Lady Resents InsoIence Of Magazine

The indignities that ladies OF the
city suffer from some solicitors and

in local stores is illustrated by an in
cident reported to The Gate City by a
lady who does not wish her name

A magazine solicitor called at her

maid who answered for the lady OF
the house" On being informed that

down and could not see him he braz-
emily walked on through to the room

treat when the lady Indignantly re-

to call the police.
Such insolence on the part of some
solicitors is frequently reported but Ii
these kind OF men were made to get
out of the house as quickly as this
lady forced the solicitor out, the
trouble would socn be ended.

Washington radiating cheer among
democrats of the state ard inspiring
them with hope for next year. He is

that the republicans made a poor

Prouty viii Not Run Aoain.

WASHINGTON D. c., May IA re.
port in Des Moines that he would not
be a candidate for reelection next
year, was not denied by Represents
tive S. F. Prouty of the Des Moines
district, when he was told of it and
asked Of its CORRECTNESS. The con-
gresham said the boys were guess
ing little, but, upon being asked If
he had made a statement that he
would not be candidate for another
term, he replied, mo public state
ment."
A detail of this interesting piece Of
political gossip is that the Prouty
mantle is to fall upon the broad shout
ders of former State Senator Cassius
c. Dowell, with whom an understand
ing or working agreement, SO to speaa
was reached when Mr.. Dowell pulled
out of the race four years ago. Judge
Psouty had tried for SO long to beat
Capt. Hull, and he did want couple
of terms in congress. Now he has had
those two terms and is satisfied. A
short time ago the judge was discuss
ing life In Washington He remarked
that it was said Of him that he had
spent $4,000 to win the nominations.
and that now at times he felt that he
would sell the job for ten cents.
Judge Prouty has large business in
terests which include walnut lumber
yards and an immense rice plantation
in Arkansas and his service as con-
gresham, because of the time he is
compelled to spend away from his
business, is accompanied by no small
financial sacrifice.
