Mink., as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM HATS OFF TO THE SUFFRAGISTS. Between times of pricing Merry Widow hats and deciding on Copen- hagen blue dresses the female mind nowadays is fairly excited over suffragetting. Suffragetting, so far as it may be understood by the lay mind receiving its information by way of cable dispatches and special telegrams to the newspapers, consists in a deputation of square-shouldered ladies calling at a closed and botled official door and clamoring for their rights, Then a few of them are arrested, their pictures are printed, and the more prominent of them come over to this country to lecture. Far be it from us to step in where angels fear to tread, but it seems to the unprejudiced, unbiased mind that the lady whose title and social qualifications have been duly blaz- oned to an interested populace as a suffragetting lecturess is on the wrong tack, so to speak, when she advises her unsuffragized sisters over here to demand the ballot, and to adopt rough measures if they don’t get it. When she intimate that refusing to speak to their husbands on any subject whatever until they yield and give the wives the vote will bring them around, she is barking up the wrong tree- No man is going to yield very much if he is placed incommunicada during the spring clothes season. Neitheris the visit- ing lady dealing the right cards when she advertises the use of force. How truly has the poet put 1t when he says: Youmay beat, you may buldgeon a man it you will, You may snatch him baldheaded—he'll have his way still. All that is necessary when a man sees symptoms of suffragetting in his wife is for him to sit down calmly and dignifiedly and argue the matter with her; show her her lack of qualifications and information as to men and tickets and platforms. Woman is reasonable, and once she understands, she understands. Then when a man gets word from his ward boss as to the condidate he shall help to elect he will at least have the consolation of having made politics plain to his wife. OBSERVATIONS. [By "Doc”] After wide, wider and widest comes widow, apparently. Some of the charity that begins at home make a hasty geteway. It is so much easier to forget a favor than it is to forgive an injury. Yov can’t always judge a man’s worth by the size of his bank balance. When misery is at hand there isn’t much pleasure in remembering former joys. Give the president his four battle ships. We certainly will have no peace until he gets them. A judge has called a wife deserter a “common yellow dog.” We protest against such injustice to dogs. That list of prominent lawyers who declined to talk about the Vanderbilt divorce was very interest- ing. An ex-mayor in Ohio is said to worship a wooden idol of a2 woman. Lucky for him. He won’t have to buy her a spring hat. The ordinary mean man can’t see why his wife can’t make her own hats, but he never suggests that she might make his clothes. Talk about the baseball fever! Congress is spending most of its time discussing the first base for the navy in the Philippines. That Cleveland judge who held it assault and battery to steal a kiss appears to have been unnecessarily alarmed by the fact that this is leap year. Many Heads Are Batterea. East St. Louls, Ill,, April 16.—More than 150 workmen fought at the works of the American aluminum works here when Armenian, Greek and Turkish laborers became angry because the company, in taking back its em- ployes, gave preference to Americans and negroes.

Financial Damage as Result of Dis- aster Over $300,000. Helena, Mont., April 1 .—Later de- velopments in the bursting of the Lake Hauser dam near here indicate that the first reports were not exag- gerated and it is now estimated that the financial loss will exceed $300,000. The immense lake, covering twenty square miles in the valley below Hel- ena, had been completely drained twelve hours after the break in the dam. Below Craig and as far as Ulm the Great Noith s are under wa- ter.

The large New York health pub- lication tells its readers of a number of simple and safe prescriptions that can be made at home. - The following, however, for the cure of rheumatism and kidney and bladder troubles receives the greatest praise, viz., Fluid Extract Dandelion, one- half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapar- illa, three ounces. These simple, harmless ingredients can be ob- tained at any good prescription pharmacy at little cost and aie mixed by shaking well in a bottle. The dose for adults is a teaspoon- ful after each meal and again at bedtime, drinking a full tumblerful of water after each dose. It is further stated that this prescription is a positive remedy for kidney trouble and lame back, weak blad- der and urinary difficulties, espec- ially of the elderly people, and one of the best things to be used in rheumatic afflictions, relieving the aches and pains and reducing the swellings. A wellknown local druggist states that this mixture acts directly upon . the eliminative tissues of the kidneys; cleanses these sponge-like organs and gives them power to sift and strain the poisonous waste matter and uric acid from the blood which is the cause of rheuma- tism.

