The most overworked lie in the world is “Glad to see you.”’ Usually the man who thinks the world is against him is too luzy to fight back. Not knowing how the other fellow’s . conscience may work often makes 4 coward of a man. We all admire the man who always tells the truth, so long as he is careful how much of it he tells. Common sense before she is thirty will do more to keepa woman beautiful than fine clothes afterward. The ideal self-made man is the one who never allowed it tobe printed that he had ‘“‘accepted a situation.” I would rather see a child for- get to say ““thank you” than to hear its parents say “What do you say now?” Some day some one will organ- ize a model community, take all the bores there, introduce them to one another, and leave them. Weather observers are said -to be scarce. At times this spring they have seen in an aroused public a reasen for making themselves scarce. As near as we can get at the facts, “dollar wheat,”” the same which these Chicago gentlemen are buying and selling fora liv- ing, hasn’t even come to a head yet. A man in Chicago wore him- seif out so completely in the process of counting $2,000,000 that he fainted at the end of the operation. You see, it wasn’t his money. END OF GRAFT INQUIRY. Another Batch of Indictments Ex- pected at San Francisco. San Francisco, May &.—This week, it is said, will see the end of the grand jury’s graft investigation except for the picking up later of loose ends of testimony concerning the minor corruption deals and the examination into the affairs of the municipal de- partments. Evidences concerning every one of the big grafts which the prosecution announced their intention of exposing is well in hand and a batch of indictments will, it is expected, be voted within the next few days. Dis- trict Attorney Langdon stated that the conclusion of the gigantic work is now but a matter of a few days. He sald: “The grand jury’s work is practically at an end and so far as the investi- gation of the matters which we have undertaken is concerned should be concluded by the end of the week. Certain matters must still be inquired into, but the evidence against all those men connected with the big briberies is about concluded.” PICKETING IMPOSSIBLE. Sweeping Decision. by Federal Court in Strike Case. Milwaukee, May 2 .—A sweeping de- clsion against union picketing has been rendered by Judge A.-L. Sanborn of the United States district court in the case of the Allis-Chalmers com- pany against the striking union mol- ders. The strike began about a year ago and last fall Judge Quarles issued a temporary injunction restraining the union from interference with non- union werkmen and with the business of the company. Later Judge Sanborn convicted several union men for con- tempt in violating the injunction and susvended sentence as to the greater number of them, twenty or more. Now he makes the injunction permanent and su sweeping in its provisions that concerted picketing will be practically impossible. ATTEMPTS TO END LIFE. Ensign Implicated in Santiago. Washington, May 2 .—The navy de- pariment has received a dispatch from Santiago, Cuba, stating that Ensign Alfred T. Brisbin, who was in diffi- culty with the police of Santiago about a fortnight ago in company with sailors from the Tacoma, had shot himself through the lung and was in a serious condition. Ensign Brisbin Is in Santiago. The official investiga- tion of the trouble with the Santiago police appears to have developed the fact that Brisbin was drinking with the sailors, which would doubtless have resulted in his having been court- martialed. Brisbin entered the An- napolis naval*academy from Pennsyl- vania in 1899 and graduated in 1903. He was born in Idah Disorders at Pat Crowe Placed on Trial. Council Bluffs, Ia, May 2 .—Pat Crowe has been placed on trial here on a charge of holding up and rob- bing two street cars on the night of July 4, 1905. Crowe, together with another man, was indicted while he was on trial in Omaka for the kidnap- ping of Eddie Cudahy. Crowe has ! pleaded not guilty to the indictment. NEW SPECIAL VENIRE Sixty More Talesmen Ordered in the Haywood Case. TRIAL GOES OVER TWO DAYS Adjournment Taken in Order to Give the Sheriff Time to Subpoena Pros- pective Jurors—Seat No. 9 the Only One Now Vacant. Boise, Ida., May 22.—The special venire of talesmen in the Steunen- berg murder trial was exhausted at 10:45 a. m. and Judge Wood at once adjourned the trial for two days to permit Sheriff Hodgin to gather an- other venire of sixty men. There were only nine men of the old special venire left when the trial was resumed and they went very quickly. TFive were examined and excused under challenge for bias in thirty-five minutes. The sixth man, Levi Smith, a farmer, was, after an extended examination, accepted and given seat No. 10, just vacated by John Fisher, upon whom the defense exercised its sixth peremptory chal- lenge. After the acceptance of Levi Smith Juror Orrie Cole, who is in bad health, was excused by consent of both sides, it being feared that his condition might seriously interfere with the trial. . Of the last three talesmen two were opposed to capital punishment and the third had a strong fixed opinion as to the guilt or innocence of Will- fam D. Haywood, the prisoner at bar. The jury as it now stands is as fol- lows: Thomas B. Gessal, fire insur- ance and real estate agent; Isaac Bedell, farmer; Samuel S. Gilman, farmer; Daniel Clark, farmer; George Powell, farmer; John Whitlock, nur- seryman; George H. McIntyre, farm- er; Lee Scrivener, farmer; Levi Smith, superintendent of construc- tlon; A. P. Burns, no present occupa- tion, and Samuel Russell, farmer. Seat No. 9 is vacant. CHANGE OF VENUE DENIED Judge Dunne Will Preside at Trial of Mayor Schmitz. San Francisco, May 22.