Washington, May S0.-The program
OF the leaders of the house contemplate
ed launching a debate upon the anti
trust resolution and bill, but there was
strong undercurrent in favor of ad-
journment on account OF decoration
day. Immediately after reading the
journal, Mr.. Dalzell presented a
special order from the committee on
rules for consideration of the resolu-
ton for an antitrust constitutional
amendment, but action was deferred.
A vote was taken on the question to
strike out the enacting clause of the
Chinese commission bill. The mo-
ton was lost los to 1870, and the bill
went back to the calendar. The con-
sideration of private pension bills
was resumed. After the first one had
been read Mr.. ralbert Is. c., who is
opposing the bills. and Mr.. Grosyenor
(0hio) became engaged in a contro-
veIsy. Mr.. Talbert withdrew his oh
lection. One hundred and ninety pen-

ELLA WHEELER'S MONOLOGUE.
Written for Jennie O'Neill Potter
While on Her Deathbed.

Mrs. Anna Randall Diehl of New
York will soon publish a volume en-
titled, Jennie ONeill Potter: The
True Story Of Her Life. During her
last illness Miss Potter, who was
a Wisconsin girl, dictated the
story and details of her life to Mrs.
Diehl with the request that the ro-
nance be put in book form. The pro-
ceeds of the sale of the book will be
used in erecting monument over Miss
Potter's grave. Speaking of the book,
Mrs. Diehl said The book is filled
with episodes, any one of which could
make an interesting story in ITSELF
Miss Potter was genius. She was
not conventional. What she did was
spontaneous, without much thought as
to results. Without any attempt to do
so, she made her own romance as she
went along. l knew her for ten years
and she interested me to the last"
An interesting feature of the book
will be the monologue written by Ella
Wheeler Wilcox for Miss Potter Just
before her death. The friendship be-
tween Mrs. Wilcox and Miss Potter
began several years ago when the
latter recited the stirring poem, How
Salvador Won, in New York Mrs.
Wilcox was in the stage box, and at the
conclusion of the, recitation the audi
forum Numbered with applause until
the author and interpreter appeared
upon the stage, hand in hand.
Mrs Wilcox visited Miss Potter as
she laid in her cot in st. Luke's
hospital. and the dying artistic express
ed wish to appear once more in pub
lie. This desire was not discouraged
by the medical men, and they told
tnelr patient that it was not i'm
probable that at the first temporary
improvement she could face the foot
llghts again. 1t was Miss Potter's plan
TO recount the story of her life and its
ambitions in dramatic style before an
audience at the Waldorf-Astoria. Mrs.
wilcox fell in with the suggestion and
wrote the monologue. The artistA
never recovered strength to recite IL
and died April II.
Inc monologue is in prose and verse.
ootn written by Mrs. Wilcox, and is
fuil OF feeling and sentiment. Here
are a few quotations.:
The longer people live the more thew
nate to die. They have become so
aisiilusioned with other things thew
fear it will be the same with the next
world. tbs the young, with all their
Illusions intact, who float out on the
hood of happy anticipations of beati-
tudes when they reach the climax.

RELEASED ON BOND.
Geo. TOmpkins, a WatOnwan Prisoner,
Develops SYMPTOMS of Insanity.

Geo. Tompkins, an inmate of the
county Jail since the middle of summer,
charged with stealing team of
horses at st. James and taking it
to Iowa, was released on $500
bond, signed by two friends in Martin
county. Court Commissioner Roberts,
of st. James, came to the city to APP
prove the bond, in the absence of
Judge Cray. Tompkins' home is in
Martin county, and his friends claim
that his mind has not been right since
he had an attack of the measles
Since being placed in the Jail by the
st. James officials to await the con-
vening of the district court, the has been
sick, and has been attended by DR..
Warner. He has been out of his head
and showed symptoms of insanity,
and his physician said that he could
live but few days longer if kept in
the Jail. In consequence of this, his
friends went on his bond.

