bill was forced over to the last ses-
sion. to be passed in both Houses
OF congress. As result the com
mlttees on conference did not agree
until within few hours of the expir-
alton OF the session by limitation of
law This was taken advantage Of
and the irrigation bill was forced
through in its stead.
The fact that it was defeated last
year had the good effect of having the
bill come up for consideration in the
long session, where it belongs.
L predict the passage of the meas
ure, not only on its merits, but be-
cause anyone opposed to it will have
to have a pair of ironclad lungs to
talk 1t to death at this session.

HOUSE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
A DESERVING MEASURE.



/ do not think that a better river
and harbor bill than the one now
before the Senate has ever been
drafted in the House of Representa-
tives. The wants and necessities in
all parts of the country have been
taken into consideration in its con-
struction.
On account of the measure being
defeated last year we were unable TO
give relief to every deserving pro-
ject. The bill last year was not de-
feated on its merits, but simply be-
y<sE:sse two things concurred against
it. s.g

ANOTHER BODY FOUND.
Intense Feeling Against Beaumont,
Tex, Gang Of Murderers.

Beaumont, Tex, March 16.-Another
dead body was found in the Neches
river, Saturday, making six since the
first of the year. The body has been
identified as that of V. r. Mackamara,
a painter and paper hanger who came
from Shreveport. Coroner Brown says
that the evidence is pain that he was
murdered.
The officers declare their conviction
that he is the sixth victim of the MAT
tie Bennett gang of robbers and mur-
derers. beaumont citizens are express
ing angry threats. The fact that an
other arrest, that of Joe Hood, one of
the white men implicated by Matte"
Benefits confession, was made, Fri
day night, and the prisoner was lodged
effect, however, for confidence in the
officers ability to round up the whole
gang is felt.
\ thousand people saw the body
taken from the water. There is talk of
exploding dynamite in the Neches river
to bring to the surface any other bodies
that may be there. The arrest of Hood
is regarded by Sheriff Landrey as an
important one. "Mattie'' Bennett
charged him with being one of her
gang. He admits knowing the woman,

FORCED TO ENROLL.
Last of the Troublesome Cherokees
Submit to Order.

Muskogee, l. T., March 16.-Rather
than submit to an hair cut eight full
bloOded Cherokee Indians, arrested,
yesterday, charged with being in con-
tempt of the federal court, We're, today,
enrolled before the Dawes commission.
These Indians are members of the Ke-
toowah Society composed of an element
in the Cherokee nation opposed to en-
rollment.
Last month, Judge Raymond of the
United States territorial court, order
ed them to present themselves for en-
rollment under penalty of contempt.
They disobeyed the order and We're ar
rested and placed in the federal Jail
here.
Last night the government officials
pleaded with them to submit but they
declined stoutly. Red Bird, their lead
er, made an impassioned speech in de-
fense of their action.
Argument being of no avail an order
was issued, today, that each prisoner
should have his hair cut. They were
lined up to take their turn in the bar
ber's chair. When the first Indian had
lost his shock of hair, the others broke
down and signified their willingness to
enroll. With sullen faces they signed
their names to the enrolment and
were released.

Boston, March 16.-With the return
to work of the freight handlers, freight
clerks and longshoremen in the en-
ploy of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad, the Boston & AL
bany Road and the Boston & Maine
Road, tomorrow morning, the great
Boston strike will have become a mat
ter of history.
Yesterday afternoon, the employees of
the New Haven Road who were still
out on strike voted to go back to work
The Boston e. Albany men did the same
thing, and the Boston & Maine strikers
will also return, or as many of them as
there is room for.
According to Martin ]. Ryan, presi-
dent of the Longshoremen's Union,
practically all of the longshoremen who
went out on strike are back at work
The officials of the Metropolitan Line

ing with the governor to settle the
strike, and the result was that the COM
pany agreed to take the men back as
fast as it was possible to do so.
The men of the Clyde Line who went
on strike have not all been taken back.
The other steamship lines, however.
have received practically all their own
men in their old positions.
Ralph M. Easley, secretary of the
National Civic Federation, has left
Boston, feeling that the governor will
be able to straighten matters out to the
satisfaction of all concerned. This feel
ing is indorsed by Vice President Dun

State Branch of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, Vice President John F..

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.
Aged Man Brought Into Court by a
Young Woman.

