Hill is doing his real life work after retiring from business, by stirring up the country and arousing — thought on the theme of conserva- tion and better farming, says Bede’s Budget. If J. J. had railroaded the way some folks farm he would be working on a section gang. A number of the brethren of the press throughout the state are com- plaining of the monopolistic meth- ods which are being used by cer- tain ready-print houses, enforcing “C. 0. D.” collections on ready- oy print packages and enforcing other high-handed orders smacking of brigandage. Just hustle a few “ads,” brethren and have all-home- print paper. You'll find it much more to your liking and less of a - profanity-producer. Don’t kick becauae you have to button your wife’s waist says the Bricelyn Sentinel. Be glad your wife has a waist and doubly glad sy you have a wife to button a waist for. Some men’s wives have no waist with buttons on to button, Some men’s wives who have waists with buttons on to button don’t care a continental whether they are buttoned or not. Some men don’t have any wives with buttons on to button, any more than a rabbit. PRINTING OFFICE HINTS. Never send articles for publication without sending thy name, for thy name often secures the publication of a worthless article. Thou shoulds’t not rap at the printing office door, for he that heareth thee rap sneereth in his sleeves and loseth time. Thou shoulds’t never read the copy on the printer’s case or hook container thereof, or the compositor may grow exceedingly wroth. Never inquire of the editor the news, for behold itis his business to give it to thee at the appointed time without asking for it. It is not right that thou shouldst ask him who is the author of an article, for it is his duty to keep such matters to himself. When thou dost enter his office, take heed of thyself that thou dost not look at what may concern thee not, for that is not meet in the sight of good breeding. Neither examine thou the proof- sheet for it is not ready to meet thine eye, that thou mayest under stand. Prefer thine own town paper to any other, and 1if thou hast not already done so, subscribe for it in : advance, and it will be well with thee and thine. OINCHOT MEN ARE NAMED President Selects New Chief and As- soclate Forester. ‘Washington, Jan. 14.—President Taft appointed Henry S.

HIGH PRICES REACH GRAVE General Trend Has Extended to the Tombstone Industry, Indianapolis, Jan. 14.—The reign of high prices for the “poor consumer” ey extends beyond death, according to re- ports made at the Indlana Retail Monument Dealers’ association in ses- sion here that the price of tombstones has increased along with that of food- i stuffs. | Monuments are highér now than { they have been for a long time, they J‘ 3 say, and it is all because the prices of ; foodstuffs and other commodities are going skyward. The monument men say they do not look for any reduction in prices until some of the other | "?flpes come down. 7 dr Dt S, !

Millionaire Expires Suddenly. Fl Paso, Tex., Jan. 14.—Captain John Hackett, milllonaire shipowner and horseman of the San Samon val ley, Cal, aged sixty-one, dropped dead E on the street, supposedly from an at’ tack of heart failure. He was the con- tractor who dredged the harbor at CONGRESS MAY REJEGT MEASURE Opposition to Taft’s Cor- poration Plan, BILL FREELY CRITICISED Members Declare a Forfeiture Clause Is Necessary in Order to Revoke Charters of Persistent Violators ot the Law—Also Suggested That In corporation Under the Proposed Acl Should Be Compulsory. ‘Washington, Jan. 14.—Now that the main features of the bill to be recom mended by the president providing for a federal incorporation act have be come known there is a disposition or the part of many members of congress | to insist not only upon a full discus sion of the measure but upon amend ments which will, in their judgment be necessary to make it effective in dealing with great corporations. In deed, it is believed that nothing short of tremendous administration influence will enact it into law. The need of a forfeiture clause, by which a corporation persistently vio lating the law can have its charter re voked, is declared to be absolutely necessary if corporations are to be ef: fectively controlled. Many congressional lawyers advo cate compulsory instead of voluntary federal incorporations. They cite as sound the general principle that if con gress has constitutional power to grant voluntary charters to corporations do ing such business it has power to com pel them to take a federal incorpora tion just as it has power to require them to comply with its laws regulat- ing interstate commerce. Wickersham Prepared Measure. In twenty-one sections Attorney General Wickersham has embodied the ideas of President Taft and his cabinet regarding a system of federal incor- poration of business enterprises. The bill is expected to be laid before con- gress next week. The principal feature will be the creation of a form of holding company which under the national charter may control business of subordinate com- panies organized under state laws. Proper limitations will be provided against the embarkation of any such corporations in the business of dis- counting bills, receiving deposits and {ssuing notes. There will be no com- pulsory provision in the bill, it is said. The corporations will not be required to take out a national charter if they see fit to do business under the state laws instead. In case a national corporation shall desire to acquire the property of state corporations it will be reauired that it shall hold not less than a majority of the capital stock of such corporations. Any corporation that has more than one kind of stock will be authorized to confer the right to choose the directors or any class to the exclusion of others. TRAFFIC IS INTERRUPTED Blizzard Sweeps Over Greater Part of Wisconsin. Milwaukee, Jan. 14.—Milwaukee and the greater portion of the state is experiencing a blizzard which is in- terfering with trains on the steam and electric railroads. The forenoon passenger train on the Sheboygan branch of the Chicago and Northwestern road .was aban- doned and a passenger train on the Madison-Portage branch of the Chi- cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad is stalled in one of the cuts which is filled with drifted snow. The street railway in Milwaukee is having a hard time in an endeavor to keep traffic moving. Suburban elec- tric trains are running irregularly. SAY NEW TAX LAW IS BAD Manufacturers Declare It Interferes With Private Business. Chicago, Jan. 14—A convention of | delegates from manufacturers’ asso- ! ciations of various states has opened i here to discuss the new federal cor- poration tax law. It is held under the auspices of the Illinois Manufactur- ers’ association. The publicity clause in the statute, which calls for periodic filings of statements of the firm’s condition with the treasury officials, is the point of at- tack, according to John M. Glenn, sec: retary of the association. The conten- tion is that this interferes with a com- pany’s private business. Fire Routs Out Chorus Girls. Chicago, Jan. 14.—Many theatrical people, most of them scantily clad, were driven into the snow in the streets by a fire in the Richmond ho- tel. Many were rescued by the fire- men. The majority of those driven out were chorus girls. The fire was promptly extinguished with little dam- age done. Boy Saves Passenger Train. Laporte, Ind., Jan. 14—Carl Wasch er, a farmer boy, fifteen years old stopped a Baltimore and Ohio passen ger train within ten feet of a burning bridge one mile west of Weltsboro, Ind., by signaling the engineer with a red handkerchief.

