Cows in the Alps.

The COWS of the Alps are generally
very large and fine, of dark mouse
color, growing white at the muzzle,
writes a correspondent of The Chicago
Journal. Each one has a name and
a bell around her neck and as the
herder must be with them all day,
they are so accustomed to being with
human kind that they really seem to
have human intelligence. Several
mornings when staying in the homes
of the mountainers have got up at
daybreak to see them milk and care
for their herds, and as I saw how
gently they handled. them, and the
trustful way the COWS would lay their
heads against the keepers, as iftrying
in their dumb way to express their
affection, it added to my regard for
the sturdy fellows, who looked as if
they might be as rough as bears.
One cow, who leads the herd, has q
much larger bell than the others, and
Us she starts off the rest follow along
the narrow path up the mountain
side, the different bells tinkling like
chimes in the early morning air and
forming a very romantic pastoral
scene

NAPOLEON in 1914.

He appears very short, which is
partly owing to his being very fat;
his hands and legs being quite swol-
len and unwieldy. That makes him
appear awkward, and not unlike the
whole length figure of Gibbon, the
historian. Besides this, instead of
the bold marked countenance that I
expected, he has fat cheeks, and rath-
er turn up nose, which, to bring in
another historian, makes the shape
of his face resemble the portraits of
Hume. He has a dusky gray eye,
which would be called vicious in a
horse; and the shape of his mouth
expresses contempt and decision.
His manner is very good natured,
and seems studied to put one at ones
ease by it's familiarity; his smile and
laugh are very agreeable; he asks a
number of questions without object,
and often repeats them-a habit
which he has no doubt acquired dur
ling fifteen years ofsupreme command.

The large brick and stone building at the
corner of Adams aud Market streets Chicago
owned by ]. V. Farwell 4 Co, caught fire and
before the flames could be subdued, the
southern half of it was gutted. This portion
of the building was occupied by Taylor Bros,

dealers in clothing and uniforms. Loss, about
$45O,OOO.

with opposition in their party in the house,
which threatens the defeat of their bill if it
includes this item. They are having
deal of trouble over this question: but
one OF the most perplexing features Of
the situation lis that there is considerable
doubt about the fiscal affairs Of the govern
ment admitting of any reduction of revenue
at this time. The regular appropriations
and the differences for the ensuing year will
amount to about $430, 100000, and the esti-
ted revenues for that year are but $450
100000. The passage of the Blair bill, Or
would wipe out this difference of $20,OOO,-
600 and leave a shortage. II any Of these
bills become law, all idea OF re-
ducing the revenue must be
abandoned and the only reductions Of
duties practicable would he such as would
operate t. increase revenue by encouraging
importatiOns. The friends Of sugar in the
house opposing the repeal Of the duty pro-
pose to accept a reduction of between -
and 30 per cent as a compromise, urging
that the government cannot spare the
revenue which would be wiped out by
putting it on the free list and it is possible
that there may be a compromise on this
basis. 1t is also claimed that the repeal OF
the tobacco tax is probable unless it is
found that the revenue cannot be spared.
This is based on the fact that
certain Southern Republicans have
said that they wonld not sup
port any tariff bill if the tax on tobacco was
not removed. To this proposition the
Northwestern members strongly dissent.
They will not, if they can help it, vote for
any bill that repeals the tobacco tax. A
great many Western men are OF the opinion
that the revenue derived from the tobacco
tax may be proftably expended in improv-
ing rivers and harbors and erecting neces-
sary public buildings. The necessary re-
ductions of the surplus, many claim,
should be made upon thenecessaries rather
than the luxuries, even if it would allow
more importations. The majority OF the
committee will find it a serious task to
frame a satisfactory tariff bill.

SMITH ALL RIGHT.
One Way Of Proving Man Innocent
of a Charge.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram
The North Dakota delegation was sur
prised to-day by the withdrawal of the
name of John A. Percival for receiver Of the
Devils Lake, n D., land office. They knew
nothing of the matter until the message
came to the senate with the list of appoint
mentS. Percival was confirmed Friday last,
but Secretary Noble went to the senate and
asked that the confirmation be reconsid-
cred, which was done. To-day followed
the withdrawal Receiver Smith, the pres
ent incumbent of the office, was among the
number who We're recently charged with
being short in their accounts and PerCival
was appointed to succeed him. Since then
the secretary has been informed that Smith
was all right and by way of vindication
wanted to prove his innocence and then re-
sign. The secretary, in order to put Smith
right, has held up Percival and continued
Smith. Senator Pierce says:
Mr. Smith was removed by the secretary of
the interior on a report OF a clerk that he was
short in his accounts, and Mr. PerciVal was ap-
pointed, the latter having been recommended
for the place when vacancy should occur. 1t
now turns out that the clerk in charge of ac-
counts was wrong, and that the removal of Mr..
Smith under such charges an injustice |
would not approve of such an act, aud am
sure that Mr.. Percival would not. The latters
nomination, therefore, has been withdrawn. so
that whatever may be done i'll the future may
be entirely independent OF the charge preferred
against Mr. Smith. The secretary telegra IAled.

farms are compelled to giEe up all thgS
money they have to the church, and then
they are turned adritt to live as best they
can. Preston and his young wife were con-
verted to Mormonism about year ago by
two elders who We're proselyting in Clay
county. They sold all they had and went
to Utah. Preston says his wife was stolen
from him and carried to Salt Lake City, he
thinks, but he was never able to lind any
trace of her. He was then by threats COM
PEELED to give the church all the money he

HURLEY, Wis, Special Telegram,
The entire force of miners at the Aurora

trouble being over the appointment of the
mine physician. 1t is customary in the
iron country for each mine to appoint
physician, who receives 81 month from

Cabe held this position at the Aurora for a
number of years until a couple of weeks
ago, when General Manager Dickerman dis
charged them substituting Dr. Mcleod.
This appointment was anything but satis-

they pay the physicians, they were entitled
to some voice in the matter. A number of
meeGags were held, and a committee of
miners was appointed to wait on the man.

and McCabe be reinstated. The manage

is entirely suspended, only enough men
being at work to keep it clear of water.
Threats of violence have been made against
any one who attempts to work. Ifthe mat

likely to be very serious as it may result in

DENIED THE MOTION.
Final Decision in a Celebrated Land

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram
Secretary Noble to-day denied a motion for
review of the case of P. McWeeney VS..
Charles W. Greene, involving title to land
in section 35, township 154. range GA, of the
Devils Lake, N. D., district. This case
was decided last summer, when a review
was asked by Mary McWeeney, the wife of
P. McWeeney. The land is almost in the
city of Devils Lake. McWeeny held an
other tract when the Ward boys of Chicago
were killed. He was one of the twelve who
killed the w ards, and while his trial was
pending was in Jail at Devils Lake.
Mary McGillecudy became attached
to him there and married him.
When McWeeny was released they
went to Devils Lake. He was appointed a
special officer, and was killed by Billy
Oswald. The latter was sentenced to twelve
years, but was pardoned by Gov. Mellette a
Short, time before he ceased to be governor
of Dakota Territory; Greene, W no was in

Boomers continued to cross the river all

number of fights took place. About mid
night fight took place between a number
of half-breed bullies and a fellow called
Jesse James, who took over load of hard
ware and started a store in tent. The
halfbreeds have grudge against him, and
assaulted him. He was numerically
beaten about the head and face
with the butt end of a six-shooter.
His nose was smashed and he was danger
ously wounded in the head. He was car
ried over to Pierre this morning in an un-
