Senate Passes Bill Amending the Orig

House Will Vote on the Reapportion-
ment Bill This Afternoon.
B Washington, Jan. S.-A notable
speech was delivered in the senate yes
terday by Lodge (Mass9. Addressing
the senate on the amendment of the
military committee striking out the
provision in the army reorganization
bill for veterinary corps, he dis
cussed briefly and principally in the
form of colloquy with Bacon (Ga.)
the Philippine question and the neces-
Sity for an army of 100000 men. In
conclusion, he drew brilliant word
picture of the commercial future of
the United States, declaring that the
trade conflict with Europe, already
begun, could result only in the CONNER
cial and economic supremacy of this
country over the entire world. In this
Industrial conflict he apprehended no
danger from a material contest with
any nation of the world, but he urged
the necessity for a strong and scien
tifically organized army and powerful
navy, in order that the United States
might be prepared to defend it's rights
against any possible war. The speech
created profound impression.
During the afternoon the senate rati-
fed the military committees recon-
meHdation to eliminate the house pro-
vision for a veterinary corps in the
1 army. Senator Teller (Colo.) gave no
& tice of substitute he will offer for
the entire pending measure, continu-
I ing in full force and effect the act of

ACCIDENTAL SHOUTING.
Mrs. Jacob Parr, of Lake City,
Receives gun shot. Not
thought TO be Fatal.

Mrs. Jacob Parr WIS shot in the
small OF the back Monday morning by
22-caliber rifle. She and her son.
James, were on their way to Medicine
Lodge when the accident happened.
MIR. Parr had just shot quail and was
in the act of reloading when the gun
was accidently discharged
DR.. Moore was summoned and he
reached the Parr residence shortly af
ter dinner. He found an ugly wound
IN. the back but after applying
medicine she rested nicely. The wound
is not considered serious. Soon after
DIR. Moore had dressed the wound, DR..
HutchesOn, of Goats, also arrived and
after consultation they decided not
to probe for the bullet. 1t can do nc
harm unless part of the clothing was
carried in with it, and at any event the
physicians do not fear bad results.
Mr.. Parr feels very badly over the &C
cident. He is usually very careful with
guns but this time he was very unfor-
tunate. We hope Mrs. Parr will recov.
or speedily.

The Southwestern Kansas Teachers
Association held its annual meeting at
Arkansas City. Friday and Saturday,
November 18th and 30th. More than
800 teachers we're in attendance and q
splendid program was given. Two of
the most interesting features were the
addresses given by ex-State Superin-
tendent Stanley on the subject of THE
Problem of Anarchy and its Suppress
sioD;" and State Superintendent Mel
son on Educational Results
Prof. Shepardson also sent very in.
teresting paper on the subject of "In-
stitutes-A New Plan" which was
read by Superintendent Lake, Mr.. Shep.
ardson not being able to be present.
Friday evening very fine musical
entertainment was given at the Opera
house free TO all teachers who had en-.
rolled.
Considering the number of teachers
employed in the county. the distance to

present-sixteen more than were in at.
tendance last year.
Principal Ira Stout of Hazelton was
elected as member of the executive
committee for the ensuing year.
The next meeting will be held at Ell
Dorado.
Those in attendance should be con-
graduated upon the enterprise shown
in going to this meeting. Barber coun-
ty has many good teachers aud there is
no reason why they should not push
themselves to the front and place the
county among the foremost in the state
in the cause of education.
The following were in attendance:
Cecile Osborn Ermine Osborn
Mrs. Geo. Osborn Mamie Smart
Stanford Smart Lloyd Davis
Hiram Cushenbery Harry McGuire

A representative of Crane & Co. s
legal blank and blank book concern
was doing the court house last week.
Special effort was made by several re-.
publicans to swell the order so that the
court house might be supplied for sew
eral years. They argued that the goods
are much cheaper now than they will
be after the new county printer is in
stalled. The same gang didn't admit
that much during the campaign. The
new county printer does not expect to
take undue advantage of the county
purchasing agent clause, but be con-
dennis the stacking up" tactics. If
the republican candidate for county
printer had been elected, Crane s. Co..
Qodsworth and the Hutchinson
News Co.. would not have received a
single order between November and
January. Some Of our republican
friends are becoming extrayagantly
economical al at once.
