MIR. COWLEs Is MAD.
He Berates the Members Who
Are Obstructing His Tobacco


Bill.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-Mr. Cowles,
author of the bill to repeal the tax on
tobacco, is very indignant at the OBJ
structive tactics employed by certain
Democrats to prevent vote on his bill.
Il DESIRE" said he tonight, ito place
the responsibility where it belongs.
Ever since the bill was introduced, OBJ
structive tactics have been employed to
prevent its consideration. The bill
would pass by seventy majority or over
if vote could be had. This has been
demonstrated. But Mr.. Mills. Mr.. Nc
MILAN, the two Breckinridges and
Speaker Carlisle have worked night and
day to put obstructions in its way. For
the past four days they have encouraged
all motions and measures to consume
time; have put men forward to talk
against time, have talked themselves to
consume time to stave off my measure.
The people should know that while
they pretend to want the tobacco tax
repealed, they are cOvertly doing all in
their power to prevent it from coming
to vote. Speaker Carlisle has aided
and abetted them at every step.

One Train Dashes Clear Through
Another Without Hurting Any

BRAMPToN, Ont, Feb. 27.-As a
Grand Trunk freight train was crossing
the Canadian Pacific track yesterday a
freight train on the latter road dashed
into it, cutting its way through and
never stopping. Not wheel of the
Canadian Pacific train left the track.
The engineer and fireman jumped and
escaped uninjured. The brakemen ran
forward, setting the brakes, and on
reaching the engine brought the train
to stand. The train had then run two
and half miles past the scene of the
accident. No one was hurt, but con-
siderable damage to property was done.

WASHINGTON, Feb. est was COM

Affairs have settled into somewhat of
routine character, and there was very
little to disturb it to-day. There was
the usual throng of congressional call

stream from about until about
II O'clock. The Wisconsin delega-

by the Illinois delegation in charge of
Representative Hopkins. The Kansas
delegation also called later in the day.
Vice-President-Elect and Mrs. Morton
were among the early visitors. They
were cordially received by General and
Mrs. Harrison. There was a slight
lull in the calling at 10 o'clock.
and the president-elect improved the
opportunity by going out for walk in
the northern section of the city. He
went alone, and did not leave word
where he had gone. He returned, how
ever, in time to eat his lunch and meet
some engagements he had made to re-
ceive certain callers at 2:30 o'clock. 1t
was announced this morning that Mrs.

DAKOTA LAWMAKERS.
The Morris Common Carrier Bill
Passed in the House.

Speci al to the Globe.
BISMARCK, Dak., Feb. 2S.-The house
held forenoon session to-day for the
consideration of the Morris common
carrier bill. Discussion OF this meas
ure continued far into the afternoon
session and became quite heated. 1t
was slightly amended and passed on
vote of twenty-t three to nineteen. Your
correspondent is reliably informed that
motion will be made tomorrow to re-
consider this vote; that it will carry and
the bill be killed. The names mentioned
as those who will go over to the opposi-
ton are Fletcher, Gonna, Baldwin and
Lampman. Ii this move is successful
railroad legislation will take no further
part in the proceedings of this session.
A large number of bills were passed,
including council bills fixing interest
on territorial warrants at z per cent and
establishing an agricultural college at
Valley City. The council spent the
afternoon in committee of the whole
considering the Stimmels and
Hughs election bills, both mod
eled after the Australian plan.
When the committee arose it
reported favoring the passage of the
latter, as numerously amended, and
recommended indefinite postponement

bill segregating Lawrence and creating
Meade county, for which measure its

and much general interest is felt as to
its fate in the executive department.
The bill repeating the law creating the
office of territorial veterinary surgeon
was called up late in the afternoon.
When number of members had gone
home motion was made to reconsider
the vote, and under call of the house
the sergeant-at-arms was instructed to
bring in the abSentees. The vote was

the supporters of the motion agreed to
adjourn. The motion will undoubtedly
carry tomorrow. The council appro-
prIation committee completed its re-
port, and the number of blasted hopes
resulting is coequal with the bills in
troduced. The amounts asked for are
cut down on an average of 80 per cent.
There are no complaints of unfair dis
elimination. 1t is understood that the
house committees report will agree
with that of the council. There is some
talk of an omnibus appropriation bill,
with these reports in its groundwork.

 THE reason of the greater mortality of
 male children than of female is supposed
 to be the greater demands on the system
 caused by their moro rapid rate of growth. ENToMoLoGIsTs state that there IS reason able hope that scientific plan will be de- vised whereby whole tribes of noxious in- sects may be exterminated by the artl- ficial multiplication of their innoxious ene- mics.

 IT is mistake to suppose that water, be- cause it contains anlmalcule or conferve, is necessarily unwholesome. However re- pugnant to our feelings it may be to use water containing these foreign bodies, It IS only when they are dead that danger arises from their presence.

A MERCIFUL JUDGE.
How 8 Good Little Widow Defended the
 Man Who Had Abused Her.

How 8 Good Little Widow Defended the
 Man Who Had Abused Her.
 There was once little woman, says the Boston Courier, who, as other little women had had before her, was so unfortunate as to have husband who drank like fish, and the more be drank the more heartily he beat and abused her. She endured it like an angel, and indeed it IS to be feared that part of the sin of his misdoing was to be laid upon her head, so temptingly patient was she, and so far was she from treating him as he deserved to be treated.
 But in course of time kind fate inter- fered to save the little woman from the fur ther abusIngs of the brute. He took one drink too many, and broke his neck in an iu-judged attempt to carry himself and too many potions of brandy on horseback at the same time.
 And when the man was dead the little wife remembered no more his brutality, nor the size of the stick with which he had been wont to beat her, gr1evous to be borne although it had been. She mourned and wept and lamented and told her friends what paragon he had been, until one of them could bear it no longer, but famed out with cruel kindness, and denounced the dead man as the drunken brute he had really been.
 The widow looked up through her tears with world of reproach in her eyes.
 "He was good man and good hus- band" she said, indignantly. Then her na- tive instinct for truth asserted itself. She dropped her voice and lowered her head. serhough Icaz't say," she added, s'that he was altogether adapted to liquor."
 And that was the most severe thing the good little widow was ever heard to say concerning the departed brute

With care furniture may be kept looking nice for years, but without this care it soon becomes dingy and shabby.

Articles covered with plush or any goods with pile may be brushed with a bristle brush, but for hair cloth light switch works the best, wiping of the surface afterward with a damp cloth. Wipe the woodwork with damp cloth, and if there are any dents in it, it IS said the application of several thicknesses of wet plotting paper held in place till dry by a warm fatiron will remove the dent, unless very deep one, when several appli- cations may be necessary.
