STILL COUNTING
STnIKE BALLOTS

San Francisco, July 29-Whether
or not a strike shall be declared
against the Southern Pacific COM
pany or not by the Brotherhood Of
Railway Trainmen and the Order
OF Railroad Conductors, is being
decided here today. by a canvas Of
the strike vote completed last week
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Ca
madam boundary.
The result probably will not be
known for 2i or 46 hours.
The question at issue is whether
suburban trainmen and conductors
shall receive equal rating pay and
promotion with main line en-
pIOyas. The company wishes to Sc
gregate Its electric lines and the
men maintain that to do SO would
put them at a disadvantage ny de-
priying one class of employees Of
the power Of the support of their
consolidated orders.

A Moroccan Charm.

Moroccan wives have n most elabo
rate recipe for winning back the afrec-
lions of IN unfaithfuI husband. First.
the deserted or suspicious wife draws
a straight line in pure honey from the
middle OF her forehead down to her
chin and collects the drippings in a
spoon. Then she rubs the tip Of her
tongue with n fig leaf till 1t bleeds
and soaks seven grains Of salt in the
hIoOd. This she mixes with the honey,
adds more salt which has been carried
FOR Il day and night in a tiny Incl
sion in the skin between her eyebrows
and finally adds pinch Of earth from
the print of her bare right foot on the
ground. The dose is then put into the
erring husbands food and. according
To Moroccan tradition. never fails to
restore him to his allegiance.

pect to do as did Major McClaughry
on the day previous.
This does not mean, however, that
changes will not be made, but Just
what they will be I do not know. 1t

true conditions before any action can
be taken. I will first have to famil-

pare before any action can possibly be

FOR BABY'S SAKE
Child Born to Italian Couple in
Sleeper in June, 1908.
Mother and Children Held in
Italy to Prove Citizenship.

Coffeyville, Kan, June lion Fri
day, June 26, 1908, in a race between
the Missouri Pacific and the stork,
with ArGenta, Ark, as the destination,
the stork won and a baby girl was
born on the train at Independence to
Mrs. A. v. Pollok, the American wife
of an italian shoestring vender, who
was on her way from Lincoln, Neb.,
to Argenta, the home of her mother.
She was accompanied by her first child
about two years old.
The babe was named Chelsea Eliza
beth Pollok, Chelsea" being the name
of the sleeping car in which she was
born. The mother had had money to
buy a sleeping car ticket from Kansas
City to Cofeyville.
The incident of the child's birth was
forgotten here until a one-legged Ital-
ian shoe string vender appeared on
the streets again with his wares He
was A. V. Pollok of Little Rock, Ark
the father of Chelsea.
Pollok appeared at the city clerk S
Office to get a certificate of Chelsea
birth. His wife and two children went
to Italy a few months ago to look after
a small estate which he had there, but
afterwards they found had dwindled
to almost nothing owing to the statute
of limitations When they got ready to
come home, they encountered difficult
ties in getting passports and meeting
other travelling regulations. He now
must get the proof that his wife and
babies are American citizens. His eff
forts to get proof of Chelsea's birth
is one of the steps. The other child
was born at Tulsa, and the mother at
Little Rock and he must go to these
places and get certificates and seno
them to Italy before they can start on
the homeward journey.
AS no record of births was kept in
Kansas prior to July, 1911, he ran
against an obstacle here but he found
a friend in need in Henry Deichler,
city clerk. DR.. Duncan is in the east
and could not be had to make out
birth certificate for Chelsea. Mr..
Deichler prepared a statement of the
childs birth, which Mrs. Fannie Will
liams signed. Below Mrs. Williams
statement is one from MIR. Deichler,
explaining why there is no record here
of the chiId'S birth. This, it is be-
lieved, will satisfy the italian authort-
ties, as well as the United States imm1-
grafton officials of the child's Amerf-
can citizenship.

NORTON WHEAT Is GOOD.
Corn Crop and Small Fruit Prospects
Fine.

Norton, Kan, June 1.-THE condi-
ton of the wheat crop in Norton
county will turn out a great yield on
the average. It is true that the wheat
is spotted and even in the good locali-
ties occasionally one finds a poor
stand and on the other hand in the
poor localities one finds a good stand.
Running an imaginary line through
Norton county, north and south, in
tersecting the city of Norton, the crop
east will average about 80 per cent,
while west of Norton the crop will
average better than so per cent. All
the wheat in the county will probably
be good enough to pay the owner for
cutting and harvesting.
Corn prospects are good and the
small grain prospects are fine. The
stock pastures are in better condition
everywhere than they have been for
twenty years.
The first cutting of alfalfa in the
county is now about over and everyone
declares it averages nearly one-fourth
heavier than in former years.
Small fruits are ripening all over
the county and yields are good, well
up to the average, Notwithstanding the
late frosts and the cool weather.

Two Beauty Suggestions
for Summer Months
(The Beauty Doctor

Instead of pore-clogging powders, creams
and rouge, make up at home and keep on
your dresser for frequent use this simple
lotion: Dissolve four ounces of spurmaX
in p pint witch hazel (or hot water), add
two teaspoonfuls glycerine and allow to
cool. Clear, small-pored, velvety skin
with the exquisite tint of youthful health
results from it's regular application, while
pimpIes, freckles, tan and sunburn give no
further trouble.
Quickly, yet gently, remove every par
ticie of dust, dandruf and excess oil from
the hair and leave it evenly dried, soft,
glossy and easy to do up by a canthrox
shampoo. 1t will stimulate the roots, thus
resulting in exceptional growth of heavy
hair. To make this exquisite and economi-
cal shampoo, just dissolve a teaspoonful
of canthrox in a teacup of hot water
