Wet Hands Made Fatal Connection
Winfield, Kan —The mystery of the
death of Miss Ella Beinhorn, whose
body was found in the bath room of
her home here was solved when it was
discovered she met her death from a
charge of electricity from a defective
fixture. Miss Beinhorn was cleaning
the bath tub and in turning on the
light with wet hands formed a com
plete circuit. It was found that the
service wires in the block were in con.
tact with the city ight wires, carrying
600 volts and that the bath room fix-
ture was short circuited.
Mayor Killed by Lightning

mayor of Scranton, was struck and

which may be perfectly apparent to everybody

A copy of (he skit fell under Senator Bever-
Idge's eye. It amused him immensely. He hung
it on the wall of his room and showed it to call-
ers. Finally one day it occurred to him that
Rockyboy and his band had done him a service
of amusement and he concluded that turn about
was only fair play, and so he thought he would
look into Rockyboy's case and find out how it
was that for years congress had refused to go to
the aid of some of its wards who were at the
point of starvation at least six months of the
year. The senator apparently thought thgt it
wouldn't hurt the members of the Rockyboy band
to have a few square meals, even though they
were not the most deserving reds in the land.
The senator did look into the case, and found
that Rockyboy and his wandering Montana band
were worthy of consideration. He made Rocky-
boy's cause his own from that hour, and it was
not long before a bill "For the relief of the wan-
dering American-born Indians of Rockyboy s
band in Montana," was passed by the senate of
the United States
A few years ago Robert Baker of Brooklyn
represented the Sixth New York district In con-
gress. Mr. Baker's career was somewhat stormy
He was known as a Socialist, but he was elected
on the Democratic ticket. Mr. Baker's fellow
members said of him that he was erratic, efter-
vescent. somewhat noisy, but always sincere."
There were scores of men who sat in the
lower house of congress during Mr. Baker's term
who hoped, perhaps for sheer curiosity's sake,
that he would be sent to congress again In order
that he might finish a speech which he once be-
gan but was not allowed to bring to an end.
The blocking of the ending of the Brooklyn
member'* address fell In this wise Mr Baker
had spoken on the single tax system and on the
Iniquities of all other kinds of taxation. He had
been given 20 minutes to unburden himself on a
bill "To amend the law relating to taxation in
the District of Columbia." When the 20 minutes
were up the chairman's gavel hit the desk with
a thump that shivered one of Bakers best sen
tencea.
The Brooklynlte begged for ten minutes more,
but the member who was In charge of the de-
bate on behalf of the Democratic minority cru
elly cut him off. but. relenting, allowed him one
minute In which to continue This gratuity
made Baker look as If he felt insulted, but for
the good of bis cause he grasped the fleeting mo-
ment and did what he could with It
He told Mr. Uabcock. chairman of the District
of Columbia committee, that
when he proposed to tax a
man for the privilege of do-
ing business he made a
criminal of every man who
thought he had a right to
work at his trade without
being taxed for the work-
ing. and who for conscience sake kept at his
work and refused to pay the government levy.
This view that Baker took of the inherent
right of a man to work at peddling or anything
else without paying for the privilege was not
new. It had been advanced occasionally in con-
gress, and frequently elsewhere, by men of a cer-
tain bent of mind. Mr. Baker, however, took the
last 30 seconds of the minute allotted to him to
spring something novel and it was for the finish-
ing of that half-minute speech that certain of the
congressmen whose curiosity was piqued are
anxious.
The Brooklyn member told his fellow mem-
bers pointblank and without any explanatory
reasons that they were guilty of causing the
deaths of 450 out of every 1,000 babies that were
born. Naturally, after being arraigned for whole-
sale murder in this way, the members were anx-
ious to know along what lines their guilt lay.
Baker, however, paused after he had accused his
fellows of being modern Herods in the matter of
the slaughter of the innocents, and before he
had a chance to show a willingness to let tbe
members know whether they were sending in-
fants to the grave by fire, steel or the rope, his
time was up and he was shut off by the chairmant
of the committee of the whole, and as a result
a great murder mystery still hangs over the
house of representatives.
- When the Grand Duke Sergius was killed Mr
Baker made a speech in the house which indi-
rectly attempted to Justify the throwing of the
bomb the explosion of which brought death to the
duke. There is a good deal of conservatism in
the south. The southern members didn't like Mr.
Baker's remarks on the assassination of Sergius.
Representative John W. Maddox of Georgia
when given a chance to think even momentarily.
Is something of a purist in the matter of lan-
guage He became so angry at Baker's remarks,
however, that he forgot there was such a thing
as grammar on the face of the earth. Before
Mr Baker was half-way down into his seat, Mad
dox was on his feet shouting in trumpet tones
