View Things That Are oId.

In spite of the protests of inventors
and of those who think they have inves-
tigated everything since the deluge, that
there is nothing new under the sun, the
psalmist was right when he put that
thought into the coloquial language.
On the Assyrian slabs, and on more
than one old European fresco is seen the
paddle wheel of a boat, although the
propeller is not in evidence. The bicy-
Gle seems to have been known in China
more than two hundred years ago, and
the velocipede was seen in Europe
even before that. On pane of the an
cient painted glass in the old church at
Stoke Pogis, England, may be seen the
of young fellow astride
of one of these machines. He is work
ing his way along with the air of rider
who has introduced a novelty, and is the
object of the unbounded admiration of
a multitude of witnesses.

Side Tracked by a Free Coin
age Substitute.
Alien Prepares Bill Extending the
Time of Payment for Public Lands
Opposes the Administration and In
wolves TO, 900 Acres Utah After
a Slice of Arizona.

Washington, Feb. o.--The belated tar
if bill emerged from the finance com
inittee today and made its appearance
in the Senate soon after the session
opened. Chairman Morrill, made the
report, stating that free silver amend
ment had taken the place of the orig
inal bin, and adding, amid laughter, the
closing phrase Of official procedure of
Massachusetts, "and may God save the
commonwealth"
Mr.. Quay made TWO attemps to have
the bill reeommitted to the committee,
with Instructions 70 report back separ
ate tariff and free silver bills, but was
cut off by parliamentary objections. His
resolution for recemmittment will come
up, under the rules, tomorrow.
A sharp contest occurred at O'Clock
between the senators favorable to adj
vancing the appropriation bills and
those desiring 10 take up general legis-
lation. The latter element prevailed in
two test votes, and the right OF way was
secured by the resolution of Mr.. Dubois
of Idaho, to reform the method OF con
sidering appropriation bills by distrib
ing them among the several commit
tees. This was strenously resisted by
the friends of the appropriation com
mittee, who contenied that the change |
was revolutionary and designed to dis
mantle the committee. The final vote
was not reached, but II was evident from
the debate and incidental votes that a
majority favored the change
Among the bills introduced in the
Senate today were the following

of appetite.
Glass bedsteads may be proof against
lightning and bugs but it is hardly 10 be
expected that glass houses should be free
from mice. The inmates could hardly
do better than to employ glass traps for
the capture of such vermin. The great
advantage of the glass trap, &C
cording to the statement of the inventor,
is that 'if a mouse should enter the trap,
he may be seen by others who chanceto
come that way, and they will be in
cIined to Join the one inside, especially
when they observe that he is nibbling

BONA-FIDE PURCHASERS.
Congressman Aliens Bill Protects
Them In Their Rights.

Washington, Feb. o.-The House
Committee on Public Lands today re-
considered its action of last week in
adopting bill to carry out the recon-
mendations of President Cleveland's
message that the limitation of five years
for bringing suits to annul titles to pat
ents established by the act of March,
1901, be repealed. Another bill embody
ing the views of different members of
the committee and intended to furnish
full protection to purchasers in good
faith, drawn by Mr.. Allen of Utah, was
substituted for the first bill. Chairman
Lacey will report it to the House. AS
this legislation may affect the title to Co.
100000 of acres, it has been difficult for
the committee to draw a satisfactory
bill.
The new bill provides that suits to be
brought by the United States to annul
patents to lands enormously issued UNI
der special grant shall only be brought
within five years from the passage of the
act, and suits to annul patents hereafter
issued must be brought within ten years
after their date. The bill expressly con-
firms the titles of bona-fide purchasers,
and provides that if any party claiming
to be bona-tide purchaser presents his
claim to the Secretary of the Interior be-
fore the institution of suit to cancel |
patent, and his claim is found to be |
valid the Secretary shall request that
suit be brought against the original pat
entee for a sum not less than the mini
mum government prices for the lands,
md not more than the amount paid by
he purchasers. Another section makes
he courts having jurisdiction over suits
under the act the final authority on the
'ona-fide purchasers, and provides that
claimants who have not submitted their
'laims to the Secretary of the Interior |
nay intervene in suits begun, and have Il
heir claims adjudicated by becoming {
arties in that way to the litigation. The I
i'll also provides that no suit shall be | r
rought to annul patents, when parties /
ave presented claims to Re bona. fide n

Kidnapped and Killed.

