Birds Eggs Too Much for Science.

1t is not often that science aeknowl-
edges herself at fault in an apparently
simple matter, but she frankly does so
in regard to the color and marking of a
large proportion Of birds eggs. A rea-
son there must ne for their infinite diver
sity-it cannot be an aesthetic one; and
all we can say with any confidence is
that the ever-pervading instinct of dis
trust is probably exhibited in egg shells
as in more important things, and the
main idea in their scheme of celebration
has been the securing of safety from
many enemies by harmonzing them with
their surroundings. But it is "A scheme
full of perplexing exceptions. which any
one can study for himself at this charm
ing season.

COMMISSIONER JONES O. K.
MI. Wade Gets a Trip to Washing
and Admits that He Knows
Nothing Other Than
Hearsay.

Washington, May 76.-Based on the
testimony offered today the subcom-
mittee appointed to investigate the al
legged connection of Indian Commission
err Jones with companies that secured
leases of grazing lands in the Sioux u
try OF the Dakotas can reach but one
conclusion.
Two hours were devoted t four wit
nesses. The testimony Of two of them,
who appeared to substantiate the charges
made against the commissioner. was ad-
mittedly based on hearsay. w. V.
Wade of Wade, N. D., whose letters
charging Commissioner Jones with con-
nection with the Walker and Lennon
companies, admitted on cross.examina-
ton that he was in possession of no facts
in fhe case. The testimony of MI. Wade
gave an absurd phase to the inquiry.
Julius Truesdell, a newspaper cores
pondent, admitted that all be knew of
the cases was contained in a report on
the leasing proposition made at the time
of the hearing on the question before the
senate committee. Aside from this, Mr.
Truesdell admitted that he could con-
tribute nothing tending to substantiate
the serious charges preferred against
Commissioner Jones.
Mr.. Truesdell in some mysteriou.
manner connected the Chicago. Mil
waukee & St. Paul with the grazing
leases and intimated that the commits
sioner was acting in the interest of thu
railroad company. When pressed TO
facts on this phase of the question, MI
Truesdell stated frankly that he hae
none. He simply urged that the circum
stances were suspicious and that it wa
the duty of the subcommittee to 20 t
the bottom of the whole matter. M,
Wade was the humorist of the sitting
1t was he who wrote the letter to tn
senate committee in which it was statee
that Commissioner Jones had a 6nancia
interest in the leasing companies.
ION what do you base your charges,
said Senator Quarles, that Commission
er Jones is financially interested in thes
companies"
Mr.. Wade then explained his position
Zone night, about a year ago." said hi

have not seen or heard of him SINCE"
Senator Quarles asked: "Could 20
find him?" Howl" II believe l could
was the reply. HE left a broa
trail," was the rejoinder. This rejoinde
produced laughter In the committe
room and after that Senator Quarles n
ferred to the man on horseback as tt
mysterious stranger.

THE safest car in a railroad train"
said a travelling man, "is one as near
the center Of the train rs possible. I
have observed it over and over, as !
have been in several wrecks myself,
and It is the first two coaches or the
last coach which is usually derailed or
smashed into kindling wood.
"Apropos Of this, special cars are usu-
ally attached to the rear Of the ex
press train. This is the case when the
president goes travelling, his special car
being the last car on the train and con
sequently open to the full force. Of q
rear end collision. It would be difficult
to place the presidents car, or any
other special car for that matter, in the
center of the train. The train would
have to be divided, the a coupled in
and the train made up again. Its pres
ence in the center would interrupt the
free passage from one end of the train
to the other by passengers and train
men and would be Objectionable for
other good and apparent reasons, priH.
cipally upon the score Of privacy

RECENTLY a number of farmers
living in the Valley counties, who
had given their notes to a fake
mutual hail insurance company,
were sued. The company, along
with the Hankinson and several
others, is in the hands of a re-
c~eiver, and there are debts which
the farmers will be compelled to
pay. 1t is more than likely that
these victimized farmers will
wake up to a sense of securing
some legislation that will make it
impossible for professional graft
ers to organize mutual companies
in the state.
