The condition of the roof of the
judiciary building is very bad. A plan
made by Marston Campbell looks very
much as if it was intended to portray a
sieve. The probability is that no'ning
save little patching can be done there
being no special appropriation to draw
upon. and new roof would swallow ur
nearly the whole of the appropriation
for repairs of Government buildings.

The plumbers do not like the applica-

KILLS THE BILL.
Anti. oleomargarine Measure Laid at
Rest for This Session.

Anti.oleomarearine Measure Laid at
Rest for This Session.
Washington, Jan. 15.-The anti-oleo-
margarine bill is killed for this ses-
sion. It will not be reported out of
the senate committee on agriculture,
neither will it be added as rider to
the war revenue bill. Secretary Ly-
man J. Gage appeared before the SEN
ate committee and his statement
clearly shows that he is opposed to the
measure. He said that the govern
ment which is now about to reduce the
revenues does not need the money that
would accrue from taxing oleomarga-
rine.
"If it is designed as revenue meas
ure," said Secretary Gage, 1--WE do not
need the revenue, and II it is not to be
classed as revenue measure it is GER
tainly a misnomer. am speaking
from the practical side of the question
as related to the revenue features of
the bill"
Mr.. Gage produced a report from a
travelling revenue agent which created
much surprise. The report showed
that in certain sections of the country
the farmers are selling their milk at
cheese factories and buying oleomar-
garine.
The report set forth that the farm
ers were ordering oleomargarine In
10-pound packages and after getting
good prices for their milk were max
ing profit ef at least 10 cents per
pound as between price of butter and
oleomargarine. The house bill is re.
corded as dead for this session.

NEELv GOES BACK.

Supreme Court Renders Decision In
the Extradition Case.
Washington, Jan. 15.-The United
States supreme court has rendered a
decision In the Neely extradition case.
The court held that Nicely was sub
ject to extradition and must be sur.
rendered to the Cuban authorities.
The court held that Cuba is foreign
territory, our only purpose in the war
with Spain being to free the Cubans
from Spanish domination. The decis-
ion was based upon the act of June
6. 1900, which act was held to be con-
stitutional.
Justice Harlan handed down the
courts opinion, which was unanimous
and Immediately after the opinion was
concluded an order Was Issued re.
quiring that the mandate in the case
be issued at once.
The opinion embraced complete
review of the case, explaining Neely's
crime and arrest and his effort to pre-
vent extradition to Cuba. The opinion
also detailed the laws relating to
extradition and quotes the act Of June
6, 1900, extending the provisions of
Section 5270 of the Revised Statutes
to any foreign country which is "oc-
cupied by or under the control Of the
United States" so as to make the law
cover crimes in such countries,

Giving Him a Rest.

The energy of one of the Oldest in

byword among his neighbors and a
trial to his grandchildren, who have
not inherited their full share of his ac-
tive temper.

from Goldfish to brooms, may be found.
A purchaser Of gingersnaps fingered

delivered to poor John by his grand
father.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Many Things of Which It's Gradu-
ates Are Ignorant.

Many Things of Which It's Gradu-
ates Are Ignorant.
The failure of the Sunday school as
means of giving systematic and
thorough knowledge of the Bible is
great. A teacher in city high school
asked an advanced class of 40 or so pu-
pills, who had been drilled for years in
the international Sunday School Les
sons, how to proceed in order to reach
Palestine, and not one could give the
desired information. Then she asked
the class in what part of the world
Palestine is located, and no one knew.
That Is very good specimen of Sum
day school teaching and can be paral-
leled anywhere by those who will take
the trouble to ask few questions. The
ignorance Of the Bible on the part of
most persons of average intelligence is
something amazing. The simplest
questions will elicit no answer on the
part Of most such persons.
That educated persons know some
thing about the Bible may be assumed,
but not Xnless the training goes much
beyond the standard of the common
school. Again and again it has trans
pired that those who were generally
we'll Informed, who were fairly we'll
educated and regarded as bright and
clever, were almost totally ignorant of
the Bible. Their Sunday school train
ing had given them no knowledge of
the book that was Of any value, and,
however much they might have read it
since, it was to them sealed volume.

pELeAoo COMES IN.

