THE, MONUMENT CRAZE: ;T 7 Speaking of/ monumeats; reminds{! us that some_ idiots down at Wash. ipgton propuse to raise, the, modest sum of $2,500,000 by subscriptian from the masses to erect another monument to George Washington at " the nation’s capital, says the Red- wood Reville. George already has , .one monument 555 feet high which s .wholly sufficient for_his, needs, nonsldermz ‘that he has been more, than_a, hundred years dead. . But _there is no limit to this monument business in the minds of some, peo- _..ple, who come mighty near being in the category of public puisances. .. A little more than a year ago when . Senator Allison died, after feeding at'the public crib for forty-four con- secutive years, a movement was “ started to collect $50,000 from . the school children of Iowa to build him “a mooument. Now the undisputed “facts are that he died wifeless and * childless leaviug . a fortune in excess " 'of '$75,000 which went to collateral Ii_ein. We prefer to see the child- Ten buy candy to rot their teeth out rather than that their childhood ‘should be invaded by this silly twacdle and hero worship which is wholly spectacular and nsincere. TH: COUNTRY EDITOR. How does the country editor man- age to make the newspaper he does isa question which has been often asked and never answered in_ but one way: By work Heis his own editor, reporter, business manager, foreman, mailing clerk, and very oftéh his Bwn compositor. Alone, or with*&h assisstant or two, he turns out every week a paper which, while perhap® ot brilliant, yet contains substaitiglly all the news of the day, and allof the news of the locahity. The"-pzper bas an influence far greater in proportion to its circula- tiow than any of the great metropoli- tan dail es, and it has done more to educate and reform the veople than the churches and the public schools, is the fbelief of many. The over- worked country editor is not properly Yappreciated, for he does more for the feommunity than any other individ- ‘ual. He must have firm belief ina reward hereafier, or his nerve would * have deserted him early in his bust- liog career. TIME TO DO YOUR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. Time flied, as you know when Christmas is less than three weeks ahead of us. . Already the merchants are adver- tising Christmas novelties and the sewing circles are busy with plans for inexpensive but novel Christmas Rifts. © The weather, too, is acting "Christmasy” and we urge Christmas shoppers to com mence shopping. If you knew how much help you ‘would be to the merchant by shop- ping early, you would shop early. There is hardly one among you who does not intend to invest a little money in tokens of good will to be given on Christmas day. Why should you wait until the last moment to make these purchases? The clerks in the stores and the proprietors, too, would appreciate ¢arly buying. You can make them a Christmas gift by so doing. Think it over. BY THE WAY. Eighteen days till Xmas—then for more resolutions. Which would* you rather do, re- solve or do, early shopping—? An hour lost in the morning has to be run after all day. It makesa difference too, when night comes. All thiogs may come to the man se them at the end of the wamng. He’ll be dead.

'President Hawley denies this and says Whitney's statement '8 “a lame and contemptible excuse for men be wants to go back as scabs.” 8ixty Switch Engines Working. Railroad. officials jassert that sixty switch engines are working in all prin- oipal yards and 50 per cent of freight is moving; this the-strikers deny on reports from their pickets. President Hawley declares that if the railfoads try to crush the Switch- men’s’ union--there will be a general strike of other railroad employes and it will be “a costly experiment.” He 8ays‘that -‘other sections are only awaiting;the word from him to strike. The public affairs committee mem- bers of the Commercial club roundly scored ‘the mayor of St. Paul for act- ing as strikers’ counsel while holding what should be an office on neutral gnound, for the whole people. Two hundred additional strike- breakers arrived, all said to be real switchmen, who will be distributed to clear the yards. Superintendent M. J. Dooley of the Minnesota Transfer reports absolute respect for company property and law- abiding, quiet attitude of strikers. Everywhere the orderliness of the strikers is a matter of comment. GREAT STRIKE IS PROBABLE Various Railroad Unions Want an In- crease in Wages. Chicago, Dec. 6.—The Tribune says: The United States is threatened with the greatest railroad strike in the history of the nation. Practically every railroad line in the country, East and West, is in im- minent danger of being completely tied up v a walkout on the part of large numbers of its operating em- ployes this mcnth. Officers of the organizations of en- gineers, firemen, trainmen and switch- men have agree” upon a uniform de- mand of a 10 per cent wage increase, without deviation or compromise. That the crisis is approaching rap- idly was indicated by the announce- ment at New York by officers of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen that they would present their demands on the 1ith of this month and the wage conf-rences will begin on the 16th. SEATTLE YARDS CONGESTED 8ome Freight Moves but General Traf. fic Is Tied Up. Seattle, Wash., Dec. 6.—The strike situation in the Pacific Northwest con- tinues interesting. Both the Great Northern and Northern Pacific rail- ‘ways have several switching crews at work here and also have a number of green men under instruction, Although there has been some move- ment of freight the congestion in the yards has not been entirely relieved and the embargo against the receipt of freight from shippers has not been re: moved. The action of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen in ordering its senger service has enabled the roads to get their transcontinental fiyer out on time. FOR FIRST TIME ON RECORD ‘Not a Carload of Wheat Arrives in Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Dec. 6.—For the first time in the grain history of Minneap: olis not a carload of wheat was re- ceived in the terminals. No barley, rye or flax was shipped in, the lone arrivals being two cars of corn and one of oats, much delayed by the strike. ‘Wheat stocks in the Mill City total 8,137,000 bushels, as against 12,000,000 bushels at this time last year. MANY POLES ARE DISMISSED All Those Emplayed on Russian Rall roads Let Out. St. Petersburg, Dec. 6.—Following the recent dismissal of all Polish em- ployes on the Russian Southwestern railway an order was issued for the epeedy elimination of Polich employea membersaip back to work in thé pas; M r r AT\ I Mma = progress is also being made with the organization of the Russian reserve Maff for the Finnish lines.

