The Cannv Scot,

In the differences that would some
times arise between members of his
tenantry the Duke of Argyll was often
invited to arbitrate upon the matter in
dispute, and he used to tell charac-
teristically Scottish story of one Of the
occasions. Two tenants having waited
upon him and asked him to decide the
question at issue. the duke put what he
always regarded as a very necessary
preliminary question. "Will you abide
by my award"
We'll. your grace" was the reply Of
one of the hard headed old disputants,
I'D like to ken first what 1t is."-Lon-
don Chronicle.

Many Nominations Left Open to Avoid

Many of Them Shine More at Fox

BETTING FAvoRs LIBERALS
CurzOn's Statement that Hereditary
House is Sure to Have More Able
Men Than Elective One II
Much Discussed.

LONDON, Jan. with the first pollings
of the general elections only a fortnight
away. the campaign shows less popular
excitement than the last stages of most
previous general elections Since the first
tremendous uproar over the rejection Of
the budget by the House Of Lords and the
general explosion of oratorical fireworks
with a remarkable amount of personal
abuse by rival politicians, the contest has
settled into a dull bombardment of
speeches and newspaper articles dealing
with the House of Lords and tariff reform.
The list of candidates is still far from
complete, while factional squabbes be-
tween tariff reformers and free traders,
in the unionist ranks, forces the radicals
and laborites, in the government forces, to
leave many opportunities for changes in
nominations already made in order to
avoid three-cornered fights.
Have Fun with Peers.
The peers on the platform continue to
furnish a picturesque element In the bat
tie. They feel compelled to face the pub
lie in order to vindicate the claims of their
class to power and as good proportion Of
them shine more brilliantly at fox hunting
than craftsmanship, their audiences get
plenty of fun out Of them, and frequently
vas at a fair with the yokels pitching balls
at 1t.
Conditions in America and Germany
under protective tariff are made the prln-
cipal topic of the debates and each side
finds many Illustrations of the blessings
or the drawbacks of a high tariff from
those countries.
The newspapers are wrangling over the
questions whether the cost Of living is

America and Germany than in Great

Newspaper Man
and Sheriff Mix
Controversy Results Over Ill-Feeling
Growing Out Of Trials of Cattle
men Recently at Basin.

BASIN, Wyo., Jan. 1.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Felix Alston, sheriff of Big Horn
county, this morning assaulted G. G. Nor
rls, a newspaper correspondent in the Of
flee of a well known Basin real estate
dealer striking Morris a stinging blow In
the face. The feeling on the part of Alston
dates back to the cattlemen's trials. Nor
rls sent out verbatim reports of the testi-
mony of the investigation of the method
of drawing juries which was heard just
before the cattlemen's trials, and which
resulted in the indictments being quashed.
In affldavits filed in court at that time
serious charges were made and Alston' S
name figured in them. Just before the
cattlemen were taken to Rawlins they
sent for Morris and the sheriff denied
him access to them. Morris later secured
an order from the court and Alston was
compelled to let the cattlemen receive the
visitor.
Alston is nearly six feet tall and weighs
about $50, while Morris is only a little
over five feet weight about 1876 and is
nearly 50 years of age. about fifteen years
the sheriffs senior. Morris did not attempt
to defend himself, but maintained his po-
stion with respect to Aston verbally.

SwitChmen's Strike May
Involve Twenty Thousand

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-''If an amieable
adjustment OF the differences between the
northwestern railroads and the switchmen
is not reached through the mediation con
ference here the strike will spread and

clared II. b. Perham, head OF the Railway

This increase will not be among the
switehmen alone, but viii come from other
organizations like the freight handlers,
the boiler makers and such affiliated as
soeiations, The switchmen are for peace
II possible, but are determined on a general
strike II these plans for mediation fail"
Mr.. Perham. who FASTENED here from ST
Paul to urge an action on the federal med
iation board with view TO bringing both
sides together, said that failure Of the
mediation plan would mean a general
strike that would tie up railroad traffic.

Little Memo, Capitol Pet
Squirrel, Commits Suicide

the story is told In the words of Captain
Persinger Of the state banking department:
Il was on my way to the state house. At
Fourteenth and II streets / saw a car
coming from the south. At the same time
1 noticed the squirrel near the track As
the car crossed II street I noticed the
squirrel dive under and 1 did not see {;
come out on the other side. When the
car had passed I wen; 20 the track and
investigated. There l found Little Memo
dead. The little fellow had run under the
car turned around and faced the direction
from which he had come. His head on.y
was touched by the car"
The conclusion is that the squirrel had
contemplated suicide since the death OF his
mate and for weeks had watched the street
car tracks for a car ana had jumped under
the first one he had seen going fast enough
TO do the deed without prolonging his
agony.

Liquor Bane Of
Allotted Indians
Fifth Murder Among Sisseton Tribe
as Result of 0verindul-
gence.


SIOUX FALLS, 5. D., Jan. 1.-(Special)
The acquittal a few DAYS ago of a Sis
seton Sioux Indian, who was charged with
murder, calls attention to the serious prob
lem which confronts those who are in
charge of the affairs of these Indians, due
to the decentralization which has resulted
from many of the Indians being afflicted
with an overpowering desire for strong
drink
Since the year 1892 five murders have
been committed among this tribe as the
result of over-indulgence in liquor AS
these Indians have al taken their allot-
ments of land they have the same stand
ing as white men and there is no way, ex-
cept by moral suasion, to prevent them
drinking liquor to excess.
The guilty parties in each of the murder
cases were arrested, but the outcome of
their trials also has contributed materially
TO the decentralization of the drinking In
dians, as only one conviction resulted this
being responsible to a great extent for
the small value placed upon human life
by the drinking and more reckless mem
bers OF the tribe.

BABYs SKIN TORTURE


when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what 1t was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept US awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally l got a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and l am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and a half to see If it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. l hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,
