Washington, Jan. 15.-The Roberts in
vesitigation committee was in session
nearly all day, and it is reported to
night that its findings win probably be
presented in the house on Wednesday
1t is difficult 10 learn much of the
progress made by the committee, be-
cause of the ironclad rule which has
BEEN adopted by 1T relative to disclos-
uTes.
1t is, however, believed that Little
field of Maine may succeed in altering
the D1sns C. the majority of the COM
miUtee, headed by Iayler. There is yet
no certainty that there viii be a minor
ity report prepared by Littleield. 1t is
quite possible that he may be able 10
bring . majority Of the committee to
his way Of thinking as TO Roberts being
sworn.
LiUJIefeld mas impressed himself very
strongly on the committee as a deep
legal student Ond f0rceful man. His
position is that congress has no right
TO add to the constitutional disCuanfi-
cation os a member Of congress, and
he holds that the charges against Rob
erts, though proven, do not constitute
disqualification.
He agrees that congress has the
right Of exclusion The latter method
Of dealing with Roberts is the pet plan
Of Chairman Iayler.
It Will be seen that if Littlefield wins
out. 1T viii be a body blow for the chair
man.
Money For Federal Building.
Senator Rawlins is hopeful of a IA
vorable report on his proposition TO in
cre3se the 3mOUIt appropriated for the
salt Lake public building. AT an early
meeting Of the senate committee on
public buildings and grounds, the as
siStant secretary CT The treasury will
appear before the committee and make
a general recommendation for an m
crease in the amount carried for several
buildings already authorized.
In his report to the senate committee
he will at least recommend an increase
to $500. 600. He may go to the Sl5O,0OO
limit which Senator Rawllns deems nee
essary for the construction Of a proper
federal building at the Utah capital.
The assistant secretary viii not make
any exception in favor Of the Salt Lake
buildings. He VIII also recommend n
creases in many other buildings now IN

has already appeared before the house

mendation that all the appropriations
be increased as much as may be neces-
sarv, in view Of the largely increased

city such d public building as was con-

The arguments for an increased
amount for Salt Lake are regarded as
unusually strong, and Senator Rawlins

and I want it understood that if she
is placed On the stand it will not be

her humiliation"
However, Judge NorreI overruled the
county attorneys objection.
Wallace on the Stand.
Mr.. Wallace testified that he had been
connected with St Marks hospital five
and a half years. He first made the
acquaintance Of the defendant about
two years ago when he was recruiting
at Fort Douglas. He first met Mrs.
Mills about a year prior TO that time.
He remembered the occasion Of Mr.
beginning of July, 1893. The defendant
was then suffering from necrosis of the
rib. An operation was performed on
him. When he left the hospital he was
extremely weak
A week before the tragedy occurred
he had met the defendant three or four
times aid had observed his mental con-
ditiOn; that he was extremely nervous
and eXcitable.
The witness further testified that the
defendant had told him about a week
prior to the day Of the tragedy that he
had made certain discoveries which led
him TO believe that his wife was not
fsithful to him. He told him he had
70 md letter which had made him be-
leve that his wife was not faithful
Wallace gathered from what he said
that he knew who the person was,
though there was no reference about
Mr. O'Melveney being connected with
it.
He saw defendant the day of the
homicide in the presence of Mrs. Wal
lace and Mrs. Mills at the hospital.
When he, Wallace, first went into the
room, Mills was trying to discover from
his wife who it was that betrayed her
Witness did not remain in the room
during the entire conversation. He left
about fifteen or twenty minutes for
luncheon. When he re-entered he no
ueed that Mrs Mills had q paper in
her hand, and Mr.. Mills asked her Ii
that statement was true. and she re-
Piled yes" Then he handed the paper
to witness and asked him to keep it.
The witness was shown defendant

paper testified about. He answered that
it wss; that h kept il in his possession
until he handed it to Judge Powers on
Tuesday or Wednesday Of last week.
After Mrs. Mills left the room, de-

that man and myself have slept under

about self destruction and threatened
( to kill the children. Mrs. Mills was pres
ent at that time. The defendant left
the hospital about 2:30. Mrs. Mills re-
manned at the hospital
Agreement of Separation.
The witness testified that prior to
that lime a paper was sent to him by
Captain Mills requesting him to get
Mrs. Mills signature and return il to
him if he did. The paper was handed
to the witness by counsel and after

Swanberg, who for some time has been
herding sheep for Ed Rife IN the south
ern part Of this county, was found dead
five miles west Of here within a few
feet Of the Union Pacific tracks this
morning BY a passing freight crew, who
notified the coroner and he brought
Swanberg to town. There is a. large
swelling back of the neck on the corpse
of Swanberg and one leg is broken, and
appearances would indicate that he
either fell off a train or was knocked
off and came to his death that way

EEHDRICE LIKE MONTE CRISTO
PECULIAR PREDICAMENT OF
LITTLE IDAHO TOWN.
Overwhelmed by the Raging Pot
latch River, But Not a Drop to
Water to Drink.

