RAILROAD UNIONS
ACCEPT WAGE AWARD

The Brotherhood leaders in Chica-
go have accepted the wage award
of the labor board. though they are
not entirely satisfied with all of the
awards. says the Sparks Tribune.
Their acceptance, they say, is in
order to permit the men to receive
the back pay from May LIST. They
will undoubtedly start TO prepare an
other cas- to present to the labor
board and will seek to secure in
creases that will put the wage where
they asked that they be placed in their
first case.
The telegraphers receive the small
est award. but will put the matter be-
fore the members of their organiza-
ton. They state that they have zap
parently been Disseminated against
in the award, without any explanation
of the discrimination"
The maintenance-of-way have &C
cepted the award and the other four
teen brotherhoods have accepted the
awards under protest.
The shop crafts have referred the
award to their members for ratifica-
ton. with the advice that the award
be accepted.
Ii was stated that the first award,
under the Esch-Cummins law, was
disappointing to the union men and
they have a right TO be disappointed,
as the award was just a sop thrown
to each railroad worker.
Samuel Gompers declared himself
as opposed to the increase in rates
TO make up the wage award and said
that such increases could easily be
met without such rate increases, if the
railroads were operated efficiently.

Some of John Kunz's political

death to see him tossed out of the

been insistently urging him to get

intending to harpoon him in good
shape if he could be coaxed into the

The Democratic congressional tan
gle was given several more snarls
this week. With the return of r. c.
Stoddard from San Francisco it was
thought that his announcement of
candidacy for the Democratic nomin-
alton would be made in a few days.
Then came the report that influential
Democrats were trying to get ]. F..
Shaugnnessy into the fight. 1t is gen.
orally believed that Shaughnessy's en-
trance into the fight would mean the
elimination of Stoddard or any other
machine" Democrat as an
against Evans. Shaughnessy is one
of the most prominent Democrats in
The state and also has a high standing
with organized labor. 1t is for this
latter reason, so it is said, that certain
Democrats believed he would make a
stronger candidate against Evans
than would Stoddard, although the
latter also is highly regarded by
union men.

campaigning. He is making a tour of
Southern Nevada after a trip across

A legislative ticket backed by the
business and professional men OF
Reno, and non-partisan in character
will probably be announced from the
Reno district shortly, according to
plans that are now being considered
by business men of the district. Just
what the men on the ticket will be
asked to stand for has not been given
out but it is generally supposed that
they will oppose certain so-called re-
form legislation. The divorce ques-
ton is likely to come up for consid-
Grafton by the legislature on initiative
petition and it is generally supposed
that the business men of this COM
munity and many other cities in the
state will oppose any change in the
divorce law, except to make it impos-
sible for persons to secur a divorce
who have not resided here the re-
quired six months, whether personal
service is secured or lot.
Merchants of Reno and other towns
in the state have expressed them
selves in most instances as favoring
the present divorce law, co~ntending
that it is better than the divorce law
in many states and as good as any
divorce statute in any state.
The members of this legislature
could not act on prohibition legisla-
ton in any event, in SO far as the
present Nevada dry law is concerned,
as a law cannot be repealed, AMI
nulled or set aside within three years
after its passage.

There have been no new develop

Wharton, with Miss Anne Martin, an
avowed candidate, the unknown guam
tity. w C.. Pitt, regarded at one time
as a certain candidate, is said to have

Adams is still in the uncertain class,

tend to step out unless he is satisfied
that conditions are absolutely right.

Friends OF George Cole, state on

desire to be a participant. Cole, SO

state controller again and, while he
would like to be governor. is not very
keen about opposing Maurice J. Sui
Ivan for the nomination two years
hence. For this reason, they argue.
1t would have been to his advantage
to have entered the congressional

based, of course, on the supposition
that the machine" can

Cards announcing the candidacy of
James 7. Boyd for United States SEN
ator made their appearance in Nina
last week. They were posted il many
conspicuous places in Mineral county,
according TO reports brought from
there. 1t has been given out in Reno
that the cards were put up without
the sanction of Boyd, who has been
quite i'll for the last five weeks and
still is in bed.
The general opinion prevailing
among Boyd's friends is that he will
not be a candidate on of his
illness. 1t is well known that he has
a keen desire to make the race for
the senate and that had illness not
prevented he probably would have OPP
posed Senator Henderson in the pri-
mary election.

