discussing the action of the treasury
department in imposing the counter
vailing duty on certain Russian pro-
ducts Secretary Gage explained in
detail the action which the depart

animously approved what he had
done. He was authorized to give

HEN WITH A RECORD.
Sho Profits by an Experience After Her
Eggs Are Once Stolen

LOgansport, Ind, June 21.-Harve
Pierson has a record-breaking hen.
She started on March 1 to lay eggs,
and never made Il skip until May 10,
When she disappeared from her accus-
toned hauntS. Last summer she built
her nest in a tree to hatch u brood of
chicks, but crows stole the eggs. and
il was not known that she profited by
the experience until this week. when
PiersOn accidentally discovered the
hen, with thirteen chicks, in an old
box stove in Il vacant house at the
back of the farm.
The chickens were evidently a week
of more old, and as they could not get
out of the stove the mother had car
ried grain and pieces of bread&to them
until the door of the stove was opened
and she led her brood forth. The hen
had entered the old stove through the
pipe, and made her egress in the same
manner. 81

THE WAY HE WAS ABUSED,
And the Way the PopuIncs Swallowed the
Abuse Later.

In spite of the fact that the plan to
transform the place into modern
city had been unpopular. Shepherd
had continued the work. The citizens
not only had protested against the law
ish expenditure of money. but had met
in local halls and denounced the plan
Of Improvement They also accused
the governor of corrupt methods. They
said that he was a member of n cor
rupt ring. and that the vast improve
ments were planned and carried out
simply to give the members of the ring
who posed rs contractors and subcon-
tractors a chance to put the bulk of
the money appropriated into their own
pockets.
The tax rate naturally was in
creased, and denunciation of the self
willed governor who refused TO change
i'm the slightest detail his plans for the
transformation of the city was heard
on every hand. In 1874 he was de-
posed as the controlling spirit i'm the
district office. At that time he had
spent $4O.OOO.O0O in effecting the
change in Washington. and had left
as an inheritance on the taxpayers
debts TO the amount of $27, 10000
But the work had been done, or was
in such a stage that it had to he COM
pleted. And completed ii was. and on
the magnificent scale outlined by Shcp-
herd.
Shepherd returned to Washington
i'm 1895. after persistent request of the
taxpayers. The old style or system of
local government has been changed,
and instead of a governor there were
three commissioners. And that was
not the only change he noticed. The
people-the same who denounced him
and his methods in 1S74-were clamor-
ing to entertain him. 1t was n great
day for Washington in the summer of
1895 when tie people received as their
welcome and honored guest the man
who had been driven out of office In
1874 for Identifying the city.
An oDen-air reception and banquet
characterized the return of Shepherd.
Many pleasant things were said to
him. He was praised for having the
foresight to plan. away back in 1874.

Shepherd is at a loss to explain the
motive prompting his aSsailant. Shep-
herd has been engaged in the mining
business at Batopilas since 1879. soon
after he was depOsed as governor of

most unpopular of men. He was
called boss and was credited with
having planned IMPROVEMENTS, changed
the grade of streets and avenues, laid
out parks and otherwise beautified the
capital city of the nation, changes
which at first sight appeared to the
residents and landowners only as an
other form of higher taxes for an in
definite period.

Having been virtually turned out of
office by the taxpayers of Washington
in 1874 Shepherd returned to his
plumbing business. But he found his
business gone, and so unpopular was
