SENATOR ROSE STILL CONFIDENT
Patrons Of County Option Measure Ex-
pect Early Action.

Columbus, O.-It seems to be agreed
among the friends and opponents Of
the Rose local option bill that the
measure will not be reported to the
senate before next Wednesday. The
matter is in the hands OF Senator
Drake, who is not only chairman of
the temperance committee, but whose
vote is necessary to get favorable
report on the measure.
The senator from Erie holds the hal
ancc OF power in the committee, with
Senators Atwell and Sites favoring
the measure and Senators Ward and
Harper opposing it.
Senator Drake has shown no dispo-
siticn to recede from his announced
position of friendliness to the meas.
ure. and says that he will not only
vote to report the bill to the senate
favorably, but will cast his vote the
same way on the final roll-call.

SAVED FROM THE "PEN"
Because AccompIice of Counterfeiters
Will Soon Become a Mother.

Portsmouth, O.-Judicial clemenCy
exercised by Judge Blair saved the
Ohio penitentiary officials a repetition
of the problem which confronted them
in a Cleveland case recently Mrs.
Della Price Taylor, a confessed mem
ber of a local band of counterteiters,
was allowed her freedom, because she
is soon to become a mother.
Others of the gang received peniten-
tiary sentences. The Taylor wOman's
husband Edward Taylor. was sent up
for Is months; her father, Smith
Price, got two years; while Frank Gift
ford, a bartender who refused TO plead
guilty, was given a four-year sentence.
According to Prices confession, they
had made about S1l in quarters and
halves when gathered in.

One Editors Advice.

A western editor in a recent number
of his paper says: 1--WE again desire
to call our readers attention to the
fact that they should buy everything
they use from home merchants, and
not aid in building up large establish
ments in a distant city. Did you ever
stop to think that every cent you buy
at home aids the city in which you
live, and all you send away drains the
city Of that much Of the medium of ex-
change that should remain at home?
The stability of your home institutions
depends upon you and you alone. You
do not believe that, but remember
when you speak Of other persons it is
said as you, and when thus explained
means you. Your trade at home will
make better mercantile establish
ments and better city. The next
time you are possessed with spirit
Of getting something away from home,
gently call halt and go to your home
merchants and call for what you want
and in nine cases out of ten you will
find the desired article, but should you
fail, ask the merchant to get it for
you and see how rapidly he win ac-
commodate you, and when the price is
named and you compare it with the
catalogue you will be agreeably sur
prised. Discard the idea that you
must get something from a distance,
but instead buy at home and every
citizen become an advertising medium
and You viii be surprised at the result
Don't say That article does not apply
to me. for what little get away from
home does not amount to anything.
Tou are mistaken. for every little put
together make the larger things. Be
tsYsl and dc al your trading ct home"

orloin of "p'oyIev" Linen.

Few know the origin of the word
dOyley. in the reign of William l.,
Robert d'Oyley. Norman knight, was
granted an estate at Hook-Norton,
which he held on the condition that ON
every feast of st. Michael he rendered
to the king a linen tablecloth valued
at three shillings. The ladies' OF the
d'Oyley household embroidered these
fine cloths. which were exclusively
used at the royal table, and as they
were very beautifully worked on thu
finest of linen they were called
"d'Oyley lineu." and SO nowadays the
name d'Oyley is applied as thea tor

the liberation of Thaw, either at the

HISTORY OF NOTORIOUS
WHITE MURDER TRIALS

Stanford White, who was a member
Of the noted architectural firm Of
McKim, Mead & White, was shot by
Harry Kendall Thaw, spendthrift son
of William Thaw of Pittsburg, on the
evening of June rs, 1906, at the Madi-
son Square Roof Garden in New York
during the performance of a comic
opera. White was sitting alone at
table listening to the chorus "a Could
Love a Million Girls" when Thaw
came in with his wife, Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, and a friend. Thaw shot three
times, White dying almost immediate
Iy. Thaw submitted to arrest quietly
and made the statement that: "He
referring to White), ruined my wife,"
Mrs. Thaw, as Evelyn Nesbit, went
from Pittsburg to New York as an ar
lists model and later was a member
of the famous FIorodora chorus.
Thaw was indicted three days after
the shooting and his trial was begun
two weeks later. He pleaded not
guilty, the defense being made by his
counsel on the now famous "brain-
storm" theory. After nearly two
months and a half of trial and inquiry
during which a special commission de-
cided Thaw was sane, the jury dis
agreed-seven voting for the inflic-
tion of the penalty for murder in the
first degree and five holding out for
acuuittaI, The trial cost the state
$4,000 and the defense $225,ooo.
The second trial began on the 9th
of this month and has been pushed
rapidly to its conclusion.

Well Groomed Hands.

A well groomed hand is a rarity.
even though many people are careful
about the nails. The hands show age
much quicker than the face. for few
people spend as much time on the
hands as they do on the face. and
then the hands are in water more than
the face. with the result that they are
drier and more apt to wrinkle. Soft
and white hands are best acquired by
night treatment. Use toilet cream
that agrees with the skin. and rub It In
thoroughly before retiring. being espe-
cially careful to rub and massage the
knuckles well. Then slip on loose
pair of gloves to keep the cream on
the hands. Red hands are caused by
poor circulation and often b. tight
cuffs or bracelets. Small gloves often
make the hands red and leave marks
on them from the seams in the gloves
The only way to effect a cure is te
remove the cause.
