These tariff debstes offer splendid
opportunities for the making or MAJ
riAg of political repststions. To ny
mind, many men on both sides have
added to their lsurels. bat one fgars
looms far above ell the rest.
Il think it wss Paul Jones Who
used to boast that he Wss captain Of
his ship by virtue Of the fact he was
the best man aboard the ship. So
Oscar w. Underwood Of Alabsma
might say that he is the leader Of
the Democratic majority by virtue Of
the fact that tempermentally and in
tellectually he is without peer in
the House, with the possible exoep-
ton of the beloved Speaker.
AT this supreme moment Of its
national opportunity, the Democracy
is blessed in its leadership WILSON,
Bryan, Clark and Underwood have
apparently put aside all thoughts Of
self aggrsndizement and of the diff.
ference which has divided them in
the past and are working shouldei
to shoulder for the redemption ol
Democratic platform pledges.

Many Democrats urged that he
give the Republicans at least q dilu-
ted dose Of their own medicine, and
that some time limit be placed on
amendments and debates.
Speaker CLARK and Leader Under

and patiently bore the verbal as

The wisdom Of this course was
amply vindicsted, when, toward the

but Whitman refused the apology and
said he would issue warrants for all
police involved.
News Of the nightly excitement at
Healy's spread through the city yes
terday and by midnight a huge crowd
of the curious had flocked to the
place. Three hundred men and wo-
men, all Of the so-called better class,
were inside while crowd stood
around outside.
A few minutes before 1 a. m. a
plain-clOthes policeman entered the
place and in sing-song voice told
the diners they would have to be out
by 1 O'Clock.
When the police first appeared,
District Attorney Whitman stepped
from Healy's private office and was
greeted with a cheer by the diners
who recognized him. He took seat
and remained like an ordinary diner
until the blond policeman laid hands
on him, then he shouted:
'Take all the police numbers you
can get and obtain warrants for these
men,"
cit is sometimes hard to get war

GARMENT WORKERS, NOTICE
HERE'S A BULLY STYLE HINT
Well, while the shocked but very
pure people are fretting their giz-
yards about the tango thing, garment
manufacturers are changing styles in
women's dresses so they can do all
the necessary tango stretching.
We have a style suggestion to
make. Here it is, garment makers:
Make a two-piece skirt that butt
tons down both front and back, clear
from the waist And then
The wearer can make it a dress
or pair Of pants.
A dress by bUttoning the button
holes on the front side to the but
tons, on the front side.
And by buttoning the buttonholes>
on the front side to the buttons on
the hind side-say around the right
leg-and the bUttonhOles on the back
to the buttons on the front-say
around the left leg-this would re-
suit In buttOning each half Of the
divided skirt around a leg, and the
pants effect would be obtained.
This would make a very con-
venient garment. It could be used
for riding habit, a street skirt or
almost any old thing the fancy Of the
lady inside might suggest.
There is no patent on this. Any
garment manufacturer has our per-
mission to go to it, and put it on the
market as fast as he can sell it.

NEW YEARS FIRE.

Early wednesday morning of this
week the Ellinwood Fire Department
received a phone call from st. Peters
& Paul church, north Of that city,
telling them that the new residence
just being finished for the Sisters Of
the parochial school at that place
was on fire and asking for assistance.
The department Immediately secured
an automobile and taking part of
their equipment, hurried out to the
place, but before their arrival the
blaze had been extinguished, but not
before considerable damage had been
done to the building. 1t is reported
that the carpenters who were doing
the finishing work on the house had
built up big fire in the furnace and
had then left the building for time,
and the heat became so great that
the hot air pipes which run through
the floor had ignited that part OF
the structure. Joe Kimpler, who
lives close by, seeing the smoke,
hurried to the building with some fir,
extinguishers and breaking in a
window succeeded in getting the
flames subdued and then chopped a
hole through the floors and put out
the blaze there. Had it not been fol
his quick work the entire building
would have probably been destroyed
The chief damage was to the lowel
floor and will probably amount to q
couple Of hundred dollars.

SAM HILL FOR U. S. MARSHAL.

