senator Thurston Thinks It's Passage
Less Likely Than Foreclosure.
Senator John NJ Thurston spent Christ
mas day with his family in Omaha.
Il think there will be no tariff or finan-
cial legislation at this session of Congress"
said the Senator. Il am satified, however,
that there Will De an extra session Of Con-
gress called to consider these matters
soon after the advent of the republican
administration, probably about March 10.
1t is pretty certain that there will be a new
tarin bill by the 1st of July"
do you think the government will fore
close its lien on the Union Pacific at an
early date?"
1T is altogether probable that the Attor-
ney General will appear early In January
and ask for foreclosure of the govern
ment's lien. The President will not wait
for Congress to act in this matter.

will &c on. The truth is that / have not
taken a great interest in this matter and

site opinion prevails. but what I've said IS
a fact nevertheless

Il should say that 1t is likely to pass the

OF the members are in favor of II, still It

any measure that is hard fought is likely
to fail, though it might pass were there
more time. However, I think the foreclo-

and Stole Jewels Worth $500.
Walter Alverson, six years old; his broth
er Sam, four, and his sister Bertha, three,
were all alone Christmas eve in Chicago
The house was still and dark when Walter
awoke. He sat up in bed and listened
There was a sound from the kitchen. Then
came footsteps. Walter was breathless; he
awoke his brother and sister.
The small boy crept through the darkness
and cautiously pushed ajar the kitchen
door. Over near the dangling stockings
was big man holding a lighted candle
and peering about the shelves. He was big
and fat, and he wore grea. fuzzy over
coat His beard was long and shaggy and
over his arm he carried a canvas sack that
bulged out in places in the most delightful
way.
Here I am. Santa Claus" said Walter,
as he stepped into the kitchen. Santa Claus
had looked scared at first. but when he
saw Walter In his bare feet and nightgown
he threw back his head and laughed until
the tears rolled down bis cheeks
We'll, well" he said Il didn't expect to
be caught by you little folks. You know,
generally get away without being seen, but
since you've got me, We'll just have a good
time"
Bertha and Sam had got out of bed now
and We're in the kitchen, too, their eyes
almost like saucers. They will never forget
the next half hour with Santa Claus. The
old man frolicked and laughed and pat
tered about the house with his sack and
finally he got out all the good things in the
pantry and partook of everything down to
mince pies and nuts.
Get hack to bed now, my dears" he said
Tor I've got to see a whole lot of other
boys and girls before daylight" Santa
Claus saw Walter and Sam and Bertha
safely in bed and he kissed them all good
bye. Then he disappeared.
santa Claus left three very happy chill
dren, and when Mr.. and Mrs Alverson
came home they had not the heart 10 tell
them that Santa Claus was a burglar. They

tremendous sers rsation in Wabash Col
lege, at Charlottesville, Ind, was caused
when 1t was learned that Charles NJ.
Rauch. the colleges representative at the
approaching state oratorical contest, had
been charged with plagiarism, and had con-
fessed his guilt The Wabash College con-
test to decide the honor of representing
the institution occurred last Saturday even
ing, and Rauch won brilliantly over seven
able opponents His victory was a popu-
lar one, as he was president of the senior
class, editor-in-chief Of the Wabash Maya
zine and center rush of the college foot
ball team. besides being a leader in Y. M.
c. A. work. The stolen oration dealt with
the Armenian question, and was taken bod
Dr. Lyman Abbott and published in the
Outlook.
The joke of the whole thing is that the
judges on thought and composition gave
Rauch mark below two other contestants,
and he won out on his fine delivery.
When confronted with the charge of
plagiarism by the faculty committee he
that he had cribbed the grafton, but sup
posed that he had the right to collect ma
tcrial wherever he found 1t. His cool ef-
frontery so dazed the committee that he
was merely removed from the honor of
representing the college, and his case was
continued until the return of President
Burroughs next term. There is little doubt
however The plagiarism was the boldest
ever attempted, and was so sure of discov-
cry as to be amazing on the part of SO
brilliant young man as Rauch.