—The larg- est crowd that has thus far been at- tracted by any of the proceedings in the graft investigation and prosecu- tion was'in attendance in the supe- rior court when Mayor Schmitz made his appearance on the charge of ex- torting money from local French res- tauranters with the connivance of Abraham Ruef. Not only was- the courtroom crowded to its utmost ca- pacity but scores of people stood on the benches in order to catch a glimpse of the defendant and lose no incident of the proceedings. Assistant District Attorney Heney read affidavits sworn to by himself and Judge Dunne denying categorically the allegation made in the affidavits filed last Saturday by the defense in support of the motion for a substitu- tion of trial judge. Mr. Heney, in reading his own affi- davit, threw intense feeling into his voice and gestures. He denied with the greatest emphasis that he or those who are associated with him in the prosecution have any ulterior motives —that they desire any political prefer- ment or municipal office or that they have any purpose whatever beyond the purification of the muniecipality and the punishment of those whom they may accuse of corrupt practices. At the conclusion of the reading of the affidavits Judge Dunne denied the motion for the change of trial judge. COMMITTEE OF SEVEN QUITS Fails to Secure Co-Operation of Frisco Graft Fighters. San Francisco, May 22.—The “com- mittee of seven” appointed by the five commercial organizations of San Fran- cisco to take over some of the power of Mayor Schmitz with the latter’s consent for the purpose of bringing about some order in municipal affairs in consequence of a general disorgani- zation and lack of harmony in the city government resulting from the sensational bribery graft exposures has resigned. The reason assigned by the committee for withdrawing was that it had been unable to secure the co-operation of Rudolph Spreckels and Francis J. Heney, who are the head of the graft investigation. This action was taken by the com- mittee after a meeting which lasted nearly the entire afternoon and at which Governor Gillette sought in valn to dissuade the members from taking the step they did. The committee was to have acted in an advisory capacity to the mayor and the latter had prom- Ised to carry out whatever it recom- mended. RESENTED BY - IMMIGRANTS New Plan of Measurement by Bertil- lon System. Copenhagen, May 22.—The authori- ties throughout Scandinavia began to measure emigrants by the Bertillon system in accordance with instruc- tions from the government issued at the request of the United States. The proceedings were resented by the im- migrants, who declared they were not thieves or criminals but free citizens and thought they were going to a free country. A number demanded the re- turn of the money they had paid for transportation and it was given to them. RAILROADS FILE PROTEST. Dbject to New Method of Weighing the Mails. Chicago, May 22.—All the impor- tant railroads in the country have united in a protest to the postmaster general against an order which was Issued Midrch 2 last by former Post- master General Cortelyou and his last important official act as the head of the postoffice department. The order read: “Ordered, that when the weight of mail i taken on railroad routes the THIS IS SAID TO - GLEAN THE BLOOD Splendid Home Prescription Which Anyone Can Easily Mix--Over- comes Blood Disorders. A leading journal in answer- ing the question, “What is the best prescription to clean and purify the blood,” prints in a re- cent issue the following: Fluid Extract of Dandelion one-half ounce, Compound Kargon, one ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsap- arilla three ounces. Shake well and use in' teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. A well known local druggist, who is familiar with this pre- scription, states that it is harm. less, being composed of vegetable ingredients which can be ob- tained from any good prescrip- tion pharmacy, It cleans the blood of all im- purities and nourishes the blood. In just afew days the skin be gins to clear of sores, boils and pimples. It puts vigor and energy into run-down, debilitated men and women. For many years Sarsaparilla alone has been considered a good blood medi- cine. But while it built up and made new blood, the impurities remained