The Republican national committee
has sifted the thousands of speeches
delivered in congress during the last
session, and has selected 100 which it
considered the most able presentations
of the subjects handled. The commit
tee has printed these together in one
volume and has supplied copy to a
large number of the leading speakers
and newspapers throughout the United
States for use in preparing their ar
guments. Of the 100 speeches thus Sc
lected, four were delivered by Mime
sofa members, and of these, two were
delivered by Congressman McCleary.
In 1898 Congressman McCleary was
easily the foremost champion of sound
money in the United States. Eleven
million copies of his famous speech on
the gold standard were distributed by
the Republican campaign managers
and it furnished the basis and brief of
nine-tenths of all the campaign
speeches and literature of that cam
paign and those since In 1898 Con-
gresham McCleary was at the head of
the literary bureau of the national
congressional committee and was a
powerful factor in that campaign,
which saved the house of representa-
tives to the Republicans. 1t is therefore
no surprise to our congressman s
friends that his speeches this year are
so highly esteemed by the managers
of the presidential campaign.

A SENSIBLE WOMAN.
She Knew When Her Husband Had a
Good Offer and Made Him Accept.

A party of married men were talk
ing about their wives, and it is worthy
of note that every man was glad he
had wife and was anxious to tell of
her good points.
81 never heard my wife swear but
once, said one of them when there
seemed to be lull in the praise meet
ing.
All the others looked shocked. If any
of them had ever heard their wives
swear they were not telling it, and
they resented the frankness of the one
man who was apparently betraying
family secrets But the man did not
regard the bad impression he had
created.
"And that, he continued in the
same tone, twas way back yonder,

Gov. Lind is a pretty shrewd politi
clan, and he is probably as well
aware as any one that with a full vote
he stands no possible show of being
elected, and there is no question but
that in looking around for a soft place
to drop when he has to let go, he
thinks the senate would be about as
easy as any. There is no question
but that the fusionists are paying as
much or more attention to the legis-
lative ticket than to the remainder of
the ticket, aud as the campaign adj
vances, the whole power of the fusion
hosts is likely to be concentrated upon
the legislative candidates. While the
fusion state ticket was undoubtedly
made to trade for Lind, as his chances
wane, it will be turned to trade on for
legislative place Republicans should
turn deaf ear to all fusionadvances,
and should stand to man by their
legislative tickets. With full vote
that should be gotten out, Van SAINT
will be elected by good plurality and
that same vote ought to stand just as
firm for a Republican representation
in the legislature that will stand by
Hon. Knute Nelson for the United
States senate to succeed himself. Let
Republicans everywhere be on the
alert in this respect. In Blue Earth
county the Republicans have an ex-
cellent legislative ticket, every mem
Der of which should be elected by a
good majority. Blue Earth county
should send solid delegation that
will stand for the reelection of Senator
Nelson, a man who will stand by the
policy of protection of American in
dustries, a sound money system, and
the PRONUNCIATION of American prin-
ciples, and who never will agree to the
hauling down of the flag from over
any American possessions Besides
the matter of United States senator,
there will be important matters before
the legislature to be looked after,
which is an additional reason why the
Republicans of this county should see
that their entire Legislative ticket is
elected.

London Papers Find a Reason for Amer

LONDON, Sept. 25.-The afternoon
newspapers which comment on the
American reply to the German note at
tribute it to the political exigencies."
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
ut is shock to find the government
at Washington taking the position
that the question of the punishment of
Chinese responsible for the outrage,
torture and murder of American citi.
zens should be left to the initiative of
the murderers themselves, for it. is inn
possible to doubt that the responsible
authors are the imperial authorities.
The Globe says: "The refusal must
have mischievous effect at Peking.
Much as President cKinley's attitude
Is to be deplored it can have no effect
on the British government which, of
course, will continue to insist that the
punishment of the proved murderers
shall be an indispensable condition pre-.
cedent to the negotiations.

Within a week the usually bleak
month of October will have arrived,

twenty mine years the mean or normal
temperature of October has been AZ
