When Senator Burton was employed
by the Rialato Grain and Securities
Go. he was told that they did not
want him to use any influence with
the department, so he says, and yet
the only services he seems to have per
formed were about the departments,
and the only business the company
had at Washington arose in the de-
partments, and Senator Burton lived
in Washington. Wherefore then could
he give value received? His fees
were $500 per month-and the company
must have expected some return. 1t
got q return, so says the jury thattried
Senator Burton. 1t found him guilty.
and he now awaits sentence, which
can be made as much as 10 years in
the peniten tiary and fine of $4,000.
This is the first U. S. Senator to be
convicted of crime, and think of Kan
SaS furnishing him,

Why ARE THEY NOT PRESENTED ,

We have heard little lately of the
Northern Securities case except that
the President is not going to run
amuck in this important matter. The
case, if it decided anything, decided
that those who had attempted the
consolidation had violated the Sher-
man act. There is penalty fixed for
such violation. Why is the penalty
not enforced What has been gained
if now that the law has been declared
violated, those who violated are not
punished. Had those persons been of
more humble origin, like poor Sam
Parks the labor leader of New York,
or "the get rich quick crowd" they
would possibly today be standing at
the bar of some court to answer for
their crime. But J. J. Hill and John
P. Morgan are too large for this.
They are above the law.

ROOSTER DIED
FROM OPERATION.
Prize Barn Yard Fowl Subjected to

Prize Barn Yard Fowl Subjected to
Trying opeI alton.
Deputy Clerk of the Superior Court
Joseph Carr lost his prize Plymouth
Rock rooster yesterday, the death be-
ing the result of an operation per-
formed by Mr.. Carr on Saturday aft
ernoon.
Mr. Carr is an enthusiastic chicken
fancier, and has a large number of
various breeds of fancy stock. His
prize rooster however, was of the
Plymouth Rock variety. He was pet
ted by day and watched carefully by
night, so that the rough hand of the
roost thief might not reach him.
This particular rooster was the pet
of the entire family of Mr. Carr at his
home on Thirty-ninth street, and Sun
day afternoons he would be made to
do all kinds of stunts for the benefit
of the neighbors who might drop in
Last Friday the rooster showed signs
of sickness. The deputy clerk was
worried. The condition of the fowl
did not improve on Saturday nor on
Sunday, and he gradually grew worse
until Monday morning, when Mr.. Carr
decided to take desperate remedies for
the cure of the chicken. He concluded
that the direct cause of his illness was
appendicitis, so he prepared for the
operation for this dreaded disease.
Mr.. Carr felt that the responsibility
for such an undertaking was too great
for one man to bear so he called in his
friends, Deputy Clerk James Murphy
and Joe Molina. These gentlemen
know little about the human anatomy,
but they are thoroughly familiar with
that of a chicken, and their advice was
considered most valuable.
The rooster was pinioned down, each
leg being tied to a post driven in the
ground. He was stretched on hts
back, and his head also securely tied
down. With a sharp sealpel the oper-
alton was performed, and the opening
closed up and sewed together. After
carefully bandaging the cut place the
hooster was allowed to get up and run
about the yard.
He seemed not to have suffered from
the effects of the operation, until late
yesterday afternoon when he was pre-
pairing to go to roost for the night. Mr..
Carr and a friend were standing in
the back yard watching the fowl stroll
ing up and down the yard, and Mr..
Carr was just remarking ON the oper-
alton he had performed when the roos-
ter turned over on his back. and, with
a squawk, expired.
