"Tess of the Storm Country

A petite CurliloCks who can say the most entrancing unladylike words In q most enchanting manner without offend- ing the most Puritanical conscience and a series of picturesque scene shftings are the features of this weeks offering -'Tess of the storm Country"-at the Biou. The supporting company for the background to the leading lady is to be utterly con- demnod This play Is q dramatizatlon or fhe novel of the same name by Grace Miller White and the story Is well retained

 The character of Tess-or rather Tessi- bel-a refreshing and genuine diamond in the rough bit of d girl who has never known any life but that of the mountain country of upper New York state and her civilization is the theme of the four acts. The fact that her father was arrested and imprisoned for killing the fish warden on the estate of the wealthy Elias Graves, that she protected the daughter of this man by assuming the motherhood of a n ysterions child and that she took kindly to the only chances of better living put in her way, all served to bring out the unselhshness, loyalty. natuial goodness and hghting qualities latent within her makeup.
 The first act introduces the young Dlln- ister. Frederick Graves, son of the owner of tbe land upon which Tess and her father. Oron Skinner. lives as 'squatters.' It. marks the departure of Skinner for jail, as well as the first possession of a Bible by Tess. who received .his from Frederick as a comfort in her hour of distress ar parting from her only pal ent.

 "I think Mr. Hitchcock is trying to change the subject and draw attention from MT. Taft and the coming election, '" said Representative Adamson of Georgia, chairman of the committee on interstate commerce.
 Senator Stone of Missouri, who has been much opposed to government ownership of railroads. said
 'I can see more good reasons why the government should own the telegraph than why it should own the railroads. '
 Progressive leaders in the House favored government purchase of telegraph lines under proper safeguards.
 T am inclined to be in favor of the proposal said Representative Norris of Nebraska.

MackeY Pessimistic

New York, January 15.-Clarence H. Mackey, president of the Postal Tele- graph company, declared today that if the government took over the telegraph lines of the country as desired by Post master General Hitchcock, he believed the investment would be unprohtable He said cost would be enormous and he did not believe the plan would be car red out as long as there was eompeti- ton in the telegraph business.
 "The step would lead to taking over the telephone lines also" said MT. Mac key.
 "The British government found this to be so, and two weeks ago it took over the telephone lines in England at an telephone lines in the United States are worth from S2,00o, 100000 to S3,0000O0,00o This would include the independent tele- phone companies owning nearly S500,- 0O0,000 of property and having some 4o,Oo0 stock holders. l venture to say that they would be operated by the government at great annual loss, just as in Great Brit ain, where the losses on the telegraphs alone up to date are figured at $l75,0O0,- GOO. Moreover, the government would then be employing hundreds of thou- sands of clerks, telephone girls telegraph or erators managers, etc. It would be colossal political machine
 q have reasons for saying that talk ing over the telegraph lines would mean also taking over the telephone lines Are you aware of what is going on at this very time? Western Union offices are being closed by the Bell Telephone company and the telegraph service in- corporated with the telephone, service The auditor of the Western Union re- gently announced that 15O or such Western Union offices have been treat ~f. F.. .lf ratt llF rff cities as Augusta, Me, the capitol of the state. If this keeps on. the Vest ern Union win disappear as a separate concern. Then there will be but one real telegraph company-the Postal
 "relephone managers will control the Western Union Telegraph business. That will mean bad telegraph service by the Western Union. Competition between the telegraph and long dis tance telephone is eliminated so far as the Western Union and Bell telephone are concerned. Whether all tliis is legal, and whether the public will stand it remains to be seen There is an other thing. When governments buy large properties they generally pay ex- orbitant prices, just as when a city buys land for park. The English government paid out enormous sums for the telegraph lines and then found to its surprise that 1t had to settle with the railroads with which the telegraph companies had contracts l happen to know that this disturbed the govern : ment very much. but the government was in for it and had to carry il through-always at the expense of the taxpayers. The Western Union has thousands of contracts with railroads in this country and if the government should take over the telegraph lines il would have Co settle for these also
 "On the whole. I guess the American government will not buy the telegraph lines so long as the Postal keeps up competition.
 .'The Postal lines are not for sale.

 The speaker was a well dressed young man who staggered up to the front entrance of the Johns Undertaking company on Second avenue last nigh t shortly after l 2 o'clock.

 Johns ambulance was right at hand and the man was rushed to the Hillman hospital. From reports given out at the Hillman he was unsuccessful in his attempt at suicide as 1t was stated that he was expected to recover.
 A good recommendation was found in the young mans pocket, pointing out that he was stenographer. He was well dressed and gave no cause for his act. His name could not be verified last night and nothing concern ing his past life could be learned.

troubled with constipation, and have tried many remedies all of which seemed 10 cause pain without giving much relief. I finally tried Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets and found them ex- cellent. Their action is pleasant and mild, and their chocolate taste makes them easy to take. 1 am more than glad to recommend them"
 Clean up the bowels and keep them clean," is the advice of all physicians, because they realize the danger resulting from habitual con stipation. Do not delay too long. but begin proper curative measures.
 Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets are nc~ remedy for this old complaint, and great improvement over the cathartics you have been using in the past. They taste like candy and work like charm. A trial will convince you.
 Dr. Miles Laxative Tablets are sold by all druggists, at 2s cents a box containing 25 doses. If not found satisfactory after trial, re- turn the box to your druggist and he will return your money. s MILES MEDICAL CO, EIkhart, lrd.

 The following are the officers of the exchange for 1912:
 President. John N. Slbley: first vice president, l.. A. Lockhart; second vice president, W. " snead; treasurer J. Il. Eddy; executive committeeman, W. A currie and R. L Ingals.
 Directors Frank II. Conner, W. Thornton Estes, Charles W. Hall. R. N. Hall and c. F. Thomas. The incum- bents for the offices of president and treasurer were the unanimous choice of the two nominating committees and they have just completed one term of Jurisdiction most creditably. The of ficial ballot contained two states pre- pared and posted some days ago by two nominating committees composed of three members each, named by the chair and exchange, respectively.
 The race for the offices of first and second vice president was perhaps the closest with P. E. Bostick and Allen :. Krebs as the opponents of the officers chosen.
 The reports of the secretary, C. T. Stafford, showed a most prosperous out look for the ensuing months under the new regime and that the growth of the exchange for the past 10 months since it's organization has been emiu- ently satisfactory, fulfilling the purpose for which it was established.
