DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
Germany Thought of Nothing But the
Public Health.

Public Health.
WASHINGTON, March 23-The trouble
between the United States and Germany
over the latter's exclusion of American
cattle has assumed a more pacific aspect
of late and officials are hopeful that the
subject may be adjusted without further
friction. The German authorities have
urged with apparent sincerity that they
had no purpose to retaliate against the
United States, because of the tariff diff
ferential duty placed on German sugars.
1t has been pointed out that Germany
took a similar action against her near
neighbor Austria, when it was suspected
that hogs coming from Austria were con-
terminated. And as Austria and Germany
urged that her course is shown TO be in-
spired entirely by sanitary precaution,
and not through political retaliation.
The German authorities also take the
position that they will at once end the
exclusion of American cattle when it is
established that they are entirely free
from disease.
In their Investigations of the subject
they have become satisfied that the
methods of government inspection in
this country are very rigid and effective,
and they do not doubt that this will lead
to such perfect healthfulness among the
cattle shipped abroad that the cause for
the exclusion will disappear at no dis
tant day. Assurances are given that
when this occurs the embargo will be at
once suspended.

One who has not seen a prairie fire can
form no conception of 1t; but, on the 9th
er hand, having seen one, the memory can
never be effaced.
John Millar started In his sleep; he

Indeed, no. The situation flashed on him
instantly, and hastily descending to the
door he saw that the demon of the prairie
was coming on with lightning speed.
There was safety in the river. Could they
reach it? In another moment he had
caught his mother in his arms, and bare
headed he rushed out into the night. He
could hear the roar of the oncoming, all
devouring fury. The burden in his arms,
Light as it was, proved almost too much
for his boyish strength, but the fire of de-
termination was in his eye, and he rushed
forward. The soft, springy soil gave way
under his feet. Tho air was heavy with
smoke. Still he pressed on. He saw moth
ing. but the broad Missouri and its sandy
banks were almost reached. With one
final effort he plunged forward and laid
his precious burden upon the cool sands.

lie Talks About Irrigation and COining of
silver.
DENVER, Jan. 8-Gov. Waite went out
of office and Gov. McIntire came in at
noon today.
After ex- Gov. Waite had spoken few
words of farewell to his associates and
of greeting to his successor, Gov. McIn-
tire read his inaugural address.
He recommends the use of the inter-
nal improvement storage reservoirs for
irrigation purposes. Legislation is sug-
gested to require coal companies to pay
wages in cash instead of scrip, to stop
the sale of real estate on trust deeds
without foreclosure proceedings; to
prevent inj Justice to debtors under
the attachment laws. A general law
suggested to permit cities of the first
grade to hold representative or constitu-
tional conventions for framing their
charters to be submitted to the people
for confirmation or rejection. The gov
ernor calls attention to the fact that the
present laws are inadequate to suppress
gam bling in the smaller towns and sug-
gests Legislation with that end in view.
On the subject of railways, the COVER
nor said: "lf it be the fact which can be
ascertained by investigation that unjust
indiscrimination is wilfully practiced by
railway corporations subject to the legis-
lative control of this state, then legisIa-
ton should be enacted to prevent it, and
such legislation should be wise, just and
effective"
The governor pronounced equal suf-
frage a success.
/ In conclusion, he said: "We do not ex-
pect legislation favorable to silver, be-
cause it is the money of the constitution.
nor because we expect sympathy, or
charity from any source, nor because we
as producers are, interested in en-
hancing its value, but because its
restoration is absolutely decreed by a
natural law of commerce that cannot be
disobeyed with the punishment follow
ing The punishment is being inflicted
now and will be 10 me more and more
grievous until endurance must cease and
blindness and prejudice, design and sell
fshness must all yield to the crushing
force of natural laws.
This country must submit first because
its population and the consequent great
er need of commercial expansion will
make the friction of clogged ex-
changes more and more intense. The
more acute the trouble the more active
the effort to find out the cause. The
! trouble is that exchanges cannot be free

of the people of the United States the
only remedy there is, or can be, will be
applied, and silver will be restored al

haps 1516 to 1, that is, the ratio
which their relative quantities in store

The counsel for the prisoners decided

further before the circuit court. but will
on Saturday of this week ask the United
States supreme court at Washington for
writ of habeas corpus. On this applica-
ton whether it is granted or not, they
will have the right TO take an appeal,
and on this appeal may secure the liber-
alton of the prisoners on bail pending a
hearing.
Acting under the direction of Clerk
Burlham, Mr.. Pickard, his assistant, is
sued orders of commitment on which
Marshal Arnold, if he feels so disposed,
may send the prisoner to Jail.
The marshal says, however, that he
will take no further proceedings until he
has direct orders from Judge Woods, to
whom he will apply for instructions this
afternoon.
The cumulative sentence imposed on
Debs was one year and on the other de-
PENDANTS six months.

Craze For old Masters.

Any one who, a few years ago, would
have foretold the return i'll our day of the
traditional American craze for spurious
t'old masters would have been laughed
to scorn. 1t might indeed have been sup
posed that the hard lesson that was taught
some rich New Workers when, after few
years proud possession, they sent to auc-
tion or otherwise tried to realize on
their "Titians, - 'Da Vincis, y "Correg
gios'' and 'Murillos,' would not SO sooR
have been forgotten. But one generation
is not apt to learn from the follies of an
other, even if the other be only SO recent as
the generation Immediately preceding it.
Every body knows everything about pic
lures today-or thinks he does. So we
find that some of our wIsest " art patrons"
are just as much the dupes of the keen
witted dealers as their fathers and their
grandfathers were before them. The chief
difference is that now, rejecting the fash
ions of London and Paris, the rage is for
''early English and old Dutch and Flen-
ish masters. while formerly it was for the
Italian anu Spanish schools.-Art Anna

When the opening exercises of the

that they would do their duty to the best
of their ability and honestly before the

A member of the Topeka bar who was
present and witnessed the proceedings
said: Years ago when Judge Horton
was United States district attorney, Hib
Case used to say that he hated to go into
court with him because Horton looked so
much like preacher he could make
jury believe everything he said. Now
the truth of Hib's saying was never more
evident than today. Horton looked just
like bishop administering the sacra-
ment as be stood up there swearing in
those members"

The wonderful capacity of Major Hood
for business has just been pointedly
shown by his return from New York
city this, Tuesday morning, notwith-
standing the fact that he was here il

Although a candidate for the high
office of United States senator, he found
it imperative to go to New York city on
business matters in which others were
largely interested
While most candidates for office under
the circumstances would have stayed
right on the ground, Major Hood determ-
ined to perform his business duty and
slip away just before the Legislature con-
vened and be back quickly. The legis-
lature had not been called to order when
he was again at his headquarters in this
city this morning.
He left Topeka Thursday night, ar
ranged by wire for all mis- appointments
in New York City, reached the
metropolis Saturday evening, finished
his business Saturday night, started for
home Sunday morning and arrived here
at half past ten today, bright and active,

than four days.
