ANYTHING TO oeLIeE A LADY.
Gallant Dancer Simply MIsunderstood
Fair Partners Request

The story is told Of young Oregon
girl, a favorite in society, but who was
poor and had to take care not to get
her evening gowns soiled, as her num-
Der was limited.
At a dance not long ago a great big,
redfaced, perspiring man came in and
asked her to dance. He wore no gloves.
She looked at the well-meaning but
moist hands despairingly and thought
of the immaculate back of her waist.
She hesitated a bit and then said.
with winning smile:
"Of course | will dance with you,
but, II you don't mind, won't you
please use your handkerchief"
The man looked at her blankly a
moment or two. Then q light broke
over his face.
why, certainly" he said.
And he pulled out his handkerchief
and blew his nose.-Woman's Home

Butterflies In Mimlcry.

Caterpillars and butterflies go far
in the line of mimicry, They assume
the strangest, most impossible dis
guises, appearing now in the shape
of leaf or stem, now as a bundle of
dark-green pine needles, and now
again as a bud or flower, all for the
innocent purpose of concealing them.

their enemies. the birds. When the

lect of the mine officials TO keep it
thoroughly wet down. Beyond this all
is conjecture. Nothing else is certain.
The state mine inspectors submit
eight rules. but those rules are the
same rules under which disasters occur
red at Virginia City and Yolande. Those
rules have been sent out in circulars
to all mine operators, but something
more than circulars are needed if the
state is to be spared repetitions of
mining horrors. The eight rules should
be enforced by the strong hand of the
state. It is the states duty to protect
the thousands who go down into the
bowels of the earth to dig coal. After
all. the real blame in the last analysis
rests upon the state authorities who
have not enforced the eight rules pre-
scented by the state mine inspectors.
Those rules should be kept in opera
ton by the state in every mine in the
district.

Camnaiun Contributions

The President spoke freely and
strongly in his last annual message
against the practice of magnates of
purchasing the executive head of the
country, debating the nominee and
naming his policy. Against this prac-
tice which spells, in the long run, the
downfall of the republic President
Roosevelt spoke emphatically and
plainly. He wants no more of it. He
has got his fill, SO to speak, and Cor
telyou superintended the filing.
Let us give the President credit,
however, for present intentions. But
what are the intentions of the rest of
the republicans who have voice IN
this matter? What do Joe Cannon,
and Aldrich and Allison and Dalze1l
think about it?
Here is duty for the minority mem
bers of Congress to perform. Let them
prepare bill on the lines of the pres
idential message appropriating a def
mite per capita sum for campaign ex-
penses to each party based on the last
vote polled, and prohibiting all private
campaign contributions. Let the bill
be prepared and then let us see what
Aldrich, Cannon & Co. will do with it.
Let the bill be presented in both
houses. Let it be debated in the Sen
ate, and let it be inquired after in the
House at least once week. In other
words, let the position of the republi-
cans on the question of purchasing
presidential elections through the use
of great slush funds gathered from
trusts and other law breakers, be made
clear, or rather official, for it is clear
now even to the wayfarer

Greater Birminqham

Last nights Good Cheer" meeting
under the auspices of the Commercial
club plainly showed the deep feeling
that exists in this community toward
making the census Birmingham con-
form to the real Birmingham. On
New Years day Mobile was arbitrarily
enlarged, and if this city should drift
along with unchanged boundaries it
would have to accept a place in the
coming census lists below that of
Mobile
This would be misleading and II
might be damaging in many directions.
There is really no danger of unpatri-
otto action on the part of the people
of this valley provided full vote can
be polled. Let every man do his full
duty. Let him not only vote, but let
him also see that his neighbor votes.
Make patriotism and local pride the
keynote of Mondays election, and gen.
eral apathy will disappear Give one
day to the general good of the people
of Greater Birmingham, and the vote
will be one that all will be proud of.
Indifference is Greater Birmingham's
chief enemy, outranking even Selfish
ness and Ignorance.
The sanitary situation alone should
suffice to cause the head of every
household to go to the polls. Although
the county has contributed at great
expense two excellent trunk sewers,
which are in fine working condition,
yet there are thousands of homes in
this valley that are not connected with
either of them. This means that filth
is accommodating in this valley, and that
no one is safe against the inroads of
dangerous disease. Consolidation is
the true and only remedy.
Between the preservation of the
public health and a just and laudable
local pride no qualified voter should
hesitate on Monday next. He should
go to the polls and cast vote that he
will ever be proud of, and then he
should turn about to hunt up his neigh
bors and induce them to do likewise.

