i appreciation of MT. Smiths patriot ism.
 City Surveyor Reid was taken after the shooting to Dr. Moore's office, where all the leading medical men of the town called later and rendered their services. These formed a medi- cal council for his treatment and at 5 o'clock this morning decided to re- move the sufferer 10 the Risbon Ro,ye hospital. Three hours later, when MT. Reid had recovered from the shock incident to his removal tbe council made an examination of his wounds.
 The sufferer was found to have been shot by Winchester .45 calibre. the ball entering two inches above the groin on the right side and mak- ing it's exit an inch to the right of the point of the spinal column. The ball made a compound comminuted fracture of the pelvic bone, and sev- eral fragments of this were removed at the time of the examination.
 It needs no words to tell the agon ized pain attending this operation, yet MT. Reid showed the same Spar tan coolness and endurance which he had exhibited since first struck by the rifle of "Soapy" Smith. Before the doctors began the operation he asked for a cigar and this he calm ly smoked while the shattered frag- ments of his anatomy were being re- moved. The opinion of the medical council is that the chances of MT. Reid's recovery are fairly good.
 As we go to press MT. Reid is resting easily, and talking over the stirring events of yesterday with philosophic calmness that excites wonder and admiration.
 few days later Reid died.-Ket- chikan Chronicle.

NEW FURS ARE IN LIMELIGKT
New York Women Do Not Store Neck
Warmers-Take Them Home for
Immediate Wear.

Fur sales are still waxing hot in
New York, and instead of furs being
placed in storage they are taken home
for immediate wear. Although the full
length wraps and dolmanS of Hudson
seal, squirrel or kolinsky are not much
in evidence, some touch of fur is seen
upon almost every garment.
Short little coates or capes in seal,
squirrel or fitch are worn extensively
over suits and street wool dresses and
the popular little choker of last falls
running is back in full force. Fitch,
mole, squirrel or stone marten seems
the favored fur for these tiny neck
chokers Heads and tails are used, and
sometimes a bow of airy tulle or ma
lines The chOkerS are worn fastened
in the back or sidefront.
The higher priced fabric coats are so
lavishly trimmed with furs that they
often resemble a fur coat trimmed with
cloth. Deep bands of beaver nutria,
mole, skunk or squirrel finish the skirt
of the coat form deep cuffs, and the
nOSe-high chOker collar, which, when
unfastened Grapes about the shoulders
as a shawl collar.
Suits use the narrow landings a bit
more, although collars of solid fur are
also very good. Fur seems to harmO-
nize with the goods rather than con
traSt.

SWEEPING AND BUSTING

(By u. S. Public Health Service)
In sweeping a room raise as little
dust as possible, because dust, when
breathed in, irritates the nose and
throat and may set up catarrh. Some
of the dust breathed is carried to the
lungs, making portions Of them black
and hard and useless.
To prevent raising dust in sweeping
bare floors, use moist saWdust. When
the room is carpeted, moisten a news
paper, tear it into small scraps and
sweeping, brush these scraps Of paper
along with the broom and they will
catch most of the dust and hold it
fast, just as the sawdust does on bare
floors. Do not have the paper or saw
dust dripping Wet-only moist.
In busting a room, do not use a
feather buster, because this does not
remove the dust from the room, but
only brushes it into the air. Use soft
dry cloths to dust with, and shake
them frequently out of the window !;
or use slightly mOistened cloths and
rinse them out in water when fin
ished. In this way the dust can be
gotten out of the room.
In rooms which have bare floors, in
houses, stores, shops, school rooms,
etc, all dust can be easily removed
after it has settled by passing over the
floor a mop which has been wrung out
so as to be only moist, not dripping
wet.

