PASSING OF THE WATCHDOG.

"The place of a watchdog on the farm

observations about mad dogs, reports

nothing can come around the premises
night or day without causing an alarm

enceswith guipeas has not been SO ex-
tensive, but believe they ere also

many alarms, if any strange man or
beast should venture near them by
night or day. Perhaps the days of the
watchdog would be numbered if it were
generally known how well peacccks
and guinea fowls would take his place.
Then. certainly, with fewer dogs there
would not be so many cases of hydro
phobia."
The statement of Mr.. Mcclure as to
the watchfulness Of peacoclSs was borne
out by numerous Howard county farm
ers, among the number being County
Commissioners Hess, Dorsey aud Smith.
and Mr.. James L. Hobbs, who superin-
tends the farming operations of Sem

LITTLE DONE IN THE HOUSE
Forecast OF Chairmanships OF Imp ortant
Committees.

Guthrie, o. T., Jan. 14.--(Special.)-
There was practically no business done
in the lower house Of the legislature this
morning, and shortly after it convened
an adjournment was taken until tomorrow
morning for the purpose OF giving the
owner of the building an opportunity TO
put a window on the side wall for the
purpose of giving more light to the men,
bers and the correspondents. The only
thing done was the appointment of
committee on contests and the passage
OF concurrent resolution urging upon
the senate of the United States the urg-
ency and the necessity OF passing the
free homes bill.
The committees of the house are not
We. appointed and will not be for day
or two. The probability is that w r.

DEVOID OF ANIMAL LIFE.

A CeaseIess Struggle Between Fire and
Water in Antarctica-
The antarctic IS a continental LAND
unique in the world. Its desolate
shores. rarely approSchable under most
favorable conditions, are laved by an
ocean, the richest on the globe in its
marine life, animal and vegetable, says
the Ladies Home journal. Seals and
whales in incredible numbers abound in
its waters, and countless sea birds
cover with nests and egg. the few ia
vored land spots which are free from
snow during the brief, coElfortless sum
rrer. 1t is a continent where abounds
no land animal life, either mammals,
birds, insects, spiders or reptiles. No
mammal exists within 600 miles of its
borders. 1t is also devoid of land vege,
tation Except the lowest forms OF cell
lular tissue, Gchens, which have been
found in two places only, having nesth-
er ferns, Towering plants, shrubs noT
trees.
Here, however, nature displays her
forces on a scale elsewhere unknown.
Over the millions Of square miles Of this
austral continent ceasclessly continues
a titanic struggle between the opposing
ancient elements of fire and water. In
vain the volcanoes pour forth streams
of molten lava and shoot upward pill

does not believe 1t, and when the truth
is found out it will be ascertained that
Lynch won the fight, was promised any

friends, and that on this compromise he

Senator Lynch is one of the brightest

he has the nerve to make a fight and
would spend his ample fortune before he

mark it, that his wishes Will be respected

There are two jewellers in Chinatown.

establishment is a tiny room up one

one place Is divided By an openwork
iron partition, with an arch and a coun-
ter near the window. where the jewele-
stands at work. He is an elderly China
man, wearing glasses. and he works

SENATE COMMITTEES NAMED
Showing How the Lynchers Got the Best
of Everything.

Guthrie. o. T., Jan. 14.-(Special 1.-The
senate did business two hours today. In
the morning hours it passed the concur
rent resolution OF III house memorable
ing the United States senate to pass the
free homes bill now pending there. In
the afternoon il reconsidered the matter
because OF its horrible grammar and
construction and referred il to the COM
mittee on federal relations.
At this point President Johnson Of the
council named the committees OF the
council as follows:
Judiciary-DuBois, Marum, Fisher,
Johnston, Randolph.
Ways and Means-Gould, Marum, Du-
Eois. Learned, Lynch.
Education-Garrison, Fisher, Johnston,
Randolph, Learnerd-
Municipal neutrality-suspicious., Lynch
Johnston, Dubois, Clark.
Agriculture and Highways-Hanna,
Clark, Learnerd, Brown, Gould.
Enrolled and Engrossed Bills-John-
ston. Dubois, Learnerd, Hamer. Brown.
Railroads-Brown, Johnston, Garrison,
Fisher and Hanna.
Elections-Fisher, Johnston, Lynch,
Garrison, Clark.
Public nstitutions-Clark, Hanna,
Lynch, Johnston. Randolph.
Federal Relations-Randolph Gould,
Learnerd. Fisher. Martin.
Private Corporations and Corporate
Laws-Johnston, Garrison. Marum. Ran
doiph. Clark.
Public Lands-Fisner, Garrison, Mar
nm. Lynch, Brown.
Military Affairs-Gould, Marum, Ran
dolph, Hanna, Brown.
Quarantine and Animal Industry
Lynch. Marum, Clark. Hanna, Learnerd.
Standing Rules-President, Garrison,
Dubois, Brown, Marum.
On molten the appointments were con-
fIrmed unanimously.
President Johnson in a speech thanked
the senators for the unanimous confirma-
tons and alluded 10 the great difficulty
OF suting the ambition of every man in
the appointments. He believed, however,
that he had done the very best thing
that could be done.
He said the work of the past twenty
four hours had worn him out and he ask
ed for an adjournment until 10 O'Clock IN
the morning. 1t will be noticed that the
men in the Lynch combine secured the
very best chairmanships, although Mr..
Lynch himself secured only the chair
manship of the committee on Quarantine
and animal industry. The fact of the
matter is, as your correspondent is in
formed, Mr.. Johnson offered Mr.. Lynch
any committees he wanted, and he took
only this one, preferring 10 give his lieu
tenants the best Of everything before &C
cepting anything himself.
