Shocked His Hostess.

There is a foreign gentleman in town
who is receiving slices of cold shoulder
in quarter where he once dined on
the fat of the land. 1t is all because of
the simple, naive, frankness of his man
ner. He was invited to a card party a
moon or two ago, and he went. He ar
rived early and he was Enthusiastically
distraught The hostess affected not to
observe it, but the foreign gentleman
said and-welI, he asked that a basin
of water be set for him in another
apartment, and for half an hour he re-
mained in retirement. At the end of
that time he reappeared, thanked his
hostess for her kindness, and said his
feet felt much better. The hostess says
she realizes that it was the sensible
thing for him to do, but much as she
admires common sense. the next time
she gives party the name of one for
eign gentleman will not be in her list
of guests.-Wa ashington Post.

How is Egypta?" said Col. Peck.
"Egypta is the finest yearling in the

Col. Peck had not had his luncheon

The law has been carefully studied by
the best legal talent in the United States,
and meets the approval of the most prom

is proposed to have it adopted by all the
states, and it is drawn as to cover
so plain that it will obviate much ltiga-
ton.
Nearly all of the states have a commits
sion uniform laws, auxiliary to the pa

The most prominently under considera-

commercial law, laws in relation to di-
Vorce, deeds and conveyanceS, wills,
weights and measures, insurance and the
transfer of corporate stock.

SentrieS.

Manila, Jan. q, via Hong Kong, Jan. 26.
On Saturday evening, January p, five
Filipinos determined to have revenge for
the death of a captain who had been shot

revolver. After an exchange of shots the
others were arrested. The incident has
intensified the excitement here.
The Mabini cabinet yesterday insisted
upon the liberia ton of the Spanish civil
prisoners in commemoration of the proc
1amation of the Filipino republic, and also
donated money to the native clergy. A
decree to that effect was signed. The
Spanish clergy, however, remain prison

An elaborate programme has been ar
ranged for the formal ratification of the
constitution today.
Nothing was accomplished at the con-

which to accede to their demands for rec

NO MANDAMUS.
An Act Affecting a New Court Said
to Be Worthless.

Phil Campbell and Representative
Wheatley will bring no mandamus pro-
ceedings against Governor Stanley be-
cause the law under which they pro-
posed to act was this afternoon found to
be worthless and at this time there is no
court created by the special session in
existence in Crawford and Cherokee
counties.
The original bill created a new court
in Cherokee county. On motion of Sem
ator Ryan, the original bill, as passed
by the house, was stricken out and a
substitute adopted creating the court
for Cherokee and Crawford counties.
This passed the senate and was sent
back to the house for concurrence. The
house concurred in the amendment and
sent the bill back to the senate with
the title as it appeared upon the original
bill. The title refers to the court in
Cherokee county. The bill as a conse-
quence is worthless.
Campbell and Wheatley wanted the
governor to proceed at once to appoint
the judges and clerks of the court,
claiming that a provision in the
bill provides that the courts
should not come into exist
fled by the people. Campbell wants to
be a judge and he thought the part re-
ferred to is invalid because the law
making power is vested in the legisla-
ture and can not be delegated to the
people.
When Campbell found out today that
the bill was worthless he made an
agreement with Senator Householder to
abandon mandamus proceedings. Then
Householder made Campbell promise
that no further effort would be made
to have the governor act until the law
is ratified by the people. With this un-
derStanding Mr.. Householder will have
the bill corrected so that it will become

COLUMBUS DUST
In America-Iowan Makes Startling
Claim Regarding the Dis

Sioux City, Iowa, Jan. 26.-J. S.
Browning Of this place claims to have
positive evidence that Columbus re-
mains are in this country.
Mr.. Browning was a member of the
bureau of awards at the Worlds Fair,
and says he learned the particulars dur
ing the exposition of the deal by which
the explorers dust passed into the
hands of one of the best known collec-
tors in America
He declines to give the 1atter's name,
but says a Spaniard offered him the
remains for $1,000 while with the fair:
that the proposition was accepted, and
that the collector now has the dust
either in New York or Washington.
He did not buy the relics however,
which were inclosed in Christopher's
casket when he was buried. Mr. Brown
ing thinks the purchaser will soon make
dust.
He says there is no doubt concerning
the genuineness of the remains.

