O'CONNOR Latest Novelties in Tobacco Jars and Pipe Racks at Burford's Judge Witten Candidate for Land Commissioner I Alaskans in general will be pleased to learn that Judge James \V. Witten, Democrat from grand old Missouri, is an aspirant for the appointment of Commissioner of the (Jeneral Land Of fice, Washington, I). C. Judge Wit ton is highly endorsed by many Rep resentatives in Congress and Gover nors of States, extending front W is consin to the Pacific Coast. His long and faithful service in the General Land Otlice as chief counsel to its commissioners and heads of divisions in that bureau, his frequent visits j throughout the Western country and to Alaska, studying its conditions and ; j its needs have given Judge Witten opportunities to acquire rare qualifi-1 j cations for the office he seeks. Certain ly from a deserving and meritorious standpoint, bis worth, ability and un swerving fidelity to what is just and right, make him the logical and best I qualified man in the service for the office of Commissioner of the General Land Office, and Alaskans in general hope that Judge James W. Witten will be honored by appointment to the of ' fice that he is so eminently qualified | to fill. James W. Witten was born in Grun dy County. Missouri, in lS.r>5, educated at Central College. Fayette. Mo.; ad mitted to the Bar in Grundy County. Mo., in 1881: and practiced law at Al bany. Mo., for twelve years, during which time he served two terms as Prosecuting Attorney. Later he was a Principal Examiner in the General Land Office, and was subsequently promoted to the highest legal position in that office and for a number of years he has been the chief legal advisor to its commissioners and the chiefs of its divisions, and has considered its most important cases. In 1S94 he was sent to Oklahoma by Secretary Smith to investigate and close up the business of seven town site boards, and to investigate charges against officers of three land offices. Iii 1S9C, during Secretary Francis* administration of the Interior Depart ment, he was on detail to adjust swamp land grants to .Missouri and Illinois, and to sit in and decide an im portant land olilce case in Des .Moines, Iowa, In 1 DO:: Secretary Hitchcock sent liini to Alaska to make extensive in vestigations into economic and other conditions in that district to be used by the Interior Department in recom mending legislation; and his reports 011 these investigations were published in book form for general distribution as public documents at the personal direction of the President. In 1911 he again visite dAlaska on a like com mission. He lias devised methods for and, under orders from Presidents Roose velt and Taft, and Secretaries Hitch cock, Garfield, Ballinger. and Fisher, personally superintended more than twenty-five openings and sales of In dian lands embracing several million .?teres. Simplified methods devised by him for these openings have relieved land applications from hardships, an noyances and expense imposed by the methods employed at former openings, and reduced the cost of such openings to less than one-half the former cost. In connection with these openings and sales lie lias visited many parts of the West and closely observed and studied local conditions and needs con nected with the disposal of public lands. lie is tlie author of an article on "The Public Domain," published in the latest edition of the "Kncvclopedia Americana." and was retained by the American Law Hook Company to write an extensive article 011 the public land law* ot' the United States and Canada for the "Cyclopedia of Law and Procedure," (Cyc.) but the assign ment to him of additional otlicial du ties. in connection with the opening and sale of Indian lands, prevented its completion. TRAINS HER SERVANT GIRLS TO MARRY HER NINE SONS i ST. LOUIS, Fob. 6. Mrs. Louis J. Tichacok, wife of a wealthy marble manufacturer and former Missouri State Representative, trains servant girls in her home to be wives of her sons. She has made three of these matches and they have been so suc cessful that she has plans for keep j ing her personally conducted matrimo nial system in operation until all of her nine sons have taken servants of the family as wives. The father of this interesting family of nine sons and a daughter also has a system. As each son reaches the age of 16 he is given an interest in the father's business and becomes an active partner in it. Tichacok has just taken his eighth son, Harry, in to the firm. "Their mother finds their wives and I put them in business and every body is happy." says Tichacok. Mrs. Tichacok has a rule which thus far has never failed her. This is the way she states it: "If a girl is good enough to work in my household for five years she is good enough to marry one of my sons." Always Has One in Training When a girl has successfully passed through the five years of probation and has shown that she is proficient as a cook and as a housekeeper, accord ing to the standard set by this mother of ten. Mrs. Tichacek does not hesti tate to recommend her to the oldest son still single as a qualified and de sirable helpmeet. With wise executive foresight Mrs. Tichacek preserves the line of suc cession by always having one or more household servants in training when tin- senior in rank is approaching the end of the allotted five-year period. Friends of the family are comment ing with interest on the fact that three of the sons who have reached legal age -George. 27; Edward, 24; and Charles, 22 are still bachelors, and that coincidentally a young woman re garded by all of Mrs. Tichacek's wom an acquaintances as a paragon of servants has been with the family al most five years. The sons who have followed their mother's advice in selecting servants in the house for wives, and who have not regretted it, are Louis, 33; An gust,31; and Frank, 29. Louis has two sons. August has four daughters and Frank has a son and a daughter. The younger member of the Tich acok family are Jerome, 20, Marie, 17: Harry, 16, and Eugene, 7. The three married sons have homes adjoining the paternal residence. Family Gathers Nightly "Our daughters-in-law are as dear to us as our sons," said Tichacek. "Every night they come to our home with their families and we have a party. We make our home so attrac tive that our sons never go elsewhere to find amusement. "I have never had cause to regret taking my sons into my business as partners. Day and night we are a happy family." Tichacek has been in the graining and marbling business In St. Louis thirty-six years. He was a member of the State Legislature In 1903 and is a candidate for the Democratic nom ination for City Registrar at the com ing spring election. J. R.

( BRYAN "DICTATE POSITIONS ABROAD" Story that Purports to Show Nebras- j kan Expects to Be Secretary of State. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.?William J. Bryan's most Intimate friends do not believe that he has been offered a place in President-elect Wilson's Cabinet, but they are confident that he will be tendered the position of Secretary of States. Some time ago one of .Mr. Bryan's loyal supporters went to him for his support or indorsement for a foreign; appointment. .Mr. Bryan told him, so the story goes, that he was not able to help him then, but later might be. .Mr. Bryan is represented as saying that he would be in a position to "absolutely dictate all foreign ap pointments" or he would not have "anything whatever to do with them." This is interpreted to mean that .Mr. Bryan expects to be offered the po sition of Secretary of State and that lie will accept under certain conditions made by himself. There is considerable talk among j members because so few leading Dem ocratic Congressmen have been invit ed to New Jersey for conference. Mr. Bryan Won't Discuss the Secre i tary of State Rumor. MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 6.?"I see no reus- . on why I should discuss the state- * inent," said W. J. Bryan today, when ? asked about the story from New York . that he would accept the position of ' Secretary of State and had cancelled ? all lecture engagements after March . I. Mr. Bryan has said repeatedly that ' he would say nothing about any Cab- " inet position. j ? fl .331-3% DISCOUNT! ! On all ladies', tailor-made suits, [ coats and one-piece dresses ?
