come that way, and Mr.. fowler, with two

Washington, Sept. 25.-President Roose-
welt had long conference with Commits
sioner OF immigration Powderly to-day,
and while both gentlemen will not divulge
the subject of their conversation, it is
generally believed the president is giving
his personal attention to the solution of
the problem of more effective exclusion
of anarchists from the United States
He wants to know, first, whether any
thing more can be done under the laws
as they now stand and to learn exactly
what is now being done, also whether
there are any loopholes through which the
anarchists now coming in which can be
stopped without further legislation.
Upon results of his talk with Mr.. Pow
derby will depend largely the character
of the recommendations which he NAV
make to congress for the amendment of
the immigration laws.

A gentleman who has a steam mill
In Waldo, Mass, purchased a large
steam whistle, which he carried home
and placed on his mill. A number Of
boys conceived the idea Of stealing
this whistle-"just for a lark" they
said. The owner, hearing of their
plan, remained in his mill all night.
Sixty pounds of steam was kept up.
About midnight the boys put in an
appearance and climbed upon the root
Of the building. Just as one applied
wrench to the whistle, Mr.. Sanborn
opened the throttle wide and there
went up into the stiffness Of the night
such a screech as was never before
heard in Waldo. People jumped from
their beds in fright and wondered
what was up. The boys tumbled of
the roof Of that mill as though shot,
and departed as rapidly as their legs
could carry them, while Mr.. Sanborn
fired a gun after them to hasten their
retreat The whistle is still on the

In the old village Of Kaskaskia in 1873.
and for eighty-seven consecutive years
has made her home In this state. In
the early days her father kept a tavern
In Waterloo and there she met many
prominent men In the early history OF
the state. She was we'll acquainted
with Governor Ford, and when La
fayette toured the country she handed
him a glass Of buttermilk of her own
churning. Another claim to distinc-
ton is that she is distantly related by
marriage to "Old Anse," the former
baseball celebrity.
Mrs. Arson remembers that when
she was girl there was constant dan
ger of violence at the hands of the
Indians. One favorite plan on the
part Of the savages was to cover them.
