Concentrated VS.. Green
NionUrcS,

Concentrated fertilizers pay best

time and again, barn yard manure
will give the most permanent results

Death of n Mnf all SnRIa "

DeAth OA A NOtSu S4UA~
 GREEN BAY, Dec. 29.-One of the most re- markable of the Oneida Indian women on the reservation six miles west of here has just died at the age of ninety y-seven years. She was known as Aunt Polly Doxtater, and when young was educated, having been brought up by Quaker near Philadelphia In her young life she was employed by several families Of note, and was the nurse of Mrs. General George B. Mcclellan during the infancy of that lady. In 1sO2 she went to Stockbridge and there mar ried into the Oneida tribe. In 1887 she came up with portion of the Oneidas to the Wisconsin reservation still occupied by them. Her husband died before she left the East, but she was accompanied by several of her children, three of whom survive her. The family has always been at the head of the Oneida nation and it's members have occn- pied important tribal positions at various times

The Tarif-Chief Nimmo's Review of
 the Commissions Labors-The Attempt
 to Reio state General POrter-The Lat
 ter Listens to General Logan's Hostile
 Argument-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Chief Nimmo of the bureau of statistics today completed the statement comparing the report of the tariff commission with the present tariff, the com f,arison being made article by article It was this afternoon presented to the Treasury de- pertinent and by the Secretary forwarded to the Ways and Means committee, at whose request it was prepared. It is very volum inous, covering sixty printed pages and is understood to indicate that the schedule re- ported by the commission does not provide so large reduction in the tariff as has been generally supposed.
 The Ways and Means committee consumed all of to-day on the first eleven paragraphs of the tariff commissioners report on wool and woolen goods. The first clause of the fifth paragraph was made to read, ''The duty on wools of the first class which shall be imported washed shall be twice the amount of rate to which they would be sub iected if imported unwashed." The word ssmanufactured' was made ''unmanufactured" insthe paragraph reading "Sheepskins and Angora goatskins, raw or manufactured, inn ported with wool or washed or unwashed 30 per cent. ad DGlo7ena-on the skins alone p The eleventh paragraph reading ''woolen rags, shoddy mungo. waste flock and all oth- CT substitutes for wool, 12 cents per pound ,'' was amended to read "woolen rags, shoddy mungo, waste and flock 10 cents per pound. ." The schedule of wool and woolens was not half completed to-day and will probably oc- cupy all of to, morrow.
 The present understanding is that the House will not transact any important busi- ness tomorrow, but adjourn till Tuesday and be ready to begin in earnest with the Senate on that day.
 During General Logan's speech in the Sen ate to day General Fitz John Porter with party of friends occupied seats in the gentle clemens gallery. Among others present were ex-Secretary Belknap, Adjutant General Drum, Quartermaster General Ingalls,, Mrs. Logan Mrs. Don Cameron and many other promine ent ladies.

He bought it in 1895 from a Philadelphian named Eckstein, who had purchased it from a French refugee of high standing in 1793 for $8O. Good experts have pronounced it a genuine Rubens and the family have refused large sums for it, their intention being to preserve it as an heirloom
