Given the Ikusl,


During the recent visit Of a delegation Of
members of the Legislature and invited
guests TO Hot Springs there occurred an cpl
sOde that is illustrative of the haste Of some
men to perform an action without asking
why or wherefore. 1t is well-known fact
that when it rains in the Hot Springs Valley
it comes down by the buckeiful. Windows
and doors must be closed at once. else car
pets and floors will be soaked through and
through. Ii came to pass that Hon. John j.
O'DOwd and Thomas j. COgan WERE given
the same apartment, occupying beds at
either side Of the room.
Late one night a heavy rain came up, and
the noise of the storm awakened COgan,
who discovered that the windows were wide
open. Sitting up in bed he shrieked TO
ODOwd. Starting from sound sleep that
young man asked:
"Huhl What's the matterw
sect up and close the windows, quick!
It's raining. Hurry upr
With bound O'Dowd sprang to the floor,
and after a struggle, in which HIS night
shirt was soaked and his feet wet, he did
that which he was told. Returning TO his
couch. the legislator tucked himself beneath
the coverlids. 4 silence Of two minutes
passed, and then it was broken by O'Dowd,
who sat up, and, in an injured tone, said:
"Say COgan, what was the matter with
you getting up and shutting those win
dows?'

The New sergsant-At-Arms.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The Census
Office will tabulate the returns from
the large cities before commencing work
on the smaller cities and towns. Super
intsndent Porter has already made
public tho official fgurts showing tho
population of Washington, and New
York will be thus favored. The reports
from Philadelphia show that the work
there has been very efficiently per-
formed, and the population of that
CITY will soon be given out to the press.
None of the Boston schedule have yet
been received, but this 10 explained on
the ground that the entire State of
MassAoh usetts is included in one dis
trict.
Mr.. Porter is greatly pleased with
the work his subordinates have per-
pormed, which has been, he says, both
thorough and expeditions. There have
been complaints, he adds, of careless
ness on tho part of certain enumerators
throughout the country, but such com-
plants are to be expected, especially in
communities DESTROYS of making a good
showing. and are, after all, few in
number and generally insignificant in
character.

ORIGINAL PACKAGE BILL.
Broader Substitute Will be Reported
by the House Committee.

"A Broader Substitute VIII be Reported
by the House Committee.
WASHINGTON, June 25-The House
Com mittee on the Judiciary, after hav-
ing under consideration for four meet
ines the Senate Original Package bill,
has decided to report to the House in
Its stead substitute agreed on by the
Committee with one dissenting voice.
1t is broader in scope than the Senate
bill, inasmuch as it's provisions apply
to all articles of Interstate commerce,
whereas the Senate bill applies only 60
Intoxicating liquors. The substitute is
as follows:
THAT whenever any article of COM
merce is imported into any State from
any other State, Territory or foreign
nation, and there held or offered for
sale, the same shall then be subject to
the laws of such State, provided that
no discrimination shall be made by any
State in favor of its citizens against
those of other States in respect to the
sale of any article Of commerce, nor in
favor of its own products against those
of like character produced In other
States; nor shall the transportation of
commerce through any State be OBJ
structed except in the necessary enforce
ment of the health laws of such State "
Representative Reed, of Iowa, will
prepare the report on the bill, and
Representative Adams, who voted
against tho bill, will probably make a
minority report.

A Strange Sioux Legend.

A strange legend comes to US from the
Sioux, who alone can tell the true his
tory of that deadly ambuscade. They
say that on the hillock where Custer fell
now grows q plant never seen there be-
fore-a curious plant with tall, slender
leaves, curved in the exact form of ga
Der, with edges SO sharp as to inf1ict
keen wounds upon unwary hands, and
those who pluck 1t once soon drop 1t, 30
strangely cold and clammy are its
leaves. 1t bears golden-hued, heart
shaped blossom, and in the center is one
small spot Of brilliant red, like q drop Of
blood. The Indians regard it with
superstitious awe. They call it "Cus-
ter's heart" and can not be induced to
touch it, claiming that the blossom
crushed in the hand leaves blood-red
staiu impossible to remove.

SISTER ROSE GERTRUDE, who recently
went to labor among the lepers of Malo-
kia, writes Of her visit to the island
where Father Damien died, as follows:
Here we visited young Englishman,a
leper, who was even then entering on
his agony. This was one of the most
heartrendering sights of the island.
There, lin little white draped bed by the
open lattice, famed by the southern
breeze laden with the fragrances of the
jasmine and honeysuckle, lay the sick
man, the skin drawn tightly over his
bones. one side Of his face entirely eaten
away by cancer, his eyes bleared and
sightless, his hands deformed, his breath
coming in quick short gasps." Sister
Rose Gertrude says that the lepers ap-
pear to enjoy life in their own way. She
met several on horseback and was assur-
ed that in the settlement Of 1908 lepers
there were 800 horses provided by the
government for those who cannot walk.
There are three churches in one of the
little villages, Roman Catholic, a Cal
whist and Moravian.

At present the strike Affects the road
only from Chicago TO Kankakee. but the
mon say that unless they gain their
point they will tie up the entire sys-

A meeting of the strikers was held
early in the morning, at which the

trains except those carrying the United
States mail. Accordingly, as fast -
the suburban trains came in they were
side tracked, and 1t was not long before
the tracks were completely blocked up,
suburban trains. freight trains, and
through and way passenger trains be-

"a LITTLE over-sensitiveness in mat
ters of public responsibility" remarks
the Washington Star, lis a wholesome
hing. Governor Buckner Of Kentucky
was not legally responsible for the de-
falcation by which the state treasury
had lost during his administration the
sum Of $50, 900, but this was not the way
in which he regarded it. He put his
hand to his check book-he is a wealthy
as well as an honest man-and paid over
the full sum to reimburse the state. His
conduct is worthy of commemorative in
day when this extreme sensitiveness
of conscience in public officials is not
the rule"

ARTIFICIAL ice is selling at lower
price in the southern states than the
natural article is up here. In Savannah,
for example, manufactured ice by the
ton ranges from S. per ton to $3.50, the
highest figure, and while the demand
exceeded the supply last week, there is
no danger of an ice famine or of high
prices. Ice retails down there all the
way from two-fifths of cent per pound
to three-quarters of cent per pound, in
five to fifty pound lots, and nearly every
corner grocery and little shop through
out the city retails ice, so that there is
q large amount consumed daily.

Dakota County and Mr.. Donnel1y.
The combat gets more and more
interesting in Dakota County as the
election draws near. It is a contest
which will be watched with interest
throughout the state. If there is one.
man in this state who will be needed
in the field of, action next winter-in
the senate of the state-that one
man is Ignatius Donnelly.
If there is one man against whom
the cohorts of plutocracy are mar
shalled that man is Mr. Donnelly. 1t
is the senate that the railroad and
wheat rings seek to control. It is
there that they block every effort to-
secure justice to the producers of this.
state. This man is feared more than
any dozen other men in the alliance
ranks, and against his election every
influence and contrivance known to.
politics is summoned. If there be a..
man in Dakota County who has BEEN
hoodwinked, or befooled into fight
ing or voting against Mr.. Donnelly-
and who loves his race-we beg of
him to come forth from the ranks of
the Qppressors, and redeem himself
at the polls.
