MEDIAT0RS GIVE UP
WI Take Up Westerm Szatch-

washington, Jan. efforts to adjust the
strike OF the Northwestern switchmen have
been abandoned. Chairman Knapp of the
interstate Commerce Commission and Dr.
Z. p Neill. Commissioner of Labor, the
medlators under the Erdman act, had a
final conference with H. B. Perham to-day.
1t was determined that nothing further
could be done to effect a settlement.
The following statement was given out
by Chairman Knapp late this afternoon:
The conferences that have been held dur
ing the last few days between Mr.. Perham.
the president of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers and head of the railway
branch of the American Federation of
Labor, and Chairman Knapp of the Inter
state Commerce Commission and Com
missioner of Labor Neill, have been ad-
definite If any new developments occur
and if the outlook for amicable adjust
ment should become more promising, the
mediators will again take up the case and
attempt to bring about an adjustment.
Mr.. Perham was keenIy disappointed by
his failure to bring about a settlement. He
had conference in the afternoon with
Chairman Knapp. but it resulted in nothing.
Proceedings in mediation of the contro-
versy between the officials of the railways
operating out Of Chicago and their switch
men will be begun at the offices of the In
terstate Commerce Commission in this city
next Wednesday. The negotiations will be
conducted under the Erdman act. II the
mediation should prove unavailing. 1t is
entirely likely that the controversy will be
referred to arbitration, under the provi-
sions of the law.
The differences which are to be considered
are precisely similar to those which result
ed in the strike of the Northwestern switch
men. The most serious questions involved
are those concerning wages and hours of
labor, and double pay for overtime and
Sundays.

LEAST RESISTANCE

Afterall, toimprove New York
property is merely to follow the
lines of least resistance.
First, because the develop
ment OF your property is In
line with the City's expansion.
Secondhand this is the
milk in the cocoanut-because
the owner who improves his
property, also improves his In
come and possibly his temper.
To pay taxes and carrying
CHARGES on unproductive prop
erty is to disregard the philos-

The burden of carrying New

ELECT BEVERIDGE
AS IOWA SENATOR
College Professor Says That It Would
Be Proper to DO such
Thing.

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa, Nov. IT,
To elect Senator Beveridge of Indiana
as United States senator from Iowa
to succeed the late Senator Dolliver
and carry on the forward movement
in the republican party" in which the
Indianian has been leader, is the
startling suggestion of Professor Macy
of the chair of political science In
Grinnell college. Professor Macy
says that there is nothing in the fed
eral constitution to prevent the Iowa
legislator electing Beverage as sena-
tor from this state if he will merely
declare 1t his legal residence. The
professor gets his idea from the Eng
lish system. under which members of
parliament are elected by districts
without regard to residence.

A Biz Shortage In Seeds.

From almost all sections comes the re-
port of 1rightfu! shortages in seed corns;
also in some varieties of seed barley,
oats, rye, wheat, flax, clovers and the
early varieties of potatoes.
This is particularly noticeable in the
great corn and oat and potato growing
states.
Thus: The great states of Nebraska and
Iowa are suffering from dearth Of seed
corn as never before.
The wde-awake farmers in these and
other states are placing their orders early
for above seeds in order to be on the safe
side, and we can but urge farmers to
write at once to the John A. Salzer Seed
Co., Box ,1S2, La Crosse WIS, for their
farm Sseed and corn catalogue.
The magnitude of the business OF this
long established firm can be somewhat
estimated when one knows that in ordi-
Lary years they sell:
$4,000 bushels of elegant seed corn.
100000 bushels of seed potatoes.
100000 bushels of seed oats.
10000 bushels of seed wheat.
100000 bushels of pure clover and timo-
thy seeds, together with an endless
amount of other farm seeds and vege-
table seeds, such as onions, cabbages, car
rots, peas, beans, lettuce, radishes, toma-

81 wish that you would warn the
people of the state against the fakirs
and grafters who are going about seek
ing whom they may devour by means
of promoting fire and life insurance
companies" said superintendent
Barnes of the insurance department
"These fellows have some so-called in
surance stock schemes and they Of
fer their victims blocks of stock and
other glittering inducements to insure
their life and their salvation. They
are beyond the pale of the state law,
and in most cases have nothing more
substantial to back up their assertion
than wind. There are at tnis time
one or two real insurance companies
being organized in the state, but it
would be we'll for the purchaser or in
vestor to inform himself as to the re-
liability of the scheme before he takes
hold of it. If he will inform this Of
flee of the offers made him we can
quickly inform him of the regularity
of the company. The woods are full
of insurance company grafters at this
time, but they may be distinguished
by the offers they make of stock and
other inducements beyond the pale OF
legitimate earnings and possibilities. "

DRY SHAMPOO BETTER THAN
SOAP AND WATER.
(From the New York Graphic)

(From the New York Graphlc)
"Once in two or three months Is as
often as It is advisable to wash the
hair with soap and water" says Clarl-
bel Montague, the beauty expert THE
rubbing. drying and rinsing, together
with the action of the alkali in the
soap-especially the alkali-tend to
make the hair coarse, hard and brittle.
Too much moisture causes the hair to
become thin and lose its color.
"A simple and satisfactory dry sham
poo is made by mixing four ounces of
powdered orris root with four ounces
of therox. Sprinkle tablespoonful OF
this mixture on the head and brush
thoroughly through the hair once or
twice week. That is all there is to
it. This treatment not only keeps the
hair light, fluffy and lustrous, but
therox produces the growth OF new
hair"