New York, Jan. 14—“You have made a very poor run with the train you have, considering its size and im- portance. What has been the cause of this poor time? Want you to try and do better, as your train is wanted in New York just as soon as possible Section 62 is right behind you.” This order, or “call down,” from the division superintendent of the New York Central railroad was introduced at Ossiningat théTnquestto Ax The Te: sponsibility for the wreck near Croton- on-the-Hudson recently, in which Spen- cer Trask, the New York banker, lost his life.

ROBBERS CHOKE NURSE TO DEATH Steal SIlverfiare Worth Ten Thousand Dollars, Millbrook, N. Y., Jan. 14—Sarah Bramer, nurse maid in the home of Barnes Compton, was chloroformed and strangled to death by three bur- glars who robbed the house of $10,000 worth of jewelry and silverware. In the same room in which Miss Bramer slept was the three-year-old daughter of the family, who had been left in the nurse’s charge while Mr. and Mrs. Compton were spending the night in New York. There was every indication. that the woman had been first chloroformed and then strangled with a rope twisted about her neck. It is believed she came from under the influence of the chloroform and began a struggle to save the little girl from harm and the burglars killed her. The interior of the house was in great disorder. Compton is a financier ‘with large holdings in New York. A large collection of silverware con: taining several hundred pieces was carted away by the robbers.

DRESSED LIKE A BEGGAR Investigation Reveals, However, That He Held Notes of Some of the Larg- est Business Firms in the Twin Cit- les—His Manner of Living Like That Found in Many Characters ot Fiction. . St. Paul, Jan. 14—Papers indicat- Ing that J. C.. Lounsberry, the aged recluse who was found dead in his room at 64 Summit avenue, was prob- ably worth considerably more than $100,000, that there was some dark secret in connection with his life and that he had fears that he was about to be killed were found by Fred Car- penter, secretary to Coromer D. C. Jones, when the man’s trunk was searched. Invedtigation of the room in which he died and inquiry into the habits of the man .also seem to indicate that he has been dead a?ca last-Saturday night. And it is possible that the gas which escaped in his room was not responsible for his death. No marks of viblence were found on his body, but the discoveries made by the cor- oner’s assistants make the case ex- tremely mysterious. That the man was a miser and that his manner of living was like that found in many characters of fiction, but seldom seen in life, 18 shown by the agreement he made with Mrs. F. Foulk, his landlady, when he took the room last September. “I will take the room und pay promptly for it if you will never pass the threshold or let any one else pass it,” he told her. Attended to His Own Work. Lounsberry enforced this rule rigid- ly, even making his own bed, doing his own washing and mending and slipping in and out of the room at odd hours day and night as though afraid some one might see inside. Entries in notebooks, of which a trunk almost full was found, showed that he lent money in sums ranging as high as $15,000 and that he held notes on some of the largest business firms in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Members of these firms, when ques- tloned, said that they knew little of his' life, except that he was a queer character and was regarded as a miser. “I knew him well by sight,” said Mr. Harrington of the Van Dusen- Harrington company, Minneapolis. “He would come to our office looking Uke a beggar. He would almost force us to take his money for our notes. Ang if the notes fell due at 7 o’clock on a certain day he would be at the foot of the elevator five minutes be- fore that time.” Mr. Clark of the Shevlin-Carpenter Lumber company, Minneapolis, said that his firm had borrowed lots of | money from the aged man under cir- cumstances similar to those of the Van Dusen-Harrington company. PENITENTIARY HIS REFUGE Negro Murderer Rushed to Prison for Fear of Mob. Leavenworth, Kan.,, Jan. 14—Fear of a mob reported to have been form- ing for the purpose of lynching Jenks Proctor, a negro murderer, caused Sheriff Brown to rush the man to the state prison at Lansing for safekeep- ing. “Plung” Murray, another negro, was also taken to the prison, although there were no overt threats against his life. He was recently convicted of assaulting a white woman. % Proctor shot and killed W. G. De- vinish, a policeman, and wounded Pat- rick J. Sweeney, another policeman, following an attempt of the officers to arrest Proctor. SHIP DRIFTING HELPLESSLY Message in Bottle Tells of Sad Plight H of Norwegian Craft. New Orleans, Jan. 14.—That ‘the crew of nineteen men of the Norwe- glan ship Farschund were starving and helpless and the ship drifting uncon- trolled is the information in a message in a bottle just found.

