Senator Allison, of Iowa, and Gen.
Henderson, congressman from that

also wants to keep Tibbles in office for
the reason that since his appointment
he succeeded in having the headquar-
ters for the district removed from st.
Paul to Dubuque. 1t was stated at
the time that the removal was only
temporary, but it seems to be pretty
permanent removal. Tibbles is sup
posed to be a Democrat but the fact
that he is backed by a man like Sen
ator Allison will be a power in his
favor.
Representative Tawney Is working
hard TO get this position for John How

ney, however will hardly succeed now,
for Senator Nelson will be against him
anyway and Mr.. Davis will in all

appoint him.
The fact that the senate has refused
to include a hundred thousand dollar
appropriation TO rebuild Fort Mead,
South Dakota, in the army appropria-
tion bill, inspires some of the Mime

yet be done for Fort Smelling. Senator
Kyle was at the White house today to
urge the president to look into the Fort

Sun and Weather.

On the lst of July the earth receives
6 per cent less heat from the sun than
it does during corresponding period
in the month of January, But winter
does not occur then in the northern
hemisphere, because the sun runs high
IN the sky and its rays fall upon the
earth more nearly vertically than six
months later, and, too, the day is much
longer than the night. so that while
the sun sends us IA little less heat in to-
tai amount we get much larger pro-
portion Of what it does give us than we
do in January, when the total heat for
the whole earth is greater New York

Captain Kidd's fame was of another

countries can compare with it in this,
When Californians come east, however,
they are delighted with the scenery and
they explain that it is the greenness OF
