Jan. 30. Mr. Fallen from over near
Leanna was over on this side OF the
river last week for the first time in
many years.
Mrs Lille Miller has been in the
western part of the state, since Christ
mas with her husband and Charlie
Young, who have been touring the
short grass country all winter with
their show. We don't know what it is
but suppose they must be doing fairly
we'll or they would have been home
before now.
One of the interesting personages of
human life came beneath our notice
last Saturday morning. On looking
out of the window | remarked to Mr.
Swartman, that buggy had driven
into our lane, then he looked out and
observed two men alighting, Zone is
Dave Houston and, can it be, is it,
Steve Dickson? That is just who it
is" and quicker than he has moved
in five years he was out in the yard
grasping the hand of slender gray
haired mal and they were looking in
to each others eyes hunting their old
chums, then they came in laughing,
with suspicion of moisture in their
eyes and both talking at the same time
like two boys. They told how they
used to gather chestnuts on the hills
of New York, more than so years ago.
TWAS worth hearing them talk OF their
boy-hood days. One is IS and the
other 10 years old.
"Fifty years as swift in their flight
AS swallows clearingth morning ligh
OR golden CLEANS at eve.
Mr. Dickson came west and spent g
few years in Humboldt, in the early
seventies, and married Mr. Houston
sister and went farther west and is
now an,orchardist near Larned. Mr.
Houston took him up to see Humboldt
to see if the place looked natural. He
ssaysit did, but like himself, it looked
older, that was the only change, saw
it was not so lively as it was 30 years
ago. He would have known Hum
boldt if dropped down in his sleep.
Mr. Scott's sentiments on the distri-
button of garden seeds, is ours to

Congress had better spend its time de

men from putting old and poor seed

WAS A PILLAR OF FIRE
Mrs. Fannie Weinbergis Covered With
Burning Fluid.

Kansas City, Jan. 29-By the eX-
plosion of II gasoline stove at about
$3.50 last night Mrs. Fannie Weinberg,
of 1909 West Ninth street, was so bad
ly burneG that it is believed she can
not possibly recover. The injured
woman is the wife of NJ. Weinberg,
who runs IA second-han furniture store
at the above number in one-story
frame building with two story annex
at the rear, in which are the family
living rooms.
Weinberg has another place in Ar
mourdale, where he was working yes
terday and was late in coming home.
His wife was preparing supper when
the stove exploded, igniting her cloth
ing and setting fire to the building.
AS the woman ran screaming from
the building she was veritable pillar
of fire, the blaze completely envelop-
ing her and Haringup several feet above
her head. She ran north on the alley
toward Bell street and must inevitably
have burned to crisp but for the
heroic work of George Castor, negro
employe of the Armour Packing Com
pany, who happened to be passing the
mouth of the alley at the time. He
called to her to stop as her flight
famed the flame, but she could no
hear him, so he caught her and rolled
her in the snow until the fire was ex
tinguished, burning his own hands
badly as he did so.
Mrs. Weinberg was carried TO Otter
mans drug store at Ninth and Bell
where an effort was made to alleviate
her sufferings and ascertain the exten
of her injuries. 1t was found that sh
was bistered in spots from head tt
! foot, the worst burns being on he
= arms and breast.
+ 1t is believed that she also inhale'
t some of the flames as she ran.

HE BLAMES CONGRESS
The Need of a Larger Navy is Plainly
Apparent, Says H0bsOn.

New York, Jan. 20. Captain Rich
mond Pearson Hobson was given a
reception last night after he lectured
before the United Daughters of 1872
upon the need of a greater navy. Cap
tain Jacob w. Miller, commander of
the New York naval reserves, presid-
ed. Captain Hobson blamed Con-
gress for its indifference to the needs
of a larger navy. He said that % mil
lion dollars ought to be appropriated
every year for the navy, and that this
year twice this sum should be given.
He gave four reasons why there should
be larger navy: gigantic interests
that require big navy; duties which
require larger navy; the United
States can afford it; the navy is now
weaker than that of other powers OF
the same international Importance.

