Why free hides should cause an increase in the price of shoes is one of those things that would puzzle even a tariff expert. . The man who said he could lift the palls of smoke from above America’s larger cities and dispel the London fog by means of Phychic waves, committed suicide. There may still be chance for him to try his powers. Does it pay to advertise? An Oklahoma girl advetised for a hus- band and got him. The total ex- pease for advertising, wedding out- fit, etc,, amounted to $11.00. He died within a year leaving an insur- ance policy ot $10,000. And yet some people claim that it don’t pay to advertise. Over at Bemidji they are calling for a development convention for February 17-18. Pretty close date for the National Ski Tourney, broth- ers.

Under his. orders hereafter every saloonkeeper whose license is not revoked for selling on Sunday will have to attend church, get acquainted with the preacher, and arrange for the pastor to act as his probation officer. If he has to promise to attend prayer meetings or Sunddy school to get the preacher to act, so much the better for the saloon- keeper. \ He says it will do them good to g0 to church. The mayor says the ministers with whom he has dis- cussed the plan believe it will re- sult in good. They also say the saloonkeepers will find a hearty welcome at their churches. There is certainly not much about the scheme to commend it. Its ten- dency will be to make the saloon {mana hypocrite in ‘addition to his other vice, while turning a church into a clearing house through which something evil must be run to be clarified is bardly putting that sac- red edifice to a proper use. And anyway, if the Sunday law is violated, what right has the mayor to say the violator shall be given another chance? The best thing he can do is to obey the law as he finds it and let others take their chances. BY THE WAY. While money cannot procure hap- piness it is a great promoter of that tired feeling. Not getting what you want is often not as severe punishment as getting what you deserve. It must take a pretty good guesser to be 'a prescription clerkin a drug store, judging from the hand writing of the average physician. The man who feels that his busi- ness will not pay to advertise needs to find out what is the matter_ with his business. There never was a business yet that could not stand revision, and the man who never reorzanizes is pretty sure to have to reduce.

Mexico City, Feb. 4.—Sixty-three miners were killed and between thirty and forty injured in the Palau mine at Las Esperanzas, according to latest reports received here. The company officials' say that not more than sixty-three men: lost their lives and that not more than forty were injured in the explosion which wrecked the No. 3 shaft. Fifty-two bodies have been brought from the mine and rescuers are ex- ploring the lower levels to bring up others who are supposed to have been killed by the explosion. . The men killed were working on the third level. It was six hours after the explosion . before rescuers could reach this level and then they were compelled to work cautiously because of the gases and foul air in the tunnel. A great number of dead were found in the main tunnels. In the more re- mote tunnels of the level the injured miners were found. Little groups of men were found huddled behind walle which they may be developed.

TURKEY PREPARING FOR WAR; Buying Guns and Horses In Various European Countries. Constantinople, Feb. 4—The minis- ter of war has dispatched ten officers to various European countries to buy .horses and guns in anticipation of a war with Greece. Four torpedo boat destroyers have also been ordered from Germany. The Third army corps, stationed at Salonika, has been ordered to ctfoss the frontler the moment the forthcom- ing Greek parliament accepts deputies from Crete into its membership. Such an act, Turkey considers, would be a repudiation of Turkish suzerainty over Crete and 'a sufficlent cause for the immediate declaraticn of war. Montana Worth $3,750,000 Cash.

Informed That There ls an Insistent Demand Throughout the Country for Adoption of Relief Measures—Criticism Also Expressed Over Assignment of Inquiry to the Framers of the Last Tariff Bill. ‘Washington, Feb. 4.—Republican members are very much disturbed over the tone of letters they are receiving from their constituents on the subject of the high cost of living. Some of their correspondents are threatening and demand that congress shall adopt measures designed to bring to terms combinations that are alleged to be unlawfully maintaining a high level of prices. Some of the letters re: ceived by Western members state in substance that the people are not talk- ing about the 'raft legislative pro- gramme or the Taft policies. Discus- sion among the people, it is de- clared, is confined to the excessive prices of foodstuffs and members are informed that there is an insistent demand that congress shall adopt re- lief meagures. Criticism is also heard of the as- signment of the inquiry into the cost of living to the house committee on ways and means and the senate com- mittee on finance. These are the com- mittees that framed the Payne-Aldrich: tarift act. It is urged that members of these committees have already stated that the tariff has nothing to do with the cost of living. It is suggested that the investigation should be placed in the hands of men who will. go into it impartially and who have not already expressed opin- ions as to whether or not prices are affected by the tariff. An effort will* be made by many ‘Western Republicans'to secure the ap- pointment of a special committee to inquire into the subject. The Lodge resolution to investigate the increasing cost of living by a spe- cial committee of five senators was fa- vorably reported. to the senate by the fiiance committee. It was then re- courtmartial and prevent the white- washing, as she termed it, of both officers, has aroused nayal circles and 1t is expected that a real feud, which will have ramifications in every navy- yard in the service, has begun. The real issue in the case has been clouded, it is contended. e SAYS RUSSIA STOLE ferred to the committee on contingent expenses in order that the necessary tunds may be provided. TAKES ISSUE WITH HILL Political Economist Discusses High Cost of Living. New York, Feb. 4—The American trusts are responsible for the high cost of living, according to Dr. A. Selwyn: Brown, lecturer on foreign commerce and international trade at New York university and an economist of nation- al reputation. The recent statement of James J. Hill, railroad king, that the American people are not suffering from the high cost of living, but from the cost of high living, was submitted to Dr. Sel- wyn-Brown, who declared it manifest- 1y untrue. He said: “Living cost in the United States has increased 61 per cent in the past thirteen years, while wages have ad- vanced on an average only .a little more than 20 per cent. Living costs have advanced nearly 12 per cent more in the United States in the last de- cade than in countries with low cus- toms tariff like England. For this the trusts are entirely responsible.” PRICES RISING AT NEW YORK Heavy Decrease in Sales of Meat Fail of Desired Effect. New York, Feb. 4—Meat is still on the rise in the local market. Retail- ers in many sections of the city, espe- clally the poorer quarters, reported a falling off of from one-third to one- half in sales. Shipments, however, have been curtailed, tending to adjust supply to demand. Investigation aroused by the agita- tion against high prices and the meat abstention movement continues apace. The grand jury of Hudson county, N. J., took up the inspection of the big cold storage plants. The_visits will be continued until all have been looked into. Meanwhile additional sub- poenaes have heen issued for packing company employes. The jury is try- ing to find out if there is an agree- ment between the big warehouses to hold back supplies and maintain. the high prices. HOPE TO BETTER CONDITIONS Serles of Municipal Dance Halls Pro- posed for ‘New York. New York, Feb. 4—The establish- ment of a series of municipal dance halls in New York city, where young men and women can go without being subjected to serioustemptation, has been promised by Mayor Gaynor’s new park commissioner as the result of a report recently submitted to him by a committee on amusements for working girls appointed by the Women’s Uni- versity club. The report, following an investiga- tion of more than 500 dance halls in Upper New York, declare that condi- tions in many of these are worse than anything that can be found in Paris.

