In Congress-.

On Tuesday the Senate devoted
itself to the consideration of the
bill for the protection of the Presi-
dent. Senator Bacon of Georgia,
defending his amendment making
the provisions of the bill applicable
only to those persons who might
assault the President, or his posi-
BILE successors, because of their
position, severely arraigned the
growing tendency of the republi-
cans to legislate on lines similar to
those of monarchical countries and
condemned the quotation of Great
Britain on every hand. The bill
is expected to pass today. 1t will
be followed by the anti-oleomar-
garine bill and that, in turn, by
the Chinese exclusion bill. The
program of the republican steering
committee is to pass the bill repeal
ing the war taxes with minimum
of debate, take up the eight re-
naming appropriation bills and
adjourn early in June, avoiding,
in as far as possible, all further
discussion of those questions on

which the democrats hold opposite
views from themselves as they
realize that the debates which
would follow their consideration
would be productive of telling
effect in the coming election. l
am told that even the Philippine
government bill will be permitted
to go over to the short session, as
the republican leaders believe that
further discussion of the Philip
pine question before the election
will be productive of injury to the
party. 'Keep the people in the
dark as far as possible" will be
the motto for the rest of the
session.

Surprised Their Pastor.

The members of Taylorsville
class, Hillsboro Mission, remem-
bered their Pastor Rev. Hughes in
very pleasant and substantial
way on Thursday of last week.
About fourteen in number of them
drove up to his home in Hillsboro,
and after taking complete charge
Of the parsonage, they proceeded
to surprise the Pastor and his wife,
which they did by turning over to
them a donation amounting to
$81. .93, $50.50 of which was cash.

Now for Paved Streets.

II is certainly good for sore
eyes to see the stalwart names of
the Main street property owners
on petition consenting to pave
two-thirds of Main Street if the
City will pave one-third. The re-
quired number Of frontage to as
sent by their names, is about 1900
feet. About 2800 have been Sc
cured and the balance is promised
and will be secured in few days.
The matter will come up before
the Council next Tuesday night
and the work start at once.
Hurrah for Logan. 1t is time we
were waking up. With Main
street paved this summer, it if
only a matter of few years when
property owners on all the princi-
pie streets will petition for paving
and then our town will begin to
amount to something. The stand
ard of measurement Of town as
to whether it amounts to anything,
is paved streets. If you visit a
town and your friends ask you on
return what kind of a town it is
you will say, "Well it's good
town; it has paved streets and a
water system" The paving OF
Main street il now 60, and the
property owners who have signed
the petition should receive the
good will and support of our peo-
pie, and they will receive 1t.

Judas John and Ills skunks.

We give our Republican friends
credit for being quiet in showing
their sore toes, and since their
central committee meeting we
knew that there was most out
rageous trick played on the Keynes
crowd by John White, but we
could get onto nothing. A day
last week it happened that we
wandered into store and while
being waited on we overheard two
old fellows discussing affairs in no
unmistakable terms. We were in
terested and will admit that we
made a few extra purchases to
tarry longer.
Their conversation run some
thing like this. 1t seemed that,
as we predicted some time ago,
John White was up against the
/ real thing this spring and saw nc
way out to save himself and still
control the committees and delega
tions, but to make friends with th'
Keynes crowd. At this instance
he conceived the idea to invite Mr.
KEYNES and wife to be entertained
at the Boys Industrial School
They went, and as the old fellow
had it in their store conversation
John laid the whole matter befor
Keynes. Col. Sands and Purse
were to be dumped completely an
to get on nothing, and Keynes wa
to name the congressional delegs
tion and be it's chairman. Whit
must be in control of the stat
delegation to hold himself soil
with Governor Nash, and thereb
continue his pull to retain his jo
as Trustee of the Boys Industri'
= School.
The matter was agreed upo
and Keynes was to keep his hant

several committeeman and told
them to stay with John White on
every proposition. That he was
alright. Col. Sands and Pursell /
were left out entirely.
The Central Committee meeting
came on. DIR. Blosser as usual
could not be present and John
White held his proxy and assumed
craftsmanship Of the meeting. He
was in control with all the Keynes
members Of the committee instruct
ed to stay with him on every pro-
position. White, as chairman,
had a committee submit a slate,
and although it astonished many
of the Central Committeemen when
it was read, they were instructed
to stay with White in whatever he
did and the slate was unanimously
adopted, but 10! and behold, it
was not the list agreed upon with
Keynes but "a positive opposite
substitute, with Col. Sands on
Executive Committee and every
delegation. He had simply play
ed the Judas with Keynes and
trampled his honor as a man and
his word under foot. One Com.
mitteeman, Bob Tucker, got il
through his head after so long 8
time, that there was complete

Max.

Our lttle village is stlll awe,
and everything is progressive.
The farmers are now looking for
ward to the spring farm work with
the usual zeal and energy. We
would advise our fellow farmers
not to be too hasty, for March is
very uncertain, and while there
may be fine weather, there is also
sure to be some that will be very
foul.
The season for maple syrup is
still open, and If it continues to be
winter all summer, it will stay
open for a length of time indefinite.
S. N. Focht, our grocerman, is
doing large business, and his
store room is crowded to its utmost
capacity on most all days of the
week.
The last musical recital of the
Max String Band was held at Mr..

favored with large audience and

Barnes has recovered his eyesight

luncheon and cider which was
served, helped, and was indeed an
inspiration to all. Some of the
Max people who attended were

Miss Grace Verify tIas An Exciting
Experience With a Burglar.

Miss Grace Verify, we'll known 10

ing experience with burglar who in
yaded the sacred precincts OF Hardin
college Monday morning and departed
with several Of the young ladies' bon

One OF the FIRST rooms the burglar
entered was occupied by Miss Louise
Lakeland, OF Mexico, NO., and Miss
Verify. Miss Lakeland was awake
when he entered, and in reply to her
startled Inquiry as 10 what he wanted,
the burglar asked her where she kept
her pocketbook and rings She di-
rected him TO the dresser for the pOck
etbook and cColy Informed him that
her lnly ring was on her finger. After
examining the ring, be decided that

ORDER
Will Be Issued Regulating
Sale of AIIotments of De-
ceased Indians in the
Territory,

The recent order Of the Seore.
tary Of the Interior relative to the
sale Of allotments OF deceased In
dians will probably not be applied
to the Indian Territory. A. L
Ayleeworth, secretary ofthe Dawes
commission, who is thoroughly
conversant with all rulings of the
department, has given this as his
opinion.
Mr.. Aylesworth says that the
department asked the commission
for some data and recommends
tions on this matter, and that it is
now receiving the attention OF the
com mission, and he is Of the opin.
ion that the secretary will not
make a ruling until he receives
the report of the commission. This
is under the theory that Indian
Territory lands come under special
act, as has been held in most cases.
