WAR IN THE RANKS.
G. B. Hofman's Organ reads the
Riot Act.

The Democratic county organiza-
tion having quietly pulled in most OF
the Populist committeeman, the mid
dle.oi-the road faction inswhich G. b.
Hoffman is power and Of which the
Enterprise Star is the organ, don't
like it. The Star says:
political history furnishes not q
parallel to the brazen cheek displayed
by certain committeeman Of the Peo'
ple's party who, after having an
nounced their migration into the
Democratic party, still meet with
and try to control the action Of Pop
ulist committees. II for no other
reason, fusion, il it shall be formed,
ought to be slaughtered. When a
committeeman joins another political
party be ought to have the good sense
and decency to resign his position in
the party to which he is a traitor.
Judas Iscariot set a better example
than some Of Pop committeeman
he went out and hung himself"
The Populists have called no con-
vention to select delegates to the
state convention and may be shut out
entirely.

How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made

0Vw VNS"k OA~o eS"
The Health department OF New
York has seized q quantity Of so
called cheap baking powder, which
it found in that city. Attention was
attracted to it by the low price at
which it was being sold in the de-
partment store. Samples were taken
and the chemist Of the Health depart.
ment reported the stuff to be ian
alum powder, which analysis showed
TO be composed chiefly Of alum and
pulverized rock.
The powder was declared to be
dangerous to health, and several
thousand pounds were carted to
the offal dock and destroyed.
1t is unsafe to experiment with
these so.called "cheap" articles Of
bod. They are sure to be made
from alum, rock, or other injurious
matter. In baking powders, the high
class, cream Of tartar brands, are the
most economical, because they 60

THE RAILROAD MERGER.


st. Paul, Mimi, May 6.-"An en-

Northern Securities company given
in the answer fled by the attorneys
for that corporation in the suit
brought by Attorney General P. c.
Knox, on behalf OF the United States,
to enjoin the so-called merger of the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways. This answer is divided
into two parts The first Is largely
a denial of the petition as respecting
any charge Of conspiracy and as re-
spectng the purposes OF the organ
ization of the securities company
In the second part of the answer the
purchase Of the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy Railway company is taken
up, the reasons for such purchase
having been, 1t is alleged, 'erro-
neously stated in the petition At
tention is called to the sparsely set
tied or unsettled nature of the co'ln-
try through which the Great North
ern lines pass; the abundance OF raw
materials to be hauled at a low mile
age rate; the great timber wealth
in the Pacific northwest and the ne
cessity Of return load for the cars
taking this timber to the prairie
states; the development Of trade with
eastern Asia as q means OF securing
such return loads, and the establish
ment OF connecting steamship line
for that purpose.

GRADUATES OF THE DISTRICT SCHOOLS.
Good Showers Saturday Night and
Monday Morning.

The showers SO badly needed came
at last. On Saturday night the long
spell OF drouth ended. The rainfall
at Abilene was "a hundredths inch.
In the south part Of the county it
was slightly heavier. Sunday was
cloudy and damp and this morning
came drizzling rain continuing until
afternoon, the rainfall being about
half an inch.
The rain is Of great benefit to the
corn and oats as well as to pastures.
Wheat will be helped and some fields
will with further rains make quite q
crop. Others can't make a crop
without resurrection. No one cares
to estimate what will be the wheat
crop as much will depend on the COM
ing months weather.

A WARM DISCUSSION
Senators Got Excited About Subpoe-
naing MAJ Gardener. ~SI
AGRICULTURAL APPROPRIATION BILL


Washington, May IA resolution
offered In the senate yesterday by
Senator Patterson, of Colorado, d.
recting the secretary of war to or
der by cable Maj. Gardener, now in
the Philippines, to come Immediately
to Washington, to appear as a wit
ness before the Philippine commit
tee, precipitated warm discussion.
The debate continued for about two
hours, considerable feeling being
manifested ON both sides of the
chamber. The charge was made by
the minority that the majority Of
the committee was endeavoring to
suppress facts and information.
This was denied by the chairman Of
the committee, Senator Lodge, who
said that any such action would be
inconceivably stupid. All parties, he
insisted, were anxious for the full
est information, but he and others
contended that II would not be ad-
visable to cable to the Philippines
for Maj Gardener, as he was about
to come home and would be here In
time to appear before the commit
tee. Senator Patterson and Senator
Carmack, Of Tennessee, urged that
Gardeners testimony was partcn.
larly important and that It ought
to be had before action was taken
on the pending bill. The resolution
finally went over until to-day.
The bill for the purchase Of tho
Rosebud reservation In South Dakota
and the sundry civil appropriation
bill were considered, but no action
was taken on them.
Senator Culberson introduced 3
resolution calling on the secretary
of war for the following 'nforma-
tion: Whether the recommendation
orders OF Gen. Bell have been official
ly received by the war department;
II so, when; by whom forwarded;
whether issued by authority Of the
major general commanding the Phil
ippines, and whether approved by
him or by the war department;
whether Gen. Smiths orders to Maj.
Waller were made in writing and
whether they were approved by the
officer commanding in the Philip
pines; whether they have bsen re-
ceivsd by the war department and
whether these orders have been re-
voksd or countermandsd. The reso-
luton was not passed npon.

BORROWED CHURCH cHoIRs.
Requests for Loans of Boy Singers Frequent in the Holiday
 Season.

''I suppose you don't know" said a choir master, according to the New York Sun, ''how glad l am, in one way, that Christmas is past. I don't know why it should be so, but every year we are called upon by people to lend them few of our vested choir to sing in halls where there are Christmas trees, or in houses where there are elaborate Christmas exer- cises.
 ''Of course, it would be very nice if we could respond. But the music in our churches for Christmas is usually quite elaborate and the work is harder than usual.
 ''In my choir, for example, we be- gin, the rehearsal of this music two or three weeks in advance of the Christmas service, and then there are extra services. My own vested choir is worked to it's utmost, and some of my boys are tired out long before the season is half over.
 "And yet people come. from vari- ous quarters asking me to lend them a few boys to sing for special occa- sions. I know they don't stop to think or they wouldn't do it."
