IT looks as though a little Reed and
Richards medicine would have to be ad-
ministered to the recalcltrant republi-
can senators in the New York legisla-
ture. The senate of that state consists
of thlrty-two members. There are six
teen democratic senators, fifteen repub-
licans and one seat in doubt, the repub-
lican elected to the latter having been
declared ineligible by the court of APP
peals. The lieutenant governor is a dem
ocrat. Seventeen senators constitute a
quorum to do business. The republi-
cans propose to prevent an organization
by %absenting themselves. Whether Lieu-
tenant Governor Sheehan will declare
that he sees a quorum present, as did
Reed in the house of representatives, OF
that sixteen or any smaller number is
majority of ~thirty-two, a la Richards, re.
mains to be seen. Whatever precedent
is followed u republican friends o.
course will declare that Mr.. Sheehan'I
judgment is just and righteous alto,

The assembling Of the irrigation con-
vention in this city on Thursday is an
event whose Importance few persons yet
fully measure. It is, to he sure, an I'M
official body, without authority to frame
or make laws, but as an assemblage Of
able and disinterested citizens knowing
tho needs of our state and having the
public good for their sole object, it's
views and recommendations will have
the greatest weight with congress which
probably will determine this winter
what disposition it will make Of the arid
lands.
The discussions in the convention
should be full, earnest and thorough,
that the conclusions reached may be
such as may be c~rystalized into whole
some and beneioent law.

4 The Comm unltv,s Curse.

The currish spirit which clutches eve ~
thing within reach and gives nothing in re-
turn is too despicable for the toleratio n of
fair-minded people. The man who disre-
CARDS the claims upon him by a community
in which and out of which he has made his
millions, who has Il soul 80 small or 30 dead
that he feels no pride in his own city nol
any ambition to maintain its enterprises O.
promote it's prosperity, is probably imper,
yious to public scorn and contempt, but
should, nevertheless, be made to realize
that he has earned them and that they ar,
unanimously accorded him.-MinneapoIit

indeed If the majority in congress, put
there as a protest and a warning against
the present tariff policy, fails TO leglslate
for other interests than those OF the.
manufacturers. Such folly would be
incomprehensible.

away from the posts on or near the res

of peace should be considered, but the
discipline and education OF our standing
army. The greatest of all schools for
the soldier is the school Of frontier ex.
psrienue. In the nature of things the
only seasoning the officers and men Of
our army can get is in dealing with the
Indian. While we do not want a large
standing army We certainly should have
an efficient one, one that in case of wal

invaluable nucleus for volunteer

small detachments are unnoticed.

CONGRESS reassembles to-day after

some delay in starting on the sessions

during the recess, and as a consequence
new rules have not been framed. It is
probable that a speaker pro tempore

which event the various appropriation
committees can get to work on their

Nuts and Nutrition.

A good story is told of DR.. Dio Lewis,
who wished to make marked impression
on the minds of his boarding school
girls. They teased for nuts at dinner,
and were promised all they wanted. The
next day nothing but nuts appeared on
the table. "Now, girls" said DR.. Lewis,
"eat all you want and you will be as well
off as if you had your usual dinner; but
nuts taken after heavy meal are too
much for the stomach to bear, and surely
bring ON indigestion" The Plowman
says: "Scientists have pronounced nuts
an excellent article of diet. In this case
they are not to be eaten as desert, but
as tie main staple of the meal. Nut
trees beautify lawn and serve for utility
and ornament at the same time. The
cost Of planting and growing is small.
The market for nuts is assured. They
may be called one of the staples of COM

Caught a Great Eagla.

P. Marker, who is working out at A.
II. Smiths sawmill on Rife Creek, set
large trap, thinking to catch a monster
bear, whose tracks were seen in the
neighboGhood. Several days after ne
went out to look at his trap, but instead
of the bear he found large eagle, the
largest, perhaps, ever seen in the Rocky
Mountains. The eagle had been caught
in the powerful jaws of the trap by one
leg just above the claws. He had dragged
the immense trap, which was secured to
a log by chain, into some brush more
than twenty-five feet from the spot where
trapped, and was dead. So large and
strong was his leg that it was not broken.
The eagle was too large to carry, so the
trapper cut both legs off as trophies.
he measured the huge bird, and it was
twelve feet from tip to tip of its out
stretched wings.-Myrtle Point West

In Canon Diablo, Arizona, hole 625
feet deep, supposed to have been made

The theory is that from the appearance
of the walls and the fact that they have
found many pieces of meteoric iron
around the hole the meteor penetrated
the earth to depth of. 700 or $40 feet
before it exploded, and this accounts for
the strange phenomena. Three piece.
of the meteor, weighing 300, 6OO ard
$50 pounds respectively, were found on
tue mesa within two miles of the crater.

curing it. The poisonous, irrita.

they may drive the disease to the
