Immediately after the opening of the
Senate today Mr.. Gibson introduced a
bill providing for the repeal of the desert
land act, and gave notice that he would
address the Senate upon it tomorrow.
Senator Proctor introduced bill ap-
propriating over two million dollars for
the purpose of establishing four perma-
nent military camp grounds and for the
enlargement OF the Chattanooga and
Chickamauga National Park.
HOUSE.
When the House met today, Mr..
Babcock arose to question Of personal
privilege growing out of the publication
in the Record by Mr.. Baker, of news
paper attack on Mr.. Babcock charging
that he abused the ranking privilege
by sending tons of matter to his dis
trict during the time of the weighing OF
the mails, so as to increase the compen-
sation of the railroads. The House
yesterday expunged the remarks of Mr..
Baker, from the Record. The news
paper matter printed in the Record,
Mr.. Babcock said, was taken from un-
warranted and slanderous campaign
documents circulated in his district e
defeat his denomination. The people Of
his district, he said, arosein their might
and nominated him. "The statement
is an absolute falsehood," he declared.
He said that he did not know when the
weighing of mails was conducted.
Mr.. Tawney suggested that the dates
for weighing mails were the secret OF
the postoffice officials.
Mr. Hull-"That's notso. / am asked
when | want the mails weighed"
Mr.. Butler-"So the gentleman is one
of the favored ones. Why l, have
never been asked in six years to dssig-
nate time for weighing mails in my
district. believe the gentleman should
be investigated" The House laughed

the wholesale price of beef seventy-fve

sixty cents and the maximum one dollar

ticularly in the congested parts oil the
city, took advantage Of the trusts action
to boost their prices from two to hVe
cents pound. And in this way are
the people robbed, but in measure 1t Is
their own fault, for they have it in their

No PLAN to comply with the decision
of the Supreme Court has yet been reach
ed by the officers of the Nothern Securl-
ties Company, but that something is IN
the wind is the general assumption in
Wall street, in view of the heavy inside
buying of the stock and the advance OF
two points in the price. A report is in
circulation that the company will make
application to the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals in Minnesota for an
extension of years time in which TO
comply with the decree that the stocks
held by the merger be redistributed,
but even if that is not granted, the
arrogance of the trust makes many be-
lieve that it will take its own sweet time
in complying with the courts order.

HORSE SAVES MASTERS LIFE.

HORSE SAVES MASTER LIFE.
/. A story of a horse that is q real
hero comes from Jackson, Tenn.
Bob" Hunt, a stockman, owns q
beautiful gray stallion and 9 fine
Jersey bull. The latter is 9 vicious
animal and Oh more tha one ioccas-
/ ion has shown pugnacious DISPOSE
ton. Usually pitch fork serves to
brighten him off from about the
barn or pasture. ..-a,, a.
Last week Mr.. Hunt, in company
with a small boy, was crossing the
pasture leading the stallion. Sud:
denly the bull appeared on the scene
and showed evidence of wanting to
fight. Mr.. Hunt gave the halter
rein to the boy and thought he
would drive the irate animal away.
The bull started to fee, but changed
his mind after running a short dis
tnce, and, discovering that his pur-
suer did not have the dreaded pitch
fork, he lowered his head and charg-
ed upon his master.
Mr.. Hunt attempted to..run and
fell: The bull butted him as he pass
ed, and it looked for a moment as if
Mr.. Hunt would be gored to death.
The boy dropped the rein OF the
stallion and started for help.
It was then that the noble animal
proved himself faithful to his mas
ter and was d real hero. Rearing
on his hind feet with snort of def
ance, he bore down upon the bull,
which in the meantime had return
ed second time upon Mr.. Hunt and
was about to trample him to death.
Hhe horse bit large piece of ''beef
and hair'' out of the bulls back at
the opportune moment, and, wheel
ing, planted both rear heels in the
ribs of his opponent, almost sending
him to the earth and causing him to
roar with pain. The bull left his
PROSTATE victim and fed in terror
with, the horse pursuing him, TAX
ING chunks of the hide and flesh ev-
cry few steps, until he had been
chased to the bottom. The horse
then returned to his master.

