Secretary CARL lie took good pains,
while positively denying the present ne
cessty for the proposed amendment to
an appropriation bill, giving the eecre-
tary of the treasury authority to Issue

to meet any delici. in the revenues, to
put in d bid for that very Legislation, by
saving in his Official communication to
the senate: ut is my opinion that the
secretary of the treasury ought TO be
permanently invested with authority to
issue and sell short time bonds or other
obligations of the government for the
purpose of raising money to meet such
deficiencies in the ordinary revenues as
may occur from time to time" Like

There is a deadlock in conference over
that Hawaiian cable amendment to the
consular and diplomatic appropriation
bill, the senate insisting that 1T shall
stand and the house that it snall be
struck out. Many senators still insist
that the amendment shall stand or the
bill fail.

edge of the country, the language and

his people, although he is not chief,
registered at the Hotel Spokane last
evening, deposited roll of greenbacks
with the clerk, and spent the evening
quietly looking over the CITY. Reuben
is on his way to Washington, d. c.,
charged with an important mission, SAYS
the Spokane Review. He is going to
endeavor to block a scheme of the chiefs
to prevent the payment OF the first in
stallment of purchase money to the In
dams, and thus DELAY the opening of the
reservation. 1t is not asmall undertake
ing, for the chiefs are powerful, and they
have money and have already sent
white attorney to the national capital to
carry out their plans.
The Nez Perces are divided into two
factions over the proposed opening OF
the reservation. One wing, numerically
the strongest by far, is called the treaty
party" for it coultenanced and aided
the proposed change. The other is the
"anti allotment party" Mr.. Reuben
said last night that the latter was COM
posed OF chiefs wto have large herds OF
stock. They will not be content with
their share of the allotment. They want
the residue OF the reserve for great
range, on which their stock may browse
and grow fat enough to ship to Chicago,
where it will bring many thousands into
their Golfers. To be sure the great body
OF the people do not want 1t so, but his
tory is full of the actions of great mon
archs who did not always consult their

try suffered from severe wind and cleo
trical storms. On Saturday afternoon a
terrific wind at st. Charles, H., blew

a LAUGH IN CHURCH

She sat on the Siding cushion,
The dear wee woman of four:
Her feet 10 their shiny slippers
Hung dangling over the floor.
She meant to be good; she had promised;
And so. with her big brown eyes.
She stared at the meeting house windows,
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at tie preacher;
But she thought of the honey bees
Droning away in the blossoms
That whitened the cherry trees.
She thought of the broken basket,
Where. curled in a dusky heap.
Three sleek, round puppies, with trlngy
ears,
Lay snuggIed and fast asleep.
Such soft. warm bodies to cudd;e,
Such queer little hearts 10 beat.
Such swift round tongues to kiss,
Such sprawling. cushiony feet.
She could feel in her claspng fingers
The touch of the satiny skin,
And cold. wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chin.
Then q sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over the parted lips.
SO quick that she could not catch it
With her rosy finger tips.
The people whispered, 'Bless the child!'
AS each one walked from Il nap:
But the dear wee woman hid her face
For shame in her mothers lap.

Presented n Pitiful Sight.

At the farm of l.. Wylanga was one of
the most pitiful sights of the storm. Wy
langa was some distance from his house
when the cyclone struck his fields. He
was picked up in the seeth of the gale
and carried bodily ove' forty acres of
land. He fell in a plowed field, practi
cally uninjured. but frantic as 10 the
safety of his own wife ard children. The
wind had lifted him over NO wire fences,
but on his return he hal to cut these
down in order to pass. He found his
house, barns. sheds and granaries gone.
His hogs and chickens were lying in
their yards. Still searching for his wife,
he walked TO the southwest Of his house.
In field titled for an early .rop of corn,
he found her, face DOWN. ard, uncOn-
scious She had been carrie before the
wind until her strength left her. In her
head was a terrible cash and from her
hips downward she was mass Of bruises.
Close 70 her bosom was clasped her baby,
dead. Thus husband and wife met, with
the rain beating down upon them and the
ruins of their home.
The description of the MeCoombs and
Wylanga property and school could be
repeated on nearly every section in the
wake of the storm.
Numerous victims were found lodged
in the trees, where they had been hurled
by the storm. and so seriously injured that
death is expected momcntarily. Two
grown boys who had come from the field
near Alton at the approach of the storm
were injured in the barnyard, one seri.

A BOGUS BILL.
Out of Which the Mice Had Cut the
Bad Mark.

Out of Which the Mice Had Cut the
Bad Mark.
Not long ago a $50 note was sent to
the United States treasury for re-
demption. Accompanying it was an
affidavit saying the owner had put it
in cigar box where mice had got at
it and nibbled it The note was
counterfeit Not only that, but it had
been through the treasury at some
previous time and had been stamped
with the word ''bad" in letters cut
out of the paper. But the alleged
mice had almost obliterated the let
tiers by nibbling around them. 1t was
a queer way for mice to behave, to
say the least of it. A detective of the
service was sent to look the matter
up. He investigated the case fully,
and reported that it was all right-in
short, that the note had been sub
mitted for redemption in good faith
The owner, it appears was an old
German sailor of respectable charac-
ter. Nevertheless, he would go on
an occasional spree. Waking up one
morning after a night of dissipation
he found all his money gone except
this note of $40. Somebody had
doubtless passed it off on him. He
noticed nothing wrong about it, and
had put it into the cigar box in which
he kept not only his ready money,
but also bird seed for his pet canary.
Mice attracted by the bird seed, Wis
tied the box and incidentally chewed
up the note. On finding it partly
destroyed the sailor forwarded it to
the treasurer at Washington. The
case is interesting, chiefly as an illus
tration of the way in which appear
lead.
