Majority Of AZ, and No Thanks to
the Management Of the Com
mittee on Agriculture.
Status Of Affairs Evokes Some De-
cidedly Caustic Remarks From
Mr.. McCleary.

CURED the most careful management Of th0sd
who had the bill in charge to prevent our
forces from going to pieces.
The friends of the measure feel under great
obligations to Mr.. HTawney for his able and
unselfish support throughout Mr.. Henry,
author of the bill, has acknowledged the value
of these services by thanking him for his adj
vice and close personal assistance which he
gave during the trying hours of debate. It
was vicious fight. Every man of the oppo-
sition against Mr.. Henry was on the floor,
and it required cool heads to hold our forces
together upon all the amendments necessary
ITO perfect the BILL
The process butter amendment was opposed
only because our friends feared it would en-
barrass US. In the senate committee be-
lieve it will prove just the opposite-make the
measure stronger-and do not fear any en-
barrassment The bill as it is now places
the dairymen before the country in consist
ent light-of not protecting fraud that has
it's origin in the dairy. I don't believe there
is a process man in the country who viii
oppose this amendment while all the dairy
men and creamery men will favor it.
Anti-McCleary Move.
It is said that 10000 copies of the Con-
gressional Record containing yesterdays
proceedings are to be sent to every dairy
man and creamery man and dairy farmer
in Minnesota The purpose is to show
that Representative McCleary did not
haveany large share in the work, yester-
day, of whipping the oleo bill into shape
for final passage. 1t is suspected that
certain officers of the National Dairy as
ISOLATION are back of this move, although
none of them will acknowledge the corn.
Representative Tawney has nothing to do
with it, although it is an outcropping Of
the fight between Tawney and McCleary
over Oleo.

FOR PANAMA ROUTE
Member of the Canal Commission
Makes an Argument.

Washington, Feb. 12.-George S. MORT
son, an engineer member of the Isthmian
Canal commission, testified before the
senate committee to-day, expressing a
preference for the Panama route. He said
that according to him opinion the dam at
Bohio on the Panama line, could be con-
structed for much more reasonable sum
than had been estimated and he also
thought the construction Of dam there
entirely practicable. He did not believe
double chambers In the locks would be
necessary and he thought the control of
the Chagres river entirely practicable.
Mr. Morrison spoke of the plan for a
canal through tunnel as proposed in the
San Bias Darien) route as chimerical. He
thought it impracticable to tow ships
through such tunnel by means of an

LONG TIME ON THE WAY.
Letter Mailed to Des Moines Firm
from Winterset Lies in a Crack
for Thirteen Years.

In July, 1889, lady at Winterset
mailed letter to Younker Bros, of
Des Moines, inclosing stamps and an
order for certain goods to be shipped.
The letter was received by Younller
Bros. the other day and the order was
promptly filed. 1t is not often that
it takes a letter nearly IS years to
travel from Winterset to Des Moines,
and in this case it was the fault of the
fates and not of the postmasters and
their assistants. On the day that the
lady mailed the letter at Winterset the
post Office was in course of remodeling,
the fixtures having been sold to the
post Office at Altoona and were being
removed from the Office. The other
day the postmaster at Altoona was
overhauling the fixtures that had been
in use in his Office for several years
and discovered the letter in crack,
where it had lain for the 10 years inter-
vening. TWAS promptly dispatched to
Younker Bros, and they received it and
Immediately filled the order, and the
lady who wrote the letter was prob
ably astounded to receive the material
which she ordered so many years ago.

GAVE UP HIS WIFE.
Man Who Ii Candidate for
County Attorney,

The romance in the life of A. T..
Steele, of Des Moines, republican can
didate for county attorney, has just
been revealed. Steele is living in a
coy little cottage with his charming
young wife, who secured a divorce
from her former husband, Frank G..
Lockwood, to marry Steele.
Steele was struggling young at
torney when Lockwood, a wealthy
business man, employed him as coun-
sci and started him on the road to
success. They became fast friends
and warm attachment sprang up
between the young attorney and the
young wife of the attorneys client.
They were both Mortified when they
passion they had drifted. After weeks
of hesitation they decided to confess
to Lockwood.
Locl1wood's anguish of mind was
great, but he betrayed no anger to-
ward the wife and friend. He
thanked them for their honesty of
purpose and retired to his room to
think out alone the tragic problem
presented to him.
When he emerged days after, he
called Steele to his home and in the
presence of Mrs. Lockwood told
Steele he would resign his wife and
permit her to secure a divorce in
order that she might marry Steele
and be happy, but on one condition.
That condition was that he, Lock
wood, should be allowed to live I'M
der the same roof with his then wife
as long as he might desire. The
agreement was made and has been
faithfully kept.

WOMEN ARE VICTIMS.
Out of Nearly One Thousand
Dollars in Ottumva.

An alleged palmist, who gave the
name Of Victor Ross, victimized sew
eral women in Ottumwa out of near
ly $1,000 in money. The story came
out when one of them appeared at
the police station and complained.
The scheme which was worked on the
women was for them to secure a
package of money and pin it to their
corsage and leave it there for a GER
tain length of time, when it would
reveal to them untold wealth. The
time for the finding of the riches was
set, and six of his dupes made their
appearance. They have all refused to
prosecute. It is believed Ross went
to Chicago from here.