commander-in.chief Of iIolIo Province
surrenders to General Hughes.
Washington, Jan. 15.-General Mac
Arthur reports the surrender of Del
gado, commander-in-chief of Iloilo
province, Panay. He also reports that
other important surrenders are ex-
pected during the next few days.
General MacArthur's cablegram to the
war department is as follows:
"Delgado, commander-in-chief, Ilo-
lilo, province Panay, surrendered Jan.
II to Brigadier General Robert
Hughes with officers, 21 men, 40
rifles. His commad much scattered.
Other surrenders expected within
next few days. Important. Signifies
end of organized armed resistance
Iloiio."
The dispatch gives much satisfac-
tion to the war department, although
the command surrendered by Delgado
is not large one. It was also noted
by the officials that the assurances
were for end of organized armed re-
sistance," indicating that there was
marauding in existence.

THE PEOPLE knew HIM,
Denson's Plaster Is Pains MASTERY

George Washington made and sold flour,
and every barrel of flour in the market
branded &C. Washington, Mount Vernon"
sold without delay. No question was ever
raised as to quality or weight.
Bensons Porous Plaster sells on its repu.
tation everywhere. All the buyer wants to
be certain of is that the plaster offered him
really is Benson's, and not q worthless imi-
tation of it or substitute for it.
Aplaster is the best form of external REM
edy, and Benson's is the best plaster; 5000
physicians and druggists, and a multitude
of people no man can number, have settled
that. "You can trust it," they say.
Coughs, colds, lame back. lumbago, mus
cular stiffness and rheumatism, troubles of
the liver and kidneys, influenza or grip,
pneumonia, and all other diseases open to
external treatment, are at once relieved and
cure: by Benson's Plaster.
Do not assume that Belladonna, Capsi-
cum or Strengthening plasters are ssiust as
good as" Benson's. They are vastly in
ferior.-No other plaster is as good as
Benson's.
In competition with the best-known
plasters of Europe and America, Benson's
have received fty.fue highest asoards.

British Get Comfort Out Of Continue.
tion Of Philippine War.
New York, Jan. 14.-A dispatch to
The Tribune from London says.
The chief source of consolation for
the bewildered public, which cannot
understand what is going on in South
Africa, is an occasional dispatch from
America Indicating that the Philippine
war is still in progress. No attempt Is
made to explain the fact that the two
branches of the English-speaking race
are simultaneously harrassed with the
dragging operations of apparently end
less and profitless campaigns. But
English humiliation is mitigated by
evidence that the Americans are still
far from the end of hostilities in the
islands.
General Kitchener is SO reticent that
pro-Boer journals like the Manchester
Guardian and alarmist sheets like The
Daily Mail are convinced that the sit.
uation is critical and that the British
army is virtually on the defensive and
in need of reinforcements. General
Kitchener takes the situation so coolly
that military men are disposed to rid
icule the idea that any descent upon
Worcester or Cape Town Is possible.

In less than five minutes he was

only an old wife's fable. Whether wild

though. owing to the shortness Of their
legs, they just touch their throats With

Peking, Jan. 14.-The joint note of
the powers has finally been signed by
the Chinese peace commissioners.
Prince Ching signed Saturday and Ii
Hung Chang, who is better, signed it
Sunday.
1t is understood that the malady
from which Ii Hung Chang is suffer-
ing is Brights disease. He was feel
ing worse Saturday and therefore
postponed the afixirg Of his sigma
ture, but Prince Ching was hopeful
that hc would be able. to sign Sunday,
which proved to be the case.
Prince Cling has protested ito the
court against the appointment said to
be contemplated OF viceroy Chang
Chih Tung as an envoy in place of Ii
Hung Chang. He believes the lat
ter's advice absolutely essential, al
though he believes it might be neces-
sary to appoint third plenpotetiary
for China and reiterates his desire for
the appointment of Sheng, who would
be acceptable to the foreigners.
So far as Cheng Chih Tung is con.
cerned the ENJOYS who know him per-
sonally say that while he is strongly
anti-foreign and has never made any
concealment of his dislikes and likes
they believe that he would be as salts
factory as Sheng and would therefore
make no objection on account of his
utterances. Indeed, the ministers
think 1t would be advantageous to
have Chang Chih Ting as Chinese