"The Democratic party don't stand for this
assassination business, now nor never," a noble
if enlgiratic utterance which brought forth rap
turous applause alike from Democrats and Re-
publicans.
To Robert Baker Is due a large part of the
credit for the legislation which prevents mem
bers of congress from accepting passes from
railroad companies. Baker was known In con-
gress ns Anti-pass Baker, and while the name
was given him as a Joke he carried It proudly and
unquestionably he made campaign material out
of it. He attacked the pass accepting propensi-
ties of his fellows, constantly asking the pointed
question how they could be consistent advocates
of the peoples rights as against the railroads
while holding out their bands to the railroads
(or fa to ra
The Brooklyn man received a
pass from a railroad company. H«
sent it back by the next mail and
the letter he sent with it was of th«
kind called vitriolic. If Baket
didn't stir the conscience of congress in the mat
ter of taking railroad passes he did stir the feel
ings of the public. The pass matter as a result
of Representative Baker's agitation was dis
cussed in the public press more than it ever had
been discussed before, and the way was paved
for the anti-pass provision in the railroad rate
bill.
Robert Baker was not re-elected. He was giv
en a position, however, which paid him $4,500 a
year. He deliberately resigned from this well
paying position because he believed that while
holding it he could not consistently preach cer
tain of his beliefs concerning the methods of
government.
Henry M. Goldfogle, representative in con-
gress from New York city, in a speech in the
house gave those of his colleagues wlfose knowl-
edge of history does not extend to details an
Interesting chapter concerning a Jewish patriot
of the revolutionary period who gave up his
money to help the government out of financial
straits. Mr. Goldfogle, like the generous one of
a past generation, is a Jew, and he took a proper
pride in the deed of the man of his faith.
In some respects this story of the giving of
money to the government by Hyman Salomon,
the Jewish citizen, is one of the most remark-
able which ever has been called to the attention
of congress. The country does not know much
about it. It ought to know all about it and it
ought to appreciate not only the generosity of the
patriot but the action of the patriot's descend-
ants who gave congress one of the biggest sur-
prises It has ever received.
Hyman Salomon, like Robert Morris, helped
the government out liberally when it was in finan-
cial straits and when there seemed little likeli-
hood that any of his money would be returned
Robert Morris has a place in every school his-
tory, and the boy who doesn't know about the
friend of liberty who impoverished himself for
the government stands below the foot of his his
tory class.
Neither the school books ror the encyclopo
dias seem to have given much attention to Hy-
man Salomon, who parted with his shekels for
the benefit of Uncle Sam. In his speech in con-
gress Mr. Goldfogle did something for the mem
ory of the financier and even more for the fame
of the financier's descendants. The house
learned that in tbe years that had gone four dif-
ferent congresses expressed a willingness to pay
to the heirs of Mr. Salomon the money which
he advanced to the government without secur-
ity. The part of the New York representative's
statement that fairly astounded his colleagues
was his declaration that every time that congress
had expressed its desire to give Hyman Salo-
mon's heirs the money their ancestor had ad
vanced the> refused to take one cent of the cash,
saying that if their forerunner's loan was in-
spired by patriotism they desired to show that
his descendants held bis patriotism as a heri
tage.
It is said that the records of congress show
practically uo cases which may run aa parallel to
this refusal to take money to the ownership of
which there was everv legal and moral right.

Chicago, 111.—"I suffered from a fa-
male weakness and stomach trouble,
and I went to the
store to get a bottle
of Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable
Compound, but the
clerk did not want
to let me have it—
be said it was no
good and wanted me
to try something
else, but knowing
all about it I in-
sisted and finally
. - . - got it, and I am so
glad I did, for it has cured me.
"I know of so many cases where wo-
men have been cured by Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound that I can
say to every suffering woman if that
medicine does not help her, there is
nothing that will."—Mrs. Jaxetzkj,
2963 Arch St., Chicago, 111.
This is tbe age of substitution, and
women who want a cure should insist
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound just as this woman did, and
not accept something else on which the
druggist can make a little more profit.
Women who are passing through this
critical period or who are suffering
from any of those distressing ills pe-
culiar to their sex should not lose sight
of the fact that for thirty years Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
.which is made from roots and herbs,
has been the standard remedy for fe-
male ills. In almost every community
you will find women who have been
restored to health by Lydia E. Pink,
