A SENATOR'S TEMPTATIONS.
Natural Results of the Immense
Growth of His Power ana
Influence.

One result of the immense growth
of a senator's power and influence Is
the temptation thereby offered to
pasterful men of wealth, writes Hen
nv Loomis Nelson, in Century. 10
such men there is no pleasure COM
parable to that of exercising power.
The Joy of the ruler is dear to them,
and there is no position in this coun-
try like senatorship for breeding
that ecstasy. An Indictment against
wealth in politics, per sc, is folly;
but wealth in public life, unguarded
and uniformed, untempered by a
patriotic and statesmanlike regard
for the general welfare, is hostile to
the country's best interest.
1t is not true that rich public men
invariably disregard or overlook the
general welfare; they are often our
wisest counselors. 1t is true, how
ever. that their first tendency is to
consider the effect of proposed leg
islation on special interests. 1t Is
also unquestionably an evil that men
who have no talent for public life
should attain to it's highest honor'
merely because they are rich. In the
present senate there are more than
score of men who would not be there
but for their possession of wealth
1t is not true that these men, belne
In the senate, are necessarily un
worthy members of that body but II
itself, the fact that wealth can Sc
cure senatorships does not make fol
the health of the body. When to TINS
we add the domination which the sen
ate has gained over the president ant
the popular branch of congress- ane
over the party organizations VIZ
readily understand that it is men
ace to the health of the body polite

TRUE LOVE.

think true love Is never blind,
But rather brings an added Light
An inner vision quick to ind
The beauties hid from common sigma
No soul can ever clearly see
Apother's highest noblest part;
Save through the sweet philosophy
And loving wisdom of the heart.
Your unanointed eyes shall fall
On him who fills my world with light;
You do not see my friend at all.
You see what hides him from your sight
see the feet that fam would climb;
You but the steps that turn astrayj
see the soul, unframed, sublime;
You but the garment and the clay.
You see a mortal, weak, misled,
Dwarfed ever by the earthly clod;
see how manhood, perfected,
May reach the nature Of god.

AN ARMLEsS EoRSEMAN.
WashlnRton Man Who Drives Fast
Horses with che Greatest
Enae and skilI.

"People wonder how 1t is that 1
am able to drive horses without
hands," said Mr.. w. b. Denny, the
RrInless man, whose proficiency as j
horseman has won great praise, says
the Washington Star. GAS far as the
art of driving and controlling a
horse, no matter how spirited he il,
is concerned, that Is not a great per-
Torrance. After the ends OF the
driving reins are securely buckled or
tied, l place one rein over my right
shoulder and the near side rein I'M
der my left arm. If horse becomes
FESTIVE and shows signs of becoming
uncomfortable l throw the weight of
my body against the reins and if that
fails to bring him to his senses l
twist my body from one side to the
other, so as to violently jerk his head
from right to left.
"A straight, heavy pull against the
mouth of a horse that's inclined to
run because he is frightened or be-
cause of a vicious disposition, Is
rarely, If ever, effective in gaining
full control of him. When a fright
ened horse begins TO get the better
of you your duty is to make him
think of something else besides the
object of which he is afraid This can
be done by violently jerking his head
from right to left, and at the same
time talking to him In low tones. Do
not let the horse know that you are
frightened by shouting whoa! whoa!
in loud and excited tone OF voice.
If you do the chances are that you
will add to his fright. Before l get
into a wagon l always see that the
straps and buckles are in perfect
condition, that the horse is properly
hitched and that the trap l ride in 10
oil right. 1 cannot afford to take
many chances, for II l were thrown
to the ground by reason Of an accl-
dent the chances are that l would be
fatally injured.
at is not so much my great skill
as a horseman that has thus far pre-
vented me from meeting with serious
accidents as my confidence in my
ability to manage any horse I get up
behind. drive none but highly bred
and spirited horses and l find that
kind in a pinch much safer, because
of their superior intelligence. A
horse known to be really vicious
should never be driven, but consigned
to the bone yard. drive two horses
with quite as much ease as l do one
and in a pinch drive IN race. 1t is
dangerous on my part, but thus far
have met with no serious accidents. y

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT nEDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound
Am Now In the Best OF Health"