Mrs. Krebs On the Stand.

Junction City, Jan. 26.-Drs. Meyer
and Yates testified in the Krebs case
yesterday. Their testimony tends to
show that there was no blood on Mrs
Krebs' shoes. Mrs. Krebs then took the
stand. Her story did not vary a par
ticle from that given at the inquest and
preliminary. She said she went to the
farm on business; had no quarrel with
the woman in her husbands presence.
She spoke calmly and naturally. A long
cross-examination failed to shake her
in a single instance. More evidence
was deduced, comparatively unimport-
ant, and the state rested. There will be
a little rebuttal, but the case will be
given to the jury tonight.

FALLS DEAD.
Ex-Attorney General Garland
Drops to the Floor
While Addressing the u. 8.
Supreme Court.
A FEW SHORT GASPS
And Life Was Extinct In a Few
Minutes.
Stroke of ApOplexy Brought on
His Tragic Death.

Washington, Jan. 26-Former Attor-
ney General Augustus H Garland was
stricken with apopIexy while addressing
the United States supreme court at
1915 o'clock this afternoon and died
within ten minutes. The occurrence
came with startling and tragic unex-
pectedness, changing the usual calm
and dignity of the court into temporary
confusion, while the dying man was
carried away from the chamber in a
futile attempt to alleviate his condition.
When the court convened at noon Mr..
Garland resumed an argument in the
case of Towson VS.. Moore, which he had
begun yesterday. There was a full
bench with the exception of Justices
Brewer and White. Mr.. Garland spoke
calmly and with no evidences of agita-
ton or effort. He had read from a law
volume and had followed with the SEN
tence: This, your honors, is our con-
tention.''
AS the last word was uttered Mr.
Garland was seen to raise his hand and
then gasp. He tottered and fell side
ways, striking against a chair and over
turning it as he fell heavily to the floor
His associate in the case, Mr.. Franklin
Mackey, wars at once at his side and
with other counsel and officials the head
of the dying man was raised, his shoes
removed and a drauSht of water given
him.
A deathly pallor had overspread his
face and this soon gave place to a deep
purple, which foretOld the gravity of
the attack. He was carried from the
chamber across to the room of Chief
Clerk McKenney and there placed on a
sofa Senator Gallinger, who is ply
sician, was near at hand. A single
glance told him that the attack would
be fatal. Within ten minutes from the
time of the stroke Mr.. Garland breathed
his last.
COURT IS POSTPONED.
The court in the meantime had post
poned the case in which. Mr.. Garland
was engaged, and until the seriousness
of the attack was known had proceeded
with other business. Word of the trag-
edy was soon noiSed through the capi-
tol and senators and representatives
hurried to the court room. The two Ar
kansas senators, Mr.. Berry and Mr..
Jones, were among the first to view the
body and following them was a. long
line of persons high in legislative and
legal circles who had been associated
with Mr.. Garland at various times in
his long and notable public service.

The legislature visited the reform
school in a body today.
Both houses adjourned at IL o'clock
this morning, as had been previously
agreed upon, and proceeded to the Rock
Island depot, where a switch engine
hauled three coach loads of them out to
the school, four miles northwest of the
city The street car company carried
the entire party from the state house to
the. Rock Island depot free.
There were nearly two hundred peo-
pie in the party. A number of the mem
bers of each house did not go. but the
places made vacant by them were more
than filled by employees of the house
and by wives of the members.
On their arrival at the school a half
dozen pages took the lead and marched
the legislature to the main building,
where they were received by Assistant
superintendent Butler, who has been in
full charge of the school since the res
ignation of Superintendent Hart about
two weeks ago.
The first place visited was the dining
room. 1t was just II o'clock, and the