Ottawa, Ont., Feb. 4—“That Russia had stolen Alaska and the:Pacific coast Hne from Canada was Tevealed by a document - recently verified at Sitka and forwarded to the governor general at Ottawa. This document was an in- struction to a Russian officer so late as 1826 to make a secret expedition and bury along the coast secret tablets indicating discovery and possession by Russia at a far earlier date. “In this way Russia was able to establish her claim to Alaska; which she afterward sold to the' United States for $7,000,000. With American whalers -operating in the Canadian north -on both coasts Canada should lose no timerin securing possession of all land to which she is entitled.” This 1is practically what Senator Poirier contended in the Dominion sen- ate.

Marvelous as it may seem, Rex- all ¢93” Hair Tonic has grown hair on heads that were once bald. Of course 1t is understood that in none of these cases were the hair. roots dead nor had the scalp taken on a glazed shiny appearance. When the roots of the hair are entirely dead and the pores of the scalp are glazed over, we do not believe that anything can restore hair growth, When Rexall ¢93” Hair Tonic will do as’ above stated, it is not strange that we have such great faith in it and that we claim it will prevent baldness if used in time. It acts scientifically, destroying the germs which are usually responsi- ble for baldness, It penetrates to the roots of the hair, stimulating and nourishing them. Itis a most pleasant toilet necessity, is deli- cately perfumed and will not gum nor permanently stain the hair. ‘We want you to get a bottle of Rexall ¢g3” Hair Tonic and use-it as directed. If it does not relieve scalp irritation, remove dandruff, prevent the hair from falling out and promote an increased growth of hair and in eyery way give en- tire satisfaction, simply come back -and tell us and without question or. formality we will hand back to you every penny you paid.us for it. We lend our indorsement to Rexall “93” Hair Tonic and sell it on this guarantee, because we believe it is the best hair tonic ever discovered. It comesin two sizes, prices 50 cents and $1.00.

VISIT OF EMMA GOLDMAN Head Officials Declare the Institution Had Nothing to Do With the Recent Lecture of the Notorious Woman An: archist — Latter Made Assertion That Famous College Was “Honey: combed With Anarchism.” Madison, Wis., Feb. 4—Dr. Charlet R. Van Hise, president of the Univer Bity of Wisconsin, and ex-Governor W D. Hoard of Fort Atkinson, president of the state board of regents of the state university, have deemed the visit of Emma Goldman, the anarchist, tc Madison and the subsequent publicity thereof sufficient cause to issue formal statements to the effect that the uni- versity had no official connection with the lecture or her visit here. There is an anarchist club in the university, composed principally of stu dents. The club is not large, but it is influential and is said to be encouraged by several members of the university faculty. Emma Goldman said in her first lec: ture here that the University of Wis- consin was honeycombed with anarch- DR. VAN HISE. ism. In her second lecture she said that the state historical library o ‘Wisconsin coatained the best collea tion of socialistic literature in thé United States and that she had accept- ed an invitation from a member of the faculty of the University of Wisconsin to spend several weeks there next summer reading the literature. Miss Goldman’s lecture was delivered in the university Young Men’s associa- tion’s rooms. While this building is maintained by the students and an in- dependent “corporation it is in reality a university building, being in the midst of other university buildings and used exclusively by students. President Van Hise and ex-Govern: | or Hoard, in their statements, vigor- ously deny that the university, as a state institution, was the host of Miss Goldman, endorsed her ideas or had anything to do with her jnflammatory Bpeeches. - One member of the faculty who is said to have radical views has been granted a year's leave of absence and it is said in some quarters that he will not- come back to the University of ‘Wisconsin. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS Army Engineers Favor High Dam Pro- Ject Between Twin Cities. ‘Washington, Feb. 4—The report of the board of army engineers, com- posed of Majors Riche, Shunk and Bromwell, which has been in session at St. Paul for several weeks making an examination as to the practicabil- ity of the construction of a high power dam in the Mississippi between the Twin Cities, has been received at the ‘war department. It is favorable to the high dam project in the event that the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis co-operate in its construction and-convey to the United States flowage rights over their parks. If the cities will not.con- sent to such conveyance the board re- ports that it would be better for the government to destroy the power in the river and proceed with the build- ing of low dams as an aid to naviga- tion.
