When the House is in sess on the 'goose"
is planted on top of a ma ole pedestal at
the right of the Speakers desk. AS
soon as the House adjourus or is resolv-
ed into committee of the whole" the
Mace comes down from the pedestal.
The most terrifying office of the goose
however, is that of preserving order. At
ter the Speaker has exhausted his good
right arm in rapping with his4ivory gayel
for silence, after he has yelled his larynX
raw, calling for "order!'' he orders the
sergeant-at-arms to bring forth the awe
inspiring emblem Of authority. The SER
geant, generally pretty badly scared him
self, grabs the goose by the throat and
bears down upon the offending member.
BY the time he reaches the obstreperous
Congressman's seat, that rp-roaring
statesman, who but moment before was
filling the atmosphere with birthstone,
slides into his chair and becomes meeker
than a lamb.
Exactly what would happen to the
member who defed the goose is not def
nitely known. 1t is the general belief
that he would be blasted by Jones light
wings. Jerry Simpson, the sockless of
Kansas, who was the last to invoke the
Mace, came nearer destruction than any
otht; member in history.
Take that buzzard away" he cried as
the sergeant-at-arms advanced with the
goose" before him.
But Jerry wilted before the sergeant
reached him.
by the authority vested in me by the
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, you are now under arrestw is
what the sergeant-at would say if
the offending member continued in his
defiance. Then, it is said, the disturber
could be summarily fired" from the

that any piece of steel plate can be rem

The Haschke apparatus is simple. A
carbon of electrede is attached to a wood

this clamp a wire is fastened, the other

operated upon. If a safe, the second

the fancy of the operator dictates. The

REPORT ON CUBAN TRADE.

Figures Show Decrease in I'm ports and
Increase in Exports.
A comparative statement issued by Col.
Edwards, chief Of the division of insular
affairs, shows the commerce of Cuba for
the calendar years of 1901 and 1900. The
total value of merchandise imported dur
ing the year 1901 was $6S,583,973,
against $66, 65S, $50 for 1900, and the ex
ports of merchandise during the year end
ed Dec. 81, 1901, amounted to S63,278,-
$50, against $48, 9O4, GAS for 1900. These
figures show very slight decrease in the
imports aad an increase of % per cent
in the exports.
The value of merchandise coming from
the United States for the calendar year
1901 was 2s,O7S, 633, a decrease Of ST.
OCT ,3S9 as compared with 1900, while
the exports for 1901 amounted to $48,-
O66, 579, an increase of SD, S19, $40. 1t
is shown that the export of Cuban SUI
gar to the United States amounted in
1901 to $3O814, 1856; in 1900 to SIG, 7G3,-
S52 and in 1899 to $685., 001.

HIGHER PRICES FOR FOOD.
Fresh Meats of All Kind, Poultry and
Buffer Score Advances.

Higher prices for various foods, par
ticularly fresh meats and butter, which
are regarded in this fourishing country
as necessaries of life, although looked
upon as Injuries in some others, have
not only come but they are here to stay.
Moreover, according to expectations of
men in the trade, they are likely to 90
higher still in the very near future.
1t is not only beef that has advanced
almost sensationally in price within a
few weeks. Lamb and mutton have gone
up, as have hog products, and so also
have poultry and butter. Lard has been
advanced l to 3 cents a pound within
few months, and it has become known
that there has been formed some sort OF
a working agreement between the great
producers, who have held meetings IN
western cities to come to understandings
as to the conduct of their business profit
ably in view of the gradually advancing
prices all along the line from hog to lard.
The rise in the price of butter is SAID
to be chiefly speculative, not as turning
upon any attempt to corner the market,
but owing to a belief among the dairy
men that Congress will pass the proposed
law prohibiting the manufacture of cleo
margarine.
The advance in the price of poultry is
a sympathetic one, consequent upon the
high beef market The price of beef III
the carcass, as the butcher buys it. is
now about 3 cents a pound higher than
six months ago.

CROP CONDITIONS ARE BETTER.
General Improvement Observed in
Most States.