OODSON KILLING
USE OF CAL0MEL
Says Drug Is Mercury and Acts
Like Dynamite on Your
Liver.

D0dson is making a hard eight
against calomel in the South. Every
druggist has noticed great falling of;
in the sale Of calomel. They all give
the same reason, Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place:
OCalOmel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better results,
said a prominent local druggist. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is personally guaran-
teed by every druggist. A large bottle
costs but few cents, and If it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or cause incon-
venience all the next day like violent
calomel. Take a dose Of calOmel to-
day and tomorrow you will feel weak,
sick and nauseated. Don't lose a days
work Take DodsOn's Liver Tone in
stead and feel fine, full Of vigor and

i is not without intention that a
plain felt is placed at the top; for OF
all millinery for children, the hand
some beaver or felt, with ribbon trim,
holds its own as always above criti-

beavers and felts, plain as they are,
come in an unbelievable variety OF

trims, and in all needed sizes and
colors. They are here and have been
for many years and are as certain OF
return each year as the seasons are.

Trees for a TreeIess Town.

This year Freedom, Wyoming, is en-
joying the novelty Of trees along its
streets and on it's lawns because one
woman had vision enough to see trees
there and determination enough to get
them planted. Freedom is situated in
the treeless part of Wyoming. 1t had
no tiees, and no one seemed to regard
1t as possible to have any. Finally,
one woman wrote to the state agri-
cultural college for advice and learned
that the blue spruce would do well in
that region and that the forestry d.
vision would furnish transplants for
5 cents apiece. Starting with a goal
Of 250 trees, she kept on until she had
succeeded in getting 1,460 planted by
the interested residents. Now the
whole country is planting blue spruces.
That is real public spirit.--YOuth's

A POSTSCRIPT written to the story
"A of suits is due just now and may
be briefly written, since the story itself
was not a long one this season. There
has been great uniformity of styles and
considerable variety in details of fin
ishing, and the points that distin-
guished suits at the beginning of the
season proved to be very popular, so
that there has been no good reason for
running after strange gods. Now that
the season is over, and designers are
turning their attention to spring, we
are not likely to find any startling in
novations in winter styles.
The two suits pictured are found
among the liberal quota of fur-trim-
med models that have made up
part of all representative collections.
The suit at the left is one of the few
that have shown themselves independ-
ent of the vogue for coats reaching al
most to the knees. There are few
models that keep it company, so that
1t is not wholly audaciOus, but they
are very becoming and good in style.
The coat shown in the picture has en-
placements of fur at each side of the

pretty head coverings Of this descrip'
ton.
The ha at the right is simpler
and is also made Of velvet. Two cOlOrs
are used for it, the brim in lighter
tone than the crown, and a, sash of rib
bon finishes 1t.
A charming hat at the bottom of the
group is an amusing miniature made
like hats for grownups. 1t Is also
made of velvet with sectional crown
and has an upturned brim split at each
side. Silk cord edges the brim and
outlines the seams in the crown and
bright motifs in silk embroidery help
the gaiety of the winter season. No
wonder its small wearer is so pleased
with life In general and her hat in
particular. 1t is a clever piece of de-
signing in which the means used for
developing maturer headwear have
been perfectly adopted to childhood.
Hats as elaborate as this look best
with plain coats and It happens that
coats for girls are plain this season.

set in the spaces between the fur
pieces and a generous shawl collar.
The long girdle Of the material is fin
ished at the ends with barrel-shaped
ornaments made of the fur. Squirrel
skins were chosen for this suits trim
ming and the gray velvet turban COW
cred with massed sprays Of uncprled
ostrich in gray looks well with 1t.
The suit at the right reveals coat
a little longer than the average, with
a plain and fairly wide skirt. 1t is
a fine model for a matronly wearer
with it's straight coat and line of cloth
covered buttons from waist tc neck.
These buttons reappear at the sides
where the coat is split, and add to the
general trimness of this suit. Popular
furs for suits include seal, moleskin,
squirrel, short-haired fox, Australian
opossum and beaver. Another feath-
er-covered hat suggests that velvet and
feathers are not outrivaled by any.

here a velvet-covered toque makes the
background for much uncurled ostrich.
