WHEN "PIGS is PIGS"
UP TO COMMERCE BODY

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 30.-
Pigs is Pigs" the comic tale recent
ly popular, was vividiy before the in
terstate commerce commission and
representatives Of express companies
when the commission today opened
hearings on new rules proposed, regu-
lating packing and shipping of a
widely miscellaneous list of merchan-
disc.
How to ship guinea pigs was one
of the questions before the commits
sion. Hasty transport of the animals
is an imperative rule of the express
companies.
Other questions involved in the
hearings were:
Maximum weight limit for ship
ments of mice; standardizing value OF
opossums; how to pack duck eggs
protection of live crabs in shipment
and treatment of shrimps edible va
riety).
Regulations for shipping moving
picture films were also before the
commission.

COSTIGAN MADE NO HIT.

Mr.. Costigan visited Prowers coun-
ty last week and decided the atmo-
sphere down here was too chilly for
him and left in no very amiable
frame of mind. At Holly he ran
against the baseball bulletins which
drew crowd while he had half
dozen, but at Lamar he had full
chance with no counter attractions
and yet if it had not been for the
management of the Republican and
Democratic campaigns going up to
see what kind of a demonstration
was being made there would not have
been over a dozen out here. With
the exception of vaudeville stunt of
Mrs. Riddle there was nothing to have
drawn anyone. She really put on a
show that would draw some on the
Orpheum circuit, but is hardly what
the people want at the state house.

SUFFRAGISTs TO DECIDE
QUESTION OF MILITANC1

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-Whether mill
tant political methods were to be
adopted by Illinois suffragists was
the big subject to be decided when
the annual three-day convention Of
the Illinois Equal Suffrage associa-
ton opened today in the Congress ho-
tel.
Opposition to the reelection Of
Mrs. Grace Trout as president de-
veloped several weeks ago and cen
tered about this one idea. Mrs
Trout's opponents declare she has moi
made the association the powerful
force In Illinois politics they expect
ed and accuse her Of being "too easy
going" One of their specific objec.
tions to her candidacy for recollection
is the fact that she did not press ths
fight to have women granted the righi
to vote for county commissioners.
The general topic Of the convention
was "How to utilize the ballot fol
the public good" Among the speak
ers during the three-day session vii
be Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superin
tendent Of the Chicago schools; Mrs
Medill Mccormick, Mrs. Raymon,

PEOPLE WILL KNOW.

What's the use? Nobody knows"
How often have young men-and
men not so young-and some women
-deluded themselves into a false Sc
curity by the thought that nobody
knows 2"
But somebody does know-often
everybody knows.
No matter what our imperfections
may be, there are those who know
and what few know, the people will
know.
1t matters not what our aims and
aspirations may be, the people will
know sooner or later-vill always
know.
No mouth is SO close but that q
word is dropped here and there, and
when two and two are put together
brains will call it four.
The man who totteas on the brink
of dishonor must reconcile himself to
the fact that some will know-many
will know-eventually everybody will
know-and will judge as they know
The woman who perils her soul
must accept the world as her audience
for few people will know-and 9TH
ers will know-and then all will
know-and again will judge as they
know.
The churchman who bespatters his
cloak of religion is not immune. Peo-
pie know-know him-know his ways
know him for what he is-and
judge him as they know.
The man who swaggers through
life with pride in his wickedness is
also known-known by his deeds-by
his sins-by his lack of niorality-of
sense-and of brains. He, too, will
be judged as he is known.
No act is so small, no character
istic so infinitesimal, but that the
people will know-wilI always know.
And people will talk-some softly
Others noisily-wittp a shrug here
"a wink there-or a grin.
For the people will know-will al
ways know-and will Judge US by
what they know.
What's the use7 There's every
use.
Make it a good deed here, a word
Of kindness there, q helping hand to
the afflicted and the needy, for ev-
cry little act has its influence on
each and every one Of us.
And in this the people will know
will always know-and will Judge ua
as they know.
For people were born to know.

action in allowing the captive to 80
back to Aztec undoubtedly saved this
county at least 5000. That amount
is the usual cost of criminal case
where jury trial is had, as would
doubtless have happened in the case
Of Collier.
This is not a peculiar case, for
many parallel instances could be cited
in which the county has been saved
from unnecessary expense by Mr..
Fassbinder. The policy Of the sher-

is to save all unnecessary expenditure
of money consistent with proper

In the first place, says Rae, he has
observed that one extreme follows
another in weather conditions and
that these extremes were demonstrat-

summer of this year, which were re-
spectively the coldest and hottest for
many years. He also points out that
all fur-bearing animals have light
coat of fur, corn has light husks
there has been little moss on the
north side of trees, squirrels have
stored but little for the winter and
animals that hibernate during the
winter months have not burrowed
deep. A dozen other well known
signs, he says, arep resent in nature
this fall.
He also says the snow in the noun
tains is not so deep as usual at thii

In letter to Miss Georgia Clarke,
= member of the Denver Post band
confirms the news of the death of
Frank Kirbetz, one Of the boys who
furnished music here during the fair.
According to the account given the
details of his death are more grue-
some than first reported. About the
middle of the month Kirbetz and two
of his boy friends went to Leadville
on visit. On October 18th, his dead
body was found. Both legs and his
left arm had been taken off, and
there was large hole in his head.
There seemed little doubt but he had
been murdered, and that robbery was
the object of the heinous crime. When
he left home he carried fine gold
watch and quite large sum of money.
When found everything of value he
had on his person was missing. Kir-
betz will be remembered here as the
boy who played the snare drum. He
was brother of Louie Kirbetz, who
was also member Of the organiza-
ton. The letter states the band boys,
dressed in their uniforms, attended
