republican doctrine, if you want to

Does it not appear" interpOsed Mr.
Hartman, Gin view of the fact that the
views and position Of everybody who
has appropriations to entertain similar
views on the financial question have
been falsely represented by the gold
press; that the press, while opposed to
free coinage Of silver, is unalterably
in favor of free coinage of falsehoods? ?"

Mr. Tate Of Georgia precipitated the
old fight against internal revenue In
formers by moving to strike out the
appropriation of $4,000 for the pay of
nformers.
Mr.. Evans of Kentucky opposed the
motion, asserting that the withdrawal
of these rewards to infOrmers would
paralyze the internal revenue office.
Mr.. Sayers of Texas also opposed the
amendment, and read from the reports
to show the evils of illicit distilling in
Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and
other southern states.

SPECIAL AGENT BEANIE goes
Summarily Dismissed From Uncle
Sans Employ.

Boise Idaho, March 80. News of the
dismissal of Frank w. Beane, special
agent of the treasury, caused no sur
prise among those who have been on
the inside.
He has been charged with several acts
not in accordance with department regu-
lations.
One case is as follows: A year ago
sensation was raised here by the dis
covery that a great many bogus Chi
nese certificates had been issued. Beane
and another treasury agent Investigate
ed the matter While they We're at work
a Chinese lawyer undertook to bride
them. They arranged a trap for him.
An appointment was made by one Of
the Chinese called. The visitor offered
500 to have the investigation dropped
The money was taken. The agents then
deposited the money in the safe at the
Overland hotel, pending such time as
they should need it. Some months later
the Chinaman was arrested, when it
was thought he would be useful wit
ness. He was arraigned for attempting
to bride the officials Agent Johnston
went to the hotel to get the money to
introduce as evidence and was surpris-
ed to find that Beane had long before
taken it out and disposed of It,

Also a Sentence of Hanging for
Murderer Ellington.

Boise Idaho, March 30.--Judge Rich
ards today sentenced James A. Filing
ton to hang May 27 for the murder of
Charles "A. Briggs. The tragedy oc-
Cured in December, 1894.
Ellington was convicted at the next
term Of court and sentenced to hang
May 81 last. An appeal to the supreme
court acted as stay Of execution. The
supreme court decided against him and
he will now have to swing unless the
pardon board interferes, which does not
seem likely.
Henry Capps, convicted of man
slaughter for the killing of w. A. On
weller, was sentenced to three years.
Seth Morgan convicted Of raping his
own daughter, got 10 years in the pen
itentiary. There was some doubt about
the case or he would have received a
much larger sentence, as was shown
by the judges remarks.

round nu n bers there is distributed
each year from Il e State treasury, in
Guiding the June and January d,stri-
buttons about 500, 900. This is exclu-
sive of the poll tax retained in the
counties. mill tax brings about
Sl72 900. so it will be seen that mills
of therevenues are required to meet
the school expenditure. or last years
levy this left only l mill in he traas-
ury, as the total levy was only mills.
The balance OF the expense of running
the State government came from this
one mill and the amount derived from
privileges and other sundry resources,
For the next two years the levy is six
mills. If poll tax collections remain
substantially where they have been for
the past few years this will leave two
mills in the treasury to pay other items
than the school fund. With this con
dition of things it is not astonishing
that the treasurers stock of cash has
run out several times within the past
few years. and Notwithstanding the
issue of $400 600 of State bonds made
on July ] it will be in that condition by
August /. One hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to be derived from
the bond sale have already been ex
pended, which will leave only $3.50. 900.

Author Of Nearer My God,
to Thee"

For fifty years this glorious hymn
has been enhancing the Christian
world, and is, perhaps. the most popu-
lar hymn ever written. Yet of it's
writer and its writing very little has
been krown by the thousands who
have been thrilled by its wo. dtrful
power; whether swelling from the
throat of Parepa Resay or 1isped by the
piping voice of child, The most that
could be learned was that it was writ
ten by Sarah Flower Adams, who was
born in Cam bridge, Eng, in February,
1905, and who died ip l84S; that .sshe
" as noted for the taste she manifested
in literature and for great zeal and
earnestDess in her religious life" As
TO the hymn that has made her memory
precious, the biographers were silent.
except to say in passing that ''the cir
under which she wrote it,
or at what time, are not known" It'll
will be a surprising revelation to the
world that this hymn, breathing ,in
every line an excess of deep religious
feeling, was written by one who had
entirely lost faith in the inspiration of
the Christian Scriptures: that it was
the result of the pain caused by the
passing of the old faith that had nou--
ished and given life to the resplendent
dOwer of the writer's soul.-Chicago |

And yet, while at work, I've beer

About how the nation is run,
For Hub must be off in the morning
Almost as soon as its day;
Not stopping at all to do chores.
Nor yet moment to pray;
For the wonderful question of finance

SO do his work night and morning
In spite of the sun or the rain
While Hub talks against the gold
standard
And for silver, sixteen to one;
And tells all the Door ignorant voters
just how the Governments run
And how the poor farmer is swindled,
About monopoly, gold bug and strife;
That with a few more years of such
ruling
A poor man won't own bis own life.
He'll be worse than the slave in his
bondage
For he lacketh his kind masters

So Hub talks from morn until euenipg
Pointing out the delusions and

So Hub talks from morn until evening.
From evening till late in the night.

And to show them their pitiful
