PROGRESS HAS TURNED PIRATE.
Startling Figures Showing the Increase in Expend
lures Are Given in the House OF Representatives.

During the debate Thursday upon
the sundry civil appropriation bill a
general assault was opened upon the
extravaganza of the present congress,
Messrs. Bell of Colorado, Richardson
OF Tennessee and Cochran of Missouri
in turn making speeches.
Mr.. Bell of Colorado, member of
the appropri ltions committee, pro-
duced figures to show that in q single
decade the per capita cost of carrying
on the governmental machinery had in
creased from 81 IS to over $40.
Mr.. Cochran of Missouri declared
that the total appropriations for the
next year, if reckoned in gold, would
exceed the appropriations in 1864, when
the federal government had 200 ships
on the sea maintaining blockade from
Galveston to the Chesapeake, and
100000 men on land engaged in the
most tremendous military enterprises
in the history of the age.

in other receptacles.
1t was shown that ohe liquified air
destroys the elasticity of india rubber,
which becomes hard and as brittle as
glass. 1t can then be pulverized. When
the air has evaporated the india rubber
again becomes elastic. Meat can be
treated in the same manner. Professor
D. Arsonval showed beefsteak that

Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee, the

$40, 900, 900. He conceded that the APP
preparations would naturally increase
every year; but why, he asked, this
prodigious increase of over $500, 000,-
600 /?
The war had been over two years and
could not be charged with these in
creases, for the increases were not con-
fined to the army and navy appropria-
tion bills. There was an increase in
every one of the appropriation bills.

FARMERS AND FERTILIZERS.
Going to Try for a 100000 Bale Crop
This Year, Probably.

An Atlanta special 60 the Savannah
News says: The amount OF fertilizers
of which is being sold to the farmers
in Georgia this year is, perhaps, larger
than ever before. The state agri-
cultural department reports immense
sales in every county in middle Geor-
gia, and it looks as If more guano will
be used this year than any previous
year. The railroads have their hands
full in hauling and the guano factories
all over the country are being taxed to
their utmost capacity. According to
the officials of the agricultural depart
ment this means that an unusually
large cotton crop Is to be planted this

A Massachusetts Congressman
Tripped and Fell Over

Representative Charles f. Sprague,
of the Massachusetts delegation to
Washington, tripped and fell over the
color line the other day. Mr.. Sprague

District of Columbia. He conceived
the idea that it would be nice thing

Representative White of North Caro-

is a member of the committee, had re-

Mr.. Sprague's dinner. Then the 9TH

they were going out of town on the date
set for the function. So many of them
found themselves under the necessity
of recalling the acceptance that
Sprague was obliged to announce the

The Country and the Town.

A recent grand jury in Laurens coun-
tY took occasion to incorporate in their
general presentments a few words of
congratulation upon the growth of the
city of Dublin and the county of which
it is the principal town. The resolu-
ton called attention to the friendly
feeling which exists between the peo-
pie of the country and of the town, and
pointed out that the interests of one
are the interests of the other and that
instead of jealousy, strife and hatred
there should exist good feeling and
friendship.
The resolutions adopted by the Lau-
rens county grand jury would fit well
in Terrell equity today. 1t is proba BILE
that there has never been time in
the history of this section of the state
when the people in town and country
understood each other better or were
more interested in each others well
fare.
The Valdosta Times, in discussing
these resolutions. says /:
The people Of the city understand
very we'll that the permanent growth
and prosperity of their town depend
upon a similarly prosperous condition
among the people upon the farms. On
the other hand the people of the rural
communities are learning that it Is
much better for them to have a good
market for their products such as a

The New York Sun says: The liner

ment which always follows and, in this
section, at least, the people of the rural
communities are joining their breth-
rem in town and are working together
for the advancement and prosperity of
all.
Anything that interrupts the friend
ly relations between the markets and
the people who are dependent upon
them does an injury to both of these
classes. No greater calamity could be-
fall the county than for the people in
the country to allow a spirit of strife
and hatred to abide with them against
their mark citing place. There are adj
vantages which the people of the cities
enjoy which those in the country do
not have, yet there are blessings which
the people in the rural communities
have that the town people know not Of.
So far as happiness is concerned, the
odds are favorable to the man upon the
farm. But outside of the comforts and
the pleasures, the cities and ;he rural
districts are too dependent upon each
other to allow prejudice to linger be-
tween for moment.
Instead of building up walls OF strife
and bitterness we should occupy our
time in clearing away the barriers
which nature has built up-leveling
the highways and increasing the ease
by which the two may communicate
with each other. A city is the heart
which sends life and vigor along the
highways leading therefrom, as the
veins carry the blood of life through
out the body.

sam MOSER'S CREED
MADE HIM MURDER.
FONDLY KISSED HIS THREE CHILDREN
AND THEN SHOT THEM.
Rigor OF Amish Faith Caused Illinois
Man to Stay His Family. Now
On Trial for His Life.

In dingy, old fashioned Tazewell
county courthouse there began yester-
day morning one of the most sensa-
tional trials in the criminal history of
central Illinois, says Pekin, H., dis
patch.
Sam Moser, a former member of the
Amish colony, was called to the bar of
| justice TO answer for the confessed
murder of his wife and three children.
Behind the crime lies story of pc
culiar religious faDaticism driving to
qua1ruple murder man who dared to
love his wife and children in violation
of the prime tenets of the sect to which
he belonged, and for which he was
banished from the church.
On the night of May 18th, last, driv-
en- almost insane by his ,expulsion.
Moser shot down in cold blood his wife
and three young sons.
Mrs. Moser was killed while prepar
ing meal. After the fatal shot was
fired the murderer kpelt by his dead
wifes side and prayed, covering the
lifeless form with blanket, and
thensought out his eldest son Israel.
Calling the boy, under pretense
that he wanted him to go for bucket
OF water, the murderer imprinted
kiss on the lads lips, covered his eyes
and then sent bullet crashing through
his heart
Benjamin, the second son, was then
called into the house.
A kiss, shot, and Benjamin had
joined his mother and brother.
The nine-month-old baby was lying
in the cradle. Leaning over it Moser
kissed the infant and then finished his
terrible work by firing and killing
him.
Moser then gathered his dead and
laid them in the pArlor. Sitting down
at the table, over which he was won't
to discuss his religious troubles with
his wife, he wrote
$40 the Postmaster of New York.
Inform the postmaster at Norton.
Tazewell county, that my wife and
boys can be found dead at my place.
''They have gone to rest and [ will
follow. SAM MosER. ;,
Moser then left the house and walk
ing down the road few hundred yards
turned the revolver against himself.
He succeeded, however, in INJECTING
only slight wound in the head.
With the blood streaming down his
face he wandered on, trampine the
country over for several days, finally
reaching Bloomton. Then he went to
Kansas City and later 20 Salt Lake CITY.
where he attempted again to kill him

a farewell letter fell into the hands
Of the police and Moser was placed un-
der arrest and brought back to the
scene of his crime. He admitted the
crime, but pleaded that "they were
better off.