Moscow, Ida, Jan. 15.-The water in the
big Pouatch river is receding, but a large
part of the town Of Kendrick is still under
water The change of the river current
toward the town is said to be partly the
result of recent train wreck. Many
tons Of steel. rails were left in the river.
This caught the drift wood and formed a
dam which diverted the channel and
turned il toward the main street of Ken
dTicl-.
The stores will lose thousands Of dollars
in ruined goods, as IN many of the build
ings the water was waist deep. The
tracks Of the Northern Pacific railway for
miles between NOllmer and Lewiston are
washed out
Strange as It may seem one of the sOrest
needs Of kcndriek is drinking water. as
the waterWorks and wells are ruined.
The water is al muddy and not fit to
use
An engine and passenger train lie on
the side track near the depot Ind can go
neither forward nor backward. For a
long distance the river now runs where
the railroad grade was. It viii take, in
the opinion of railroad men, three months
to repair the road.

"sheridan's Ride" Knocked. Out.

According TO Gen Stephen H. Man
ming, Phil Sheridan's famous ride from
Winchester to Cedar Creek, by which
Federal defeat was transformed into
victory, was mere twaddle. Like the
legend Of Barbara Fritchie," the
Sheridan incident has been embalmed
in poetry and even crept into history.
"Since then, says General Manning,
it has been absolutely useless to tell
the truth about this historic incident"
General Manning, according to Bos-
ton dispatch to the New York Press,
was second in command of the Sixth
Army Corps during Sheridan's famous
Iaid through the Shenandoah Valley.
He declares he can no longer resist
the temptation to tell the truth and
correct the damnable injustice of the
faxed historical accounts of the battle
of Cedar Creek" Sheridan, 1t will be
remembered, was 20 miles away, at
Winchester, when his army was de-
feated by Earlyat Cedar Creek. He
at once rode to the scene of action, ,ac-
cording to the poet, halted his beaten
and retreating troops, reformed lis
corps, attacked Early and snatched
victory from the jaws of defeat. The
Sheridan ride is pure poppyccck, says
General Manning. "He did ride from
Winchester, but no faster than any
other well-mounted officer could have
done. He claims to have found the
whole army disorganized and flying
down the valley and that his presence
turned the tide. 1t is absolutely false.
His coming changed nothing. The
truth is that when he arrived our lines
had been reformed and were rapidly
marching upon Early's demorall2ed
forces. History now teaches that
Sheridan found the whole army re-
treating. it was too good an oppor-
tunity for Sheridan to miss, and he
was ready to gain Immortality by
slandering a brave army and It's noble
general All history furnishes no
greater example of perfdy and in
Justice" General Manning says he
met Sheridan two years before the lat
ters death and Little Phi" admitted
that he had done wrong in claiming
credit for the victory over Early Mt
Cedar Creek. The hero of that battle,
in General Manning opinion, was
Gen. Horatio Gouverneur Wright, who
was in command Of the Sixth Corps at
Cedar Creek. If the iconoclasts are
not all wrong Barbara Fritchie' and
"Sheridan's Ride" are unwarrantable
psrversions of history, mere poetical
inventions. In the case of "Sheridans
Ride" the poet, according to General
Mannings severe Characterization, has
written "twaddle. The romantic
nonsense about Civil War heroes and
heroinss is not confined, however, TO
the verses Of ingenious and magma
tive poets. Some very pretentious
histories are full Of just such "twad-
die.

THE VIOLET.

Down in a green and shady bed.
A modest violet grew:
Its stalk was bent. it hung its head,
As If to hide from view.
And yet it was lovely flower,
It's colors bright and fair;
1t might have graced rosy bower
Instead of hiding there.
Yet there it was content to bloom.
In modest tints arrrayed
And there it spread its sweet perfume,
Within the silent shade.
Then let me to the valley go.
This pretty flower to see
That | may also learn to grow
In sweet humility.