Chicago. Feb. "a special from AL
buquerque says Col. A. J. Fountain,
one Of the best known men in New
Mexico, was Kidnapped on the road from
Las Cruces to White Oaks by cattle
thieves and is believed to have been
killed, together with his little son who
was his only travelling companion.
Fountain was prosecuting attorney for
the district and has been pushing the
rustlers hard He had just been atcourt
in Lincoln county, where he had indict-
ed a number of them, and was on his
way home when he was waylaid and
doubtless killed. A large party is scour-
ing the country for the rustlers.
FL Paso. Texas, Feb. 5.-The vigilance
committee, headed by Maj. Llewellyn of

heeled boots were found also on of his
horses. The pursuers are hot on the

Southern Hospitality.

A discourse on southern hospitality
would be upon an old text; but as most
old texts are the especially good ones, it
would be pity quite to drop them. 1t
has been predicted that with the aboli-
ton of slavery and the consequent diff
Guilty of securing household assistance,
there will be decline of the old famed
hospitality; that it will not outlive this
generation. Were the heartiness of this
virtue confined to eating, drinking and
housing, we might fear that with in
creased household labor might be de-
creased cordially of entertainment, but
there is a further manifestation than the
mere attention to appetite. It's the be-
ing welcome to what they have, rather
the attention to what they have, which
especially marks the warmth of south
ern manner; we hope it is long that we
shall know and remember this beautiful
rtue.-Womankind.

QUESTION OF WATER RIGHTS.
Can Perpetual Right be Collected for
Before Water is Delivered

Boise, Ida, Feb. S.-An interesting
suit was begun in the district court to-
day that is to test the right OF ditch
company to collect for perpetual water
right before delivering water.
The management of the Ridenbaugh
canal served notice this year that those
desiring to irrigate new land would have
to buy the water right therefor at $40
pes acre, the annual rental being re-
duccd from $Iso to 81 an acre for such
consumers II has raised loud protest
and number of meetings of settlers
have been held to consider the matter.
The case is brought by II. J. Wilterding,
who rendered $50 for years rental for
water for new tract of forty acres.
The plaintiff alleges there is sufficient
water at the disposal of the company to
irrigate the land in question, quite a
surplus passing by the land. He asks
that a writ of mandate issue compelling
Mr.. Green to sell him water for his land
AT the rafe of $3.50 an acre, under the
original rules and regulations, without
the payment of any sum for perpetual
water right.

Washington, Feb 0.--Senator Shoup
has visited the treasury department for
the purpose of securing a speedy pay
ment 10 the Nez Perez Indians of the
interest on the 81 100000 still due them
Senator Shcsp was assured that In the
near future the matter of the payment
of this interest money would be taken
mp for settlement. The treasury de-
partmcnt, owing to pressure of other
business. as well as 70 the fact that the
Nez Perces have but recently received
large sums of money and are not in ac-
tual need, has delayed settlement in this
case, but promises to make proper pay
ment in a reasonable time.
Senator Shoup will endeavor to have
inserted in the urgent deficiency bill an
EN- for the payment of something over
$1,000 for public surveys in Idaho. The
contract was let in 1893, but ona, ooun-
of delay in forwarding papers to Wash
ington, the money appropriated lapsed
into the treasury. Senator Shoup's OBJ
jeet is to have this money reappropri-
ated.
Senator Clark of Wyoming today re-
ported adversely the bill providing that
no person shall be eligible to be assignee
or receiver of a bankrupt corporation
who had been an officer or employee of
that corporation within three years prior