within and thé good accomplished was only tempor- ary, Sarsaparilla, however, when used in combination with Com- pound Kargon and Extract Dan- delion works wonders. This combination puts the kidneys to work to filter and sift out the wasté matter, uric acid and other impurities that cause di- ease. It makes new blood and relieves rheumatisr and lame back and bladder troubles. This prescription is better than the usual patent medicines, which are 1 the most part alco- holic concoctions. The ingredi- ents cost but little, They may be procured from any good pharmist and mixed at home. Every man and woman here should make some up and try it if they feel their system requires a good blood medicine and tonic. The Kargon to clean the kid- neys and vitalize them so they can clean the blood, -Sarsaparilla to make new rich blood and Dan- delion to tone the stomach, clean the liver and make it active and relieve constipation is the way the prescription acts and so mildly and gently that one does not consider they are takirga medicine. whole number of days the mails are ‘weighed shall be used as a divisor for dhtaining the average weight per day.” As the railroads are paid on a per diem basis for carrying mail this or- der, making seven instead of six the number of “working days,” makes a decrease of over 14 per cent in their yearly compensation from mail traffic, or a reduction of about $6,600,000. In their protest just made to Post- master Meyer against the order of former Postmaster General Cortelyou the railroads ask for its revocation for the following reasons: “First—It changes the intent and purpose of the existing law. “Second—If penalizes railroads that perform the most frequent and most valuable service. “Third—TIt offers a premium for less frequent and inferior service.” LABORERS IN WRECK.

Growing Flowers In Winter. A long run of dark days in winter is bad for the florists. It matters little how cold the weather is, provided there is sunshine, for the heat can al- ways be maintained to the proper point, and with sunshine flowers will bloom just as freely when the ther- mometer shows an outdoor tempera- ture of zero as at the freezing point, though of course more money must be spent for conl. DBut when, day_after day, for weeks at a time, clouds over- hang the sky, nothing will grow as it should. The carnation buds develop slowly until they are half open and walt for sunshine, and if it does not come in four or five days the blooms decay. Ko also It Is with callas and roses. They will open halfway, then, without sunlight, will quickly spoil.— St. Louls Globe-Democrat. How They Dance in Hungary. With the exception of the Spaniards there s no nation in Europe that dances like the Hungarians. They love it with a love that amounts to a passion. They not only go In for It heart and soul, but they will dance on anything, in any sort of weather. A paddock, a village street, a stable yard, the earth- en floor of a wayside csarda—it is all the same to them. Not the scorching sun or the whirling dust or the pelting rain or the falling snow will deter them. They all dance beautifully too. It seems to be in their blood. Strikebreakers Roughly Handled. Evansville, Ind., May ' .—After sus- pending operations for almost sixteen hours the Evansville and Southern In- diana Railway company began to run their cars again with nonunion men aboard. Several demonstrations oc- curred. Two cars were stopped and three -strikebreakers dragged off by a crowd of sympathizers. Later they joined the union. The mob took oft the fenders of several cars and sev- eral nonunion employes deserted their posts. D POISON CURE YOURSELF AT HOME Most persons who are afflicted with Contagious Blood Poison hesitate to go to a physician for several reasons. In the first place the expense is heavy, and they know that the inevitable treatment will be mercury and potash, strong minerals that act with disastrous effects on the delicate parts of the system, and which do not, after all, really cure the disease. What they want is a safe, reliable treatment that can be taken at home and a per- fect cure made of this loathsome disorder without unnecessary exposure os expense. Such a remedy is S. S. S.—it is the only medicine that goes down to the very bottom of the trouble and drives out the last trace of the poison so that there are never any signs of its return. Itdoes not contain a particle of mineral in any form, and after removing tl;ie disease fbrlontx the circul;tttiion builds up every part of the system by its fine vegetable tonic properties. Fipd S?S. S. attacks the trouble at its head and S.S.S. not only permanently cures the disease fof the one afflicted, but so purifies the blood that future offspring is insured against infection. S. S. S. may be taken in the privacy of your home and a perfect cure made of this hateful and loathsome trouble. For the assistance of 5 those who are curing themselves with S. 8. S. we have prepared a special book on Contagious Blood Poison which contains instructions of great value to all blood poison sufferers.