The regular weekly crop report of the
weather bureau was compiled before the
sweeping changes of weather throughout
the West and central West were report
ed. 1t says:
The week ending on April 81 was
warmer than the average in the Pacific
coast and Rocky Mountain regions. in
the Missouri valley. and the northern
districts to the eastward; it was too cool
in the middle Atlantic and Southern
States and decidedly dry over the great
err part of the central valleys and mid
die Atlantic States. Rain is badly need
ed throughout the Rocky Mountain dis
tricts and central valleys and would
prove beneficial in the middle Atlantic
States, while excess of moisture has him
dered farm work in portions of the cen
trail Gulf States
The latter part of the week was mark
ed by abnormally high temperatures i'll
Kansas and Nebraska. intenSifying the
drought conditions in those States. The
general weather conditions, although not
conducive to rapid advance of yegeta-
ton, were favorable for farming opera
tons in nearly all parts of the country.
The progress of corn planting has been
rather slow, except in Missouri and the
Southern States, this work being about
finished in the central and the west gulf
districts. A large acreage of ground is
prepared for planting in the States Of
the central valleys, and some planting
has been done in southern Illinois, but
none elsewhere northward of the Ohio.
The early planted is coming up in south
ern Kansas, where cultivation has be-
gun.
Winter wheat has continued to make
slow growth, and on the whole is in less
promising condition in the principal Win
ter wheat States of the central valley
than at the close of the previous week.
Moisture and milder temperatures are
generally needed for this crop throughout
these districts and also in the middle At
lantic States, The outlook in California
continues promising and the crop has eX-
cific coast
The termination of early sown spring
wheat over the southern portion Of the
spring wheat region has been slow. and
seeding has been retarded by freezing in
North Dakota The Red River valley
lands in Minnesota are drying nicely and
seeding began on the 10Th. Some re-
seeding will be necessary in Minnesota as
result of the dust storm of April 10
and II. Seeding has progressed faVora-

Recently Mr.. Haschke cut in two an
unwieldy boiler basin to be removed from
Milwaukee building. He wore two
pairs of colored spectacles, with. black
cloth between, but the current caused
when the carbon point was burning the
steel was almost uncomfortable.
The great boiler plate was sliced into
two parts with no trouble. The carbon
point cut the metal at the rate of a foot
in five minutes. Spectators who watched
the work at a distance were almost blind

PAuPERs FOR UNITED STATES.
Thousands Are Being Struggled Across
Canadian Frontier.

United States immigration officials are
experiencing a great deal of trouble at
the hands of INSCRIPTIONS European emf
grafton agents who are sending paupers
to Canada promising them that they can
cross the frontier when they get there
and enter the United States. The Greek
consul at Antwerp recently dispatched
$50 Greek paupers to America. The
steamship line refused to transport them
to New York, but it is believed they have
entered this country by way Of Canada.
The agents are tricky in evading the
laws. 1t is reported that thousands Of
these paupers have entered the United
States by way of the frontier.

WEST HAS A HOT WAVE.
Midsummer Weather in Kansas, Ne
braska and Oklahoma.


In Omaha Sunday was the hottest
April day in fifteen years. The Their
mometer at p. m. reached % degrees,
the highest previous record being 81 de-
grees. Two persons were overcome by
heat in one church during the day, and
many cases of illness caused by heat are
reported A dispatch from Falls City
says the mercury reached 100 degrees in
the shade at that place, and that wheat
is suffering from lack of moisture. 9th
er points in southern Nebraska report
record breaking temperature for April.
Vegetation in eastern Nebraska is suffer
ing for rain, and damage to winter wheat
is reported.
A Y, hot wind from the south has
been sweeping over Kansas, doing much
damage to vegetation of all kinds. Those
interested say the wind has done meal
culable harm to the wheat. The ground
is becoming dry and hard. This is an
unusual condition for an early spring
month in Kansas. The highest tempera-
ture Sunday in Kansas City was 81 de-
grees.
Moisture is lacking over the largest
part of the winter wheat territory" says
the Modern Miller. 'The only rains of
consequence during the week have been
in the Southwest. Repuorts of damage
and deterioration in the condition of the
plant are increasing. The general con-
Illion of the crop is less favorable. The
increase in the acreage should, however,
offset the loss by damage up to the pres
ent time. Insect life has appeared, but
no damage indicated therefrom as yet.
There is little winter wheat moving"
Kansas wheat seems to be suffering
most for rain. In many of the best coun-
ties the plant is reported to be 80 per
cent under last year. From 10 to 30 per
cent has been plowed up for corn and
unless rain falls soon it is said the re-
mainder will soon be worthless.
The hot wave struck st. Joseph, Mo-,
Monday, and at o'clock the thermome-
ter stood at rs degrees. Two hours later
it had crawled up to 50. Intermittent
storms Of dust accompanied the heat.
