charge of the Danish treaty" The
Danish treaty is described by the
Springfield Register as a contract. ar
rangement. or Whatever il may be
called. in which the Danish govern
ment for the consideration of so
many millions of dollars. agrees to
convey 10 the United States three
little inconsequential islands in the
caribbean sea, and their unwilling
inhabitants 10 be subjects of the
imperial government" 1t is an
nounced from Washington that even
If the senate accepts the treaty the
tug of war will come i'm the house
which will have 10 vote the appropri-
alton of the millions of dollars be-
fore the treaty" can go into effect.
The dispatches say that whenever
the house is asked TO vote money for
such purpose its leaders insist on
knowing all about the deal but that
the senate and president are not dis
posed To crafty them. And why not =?
Why should not the house and every
citizen i'm the broad land know ''all
about the deal?" The president and
senate are only servants of the peo-
| PIE. not their lndSIeTS. senator Nul-
tlom has no more right to know about

BY Withholding from the house and

virtually confessing that there are
things in connection with IL that the

The Morals of Animals.


Il may be questioned whether AMI
mails have any conception of morals
as we understand the term, but in Il
general sense it would certainly seem
that they have. In the social sense
there is no doubt as to the answer. To
take n we'll known instance, the ant
family have evolved most cOmplicat-
ed social system which apparently
works TO perfection, and that is more
than can be said for any human sys-
tenn. In order, cleanliness, care of of
spring. provision for future wants and
military discipline no civilized society
can compare with theirs. They are
Shareholders, it is true. but they treat
their slaves with every kindness and
consideration, and the warrior ants de-
fend them in time of danger.
Another excellent example is fur
nished by the beaver. During summer
it leads n solitary life,s but at the ap-
prOach of winter communities are
formed, building operations commence,
stores are laid up as soonas the dwell
ings are completed, and every individual
of the community recognizes clearly
that the interests of the family and
the colony come first. In their family
life they, in common with many other
animals, offer an example which might
well be copied not only by savages, but
also by civilized communities.

The attorney general of Indiana
says that state has the best tax law
in the union. and that taxable prop
erty there is more generally reached
than in any other state. Although
Illinois has 80 per cent more miles of
railroad than Indiana has. he says.
yet the total assessment on railroads
in Indiana is nearly twice what il il
in Illinois; and though the wealth of
Illinois * vastly greater than the ag-
gregate wealth of Indiana. the total
assessed valuation in Indiana isabout

Grandma,s Cure For Dandrun.

1--WE often scott at the ancient grand
mother remedies" said a physician the
other day in conversation with a pa
tient,- "but our forefathers used to get
n power of comfort from them never
theless, and cheaply too. Science has
progressed wonderfully, of course, and
we are much better off on the whole
now than were our sires, but we forget
a great many of the little things. Now,
1 notice that you are troubled with
dandruff, and I'll wager that you have
spent many dollars on different alleged
cures, and you are worse off now than
when you commenced. Let me give
you a grandmother prescription that
never fails. Go to n drug store and
buy cents worth of salts of tartar.
Dissolve half of it in warm water and
wash the head thoroughly. Repeat
this at intervals of three months for
year, and you won't be annoyed with
dandrun any more"

Mail Pouch Robbed

Sunday morning, while Joe Gutter
was sweeping the floor of box car
near the Great Northern depot to
procure wheat for his fowls, he found
riff1ed leather mail pouch lying in
one corner covered up with a grain
door. The letters which it contained
had all been torn open by some one
evidently i'll search of plumber. Mr..
Gutter left the mail sack where he
found it, and reported his find to the
Great Northern Agent, who notified
the authorities at Washington at once.
The officials have been here this
week probing the matter, but as yet
no discoveries have been made.
The pouch was one that was
brought up by the west bound train
and eft on the depot platform, to be
carried back by the east bound train
for distribution Evidently the
thieves were rather young at the bust
ness or they would not have ia en-
such desperate chances with only the
booty of common mail sack in sight,
and Uncle Sans property at that.
While 1t is not considered the work
of local talent, the officials will make
a thorough Investigation, and are not
going to drop the matter until the
proper persons are rounded up,
wherever they are.