there John Speicher, who is the gen

addition to his residence.
Not a few of the residents having
become Disguised with everything

sApPENDICITIS

York, Feb. ~. Appendicitis
which recently brought Senator
Clark to tine verge VI the grave and
calead the death Of William q. Whit
ney IL for the tims being the most
talked Of disease in New York.
tiks cancer,it il one Of the grow
ain6 maladies Of mankind hut, unlike
cancer it has been outstripped BY
sciAnce in the world wide race be-
tween disease and death
The satisfies Of the health depart
mont show, that 1888 persons died
from appendicitis in Manhattan Dor
#Ough in 1908. t5
OF that mum Der, 1859 were males
and ia were females.
Although appendicitis may attack
babes as we'll as the aged, the great
est liability to the disease is at the
very time when the system is at it's
meximum vigor, namely, between
thirty and thirty-tire years old.
Apprehension of appendicitis is
better founded than the fear of any |
other mortal affection; because it is |
the one disease which no exercise of
human ingenuity can guard against.
DR.. William Hs Guilfoy, registrar
ofvital statistics of Greater New
York, said yesterday: when scien-
tific medical attention was first turn
edsto- appendicitis it was believed
that the disease was due to the
Judgment of grape, apple and other
seeds and substances in the appendix
vermiforpis. !
Later Investigations have shown
that appendicitis is due, in the great
majority of cases, not to seeds or go
called foreign substances, but to
accumulation in appendix of ordi-
nary waste matter from the soma0h
and inestines, which sets up an infla
nation. This is often due to seden-
tary habits, but not necessarily 80.
There is no guarding against ap-
pendicitis There are no statistics
3or observations to show that ap-
pendicitisis is due to any particular
posture of the body as at desk; or
to any special habits Of life or anx-
ETY., or to overfeeding, or underfeed
ing. There is no evidence Of any
inherited tendency. It does not run
Lin families. Anybody may have it
without warning.
there are two kinds of appendi-
citis-catarrhal, or chronic, and
acute. The former may persist for
years, and is not reckoned as usually
fatal. It occurs and recurs. For
acute appendicitis, due to the irrita-
ting contents ,of the appendix, when
suppuration occurs, there il no
chance Of life save through the use
Of the surgeon g knife, and then only
by it's prompt use."
In New York, as elsewhere, the
strong preponderance of appendicit~
is among mon. In cancer, on the
other hand, the strong prePonder-
ance is among women. '4.y

When Idaho became a state it con-
tanned only two parties of any conse-
quence. republican and democratic, and
they were pretty evenly matched. The
first three state elections We're carried
by the republicans. and during these
periods our senators and representa-
tives were republican. The next three
elections were carried by the demo-
Gratis and the political mixture with
which the democrats trained. but not
at any time during those six years did
the state of Idaho have a democrat in
either the senate or the house of rep
resentatives. 1t is a singular thing.
that. notwithstanding there were al
ways distinguished and able democrats
seeking these positions. but always.
whether for the senate or the house of
representatives, Idaho democrats have
chosen to send to Washington to rep
resent them and to aid in shaping the
national policy of their party some po-
.itical freak or monstrocity rather than
plain democrat.
Idaho now has in the senate a So
called democrat who became a member
of that party after he had forced the
democrats OF the state to elect him sem
ator. He is now engaged in preparing
an issue upon which he desires to re-
turn to the senate. 1t remains to be
seen whether or not there is sufficient
courage left in Idaho democrats to re-
fuse to be driven by one who has not
now and never had any claims upon
them for support.

VALUE OF THE METER SYSTEM


come up with the opening of the irri-
cation season. and the council is
struggling with a plan to meet the re-
quirements of the hour. The evils due
to wasting water. and the proper rem
edies therefor. constitute the hardest
problem coming before municipal and
company water works managers
Most of the waste is due to the mis-
use of water and an entire disregard
for the stated regulations for it's use
and it is maintained that the meter
system is the best method for prevent
ing this enormous waste. BY the use
OF the meter the user is called to strict
account for what water he consumes
and under no other condition is this
possible
The method of measuring lawn sur
face and charging pro rata is far from
just or equitable. For instance one
man has 1000 square feet and his
neighbor has three times as much and
they are 50 rated on the books and pay
accordingly. But both are attached
to the mains by the same sized pipes
and are bound by the rules OF the COM
pany by the same hours OF service and
when the time to sprinkle comes, both
men turn loose from the same sized
taps and with the same connections
With the mains and Let the water run
for the same length Of time. The man
with the larger area to trrisate has the
most work to DO to get the water dis
tf1bufed over his lawn but he gets no
mDre water In the allotted time than
TIN man WITH the smaller lot, works
harder T. st It distributed and pays
thEee times - mech 6nr the privilege.
It ought to be the policy Of the city
% build and beautify the homes and
lawns and encourage such improve
snents. with this end In view the cost
u water Tor such purposes should be
cut to the minimum. and to make 1t
just and equitable each user Of water
should pay for what he gets. The only
way to do this is to install the meter
sytem.
It has been the experience in all cities
where the meter system has been inau-
Gurated that the per capita consump-
ton Of water has materially decreased
and this Is due to the fact that less
water Is wasted and each consumer be-
ing called to account for his use Of the
water has a tendency to check his bill
within the very minimum Of his actua
needs, consequently the cost OF fur.
nishing the city will be less and the
service rate can be lowered.