SENATE TO HOLD UP
ANTI-IMMIGRATION BILL
Must Investigate" While Amer
lean Workers Are Idle
and Hungry.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Indications are
there will be extended hearings before
the Senate committee on immigration,
of which Senator Colt, of Rhode Is
land is chairman, and that the commit
tee will not take hasty action on the
Johnson bill, just passed by the House,
or any other measure to shut off i'm
migration. Meantime the country con-
tlnues to be flooded with cheap labor
while hundreds of thousands of Amer
leans are idle.
When the committee meets on Janu-
airy Il it is libe1y program of hear
ings will be arranged for. While some
members of the committee would like
to have quick action taken to report out
an antl-immigration measure, others
are insistent that it would be we'll to
find out whether reports that a great
food of European immigration of an
undesirable sort is imminent are ex-
aggerated.
The committee has before it num-
Der of bills relating to immigration
aside from the Johnson measure. These
include the Sterling bill for an over
hauling of the existing law, putting the
administration of immigration restric-
tions in the hands of board the Dill
ingham bill for admission on basis of
percentage of resident nationality and
the Overman bill for shutting aliens
out for five years.

j. S. CHAMBERS
PREPARE TO GUST
OBNOXIOUS TAXES
Have Referendum to Start Bur
den Rolling Onto
Consumers.
WANT A SALES TAX
Excess Profits and Levy on In
comes Should Be Removed,
the Idea.

The United States Chamber of Com
merce is holding another referendum
Last time 1t was on the open shop
question and now having settled that to
suit themselves, the chambers are 60
ing to solemnly referend among them
selves that the obnoxious profits and
income taxes whereby its members in
dividua1ly are made to pay somewhere
near their share of the cost of govern
ment must be removed. And from the
QUESTIONABLE sent out it looks as if they
were also going to try to vote the tax
onto the ultimate consumer, the work.
er, by having a tax on sales, say of
three per cent. which will raise as much
revenue but not hit the pockets of the
plutocratic members of the chambers
present ungodly excess profits tax
which they pass on tripled to the con-
sumner.
The ballot sent out contains a lot of
arguments against the adjustment of
the taxes and after stating them goes
on to show why the arguments should
not be believed but that the 'unj just"
excess profits and income taxes should
be removed. Of course the committee
that prepared the billet deaux isn't in
terested whether the referendum comes
out as desired or not. It tells you so
but then leaves it to others of their big
business friends to do the work of vot-
ing them off. The questions, as glance
over them shows, also provide loop
holes for the business man to crawl out
of his losses if he has any or can show
any. 1t concludes with statement that
the committee personally doesn't quite
see how the sales tax would be praC-
teal but anyhow there's going to be a
referendum The propositions are as

ELLIOT TAKES SHOT
AT N. H. ROAD MEN
Says High Wages, Not Salaries of
Course, Responsible for
Condition.

Washington, Dec 31-Inso1vency of
the New England railroads would
threaten the credit of all carriers, the
Interstate Commerce Commission was
told by Howard Elliott, former presi-
dent of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford road, supporting the applica-
ton of New England roads for a re-
allotment of rates between carriers east
and west of the Hudson river. Speak
ing as chairman of the Northern Pacific
road and a director of the New Haven,
Mr.. Elliott said:
Railroads of New England must meet
outstanding debts to the amount of
$526O00O00 in the next three years,
$334000000 in 1920. $86,OOO,OOO in 1922,
and $1O6,000,O00 in 1923, Mr. Elliott
said. They must have increased reve-
try should bear part of the burden, he
added.
High wages were largely to blame for
the present situation in New England,
Mr.. Elliott said, adding that labor had
Jared better than the stockholders dur
ing the war. He said he believed the
roads were we'll managed.
The witness quoted figures to show
that New England consumed one-eighth
of the products of the United States
and said the maj ority of war munitions
were made in that section. He argued
that the country could not afford to
allow the rolling stock of the New Eng
land carriers to deteriorate.

HATS OF THE DAY
Headgear Is Picturesque, but
Not Decidedly Novel.
Widest Departure From Seasons
Styles Is Small Model Which Sug-
aests Spanish Headdress.

