ers TO continue the practices declared

According to late Chicago dispatch,
this is to be accomplished by merger.
or securities holding company" which
Is to embrace the principal firms and
corporations in the dressed beef trade.
Apparently the model for the proposed
merger will be the Northern Securities
company, whose right to exist is now
undergoing examination in the courts
of the United States. Until the deci.
sion in the latter case is made known
1t would be premature to say whether
the legal principles involved in the one
are controlling also in the other.
In the event that the mergers should
be dissolved, however, the properties
would not necessarily be detached in
the sense of being put upon compete
tive basis. All the motives for q mer
ger would remain in full force. The
companies would be just as eager 70
control the prices of cattle on the hoo
and of beef on the hook as before.
Their methods of accomplishing the
result may be changed by necessity,
but their endeavors will be the same.

Kenosha ranch, where they will be in
easy touch with the markets of New
York and Chicago. In getting this herd
together Major Lille has recently
bought the famous Good Night herd
Tn Texas and the Alvoid herd in Mon
tana. The only animals of the race
now to be found outside Of this herd
are in the parks Of New York, Chicago,
San Francisco, Yellowstone and Gin
cinnati.
Major Lille Is one of the most noted
of the men who have made the west
famous, and his daring scheme of cor
railing all the buffalo in the world Is in
keeping with many others which he
has made. He is regarded as one of the
wealthiest men in the west. AT Paw
nee he owns banks, railways. general
stores and everything that could be
considered general utility.
He was originally "tenderfoot." He
was born at Bloomington, ILL.,, and was
educated ut Yale When he had COM
pleted his college course, he went west
and was soon the hero of the famous
rush which marked the opening of the
Cherokee strip for colonization. With
a single bound he became the leading
white man in the new territory and be-
came known as "the Little Giant OF
the West" He became the trusted
agent of the government in the new
territory and was the interpreter for
the government In the dealings with
the Indians.

what Pnwnee Bill Proposes to Do
with His Herd OF Bison.

Unless the plans Of Major Gordon W,
Lille, president Of the Arkansas Val
ley National bank at Pawnee, Okla,
and who Is known throughout the west
as "Pawnee Bill" go astray, the peo.
pie of this country in the course of
year or two will be supplied with buf-
falo beef.
"Pawnee Bill'' has bought tract of
land containing 800 acres near Keno.
sha, Wis. and in the spring is to put
a herd of wild buffalo upon IL. Incl
dentally Major Lille, through the aid
of Lloyd +. Nicodemus, has formed
million dollar buffalo trust, and the
statistics of the government show that
he has corralled every wild buffalo in
the United States and Canada and in
fact the entire world.
For the last ten years Major Lille
and Mr.. Nicodemus have been at work
getting into a single herd all the buf
falo in the world. but the task is now
practically completed, and the major
has a single herd consisting of 365 ami
mails. All of these will be placed on the

Those were stirring days in the po-
litical history of the nation. The Mis-
souri, compromise was near at hand.
The slavery question was uppermost in
the minds of men.
When President Lincoln called the
Thirty seventh congress in extra session
on the eightyfifth anniversary of the
nations birth, it was notable assem-
blage Of men, and of them all only one,
Galusha A. Grow, is still member.
He had such men as Thaddeus Ste
vens, Roscoe COnkling, Cox Of New
York and Pendleton of Ohio, the ear
nest advocate of civil service reform,
as fellow members.
From among that brilliant galaxy of
statesmen Mr.. Grow was chosen with
out formalities of caucus to preside
over the United States house of repre-
sentatives which made the unparal-
leled record of approprating $5OO,OO0,-
600 in less than fifteen minutes of time,
| it being the largest appropriation ever
made to save nation.
Mr.. Grow was member of congress
| from 1851 to 1868, the first six years
as a Free Soil Democrat, the last six
years as a Republican. From 1871 to
| 1876 he was president of the lnterna-
| tional and Great Northern railroad,
| Texas. Three years later he declined
| the tender of the mission to Russia
and in 1898 was again elected mem
Der of congress from the state of Penn
sylvania, which Office he is just about
to relinquish.
More than fifty years have rolled by
since Mr.. Grow first became member
of the United States congress. Ihe
country has seen troubled times during
that half century. Two wars have been
fought and three presidents have been
slain by assassins Mr.. Grow was the
father Of the Homestead law, when
gave to honest settlers land greater In
area than all New England and which
now represents roughly the value OF
SIS, ,OOO,O 100000. Mr. Grow will be
missed. He has made place for him
self in the country's history.

PASSING STATESMEN
MEN WHO RETIRE WITH THE FIFTY.
SEVENTH CONGRESS.

