built up the evidence around the Nc
Namara dynamiters, has been at work

the junior senator from Illinois.
Mr.. Burns was employed for about a
month by the senate committee, and
later was engaged by the interests
fighting to unseat Senator Lorimer.

by the anti-Lorimer interests is the
impeachment of certain witness who
gave evidence in Senator Lorimer's

ment of C. F. Wiehe, a brother-in-law
of Edward Hines, that Jackpot"
fund of 100000 was used ito put

RAPs RECALL OF JUDICIARY
New York Senator Defends Both State
and Federal Courts in
Speech.

New York.-Senator Elihu Root Ia
an address here before the New York
State Bar association stanchly de-
Tended both the state and federal
courts of the country and denounced
the principle underlying the recall OF
judges.
Senator Root, speaking Of the in
creasing tendency among Americans
toward impatience with the courts
whenever judicial decisions do not
agree with their wishes, said the pro-
visions for the recall OF judges adopt
ed in some states and widely advo-
Gated in others are an exhibition OF
this Impotence and demand for
more unchecked opportunity to make
the judges feel its effects. With these
tendencies the speaker declared he
had no sympathy.

The statement of Health Commits
sioner Lederle of New York that dill
gent investigation for many years has
failed to trace a single case of typhoid
fever in that city to the eating Of
oysters will be hailed with delight by
lovers of the king of bivalves in the
condition in which he comes from the
briny deep. The oyster is good fried.
and excellent in a stew when not
cooked-as he often Is, however-so
long as to make him leathery. But
there are many who maintain that it
is pity to cook oysters, because
they are so palatable in the raw state,
and so easily digestible. Yet In many
instances these epicures have feared
to eat oysters raw because Of the
widespread depreciation of the oyster
as cause of typhoid fever. They Will
Lrejoice at Doctor Lederle's report.

IOWA HEROINE DIES
KATE SHELLY CRAWLED OVER
BIG BRIDGE IN TEMPEST TO
STOP TRAIN.
STATE GIVES HER GOLD MEDAL
Woman, Famous for Daring Deed
When But IS Years Old, Succumbs
to Briaht's Disease Following OPP
Grafton for Appendicitis.

Boone, Ia-Miss Kate Shelly, IoWa's
heroine who in 1881 at great personal
risk. saved a passenger train from be-
ing wrecked, is dead at the age or
forty-five years at her home near
scene of her heroic deed.
Miss Shelly had suffered greatly
since last summer, when an operation
for appendicitis was followed by an
attack of Bright's disease, but she
was as brave in the face of death as
when she won renown.
The deed which placed Kate Shell
ly's name in the list of heroines was
bright example of the courage or
fifteen-year-old girl who believed she
was saving the lives of hundreds OF
the passengers on a limited train on
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
although, later developments proved
the number Of lives she actually saved
was two.
PASSENGERS on the limited at once
made up a purse for the brave girl
and railroad men undertook to raise
contributions in recognition OF ner
heroism. Appeals of the press to the
public for similar contributions failed
to bring a hearty response because
Northwestern railroad officials at once
called attention to the fact that the
limited train had not been endangered
and by issuing statement that Miss
Shelly would be amply rewarded.
AS matter of fact. the locomotive
had been sent out to see that the
bridge was safe and the limited train
would not have proceeded beyond
Moingona until the engine crew had
reported from the next station. But
this did not minimize the hero1sm OF
the girls act, and short time later
the Iowa legislature passed an act
awarding Miss Shelly gold medal.
Soon after Miss Shelly was made
station agent of the railroad at Moin-
coma, a position she held for years.

the statement Of Mr.. Curtain. presi-
Of the United BARRIERS association of
America. And, as chief OF American
tonsorial artists, he ought to be an
authority on the subject. 1t is really
sad the way things are disappearing
in this progressive century Of ours.
AS fast as we increase the record in
one direction it persists in getting
shortened in another. Modern prog
ress seems to resemble a tube filled
with marbles; whenever a fresh mar
BILE is pushed in at one end another is
forced out at the opposite. There are
many things we could spare better
than the ginger-headed masculine or
the girl with the Titian-bronze. Gin

for beauty, and beauty and pluck
have always been leading features of
the American people. Yet for some

surely disappearing. according to the
careful investigation of Chief Barber
Curtain. Perhaps in time our red
haired citizens will have to be cor
rallied and protected by government as
are our nearly extinct buffaioes. But
as other specialists tell us that in an
other hundred years the. whole hui
man race will be bald, we are hardly
justified in putting the already over

The blackness of London fogs is
due in a large degree to the quantity
of soft coal smoke which they contain,
and therefore abatement of the Lon
don fog goes hand in hand with the
reduction of the smoke nuisance in
the British metropolis. The Interna-
tional Smoke Abatement exhibition In
London next month will lay stress on
the advantages of the fireless cooker.
A London authority declares that
since the present anti-smoke nuisance
movement in London began, the aver
age number of dense fogs there has
decreased by over 60 per cent, while
the average amount of winter sun
shine in. the metropolis has increased
by fifty per cent. He believes that If
the general public can be induced to
take the matter seriously, the Lon
don peasoup fog will be abolished.
