Husband and Wife Reconciled After
Thirteen Years,

Ottumwa, Iowa. Feb "A religious
revival at Zion Center was responsible
in effecting reconciliation between
husband and wife who, thirteen years
ago, quarreled over the name for their
young baby, and have all this time
lived under the same roof, yet have by
no sign given any evidence that the
other existed. The three sons and three
daughters of the couple are wild with
joy over the fact that their parents
have made up all differences, and the
principals seem to be no less happy.

way. Opposition to the bill continued
to be vigorously expressed, Mr.. Teller
making an extended speech in criti-
cism of the war department and of

final vote several Republican senators
voted with the Democrats against the
report. The shipping bill was discussed
during the latter part of the day and

Washington, Jan. 81. - The anti
polygamy crusade which resulted in
driving Mr.. Roberts out of the house
of representatives at the last session
had an echo in the house yesterday
during the consideration Of the aari-
cultural appropriation bill. When the
section making the appropriations for
agricultural colleges of the several
states was reached Mr.. Lands of In
diana offered an amendment providing
that no money should be paid to the
college in Utah until the secretary OF
agriculture was satisfied that no trus-
tee or teacher in the institution prac-
ticed polygamy. The amendment came
as complete surprise. Mr.. King. who
succeeded Mr.. Roberts, tried in vain to
head it off with a point of order and
then inveighed against it as simply an
aftermath of the Roberts crusade. He
insisted that polygamy was a thing OF
the past. Mr.. Lands replied by al
leging that two of the professors OF
the Utah agricultural college were
polygamists, and that one of the trus-
tees had seven wives and thirty -seven
children. Upon this showing the
house adopted the amendment, where
upon Mr.. King retaliated by offering
an amendment providing that none Of
the money should go to agricultural
IN of "a whose instruct OrS
or trustees have engaged in lynching
or been guilty of adultery or fornica-
ton. He afterward modified it so as
to apply only to the agricultural COL
lese of Indiana Subsequently when
the bill was reported to the house the
Lands amendment was stricken out
by a vote of GO to 10. The friends OF
the farmer were very much in evil
dence during the day and against an
| aggressive opposition lied by Mr.. Ma
hon of Pennsylvania voted into the bill
| an additional appropriation Of $4,000
for farmers bulletins" There was
also considerable discussion of the ir-
rigation of the arid lands in connec-
ton with the paragraph providing for
an investigation of that subject. The
bill was passed.
In the Senate.
The ship subsidy bill was kept to
| the front yesterday. No appreciable
progress was made, most of the time
being occupied by Mr.. Turley of Ten
nessee and Mr.. Jones of Arkansas in
speeches opposing the bill and severe,
ly arraigning it's alleged favoritism.
Mr. Jones declared it should be en-
titled "a bill to permit a select coterie
of ship owners to loot the United
States treasury" After the speeches
the formal reading of the bill was
completed, but the consideration Of
amendments was not entered upon.
EARLY in the day an unsuccessful eff
fort was made to secure agreement
to the conference report on the army
reorganization bill.