The wife of a JUDSON HARMON. striker was hit by a brick intended for her husband. She is in a serious condition. There was desultory shooting in the neighborhood of the mill until 4 o’clock in the morning. Several were wounded. Windsor Davis, a striker, was shot in the calf of the leg. It is known that at least two guards are seriously hurt inside the mill, but officials refuse to give out any infor- mation as to their condition. It is said both are mortally injured. The mill is idle for,lack of men, but the company will rush in addi- tional strikebreakers from Cleveland and Pittsburg. -Is it wholesome? That i is the first question t food or beverage.

ABRUZZI COMING IN SPRING Will Give Four Lectures on Asiatic Mountain Climbing. ‘Washington, Dec. 6—The Duke of the Abruzzi, in a letter to a friend here, declares that his recent promo- tion to the vice admiralty of the Italian navy .wiil not interfere with his plans to visit this country early in the spring. He will give four lectures on the ascension of the Asiatic moun- tains. It is reported that his visit will take place with the understanding that he will not be treated as a visiting mem- ber of the royal house. The informal- ity is said by his friends to indicate & desire to receive a reply from Miss Katherine Elkins. One of her closest friends says she will have made up her mind by that time as to whether she will yield her hand or not. FLOODS DO IMMENSE DAMAGE Losses in Northwest Washington Run Into Millions. Bellingham, Wash.,, Dec. 6.—Early estimates cf flood losses in Northwest ‘Washington are almost double as the ‘waters recede and outlying districts are heard from. Many place the loss at $2,500,000 in Skagit and Whatcom counties. The Upper Skagit valley will be cut off from the rest of the world for months, as forty miles of railway must be relocated and built. Every shingle and lumber mill on the Skagit and Nooksack rivers is damaged. Several million feet of logs are floating in Puget sound. Cold weather has succeeded the flood and there is suffering among refugees camped in the fcothills. AVOID HARSH DRUGS Many Cathartics Tend to Cause Injury to the Bowels. If you are subject to constipation you should avoid strong drugs and cathartics. They only give tem- porary relief and their reaction is harmful and semetimes more annoy- ing than constipation. They in no way effect a cure and their tendancy is to weaken the already weak or- gans with which they come in con- tact. We honesly believe that we have the best constipation treatment ever devised. Our faith in it is so strong that we sell it on the positive guar- antee that it shall not cost the user a cent if it does not give entire sat- isfaction and completely remedy constipation. This preparation is called Rexall Orderlies. These are prompt, soothing and most effective in action. They are made of a recent chemical discovery. Their principal ingredient is odorless, tasteless and colorless. Combined with other well known ingredients, long established for their usefulness forms a tablet which is eaten just like candy. They may be taken at any time, either day or night, with- out fear of their causing any incon- venience whatever. They do not gripe, purge nor cause nausea. They act without causing any pain of excessive loosenees of the bowels. They are ideal for children, weak, delicate persons and aged people as well as for the most hearty person. They come in two size packages, 12 tablets 10 cents, 36 tablets 25 cents. Remember you can obtain them only at our store,—The Rexall Store.
