For this purpose calendars have been made. In purchasing them one should use judgment and good taste, as they are to be one's companion for 365 successive days. Besides, the making of beautiful calendars has been a fine art, and many of them are worth preserving. As it is becoming more customary to exchange small remembrances on New Year's, a happy suggestion is to offer a calendar. The assortment in the various shops is quite large and varied, and runs from the small brass desk calendars to the large, really decorative wall attornments. A pretty sample of art is found in one oblong cardboard decorated with a landscape In water color, with a small calendar attached to one corner. The beauty of this one is that the art is really worth preserving, and can, after the expiration of the year, be framed.

NEW HOMICIDE ESTABLISHED Lexington, Ky., Dec. 28. Up to Sunday afternoon. 14 persons have been kiled' in Kentucky since Christmas Day morning in fights or coldblooded murders. The tabulation is as follows: Fight between striking miners and United States Marshals at Stearns. Six men killed two officers and four miners. At Hopkinsville, Frederick Daugherty killed James Hearin during dispute. Lynching is feared in this instance. At Sturgis. in Western Kentucky, Zack Price and Thomas Williams, brothers-in-law, quarreled over a trivial matter and fought a duel, killing each other. In the same section Emanuel Gavin killed William Boyd. At Grayson in a three-cornered duel between Town Marshal Frank Prather CONSERVATIVES NOT PLEASED OVER KNOX SELECTION (Continued From Page One.) take the same ground Mr. Knox has occupied during his senate service. Radicals Strengthened. There is little doubt but that the radical element in the senate will be strengthened after March 4 next. The conservatism of Mr. Allison of Iowa, yields to the radicalism of Albert Cummins. Whether Charles P. Taft or Theodore E. Burton comes to the senate from Ohio, he will be more of a radical than Senator Foraker. From Kansas another recruit will come to the radicals in the person of Mr. Bristow, who defeated Senator Long. In the retirement of Hansbrough of North Dakota, the conservatives lose another valuable member. The remaining new men are more or less unknown. Generally, however, those selected from the Western states are of the younger and more progressive type. The word progressive in this connection means a fine contempt for the traditions of the senate and a demand for action along lines that will speedily bring. results these young men believe are demanded by the people. Will Have to Fight. If the conservatives of the senate are to continue their hold, it will only be after a hard fight, and after they have convinced the new senators that the road to success is to be found only by adhering to the precedents established through years of service and experience gained by painstaking application to senatorial duties. In teaching the youngsters this discipline the influence of Mr. Knox will be missed for the Pennsylvania senator had become an adept in pouring oil on the senatorial waters whenever they became troubled. Postal Bank Controversy. The struggle now on in the senate over the postal savings bank bill promises to be long and strenuous. Although this measure was approved in the republican platform and endorsed by Mr. Taft, and other republican speakers in the late campaign, it is being bitterly opposed by some of the influential members of both houses. Despite this opposition, it probably will get through the house with comparative ease. It seems pretty certain also, that it will receive a majority vote in the senate, but only aft

Nothing held back or in reserve. H. C. HASEMEIER CO.

RECORD IS IN KENTUCKY and Grant and Stephen Stamper, Prather killed Grant and fatally wounded Stephen. At. Mt. Zion, James Leary went home intoxicated and his sister, Mrs. Ieta Detton, upbraided him. He killed his sister and then committed suicide. At Xicholasville Saturday in a fight between an insane man, whose name could not be learned, and officers, the insane man was killed and two of the officers shot. At Hopkinsville five negroes were shot and fatally wounded during a general fight last night. In Bath county, Henry Jackson fatally shot his father, Thomas Jackson, when the latter remonstrated with him for drunkenness. In Fleming County, Lee Hiuton fatally Wounded Charles Gilmore. Breathitt county has not yet been heard from. er a discussion which will be continued as long as it is possible to postpone final action. This measure accehtuates the differ ences that exist in the senate between the conservatives and the radicals, although a number of senators who favor the bill ordinarily would be classed with the older group and not aligned with the radicals. When the postal savings bank bill first came up for consideration Mr. Aldrich, who for years has been the recognized republican leader of the senate, believed it could be defeated. Recent events, however, suggest that the Rhode Island senator has seen a new light, and that he has been compelled to admit that the forces advocating the measure are superior to those which can be mustered against itMr. Aldrich and his lieutenants will make a strong fight for continued senate leadership when the next congress convenes, and he Is determined nothing shall be done' at this session calculated to shear him of any of his prestige as the controlling factor in that body. It is believed he has canvassed the senate and knows the postal savings bank bill will pass. Therefore, he will not go to the extreme of antagonizing it, but will use his influence to have it amended in some material particulars. If he is successful in this maneuver, the credit for the final shape of the measure will be given him and the postal savings bank law will be. so far as any such law could be, in accordance with his desires. Eastern senators generally are opposed to postal savings banks as inimical to the general banking system of the country. Western senators are urging it as a necessary aid to the masses of the people as giving them a safe depository for their funds, whence they can be drawn in times of stress. Two or three of the old-line senators from the west, who would not permit themselves to be classed as radicals, are favoring the measure because it is demanded by their people, and the loss of these men who ordinarily rally to bis standard has convinced Mr. Aldrich apparently, that reslstence to the bill is useless.

