and be has q nuus5er Of times looked

speech In his state with his pistol II nls
pocket and while be vas speaking pistols
have come OFT before his eyes II the hands
OF his audience. During the REBELLION lie
was in the army from Onio, and y Was
through failing health that he had 10 re-
sign and went West IN the camp
where he settled there vas = band o.
Southern syn pathsZe-s. and these under
took 70 haul doEa the stars and stripes
from the Hagpole n the pzbl1c square,
with the idea Of raising the stars and bars
As they caught bold o. TIE rope, Sanders,
who was standing near by. p1lled our
revolver, and said 70 them: ''So one
shalI haul down that tag while / live"
The MOB then looked ~ the tag and then
Il the revolver and into the eyes of the
determined young man who held e, and
they decided 70 lei the nag stand. AZ an

Jumped for . gun and got the drop on
him AT another time. when he vas try

was questioning the Witnesses and ierked
out bis revolver and said. IS he looked
aIong us barrel az Sanders: IF yoa put

shoot YOU" Young Sanders turned cooliy
around and looking into the ugly pistol
and over il az the lawyer behind with
most confempsuous smile, said: 1T would
be Just Ike yoa TO Shoot man in the
back" he therelpon turned around and
asked the witness the same question over
again, and the counsel, strange 10 say. did
not ire. Had De done so the feeling
against such . cowardly act would have
been such that he would have been surely
killed Sanders IS one Of the
f En- laxyers Of the Northwest s9t
presidents yearly salary during the re-
cesses OF the Senate AZ the Law. ard he Is
said 20 have much Of the sarcastic power
OF ex-senator ingalls,. He has been rather
quiet in the Senate so far, but during the
coming session he VIII probably make
some speeches which viii astOnish his fell
low senator's. He IS not a bad-looking
man. He Is six feet tall, and his wiry
frame has lot an ounce Of superduous
flesh on il. His hair is black, his com
plexion dark and MS face Is q strong
one. Ee dresses in black, but cares little
for appearances. and he is more slouchy
than dignihed. He IS very popular at
Washington City, and he stands high
among the best men Of the Senate.
KEEP yoUE EYES ON THEN
There are score Of other prominent
men from the Northwest az Washington
City. Every one knows the record Of
William f. Villas, who. cold and cIeau-cut,
Is considered one Of the finest orators of
the country. and who is bound to make a
great reputation IN congress. Villas is IN
his prime. During his whole 81 years he
has never wasted penny, either lnan-
cially or intellectually, and he has the ae-
cumulative savings OF 4 lifetime TO use in
his political and forensic struggles. He
Will probably be = leader Of the Democratic
side Of the chamber. and he is enough Of
politician 70 know that he has 10 take care
OF his state and his section.
There IS large Norwegian element rep
resented by number OF Norseren in the
make itself felt. and the Alliance senator.
Mr.. Kyle. Of Dakota. though be is said 10
be weaker brother, may turn OFT 10 De q
singed cat.
Thomas c. Power. OF Montans. is q type
of the conservative Northwest business
man. he has made fortune in trading
with the Indians, and he Is interested in
nearly every industry that goes on in
Montana He came TO the state with 10
capital whatever, and he was the son of
an Iowa farmer who lived near DUBUQUE,
the home of Senator Allison. He is
short, clean-cut, grsy-mustached man of
abou. 81 who, during his life, has been
rather an apostle OF Crnsus than of
Demosthenes, and whose success in the
Senate viii be almost altogether in COM
mittee work and not on the floor
Both OF the Wyoming senators are good
men, and Senator Carey is one of the finest
looking men in congress. Warren has
made fortune in the West, and he is still
under 50. The prospects of young Dubois.
OF Idaho. are good, and the same may be
said OF his colleague, Senator Shoup. All
told, you viii not find in congress set of
men who viii average up better than these
senators from the Northwest, and it will
pay the people Of the United States to
keep their eyes on them.