New Bedford, March 16.-William
Sykes, a white-haired man of three
score years, was adjudged probably
guilty in the third district court, Sat-
urday, of felonious assault on Bertha
Morgan, and was bound over to the
grand jury in $500.
The parties involved in the case re-
side in Dartmouth. Sykes is in his Goth
year, gray-haired and bewhiskered
farmer of considerable property. Ber-
tha Morgan is the wife of Asher A.
Morgan, to whom she has been mar
ried little over a year. Mrs. Morgan,
has one child 5 years and another
months old. Before her marriage she
was very friendly with Mr.. Sykes. He
used to take her to this city at her re-
quest, to see Mr.. Morgan at the Jail.
These trips ceased after a combination
of events. One was the fact, as the
defendant stated, that the woman ap-
peared in court two years ago, under
circumstances similar to those Of yes
terday, accusing a man named Rogers.
For two years there was no commu-
nication between Mrs. Morgan and
Sykes until last Wednesday. Then
SyhtS IeCeiNeu u iclteI requesting HIiii
to meet her. She wrote: Il have not
done right by you.' He drove along
the High Hill road, and Mrs. Morgan
met him. According to her story he as
saulted her on the road and on the ap-
proach of two men rushed into the
woods.
Sykes denied this, and declared that
she talked unbecomingly to him. The
two men approached in their wagons,
and he, feeling the situation embar-
RAISING, went into the woods to keep
out of sight
Judge Milliken adjudged him prob
ably guilty. Sykes was able to furnish
bail. There are suggestions made of
blackmail.

feller, his brother. is credited with
about half this amount. His check, ac-
cording to this, was about $3,000,000.

The ubiquitous "mucker," using the
word in the Harvard sense, served to
break up history lecture at Harvard.
Saturday. Some urchins were "scram-
bling cents outside the door of Lower
Massachusetts, when it occurred to
some of the students to tempt them in
side. Inside they came and began
''scrambling for the coppers, which
the students threw from all sides. The
instructor looked on in dumb amaze
ment at first. Then copper whizzing
by the face of the professor aroused
him to a stormy protest, and finally a
dismissal of the class, much to their
joy, and much to the regret of the
'muckers, who enjoyed attending lee
lures conducted in SO remunerative a
fashion.

MISSED THE BOOTY.
Two Burglars at Fall River Gag and
ChIoroform Girl.

Fall River, Mass, March 1.-two
men bound, gagged and then gave
chloroform to Corinne, the daughter of
Nj. b. Slocum, tonight, in order to ST.
lence her while they ransacked the
house. She is not badly hurt, although
suffering from the shock, as she is only
Is years old, and the robbers did not
get anything Of value They were after
a travelling case which contained be-
tween $500 and $4,000 worth of valua-
bles for Mr.. Slocum for New Bedford
jewelry house.
This daring incident occurred at Mr..
Slocum's house. No. So Franklin street,
just after s o'clock tonight. Miss Slo-
cum was sitting in the parlor, at the
window, in the dark. There was a light
in the kitchen at the time. The door
opened and a man came in who said
Mr.. Slocum had sent him from stable
for his jewelry case. The request
seemed an ordinary one, for Mr.. Slo-
cum frequently used horses from the
stable the man mentioned.
The daughter knew that her father
never sent strangers after his case,
and so she said that it was not in the
house, that her father had taken it
with him. The man said she lied and
repeated the request. Miss Slocum
started to run, but she was knocked
down. At that moment another man
came in and between them the girl was
tied, gagged and given a little chloro-
form on handkerchief.
The condition. of the house was that
the men hurriedly but with a great
deal of trouble searched the house over
for the case, even to ripping open the
beds. But they missed it, for the case
was on the top shelf Of a closet. Half
an hour later Miss Slocum's brother
retur ned home, and found his sister
unconscious. He released her, sent for
a doctor and notified the police.

Since the American occupation of
Cuba $500 new schools have been
opened, and many reforms have been
brought about in their educational
system. Some idea of their work can
be obtained from their exhibit at the

they were awarded five gold and four
silver medals. This is certainly won

be proud OF. There is also wonderful
record behind Hostetter's Stomach

ailments we would urge you to try it.

Think They Are Also Entitled to In
crease in Wages.

Lawrence, Mass, March 16.-In view
of the general movement for an ad-
vance in wages which is now being
made in the manufacturing cities of
New England, local labor leaders are
talking of the probability of like ac-
ton being taken in this city. The vic
tory of the Fall River unions and the
bright prospects of the operatives in
Lowell getting an advance, is encour-
aging to local operatives, who feel that
they can also made a successful de-
mand for an increase.
Since the business panic of '93 few
slight raises have been voluntarily
made by the mill people, but the senti-
ment now is that another is due.
