an unknown species. He sent it to the
Smithsonian institute at Washington,
and received for 1t check for 81, $40,
with the request to make careful
search for other moths of the same
kind. 1t was an individual of a fossil
species supposed to be extinct, and
great was the excitement among the
scientists at the discovery that one of
the race had been recently alive. AL
though diligent search has been made
by men paid for the service, no other

Congressman Tawney of Minnesota
is very inconsiderate in regard to the
obligations of the present administers
ton to the railroads for its election
two years ago. His protests however
amounted to nothing. The 18th Min
nesota regiment was sent 200 miles
beyond the place of enlistment for its
final discharge and Tawney raised his
voice against paying the railroads for
that distance and then discharging
the men 200 miles from their homes,
thus compelling each of them to pay
for transportation home. If Tawney
would only think before hurting out
in meeting he would realize that Mr..
Mckinley in the transportation of
troops coulu pay the railroads for the
effective service they gave toward
his election. For this soldiers have
been sent from the Pacific to the At
lantic for Cuba, and from the Atlante
ic to the Pacific for PHILIPPINES. In
this way an election debt has been
paid to the railroads.

Bryan A True Soldier.

Colonel William j. Bryan has de-
clined to attend the jubilees at Mime
apolis and Chicago and will not even
spare day from his duties to attend
the carnival at Macon, Ga.
Duty to the soldiers under his CON-
mand is now the first consideration
with Colonel Bryan. He is working
for the comfort of those of his men
who have been stricken with fever.
His tent is pitched with them, out in
the open; his daily place is by the
sickbed and his nightly occupation
relieving some mans distress. Though
wearing the garb of military author
ity, he is still the plain American.
In reply to the Macon invitation,
Colonel Bryan said: "Tell the people
of Macon that everything I do is crit-
icised; that am criticised for speak:
ing and for remaining silent; that if
only the criticism of partisan enemies
was to be considered l would accept
the invitation of the people of
Macon, who have SO honored me in
the past. However, while 1 hold this
military office l expect to perform
the military duties attached, and am
not willing to leave, even for a day,
the men who are stricken with
fever"
These are the words of q true
soldier, of a man who sacrifices his
own interests for public duty, of
man far above the plane of SELF
seeking politician. If all the officers in
the service had been actuated by the
sentiments which move William j.
Bryan the scandals in the war de-
partment would never have existed.
The people of the United States will
remember Bryan with gratitude and
will honor him for bis loyalty, hui
manity and patriotism Chicago

SOtham's Annual Hereford Sale at
WeaVergrace Farm, April
T3, 1908.

Every one familiar with the American
bred Hereford or the annual State fair
beef show rings of the country west OF
Pennsylvania knows something Of Tom
Sotham and his Herefords. If he does
not 1t doubtless comes from his not keep
ing up with the onward White-face
march towards the ultimatum Of the best
beef cattle in this country or elsewhere
One has only to take up Sothams an
nual sale catalogues and compare their
artistic merits with all the beef breeds
and then visit the farm to be convinced
that there is something in individual
merit by inheritance" and that Sotham's
idea amounts to something whether we
are believers in evolution or not, that
like begets like. Environment, with care
and judicious mating, does prove some
thing. Especially is this true when one
looks over youngsters whose character
and block characteristics are such that
early maturity and finished bullocks at
an early age are sure to top the day at
any market where appreciative buyers
are always eager to secure the best.
There is little use in denying or even
trying to deny that Mr.. Sotham is justly
regarded the John the Baptist of the
modern Hereford as bred, quartered and
meated out all over to best suit the buyer
at our great central markets or for ex-
portation to foreign markets. This may
sound breezy to some of the less pro-
gressive and ambitious White-face de-
votees, but one wholly free from per-
sonal bias cannot help admiring the open
tactics adopted by Mr.. SOtham to further
the advancement Of beef cattle, no mat
ter under what circumstances or within
the confine of any CLINE.

Marion County RepIIeSrtO Attacks ON
Pldd1e.

AANAAhs
In reply to a lot OF charges that Chair
man Riddle has been the cause of Bit
ter fight in the Fourth district over the
Congressional nominee the Populist
committee Of Marion county has adopted
the following resolutions
Whereas, the Kansas City World Of
the 25th inst, purporting to be from a
special correspondent at Marion, con-
tanned an unwarranted attack on the
Popuist committee Of Marion county
Chairman Riddle, Of the State commit
tee, and Hon. H. S. Martin, Of this city,
to the effect that bitter fight has deyel-
oDed among the Populists Of this county
against Chairman Riddle, Of deep polit-
ical significance, which will be carried
against him in the State convention.
That he is working In the interest OF
Martins candidacy as against the Hon
orable John Madden for the Congress
sional nomination and otherwise de-
meaning himself as chairman, TO the in
jury of the party,
That Martin is a Cleveland Democrat,
charged with trying to bribe the county
committeeman, and that his stenogra
pher does Riddles political work, etc.
Therefore be it resolved, BY the Popu-
list committee Of Marion county, sitting
in joint session with the leading Popu-
lists of Marion county, that the charges
made by the Worlds special correspond
ent concerning the attitude Of the county
committee and against our State chair
man Riddle and the Honorable H, s.
Martin are unqualifedly false
That there is no fight being made on
Riddle, but, on the contrary, we heartily
commend his conduct as chairman of the
State committee and cheerfully CO.
operate with him in trying to unite in 8
solid front all the opposing forces to
the Republican party in the Fourth Con
gressional district.
The World has been imposed upon.
