NEAL DOW,

Dow how when a young man he took
up the weapons in the war against the
liquor traffic, and when but 81 won his
first battle. He ~persevered, knowing
that if he could but arouse the temper
ance sentiment, that the movement
would grow as the years progressed.
He was called a crank, and was sub
iected to the hardest persecution, but
being of a stubborn fighting disposition,
he did not lose courage. The prohibit
tory law which has made tho State of
Maine famous, and in which no flaw has
been found by the shrewdest lawyer,
was the result of BOWS efforts. Rev.
DR.. II. H. Wells related how when in
England he had gone down into the
crypt under st. Peters and had there
seen all that remained of the great Lord
Nelson and other conquerors of the con-
tinent. Rev. DR.. Wells said that great
as was the honor due to these men, the
honor won by Neal Dow was even
greater. Dow had won a greater
battle. 1t was a battle which
had saved a nation from degrade
ton. It was impossible, said
the speaker, to realize the terrible diff
culties which beset Dow in his first
work. The drinking Of Intoxicating
liquors was an established custom, and
was followed by the pastors, who deliv-
cred their best N while under the
inspiration of alcohol. Partaking of in
toxicating liquor was considered the
proper thing, and when Dow came into
warfare with the custom he was called
a fanatic: Such a reform was unheard
Of then, but the idomitable will of Dow,
backed by the conviction of right, won
battles which have made him as noted
as any of the great men of the century.
Exercises of like nature were held at
several other churches.

NOT 4UEENsBERRY RULES.

Fathers Take a Hand in a Fight Arranged
by Their Sous.
BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis, March 20.
An amusing report m from neal
Cataract, a few miles from this city,
regarding two young men who seriously
quarreled over a wrestling match and
decided to settle it according to Marquis
of Queensberry rules, and arranged to
meet the. next day. Meanti me the
fathers of the boys heard of it and were
on hand just as the boys were stripped
''for the fray" The boys were anxious
to get into their clothes at once, but their
fathers told them to settle it then and
there, but desired to take a part in it
themselves, and each of them pulled
from under his coat a good rawhide
whip. These were given to the boys
and they were told to use them instead
of their fists. The boys we're there for
''blood," and at it they went, and it is
safe to say that the two boys never had
such a larupping in their lives. But
n round was sufficient, and nothing
would induce either to again face the
cruel whips. They were both very
meek and had a great deal of respect
for each other, while the spectators
thought it wa the greatest circus they
aver saw,

APPROPRIATIONS.
Amounts to Be Expended by This Con-
gress Compared With the Last.

Amounts to Be Expended by this Con-
gress Compared With the Last.
WASHINGTON. March 20.-The total
of appropriations of the present session
of congress will exceed by a few millions
the appropriations of the first session of
the last congress. No official statement
has been made by Chairman Sayers or
the members Of the appropriation COM
mittee, but a comparison Of the bills
already passed or reported with those
of the first session Of the last congress,
shows that the total of bills as they
leave the house will be about 1856, 46l,-
597. The senate usually increases the
bills materially; last year securing in
creases reaching a total of SIS, 900, 900, so
that the aggregate for the present ses-
sion is expected to touch $3.50, 600, 600.
Eight of the great appropriation bills
have already been reported to the house
and three of them have been passed.
The total of these in their present stage
is $$3O4, 041, 75y. This is about $15, 600, 900
more than the same bills carried two
years ago.
Of the bills yet to be brought into the
house no exact estimate is obtainable,
owing to the care with which such bills
are guarded. These are the agricul-
tural, Indian, legislative, navy and river
and harbor. Last congress they carried
81, 494, III. In this the estimates are
for $62, 800, 600. Should these bills be
passed as estimated the total %appropria-
tions would be almost identical with
those of 1923.

confusion with dead fowls, dogs and
cows, and five dead and eight badly
wounded negroes. Old Alexander Les

HOMES IN THE BALANCE.
An Important Case Soon to Be Heard by
the Interior Department..

the Interior Department..
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-An i'm
portant case, growing out of the
''soonerism" at the Oklahoma opening,
will be given a hearing by the interior
department within a short time. The
case is Thomas Burch against Anton
Gaia, involving the latter's homestead
entry, made April rs. 1889, on a section
Of land on which Oklahoma City is now
located. Burch commenced a contest
against the entry in May, 1889, alleging
that Gaia entered the then prohibited
country prior to moor on April % of
that year in violation of the
act of congress and the presi-
dents proclamation opening the
land to settlement. The local
officers recommended the dismissal of
the contest, which was sustained on ap-
peal to the general land Office. A mo-
ton for rehearing was filed with the
secretary Of interior, since which Gaia
and many of the witnesses for the de.
Tense have been cow icted of perjury
for testimony given Defendants state
that the courts Of justice have been un-
knowingly made the tool of designing
persons to affect the disposition of these
cases. The most of the cases are to be
determined by the testimony to be taken
in this one.

MORE PROTECTION.
A Further Duty to Be Put on Sugar
on Account Of the Addition of a
Color Test.
The Abrogation of the Reciprocity
Treaties Also Incorporated In
the Bill.
An Estimate of the Amounts Appro-
priation Bills Of This Congress
Will Carry.

WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The Demo-
cratic members of the senate committee
on finance have completed their work
on the tariff bill, and will submit
changes which they have made in the
bill as drafted by the subcom-
mittee, at a meeting of the full commit
tee to be held during the afternoon.
The principal changes which they
have made in the bill are
in the sugar schedule, and
that has been modified so as to take
into account the color as we'll as the
polarization of sugar. The change
made will add one-eighth of a cent per
pound on the; color test, so as to insure
to the refner this much protection.
This is in accordance with the original
intention of the committee, but it has
been claimed that the bill as at first re-
ported to the full committee would dis
criminate against the refiners.
Declaration Against Reciprocity.
It is understood that the bill will be
amended so as to make positive declara-
tons for the abrogation of the recipro-
cities treaties made under the Mckinley
acts. This will be done simply to sat
isfy the sugar men and leave no doubt
as to the intention of the bill in this
respect and not because the Democratic
members of the committee have any
doubt that the bill as it now stands
would accomplish this purpose.
To Eliminate Hawaiian Matters.
It is also probable that the clauses in
the bill abrogating the Hawaiian treaty
some contention among the Democratic
members on this score, and two or three
votes have been taken upon a PROPOSE
ton to strike it out, a majority at first
opposing this change. The principal
argument which has been made for it
was based upon the ground Of ex-
pediency, and it has been urged that if
it should be permitted to remain it
would be the meal of introducing rhe
Hawaiian complications into the tariff
bill discussion. All have agreed that
this should be avoided, if possible, with
out surrendering too much, and the
latest reliable statement is that this
argument has won, and that
the amendment will be stricken out.
These, together with the restoration
of the present law regarding the tax on
domestic cigars, will be the principal
changes made. The lead ore duty and
whisky tax, as well as the duty placed
upon coal and iron ore, will remain as
placed in the bill by the Democratic
members. There will be a few changes
in the fruit schedule, and a
few minor articles which were
taken from the free list and made
dutiable will be restored to the free list.
The bill when it next sees light, will
also show several changes in the admin
~istrative part of the bill, and the
amendment inserted by the members of
the committee providing for the repeal
of the entire Mckinley act will be mod
flied, to either specify what portions of
that act shall remain in force, or to re-
peal the parts in conflict with the pend.
ino act

ment $50 feet. Six men persisted with
