One OF the cases which attracted
great attention 10 Jim Ham Lewis Of
Washington for his daring defense was
that Of a young man named George
Williams, who Drained the superin-
tendent OF the Port BlakeIy Lumber
mill with n fragment of iron pipe. The
deceased vas shown 10 have been a
tyrannical superior. Lewis defended
Williams on the ground that the super
intendent. though n man in form. was
a beast in character; that 1t was the
indirect order of God some man should
kill him: that Williams simply per
formed a duty 10 society. An acquittal
followed. TO the utter CONSERVATION Of
the county, the jury going to the ex-
tent Of inquiring IL there was no way
in which Williams could be indemni-
fed for the two years and a half he
spent in jail awaiting trial.

Page had been educated in Paris.
where he lad formed the absinth hab-
il. Lewis defense was that Page had
been given Cannabis indica. or what
is known as 'hasEeesb." and his vision
had become so distorted that he was
unable TO distinguish between the man
who was roobing him in TIE game and
the proprietor Of the hotel; that having

A Little Mistake.

A very pretty girl. with decided
air of being aware of her charms, stood
in front OF the lions cage out at the
zoo last Sunday afternoon. Two young
men were near her. and her elaborate
Inconsistencies of their presence be-
trayed the fact that she knew they
were looking at her.
Pretty. isn't it;" said one young
man in a low voice.
"She's n beauty" said the other en-
Enthusiastically. The pretty girls cheeks
turned trifle pinker, but she went on
talking elegantly to the elderly man
with her.
Beautiful head to draw" comment
ed the first young man. Look at the
way she holds IT,"
''Um, hum" assented the other; that
shoulders beautiful"
The pretty girl turned pinker still
and looked more pronouncedly uncon-
scious than ever.
Look at those muscles" said the
first young man. Look at the muscles
in that leg. You can fairly count EN-"
And the pretty girl turned very red
indeed. as it dawned upon her that the
two admiring young men were discuss

The coIonel. Romance.


Colonel" said the romantic girl
''tell me how you got that scar upon
your left cheek. Oh, | just know Il
must be a thrilling story. Was IL made
by bullet or n saber thrust? / prefer
a saber thrust. IL seems 20 much more
like the knighthood of old. You can't
see q bullet coming, and there 10 no
way to escape IL or combat il. but when
your enemy rushes at you with his up-
lifted saber there is the possibility OF
parrying his blow and cutting him
down. That seems much more manly,
even IL the victor in the fray does re-
ceive n wound or two. than to just be
laid low or TO lay the enemy low by
a bullet that cannot be seen. There 10
no bravery in shooting a man, but
there is something knightly in meeting
another face TO face with n sword.
Your scar looks like one that was left
by a cleaning blade, and / know that
your enemy must at least have been
rendered hors de combat. Tell me all
about IL. colonel-when it happened
and how. | am so interested in war
stories"
Yes" he replied. 81 agree with you
fully about the sword and saber busI-
ness. There isn't much bravery In
shooting n fellow. and there is some
thing knightly about standing u7 and
thrustinG and parrying with a blade.
But | got this wound while acting as
an innocent bystander at a Chicago
strike riot. II was a brick."-Chicago

WITH a force OF 5000 men, op-
posed by 10000 British, General
De Welt has succeeded in so ma
neuvering in the Free State as to
be able to cut Roberts communi-
cations by destroying the railway
for a distance of twenty miles.
= This is said to have thrown the
British plans into utter confusion
and will necessitate considerable
delay in proposed operations if it
does not force Roberts to establish

The appointment of Clifton r.
Breckenridge of Arkansas to be a
member of the Dawes commission to
succeed Mr.. McKennon was no sur
prise to those here familiar with late
happenings. For some time the Sec
retary of the interior has been dis
pleased with Mr.. McKennon's actions
and for several months there have
been constant rufnors that his resig-
nation had been called for. These
rumors, however, could not be con-
firmed, but nevertheless in admins
trative circles they are known TO be
correct. The announcement that he
was no longer a member of the COM
mission, therefore, last week was no
surprise.
The appointment of Clifton r.
Breckenridge as his successor was a
a personal recognition of the ability
of an old friend in congress by the
president. Mr.. Breckenridge, al
though quiet and unostentatious, is a
man of pronounced executive ability
and there is a general feeling that
his work on the commission will
give general satisfaction.

