However, hops can give even ft woman the go-by, when it conies to doing the unexpected things, and what either will do next is not known now, never was, and perhaps never will be.

Name Add to rnr., , TREASURY II Durkee Heirs Have No Show to Collect Anything, as Lata Senator From Wisconsin Had Little. BANKS WITH COOK'S MENTAL DISCOVERT OF NORTH POLE Said to Have Secured $50,000 From Heirs Years Ago and Scheme Was Revived not Long Ago. united muss leased wire. Washington, Feb. 12. A hoax that deserves to rank with Barnum's "Car diff giant" and Dr. Cook's mental dis covery of the North Folo has just called forth a warning from the Treasury De partment to credulous investors gener ally. It concerns a most alluring story of $64,644,000 in railroad bonds, with accrued interest since 1864, supposed to be gathering dust in Uncle Sam's strong box and waiting to be distributed among the heirs of Charles Durkee, one timo Senator from Wisconsin, and ter ritorial governor of Utah, who died in 1870. More than ten yeirs after Durkee 's death, Leonard C, Blnisdell, his nephew by marriage, conceived the idea that J the former Senator , had at one time bought up an entire bond issue of first mortgnge bonds of the Pacific railroads and had them turned over to the United States to guarantee completion of a transocntinental rail line. Col, F. A. Rcove, acting solicitor for the Treasury Department, believes that Blaisdell was merely suffering from some sort of hallucination, but since that time his story has been used to sell "stock" in the visionary claim. Blaisdell has not been heard of in Washington for years and officials here believe he is dead. Crooked Bunch, To give color to their scheme the pro moters at one time brought suit in the Federal courts of Utah, but it was thrown out of court and in sustaining the lower tribunal on an appeal Federal Judge Philips said: "A syndicate of promoters was form ed. They devised the schame of sell ing shares of stock in the chances of success. It was represented that if the suit were won the result would be over $200,000,000 for division among the shareholders. These agents accordingly disposed of Borne of the shares at tho proportion of 50 for $V in money, and when the bait staled they offerod the still more alluring temptation of 100 shares for $1 in money, and the evi dence shows that they succocded in drawing from their dupes about $50,000." More Chances Being Offered. ' For years after this theco was noth ing more heard of the claim but lately Col. liecvo has learned that some 50 to 1 chances are being offered and that oiio man recently parted with $1,900 to the promoters. Though the names of these promoters arc not made public it is said that they represent nnd are working for a con tingent fee of 50 per cent of the money recovered and need a few thousand dol lars to carry on tho ease. They also tell that Secretary McVeagh admitted tho claims and was ready to sign "the papers" but that his term expired while ho was looking for his pen. As a matter of truth no Biich bonds wore ever in the Treasury Further more Durkee was far from wealthy and nowhete in his will or other papers did ho mnko mention of any swollen for tune ho had placed in the hands of the government.

The woman who does not wish to look out of date pays attention to her coiffure, hat and neck dressing. It is not necessary to adopt extreme styles in any direction, rather one should select good average modes likely to Irst. There are many spectacular arrangements of the hair, but they all closely follow the contour of the head and the prettiest have the front locks softly arranged to almost or quite conceal the ear. The waving done on big rolls so that the hair ap pears to be naturally curly. There is, of course the flat, plastered effect, where the hair lies in two drapes or scallops, the lower one well over the ear, but this is only occasionally be coming. New Hats. Hats are small, smaller, and bo close that the wearer appears to have for gotten her headgear altogether in many instances. There is great diversity of ntctu 8707-5081 The above designs are by The McCall Company, New Yoric, Designers an Makers oi McCall Patterns.

All hats are posed very flat on tho head. Tho now Bail ois resemblo derbies, and are trimmed oithor with littlo ruffles of black moire ribbon completely covering the crown, or with a cuff of moire, wired to stand out from tho crown and finishing in a small bow, ends and loops of equal length, directly in front. At tho back of this hat below the brim is a lurgc I iow u f similar form, and a half wreath of tiny multi colored blossoms circles the centre of tho moiro cuff at the Bides and buck.