UNDERWOOD WINS CONTEST Elected President of Minnesota State Agricultural Society. St. Paul, Jan. 14—J. M.

Lisbon, Jan. 14—King Manuel has left the palace for his country home at Villa Vicosa, the move being taken in deference to the wishes of his ad- visers, who think it will be easier to guard the king in his isolated country residence than in the palsce. DOUBLED IN LAST TEN YEARS Trade Between United States and Canada Increasing. ‘Waslington, Jan. 14.—Trade be- tween Canada and the United States made its highest record in the calen- dar year just ended and has more than doubled in the last ten years. In no earlier year have either imports from or_exports to that country equalled the record of 1909. Imports from Can- ada have increased from $35,500,000 in 1899 to approximately $88,000,000 in 1909 and exports thereto from $86,000,-" 000 to about $190,000,000, the estimate for 1909 being based upon official fig- ures of eleven months, recently pré- sented by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. No other important country takes a8 large a share of its imports from the United States as does Canada. The official figures of that government show "that of its total imports in the fiscal year 1909 60.4 per cent were from the United States, compared with 46.08 per cent in 1889, ONLY TWO OF CREW KNOWN TO BE SAFE Twenty-nine Others on [ll Fated Vessel Probably Lost. Marshfield, Ore.,, Jan. 14—Of the thirty-one men on the {ll fated steam- er Czarina, which struck on the Coos bay bar and was practically wrecked, two have been rescued. Harry Kent- gell, first assistant engineer, was picked up unconscious in the break- ers and Second Assistant Engineer J. Robinson was washed ashore. Some hours after Kentzell was res- cued he regained consciousness suf- ficiently to state that Captain Dungan and Harold Mills, the only passenger; had been bound to one of the masts. Robinson added that when the for- ward mast, to which he and five oth- ers had climbed, went by the board, the master, first officer, Mills and two seamen were still alive in the after -| rigging. These, Robinson said, were the only ones left on the ship. KILLS BEAR WITH BIRDSHOT Boy at Close Range Has to Fight for His Life. ‘Wilkesbarre, Pa., Jan. 14—Herbert Kester, a nine-year-old boy of Overton, Brandford county, staggered home with the skin of a 400-pound bear, the largest shot in this state this season, which he killed after a desperate en- eounter, using a gun loaded with bird shot at a distance of ten feet. He found the bear asleep some miles from Forksville, in dense brush, and got his first shot at a distance of ten feet. The bear charged him at once. Kes: ter waited until the bear was almost upon him, thrust the gun in its face and fired. He jumped backward, re- loaded and fired the third shot with the muzzle against its breast, jumped away again, put in another shell and killed it with the fourth shot. “‘NINETY-THREE” The Story of a Famous Name and How It Originated. The foremost dermatologist in France, Dr. Sabourand of Paris, and Professor Unna, Hamburg, Germany, discovered that a microbe caused baldness. To prope their theory, Dr. Sabourand infected a guinea pig with some of these microbes and ina compara. tively short time the animal was denuded of every hair that was on its body. Some eminent histologists and chemists were employed by the United Drug Co., Boston‘ Mass., to find the means of destroying these microbes and a remedy that would create a new growth of hair where the hair roots had not been entirely destroyed. After months of study, experi- menting and research- work, they discovered what they claimed would do what ‘was demanded. To- unquestionable prove their theory, 100 leading druggists, located in as many different cities, were requested to each furnish the name of a responsible person suffering from falling hair and baldness. Each of these 100 persons was furnished three bottles of preparation with a request to give it a thorough trial and report || results. Five of these people failed to report, Two declared they had been bald for years; that their hair follicles had long been closed, and their scalps were smooth and glossy, Ninety-three of the 100 sent in enthusiastic reports, stated that they were delighted with the hair- restoring qualities of the prepara- tion, and éxpressed sincere thanks for the wonderful benefits brought about by its use. In commemora- tion of this, the new preparation was named Rexall ¢93” Hair Tonic. we sell this remedy with the dis- tinct understanding that it is free of cost to the user in every case where it does not completely re- move dandruff, stimulate the hair follicles, revitalize the hair roots, stop the hair from falling out, grow new hair and make the scalp free from irritation, Rexbll <“93” Hair Tonic comes in two sizes; prices, 50 cents and $r.00.
