FRIED ONIONS.
Indirectly Caused the Death of the
Worlds Greatest General.

1t is a matter of history that Ma
poleon was Il gormand, an inordinate
lover of the good things of the table,
and history further records that his
favoritc dish was fried onions; his
death from cancer Of the stomach 1t is
claimed also, was probably caused
from his excessive indulgence of this
fondness for the odorous vegetable.

New blood in the senate has been the slogan of the Soliphone. Arkansas en- dorscs the iael. Texas has taken the ad- vance step by the election of Bailey and Culbertson and Tennessee by the election of Carmack. Tennessee will further em- phasizs the idea by electing Bob Taylor to succeed Senator Bate and with Arkansas' contribution to this new blood the New South will assert it's power in national legislation.

ITALIAN ART DISCOVERIES.
Trophies of Long Lost Ancient Art Re
 cently Unearthed.

Mr. Neville Rolfe, the British con- sul at Naples, ill his report on the trade and commerce of south Italy for 1901, says: The discovery of the bronze statue of torch-bearer near Pompeii, though madesome time ago, has not been noticed in former re- ports because the government held back the statue from public exhlbl- tion for several months. It is now exhibited in the Naples national mu- scum and represents youth holding bracket for a lamp. The bracket is in a glass case near the statue. The statue is what is known as boy size, "
 and appears to have been coated with silver, which has in the main per ished. A good deal of discussion has arisen as to its period, but in all prob ability it does not date back further than the first century, B. c. In the disused monastery at Donna Regina, in the heart of Naples, which has now been placed under the control of the municipality on account of the splen- did frescoes found on the walls, num- Der of interesting pictures and works of art have been found which were ap- parently slowed away there about the time of the taking of Naples by Garl- baldi in 1859. All those of historical interest are to be removed to the museum of San Martino, where the Bourbon relics and many interesting specimens of the arts of Neapolitan
 provinces chiefly of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries are exhib- tied. Among the new finds in mod ern pictures are: A picture of the Masaniello riots by Cammarano, and the "Entry of Cardinal Ruffo," by Marinelli. Also very fine portrait of Garibaldi, with a long autograph and the inscription "con @more tillhle.
 There is also a bronze statue of ferdl- nand II. in Roman dress, by Pietrarsa, and plaster cast of Carlo Poero, who, it will be remembered, was visited by the late MT. Gladstone when in the political prisons of Naples in l84S. There are also pictures of local scenes, and places by Giganti and Mancini, of considerable historical value. The complete modernizing of the fine ma rine palace (Palazzo Donn' Anna), which was begun 300 years ago by Donn' Anna Carafa and never fin ished, will cause great regret to the lovers of the many romances belong ing to the bay of Naples The ruin had become the dwelling place of several fishermen and other poor peo- pie, while three restaurants had es- tablished open-air dining places with in it's precincts. At one time the tramway horses were stabled there, but in spite of all its many degrada- tions it still stood magnificent ruin, the delight of artists with the bright waves washing into it's desertedarches, and the spot round which many writers on Naples, and notably Du- mas pere, had hung many of their most thrilling episodes. It has now become the property of a French gen. tleman, who is renovating it thor oughly, and will make it into residen- tial flats Edinburgh Scotsman.

Senator Berry will, we think, voluntari ly retire from the U. $. Senate when h s present term expires. He is old and intirm and can be of little use to his state after four more years of faithful service. If Gov. Davis makes no serious mistakes he will be Senator Berry's logical successor.
The Daily soliphone., 1902-04-09

Gov. Davis cannot be too careful in ex- ercising the pardoning power. His critics are laying for him and whatever mistake he may make will be greatly exaggerated
 Besides the pardoning power is one that should be exercised with great precaution.

In rendering his resignation as vice. pres. ident of the Arkansas State Baptist Con- vention. Gov. Davis expresses the senti- msnts of man whose feelings are crushed and one who is devoted to his church. There is pathos in the wording of his re- signation that touches tender spot.

Public men like the saints above come up to glory through great tribulation, and the quickest and surest way to raise a man from obscurity to prominence is to be- labor and abuse him without mercy.

The ROSEBUD INDIAN RESERVATION
TO BE OPENED FOR settlement.

A great boom has sprung up in Bone
steel, to which point the Northwest
ern Line is building. Last fall there
were fifty settlers there. To-day there
is town of 800. Ninety days from now
there will be 5000. Five real estate
offices have opened, and town lots
are selling at from $500 to $500 each.
The Reservation will probably be
opened by a lottery plan, such as was
made use of in Oklahoma. Fifty thou
sand people are expected to take part
in the drawing for the land.
To enter a homestead of 160 acres
one must be the head of family or
have attained the age of twenty-oue
years; a citizen of the United States
or one who has filed his declaration 20
become such. To establish title to
the land, residence must be maintained
thereon, improving and cultivating the
land continuously for five years.
With the completion of the North
Western Line from Verdigre to the
Reservation boundary at Bonesteel,
there will, without doubt, be tremen-
dous influx of homesteaders as soon as
the Presidents proclamation sets a.
date for the opening. Interest in the
matter in Nebraska is intense.

AHALF MILLION ACRES OF RICH LANDS
TO BE THROWN OPEN.
FINEST GRAZING AND FARMING LANDS.
DIRECT RAILROAD NOW BUILDING.

