have a photograph of Lou Dillon kick-

"Wildcat mining stocks are not al-

together useless—or worthless eith-

er," said a broker who handles

cheap mining stocks the other day

to a reporter. "A man has just tele-

phoned to offer me $50 for enough

mining stocks to have a face value

Of $50,000. He wasn't particular what

mining stocks he got if they only had

a face value of $50,000. .1 closed the

cleal and will make money on it too.

What did'he want with such stocks?

Well, I haven't the slightest doubt

that he is getting ready to go

into the bankruptcy court and wants

to show his creditors where his mon-

ey has been dropped. We often get

such requests and are usually able

to till them." During our brief to-

journ n the great camp of Kendall

we have learned that the word "wild-

cat" is not in the vocabulary of the

average citizen but that almost with-

out exception the mining stocks of

this great camp are worth one hun-

dred cents on the dollar.

Soirne Of those Lewistown auto-

mobilists might take a little spin up

to Kendall the greatest gold mining

camp in the United States, and take

a long hungry gaze at the spot where

pot. Bring Editor Stout and Ph,

Dog Doctor along too for it doesn't

The 'American , Protective Tariff

League have taken a little swat - at

the Taft boom by making the startl-

An exchange says that a man by

the name of Raatz recently committ-

ed suicide by way of the carbolic acid

route. That was certanly rough on

Raatz.

Notwithstanding the fact that it

DEMOCRATS ARE JOYOUS,

Apublican Factional Fight in Ohio

May Mean Victory.

Cleveland. May 15.—The rescinding

of the call for the republican love

feast at Columbus and the consequent

failure of the Tuft and Foraker fac-

tions to get together has greatly en-

couraged democratic leaders in Ohio.

They are of the °Mimi' that they

'lave an excellent chance of, electing

Senator Foraker's successor andfcito

the existing make-up of the legisla-

ture as proof. The present Ohio

house consists 'of 62 republicans, 57

demoCrats and, two independents.

The senate has 18 republicans, 18

democrats and one independent. nito

is classed as a democrat. This gives

the republicans 80 votes, against 78

for the democrats and independents.

The next senator will be elected by

the legislature chosen at the next elec-

tion, and thre are so many districts

in which the vote is close that it may

safely be said that the democrats

have at least as fair a prospect of

overcoming the present republican

lead as the republicans have of in-

creasing it.Five Of the present republican rep-

repsentatives were elected by Plurali-

ties of less than 100. One had a mar-

gin of three vote only: one was

elected by font' votes and one by 12

voteg. The man elected by four

voted for himself and he has three

sons who voted for their father.

Three democrats had pluralities of

less than 1130.In the senate the republicans have

One man who, was chosen by a plur-

ality of 50, while the smallest plural-

RAZORLESS SHAVE! NEXT!

Use Newly Invented 'Paste and

Beard Will Rub Off.

London, May 17.—There is conster-

nation among the barbers. of Eng-

land over the invention of a London-

er named Witherington. He has

made a paste which removes the

beard, without the use of a razor,

in ten minutes.The paste makes the hair so brit-

tle that it can be rubbed off clean

with a wet sponge.No "skin trouble" is guaranteed

and the performance is simply a part

of washing the face upon arising in

the morning.The following advantages are

claimed for the paste:No punctilious barber to ask if

the razor is sharp enough.

. No second man waiting to brush

your hat and ask with his manner

for a tip.You rub on the paste, 'wipe it off

with the sponge and presto! You go

down to coffee and rolls looking like

a man fresh from the hands of the

best barber in London.The cost is about one cent a shave

and tip yourself.The new invention is enjoying It