Blast Furnace Capacity

B. 3. V. Luty, writing in the Iron
Trade Review, predicts that "the era
just closing will prove to be the last
great era of new blast furnace erection
based upon Lake Superior ores. Oc-
casionally new furnaces will be built
to use Lake Superior ores, but the next
great development will be for the pur-
pose of using other ores from sources
outside the Lake Superior region as at
present known" This opinion is based
en- the PROBABLE exhaustion of Lake
Superior ores in from 80 to so years.
An annual movement of $4,000, 900 tons
of ore would shorten the life of the
lake Superior ore bodies to a single
generation.
The new erection period will prac-
tically be completed when the furnaces
now in course of construction are i'll
blast She list includes u furnaces
that the Steel corporation is building,
chiefly at Gary and Duquesne; fur
naces that outside steel interests are
building, and furnaces that merchant
interests have begun-a total of "a
furnaces possessing an annual capac-
ity of 3,4SO,O0O tons.
When these new furnaces are COM
pleted and blown in the total capacity
of the country for pig iron production
will exceed 100000 tons a year.
Possibly in 1909 or in some other
nearby year all the furnaces will be
needed for a demand that will extend
to 10000, 900 tons a year is by no
means impossible. In the last fiscal
year the production rose to 26,202,9S5
tons-that is to say, in the year ended
June 80, 1907.

NO VERDICT GIVEN
IN POWERS TRIAL

Georgetown KY, January 3.--Anoth-
er day has passed with the fate of
Caleb Powers undecided
All day the jury remained in close
confinement, only two events breaking
the monotony for those who waited
for the decision.
One of these was when at 1910 a. m.
the jury filed in to report their ina
bility to agree, the other was when per-
mission was given them at o'clock
to take a walk
When the jury went for walk this
afternoon it was with the understand
ing by the court and jury that they
should use their discretion in the mat
ter of returning to the court house for
further consideration of the case. The
men, haggard and worn from their long
confinement and labored discussions re-
tired for the night at 1880 o'clock and
nothing further will be heard from
them until court convenes at O'clock
tomorrow morning
From the only questions which the
jury has propounded to the court it is
evident that the discussion in the
Powers case has been along the lines
of Henry E. Youtsey's connection
directly or indirectly with the shoot
ing of Goebel. Youtsey's testimony i'm
plicated himself and Powers as well.

TURN TO
PETTIB0NE CASE

Boise, Idaho, January 9.-The jury IN
the case ofsGeorge A. Pettibone charged
with conspiracy in the murder OF for-
mer Governor Frank Steunenberg, began
its deliberations at $3.50 O'Clock tonight.
The last day of the trial was occupied
by the argument of James Hawley for
the prosecution and sthe instructions OF
the court.
The defense carried out ts announced
resolution not to argue the case, thus pre-
venting Senator Borah from addressing
the jury. Hawley fairly dared the at
torneys for Pettibone to speak in behalf
of the defendant, but they sat dumb
when he concluded.
The court room was cleared before the
jury retired, but the attorneys for the
defendant and a few of his friends wait
ed for a time in the hope of hearing the
verdict tonight No session of court was
held this afternoon on account of the ILL
ness of Juror Stahl, but he recovered
sufficiently for the trial to proceed to-
night. Pettibone was sick during the day
but he insisted that the trial be con-
Guided He was carried to the court room

The second day of the Farmers union

Mr.. Hightower was known during the
last two sessions of the legislature as
chief of the Low Pressure Brigade"
having almost an unbroken record of vot-
ing nay on appropriations, but that spirit
was attributed rather to his desire to see
the state keep out of debt and escape
the issuance of bonds than to penurious-
ness, and it Is believed he is as safe a
man as the union could have placed at
the head of it's affairs. Mr.. Hightower

1t was learned yesterday that the DO

an office man for the Departmental Sec

sion.
In this connection it is considered very
probable that such a man will soon be
chosen and that he will be Frank "

Thomas f. Parker, member of the
police commission, when asked the d.
rect question if Mr.. Evans would be
elected, was evasive, stating that mas
much as his was but one vote among the
commissioners, he would prefer not to
make a statement.
Just what effect Mr.. Evans election
would have is unknown. Chief Bodeker
stated yesterday morning that he would
like to have three men in the roles of
desk sergeants, inasmuch as he consid-
cred IL hours too long for one man to
work. There are at present two desk
sergeants.