and the principal business places
Windows were draped in the national
colors and the streets were lined with
flags. The stores were all closed
during the exercises in order that the
business men as we'll as their en-.
ployes might attend. Even the
school children turned out in body
to take part in the exercises.
At ten o'clock in the forenoon the
members of Overton post, G.. A. r.,
assembled at the armory, and, es-
corted by the Indian school band
proceeded to the cemetery where the
usual exercises took place and the
graves Of their departed comrades
we're strewn with floral offerings.
At twelve O'Clock the mess call
sounded and the ladies Of the EIiz-
abeth Reem Circle served dinner to
members of the G.. A. r. and their
friends.
At two o'clock line Of march was
formed by D. E. Pearce as officer of
the day, consisting of the Indian
school band, Morris kid band, pupils
of the Indian school, pupils of the
lower grades of the public schools,
K. of P. lodge, NJ. W. A. lodge, CO..
U. W. lodge, and paraded through
the principal streets of the city, with
members of the G.. A. r. and their
families in carriages bringing up the
rear. It was inspiring indeed, to see
the children, especially, turn out in
such large numbers to commemorate
the day and pay homage to the old
soldiers. It was by far the largest
memorial day parade ever witnesst d
in Morris
An excellent program had been
arranged, and Immediately after the
parade the crowd assembled at the
armory. The building was not large
enough to accommodate more than one
third OF those who came to hear the
addresses. However, those present
listened to very interesting program
which in brief was as follows.
Reading Pres. Lincoln. Robert Co1yer
Music. .........................M Morris Band
sclamation. Lawrence Danie1son
MuS1c,......... ..................... Ouartette
Address. Hon NJ. J. Downing
Music. Double Quartette
Every number was received with
enthusiasm, and especially the adj
dress by Hon. NJ. !. Bowling. He
compared the work of the G.. A. R..
to the armies of today, and the hard
ships of tho armies of the ''sixties"
compared with the many provisions
made for the soldiers of today. He
impressed upon his audience the
fact that the ranks are rapidly thin
ming out, and that it behooVes US as
a people to Tighten in every possible
way the burdens of their declining
years. ......
Another Decoration Day has come

Outing.
A party, consisting of Robert Della
hunt, Tuck Delahunt, Fred Stinson
Bert Betters, Oscar Barsness, W. P,
Fowler, D. S. Long, Max Trantow
and Chas: Arnold, left Morris early
Sunday morning for lake Minnewas-
ka, in the vicinity of Starbuck. All
the necessities of successful days
outing had been fully provided, in
Guiding refreshments, tackle, bait,and
good luck, and five o'clock found
them off in q bunch.
Arriving at the metropolis of Lake
Minnewaska at $50, they found
Editor Lindsey of the Times waiting
to show them every courtesy. Boats
had been provided by the genial
editor, and they were off from Longs
Point bright and early. The fish
positively refused to bite, however,
and the boys blamed it to the wind :.
Of course that will do very we'll, but
we are of the opinion that the fish
saw them coming. Anyhow they
were very unsuccessful, and securing
the services of a gas launch, they
placed their row boats in tow, and
"gassed" up the lake six miles where
they were not so we'll acquainted.
Here they had splendid success, and
pulled in some three hundred fish in
GLIDING bull heads, minnows and
surgeons.
At 10 o'clock Bob Delahunt began
to complain about begin hungry, and
80 did Jim Ormond, and they pulled
in. After partaking of bountiful
dinner of fish and other necessary
refreshments, prepared by the skill
full hands of Fred Stinson aud Tuck
Delahunt, they started back for Star
buck. After clearing the woods a
strong wind was encountered, and
for a time it was feared that the boats
would capsize. Then they began to
think of the sins they had committed,
and Dave Long was heard to exclaim
''For Gods sake boys, sit still or we
will all drown" The marks of Bert
Better's finger nails are still to be
found on the sides of the boat, and
they say he never released his hold
until they we're safely landed. Oscar
Barsness was very composed in one
end of the boat, while Chas. Arnold's
thoughts reverted to his boyhood
days. The prayers of Max Trantow
and w. P. Fowler landed the party
safely in Starbuck, and thus they be-
come the moulders of the future des-
tiny of this illustrious city as result
of the lives they saved.
The party returned co Morris Mon
day morning, but our mess of fish
went overheard during the storm on
lake Minnewaska.
All express their gratitude toward
Bert Lindsey for his hospitality, and
if ever the editor comes to Morris the
best in the land will De. none to good
for him.