A STORMY SESSION
Bitterest Speeches Which Have Been
Indulged in for Years We're
Heard Oh the Floor

Washington, Jan. 20. "A Philippine
storm was central in the Senate cham
Der yesterday for nearly three hours,
but was void of definite results. At |
times, it looked very serious, and the |
spectators who thronged the galleries !
watched it with breathless interest.
Acrimony in Senate debates is not
infrequent, but it has been years since
there has been such a hurricane of
bitter vituperation of personal taunt,
of ugly charges and of unmodiiied
criticism as was witnessed yesterday.
Not since the discussion of the resolu-
tions leading up to the Hispano- Amer
lean war has any scene occurred
in the Senate chamber comparable
with that of yesterday. Even that de-
bate lacked the personal bitterness
manifested at times yesterday.
Irritation was aroused on both sides
of the chamber, and once or twice per-
soual encounter between Senators
seemed imminent.
Once, when Senator Teller tauuted
the Republican Senators by declaring
that they knew the statements made in
recent dispatch from Manila in
which General Wheaton was repre-
sented as criticising the opponents OF
the governments policy in the Philip
pines were true, half dozen Republic
cans were on their feet in an instant
Senator Lodge. at whom the taunt
seemed to be aimed particularly, hur
redly crossed from his seat in the
center of the Republican side to thu
main aisle of the Senate and, white tC
the lips passionately challenged th
statement Of the Colorado Senate
, and demanded that he withdraw 1t
Senator Teller so modified the state
ment that further hostilities at tina
time were averted.
one of the sharpest colloquies of tn
session was between Senator Spooner
of Wisconsin, and Senator TillmaI
3D., of South Carolina. The race prot
y lem, involving the lynching of ne
y. groes, was interiected into the cor
troversy, and much feeling was mani
=, tested by both Senators. In the cours
of the colloquy, Mr. Spooner declare
that if the same rule were to be al

Spooner, "to kill men with arms

CUBA MUST WAIT.
Relief From War Taxes to Precede
Tariff Concessions.

Washington, Jan. 20.-The Repuh-
lican members of the ways and means
committee held private conference
tonight and decided to frame bill for
the reduction OF war revenue taxes
before proceeding further with the
subject of Cuban reciprocity. Chair
man Payne at once called meeting
of the full committee for IL lo'clock
tomorrow morning, when work on the
war revenue reduction bill will begin.
No draft of bill has been prepared
by the Republican members, but it is
pretty fully understood that the ma
iority is prepared to favor measure
ellecting very large! reductions,
amounting practically to repeal of
the entire war taxes, and aggregating
about SOS, 900, 600. The restrictions of
recent hearings to beer and tea led to
the belief that reductions might be
confined to these two articles, but the
sentiment of the ma ajority now appears
to be favorable to much larger re-
duction. At the conference today II
was the prevailing view that, as Cuba
had been the cause for mourning the
war revenue taxes, the burden should
be removed from this country before
considering the extent of relief to be
granted to Cuba. The question OF
what percentage of reduction in tariff
rates could be made'for Cuba was not
considered at the meeting tonight,
owing to the determination to leave
this until after the war reductions had
been accomplished.

WICHITA'SDATES MIXED



tion be Changed Week Earlier.
Topeka, Jan. 20-Wichita today
asked the Democratic State committee
to change the date Of its convention
for May 90 That city is getting to be
such great convention town that it is
afraid it will get balled up. The
knights of Pythias grand lodge meet
ing is set for Wichita on the week OF
May 20. This date is fixed by the
constitution and cannot be changed.
Wichita is afraid that it cannot enter
tain both the Democratic convention
and the grand lodge at the same time
and therefore today asked the Demo-
cratic State committee to select anoth-
er date, a week earlier being prefera-
BILE. The Republican convention will
be held the week following.
"When the Knights of Pythias heard
that the Democratic convention had
been set for the same date as their
meeting they gobbled up all the de-
sirable rooms in the hotels" said
viii Hallowell of Wichita today.
ave are afraid that the Democrats
will not find good accommodations if
they come at that time. We don't
want them to come and be disappoint-
ed. We hope to do the right thing by
+ them and if they will simply hold their
convention a week earlier than it is
set for we will be able to do it.
