The LAST of the carpet bavgers goes out
in blaze ofinfamy. Elk Senator and pre-.
sent representative Kellogg of Louisiana
has been indicted by the grand jury of the
District of Columbia for selling his influence
as member of the United States Senate
for money, and for conSpiring with other
parties to rob the people of his whole coun
try. To those at all familiar with Mr.. Kel
logg's character, his present Indictment is
not at all surprising, the only wonder being
that he has SO long escaped Indictment for
other but no less Infamous crimes. In his
tory the reign of the republican party in
this country will be known IS the corrupr
age of the American Union.

Failure of n Frigid Mutton Scheme.
London Gable,


1t Is stated that the importation Of the
frozen carcasses of about 81 900 sheep from
Australia has involved the company conduct
ing that business in loss exceeding $4,000.
Is said that the scarcity of live sheep Is the
chief complaint of butchers, and 1t appears
that this we'll conducted London company
could not land their carcasses of mutton In
England under SD. q pound, the cost in
Australia being not less than Sd a pound.
the opinion of we'll informed persons seems
TO be that unless the carcasses can be bought
In Australia under ID q pound, the importa-
even with present prices, be profitable. This
failure In SO large an import gives, it is felt,
new urgency to the question of the entry Of
live sheep from the United States. There Is
not 50 strong plea in regard to German
sheep, which are excluded for the same rea-
son, the existence Of foot and mouth disease
In the exporting country. The passage from
Germany IL short, so short that infected
sheep might not display the disease before
landing; which, however, Is said not to be
possible In the case of sheep coming In ten
days. voyage from the United States. II
sheep are free from disease on arriving from
America, every veterinary surgeon admits
that from foot and mouth disease they must
unquestionably have been free at the time of
smbarkation, as the utmost period Of incu.
baton of that disease is much less than 9
week. An application 10 the Privy Council
strenuously urges the removal OF the present
restrictions on the importation Of American
sheep.

How to XIII q Town.
Billings Herald, ID.

Send east for everything that you can pur-
chase two cents cheaper than the merchants
Of the town can afford to SELL IL you have
few dull days of business advise every one
yeu meet of the fact, stop your advertise
ment In the paper, and let your general de-
lection be most apparent Do not attend any
public meetings or assist any public improve
"ments, and should any improvements be
projected, find every possible fault with
them, predict their failure, and publish your
disapproval whenever an opportunity pre-
sents itself. Abuse all those who may hap
pen to show lively interest in the welfare
OF the community. Continue in this spirit
throughout the affairs of your daily life, and
when you have succeeded in attaining suf-
ficient degree of general nastiness, wonder
why your customers have forsaken You; ut
tribute the fact to the want of enterprise In
the paper where you will not advertise, and
to the ill-will of those whom you have Will
fed. Then you will find perhaps that the
town is not so good as IL should be, and tha
the great object you have had In view II
nearly accomplished; the town being dead
You will doubtless be happy.

The Inevitable Quartz Lode Claim
Butte Miner, 9Th.

A breeze of excitement was created yes
terday by claim presented by John A. Leg
gat ct al. against the county for compensa-
ton for portion Of the recently purchased
court house site. II seems that the site was
formerly portion Of the Thomas claim, be-
longing to John A. Leggat, Lee w. Foster,
and some eastern parties, who have executed
deeds to perfect the titles OF parties holding
lots In the tract, but ut the time Of the ces-
sion by the city to the board Of county COM
missioners of an alley which divided the lots
purchased by the county, suit was pending
against the city for compensation for the
streets and alleys situated on the Thomas
claim, and the present demand is for pay.

A written proposition for settlement is TO be
presented by the claimants to-day, and there
seems to be no doubt but an amicable adjust

New Commissioner of Internal Revenues.

Illustrated Correspondence Neao North West.
Col. Walter Evans is the son Of Joseph NJ.
Evans, of Barren County, KY, where he was
born in 1912. In 1856, he went to Harrods.
burg, and there he received his education.
In 1861, he joined the 18th Kentucky regl-
ment on the Union side, serving as lieu
tenant. He took part in the capture Of Fort
Donnelson, but was obliged reluctantly to
leave the army about the time Of the battle
of Shiloh. He supported Mr.. Lincoln for
president in 1864, since which he has been
an answering Republican. In 1866, he
was admitted to the bar and at once began
the practice of his profession In Christian
County. He was first elected tn the Legis-
lature in 1871 by q majority of 100, the frst
Republican ever elected from his County,
and In 1884, served In the State Senate.
He was nominated for Governor In 1880. At
Chicago Convention, that year. he voted stead
lily with the 1906" In favor OF General
Grant.
For many years past, Col. Evans has re-
sided In Louisville, where his professional
career has been marked with distinguished
success. Since 1880, he has devoted himself
almost entirely to bis law business.
Secretary Bristow was Lieut.. Colonel OF
the regiment In which Col. Evans served.
This fact made them warm friends for many
years, though some years after the war,
coolness had srisen between them owing to
nderstandings occasioned by others.
Despite this fact, In 1875, Col.Evans warmly
supported his old friend for the presidential
nomination, and perfect understanding and
a mutually friendly relation now exists
between them.
The appointment was no surprise to Its
recipient, as he had known for three weeks
that his name was being considered by the
President. The appointment Is generally
regarded with approval in Kentucky, though
it was unexpected in political circles. Post
master General Gresham is also said to be
highly gratified at the p residents choice.
As the time allowed by law for temporary
appointment had almost expired, Col. Evans
at once telegrsphed his acceptance, and took
the oath Of Office which was forwarded te
Washington forthwith.
The general impression respecting his
fitness for the post seems to be that he will
approve himself capable and competen
official, an opinion which the public will
hope Is well founded.

IN THE BorToM DRAWER.
There are whips, and tops, and pieces

There are whips, and tops, and pieces Of
string,
There are shoes which no little feet wear;
There are bits Of ribbon and broken rings,
And tresses Of golden hair;
There are little dresses folded away
Out Of the light of the sunny day.
There are dainty jackets that never are
worn,
There are toys and models Of ships;
There are books and pictures, all faded aud
torn,
And marked by the finger tips
OF dimpled hands that have fallen 10 dust,
Yet strive 10 think that the Lord Is Just.
But feeling OF bitterness fills my soul
Sometimes when try 10 pray,
That the Reaper has spared so many flowers
And taken mine away;
And / almost doubt that the Lord can know
That a mothers heart can love them so.
Then / think Of the many weary ones
Who are waiting and watching tonight
For the slow return Of the faltering feet
That have strayed from the paths of right;
Who have darkened their lives by shame and
sin,
Whom the snares Of the tempter have gath
cred In.
They wander far in distant climes,
They perish by fire and food,
And their hands are black with the direst
crimes
That kindled the wrath of God.
Yet mothers song has soothed them to
rest,
She has lulled them to slumber upon her
breast
And then think of my children three,
My babies that never grow old,
And know they are waiting and watching
for me.
In the city with streets of gold,
Safe, safe from the cares of the weary years,
From sorrow, and sin, and war,
And thank my God, with falling tears,
For the things in the bottom drawer.
