$40 up to 5000 is the latest complaint
of outraged politicians and near
friends of assistant doorkeepers and
other notables at the big gathering.
Whether these tickets put up at auc-

of the 1000 guest tickets distributed
by Fred w. Upham or delegate tick

Animals and Birds That Fight.


You would hardly believe that moles,
clumsy and almost blind, become per-
feet demons when they quarrel. No
one knows what they quarrel about,
but If they once start fighting one has
to die. They will keep on i'll the pres
ence of any number of spectators,
hanging on to one another like bull
dogs and burying their enormously
strong jaws and teeth in one another's
flesh.
Hedgehogs, another type of the quiet.
ino6snsive looking animal, not only
fight, but always to the death, and
when one is killed the other generally
devours him.
Hares, on the other hand, are proven
bially the most timid Of creatures, yet
they can fight. A fight between two
hares is ludicrous sight, as they skip
and jump over one another. But a
blow from the hind legs of hare Is
no joke to his opponent.
Among birds, robins are the most
pugnacious. More than one case could
be quoted Of two robins SO frantically
set on killing one another as to have
allowed themselves to be picked up in
the hands Of a locker on and there
have lain with beak and claws deeply
buried In one another's plumage.

the ten minute cheering for 'Roos-e-

been presented to the convention, is
"tee tering" for another bound, If a
few obstacles can be removed from his
path.
Mr.. Smythe, who now is "a years

not unwilling to wave flag and meg

ability to arouse a convention to pro-
1onged shouting, but he is lacking in

May Repeat Performance.
The young man is not cast down by
the condition. He attended the form
er convention without the priced paste
board, procured a place upon the plat
form without credentials of any kind,
save a discarded badge, and, Selling
an opportune moment, took the cen

for ten minutes.
The last words of the speech plac-
Ing President Roosevelt in nomination
had just been spoken when young
Smythe, then 20 years old, stepped to
the edge of the platform waving a
huge American flag. Placing mega
phone to his lips he beat time with the
flag to the chant of Roosevelt, Roos-

for ten minutes.
The Roosevelt enthusiasm of the
young man, who is a son of Philadel-

attended the inaugural of the presi-
dent and vice president-also without
a ticket-and made a trip to Oyster
Bay, where he was the guest of the
president.

PAPERS OF AIDING THE CAUSE.

Chicago, July 1.-THE only woman
who has a seat on the floor of the Re
publican convention as a regular del
egate is Mrs. Lucy A. Clark of Brig
ham City, Utah, and it is declared
that she also will be the only woman
convention.
Mrs. Clark is in hopes that the Re-
publican party will go on record in
favor of woman suffrage at this con-
vention. George Sutherland of Salt
Lake City, one of the delegates from
Utah and a member of the resolutions
committee, will, on the request of
Mrs. Clark, introduce a resolution in
the committee in favor of the enfran-
chisement 'of women.
Mrs. Clark came to the city merely
as an alternate delegate. Three hours
after her arrival. however. the Utah
delegates went into caucus.
Main Fails to Appear.
Then it was found that one of the
regular delegates G. E. Loose of
Provo City-was absent. Further it
was discovered that Mr.. Loose would
not come to the convention. Thereup-
on the vacant position was allotted to
Mrs. Clark as a regular delegate, and
the gold badge was pinned upon her
dress.
"Of course, I'm tremendously proud
to be the only woman delegate at the
convention" said Mrs. Clark. AS far
as l can find out I will be the only
woman who has ever sat in a Republi-
can convention as a regular delegate"

MODERN CLOTHES CAUSE OF WEAKNESS

neck and shoulders and the closely
buttoned waistcoat about the chest,
cause construction and collapse of
the entire trunk. This means COM
preston and displacement of the
vital organs. Now every one of
these organs does its work by
means of vigorous motion. The
heart and lungs expand and con-
tract; the stomach and intestines
have their peculiar churning move
ment. When pressed downward
and against each other, these or
gans cannot possibly give proper
service, and many diseases, such as
indigestion, constipation and con-
sumption are the result. The big
bodied, high chested person is gen.
orally strong and healthy; the
small bodied person seldom ST.
Around the waist the tight belt
and the corset get in their deadly
work, collapsing the body and i'm
peding organic function.
Of all the injurious features of
modern clothes, the artificial heel is
the worst; for by raising the back
of the foot it places that important
organ-the foundation of the body
upon tilt, an angle. The result
is displacement of every structure
in the body, with consequently in
creased liability to weakness and
disease.
Then the thickness of clothing is
another injurious factor. The skin
breathes-actually takes in oxygen
and lets out poisonous gases just
like the lungs. We smother the
skin. Hence extra work is thrown
upon other organs, with resulting
arrangement. Overdressing is a
frequent factor in the production of
kidney disorders.
And what can we do about it?
Not much. Mrs. Grundy won't let
us. We can only wait for the golden
age; and meantime dress as lightly,
loosely and sensibly as possible.

BY w. r. C. LATSoN, m. D.

To declare that clothing is one of
the principal causes of disease will
arouse surprise, perhaps unbelief.
But after much thought on the sub
ject, l am convinced that clothing
as worn by the average man and
woman of "civilization" is one of
the most destructive influences Of
modern life.
The ladies and gentlemen of Da-
honey dress for ornament entirely
"a few tufts of feathers on the
head, a string of beads, gay
girdle, beaming smile; and they
are complete.
And the ladies and gentlemen of
modern civilization dress from ex-
actly the same motive-desire for
ornament. Out of this false and
primitive ideal arise all the evils of
conventional clothing.
Modern clothing is injurious in a
hundred ways. The mans tight hat
band cuts off the blood supply of
the upper part of the head; and the
hair thus, starved, dies and falls out,
The woman's l., hat, ridiculous
though it may often be, is more
hygienic than the mans. Blu the
tight neck dressing so much worn
by women is both ugly and injur-
ious, In the first place, pressure
upon the neck causes wasting and
deformity. The construction also
prevents the free return of blood
from the head and face, and so con-
! duces to headache, eye disorders
and skin eruptions. A woman with
red nose cannot be cured as long
as she wears tight neck dressing.

MUST CREATE
81 PRECINCTS

The largest registration in the
history of the city has been listed
for this presidential campaign, the
total being 1904 against 12,459
registered for the last spring cleo
ton. The cause of the large reg
istration just closed is not only on
account of awakened interest in
the presidential campaign, but the
large growth of the city as we'll.
Indicative of the growth is the
great difference in the present reg
istration and that of 1900, which
was 8,276.
The annexation Of a mile of ter
ritory on the north and south and
a mile and half on the east add
ed greatly to the figures, also. This
territory was added to the First,
FoursW and Fifth wards and the
registration from those wards was
greatly increased. On account of
the large registration the city
council will probably soon add
more precincts.
The law provides that when more
than ESQ people register from a
precinct it shall be divided and a
new precinct made. On the basis
of the registration, "a more pre-
