Ex-senator Doolittle's Joke

The old senator was a great story
teller and related many interesting and
humorous accounts of what he had seen
in public life. One of his favorite stor-
les was at the expense of Senator Fes-
senden, warm personal friend. The
judge and Senator Fessenden had been
appointed on a commission with several
others to treat with the various chiefs of
the Sioux nation on an important Indian
question of the day. 1t was long before
railways had been introduced into the
mission had to travel on horseback.
Judge Doolttle was chairman of the
commission, but It the conference shift
ed the duty to the shoulders of Senator
Fessenden, who was highly pleased at
the honor conferred on him. The judge,
however. had heard of the peculiar re-
ception rendered by the Indians to the
spokesman of any party of visiting
whites.
At the appointed time the two parties
to the conference congregated. There
were probably 200 Indian chiefs present
with their wives Senator Fessenden
advanced to do the honors for the COM
missioners, when, to his dismay, the
whole body of Indians-squaws and, all
advanced and, after embracing the
chairman, gave him, according to their
custom, welcoming kiss. Judge Doo-
little often said he thought that Fessen-
den never quite forgave him for the
trick.-Syracuse Standard,

KAISER WILHELM's BLACK EYE
The French Story of How Germany's
Ruler Came by It

Prof r. A. Minckwitz of the Central
high school arrived home this morning
from two months pleasure trip in Eng
land, Holland and Germany.
Prof. Minckwtz says the Germans do
not like the present emperor.
"He does and says too many things at
once. Not long ago he had black eye,
He explained 1t by saying sailyard had
fallen and struck him. Two days later
lieutenant was found in the ocean. The
German papers said he rode his bicycle
over the cliff and was drowned. A short
time after this French paper published
the story in an entirely different way,
saying the emperor had insulted the
lieutenant, who in turn had hit him in
the eye and then committed suicide. No
attempt has been made to explain this"
Prof. Minckwitz left Bremen on Aug.
10, thus making a quick trip. He was
pleased when told that the vertical sys-
tenn of handwriting would be taught in
the Kansas City schools.
TT is the correct SYSTEM" he said.-

NO MORE RUsHEs
Three Serious Mishaps Call Forth a
Prohibition

BERKELEY, Aug. 31.-There will be
no more "rushes" at the University of
California if President Kellogg's latest
mandate is obeyed. Half dazed, his jaw
broken, his face bleeding mass, Benja-
min Kurtz newly entered freshman,
was found wandering about the campus
On Monday night after the rush between
the two lower classes.
1nthe struggle some one put his heel on
Kurtz' face and as a result he is disfig-
ured for life and may have sustained an
injury of the brain. An examination
showed that piece of the flesh had been
torn from one nostril. The upper lip
hung only by shred and the ragged ma
ture of the tear made the injury the more
serious. All the front teeth were gone.
-Four teeth had been knocked out of the
lower jaw and the bone in which they
shGd been imbedded was broken out with
them. Both the upper and lower Jaw
were smashed and the flesh of all the
face crushed and bleeding.
There were two other serious casual
ties. Frank Marshall freshman. had
his right leg broken just above the an
kle. Conlon another freshman. also came
out OF the combat with broken leg.

Champion Bag That Wards OFF Chills

AN almost certain preventive Of chills,
as far as children are concerned" vol
unteered professional nurse, sis to have
the children wear a small camphor bag
under their clothing next to the body.
A penny's worth of camphor is all that
is needed. My plan is to put piece Of
camphor as large as a chestnut in a
small bag. This Will last week or so.
The smell of the camphor is not an un-
pleasant one. 1 do not know ether it
is the smell of the camphor or the stimu-
lating effect that keeps the chills off, but
my experience has been that children,
and especially those who live in the coun-
try escape chills, which are so preva-
lent in the autumn season, when this pre-
caution is taken. Camphor will ward
off other troubles to which children are
often very susceptible. The preventive
is an easy one to try, and l am sure that
those who try it with the children will
thank me for my suggestion. Wash

In connection with the illness of ou.

AS most Of us know, Mr.. and Mrs

OF her intimate frieds to assist in the
search of desirable infant, one hon

A friend in New York subsequently tele-
sraphed her to come at once and take
her choice of two beautiful ba bies. There

President Clayton Delivers an Ad-

Needed by Farmers
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
ST. PAUL, August 31.-The seven.
teenth meeting of the Farmers National
Congress of the United States was called
to order at the capital by President B
F. Clayton of Indianola, Iowa, this
morning. The opening session was not
largely attended compared with what is
expected tomorrow. Following an invo-
cation by Archbishop Ireland the con-
gress was greeted on behalf of the city
by Mayor Doran, on behalf of the State
Agricultural Society by President Weav-
er. on behalf of the State by Governor
Clough, and after responses by j. NJ
Stahl Of Illinois and Hon. B. F. Clayton,
the session closed with the annual ad-
dress of President Clayton.
In the course of his earnest remarks,
in which he reviewed the history and
work of the organization, he said he was
not an alarmist. but hoped the hour
would never come when Congress would
purposely give its consent to the build
ing up of trusts, and concluded by say
ing:
"There as many questions upon which
we should take action. Notably among
these is the enlargement of the agrcul-
tural department, giving it the power
and the means by which it can open UP
every possible avenue of trade for Amer
lean farm products, and to extend to it
the same protection accorded to other
interests.
I, =
Elerce law and antitrust measures, Civ
ing the proper officer the right and to
make it his duty to send for persons and
papers and compel the attendance IF
with essses or to place them behind the
prison bars, regardless Of the million
they may possess. Tie extension Of free
mail delivery to the rural districts; the
enlargement of the Weather Bureau; a
more systematic crop statistics, the
reclamation Of the arid and semi-arid
lands, and to restrict Boards of Trades
to a point where they will prevent fraud
in dealing in options and to entirely stop
the bucket shop disgrace.
I'VE should ask the Congress of the
United States to make sufficient appro-
priation to prevent the importation OF
infected livestock and to stamp out ex-
isting diseases. You gentlemen, hailing
from all parts of the country, know much
better than 1 can tell you tile Importance
of urging prompt action regarding every
obstacle preventing the success of the
farmer. The Congress Of the United
States. when placed in possession OF
factsfi has been quick to eradicate ex-
listing evils. We should demand no leg
is,ation; We should seek to do no damage
to other legitimate enterprises; but we
should insist upon the recognition CT our
interests, and We should be satisfied with
nothing less

Taxes on Banks

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-Judg:
Sewell in the superior court today rem
dered an opinion in the suit Of the First
National bank of San Francisco to re-
cover sS290 paid under protest for taxes
on personal property. The bank officials
claimed that under the national bank
ing act the state had no authority to
levy taxes on the personal property of
national banks. Judge Sewell held ad-
versely to that claim. He construed the
law exempting national banks from pay
ing taxes on personal property to apply
only to the stock of the banks.
