Charges a Land Lobby.
CBy the Associated PressD

Wy lHC <AooUC1dICu AN-"''
Washington, March Ex-senator Hans
brough charged in the Senate today that
the movement to secure the repeal OF the
desert land law, the timber and stone law
and the communication clause of the home
stead act were due to the efforts OF lob
by composed mainly of the holders OF
lands bought in large tracts from railroad
companies, who desire thereby to increase
the demand for their property. Senator
Dubois intimated that the pressure for
repeal was due to large holdings of forest
lien lands by the railroads. Senators
Hansbrough and Dubois contended that
the repeal of the laws would be unwise
and opposed to the public interest.

J tell ye with my last breath, none O
 your Twin together
 'I can seem to see Ruth now, lean. in' over him, good deal whiter than he was, with her eyes like two black wells with simmer O. stars at the bottom. Why father says she, I love mother like she was my own. '- an then the squire spoke up real sharp like: Good land, Ruth,' says he, do try an talk sense, with me a-drawin' my last breath; who said you didn't love your mother? You Hove her a-sight too well to live with her. I ain't say. in nothin' against my wife; I'm sayin' don't want you to live together. A sponge takes up water because 1t was made that way, an the water happens to be standin' 'round.' Them was his very words,' Lydia would conclude, looking triumphantly around on her audience.
 "What could he "a meant by that?'' an awe-struck listener would ask. Don't ask questions of the Twin that only the dead can answer" was always Lydia's solemn reply. "I might have found out in minute, but Mis- Warren come back, and the squire called her to the bed and wanted to lay his head on her arm, an laid there, lookin' up as if he loved the very shad- der of her, an at 20 minutes past 2 by the watch on the washstand he died, with one hand in her hand, and one in Ruth's,-an now you know as much as I do."
 "Wal, Nancy is a good woman, " some one would announce with conyic- tion.
 'Why, I call her real angel" an- other admirer would rejoin. 1T don't believe anybody ever heard her speak a cross word though everybody knows the squire was as fiery as bell-peppers. An jest how she mourns for him; she ain'G ben the same woman since he died. He was hard-hearted man if he didn't have no more regard for her than to make sich speech as that, after all she'd put up with in his sick ness and fractiousness."
 "Why, you see. it want that he did n't set good deal by her, "said Lydia, thoughtfully: "anybody could see that he was bewitched with her to the very end. ''But I mistrust,' ,''-Lydia, s eyes had shrewd gleam-''that the sight that comes to the dYin' showed him things for minute jest as they was!'
 With this observation, impressively delivered, Lydia would finish her cup of tea and her story together, and break up the neighborly conclave.
 Thus it had come about that Dan and Ruth were sitting under the will lows this mild spring evening, talking rather seriously of their future. For when, just two weeks before the day set for their wedding, the fine farm buildings on Nancy's place in Brook vile were burned to the ground, a lit- tie while after the insurance had been carelessly allowed to expire: the widow had become dependent upon Ruth for a home; as she had no means for re- building her own house or replacing the expensive machinery destroyed with the big barns.
 Without the buildings and appara- tus the land would barely pay the tax es and creamery. So Ruth had quiet- ly postponed her wedding day, and her had shed a great many tears, and protested that she had rath. CT die than be burden to any one, but had gone on living, nevertheless.