Little has been accomplished for
Indian Territory, but the prospects
for important legislation before the
present congress dies are unusually
bright. Only half dozen measures
of any considerable consequence,
outside of the general appropriation
bills, of interest to the Territory
have become laws. Certain provi-
sions of Mansield's Digest of the
laws in force in Arkansas have been
extended to the Territory. A bill
has become q law authorizing and
permitting the incorporation of COM
panies and partnerships in the Ter
ritory. The cutting of timber for
constructive purposes under such
rules and regulations as the secre-
tary of the interior may provide has
also been authorized. The timber
cnt, however, cannot be shipped out
of the Territory, and must be used
strictly within its borders. The
main object of the law was to per-
NIT the cutting of ties for the con-
struction of new railroads which are
now in process of construction
through the Territory. A United
States commissioners court has been
authorized ito be established in the
Seminole nation and various rights
of way have been given to railroad
companies organized for the purpose
of constructing electric and steam
railroads through the Territory.
The Creek and Cherokee treaties
have failed, but will pass at the
short session next winter. The
house committee on the judiciary
has agreed to report to the house a
substitute for the Gaines bill increas-
ling the number of commissioners
courts in the Territory and confer
ring upon them additional powers.

Washington, June 9.-The first
session of the Fifty-six congress
has passed into history. What it has
accomplished, and what it has failed
TO accomplish willform the baeis for
the political campaign this fall which
promises to be the most terrific con-
test for party supremacy ever known
in the history of the country with
pc ssibly the single exception of 1850
immediatly prior to the breaking out
of the civil war. The impartial rec
order of events will find much to
commend and much to condemn in
the legislation inacted and that
which still remains upon the calen-
dars of the house and senate.
Of all the bills which have become
a law the most conspicuous and far
reaching is the one imposing tariff
of fifteen per cent. upon any articles
of commerce between the United
States and the island of Porto Rico,
territory, or insular possession of
the United States. The mere i'm
position of such tariff is of little con-
sequence in itself, but the principle
involved is of the greatest import
ance for it establishes a precedent
for the future government of terri
tories, or the provinces of the Amer
lean government, and will form the
leading issue IN the campaign.
The enactment of the gold stand
ard law was a foregone conclusion,
and merely put into law the pledges
of the party in its platform of 1896.
This also will be one of the bitterly
contested questions in the coming
elections.
The enactment of the free home
stead law, the most important piece
of legislation to the west passed by
congress, the credit for which is
largely due to the young and vigor-
GUS delegate from Oklahoma, met
with little opposition, and was gen.
orally approved by all parties and
factions.
The passage of the antitrust law
by the house was a fitting response
to the appeals of the people for such
legislation. The failure of the SEN
ate to remain in session until this
bill was finally placed upon the
statute books of the country has
called forth bitter criticism and will
fig 70 large ly in the campaign.
The failure of the senate to pass
the Nicaraguan Canal bill, providing
quick communication between the
two oceans for our merchant marine
and navy was probably the soresi
disappointment to the country OF
any legislation neglected. 1t forms
one of the omissions of the party in
power which it will have to explain
and defend upon the stump this fall
| Such in brief is an analysis of the
record of congress on the great ma.
tioual questions which have come
before it. Other measures of lest
importance have been disposed o.
and are pending on the calendars by
the scores. They will enter to 6
greater or less extent 10 the cam
paigns in the various localities.

horticultural Observations.

When trees are planted In an or
chard with the idea Of cutting some
OF them out the Missouri pippin Is
recommended for alternate rows. 1t
is an early bearer and short lived. The
trouble with trees that are not short
lived Is that when once put into the
orchard they are neglected and al
lowed to grow long after they should
have been taken out. A tree that dies
itself is to be preferred in such posi-
ton.
The state fruit lists are open to
criticism, especially when the states
cover several degrees of latitude or
have diverse conditions caused by large
bodies OF water or many elevations.
Most OF these fruit lists are made by
a committee chosen from different
parts Of the state. often coming from
counties where the soil. climate, and
elevations are different. They meet
and find themselves at variance and
have to patch up the best truce they
can. Perhaps this Is as well as can
be done under the circumstances, but

Someone asks the question: "Is cold
storage diminishing the necessity for
late-keeping varieties of apples?" In
the light Of the present years expert
ence We would say no. Even cold stor-
age cannot be depended on to keep
the fall varieties till mid-winter or
spring. Many thousands of barrels OF
that kind Of fruit that went into cold
storage last fall kept very badly. This
may not have been the fault of the
cold storage. but Of the condition OF
the fruit when It was put in. We can
not depend on storing fruit in proper
condition for storage. or Of having It
eaten up as soon as 1t gets out Of the
cold storage house. We must have
