Group, as a revolver is sure to be lost
in case OF burglars. There used to be
an old fashioned remedy for Group

not cost so much. I; causes the pa

Has Wood to Burn.

SpeCidl 10 IlEleS -TteJuDilCdH.
Muscatine. Nov. 14.-There will be
plenty of pine wood in Muscatine this
season. The yards OF the lower mill
are filed to overfiowing. In one place
so one of the employees of the yard
states. they have six ceres of yard
space filled to the utmost capacity.
Great ranks ten and twelve feet high
are piled as close together as permissl-
BILE. In another place there Is fully as
much. The total output of this yea,
would probably amount to many thou
sand cords. Muscatine will use almost
all of this before the winter Is over.
There has been few seasons in which
as much wood has been cut as the
one past. said a person prominently
connected with the mill yesterday. The
yards are seldom as fun at the close
of the season. The lumber yards are IN
the same condition. the lumber yards
and the lath and shingse sheds being
filled to overlooking. In the yard be
side the lumber cut by the Muscatine
mill are several RATS cut at the Still
water mill and floated down the Mis-
sissippi. Taking it as whole the
season has been one of unparalleled
success.

Fifth District Congressman
Thought Cannon Would Do
Right Thing by Him
THE COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS
Cousins Wanted Plaes on the Ways
and Means Committee. But Did Not
Care to Surrender His Position on
Foreign ADMINISTRATIVE Value OF
the Assignments.

Washington. Nov. l6.AThe failure OF
Congressman Cousins to land on the
ways and means committee was 4
great surprise to himself as we'll as
to his friends. who had been hoping
that he M. ght secure the coveted place
of prominence. Just why Speaker
Cannon did not appoint Mr.. Cousins,
or what caused the slip when the
plum was practically in MIR. Cousins
grasp is still matter of deep mystery.
1t is impossible to give the nature of
the assurances, but ii ever man had
reason to take it for granted that he
wo>sd be appointed to any position,
then Mr. Cousins had reason to an
ticipate hearing his name read when
the lis, of names composing the ways
and means committee was announced.
So far as Mr.. Cousins was concerned
he gave out no information and made
no claims on his own account. He au-
,horized no statements or speculation,
bur from other sources in closest touch
with Speaker Cannon the information
came that Mr.. Cousins would be
named.
Mr.. Cousins in the last congress and
for several congresses occupied a po-
sition close to the top on the committee
on foreign affairs and upon the naval
committee He was also chairman OF
a minor committee which gave him a
good committee room. MIR. Cousins
was willing to relinquish his place
upon naval affairs, but not on foreign
affairs. 1t is suggested that right here
is the rock upon which Mr.. Cousins
boat marked ways and means went
down.
1t is considered that place on ways
and means is equal to a Craftsmanship
of a good committee, and that to Sc
cure an appointment upon ways ami
render everything else. 1t will be re-
called that some years ago Senator
Dolliver, then In the house, was upon
the naval affairs committee, war claims
and one other committee. When he
was named for ways and means he
gave up everything else; that was his
only committee assignment.
When Mr.. Burkett OF Nebras ska, was
given appropriations he relinquished
all other assignments. Inasmuch as
Mr.. Cousins had said he would not sur
render his position on foreign affairs.
where he stands near the head, for a
place on ways and means. 1t is be-
lieved by many that Speaker Cannon
could not see his way clear to give Mr..
Cousins both assignments and so de-
cided to permit him to retain his place
on the foreign affairs committee. So
far as Mr.. Cousins is concerned he is
showing no indications of sadness and
says he believes Speaker Cannon will
do the right thing by him in the way
of committee appointments.