A 1 This Home-Made Cough Syrup Will Surprise You Casts Little, bat there Is R th ing Better t may Price. Fully Guaranteed J Here is a home-made remedy that takes hold of a cough almost instantly, and will usually conquer an ordinary cough in 24 hours. This recipe makes a pint enough for a whole family. You couldn't buy as much or as good ready made cough syrup for $2.50. Mix one nint of granulated sutrar with pint of warm water, and Btir 2 1 minutes, rut 2Mi ounces of Finex (fifty ) cents worth) in a pint bottle, and add the Sugar Svrup. This keens perfectly and has a pleasant taste children like it. Braces up the appetite and is slightly laxative, which helps end a cough. You probably know the medical value of pine in treating bronchial asthma, bronchitis, spasmodic croup and whoop ing cough, l'inex is a most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, rich in guaiacol and other natural healing pine elements. Other preparations will not work ill this combination. The prompt results from this inexpen sive remedy have made friends for it in thousands of homes in the United States and Canada, which explains why the plan has been Imitated often, but never successfully. A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded, goes with this preparation. Your druggist has Pincx ,or will pet it for you. If not, send to The Pincx Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind. what alike, unless they aro big or clum sily overtrimnied. That kind of a hat spoils any dress, howover modish its lines. A riot of color is predicted for headweor in some qunrtors, but excopt for the uso of small multi-colored flow ers there is as yet no evidence of this. Black moire is the favorite hat material and crowns or wholo hats of it are everywhere in evidence on smart wear ers. Transparent brims, also the up standing frills of lace and tune so much worn last fall have sprung up again in tho way mushroom millinory fashions have a way of doing. The Breton Cape. The Breton Cape is again to the fore and is cortaiuly a most comfortable gar ment except for walking. It is simply hemmed at the edge, and is gatherod in ample fullness to a wide Bhaped yoke which occasionally supplements this, but never Booms to really belong to the garment. The Vogue of Jet Jet is decidedly modish for both hat and dress trimmings. The points of tulle draporicB are weighted with jot drops and elaborate jot motives which rosemble flower forms form heavy cen ters for lacey groups, , Favorite Blouses. The very full puffy blouBo of taffota or of white chiffon cloth, which is about twice as heavy as chiffon, are first favorites to which tho material is gathered and with looso sleeves that end in wido turnover cuffs at tho writ. Tho fronts are also gatherod and there are no armholes. now net blouse has two thlcknosses of the material and is fastonod with ordinary pearl buttons as largo ns a twenty fivo cont pioco. Tho turnover cuffs aro fastonod with two of these buttons, used as links, and joined by strands of silk cord. Net Gowns. Very charming aro many of the not gowns shown, especially those made with tho new FrencH nets with artistic printed borders. Scotch plaid will bo very much worn the coming season. Paris has ben using it during the win ter as aprons, snshes and girdles, cuffs and collars, aa well as for skirts topped bv coats of plain mutcriul. Ribbons play an importiint part in new fashions. They are Btriped and plaided but raroly flowered, though floworcdploce silks ar extremely fashionable. Roman ribbon is so modish that probably few people will escape wearing a piece of it. The dull shades are especially pretty, but it seems to bo tho lively ones that arc catching on. LINCOLN On the anniversary of Lincoln's birth dray it Is fitting to draw a business text from his wonderful lifo. "I am always for the man who works," he said and his lifo fulfilled his words. lie believed In bis country and that there was no limit to its great possi bilities, This sanio spirit Is driving men for ward to great achievements all over America, Temporary setbacks do not dim the mil rit of iirourcsB.

No literature that Is written today is so typical of the country and Its spirit Hs the advertisements which tin- pear from day to day In tho live news i.aners like Tho Capital Journal. They aro the voice of the worker call ing on the world to come and see what he hns done.

REDUCED SALARIES E Finley and Clanton Got Cut From $3100 to $2400 Per Tear, But New Offices Are Created. EVANS RESIGNS ONE JOB TO ACCEPT ANOTHER Statement Made That Suggestions of Governor to Keep Total Down to $100,000 Will Be Followed. The State Game and Fish Commis sion, at a meeting held behind closed doors yesterday afternoon, virtually re organized two departments. Appointment of their own deputies by the newly-named master fish and state gome wardens was provided. Two new positions, to which Game Warden Finley and Fish Wardon Clanton were ; appointed at reduced salaries, were cre ated, while C. H. Evans, member if the commission, was made state game war den and Theodore Opsund, clerk of the commission, was appointed master fish wardon. Salaries Increased. The increase in aggregate salaries is 1000 a year. Mr. Finley was appointed superin tendent of the educational and biolog ical department and R. E. Clautou will bo superintendent of hatcheries. Both positions were created at the meeting. The Balary of each will be $2400 a year. Their, salaries as master wardens were $3100 each. Before the mooting the governor sent the commission a letter recommending an annual saving over the expenditures of laBt year of $37,500 and during the meeting he accepted the resignation of , 0. H. Evans, as a commissioner, so he could be appointed game warden. It was announced that Mr. Opsund would serve as clerk of the commis sion, as well as fill the office of master fiBh warden. ' Evans Warden. Mr. Evans remained a momber of the commission, actively participating in the deliberations until it came time to name him state game warden.

Commislsoner Clifford moved that Mr. Evans be appointed stato game warden, and the motion was carried by unanimous vote. Announcement was mado that the now game warden and the new master fish wardon would employ all field men, ' which conBtitute the lalrgor part of the employes. Tho plan considered at a former meet ing to divido the stato into four dis tricts was not adopted, although the game and fish wardens were Informed tlioy could do it if they liked. Will Cut Expenses. It also was announced thnt the sug gestion of Governor WoBt that the ex ponses bo cut would be adoptod. Whilo evidently not pleased with the reduction of their salaries, Messrs. Clanton and Finley said they had noth ing to say on the subject. Both indi cated they would continue their work. Mr. Opsund said he could attend to the duties of master fish warden and those of clork without any trouble Governor West said ho had no one under consideration as a successor of Mr. Evans as commissioner, but of one thing be was certain, and thnt was ex penditures could be reduced in tho de partment. Floyd Bilyou, chairman of the commission, said tho cost of main taining the department would be ma terially reduced. M. J, Kinney opposed the appoint ment of Mr. Clanton as superintendent of hatcheries, and George IT. Kelly voted against tho creation of the office. SALEM DRTJGGISE HAS VALUABLE AGENCY J. C.
