vote was cast at the Democratic pri-

the election of delegates to the state
convention at Sedala, which, in turn,

Congressman Cousins Wins Fame by
Single Speech at Washington.
A debate was on in the national house
of representatives recently when a tall,
broad shouldered member with a boyish
face caught the eye Of the speaker and
began to talk 1t was a busy day, and
excitement was running high, 50 the
nconspicuous member who had the
floor was given but little attention at
first He had spoken but few mo
ments, however, before group after
group on the floor stopped their chatter
and began to listen, until finally every
person in that crowded chamber was
following his words with as much at
tention as the Official stenogrRphers.
Why, who is that talking?" some
one asked Of a veteran correspondent in
the press gallery.
That s young Bob Cousins of Iowa, 3"
was the answer.
And it was, although few of the
spectators had ever heard Of him before.
He was making a speech that was to
bring him fame at a bound. Embassa-
dor Bayard had furnished him with a
topic. and as he pilloried the diplomat

with merci1ess facility and hurled at
him shafts of sarcasm tipped with
ridicule and winged with eloquence the
house listened with appreciation.
Congressman Robert G. Cousins is a
thorough product Of Iowa. He was born,
reared, educated and trained in the
Hawkeye State. His parents settled in
Cedar county when Iowa was a terri
tory. When a boy, he worked on his IA
Tiers farm and attended the public
schools. In course Of time he went to
Cornell college, which is located in the
same congressional district which he
now represents. He afterward studied
law and was admitted to the bar at the
age Of %. In 1886 he served with dis
tinction in the Iowa legislature and was
chosen as presidential elector in 1888.
When he was elected as a member of
congress in 1898, he had a lucrative
practice and had already gained some
local fame as an orator He did not
have a chance to distinguish himself In
the Fifty third congress, but was re-
elected to the present congress and has
made one or two good speeches besides
the one that has so recently brought
him fame.

derers From Escaping at St. Joseph.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo, April ia bold
attempt was made to effect jail de-
livery early last night by the prison
ers confined in the Buchanan county
jail. 1t was only frustrated by acei-
dent. About 2 o'clock young man
named Ed Timmerson, who was visit
ing the sheriff, was strolling a bout
the rear portion Of the jail, when he
noticed a fellow trying to crawl out
Of one of the windows. He ran up
and at the point of revolver
drove him back Then he stood
guard until help came. The prisoners
were locked al at once in their cells
and an examination disclosed that
some one had passed them in a saw
with which they had cut six of the
bars from one of the grated windows
and the first man had just started out
when TinmersOn made the discovery.
There are four nurderers, Punshon,
Pollard and the two Mays, confined
in the Jail and forty other prisoners.
Who furnished the saw is not yet
known.

WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The sub
committee of the committee on ways
and means which has been conducting
an investigation into the results of the
recent reciprocity policy of the gov
eminent, has agreed to report to the
full committee, as a substitute for the
large number Of measures that have
been proposed in Congress during this
session relating to reciprocity and re-
taliation, a bill which was offered by
Mr.. Hopkins, in the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday.
The bill comprises five sections, un-
der the caption: "a bill to increase
and equalize the trade of the United
States with foreign nations by the ne
gOtlatiOns Of reciprocal commercial
angements "
1t differs materially from the old
reciprocity provision of the Mckinley
act, in that it does not offer lower
rates than those now esta bIshed to
nations entering upon the agreements,
but simply relieves them from the i'm
position OF additional duties

HoUsroN, Tex, April lO-At Mill
can, Texas. a few minutes after ?
o'clock yesterday morning, John
Brooks shot and killed his daughter,
Mollie Brooks, seriously wounded her
sweetheart, A c. Worrels, and then
committed suicide.
Worrels and Miss Brooks were lovers
and had made up their minds to marry
in opposition to the wishes of the
young woman's father. When the
north bound Central train, due
here at 2.O2 a. m, stopped at the
station the young people were there
ready to get a board and run away
Worrels helped Miss Brooks upon
the first step of the platform, and just
as she got up her father, who stepped
from the other side of the car, fred
upon her, shooting her through the
right breast, the bullet passing
through her body. She fell backward
into the arms Of her lover, with the
words: "Oh, Arthur, father has killed
me, p and Immediately expired.
As WOrrels bent down to lay her on
the platform, Brooks fired upon him
under the car, the bali passing through
his neck and making q serious and
probably fatal wound.
After the shooting Brooks, who has
been employed at the rock quarry of
Green & Olive, went to the quarry and
tried to borrow a pistol, but could not
get one. He then went to the pow
der house, secured a box of dynamite
and going away about 100 yards sat
down upon it and applied a match.
A terrific explosion followed, which
tore him to pieces, not enough frag-
ments being gathered up to ill cigar
