HOUSE IS STARTLED
By a Bitter Attack on the Ad-
ministratiOn by Mr.. john
son, of Indiana.

Washington, Feb 24.-Mr. Johnson
Rep., Ind), who made vigorous opposi-
ton to the army reorga IMITATION Dill
while it was before the house, secured
thirty minutes today, in which he de-
lVered most remarkable and Sensa-
tiona1 speech, arraigning the admin
istration in bitter terms for its alleged
imperia1tStic programme. 1t was care
fully prepared and read from manu-
script, quite contrary to Mr.. Johnson's
usual custom He referred in opening
to the recent banquet at Boston attend
ed by the president and members of
his cabinet. He paid his respects to
Secretary Alger, who, he said, had been
retained in the cabinet despite his in
competency on account of his contribu-
lions to the campaign fund in 1896. Sec
rotary Long also came in for his share
of irony. He had the audacity, Mr..
johnson said, to repeat the baseless
charge that those opposed to ratifica-
ton of the treaty were responsible for
the bloodshed in the Philippines. AS
Mr.. Johnson proceeded, his remarEa BILE
utterances fairly amazed members of
the house, who gathered in the aisIes
to listen Outstanding with the sword
and civilizing with cannon. he declared
was the administrations policy.
The presidents speech at the Boston
banquet, Mr.. Johnson declared was the
most disingenious that ever fell from
the lips of a chief executive. Apart
from it's platitudes and professions of
virtue, it was he said, "a carefully de-
vised and studious misstatement of
facts"
The sensation Mr.. Johnson was Great
ing increased as he likened the presi-
dent to Pecksniff. If the president real
ly felt that congress should determine
upon the future of the Philippines, he
asked, why the president did not call
congress in extra session and then keep
his hands off. He charged that the
president coerced the senate into ratify-
ing the treaty; that he would not per-
NIT a poll on the Bacon resolution and
only allowed the McEnery resolution
which meant nothing to pass, in order
to lull the opposition of the country TO
sleep while he went ahead waging re-
lentless war against a helpless people,
struggling for liberty.

THOMAS COUNTY BONDS.
A Voter Does Not Think Mr.. Low
Entitled to Credit in This
Connection.

Colby. Kan, Feb. "a.
To the Editor of the State Journal
In recent issue of your paper read
quite a lengthy article praising Mr.. NJ.
A. Low for succeeding il getting the
people of Thomas county to vote $50, 900
bonds in aid to the Chicago, Kansas &
Nebraska Railway company and that
the people of Thomas county We're in
debted to Mr.. Low for his part in the
matter.
Now I feel it is not proper for such
an article to go unnoticed. I want to
tell the facts in that bond issue.
In 1888 the Chicago, Kansas & Ne
brakas Railway company (of which NJ.
A Low was president) proposed to
Thomas county that if the county would
issue them bonds to the amount of $780,
600 to aid in building their railroad
through the county, they would in re-
turn issue to the county $50, 900 in paid
up stock of said railway company.
The proposition was discussed and
finally a special election held for the
purpose of voting on the proposition.
And the people who voted for the issue
of said bonds all did so with the full
understanding that it was not a dona-
ton but simply a loan for which we
were to receive stock in the railway
company on which we could realize
something back for our sec, 900 bonds.
With this encoura cement the bonds
carried by majority of 397.
The bonds were issued and Thomas

REPEATED APPLAUSE

John Philip Sousa and his famous band
gave a concert at the Grand Opera House
last night.
This simple statement conveys exactly
the musical treat rendered the hundreds
of people who filled the three floors of the
big theater. To say further that it was
a typical Sousa concert is the greatest
praise that can be bestowed upon it.
Everyone knows what a director IS John
Philip Sousa and what a band he directs.
Everyone knows that John Philip Sousa
writes, and his famous band PLAYS, the
most popular music in the world today.
This identical music was in evidence
last night. The immense audience knew
it was coming the moment the director
appeared, as the big curtain assembled, and
quickly took his position on the small
platform In front of his musicians. His
appearance was the signal for the first
applause, and as it swept around the

Other counties around us were caught
in the same trap and these counties
then held a meeting and sent their at
