CHICAGO, April 30-An expedition has
been organized, the object Of which Is to
save to the world what remain of
the once numerous bison family Of
the great plains. 1t has been de-
termined that OF the millions which
once roamed the prairies of the far West,
only 75 or 100 remain and these are located
in the extreme southwestern portion Of
Texas, hundreds Of miles from the near
est habitation of man. This expedition,
which is to start in a few days, will be
under the leadership Of c. J. or Buffalo
Jones, and will be made up OF six expert
enced plainmen with shepherd dogs

The lower house of congress is in the
midst of the debate on the Mills tariff
bill, each side having agreed TO take up
about ten days time. Every small-bore
representative will be given chance
to say something that will be solemnly
printed in the records and distributed
to his constituents as his speech. The
dispatches say that no one is listening
to these speeches, and at the night ses-
sions a dozen members is considered a
big crowd. The aspiring statesman pre-
pares himself with figures, and then
arranges with a friend on the other side
Of the house TO ask him number of
questions, for which he has the answers
prepared. His constituents are then
furnished with copies Of his wonderful
"extemporaneous" speech, and they are
better than ever prepared to point to
their congressman as the only man in
the district who could so ably represent
them. Surely There are tricks in all
trades but ours"

Overrn Montgomery county Missouri.
the democrats will hold a primary cleo
ton to determine the choice of the
county for state, county and district
officers, from constable to governor.
The central committee has agreed to
print the names of only such candidates
on the election ticket as pay to the
committee good sized assessment.
For instance, candidates for railroad
commissioner are assessed $40 each.
There are 80 candidates for that position
in the state. Certainly Montgomery is
dropping into the very worst kind oil
machine politics. Suppose every other
one Of the ia counties should adopt a
similar rule. Even Jay Gould could
not afford to be a candidate.

The selection Of Cy Leland, Jr., and
J. NJ. Graybill as delegates to the re-
publican national convention from the
First Kansas district in which Senator
Ingalls, lives, is regarded generally as
the blacklist kind of black eye to the
Jobs war-horse statesman" as ne has
been dubbed in Kansas since the Voor-
hees speech. 1t was an open secret that
Ingalls, was working all sorts of schemes
to secure the Kansas vote for the presi-
Dental nomination. Leland, bitter
anti-Ingalls man, started in to show the
senator that he could not control his
own district, and succeeded TO his
hearts content. The selection of the
two men is regarded as death blow to
ingalls, aspirations as, if he could not
control his own district, he could not be
expected to secure the state delegation,
and all chance of a complimentary vote
from his own state is gone.
