that, for the first time in history, lows

ate in place of Kenyon.
In Kansas. Judge William T. Thomp-
son. democrat. is scheduled to defeat
Governor Stubbs, the Mooseite and
one of the sseven wise or otherwise
governors who urged the colonel to
become candidate. Governor Stubbs,
who is multi-millionaire, won the
republican nomination over Senator
Curtis on fluke. Mr.. Curtis had the
popular majority but failed to carry as
many legislative districts as did his
opponent, hence Stubbs was declared
the nominee. The regulars are intense
ly bitter against him and are opening
fighting for Judge Thompson.
Two senators will be elected in Illi-
nois, one to succeed Senator Cullom
and the other to fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the ousting of Senator Lorimer.
James Hamilton Lewis is the demo
cratic candidate and L. Y Sherman
the republican nominee. Lorimer was
not removed from the senate until
after the primaries had been held and,
accordingly, there have been no nomi-
nations made for the short term. I'm
der the minority representation plan
which prevails in Illinois, the demo-
Gratis have not made fight for the
legislature in nearly twenty years.
This year they have named suffi-
cient number of candidates to enable
them to control the lower house with
a large enough majority to overcome
the probable republican majority in
the senate. Progressive party candi-
dates have been named in about 70
per cent of the districts and political
experts figure that because of this the
democrats can control the legislature
by narrow margin and elect at least
one democrat and probably two.
New Jersey, with Representative
William Hughes as the democratic
is regarded as practically as
sured of a democratic legislature. Mr..
bearing the stamp of APPROX
al of Governor Wilson, defeated Boss"
Jim Smith by a handsome majority in
the recent primaries and his election
in the face of divided opposition is
expected.
In addition to these states the dem
ocrats have an excellent opportunity
of carrying Delaware and perhaps
on their senatorial
ticket They also have fighting
chances in South Dakota, Idaho and
and theprospects are even
good in Michigan.
Out of all this it seems certain that
the democrats will be able to elect
more than enough to have clear ma
iority in the upper house and thus
both branches of congress will be in
and harmony with Cover
nor Wilson when he enters the White
House on the 4th of March.

Taft has lost tS,O63 votes to the
Third Termer and 1922 to Wilson.
Roosevelt has also secured SOB So

The poll indicates that Utah is the
only state in which Taft has a fair
chance of winning California, Ari-

The Herald states in it's review that
Governor Wilson is still well in the

Mexican Herald: Five textile operatives who were brought from Puebla have been placed in new positions by the bureau of labor of the department of fomento. The bureau agreed to obtain new jobs for the men on the condition that they promise not to return to Puebla. The operatives are charged with being agitators.
 Mexican Herald: Reports from Veracruz state that on account of the congestion of heavy shipments of merchandise through that port and the delay of the merchants in passing their goods though the customs house that goods to the value of three and half millions of pesos are now stored in the government warehouses.
 Mexican Herald: The depart ment of communications and pub lie works is considering proposals for the completion of the national theater. It is expected that work will be resumed within a short time, as the three contracts have been studied and it is expected that decision in the matter will be reached in a few days.
 Mexican Herald: Juan Banderas will obtain his freedom as the re- suit of an amparo granted by the trial judge. He will be released when the supreme court has re- viewed the finding. Banderas was a revolutionary leader in Sinaloa, and was brought to this city for trial ou charges pertaining to al- legged acts while in the field.
 Mexican Herald: A new gana, deria of fighting bulls to be known as "San Mateo" will be established in this country. Through the efforts of Bombita, the Marquis oi Saltillo was persuaded to sell two bulls and ten cows for export tc this country for breeding purposes Owners of famous Spanish fighting strains rarely will sell their stock except for corridas.
 Mexican Herald: The police art doing busy trade in pantaloon' at fifty cents pair and the fruit vendors and vegetable men who have been accustomed to the flow ing cotton garments are being lee to the comisarias and made tt enter into a little business transac ton. One teston is exchanged fol pair of trousers, although the fl not always is guaranteed.

The purpose of the force on the coast is said to be the introduction of arms and ammunition in pre- paraticn for an uprising in greater strength than has yet taken place in the north. No official news of Almazan has been made public for several weeks.
 Mexican Herald Reports as to whether or not Benito Candles, leader of the rebels operating in Guanajuato and Michoacan has has been killed or captured, seem to be conflicting. Advices to the department of gobernacion two days ago stated that the rebel leader had been captured and yes- terday it was reported that there was a rumor to the effect that he had been killed. The last of these rumors comes from the governor of Guanajuato and in the same re- port it is stated that an investiga- tion will be started to ascertain whether or no the report is true.
 Mexican Herald: Plans to form new state made up of the Tecan- huitz and Tamasunchale districts of San Luis Potosi, the Tantoyuca district of Veracruz and the entire mountain region of Hidalgo is said to have been discussed at a con- gress which was held in the noun tains of Hidalgo last week. The purpose of the congress was to unite for the welfare of that dis trict in all possible ways and it is stated that this question was dis. cussed. The proposition is not 8 new one although it never reached any advanced stage. At the present time it is believed improbable that anything will come of it. In spite of this it may give rise t(

Loose Flesh Beneath the Chin.
When a person is naturally stout and

However. if the flesh under the chin Is
soft and loose persistent treatment will
make it firmer.
To about four ounces of alcohol add
half teaspoonful of powdered alum.
The chin should be bandaged with cot
ton or soft cloths. wet with this soiu-
ton several times daily. As little
warm water as possible should be
used on q soft chin, and whenever 1t
Is used plenty of cold applications

many girls and women have loose,

er the following directions the extreme
cold will be prevented from coming in
contact with the skin, and only the
cooled air will be felt:
Make a bag Of two thicknesses OF
flannel the desired size. then a bag Of
oiled silk to fit over the flannel one;
then hll the flannel bag with cracked
ice and close it by tying or any other
convenient way. Lay the little bag
with the oiled skin next to the flesh
and bandage on firmly to hold in place.
The cold air will penetrate the flesh
without the severe icy feeling. The
flannel is responsible for this. while
the oiled silk prevents the clothing
from becoming wet. Although the ice
will keep for some time in the little
bags II made as directed, they may be
changed and reilled frequently if de-
