AUBURN HEADS ARE WAN ' ED
Ket! to Prevail In Color Scheme" of a St.
I.nuls ItCHtauraot.
One of tin- 'xtremest of novelties to
be on exhibition at the St. houis fair
is brought to light by an order to an
employment bureau to place 25 young
ladies with auburn hair with a well
km .w ii cafe in St. Louis, where the
general color scheme to be employed
is red. or rather the color nearest
that.
Tlie idea to be followed is some
thing after the or !er of the one at 1 lie
White Horse inn at Chicago during the
world's, fair, where the entire fixtures
adhered strict 1 to the color of white.
In the case of the St. Louis fair, bow
ever, there will be nothing but red of
the most lurid kind.
All of the young ladies to be en
gaged by the management of the cafe
must report at the place of business
the 15th of April and don their ac
coutrements, which will be made by
mo.iisles to fit an I agree with the col
or of the hair ami complexion of Ihe
applicants. It will be necessary, ac
cording to the wishes of the manage
ment, that the young ladies presenting?
themselves for positions have disposi
tion of blondes, although their hair
must lie of the deepest auburn. This
proviso is made, it is thought, because
so many t f the red headed women are
inclined toward an unruly :isp iit ion
tendency to Veep

Doctors rarely have hard colds

Judge J. M. Wade, of Iowa, has at
tracted much attention by his speech
in congress in wnicn ne avers mat tne
meat trus. is a tangible fact and can
be reache:! through the court.
When Attorney (ieneral Knox in 191)2
-oceeded against the packers com
bination and had it enjoined from
violating the anti-trust law and sub
sequently had this injunction mace
permanent, it was believed in official
circles the monopoly which had been
conancterl in meat and food in the
Cn-ted States was destroyed.
Ilepre.-cntative Wade "Fays, how
ever, the combination of slaughter
ers and packers still is in existancc. is
engaged in regulating by agreement
and iinily the price at which cattle,
hogs, and sheep are purchased from
the farmers and stock raisers for
killing; that it is slill violating the
interstate commerce law in conjunc
tion with the railroads of the coun
try, but by a new device, and that it if
still employing the old weapons which
is so sueessf nlly used for oriving out
of business butchers and retail deal
ers who do not sell meats and provis
ions to conform to list prices.
Says He Ua Proof.
This is a sensational statement, but
Mr. Wade says he can prove every al
legation. If he can prove this it wTIl
become the dutv of Attorney Cenera!
Knox to call the attention of Judge
(Irosscup of the circuit court in Chi
cago, to the fact that Nelson Morris
& Co.. Swift and Co.. the J. II. Ham
mond company, the Cudahy Packing
company. Armour v I c. anil rretivvnrz
sehilds it Sulzberger are guilty of con
tempt of court.
If pre -f can be brought before the
ittorney general, or if the evidence
can lie. obtained, no iiiuiut steps win
he taken to bring these defendants in
to court under an application for a
rule to show why they should not be
punishe:l for c ntempt of the injunc
tion against them still iu force.
This injunction, whose terms, ac
cording to Mr. va:te. are being vio
lated, was directed s. gainst all the
ix firms mentioned. 'I hev were found
guilty after an extended hearing of a
conspiracy to refrain from competi
five bidding and unlawfully and arbi-
trarialv raising nriees. keeping "black
lists" f retail dealers, conspiring with
the railroads to obtain advantages by
secret rebates, by artificial means re
straining commerce, and putting in
force abnormal and arbitrary regula
turns affecting the meat business from
the shipment of live stock on the
plains to the final distribution to the
consumer to the injury of the people

St. Louis. Feb. 2. After having had
the better of four rounds of fighting
Harry Forbes, of Chicago, was knock
ed out in the earlv part of the fifth
by Abe Attel, of San Francisco, in
their battle for the featherweight
championship of the world at 122
pounds 1 efore the We.-t Krd club here
last night. In the four preceding
rounds. Forbes surprised the specta
tors by his speed and clever work. He
not only utjabbed Attel. but had
him on the defensive the greater part
of the time. Attel tried to mix with
Forbes in the second, but was beaten
oft and compelled to cover up to pro
tect himself. In the third round
Forbes jumped in aggressively and
put two hard jabs to the face. In the
fourth Forbes again ru-hed Attel. and
they mixed it up quite lively for a
time. Forbes easily had the better of
the session. At the opening of the
fifth Forbes rushed at Attel viciously.
Abe sidestepping, ami Harry fell
against Ihe ropes. Attel started a
wild right hand swing that landed on
Kuri l's' ear. and the Chicagoan rolled
to the floor and was counted out.
