the night of the Dolliver- Allison meet
ing in Des Moines, his name being pre-
sented by S. "A. Foster, once candidate

Mr.. Garrison was one of the most
active assistants OF Ed. II. Hunter In
the management of the campaign OF
George d. Perkins against Governor
Cummins in 1906.
Senator Dolliver said in congress In
1906 that the railroads had expended
100000 in trying to defeat Roose-
velts rate program by securing space
in newspapers and operating rail-
road press bureau.
This bureau, for Iowa, was in charge
Of MIR. Garrison, the secretary of the
Allison club in Des Moines.
In 1905 newspapers in Iowa re-
ceived a letter signed by Wilbur J
Garrison, offering to pay money for
space against the rate regulation pro-
gram. He said that he would prefer
to pay semi-annually.. He referred

MARRIED Bun Non REsPEcIABLE.

With the news Of the attempt to
free Harry Thaw from the asylum
at Matteawan, and at the same time
the effort to free his young wife from
the domestic letters (for they are
letters from the very fact that she
wants q divorce), there must come to
all serious minds the renewed convic-
ton that the teachings of good moth
ers and fathers and the precept and
example set by them are the only true
basis of happy years In the later and
more sedate period of life. Marriages
are said to be made in heaven, but
while this is not literal, it Is a truth
that they are aimed to guide to that
haven of the hereafter.
But the Thaw-Nesbit nuptials were
never intended to unite two serious
minded young people. and were not
really expected to end happily, at
least not by those cognizant with the
facts leading up to the union. 1t was
a worldly marriage in every sense that
the word may imply. A mere compli-
ance with the laws.
The mother Of Harry Thaw tried to

this great department has never been

only the increased work done by rea-

THE GUINNESS GRIMES.

The. entire civilized world has been
shocked by the revelations following
the burning of the Guinness home,
with five inmates, near LaPorte, Ind.
and the finding of bodies of other vic
tins of a series of crimes that prom
Uses to exceed in magnitude and de-
pravity the famous Bender case. Much
mystery attaches to the tragedies so
far revealed, and the criminal experts
of two states are puzzled and baffled.
That wholesale murder has been
done Is certain. 1t is inconceivable,
however, that a woman is guilty Of
the slaughter of nine Or more human
beings, including her own offspring.
The murders extend over a period Of
several years, and are therefore not
attributable to the freaks Of an I'M
balanced mind. If the truth is ever
fully revealed, 1t will probably show
that Mrs. Guinness, while a moral de-
generate and woman who aided and
abetted murderers, was only tool in
the employ of an organized band of
Chicago cut-throats, and aided in the
disposal of the bodies Of the victims.
1t will probably be shown also that
Mrs. Guinness and her children, COM
ing under the displeasure of her as
sociates In crime, fell victim to the
inhuman fiends who have followed
murder and robbery as an avocation.
Such crimes as these reveal horrors
which make organized society sound
like a mockery.

Less Alarm at BraltIobOrO.

No new case of smallpox in Brat
tleboro mas been reported to Health
Officer Henry Tucker since Sunday,
and the public mind is reasonably
quiet. The physicians are still hav-
ing ebout all they can do in the line
of vaccination, although there has
been little letup since the first days
of the epidemic.
The proprietors of factories, stores
and Offices are generally adopting
the plan of requiring their employees
to get vaccinated or remain out
until after the epidemic is over, and
shipments from many business
places are thoroughly disinfected.
An inevitable result Of the cpl
demic has been to hurt business.
which is regretable feature of the
situation. The newspaper reports of
the epidemic, however, are stating
the conditions as they are. without
suppression or evasion, firstly aa a
matter of duty, and aecondly in the
belief that false reports would de-
stroy confidence more effectively than
true ones. The public has become
unduly alarmed, and there is no rea-
son why business shouldn't be trans
acted as usual.

THE FOOD FOR POULTRY IN
WINTER.

Much time and money have been
spent In what seems the almost vain
endeavor to make hens produce eggs
in cold weather. 1t requires but little
experience with poultry to learn the
fact that, under ordinary circum-
stances, hens cannot produce as many
eggs inzwinter as in summer. Summer
is the natural time for the laying Of
eggs, and in order, to increase winter
production there must be reproduced
for the fowls as nearly as possible the
conditions that exist in summer. Mrs.
John ]. Layzell of Brandon, VT, has
evidently succeeded in doing this with
her flock. She says: 81 have been
using Pages Perfected Poultry Food
for the last three winters, and find It
the best poultry. food ON the market.
/ have tried several different kinds,
but l got no eggs until began to use
this food"
If you want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it,

his booklet, profitable Poultry" 1t
