Worse Than Train Robbing.

1t would be a good thing to have
law under the provisions of which
legislature which would attempt
to give state such an apportion-
meut as the greedy democracy gave
Wisconsin last year, could be
suatched up and switched off to the
house Of correction for five years,
and be put at hard labor 1t was
such work as you might expect
from a gang of train robbers, but
honest men should shuu such deeds
as they would the practice Of high
way robbery. That work, the most
brazen-faced and thieving of its
kind ever done, was executed with
the sanction of his honor, Bill
Villas, senator by virtue Of a re
publican blunder, Boss Wall, and
their organs, and it was planned by
the foxiest schemer in the political

Success of Rusk's "Horse Book. ~


No government publication of re-
cent years has been so much talked
about, and been so highly com,
mended, as the so-callej "Horse
Book" Although at first some
people were skeptical and con
demned the book before having
seen it, it has steadily won its way
into popular favor until it has come
to be regarded as the best work Of
the kind in existence. When it first
appeared, and Congress was asked
to print u large number of copies
with costly colored illustrations,
it met With strong opposition.
Senator Vest said he had no doubt
but that as rule the horsemen
throughout the country already
knew more about the horse than
anybody in the Department of AgrI-
culture. Nevertheless, As the char
acter of the Horse Book became
more generally known, the demand
for it has been very great. Although
placed upon the market less than
Two years ago, a total Of 5000
copies has been distributed, con.
siderable number going to foreign
countries. Senator Blackburn got
one of the earliest copies, and after
sitting up until 2 O'clock a. IN. read
ing it, promptly applied to Secre-
tary Rusk for 2 200 copies which he
wanted to distribute among the
horse fanciers of the Blue Grass
region. More recently Senator
Voorhees, gave the Horse Book the
warmest commentator Ia Offering
resolution for the printing of
100000 additional copies, ne said
the book is in greater demand than
any other ever published by the
government. 1t was, he said, of
exceeding importance, and money
spent in printing sat distributing
this work would be well spent.
One of the strongest endorsements
received by Senator Rusk came
from a cultured farmer in Jefferson
county, Wis, who declares that the
Horse Book is the best work of the
kind ever issued in this country or
in Europe.

Good looks are more than skin
deep, depending upon a healthy con-
dition of all the vital organs. If
the liver be inactive, you have a
bilious look, if your stomach be dis
ordered you have a dispeptic look,
and if your kidneys be affected YOU
have a pinched look. Secure good
health and you will have good looks.

guards reached the city.
As soon as the cars came to stand
still the crowd, which had been pa

time, made an exciting rush toward
the car which the Deening party occu-

WASHINGTON, March I6 Represent
atives of The liquor interests have been
aroused rather suddenly to the impress
sion that there is grave danger for
them in the so-called pure food bill
which passed the senate last week.
They were at the capital yesterday in
numbers aud were canvassing the
prospect of changes by the house. The
bill has gone to the house committee
on Interstate commerce. Mr.. Hateh's
committee on agriculture has a
similar bill, and before the chairman
left for Missouri last week had al
most finished consideration of it. Had
Mr.. Hatch been here he could probably
have insisted on the reference of the
senate bill to his committee, where it
belonged. Since it has gone to the in
ter-state commerce committee that
body has decided to hear interested
parties The temperance people see an
opportunity to get in S me work and
have applied for day before the COM
mittee. They have discovered stimuli

quality or strength and deceive the
purchaser. 1t forbids mixing and coll

The saving clause, which is all that
stands between the liquormen and
wholesale condemnation of many of
their products, is this: Provided that
an article of food or drug which does
not contain any added poisonous in
gredient shall not be deemed TO be

This clause the temperance people
will try to have amended to read in
form much more sweeping against the
liquor business as follows: Provided,
that an article of food or drug which
does not contain any added or mixed
Ingredient, deleterious or poisonous to
health, shall not be deemed to be
adulterated. That would give wide
latitude to reach the handlers of
liquors. The liquor lobby is up in
arms to fight this, and defeat the
whole bill, if possible.
