Hamery to Appeal to Legislature.

Superintendent Hamery of the De-
partment of Public Safety, desires
legislative action to assist him con-
troll the social evil in Des Moines.
Councilman Hamery will also well
come any assistance that might be Of
fered by any other cities of the state
along this line. The desire Of the
head of the police department is to
do away with the trust in scarlet
women that has existed, according to
evidence now gathered, for eight
years or more. Mr.. Hamery says 1t
is impossible to absolutely abolish the
evil, as it has been tried N other cities
and failed. The question now about
to be considered by Mr.. Hamery is
the segregation of the red light dis
trict some place where it will be
sanitary and at the same time not an
eye sore.

Conferences Galore.

Many conferences were held by
the standpatters in the legislature on
the 3rd. In the early morning, while
yet the midnight bells were ringing
out, there was a conference of half
a dozen of the anti-Cummins people
at one Of the hotels. Later, when
the senate was in session not a
standpatter was in his seat, and a
conference was on in which about
fifteen participated. 1t was at this
caucus that it was first definitely
agreed to stand together if the house
standpatters would do the same, in
refusing to go into caucus and in
dead locking the joint session against
the election of Cummins for United
States senator.

Queer things are alleges to get into
sausages, and perhaps the experience
of lady in Wakefield, Mass, should
not cause surprise. She was eating
sausage when she bit tack and broke
front tooth. Thereupon the lady
went into court, and jury has just
awarded her $4,000 damages. That is
the New England spirit, says the Bos
ton Herald. The Bostonians of pre-
revolutionary days made strenuous re.

sistently draws the line at tacks in

The state amendment federation
will not introduce the resubmission
joint resolution to this special ses-
sion of the legislature. The fedora
ton fears that the special session may
not have the time to give to debate,
and fight during the legislature that
this measure might mean. In view
OF the fact that the regular election
is at hand and the next session of
the legislature is to be in January,
the Rev. r. T. Chipperfield of Sioux
City, president of the federation, does
not believe in the ACCESSIBILITY of sub
hitting this constitutional amendment
bill to this legislature. The fedora
ton would first get in touch with the
members of the legislature on this
bill after the election this fall. j. A.
Harvey of Perry, a member. of the
committee, and the Rev. w. C. Bar.
Der, secretary, are both in opposition
to the proposed plan. Since the an
nouncement of the intention to pre-
sent this bill the federation has re-
ceived number of protests from
temperance people from over the
state.

lawyers of the committee have
agreed, practically.
1t is commonly believed that this
form will be acceptable and is likely
to be made law without any serious
opposition. Messrs. Whipple and
Harding are standpatters.
The important feature of the pro-
posed law, of course, relates TO the
test of party affiliation, it having
been decided that separate ballot
must be used The form of oath to
be administered to the voters seek
ing to participate in the primary cleo
ton of a party is adapted from the
New York law and is as follows:
That 1 affiliate with and in gen.
eral believe in and am in sympathy

party; that it is my intention to sup
port generally at this general cleo
ton the nominee of such party, and
that 1 have not enrolled with nor
participated in any primary election

party since the first day of the pre-
ceding year.

bark or surface of the leaf or fruit as
the case may be, to where the sap of
the tree can be obtained, and the in
sect sucks this sap for its food. Its
legs now disappear, its body becomes
hemispherical, and white waxy threads
appear over its back. These mat to-

scales are often very noticeable. Lat

Its skin, and the molted skin is added |
