An old German was on his deathbed. In
his earlier years he had led a wild life but
since the death of Schneider, one OF his
boon companions. he had reformed and
given up his bad habits This Schneider In
his day had been a mighty drinker, famous
for his capacity and carouses.
The priest was ministering to the dying
man. consoling him with visions OF the
paradise he would soon enter telling him
that he would meet there his old friends
and what JOY It would be to see them
all again
The dying man asked feebly. "wni
Schneider be there. your reverenceT
Thinking to give him pleasure. the priest
replied: Yes. Schneider viii be there"
"Ach." said the other dot II very badi
IAN dose dring1ngs and eadings and nghd-

But there will be no drinking in
heaven" said the priest.

And there won't be no dringings, you

Girl Student Has Greek Letters
Burned Into Her Forehead.
Wichita, Kan, Jan. 25.-Miss Pauline
Lewelling, second eldest daughter Of
the late Gov Lewelling, was brutally
hazed by women members of the Alpha
Theta Mu society of the Wichita high
school, The letters A. T. NJ. We're
burned across her forehead with nitrate
of silver, and the doctors say that the
scars cannot be removed. The letters
are in Greek. She allowed reporters to
look at the scars last night. They are
one-fourth of an inch deep. When
asked for details of the hazing Miss
I.ewelling refused to disclose any of
the girls who took part in the hazing,
and would not even tell when or Where
it happened. The school board will
have the young women arrested if they
can find out their names. To this ac-
tion the victim takes radical exception,
and says she does not want them pun
ished because it was all done in fun,
and she was very anxious to join the
Alpha Theta Mu, no matter how Sc
we're were their initiation ceremonies.

Local Action Will Re Necessary I'm
der the Rcapportionment Law.
Washington. Jan. 25. - The legisla-
lures of thirty-siX states now in session
are expected to take action upon the
new reapportionment law, under which
members of the house of representa-
tives will be elected in 1902. The law
will make the house of the Fifty eighth
congress consist of 1856 members instead
of, S57 as at present. The next house,
which was elected last fall under the
old law, will be of the size of the pres
ent. Under the new law no state will
lose representative. The gains will
be as follows: Illinois, New York and
Texas, 8 each; Minnesota, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, 2 each; Arkansas,
California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts,,
Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Washington, West Vir-
ginia and Wisconsin, each. The leg
islatures of these twenty states may in
their discretion redistrict their states
so as to provide new districts, or the
additional representatives may be
elected at large.

WARNS BLIND PIGS.
Attorney General COmstoc11 Will See
That the Law Is Enforced.


Attorney General Comstock issues a
warming to alleged sellers of liquors in
Bismarck, that they must close their
places of business, rid themselves of all
gambling apparatus or take the conse-
quonces, which, he says, will be prose-
cution at the hands of the attorney
general. Last summer, injunctions is
sued by Attorney General Cowan were
served on a number of places in Bis
marck where it was suspected liquor
was being sold. Nothing was found in
the way of liquors, but the injunctions
have force as restraining orders. No
action has been taken towards relieving
the places of injunctions, and Mr.. Com
stock says it has come to his ears that
liquor is now being sold in these places
in violation of law. This makes a pri-
ma facie case of contempt, and the per-
sons alleged to be violating the law are
liable to be summoned before the dis
trict judge to answer. Although Attor-
ney General Comstock was bitterly op-
posed by the Prohibitionists at the last
election, he has given it out that he in
tends to enforce the laws of the state
when evidence is laid before him, and
his first act as attorney general was to
ask for control of the prosecution in
the Patterson case.

Prof. T.. f. Kaufman of the state ag-

batting the opposition to the Grout
bill. which has developed among the
ranchnen in the western part of the
state. under the suggestion of the Ma
tional Live Stock association. The pro-
ressor is a warm advocate. ofkthe dairy
interests. and goes into the matter at
considerable length refuting the, state
nent of the ranchnlen that the bill will
,,eaa a less of 50 per head to them for
their cattle. He shows that at the
worst it cannot be over a few cents
the difference in they price between
what the fat would bring the tallow
and the price it sells for as COM
moment part of butterine. He states
hat if there is to be any favoritism
e.hown it should be to the dairymen
with their 100000 cattle rather than
to the men who raise only 100000

: Washington, Jan. "a. Consideration
of the shipping bill was resumed yes

Mr.. Vest of Missouri took the floor
Immediately in a Enthusiastically
brilliant, forceful and interesting
speech lasting nearly three hours. He
advocated free ships and vigorously
attacked the navigation laws of the
United States, holding that they were
responsible for the decadence of the
merchant marine of America. Early
In the session Mr.. Rawlins Dem.,
Utah) precipitated lively colloquy by
charging that a deal had been entered
into by Republican members of the
Utah legislature and certain railroad
interests and the officials of the Nor
mon church to secure the election of
Thomas J.. Kearns to the senate from
that state. He aroused Mr. Hale of
Maine, and Mr.. Chandler of New
Hampshire, who contended that the
statement of Mr.. Rawlins ought not to
be made in the senate at this stage of
the proceedings in Utah, as the senate
could not consider the question in any
phase in advance Of action.
In the House.
The house passed the District of
Columbia appropriation bill and en-
tered upon consideration of the naval
appropriation bill. There was some dis

Washington, Jan. 25.-The death of
Queen Victoria will make no difference
with diplomatic matters pending be.
tween Great Britain and the United
States,' except, perhaps, to delay their
disposition. 1t will, however, have a
notable effect upon social festivities in
Washington, as the British Russian
and German embassies will at once go
into mourning and withdraw invita-
tions already issued for several recep-
tions, dinners and balls. The Portu
