This a Proud Record.

The Democratic party has a

make criticisms of them. Here
they are:
100000 added TO the pension

100000 as an additional amount
for educational purposes.

SLABS STEPFATHER.
Robert Rich Under Arrest for Alleged
Murderous Assault.

Lloyd King, cClored. forty-two yeers
of age, is a patient at the Emergency
Hospital with two stab wounds in his
left side, while his stepson, Robert
Rich, nineteen years old. is under ar
rest on a charge of inhictlng the
wounds. The affair happened at
Kings home in Pleasant alley near
the corner of 3rd and F streets south
west about midnight Saturday.
Rich was arrested few minutes af-
ter the trouble by Precinct Detect We
Kemp and Sergeant Montg gomery The
officers were told that King was about
to attacS his wife, when the son inter
fered, and then King attempted to put
Robert ou. of the house, and during a
scuffle that followed Rich pulled pen
knife from his pocket and STABBED his
stepfather.
At the hospital this morning it was
said that while Kings conuitIon is ser
ious he will probably recover.
A charge of assault was preferred
against Rich at the Police Court Mon
day n ornIng and the case was con-
timed until King is able to leave the
hospital.

for young rich.

THE FLOWER GARDEN.

Don't osowd your plants in placing.
A few good plants give more real
beauty and satisfaction than many
yoor ones, and symmetry is impossible
without proper room. The crowded
box or bed rarely looks well after the
first few weeks.
Different varieties of the cactus are
worth trying. Some will live easily
and will bear an abundance of bloom.
A blooming cactus is delightful, espe-
cially of the kind that bears large,
crimson blossoms at the end Of its
graceful serrated leaves. Experiment
with small plants at first.
Chrysanthemums require a great
deal of water and a rich soil. They are
most satisfactory to grow under these
conditions. bearing large flowers OF
whatever kind and color fancied. But a
poor chrysanthemum, like sick CT
blighted human beauty, cannot fail to
sadden the observers heart.
There is always something to doin a
garden. Dead leaves must be picked OF
if everything else is in good order.
Every dead leaf allowed 20 hang weak
ems the plant somewhat and shortens
IT'S season of bloom. So, too, with

has fought against adverse circum-

PEELED success.
He did not have time to go
through college, but, having obtained
a common school education, - took
up the study of law and was admit
ted to the bar at the age of 25. He
has a natural love for politics and
entered public life as a member OF
the Maine legislature and was
chosen speaker of the house while
serving his second term in that body,
AS attorney general of Maine for
four years. from 1859 to 1893, Mr..
I.ittlefeld achieved bis first national
reputation by fighting railroad cor
porations that are so powerful in
| his state. Il was then that he devel-
oped taste for "oetupus hunting"
/ that is now making him a national
figure. He compelled payments from
/ the railroads of large sums in the
way of taxes that had been refused
| for years.
Mr.. Littlefeld's record in congress
/ shows that he is not an indiscrim-
/ mate fighter Of trusts and does mott
! follow the Irish maxim Of when you
see a head, hit it," with regard to-
/ these combinations. The second set
speech he made in the house of rep-l
resentatives was on this very sub,
iect of the restraint of combinations,
and at that time he advocated an
amendment TO the constitution which
would confer greater power on con;

Party Discipline.

Straight as the pine, knOtty az
the spruce. wholesome as the bali
sam and clean as the birch" This is
a description by one of his admiring
constituents way down in Maine"
of Congressman Charles Z. Little
field, who has swung into prominence
through the announcement that he is
to enter the legislative lists as admin
istration champion in the contest with
the trusts.
This hunter and challenger of the
'octupus," as Jerry Simpson and the
latter's old associates were won't to
term combinations of capital, is a
characteristic product of the Pine
Tree state. He has helped to keep
his native state prominent in the
public mind, as have others of her
celebrated sons, like Blaine and
Dingley and Frye and Milliken and
Boutelle and a goodly company OF
dead and gone statesmen. He has
done it in his own way, without the
fault of imitation and by presenting
new phrases Of the rugged New Eng
land character Those who know
him well would hesitate to call him
demagogue, although some Of his
performances have been almost as
bizarre as those of men in congress
and other public positions who are
usually thought of as belonging to
that class.
Mr.. Littlefeld, says the Chicago
Daily News, stands six feet and over
in his stocking feet. He carries no
| superfluous flesh, like his friend, ex-
Speaker Reed, and is as quick and
supple as a forest guide or a down.
east sailor man. He has been in con-
gress only three years, yet his fig
ure is as familiar and he is as much
of a public celebrity as many men
who have sat in the house for a
decade. The fact that he succeeded
the late Nelson Dingley, author OF
| the present tariff law, gave Mr.. Lit
tlefeld a prominence from the first
day he assumed his congressional du-
! ties.
Congressman Littlefield is just 81

half-century of existence. He is a.