The greatest Of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward +. Phelps, NJ. D., IL. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that 1t had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands OF the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DIR. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Painc's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O'Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
OF disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation Of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
al acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured Of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. l had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. was also treated by several OF
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
"I was getting worse, and was told was
incurable. | was indeed in a critical condi'
ton. l could not go from the house alone
as l was liable to sudden collapse. tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came 10 me. l could not sleep; anything that
l ate increased my agonies; l was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and desPondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to case my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had prolusc, cold sweatsr
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for a time, am now in the best OF
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God | am my old self
once more, all through the use OF Paine Is
Celery Compound"

THREE MORE SUITS
AGAINST STRATTON

Colorado Springs, Colorado, October
4.-Three additional damage suits, ag-
'gregating $4,000, were instituted in
the District Court last night against l.
Harry Stratton, the summonses being
served while Stratton was attending
the night session of the trial of J. B.
Donovan's suit for $685. for alleged
breach of contract
Mrs. Laura Williams demands $10.-
600. Henry Jenkins $4,000 and William
Farnsworth $1,000 from Young STRAIT
ton. All allege to have entered into
contracts with young Stratton for the
various amounts upon consideration of
their aid in interviewing and locating
important witnesses before the recent
will contest
Attorney C. W. Waterman. repre-
senting young Stratton in his argu-
ments in the Donovan case last night
branded Donovan and the three new
plaintiffs as a band OF conspirators.
and stated that he has no hesitancy in
declaring their testimony absolutely
false from beginning to end. He stat
ed that Donovan in his dealings with
young Stratton was "a pirate under
flag of truce, as well as a bandit on
the highway OF Justice"
Young Stratton commented bitterly
upon the various suits that have been
filed against him, and seems particu-
larly incensed against Mrs. Williams.
who, he stated, had attempted to Sc
cure $4,000 from him prior to his de-
parture after the settlement of the will

After an hours argument by Attor-
ney Waterman for the defense and At

plaintiff the Donovan case went to the
jury at 9:45 o'clock last night Should
the jury agree, a sealed verdict will be
returned, to be read in court Monday
morning.

Then General Chase seat a written
request Tor the pay rolls and this also
was denied by the paymaster. General
Chase sent his adjutant, Major Will
liams, and two orderlies over TO get the
pay rolls and bring them back. The
major and his orderlies approached
the tent door of the paymaster in
which were Colonels Gross and Kim
ball They were met at the door. so
the story is told by one present at the
time, by Colonels Gross and kimball,
with revolvers. and kindly asked to
get out of the tent. In the meantime
General Chase heard of the trouble and
he came over to the tent and took the
two colonies. metaphorically speaking
by the ear. He then placed them both

his grievance before the governor

it is said, does not consider himself
amenable to the brigade commander,
Colonel Gross, being paymaster,
thought that he was in command of the
pay rolls. Then Assistant Adjutant
General Bloom and Judge Advocate
McClelland also came to Denver. Then
came the request from Governor Pea
body to General Chase for confer
ence. General Chase, just as he was
about to board a train coming out OF
the Cripple Creek district, received an
other telegram to the effect that he
had been recalled. and then came the
conferences yesterday.

GEN. CHASE MAY BE RECALLED
FROM CRIPPLE CREEK COMMAND

Denver, Oct, 5.-.The Republican this
morning says:
After two conferences held yesterday
between Governor Peabody and Briga-
have been pretty definitely settled that
General Chase will not return to the
Cripple Creek district as general in
command of the troops. Neither Cen
cral Chase nor Governor Peabody
would give any intimation yesterday
after the conference as to just what
had been the outcome of the meeting.
But there is scarcely doubt that Cen
eral Chase has been relieved of his
command in the district. His probable
successor will be Colonel Verdeckberg
The policy over which General
Chase and Governor Peabody do
not agree and which may cause the
formers permanent recall, is said to be
relative to the conduct of the supplies
and other things which come into the
camp.
The immediate cause of all this dis
turbance came up over the pay rolls
which are now being prepared by Col
onel Gross. According to military
rules and regulations the pay rolls
must pass through the hands of the
brigade commander, who is General
Chase. Colonel Gross, the paymaster
general Of the army, did not see fit to
allow the general to see the pay rolls
The break occurred in Camp Goldfeld
General Chase sent word to Colonel
Gross that he wanted to see the pay
rolls. Word was sent back by the
colonel that he was busy with them
and could not send them over.