TWO ERMPLOYES WOUNDED Serious Rioting Follows Attempt to Run Cars at Chester, Pa. Chester, Pa., April 1 .—The most serious disturbance which has marked the strike of the motormen and con- ductors of the Chester Traction com- pany resulted in two employes of the company being shot, but not seriously injured. The company attempted to operate a car and William Borgmann, who acted as motorman, was shot in the foot during an attack on the trol- ley by a large crowd of strike sym- pathizers. Men swarmed from all sides. The trolley pole was pulled from the wire, the controller was taken from Borgmann and the crowd beat him and the conductor. Bricks, pieces of lead pipe and other missiles were thrown and every window in the car was broken. A number of revol- ver shots were fired, but Borgmann was the only man hit. A strong de- tachment of police rushed up and, after a struggle, succeeded in driving the crowd back. Rarlier in the day William Griesemer, a claim agent of the company, was shot in the leg while leading a squad of forty men who had been imported to take the places of the strikers in the car barns. In a hand to hand fight the imported workers were routed and driven to shelter in the barn. Mayor Johnson came to the scene and strongly condemned the traction company for atempting to ame service without his permission. WILL REACH HALF MILLION Damage Caused by Breaking of Dam Near Helena, Mont. Helena, Mont., April 1. —Two lives have been lost, the villages of Hauser Lake and Craig have been destroyed, a dozen cabins at Oxbow, the site of another dam, have been swept away, railroad traffic has been tied up and ranchers have lost heavily in live stock and buildings as the result of the bursting of the $2,000,000 dam at Lake Hauser. Many thrilling escapes from death have been reported. The loss from the flood will reach $500,000. Great Northern Agent Stewart of Wolf Creek reports that the track from Wolf Creek east as far as he can see is flooded to a depth of three feet and that for three miles or more it is completely washed out and in places overturned, while the rails are twist- ed and bent in every shape by the foaming waters. Twenty-eight miles of track are under water. Ii is figured conservatively that for at least twenty days no trains can go over the line and no repair work can be done until the water between Wolf Creek and Cascade recedes. The washing out of this stretch of track between Wolf Creek and Cas- cade will tie up practically the entire traffic of the Great Northern between Helena and St. Paul. POSTAL DEPOSITARIES. Senate Committee Changes Name of Postal Savings Banks. Washington, April 1 .—The senate committee on postoffices and post- roads has voted to report favorably the postal savings bank bill drafted by a sub-committee of which Senator Carter was chairman. An amendment was adopted changing the name of the proposed institutions to postal de- positaries, which meets the objections raised against the bill by bankers. The amendment does mnot alter the purpose of the bill, the objects of which are to furnish convenient de- positaries for the small savings of people remote from banking facilities. FORCED BY ORGANIZED LABOR Gompers Discusses Resignation of Congressman Littlefieid. New York, April 1'.—That the res- ignation of Congressman Charles T. Littlefield of Maine, which was re- cently announced, was forced by the| campaign made against him several Yyears ago by organized labor was as- serted by President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor. “When labor made its protest against Mr. Littlefield he .said he would be elected to congress again,” said Mr. Gompers, “and he was elect- ed again, but his prestige began to decline amd now he is to leave con- gress and retire to private life. “Labor cannot afford to overlook the record of any congressman or other public official. Labor must al- ways have in view the idea 6f what labor and its leaders are entitled to under the law. Labor has its rights, knows them and will stand for them. It will not let itself be outlawed by any judicial decision. Labor organiza- tions have political power. It has never been utilized as it should be utilized.” FEDERAL JURY SAYS GUILTY Alleged Brokers Convicted of Con- spiracy at Minneanolis. Minneapolis, April 1 .—The jury found a verdict of guilty in the case of the United States against Herbert F. Robinson, J. L. Layne and F. E. Holliday, tried before Judge Morris in the federal district court on an in- dictment charging conspiracy. The Jury was in consultation for about an hour and a half. The defendants operated what pur- ported to be a grain brokerage busi- ness in an ofiice in the Guaranty Loan building in the year 1905. The fed- eral authorities are of the opinion that the defendants secured from $75, 000 to $100,060 through their exploits by means of circular letters sent out broadcast through the mails with the informatior that they had inside and exclusive information on the grain markets and would, therefore, pay large returns on money given them for investment. AGREEMERT NEAR AT HAND Miners and Operators Get Together on Important Points. FORCE ENTERS PERSIA Russia Punishing Kurds Who At- tacked Frontier Post. VILLAGES ARE DESTROYED Czar's Troops Wipe Out Number of Small Towns, After Scattering the Kurdish Raiders, and Are Reported to Be Continuing to Advance. Tiflis, Transcaucasia, April 1 .—Rus- sian troops have invaded Persian ter- ritory in the vicinity of Tenkoran, a port on the Casplan sea, for the pur- pose of punishing Kurdish raiders. This step was taken in consequence of the renewal of the attack upon the Russian garrison at Belesuvar, a frontier post. The trouble began April 12, when a detachment of Russian troops from Belesuvar met a band of Kurdish brigands and lost several men in the subsequent fighting. The brigands also suffered. They prepared to attack Belesuvar in force in re- venge for their treatment by the Rus- sian soldiers and they descended on the garrison in large numbers. Orders were issued for the garrison, which is supported by artillery, to enter Persian territory and punish the Kurds. The Russians in force then crossed the frontier and destroyed several villages. They also scattered the Kurds, who numbered in all about 4,000. According to the latest reports re- ceived at Tiflis the Russians are still continuing their advance. The people of Belesuvar have tele- graphed to St. Petersburg appealing for immediate protection. Cossacks preserve order. The whole. of the frontier is in a state of alarm. NUMBER OF JAPS PERISH Boarding Car on Canadian Pacific Swept Away by Storm. Calgary, Alberta, April 1 .—One of the worst snow storms in the history of the Canadian Pacific railroad oc- curred near Alberta canyon, in the Cascade range, sweeping away two boarding cars filled with Japanese la- borers and carrying them down the mountain side. The roar of thousands of tons of snow, ice and rock, carrying before it debris of every kind and snapping trees as it would matches, could be heard for miles and it fairly made the ground tremble. The num- ber that perished is not known, as all telegraph wires were carried down with the slide, but it is believed that forty Japs were in the cars at the time.and only five bodies have been recovered. PERISHED IN PRAIRIE FIRE North Dakota Farmer and Family Missing. Forman, N. D, April 1..—Louls Orian, a farmer, his wife and five children, whose buildings were de- stroyed by a prairie fire, are missing and are believed to have perished in Toledo, O., April 1 .—The scale committee of the interstate operators and coal miners has reached an agreement on all important points at issue, although it is yet at work o minor details. J The committee has decided upon a tentative agreement on a two-year basis at a 90-cent ton rate for mining, with a satisfactory agreement as to the adjustment of working conditions which will place the different dis- tricts on a relatively equal footing. This scale will be accepted by Pres- ident Lewis on behalf of the miners, with the understanding that he will at once get into communication with the various locals in the districts rep- resented in the convention and have them take a vote on the proposition, Provides Financial Commission. Washington, April 1" .—Chairman Fowler of the house committee on banking and currency has introduced in the house a bill providing for the appointment of a commission of forty- three members to prepare a bill “for a scientific financial and currency sys- tem.” The membership is to consist of eleven senators, eleven members of the house and twenty-one citizens to be designated by the president. The commission is required to make a re- port to congress by Jan. 1 next. . Toledo Savings Bank Closed. Toledo, O., April 1'.—The Dorr Street Savings bank, an institution situated in the factory distriet and patronized principally by workmen and small tradesmen, has closed its doors. The trouble is due to finan- cial depression, which caused laborers to withdraw deposits for immediate use. The bank was capitalized at $25,000 and had $125,000 deposits. As- sets will pay depositors in full. Notice for Publication.

