"HON. JIM"
Is One of The Busiest Men In
Congress.

The Washington correspondent in
writing up the w. Virginia Congress-
man, has this to say of our former
townsman, Hon. James A. Hughes.
while James Anthony Hughes
has served as long as Gaines, he
has not been SO prominent or as muc'
in public print The Hughes strong
hold Is to keep a firm hand and
watchful eye on his district, and he
is probably in closer touch with the
voters of his district than any other
member of the West Virginia delega-
ton. Hughes was given small
craftsmanship in this Congress, the
committee on accounts, and while the
aforesaid committee does not give
opportunity for fame or oratory, the
Hon. Jim has much to do, and his
name gets into the Congressional
Record very often, thanks to his re-
ports.
Hughes is number three on the
census committee, and this body will
have lot to do in the next House,
The Hon. Jim can fix few Of hist
constituents with good places in the
census office perhaps easier than
other members not on the committee,
and this fact seems very well known
in the Fifth district, judging by the
letters Of anxious ones who desire
a residence and salary in Washing
ton. 1t must also be told of Hughes
that he comes back to Congress every
two years with the largest majority
Of the whole West Virginia bunch,
and despite all the wees and tribu-
ties, and Governor Glasscock got the
benefit of the large vote east In the
lations of the last campaign in the
State, Hughes led all his colleagues
when the returns were tabulated. OF
course we hear of slick and secure
methods in the Fifth district that
make for large Republican majori-

hands of a commission which had
the power to use it in bring to JUS
tice the murderer or murderers Of
Gov. Goebel, has been denominated O
corruption fund by those charged
with the crime and has figured large
ly in all the trials.
The attorneys for the defense haV
always pleaded that it was blood mon
ey and have posted as martyrs to
the fund IN the reward offered. In
all of the trials and speeches in
defense of the prisoners, this fund
was dwelt on extensively and the
power that 1t could be brought Into
use.
One of the principal grounds for
the pardons is this fund which rests
over the fugitives. =.

To freshen Bread.

When a large quantity OF home
made bread has been baked at one
time, some OF 1t, II kept long, is
sure to become hard and unappetiz-
ing. This can be made as good as
new by a very simple method, Dir

heated through. After It has been
pan in the oven, and bake until 1t Il
taken out wrap 1t In n damp cloth.
and when cold It will be quite as
good as when first baked.

fast the above method may be used
for relocating, Bread, mullins and

is responsible for it. The position

SPAkKERS REALLY SPANKED
BUT THE OFFENDING BROTHERS
WE'RE TAKEN BACK INTO THE
BOSOM OF THE FAMILY.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March %
The stir and excitement over the
bolt" detection, fall down or
whatever it can be called without
giving offense is giving place to talk
of the new tariff bill to some extent,
but the report of the spanking"
committee of the house democratic
caucus, which was made last night,
is being discussed some today.
The six Georgians who voted for
the Fitzgerald rules resent being
called "bOlters," and insist that they
are the real democrats and the other
fellows the boilers, if there are any
such. Messrs. Brantley, Howard,
Edwards, Livingston, Griggs and Lee
mailed a statement TO the Georgia
papers, which was printed Sunday,
setting forth their side to the affair.
But the spanking committee,
which reported at the caucus Mon
day night, spanked" and spanked"
pretty hard, although they did not
recommend that their recalcitrant
colleagues be ruled out of the party
caucuses hereafter. One of the
claims of the ''bolters word
used in Pickwickian sense is that
the democratic caucus has never been
a real caucus at all, but that it only
advises" and that members who
take part in it are not bound to vote
as the caucus says.
The spanking committee, which
was directed to formulate rules for
the caucus, reported in favor of MAX
ing the caucus binding. The Offend
ing brothers have been taken back
into the bosom of the family after a
severe lecture and given to under
stand that while it is all right this
time if they do it again something
terrible is sure enough going to hap
pen to them.
Five Georgia members did not get
off the reservatiOn-Mess Adam
son, Bell, Bartlett, Hardwick and
Hughes. These are not saying much,
with the exception of Messrs. Bartlett
and Hardwick. Bartlett was not on
the spanking committee, but Hard
wick was, and he is a spanker from
Spankersville in this matter.
The Georgia six" are preserving
dignified indignation at all the
criticism. They were on hand at
the caucus Monday night to take
their medicine. Their attitude is not
one of harsh words for their fellows,
however. They don't repent, but
they say they are misunderstood, and
it will all come out in the wash.

READY FOR THE OPENINGS
The Dry Goods and Millinery PeO-
pie of Dawson Will Make Their
Spring Displays.

The dry goods merchants and mil
linery dealers of Dawson will all
have their annual spring openings
in the next few days, and the spring
parade of fashion will be worth see
ing.
Some of the openings are being
held this week and others will fol-
low next week. The merchants all
have their announcements in today's
News, and the outlook is that the dis
plays will be greater than have ever
been made before.
The milliners are all busily en-
gagged in arranging their displays,
getting many of the best shapes
trimmed for their exhibitions and all
vieing with each other to make the
best possible showing when their Wis
itors come to see what they have.
Quite a number of out of town
shoppers have been in the city the
past week, and all of them are great
ly pleased with the goods on display.
For several years the Dawson mer-
chants have been catering very
largely to the out of town trade.
They have realized that there is
certain class of trade who want to
buy their goods away from home,
and they have tried to catch that
trade.
Last year and the year before they
were very successful in holding it
here, and they expect this year to
do even better. Many of the shop
pers who came here last season
were so pleased with their expert
ence that they will not only come
again themselves, but will bring 9TH
ers with them.
In the meantime the competition
among the merchants is very sharp,
and they are all trying to Guido
each other with their exhibits of up
to-date garments, hats, etc, for the
ladies, and are also marking the
prices down.

MONSTER LIONS WILL PERFORM
With the Big Sparks Shows in Daw-
son Today.

There are some wonderful lions
with the John H. Sparks Shows,
which will exhibit in Dawson today.
They are not only of size and beauty,
but have been trained to do some of
the most thrilling acts ever presented
to an audience. Mons DOucet, the
lion tanner, was born and raised in
the jungles of equatorial Africa, and
from childhood was accustomed to
hear the roars of lions that prowled
about his cabin at night.
Thus reared the boy became a lion
tanner and hunter. Selecting some
cubs from the largest species known
he educated them to perform feats
that illustrate the strength of these
beasts. A pair of these animals will
be turned loose in steel enclosure
in full view of the audience. Doucet
will enter this enclosure unarmed,
and put the lions through some as
tonishing performances.