S. P. Hill, one of the well known
residents of Pawnee Rock, but bet
ter known as plain old Sam Hill, is a
candidate for the appointment of Dep
uty U. S. Marshal for the, Wichita dis
trict, and his candidacy seems to be
meeting with much favor all over this
part of the state. Sam has been
loyal party worker for 10, these many
years, and as he has never asked for
anything before, he feels that it is
not amiss that he line up at the coun'
ter with the rest of the boys and get
a whack at the political patronage
which is to be bestowed. He has a
bunch of fine recommendations from
men of the higher political circles
from all parts Of the state and it
looks like he had a mighty good
chance of landing the job. If he
does there is no question but what he
will handle the affairs of the office
in a manner which will be satisfac-
,ory to all the people and will make
good in a proper manner. Here's hop
ing that he lands.

FAMILY POISONED.

Hutchinson, Dec. 27.-From a mer-
ry family party, the home Of ]. H.
Stevens. no Eighth avenue east, was
converted into a hospital last night
in short order.
There has been a family reunion at
the Stevens home this week, over
Christmas. Some of the relatives and
guests had gone home yesterday, but
those who remained came down town
last evening, attended the theater,
and on returning home had a chill
supper.
The chill was made at home and it
is supposed that the meat used was
infected. There were eight people
participating in the little family gath
ering, but only six of them partook o.
the chill.
MIS-. stevens and Mrs. I. Z. JOnn-
son of Hoisington, one of the guests,
did not eat the chill, laughingly re-
marking that they would wait on the
tables and do the serving.
They were the only ones who es-
capped. All Of the other six were soon
rendered very sick. DR.. W. F.
Schoor, who was hastily summoned,
worked nearly all night with the suf-
fering members Of the family. He
found every evidence of ptomaine
poisoning.
These who were stricken were Mrs.
Culver of Nickerson, her little son,
the two sons and daughters of Mrs.
&c. c. Johnson of Hoisington and Mr..

the government is to prosecute all Of
tenders, high or low, great or small. "
Leavenworth, Kas. Jan. 1.-The 80
union officials sentenced at Indian
apolis for completely in the McNa-
mara dynamite plots arrived at the
federal prison here at 7:15 a. m. to-
day. The were Immediately photo
graphed, dressed in penitentiary
clothes and formally enrolled as con-
victs.
As Frank NJ. Ryan, president cf the
Iron Workers International union,
who was sentenced to seven years,
Olaf A. Tveitmore, the Pacific coast
labor leader; Herbert Hockin, John
7. Butler and others who received
sentences varying from six years to
one year and one day, stepped from
the special train which brought them
from Indianapolis they were taken in
charge by the prison authorities.
New Years day thus found the 80
labor leaders beginning in the federal
penitentiary here punishments for
their conviction of crimes for which
the Mcnamara brothers, confessed
dynamiters, are serving terms in the
state penitentiary at San Quentin,
Calf.
Rushed from the scene of the his
toric trial at Indianapolis in a special
train which was barricaded and under
guard, the prisoners were taken BY
rail directly into the prison grounds.
Their first view of the interior was
from the windows of the train.
Within an hour after the arrival each
prisoner had been subjected TO a hair
cut and had been garbed in the pris-
on uniform. On account of its being a
holiday, the details of assigning the
men to work was delayed until to-
morrow. Most of the new prisoners
are workers and it is believed the
warden is to put them on the con-
struction of buildings.
Tveitmoe, who is secretary of the
California Building Trades council. is
the only one of the convicted men
not affiliated with the Iron Workers
union and it is expected he will be
given clerical work. Ryan, president
Of the Iron Workers union, may be
given similar work because of his
age and his apparently collapsed con-
dition.
1t was a memorable trip that
brought the prisoners over the $50
miles from Indianapolis on New
Years Eve. Once started, United
States Marshal Edward Schmidt, in
charge of the prisoners, decided not
to reach Leavenworth before daylight
so that almost 20 hours we're passed
on the train. All the curtains in
the coach we're drawn and no one wal
permitted to give out at the railroad
, aboard. The trip across Indiana. Hi
nois, Missouri and into Kansas was
have b'a1 kept secret, but at ever
, station owds greeted the trail
known as the dynamite special,
. and cheers and singing at midnigh
, showed the disposition Of the prison
, ers toward a New Year which TO
Z them was to begin with imprison
, ment.
