the word worth, meaning value For

< YLES ACTION,

When Kyle was elected to th,
United States senate by rcpubli
can vot. in the state legislator,
two years ago it was openly charg
cd that he had sold Out to the re.
publicans-that in order to sccur,
enough republican votes to elect
him he had pledged himself tc
support republican measures in
the United States senate. AL
though criticised at the time for
making such an assertion, The
UNION plainly charged Kyle with
tying up with the republicans and
bctrayIng every supporter he had
n Soulh Dakota.
Numerous evidences Of his dirty
deal have cropped out as the days
went by, but the most glaring
'hlnS that has occurred to prove
that Kyle betrayed the people who
bad supported him is his support
OF the administrations bond propo-

A Story Of Patti.

Patti once went OF an excursion with
a party Of Americans, among whom was
a young chap who could play on a ban
70 and sing coon" and rag time"
songs like a professional. He did not
intend that the great singer should
judge of the quality Of his art, but by
accident she had a chance, and to the
Young mans JOY she fell hilariously in
love with every rag time melody he
sang. This was a secret between the
two until n evening Patti consented
to sing for the company. Several listen
ers went mildly insane when the great
artist after a little preparatory pat
ting" sang Mamie, Come Kiss Your
Honey Boy"

MARK HANNA'S CASE.

What is the Unitcs States sen
ate going to do with the bribery
charges made against Mark Han
ma?
These charges, backed up bv
the report of an investigation COM
mlttce appointed by the Ohio
state senate, have been laid before
the upper house, and now the peo-
OF this country demand that prompt
action be taken thereon.
Fortunately for Hanna there is a
war, though he asserted there
would be none, and that war has
drawn attention from his disgrace
tut acts to matters Of apparently
larger moment. Apparently
larger, but not SO in reality.
There can be nothing of more i'm.
2ortancc to the people of this
country than the honesty and pa
trlotlsm Of its lawmakers. Foes
without can be met and conuucr-
ed, but foes within are a constant
and deadly menancc to liberty.
1t should not be forgotten that
;he report Of the investigating COM
mlttcc declared Mark Hanna. per
sonallv or through his agents,
guilty Of bribery. He is alleged to
have bought his scat in the United
States senate as he would buy a
seat in the Board of Trade.
Is the senate going to pigenholc
this Indictment against one of it's
members or is it going to ~investi-
gate the charges, and if it finds
them sustained by the facts expcl
his man, who has corrupted men
n order that he might be in a
ooslt o to corrupt the lawso
What is the senate going to do
anyhow?

Heating Capacity Of wood.

reefs q very common supr0sitiOn III re-
gard to the heating capacity of wood,
the most notable fact in the case being
that such q practical and easily demon

Of soft wood. The fact, as ascertained
by repeated determinations, is that the
greatest heating power is possessed by
one Of the s0ftcst varieties Of such ma

BESIDES these, there are only two other
