word that 1t will be sent that afternoon

knows nothing about the work he pro-

The Insanity Plea.

The supreme court of New York
has ordered Harry Thaw back to the
asylum till it can be shown to the
satisfaction of any court that there
is no probability of a recurrence of
homicidal mania. his should be the
outcome of the examination of Ches-
ter Thompson. The spectacle of
Thaw's mother and thompson
father striving to get their sane but
degenerate sons out of prison is very
pitiful, but this does not count
against the fact that CHASTITY trav-
esty of justice was worked in the
trials of the young men for murder.
Complaisant juries yield to maudlin
sentiment in rendering verdicts on
the insanity basis, but court unham-
pered by juries should be above such
influences. Thaw and Thompson
ought to be immured in prison or in
asylums and forgotten for ten years.
If they survived that term there
would be some ground for plea for
clemency. Public sentiment should
demand that the insanity defense
farce be stopped.-Everett Tribune.

WOmen'S Supremacy.

Somebody once wrote a poem to
the effect that there's nothing doing
under the sun, from the cradle to the
grave, from Genesis to Revelation,
without woman in it. And that is
just as true as though it had been
originally published in the Gazette
1t seems impossible for a man to
distinguish himself to such a degree
that no woman can come along and
beat him at his own game.
Not long ago the people were
thrilled with horror over the con-
fessions of Harry Orchard, who
calmly related a story involving
murders and plots of murders cover
ing a period of twenty years or more.
He had left trail of blood behind
him, and he appeared to take par
donable pride in being recognized as
the master criminal of the age.
Those people who hold that wom-
an is an inferior creature as COM
pared with man were greatly encour-
aged. At last they believed that one
man had reached that eminence that
might not be attained by any female.
Women" they said, may invade
the pulpit and the counting-room
and even the mandatory; they may
rob us of our laurels in commerce,
literature and the fine arts; but in
crime all avenues are closed by the
triumphant achievements of Harry
Orchard. He has demonstrated the
superiority of his sex"
Scarcely had the tumult of con-
graduation died away, however, be-
fore woman (who, in her hours of
ease is uncertain, coy and hard to
please) showed that the glittering
fabric of manly achievement is made
of the stuff of dreams. A lone, lorn
widow in Indiana doomed up with a
record that made the triumphs of.
Orchard seem paltry and insignifi-
cant.
The stories from La Porte increase
from day to day the humiliation of
the male reader. He realizes, with
sense of helplessness and inferiority,
how coarse was the work of the male
champion murderer as compared
with the accomplishments of Mrs.
Guinness. He resorted to bombs and
guns and awkward lethal weapons
and left a trail of blood behind him.
She, with true womanly grace and
neatness, concealed the evidences of
her crimes and did not shock the
neighbors in any way.
Orchard might have been par
doned for his crimes, but it would

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Editorial Version.

There cannot be much satisfaction
in 'goin'' around and lickin' the edi-
tor" when the latter not only makes
copy out of the encounter but pictures
himself as the hero as well. The fol-
lowing vivid pen picture is taken
from the editorial columns of an Iowa
journal:
There was blow Somebody fell.
We got up. Turning upon our antag-
onist, we succeeded in winding his
arms around our waist, and by a
quick Vancouver threw him on top
of us, bringing our back at the same
time, in contact with the solid bed
of the printing press. Then, insert
ing our nose between his teeth and
cleverly entangling his hands in our
hair, we had him. Everybody

RETIRED BUSINESS MAN
FAV0RS new THEORY
e. H. Lambert, of Everett, Massachusetts,
Believes Stomach the Seat of Life.

One Of the most interesting state
ments made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory. that
has spread over the country during the
past year, is made by e. H. Lambert,
a retired business man, whose home is
at lis Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say in con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cines: "Some time ago I read an ar
ticle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most i'll health.
He went on to say that, although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom-
ach in sound condition, it. wonld, In
many cases, remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments.
He argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause of sickness, and
stated that the success he has had
with his medicines was due entirely
to this fact.
II am now fully convinced that this
theory is correct, and believe Cooper
has really remarkable medicine,

keeping taken a place among recog-

ed roup is one of. the greatest draw
backs in poultry raising. 1t is some
what similar to distemper in a horse.

1eadless Body Of Unclad
Woman Found BY Police.

The body of woman unclad and
headless was found rising and falling
on the waves about 80 feet of shore
near the German building, in Chicago
few days ago by the police.
The body was that of a young
woman OF apparent high station in
life. It was shorn Of every article OF
raiment-not even strip Of cloth, q
finger ring, a vestige OF adornment
being found to give the authorities q
working clew.i
There was score of minor scratches
and bruises over the body in addition
to the major wounds. The top Of the
head was completely gone as though
severed with an axe. The neck was
cut and bruised. The right arm was
fractured. There was deep cash on
the left groin, the right knee cap was
broken, and there were two clean
cuts just below, the heart.
The police say that nothing but a
blade driven by human hand could
have caused the marks below the
woman's heart. The body had ap-
parently been in the water for two
weeks, possibly longer.

Hvma 70 Boiled Eggs.

A well known minister relates that
visiting in the country near here re-
Gently where the family did their own
work, he was awakened quite early
by the tones of soprano voice sing
ing, 'Nearer Ny God to Thee" AS
the preacher lay in bed he meditated
upon the piety which enabled his hos
tess to go about her task early in the
morning singing such noble hymn.
At breakfast he spoke to her about it,
and told her how pleased he was.
"Oh law" she replied, 'that's the
hymn I boil eggs by-three verses for
soft and five for hard"
And the preacher ate the three
verse eggs.-Johnson News-Monitor.

The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says, Zone Of the
objects of the law is to inform the con-
sumer Of the presence of certain harmful
drugs in medicines. The law requires
that the amount of chloroform, opium,
morphine, and other habit forming
drugs be stated on the label Of each
bottle. The manufacturers Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy have always
claimed that their remedy did not con-
tain any Of these drugs, and the truth
Of this claim is now fully proven. as no
mention Of them is made on the label.
This remedy is not only one OF the
safest, but one Of the best in use for
coughs and colds. Its value has been
proven beyond question during the many
years it has been in general use. For
sale by Kaufman Drug.
