FOR "TIPLESS BARRIERS"
Proposed to Raise the Business to the Dignity of "TOnsOrial DOctOr.''

Pittsburg, Sept. 17.-A movement is on foot among barbers themselves for 'tipless barbers,' and the eleva- tion of their profession to the degree of I'd. t. or "tonsorial doctor.'' J. c. Shannessey, general organizer of the International Barbers' Union, is here promoting the movement. He declares that in 19 states some sort oi a state board examination is all ready required of barbers and many are accustomed, like medical men, to send in monthly or quarterly bills.
 In an address to the local barbers' union, he urged that Pennsylvania adopt such license and degree plan and announced that at the natioaal convention of barbers in Ind1an- apolis, September p, the best state law now in existence would be se- lected as model in a campaign for nation wide uniformity in require ments for) admission to the profess sion.

ARE VOTE SELLERS?
Chicago Election Commissioners Say They Cannot Answer the Question.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-Charges of pet ty frauds in large numbers that were expected to materialize before the board of election commissioners as a result of alleged repeating and vote buying at the primary Thursday did not show life at the commission CTS office yesterday.
 Ardor of some of the investigat- ors was dampened by their discovery that the primary law provided pun ishment for the voter who sell his vote or accepts bribe, but at the same time provides immunity for the candidates or politicians who do the bribing or buy the vote.
 There is nothing we can do in these cases so far as the bribers are concerned said John c. Cannon, chief clerk for the commissioners. 'It seems rather strange, but the law seems to be perfectly plain in it's ex- pression. It would practically be impossible to find out who the vote sellers are.'

Little Rock, Ark, Sept 1.-The above "ad,' appearing elsewhere in the Democrat today, is an index to a most remarkable story of young mans search for his mother.
 For several days John Spickerman, successful young merchant of F'redericktown, Mo-, has been in Lit tie Rock endeavoring to secure some trace of his mother and several step sisters and brothers, but so far with out avail.
 He says his real name is John Dash, or Desch, the name under which he is assessed, but that all his life he has been known as John Spickerman, having taken the name of a wealthy German who adopted him as child.
 He tells substantially the follow ing story:
 About thirty years ago his father, John Dash, who was residing in Lit tle Rock at the time, married a vii dow with six children, most of whom were girls. Young Spickerman was born of this union about a year later, and when he was eighteen months old his father and mother separated because of some domestic differences. sShe left her husband, taking with her the six children by her former mar riage, but abandoning the baby to his father. ..
 Soon aftc, JZn- 6ashs thee in fant named for himself, left Little Rock and located at Minlamotte, Mo-, where he was taken sick and died two weeks later. The child was also critically i'll and was taken charge of by John Spickerman, wealthy Ger man citizen. He wired to the child mother in Little Rock that the boy was dying and if she wished to see him she should come at once. Af- ter his recovery she went .to Minla- motto and wanted to take sher son away, but Spokesman refused to give him up, having become attached to the child, and lawsuit followed, in which the foster-father spent about $1,5O0 to retain possession of him. Spickerman won and Mrs. Dash left, returning to Little Rock. it is presumed, and the boy has never since had any trace of her or he. other children.
 The boy grew up, entered business and prospered. For several years he has been engaged in the mercan- tile business at FredericMown, Mo-, as a partner in the o. K. Store Com pany. Several days ago he decided to take short vacation, and, coming to Little Rock, endeavored to get some trace of the mother whom he does not remember or of whom he has not heard in about three decades
 So far he has been unable to get any trace of her. He has searched the marriage records and cannot find the record of his fathers marriage that he might learn what his moth- CTS name was before her second wedding.
 He will spend few more days here and then return home. He is anxious that anyone who may be able to throw any light on the mys- tery shall communicate with him at Frederick town, or through the Ark ansas Democrat.