 NATURAL HISTORY ILLUsTRATED.-
 MABEL s. MERRILL IN THE SPRING.
 FIELD REPUBLICAN,.
 '1 don't want you to go against your conscience, Ruth," said Dan, gloomi- ly. They were sitting side by side on the bench under the willow that over. hung the brook below the old Warren homestead, Ruth s home. The ancient brick house, weatherbeaten but come. ly yet, lay above and behind them on a tree-shaded lift of land, with or chards and garden around it. In front of them the road wound down to the little white village on the lower land a mile away. It crossed the windings of the brook by means of a bridge, that, moss covered and vine draped, looked like nothing built by human hands, but rather like some product of Nature fashioned by the silent pow CTS of wood and field. A stray passer- by looked down now and then from the bridge to the seat under the willows, but all Swanstown was:.used to seeing Dan Ferrand and Ruth Warren to- gether. Swanstown knew all about their engagement-an old affair by this time-and that they would have been married in June almost two years ago but for Nancy.
 Nancy was Ruth's step-mother, and the homestead had been left by Ruth's father to Ruth, with the provision that his wife should have home there until the girls marriage. This was all very we'll, since he had willed to Nancy comfortable anchorage of her own in the neighboring town of Brookville. What had set all the Swanstown oracles proclalming at once was the solemn injunction given to Ruth by her dying father, that after her marriage she should on no account harbor her mother under her roof. Lydia Allen, who had been one of the watchers by the death-bed, was accus- toned to tell the story with much ef- feet.
 "He rig right up in bed," she would begin, "lookin' like ghost in his white nightgown." Mis- Warren-she didn't know no more about sickness than one O my spring pullets-had been tryin' to git him to drink some sage tea, an he was fractious and split it all down over him till he was sight to behold; he rig right up as quick as she went out with the bowl, and he pinted his finger at Ruth, leanin' over the footboard. Says he, Ruth, you've allus done just as told ye while I was a livin, an l hope you ain't going to begin to do any other way after I'm dead. When you get married you'll live here, O cours, seein' you're the last O the blood. Now you mind this, when you bring your husband into the house, your ma, she goes out of it. She's got place of her own that'll support her in comfort, an you tend to what say-none O your tryin' to live together. Don't ye let me hear on t in the next world,' says he, as if he'd been goin' over to the Four Cor ners, instead of heaven or the other place. I'll git up outer my grave if I l

The OUTLOOK.

The OUTLOOK.
 The Record It is worth while
 of 1903. to look on what has been done in 1903 that we may learn what we may expect for the year 1904. Last year was fairly fav- orable year, and as the products of ag- riculture measure in a way the outlook for prosperity, there is therefore, a fair chance of the year 1904 being a good year for business. The greatest drawback is the strike and labor trou- bles which will hinder successful busi- ness operations. It is to be hoped that the labor leaders will take warning and not imperil the interests of the whole country in their efforts for or ganized labor. Some of the figures of the years products are as follows: The yield ot hay lone of the staple crops) was 61, 3O5, ,s4o tons. This was the largest yield since 1898, and it would have been larger but for the floods of the early summer. The wheat crop was 63s million bushels and it would have been 800 million bushels but for the storms and floods. As it is, the yield has not been exceeded but three times. Corn reached the un- usual crop of 2,244, 100000 bushels, which is the second largest crop in value that was ever raised. Owing to the cold summer there is more soft corn than usual, which made the shrinkage. The South is growing more corn, which adds to the sum total. The potato crop was never exceeded but once and that was last year. Bar ley has 135, ,OOO, GOO credited to it and the oat crop was nearly up to the av- craze. The total number of animals received at the Chicago stock yards was 16, 900, and their value was es- timated at ITO million dollars. The exports for year were worth a billion and half of dollars and the imports about billion.
 Criminal We are not all saints
 Report in the United States
 for 1903. if one may judge from the criminal statistics of the year 1903. Nearly 5000 people met violent deaths (s,s7e of them) from quarrels, broils and highwaymen. There were 125 people who were executed for mur- der of their fellow-beings, 1O4 persons were swung into eternity by Judge Lynch and his mob with a rope or a stake and fire; 92 of jthese were in the south and 12 in the north, and of those in the south s6 were negroes and one was Chinaman. Mississippi and Louisiana each lynched a woman. The suicides are a growing host, the number in 1903 being s,597, where five years ago there were but about five thousand. Of the number who thus rashly took their own lives five thous- and were men and three thousand of them were women. Dependency is put down as the chief cause of death from this source and after 1t follow domestic infelicity and liquor. In fact the whiskey business is an important factor in all those matters of crime and death among the people of this great nation. If we could eliminate the liquor business in the United States 1t would be great blessing to the le- gitimate business of the nation. Let us hope that the whiskey trust will l not fool the whole people all the time.
 BenevolenceS Yet we are not |
 of 1903. altogether bad | as nation, for there are some good | works done by many kind hearts. The total of the benevolences for the year foot up over 7s million dollars, and
