Whack High Cost of Living.

So he went down to the politicians
in his district and told them that he
thought the candidate they put up for
congress ought to agree to take a
whack at the high cost of living by
| fostering a pure fabrics bill. The
politicians looked at him in surprise
not to say disgust. why, in heavens
name, what does dure fabrics have to
do with congress" they snorted at
him as they practically told him that
they'd endorse nothing of the sort.
Iindquist thought pure fabrics mad
much to do with congress.
He put letters into his outgoing mail
order business, asking his clients what
they thought about one F. 0. Lindqulst

form. The replies showed that they
thought right we'll of said Llndquist.
He ran. He was elected. He put In

Democrats StifIe Bill.
It's still in congress-sleeping peace
fully before the democratic interstate
commerce committee, because, as Lind
quist believes, a group of democrats
wouldn't take any action that would
rebound to the benefit of republican.
But Lindquist has devised a new
weapon. He is still in the mail order

less publicity" Consequently every
letter that he sends out bears little
poster, asking the recipient to write
his congressman in favor of the Lind
ouist bill. More than a million OF these
flyers have gone out over the land TO
date, and a day never passes without
some congressman coming to Lind
quist to beg him to cut out his plan.
Get the democrats to do something
with my bill, and I'll let up he calmly
replies. But this explanation hasn't
let light into the reason for the sam

| WASHINGTON, Apr. 29.-Represen-
tative Lindquist is Michigan repub-
lican and a mail order man. Several
years ago he was trimmed in buying
clothes. That is the reason that to-
day he is congressman, and that ex-
plains too, why he is the father of the
Lindquist pure fabrics bill, and
moreover, why his office looks like a
hotel sample room.
To begin at the beginning, Lindquist,
as was said before, was taken in in
buying clothes for his mail order bus
mess. That made him angry-and it
made him think that if he with his ex-
perience, could be fiim-hammed, the
great American people must be SINH
larly defrauded every day. That gave
him an idea that legislation could cor
rect the evils of pseudo "all WOOL
clothing.

PINAFORE PUT ON IN NEW YORK

SCALE.

NEW YORK, Apr. 29.--In these days
OF battle squadrons swinging in Next
can waters ready for action after the
general litter aroused over the Danish
ment of the demon rum from aboard
our vessels, the Kings Navy" may
now be viewed at the Hippodrome. The
greatest ship ever seen on land is H.
M. S. Pinafore at anchor in the huge
tank of New York's famous play house.
Tars scamper about the rigging, for
the Pinafore has top'ls, gaffs, main
and NIXON masts, and every other mark
of an old "windjammer."
Magnificent Spectacle.
In the staging of the famous Gilbert
and Sullivan opera, "Pinafore" in the
Hippodrome the height of scenic Won
derment was fairly reached. The great
ship, rising out of the water high
above the audience, looks as though it
might spread sail and get under way
at any moment. In the second act the
ship is Illuminated and the crowds that
have packed the Hippodrome to view
the most impressing of all "Pinafores"
have been carried away by enthusiasm
at the sight of the lighted ship with
the calciums bathing it in soft blues,
while the chorus appears in early Vic
torian gowns as part of picture
which may never be forgotten
Owing to the vastness of the Hippo
drome many of the lines of "Pinafore"
are lost, but as a setting for the rem
dering of the famous songs and the
general presentation of the opera the |
present staging has probably never be-
fore been equaled. Nine. Josephine ia

CATTLE RUSTLERS


Dallas, Dec. 29.-In the arrest of
three well known young men OF
Gregory county on the charge of cat
tie rustling, an attack has been
launched against the numerous mys-
ferrous losses of stock in the Rosebud
country for the past few months.
Those arrested are Ed Duncan OF
| Gregory and Ray Kobe and Theron
Sheib of Dixon. They were taken in
TO custody by Sheriff II. l. Pierce and
Deputies Ray Garner and Tom Con-
way, following extended ~investiga-
| tons.
One of the heaviest losers in Greg
DRY was August Lenser. located near
| Dixon, who had twenty-seven head
/ of cattle stolen at one time. He has
been working with the authorities in
tracing the thefts. Some of the cat
| tie were shipped TO Sioux City com
| mission houses. though none have
been recovered. Other losses in the
| Dixon country have proved eonclu-
| sively that a we'll organized band OF
rustlers was doing the work, but no
| arrests were made because it was
| necessary TO follow up various clues.
| which finally led to these young men.
| who had been under suspicion for
| some time.
As soon as the evidence was Sc
cured to make the case strong
enough TO warrant action, warrants
were issued. Duncan. who lives at
Gregory, waived examination and
was released under $4,000 bond for
his appearance before County Judge
Davis on January 4.
Kobe and Sheib were taken to
Fairfax and logded in Jail. The hear
ing was continued owing to the abb
sence of the states leading witness
and will be held as soon as he can
be brought to Fairfax.
