There were 10 or n dozen OF us seated
about redhot stove in a back country
ttors one fearfully cold December evening.
and the wag Of the party had Just finished
story that convulsed us all with laughter,
when the store door was slowly pushed
open aud little, bent old woman came
hobbling in. She was poorly and thinly
dressed in calico, and her face and hands
were blue with the cold. She stood shiver-
ing by the door and looking at us appeal
ingly as she faltered
"Mayn't please come and git warmt"
In an instant every man was on his feet.
offering her his seat by the stove She
came forward as quickly as she could, tuck
ing lock Of white hair back beneath the
poor old fashioned bonnet.
"Thankee, thanked" she murmured as
she sank down and held her withered, trem-
bling hands out toward the stove. Its
dreadful cold tonight. When body tits
long in years they can't stand the cold like
young folks"
Not one of the party had ever seen the
old woman before. and all were filed with
wonder, Finally Judsen, the storekeeper,
ventured to inquire how she came to be out
on such u night.

The secretary OF agriculture Is receiv-
ing some very dlscouraging reports from
Nebraska and other parts OF the west
about the corn crop, and said that he be-
lieved that the late hot wave had done
Nebraska more harm than any one

tory was admitted to the union.
Representative Boon OF Minnesota has
introduced a bill to abolish national
banks. He would make 1t unlawful to
charter a bank or provide additional

withdraw all deposits Of public money
from the banks and return them to the
treasury.

once proposed by the republic OF Mexico

the Wilderness, he was shot III the

sion of $50 per month up until Sep
TENDER last, when it was suspended.
In January this year,he was arrested
on a charge of obtaining a pension
by fraudulent means, handcuted,
taken to Washington and consigned
to cell. The theory set up by the
Pension Bureau was that he was
putting a drug into his eyes to make
them appear diseased. The physi-
clans said that he would have to be
watched five days to determine.
This week and during the absence
of the warden, an order was received
at the Jail from the Pension Bureau
to place him on bread and water
diet, and handcuff him 10 ;he door
of his cell for that length of time,
placing a guard over him. This was
done and Dodge suffered untold mis-
cries. When released the pension
officials said they had nothing
against him and had made mistake
They refused to restore his pension.
He was assisted TO Pittsburg and

Ex.Gov. Austin Blair died at his

Few men whose history has been
identified with the history Of the

so untarnished name and so univer-

his departure is as deeply mourned
as has been that of any man OF the
present generation. 1t is truly said,

cate of all that he believed to be
right, and yet his bitterest enemies

The republican senators a"e IN

further limitation of immigration,
but The democrats in the senate have
not shown disposition TO accept The
challenge and they may choose to
permit the republicans 10 monopo-

Press Despatch.
If the democratic party thinks 1t
can afford to treat the subject OF
immigration as a partizan question it
is woefully mistaken. The intelligent
and patriotic people of this country
demand such a revision of our immi-
grafton laws as shall result in the
exclusion Of alien anarchists and
paupers and the farther restriction
Of foreign labor. They demand this
for the protection OF their own; for
the protection Of their institutions,
Of society and Of home labor. Ii
should not be made a partizan issue.
If it is il will be because the demo
Gratis in congress are false to their
duty, false to their obligations TO the
American people. Let them unite
with the republican minority and
amend the immigration laws for the
better protection of our country. II
they refuse to do this then let them
be denounced and condemned as
they deserve.

which is unusually heavy and rough for
this time of year. Every effort was made
TO release the boat, but so terrific was
the power OF the grinding ice that the
Ragnvald Jarl was little more than an
eggshel I'm its destructive grasp. Com
mander Wellman and the rest OF the
members OF the expedition had sufficient
warning OF the fate OF the Ragnvald Jarl
TO escape TO the ice with nearly all OF

Judgment was rendered by Judge X. q.

State Treasurers Bates and Kuhn for in
terest on state funds retained during

from the cases previously decided in that

fed that the treasurer must thereafter

tended that this implied ratification Of

Judge Siebecker holds that II has been
decided that such interest is not a per-
Quisite, but a part OF the state funds.