MOHAN LEADS IN THE RACE Almost Sure to Be Chosen Presiding Officer of the 'ndiana House. HE HAS MANY PLEDGES MADE PREDICTION FOUR YEARS AGO THAT THE REPUBLICANS WOULD SOON OCCUPY THE "CHEROKEE STRIP." Indianapolis. Ind., Dec. 28. Representative Thomas Honan, of Seymour, Is sure of his election as Speaker of the House in the next legislature. He is not boasting, but he says that he has more than enough votes pledged to win. 'I will not have any trouble unless the members who are pledged to me change their minds," he said. Honan declares that he wrote letters to the Democratic members some time, ago announcing his candidacy and asking their support. Twenty replied at once, assuring him positively that they will vote for him. He needed but 3t to win, and since then he has been successful in getting the required number. Many party leaders believe that Honan will not have further opposition. All of the candidates are friendly to him, and it is not thought that they will go ahead with their contest under the existing circumstances. Honan Is Neutral. There have been rumors that Honan was the candidate of the Taggart machine, but he denies them. He asserts that he has refused to declare himself for any candidate for the Senate because he doesn't want to give any one a chance to charge him with having a combination. It Is said that the same forces that are backing Kern for Senator are for Honan. but the latter has no alliance with Kern. It is said that he could not have one handily because Judge Joe-Shea, of Seymour, one of his closest friends, is managing Shively's race. Honan is getting some satisfaction out of a prediction he made in the House four years ago. As the result of the Roosevelt landslide, the Democrats elected but 19 members of the House. It was the smallest representation they ever had there. Honan was floor leader then and made the most of a bad situation. He was chosen to present the name of Shively for Senator against Senator Albert J. Beveridge. He made a short but clever speech. In the midst of it he deviated from the newspaper copies long enough to become a prophet. Turning to the little bunch of Democrats, he declared that they were few, but mighty. -Bat we. of the Cherokee strip will grow and multiply," said Honan. "Some time In the not far distant future you Republicans will have to become occupants of our Cherokee strip.' ' Honan's prediction came true sooner than he expected. Some of the Republicans who were members during the session four years ago are now recalling what Honan said. His designation of the minority side as the Cherokee strip has clung to It.

ORIENTAL RUGS. Mad to Rsseinble - the Antiques ry Chemical Washings. The United States bays annually many thousand dollars worth of what are known to the profession as washed rugs. Brightly colored oriental rugs sometimes are washed with a solution of chloride of lime, a treatment which partly bleaches the colors and lmparta a soft appearance to the rug. This chemical treatment ia a process of washing which pre duces the effect of age and a peculiar nheen to the surface, which is pointed out by the on scrupulous dealer as a proof of superior quality. The fact la that the process of washing as described Invariably weakens and in some Instances destroys the materials of the rug. The progressive effect of the chemicals on the materials In the rug Is this: The chlorine gas contained In the chloride of Urns attracts oxygen and moisture from the air, by which muriatic acid is formed. This eats away the vitals of the rag. Sooner or later the wool and cotton In the rng become brittle and thus weaken the warp and deteriorate the wool. When this deterioration Is complete the pile of the rug may be swept away by the ordinary process of sweeping, and the warp, which Is the foundation of the rug. becomes so weak that boles appear here and there, and soon the rug Is worthless. It not seldom bsppens that a Persian rug Is too staring in some bright hue. perhaps red, and is not salable. The unscrupulous dealer will subject the rug to a series of washings In chemically prepared water. In this wsy ha turns out a rug possessing a soft antique sheen that is truly captivating and finds a ready purchaser at an advanced price. Chicago Tribune. Partners In Dsbts.
