PUSH IS TROUBLED
IN THIRTY-THIRD
Organization Is Disrupted by
Resignation of Best Men in
Ranks of Herrinites
Union Men Embittered Over
Otis, and Division of "Sack"
Causes Fight


Troubles multiply on the push" in
the thirty-third. Their organization
has been disrupted by the resignation
OF the best men in their ranks, they
have embittered the union men by their
championship of Harrison Gray Otis
and now they are fighting among them
selves over the railroad sack"
John c. Lynch. after many importu-
mites, has sent $500 of Herrin money
into the thirty-third to help the push
win the district. This money has been
entrusted 10 Paul Fratessa, one of the
numerous machine men who want TO
represent the district in the assembly,
and not the most popular by any
means.
The honor which Lynch has conferred
upon Fratessa has excited the envy of
several other Herrin men in the thirty
third who are saying in a very loud
voice that they want to see and feel
some Of that money But Fratessa, as
duly appointed chancellor Of the Her
rim exchequer for the thirty third, has
kept tight hold on the sack and will
not give them so much as a look in"
Hence they are charging that the
money is not being spent to the best
advantage; that it will not bring ade-
quate returns on primary day; that
the district is being lost 10 the push" Z"
and that they are disguised with the
whole outfit
The union men of the district Insist
that they viii not support the ticket
arranged by friends of Harrison Gray
Otis They are telling their friends
that Michael O'Connor, whose name is
on the push" ticket, is the same union
painter who voted for Otis in the Sac
ramento convention. This fact has
caused all sorts of complications and
has hindered the push" of the district
from completing its ticket.
OConnor insists on going on the
ticket as a vindication of his conduct
al Sacramento and has insisted that
Fratessa stand by him. AS Fratessa
was bell wether OF the delegation at
Sacramento and as his advice about
voting got OConnor into trouble with
his union, he does not dare to abandon
O'Connor now. But no union men can
be found TO put their names down with
that of the Otis voter.
Even John T PidweIl, who gladly
voted for Otis and more gladly nomin-
ated Michel Henri de Young for dele
gate at large, objects to O'Connor. The
squabble has been going on for four
days now, and the push" have not yet
arbitrated their differences. Between
the trouble over the sack" and the
fight about that vote for Otis they are
nearly distracted. Meanwhile the Lin
coin Roosevelt league club of the dis
trict is pursuing its campaign with
vigor and making new conouests every
day

League Club Opposes Beban
Williams and Other Herrinites

The Lincoln Roosevelt league club Of
the forty-third district is making a
strong fight against the Herrin men of
the district, who are led by Dominic
Beban and Jack" Williams.
The forty-third is largely a district
of hotels and apartment houses and
owing to the untiring efforts of the
leaguers there was large registration
from these places. The league workers
look upon this as a good sign, for the
residents in the hotels and apartment
houses of the forty-third are of a kind

A. c. Boggs and Francis Dunn. who
are leading the league fight in the dis
trict, expect a big vote and state that
they have an excellent chance to win
the district away from Beban, Williams
and tthe other Herrin men.

"Our baby boy broke out with &C.

One place on the side of his face the
size of nickel was raw like beefsteak
for three months, and he would cry

sore and broken out. 1 gave him
three months treatment from a good
doctor, but at the end of that time the
child was no better. Then my doctor
recommended Cuticura. After using
a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a
box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a
bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was

WORKS FOR CIVIC PRIDE.
Excellent Scheme Devised by Mer
chants of Western City.

A new scheme for arousing local
pride is being worked in an enterpris-
ing western city. The plan in brief
is, instead of attempting to vitalize
the civic spirit of the whole eommu-
nifty, to organize clubs in different To-
calities and to clean up and light up
certain sections, without regard to
what may be done elsewhere. For in
stance, club is organized in a
single block, and merchants on each
side of the street are persuaded to
join. If it is desired to make the
block brilliant with light at night an
investigation is had to see how it can
be done, how much it will cost and
what it is worth. The plan has worked
so successfully that organizations are
springing up all over the same city to
devote their attention to cleaning or
lighting a certain restricted territory.
1t is much easier to secure co-opera-
ton between 20 merchants than be-
tween 200, and the influence of the
few spreads in a widening circle

How Her Life Was Saved When Bit
ten BY a Large Snake.

How few people there are who are
not afraid of snakes. Not long ago a
harmless little garter snake fell on
the wheel of an automobile which was
being driven by woman. The woman
promptly tainted and the car, left to
its own resources, ran into a stone
wall and caused a serious accident.
The bite of a poisonous snake needs
prompt attention. Mrs. K. M. Fishel,
Route No. 1, Box 40, Dillsburg, Pa,
tells how she saved her life when bit
ten by large snake.
"On August 20, 1906, l was bitten
on the hand twice by a large copper
head snake. Being a distance from
any medical aid, as a last resort
used Sloan's Liniment, and to my as
constituent found it killed all pain and

AN INTERESTING

Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result Is
Almost Like Mage-Useful, Too.

Anything in the nature Of a chem.

and usually educative. Here is a sim
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which Is destructive in a
very practical way: Get a bit of White
Lead about the size OF a pea. a piece
of charcoal, a common candle in a
candlestick, and blow-pipe. Scoop
out little hollow in the charcoal to
hold the White Lead, then light the
candle, take the charcoal and lead in
one hand and the blow-pipe in the
other. with the large end of the blow.
pipe between the lips; blow the flame
of the candle steadily against the bit
of White Lead on the charcoal and II
the White Lead is pure 1t will pres
emily resolve itself into little shining
globules of metallic lead, under the
intense heat of the blow,pipe, leaving
no residue.
IT, however, the White Lead is adul-
terated in the slightest degree, 1t will
not wholly change into lead So, it
will be seen, that this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also of practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient of paint.

terated and mixed with pure linseed

CONSCIENCE HAD SLEPT LONG.
Purloiner of Cake of Soap Makes
Restitution After Twenty Years.

Imagine a conscience that would
span 20 years and drive man to re-
member a theft of a cake of soap.
That there is such a conscience, how
ever, is proved by the receipt few
weeks ago of two cakes of soap by a
storekeeper in a little town in Mime
sofa. Twenty years ago this man,
Edward Hamilton, had a small store
in st. Paul. In front of his establish
ment he had show case in which he
displayed several large cakes of soap
OF special make. One morning he
found the glass broken open and one
OF the cakes of soap missing. The
theft was so small that the matter was
never reported, and Hamilton had for
gotten it, till he received letter from
the thief which read:
Dear Sir: l send you two cakes
of soap in payment for one l took from
your showcase in st. Paul many years
ago. recently saw your advertise
ment in a country paper and learned
of the change of your place of bust
ness. l regret deeply having taken the
soap, and trust that this which l send
will satisfactorily take it's place.
