Home Face Feeling Becomes Popular
(From Fashion Reporterl

No complexion treatment yet discoy- cred seems to have become so general ly and so immediately popular as, the mercolized wax process, Evidently the reason for this is that this method actually gets rid Of a bad complexion, which can hardly De said of any other To temporarily hide or bleach the de- fective skin with cosmetics, cannot compare with the effect of literally re- moving the skin itself, Msrcolized wax takes off the offending surface skin in fiour-like particles. a little at a time, until there's none of it left, The new complexion thus produced exhibits a healthy glow and girlish beauty ob- taiHable in ne other way. This wax, which you can get at your druggists, is applied at night in the same way you use cold cream, and washed of next morning.
 Here is the eniy thing I know of that actually does remove wrinkles, re- move them, quickly, and at trifiing cost. Powdered saxelite, ez., dissolved in H pt. witch hazel. Use as a face bath.

day. Why do the people submit to the rule of the Mormon leaders and to the evils of polygamy? The Mormon cannot leave his faith for he Is boy cotted, cut off by his relatives and friends and driven from the commun- ity. Another thing which keeps polyg- amy in existence Is the teaching that no woman can enjoy the after life save she be called by her husband, and hence her self -abasement. Many in telligent Mormons who do not believe in their doctrines way down in their hearts, yet continue as Mormons, be- cause an admission of the evil of polygamy credits their parents with life of shame
 The government has failed to down Mormonism and polygamy. There is but one thing which can do it and that is Christianity, and thus the matter is up to you and me as Christians to settle.
 The final speaker was J. M. Young, who talked on Mormonism as a life and it's effect on morals. His remarks were somewhat of a humorous nature and proved most interesting.

FREIGHT BUSINESS GROWING. Faster Deliveries Expected Here by
 Improvements to Be Made.

An increase in local business during the past year is apparent from the fact that freight handled at local office of the New oYrk, New Haven and Hart ford railroad exceeds that of the pre- vious year by 2S,0O0,000 pounds. A year ago the amount was 66,000, 900, and this year it is S9,000,O00 pounds. The large amount of business and lack of room for handling freight has caus- ed some delays in delivery in the past, but it is expected that this trouble will be remedied by the addition which is to be made on the receiving side of the freight house, which will double the capacity of this department. The track will be moved over to the edge of the river and the platform will be erected where the tracks now lie.
 In the past it has been possible to have but eighteen cars on the line for unloading, while oftentimes there were fifty waiting to be unloaded.

Wednesday the bridge dropped in the center. It had shown weakness there by sagging before the repairs were be- gun.
 The selectmen had realized that the bridge was in bad shape, but just how bad they did not know. This they ex- pected to ascertain by examination as the repairs were carried along. The weakness shown now, is was stated Wednesday night, might indicate that a substantial rebuilding of the bridge was necessary.
 When the water is low, on Satur day, a thorough examination can be made to determine just what will be required to put the bridge into safe condition again.

RATES
 FOR FREIGHT

Beginning with August first all the steamship companies ex cept the Humboldt Go. have de- cided to raise their freight rates from three to five dollars per ton between Seattle and Ketch
 kan, The reason for the raise is given as the increase in the cost of labor both longshore- men and sailors. The fact that owing to recent ruling of the Court to the effect that the Interstate Commerce Commission has jurisdiction ov CT transportation in Alaska, does not enter into the quest ion further than that the com- )anies have to be registered with the Commission and send
 n their schedule of rates.

ROSENrHal MURDER

It has been & well known fact
 among those who have had an Opportunity to sake a glance up
 on the inside workings of any of our great police systems
 that they are all nosoriouSly cor rups. We venture 10 make the assertion that there lS hardly .a police force m the country,
 but that gets its rake off from
 most of the evil and corrupt ion which constitute the open
 sores of the nations life and which gather and break in our large cities. 'TiS true that at times there are periodic >pasm .of morality, which turn the
 searchlight of public opinion upon this practice and eompell the authorities 10 screw the lid down temporarily upon the
 more open and fragrant vices, until the patient public iS again .lulled to sleep by semblence Of decsncv. But for the mos; part s percentage system or regular stipulated sum Is paid
 for protection by the denizens Of the under world.
 While the above general practice Is known 10 exist. it is with 8 new disregard for the public welfare that the author .itIes n New Works police sys- tenn have even stopped 10 open crime to perpetrate such 8 ne tarious business. Ne read of the indictment Of Lieu.enent Becker with 6 shudier when We realize something of the reeking rOtteneSS Of 8 system Of public protection that must stoop to murder to cover it's ey- Il practices. But out of these great public awakeninss there will eventually be evolved sys tenn that may perchance take on somewhat more Of semb- lance of responsibility.

MCKENZIE HAS PET SHARK

Yesterday while lifting the Perry Jinkins trap the crew of the Little Glory found a huge ii foot shark. The creature was too large to lift over the side of the vessel with any tackle that was on board. At first it was decided to kill the animal, but Angus McKinzie made such an eloquent plea for its life that it was finally turn ed over to his keeping. He .roped it and tied it to one of the piling. After the rush was over Angus took to pedling the "bull' to his catch and now the shark has become a regular pet 1t is said by men in a position to know that the creature eats from Angus hand and follows him around like a little lamb. Angus was around town last night trying to buy collar for the beast. The latter answers to the name of "Jake."