Whether it is the hats that decide
the type of costume to be worn or
whether it is the costume which de-
termines the fashion of the hat is a
mooted question. If it is the hats
that are the forerunners of the sea-
sons fashions, asserts a fashion au-
rhOrity, then we need expect no very
striking new modes.
The mats are picturesque, charming
in line, and very becoming, but they
are not decidedly novel. The widest
departure from the seasons styles is
small hat which suggests the Span
ish headdress. A representative model
OF this type has a comb of black vel
vet, high in the back, with tiny
yellow buttercups growing over it. OF
course there is a frill of black lace
and short lace veil in mantilla eff
feet.
Dropping plumage promises to be
more popular as a trimming than the
more erect angles. A very chic
model of this type is a black panne
velvet roque trimmed with glycerined
ostrich feathers in nasturtium shades
sweeping off at one side.
Lace wells hold prominent place.
Fur is used in many amusing ways
for trimming. Fur bows placed at IN
usual angles are by no means the least
striking.
All the toque shapes, large and
small ones, will be very good for the
season. A smart example of the small
err toque is made of black velvet and
embroidered with melon seeds of cut
steel and with bits of brGnched red
coral.
Feathers of all kinds are lavishly
used, but burnt ostrich is the favOrite.
Among the new trimmings are
horses hair and elephants whiskers

the trimming consists of inserted
plated bands surrounding the skirt in
rows and of high-plaited collars of the
cloth Sometimes a vest of embossed
leather is added Then the high COL
Tar is of the leather.
Tobacco brown serge and soft un-
dressed leather in soft, harmOnizing
shades of brown make a smart coat.

1t is one of the most popular coats in
Paris. Soft brown wool is chosen for
it, with organ-plaited bands of the ma

French woman who recently appeared
in this coat wore with it simple hat
of an unusual shade It was a cloche
pointed at the sides and trimmed only
with a band and bow of ribbon She
Slso wore gauntlet gloves scalloped at
the edge.
Throughout all our current styles
ribbons continue to display their bright
shades. Hats are trimmed with rib,
bOnS in the form of the most exag-
gerated sort of loops and bows. 1t be-
gan with the plain ribbons. but these
soon proved too tame for the taste of
the present day woman, so miIIiners
began to offer hats decked with the
gayest sort of ribbons with their sur
faces embroidered in many bright col
crs as we'll as those Of intricate weave
displaying vari-cOlored surfaces.

Little dancing dresses of tulle or
lace may have full, short skirts, tight
bodices of 1880 style, and sometimes
short puff sleeves. Often bright col
0red ostrich of contrasting color Is
used as trimming on the skirts. Or
if preferred, garlands of gayly colored
flowers may be substituted for the os-
trich.
Ribbons are used on dresses in ev-
cry conceivable way. They make stiff
loop panels which lie flat against the
skirt or fall in loose streamers from
he Waistline to the hem and huge
ribbon sashes that float away into long
side trains. POiret has a novel way of
giving bright touch of color to his
models by adding narrow bands of vel
vet ribbon to an otherwise sOmber gar
ment. He employs this method even
on street suits.

GUESTS OF NATION

The men who came back from
overseas should be the guests OF the
nation. The man who was good
enough 10 oTer his life over there
is good enough to receive decent
treatment now that he is back"
This declaration was made by
Lieutenant Harry T. Nilsson. who

in the course OF an address last
night in the assembly hall Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Building. The
Maryland Division OF the Woman's

they sacrificed 10000 mems lives
that they might have the glory Of
taking the cia' OF Mons from the
Prussians two hours before the ar
mistice was signed. he praised the
work Of the Red Cross during the

Red Cross is now doing by carrying
good cheer to the homes.
He spoke OF the friendly feeling
OF Canadians for this country. and
Canadian soldiers readiness to help
the United States in any righteous
cause.
