tspecfal from United Press.)


 Miamisburg, O., May 22.-The police to-day are guarding a crazy carpenter who nearly wrecked a trolley car and endangered the lives of a score of pas sengerS last night when he went sud- denly insane.

Motor man Wiedener, who leaped for him, was felled by the controller bar and Conductor Thesis met the same fate With the car running at full speed and the passengers in a panic, Nipple fought the men in the car until forced from the power switch.

STIRRING UP THE WOMEN

The sweeping Republican defeat OF
1902 was attributed by Tom Reed to the
housewives of the country who felt the
pinch OF tariff taxation, hence there is
reason to hope that the influence Of the
women will be felt in the congressional
elections next year for the Payne bill
will have been in operation long enough
for the gentler sex to know how it af-
dects them. Even now they are being
disturbed by the fact that as a result of
the increase of duties they will be COM
PEELED to pay more. for their stockings,
cotton goods, hat pins, furs, feathers,
gloves, perfumes, toilet articles and tea,
while the prevailing high prices for all
kinds of wooden goods will not be re-
duced, says the New Orleans States.
1t will not be long before the .Ameri-
can housewife realizes that the new tar
1T is highly protective measure. and
because of the maximum rate which is
20 per cent above the regular rates and
which applies to nearly all the importa-
tons into the United States, the Payne
bill duties on many commodities will be
- per cent higher than the existing
Dingley rates. Moreover, such revisions
downward as appear in the bill are
wholly in the interest Of the manufac-
turers who are given freer access to raw
materials thus enabling them to make
larger profits, but there is nothing to
encourage the belief that the consumer
wall gain any advantage. Indeed, all the
ablest political economists in the United
States who have gone over the Payne
hill carefully agree that there is nothing
m it for the consumer in the way of
cheaper food, clothing and shelter.
