CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The shipping
bill was kept at the front in the senate
throughout the day. No appreciable
progress was made, most of the time
being occupied by Senators Turley
(Tenn.) and Jones (Ark.) in speeches
opposing the bill.
In the house when the section max
ing appropriations for the agricultural
colleges of the several states was
reached in the agricultural bill, Mr..
Lands of Indiana offered an amend
ment providing that no money should
be paid to the College of Utah until
the secretary of agriculture was salts
fed no trustee or teacher in the insti-
tuition practiced polygamy. Mr.. King,
who succeeded Roberts, inveighed
against it as simply an aftermath OF
the Roberts crusade. He insisted that
polygamy was thing of the past. Mr..
Lands replied by alleging that two
professors of the Utah agricultural
college were polygamists and that one
trustee has seven wives and thirty
seven children. Upon this showing
the house adopted the amendment, but
subsequently killed it.

as unfinished business can be taken
up when the appropriation bills are
not occupying attention. Senator Ba.
con of Georgia spoke on right of the
senate to demand information on flo
in the executive departments.
The house passed the senate bill to
create a commission to adjudicate the
claims of United States citizens
against Spain which the government
of the United States assumed by the
treaty Of Paris, after having amended
the bill so as to refer the claims to
the court of claims instead of to a
commission. A bill was, without de-
bate passed to extend the charters of
the national banks for another period
of 20 years after 1902 when the pres
ent extension expires.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The shipping
bill was kept steadily at the front In
the senate. Senators Rawlins of

Gus opposition. A spirited discussion
was precipitated by an amendment of
fered by Senator Clay of Georgia, pro-
posing to link the Nicaragua canal bill
with the shipping bill. The
proposition was strongly opposed
by Senators Frye and Chandler. The
bill was passed providing for the cree
ton of a public building at Superior,

supplies taken by the union army dur
ing the rebellion. The claims were

than brief summary.
Their report shows that there is now
on the school rolls nearly 1000 children.
Including all expenses the tax payers
paid at the rate of $11 80 for each child
this was in 1899, the 1900 report not
yet being published. Taking the entire
State, the average cost per pupil is 81 .O4,
making the schooling of a child in Har.
ford 1914 less than the average. This
speaks well for the present excellent
management when it is remembered that
no county has better school system and
few as good as ours.
The salaries last year cost $4,000

FINE ANIMALS.

There has been no better racing stables
for speed in this county and few in the
State than those of Mr.. Robert c.
Richardson. For several seasons the
PAGER Robert c was the marvel of lovers
of sport, and when he retired from the
track with a record of 2.11A, his owner
could we'll claim the credit of having de.
veloped one of the finest animals that
ever passed under the wire of race track.
As every one knows, Robert c was sired
by Thorndale Idol, whose progeny have
all been excellent animals. This old horse
has done great deal towards adding to
the reputation of the county in producing
fine driving animals.
Mr.. Richardson now has a stallion a
full brother of Robert c which he is offer
ing for limited services. His name is
Thorndale Idol, Jr., and he is perfect
image of the old horse. The principal
marks, including the star in the forehead,
are faithfully reproduced. While never
specially handled for the track he has
shown marked speed like his illustrious
brother. Other horses in Mr.. Richard
sons stables are Lassie Thorn, full
sister to Robert c. She is promising
two-year-old, but has not yet been much
handled. Maryland, that promised so
much speed last year is in good shape
to lower her record, 2.22A this season,
while Billie A makes excellent promise of
going below the thirties. Mr.. Richard
son has two-year-old stallion out ofhis
old mare May, sired by Thorndale Idol,
that shows every indication of being one
of the best in the State. Cora's Own,
who has been off since last summer
will soon be in shape to go into training
again.
Lovers of fine horse flesh can spend a
pleasant hour in looking over the stock
on Mr.. Richardson's farm at Churchville,
and he takes great pleasure in training
his travellers on the half mile track on his
premises.