TURKS OPEN WAR
ON BULGARIANS

Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 5.-Serious news
has been received here from the from
tier of fighting between the Turkish
and Bulgarian troops at Demir-kapia,
both sides sustaining losses.
In official quarters all knowledge Of
the affair is denied, but the circumstan-
tial details given seem to indicate that
there is some foudation for the account
Of the conflict.
According to one report the Turks
attacked the Bulgarian frontier post.
Another version says thai the Turks
pursued Rumber of refugees across
the frontier.
1t is asserted that the Turks have
frequently attempted to provoke hostil-
tiles. firing into Bulgarian territory,
and crossing the frontier to steal
horses and sheep. The war office here
is working at high pressure, and $4,000
recruits will be called three months be-
fore the usual time. Prince Ferdinand
has sanctioned numerous other meas
ures of a warlike nature. All the cav
airy, with the exception of single
regiment, which is stationed at Sofia,
has been sent into the frontier dis
tricts, where are strong forces of artil-
lery. Vigorous efforts are being made
to prevent bands from crossing into
Turkish territory. Two bands which
were sent back have reached Sofia
since yesterday.
Dispatches from the frontier re-
ceived at the revolutionary headquar-
ters report that the refugees in the
mountains are in terrible condition
through their pursuit by the Turks and

MUST BUY FROM
UNITED STATES

New York, Oct 6.-"No country
could dsplace the United States as a
source of food supply for Great Brit
ain," said Sir Thomas Upton, when
seen at the Waldorf upon his arrival
from Chicago. But as one who ex
ports great deal from this country to
Great Britain" he continued, 81 should
be sorry to see tax put upon the i'm
portation of food products. ! have al
ways believed in free breakfast table.
The proposed tax on food products
would raise the cost of edibles for the
poor man in Great Britain. His pay is
small now; his buying ability would be
reduced if the price of foodstuffs were
increased.
For three weeks | have been lying
in bed and practically out of the world,
and | am not familiar with current
British politics. but when | reach home
next week shall be eager to learn how
Mr.. Chamberlain's proposals are being
received there ! admire him personal
ly very much and regard him as one OF
the foremost men in Great Britain. but
should regret to see his anti-free
trade IDEAS prevail"
Speaking of the proposed British
preferential tariff, Sir Thomas said:
Il think his policy of advocating
preferential tariff rate for the British
colonies is entirely wrong. The British
people are not ready for protection.
81 have studied this question of sup
ply and demand very carefully, as far
as it applies to my own country, and
am thoroughly convinced that in the
question of food supply Great Britain
has no choice. America is the only
country in the world that is prepared
to meet her demands.
Il have profound respect for Mr..
Chamberlain, but ! must say | think
this tariff rock is the one on which his
political career must founder. The
British people will bitterly oppose any
policy that must inevitably add to the
coct of living"

AS THE RESULT OF A CRISIS
BALFOUR FORMS NEW CABINET

Graham Murray. lord advocate of
Scotland, succeeds Lord Balfour of
Burleigh as secretary for Scotland.
Lord Stanley, financial secretary of
the war department. succeeds Austin
Chamberlain as postmaster general.
The three weeks cabinet crisis has
ended in manner more remarkable
and dramatic than its inception. Mr..
Balfours new ministry affords a
measure of the enormous difficulty he
has had to contend with in the task Of
reconstructing the cabinet and its COM
position seems to indicate that the pre-
mier himself can have but little belief
in its durability. The most sanguine
supporters of the government tonight
express the smallest hopes of such an
administration living many months,
and the prevalent idea is that there
will be a general election before Par
lament reassembles
The withdrawal of the Duke of Dev
onshire is heavy blow. Had he re-
mained. the government might possibly
have survived another parliamentary
session by avoiding legislation dealing
with the fiscal problem, but with him
goes the support of the strong party Of
Liberal-Unionists in the country.