Nearly one-third of the House Re-
turns TO Private Life-A Few Go
to the senate-Notables Who VIII
he Missed.
When the Fifty-seventh congress
passes into history on the 4th of
March, its records will show the lar
gest political mortality of any congress
In recent years. When the day of ad-
journment arrives, nearly one third of
Its membership will depart and give
up their titles of representative, some
to assume the title of senator. but the
great majority TO retire TO private
life. some of them forever.
Seven representatives voluntarily de-
cided to retire from congress last fall
and refused to accept denominations.
One of these. McRae of Arkansas, got
out of the house to try for the nomina-
tion for governor next year. Nearly all
of the others gave up congressional life
because they wanted to make more
money than they received in pay as
members of congress. These include
Bromwell of Ohio. Page Morris of Min
nesota, Eddy of Minnesota. Reeves of
Illinois. Jett of Illinois and Tompkins
of Ohio.
Four of the present members of the
house will graduate to the senate. They
are Long of Kansas, who succeeds Sen
ator Harris; Newlands of Nevada, who
succeeds Senator John l.. Jones, who
goes out after continuous service
since 1873; Latimer of North Carolina.
who succeeds Jeter w. Pritchard, and
Hopkins of Illinois, who falls heir to
the seat of Senator William Mason.
Among the notables OF the outgoing
members are General Henderson, pres
ent speaker of the house, who will
have served twenty years when his
gavel falls on the 18th of March, and
Galusha \. Grow of Pennsylvania, one
time speaker.
Mr.. Grow is now nearing his eight
ieth birthday. He left Connecticut
when a ten-year-old boy to seek his
fortune in the then wilds of Pennsylva-
mia. At the age of fourteen young
Grow was n lumber rafter on the Sus-
Quehanna river. A few years later he
went TO Amherst college, Massachu-
sets, and in due time was graduated,
returning TO his life of mmberman.
In the winter of 1851 Galusha A.
Grow, at the age of twenty-seven, took
his place in the Thirty second congress,
the youngest member of that body.

Prohibition That Doesn't Prohibit.

While Maine has a prohibitory liz.
uor law, 1t does not seem to be en-,
forced in some of the larger cities.
Instead Il peculiar method Of collecting
license fees is followed Bangor has q
plan by which, 1t is said, all dealers are
fined once year and are then allowed
to go free from molestation for the
rest of the year provided they con,
duet orderly places. There are said to
be over 200 liquor saloons in that city.
Recently complaints We're made of
about fifty dealers, nearly all Of whom
appeared voluntarily in court and paid
. fines, the minimum rate being $210,
and $10,522 was collected in that way.
The men who pay the money proceed
with their saloon business, feeling that
they are safe for another year If they
keep orderly places. If public senti
ment sustalns such practice, it is
probably useless to try to enforce the
prohibltory law.

After nearly score of students of
Cornell university had died of typhoid
fever 1t was discovered that there were
several pigsties adjacent to the Ithaca
water supply, which is regarded as the
primary cause of the scourge. 1t is
strange how frequently 1t takes an epi
demic to point out to even the most in.
telligent communities their neglect Of
the simplest rules Of health. And
Cornell university has department
for teaching sanitary science-in the
abstract. A little more concrete appli
cation of professed knowledge of sani.
tation would undoubtedly have saved
many lives.

A New Jersey man who lives in New
ark kissed widow of that town with
out previously giving warning of his
intention. This may have been the
reason she smote him so grievously
over the head with broomstick that
he had to plaster it with vinegar and
brown paper and may expect severe
headache for several weeks to come.
The moral of the incident, if it has
any, Is that woman surprised can
display quite as much fury as wom-
an scorned.

Judge Alton Il. Parker, chief Judge
OF the court of appeals of the state of
New York, the highest judicial Office
In the commonwealth. and who Is by
many considered the most promising
candidate for the nomination of the
Democratic party for the office of pres

the obstacles OF poverty TO his present
position.
Judge Parker. il is stated, Is plan

states during the spring recess of the
New York court of appeals and has al
ready made engagements to attend
banquets, meetings OF bar associations
and other social. political and profes.

make his acquaintance and see what
sort Of man they may be asked TO sup
port with their ballots.
About thirty years ago Judge Par
ker was an unknown schoolteacher
with nothing but youth and ambition
as a promise and hope for future great
ness. He came of Revolutionary stock
and first saw the light in the village
Of Cortland. \. Y, on May II. 1851.
His great grandfather served in the
war of the Revolution. and his grand
father and father. while not particular
ly prominent men. were both noted for
their strong character and rugged hon.
esty. Judge Parkers father was poor,
but by sacrifices gave his son a good
education.
He attended the Cortland academy
when small boy, and at the age Of
sixteen, determining no longer TO be a
burden to his parents, he taught school
until he had saved money to continue
his studies at Tie State Normal school
After finishing his course there he
again took up teaching. finding enough
time after the school sessions to pur.
sue the study Of law, for which he had
great fondness.
Finally Judge Parker resigned his po-
sition as schoolteacher and accepted a

The scheme of the Berlin doctor for
annihilating mosquitoes by breeding an
insect that will destroy them arouses Il
somewhat nervous anxiety as to what
is to be done with the destroying insect
when its mission is ended. Possibly
the mosquito killer may grow to be
more pestiferous and annoying than
the mosquito itself.

According to Judge Grosscups deci-
sion against the beef combine, con-
spiracy in restraint of trade need not
necessarily be for the purpose of rails
ing prices. 1t is an unlawful conspir-
acy lust the same if it aims to reduce
prices. This point seems to be purely
supposititious. however. NO compihe
to reduce prices has yet been indicted.

railroad that was built in the state-a
very crude line. forty miles in length.
After ii had been operated for rears
the company was sued for damages. Old
Salt was called as a witness for the de-
fence. Counsel asked a question during
his examination of Salt which seemed to
the Judge to make IL proper for plain
tiff's counsel to go into the general rep
utation of the road. He asked If Ii were
not true that numerous accidents had
happened on the line.
