strictly modern method. Each de-

TWO BLAZEs.
Two Fire Alarms Sent in Yesterday.
Small Damage.

Early yesterday morning Night
Policeman Roy Clark discovered
blaze in the New Opera House. After
giving the alarm number of men who
hurried to the scene forced their way
into the building and found that apan
of ashes or live GOALS had caused the
floor to ignite but fortunately was dis
covered in time to prevent any great
amount of damage.
At about eleven O'clock yesterday
forenoon, while j. p. Frizzell was at
work Cleaning some clothes at the rear
of his tailor shop, the gasoline he was
using ignited and in very few seconds
the flame had consumed four or five
suits of clothes before being put out.
1t is thought that spark from a near
by chimney caused the fire.

roads. We could regulate the pay
ment of compensation to injured work
men in the territories and the District
of Columbus. The prime object is to
learn how far we can go with the
railroads. AS an injured employe, to
recover damages, must show in court
that the railroad company was negli-
gent there is a great waste of money
in litigation. A lawyer will get fifty
per cent, as a fee out of Judgment
for $1,000. which has cost the rail-
road $1,000 or $4,000, and the injured
employe gets about $4,000 Compen-
sation payments should be made COM
pulsory. If we give the injured en-
pioye choice of accepting compensa-
ton under this proposed law or suing
the company sol.ie lawyer will get him
with some such alluring statement as
You have a good case. Under the
compensation law you will get $4,000
and If you sue you will get 100000 !
believe the time has come to root up
the complications and expense OF It'll
cation and put in its place some
reasonable compensation law
There has been much argument
whether an employee should have the
option of receiving his compensation
in lump or in installments running
over series of years. The bulk OF
the sentiment seemed to be that the
disabled employe would be best serv-
ed by periodical payments, except In
cases of emergency such az the pay
ment of a mortgage on homestead.
Frank B. kellogg, of st. Paul and
r. N. Judson, of ST. Louis, representing
the organizations OF railway conduc-
tors, railway trainmen, locomotive en-
gineers and locomotive firemen anu
enginemen were among the lawyers
who assured the commission that the
proposed compensation law would be
constitutional.

posed law. The railroads of the
country met the situation by appoint
Ing committee OF twenty-one, of
their best lawyers, seven each from
the east, west and south, to protect
their interests. These legal rights
to agree even on the question wheth-
er the Law, as proposed, would be
constitutional. Spokesman for the
organizations of employees were not
of the same mind in all things. The
biggest controversy has been among
the lawyers over the question of the
constitutionality OF the proposed stat
ute. About an acre could be covered
by the printed pages quoting deci-
sions OF more or less precedent and
general legal lore. On the constitu-
tional question, the commissioners
are serene in mind, they being con-
vinced that, while there is no sure
prediction as to what the supreme
court of the United States will do In
any given case, the weight of author
ity seems to be that the law, If
passed, will stand test.
AS to the futility Of damage suits,
so far as employees are concerned, a
striking illustration was submitted to
the commission. A record of the out
come of 3S cases, based on the killing
of railroad employees by accident,
showed one judgment for $4,000 and
/ the next highest was s1,150. From
/ those amounts Judgments dribbled
down through the hundreds and less
than a hundred In two cases all
that the dependents got out of judg-
ments were allowances for funeral
expenses. In fifteen cases those who
sued the railroad companies were
given nothing.
] Speaking of funerals, the claims at
torney of big eastern railway was
asked by commissioner what was the
amount of money expended on the
obse4uies OF penniless and friendless
victim of fatal accident. He answer
ed that the appropriation was 500.

ERK's JAP ROSE ADVERTISED
IN NEWSPAPERS.
To Reach the Consumcr-Formeriy
Used Magazines.

| Kirk & Company have advertised Jap
Rose for the past several years very
extensively in the Standard Magazines
and Woman s Papers. but several months
ago decided to use this paper to let the
public Of this city know about Jap Rose
Soap, as they felt that the newspapers
were probably more closely read than
were the magazines. We believe that
their judgement will. be fully justified
by the number of new customers which
they will make on Jap Rose Soap through
advertising in the columns of our paper.
On the historical spot where stood the
home of John Kinzie. the first white
settler in Chicago, the firm of James s.
Kirk & Company started the manufact-
uring of high grade soaps for the Toilet
and Laundry, nearly three quarters Of
a century ago.
During this long period. such brands
as White Russian, American Family
and Flake White have become house
hold names throughout the West and
Northwest. Flake White is compar-
atiyely new brand, but of such great
merit as to have become popular
throughout the great Northwest within
the past five or six years.
The name Kirk" has long stood for
Ine hlgnest quahty IN sclentincaiiy mace
Toilet and Laundry Soaps; therefore,
it is not surprising to know that since
Rose Transparent Soap on the market
several years ago, that its success
should have been almost instantaneous.
In fact, there is no other cartonned trans
parent soap on the market today which
equals it in size of cake or in quality.
This unusual soap is blending Of
purest vegetable oils and is unrivaled
for the Toilet, Bath or Shampoo.
Because it fathers freely and cleanses
instantly, it is more economical to use.
It is a soap made for specific purpose,
that of cleansing the skin, and it fathers
as freely in the hardest water found in
the West as in soft water in the East.
We heartily recommend Jap Rose and
believe that it can be purchased from
most druggists and grocers in this city.