MEETS A PECULIAR DEATH Child Drowns or Chokes While Drink- ing at Faucet. Marinette, Wis., April I .—Death in one of its most peculiar ‘forms oc- curred to three-year-old Alla Gunstrom at the home of her parents at Norway, Mich. The child, being thirsty, went to the waterworks for a drink. She put her lips to the faucet and after remaining there for a longer period than the parents thought necessary for the little one to procure a drink they went to the child, but only to find that they could not release her. A physician was hastily summoned and upon his arrival he discovered that the child had succumbed by either drowning or by choking. Highwayman Killed by Peliceman. Portland, Ore., April 1'—After a bold series of robberies on both sides of Willamette river, in which three men held up pedestrians and saloons, Patrolman Charles D.

San Diego, Cal,, April 1!.—The for- malities of official welcome at an end and the big parade a thing of the past the officers and men of the Atlantic fleet have begun to enjoy themselves largely according to their bent, al- though many hospitable functions were planned in their honor. The sailors came ashore in large numbers, a quarter section of the entire force entitled to liberty being allowed to land. Some could be seen riding horses at a high gallop through the streets and looking extremely pic- turesque in their biue blouses and flapping trousers. Quite a party of the sailors found their way to a bi- cycle establishment and rode the wheels about the city and outlying roads for hours. Buggy rides glso were popular. Refreshment booths, with lemonade, fruits and daintfes to be had for the asking, were erected about the city and proved extremely popular. BOTH BADLY DAMAGED. Bteamers in Collision Outside of New York Harbor. New York, April 1 —While out- ward bound for Havana the steamer Monterey collided with the Scan- dinavian line steamer United States, outward bound for Copenhagen. Both steamers were badly damaged. The United States is aground on the west edge of the main channel about two miles south of West Bank light. The Monterey, with railings 'smashed and a dent in her bow, was towed back to port by three big tugs. The United States sustained serfous damage below the water line and was. leaking so badly that her com- mander was forced to run her aground to prevent her sinking. She has about 600 passengers on board. See the lining attachment Lieving a great deal of the gtra A Peep st the inside of .