The new extension now being built
by the North-Wes Line to Bone
steel, S. D., brings to mind the treaty
recently, made with the chiefs of the
warlike Sioux by which part of the
famous Rosebud Reservation is to be
turned over to-the government and
one more of the few choice tracts of
public lands now remaining, be thus
opened to settlement.
The land in question lies between the
Missouri and Niobrara rivers and is
well watered and fertile. Farm lands
near the Reservation are selling at
from $40 to $35 an acre, grazing lands
at from Sc to SIS.
The country is level or slightly roll
ing, consisting of black loan with clay
subsoil, making the very best of farm
ing land. It seems to suffer exception
ally little from drought

THE CROP REPORT.
Weather Bureaus Weekly Summary
of Conditions Prevailing Through
I. out the Country. e.,~ -

=
Washington, June 1.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
l, Although the week averaged somewhat
seooler than usual in portions Of the lake
region and northern New. England where
light frostssqcurred, the temperature con-
ditions were generally favorable in the
'districtss east Of the Rocky mountains, ana
also in the middle and south Pacific coast
regions. The states of the lower Missouri
valley have again. suffered from excessive
rains, which have also interrupted farm
work in the northern portions of Illinois and
Indiana and the southern portions of WIS
consin and Michigan. Rain is now gen
orally needed along the gulf and Atlantic
coasts from Texas to southern New Eng
land, and drought is becoming serious in
the Carolinas and in the central and west
gulf districts
With ample moisture and favorable tenn
peratures corn has made good growth
throughout the central valleys, but is
much in need of cultivation in the states
of the lower Missouri valley and Wiscon-
sin. In the lower Ohio valley and Ten
nessee the crop is well cultivated and in
promising condition, but in the central and
west gulf states is suffering much from
drought.
The warm showery weather of the past
week has been favorable to the develop
ment of rust in winter wheattn portions OF
Missouri and Indiana, and has caused lodg-
ing to some extent in Illinois and Missouri.
With these exceptions a general improve
ment in the condition of the crop is indi-
Gated Harvesting has begun as far north
as North Carolina, Tennessee and the
southern portions of Missouri and Kansas,
but is progressing under difficulties, result
ing from heavy rains, in the last named
state On the Pacific coast the wheat
outlook continues promising, although
grasshoppers are causing some damage IN
the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys.
Spring wheat has made rapid growth and
is in promising condition throughout the
spring wheat region, except on low lands,
where it has suffered from excessive moist
ure.
In the states of Missouri and upper Mis-
slssippi valleys and lake region oats have
made good progress and are in promising
condition, although too rank growth is re-
ported from portions of Hin OILS, Iowa, Min
nesota and Wisconsin. In the upper Ohio
valley, middle and south Atlantic and east
gulf states the crop is inferior
On the whole the fruit outlook continues
unfayorable, the most promising reports
being received from the lake region, the
northern portion of the middle Atlantic
states and New England.
Except in the middle Atlantic states and
ONO valley the grass crop has experienced
decided Improvement.

Kills the Measure.

Washington, June 1.-THE house
on Tuesday defeated the bill to trans
fer certain forest reserves to the ag-
ricultural department and to author
ize the president to establish game
and fish preserves. Its death was ac-
complished by striking out the ell
acting clause. The motion was made
by Mr.. Cannon, and was carried by
100 to 20. He claimed that the bill
would greatly increase the cost Of
administering forest reserves, and
declared that the estimated receipts
of the next fiscal year already were
exceeded by the appropriations up to
the present time by over 100000.

Chicago, June 12,-The strike of the
machinists at the various plants of the

ognition of the union, eight-hour day,
an increase of 1919 cents an hour and
half Saturday holiday. The company
granted the men an eight-hour day,
an increase of II cents an hour, half
Saturday holiday and agreed to recog-

TRADE REVIEW.
Leading Comma rcial Agencies Differ
as to Effect of Labor Controversies
on business Situation

New York, June AR. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: THE di-
minuton in business is apparent from Ia
Dor controversies owing to the prosperous
condition of the agricultural sections and
the bright outlook for this years crops.
Retail distribution of light weight wearing
apparel has felt the stimulus of higher
temperature. Railway earnings in May
were'S.7 per cent larger than last year and
PIT per cent. above those of 1900 There
continues to be wide discrepancy between
the amount of business offered and the
contracts closed in many branches OF the
iron and steel industry owing to Inability
of producers to assure delivery at speci-
fed time. Contracts running well into
next year indicate that the end of activity
is not near. Pressure is still most conspic-
uouS for railway and structural supplies
and agricultural implement works are
crowded with orders. Grain markets have
shown the effect of conflicting crop estl-
mates and weather reports.
Failures for the week numbered 162 in the
United States, against 179 last year, and
20 in Canada, compared with % year ago.
Bradstreet's says: abor troubles cloud
the immediate outlook, but good crop pros
poets fairly well assure future trade. The
effects of the anthracite coal strike are no
longer localized. 1t affects distributive
trade in wider area and higher prices for
fuel reduce the profits of manufacturers
generally throughout the east Crop pros
poets are not, of course, perfect, but are
little less than that. Confidence in fall trade
seems to be growing. Export business,
notably in manufactured goods, is certainly
improving. The rail traffic outlook is APP
parently of the best. The cruder FORMS of
iron and steel are apparently in undiminish-
ed demand. Finished products, though
nothing quieting in influences of the sea-
son, are in quite active request. Building
of sc ccrat -hor 1oh ny
troubles interfere. Some lines of trade
heretofore depressed, notably boots and
shoes and wooden goods, are displaying a
better tendency.
