Treasury Department, Office of
the Secretary, Washington, Dee.
1S, 1903.--Sir: ] have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of the reso
luton of the senate of December
IL, 1908, as follows:
''Resolved, That the secretary Of
the treasury report to the senate
what amount, if any, would be due
to the state of Missouri on account
of interest and other incidental ex-
pences paid in connection with the
loans procured in raising troops to
aid the United States in suppress
sion'of the rebellion, 1S61-65, if
the claim were allowed under the
same principles and rules of evil
dence allowed in claims of the
states Indiana, Pennsylvania, Mas
sachusetts and other states, settled
under the provisions of the act of
July 27, 1861, and joint resolution
of March s, 1862, as directed by
act of February IA, 1902 (32 Stat.
L., 30).
In reply thereto l have the honor
to state that the auditor of the war
department reports under date of
the 18th inst, that upon examina-
ton of the claim of the state of
Missouri on file in his office it is
found that if the claim were al
lowed under the same principles
and rules of evidence applied in
claims of other states under the
provisions of the act of July 27,
1861, as amended there would be
due the state of Missouri the sum
of S475, 1913. 13. Respectfully,
H. A. Taylor,
Acting Secretary.

He therefore, in speech before
the House, declined to hold his
seat and advised the seating of his
opponent.
lie was in no way responsible
for the preparation of the fraud
and was not even aware that it had
been committed until the evidence
had been adduced before the cleo
tions committee.
Is it any wonder that Mr.. Sha-
forth's action astounded the Re-
publicans?
They were so dazed that they
could not recover in time to con-
graduate the retiring member.
Their action was in significant
contrast to that of the Democrats,
who, the report says, "arose almost
en- masse and extended personal
expressions Of sympathy and en-
couragement."
Who ever heard of a straightout
Republican Congressman doing
such a thing as Shaforth did?
Whoever heard of one of them
refusing to accept seat because
OF little thing like fraud?
On the contrary, we know that
partisan elections committees have
fraudulently seated Republican
contestants against honestly cleo
ted Democrats.
The Shaforth incident is es-
pecially interesting to st. Louis
ans just now by virtue of the Rey-
nolds-Butler contest. Every per-
son in st. Louis, including George
D. Reynolds, knows that James j.
Butler was fairly and squarely
elected as Congressman from the
Twelfth Missoori District.
In view of the Shaforth incident,
will the Republican majority in
Congress dare repeat it's previous
outrages and unseat Mr.. Butler?
Has the Shaforth case no lesson
for George D. Reynolds?
Americans are proud of John F.
Shaforth because he proved him.

The Warm Weather Prophet.

BY C. C. X.
A fellow down in old Miss-zoo
Forecast a winter mild;
This made the ice man somewhat blue
Twas seldom that he smiled.
Well have pleasant, balmy year,
No heavy wear to buy;
No snow and ice to interfere,
Said that warm weather 'guy."
No wood to cut, there'lI be a chance
To live at ease and rest;
Yes, winter in our summer pants,
They'll stand the winters test.
But now that prophets made sneak,
The ice man wears smile:
The ice and snow have drifted deep
About the prophets pile.
OF wood, It's there he takes a glance,
While shivering in the cold,
Dressed in his worn out summer pants,
So threadbare and so old.
He swears he never will forecast
A winter warm and fair;
He longs for spring to come-and fast;
He fears his pants will tear.
Ere winter drear and icy goes,
He'll have to buy pair
Of heavy ones, my friends, he knows,
Which will the cold impair.
met him Just the other day,
Its mighty cold, "Gee Whiz!"
These are the words | heard him saw:
"I'll quit the weather Biz"

Letter From Hon. w. D. VandiveP.

Ed. Register I'm this week.
edition of your paper I notice an
article criticising my position in
the Governorship race, and espec-
tally my attitude on the Butler
case. AS you have generally been
fair-minded and have spoken of
me in very friendly terms in your
columns, | feel that you will not
deny me brief hearing in them
now. In fact | have SO often found
you on the right side of public
questions that | am somewhat sur
prised to find you on the wrong
side of the Governorship fight. Ii
you were specially in favor of some
particular candidate and merely
advocating his cause, it would not
be so strange, but as your whole
fight seems to be negative, merely
to beat Folk, and not to champion
any particular candidate, many OF
your old friends are at loss to
understand you.
| cannot believe that you are
irritated with Mr.. Folk simply be-
cause of the exposure of Senator
Frank Farris, whose cause you so
ably espoused in the last campaign.
Neither can | believe that it is
merely because Mr.. Folk has
prosecuted Butler and the other
boodlers, although your criticism
OF Folk in this connection would
lead a stranger to believe that you
were feeling agrieved at the prose-
cutor. | say that I am surprised
because you are too good man to
be found in the company you are
in. And your paper has so often
stood up for right and justice, it is
a mystery to many of it's readers
that it has turned it's guns against
good government, as represented
by Joseph w. Folk, who, in my
humble judgment, has done more
for the cause of good government
in the last three years than any
other man in America.
But the particular point to which
| call your attention now is the
Butler case in Congress. Your
paper, quoting from the Nevada
Mail, charges me with inconsist-
ency because | excuse Mr.. Folk fo1
declining to vote for Butler for
Congress, when / myself voted to
keep him in Cong ess when his
seat..was contested here. Now in
all fairness, know you are too
clear-headed a man to consider
that an inconsistency, because the
question at issue when Butler was
a candidate for election in st.
Louis was the original question OF
fitness; while the question pre-
sented to me as member of Con-
gress, voting in a contested cleo
ton case, had not to do with the
fitness of the man, but only as to
whether he was elected or not.
AS a Democrat, I believe that
each State is entitled to elect its
Congressman in its own way. |
voted for Butler to retain his seat
because believed that his district
had elected him, and | will vote
the same way again if the present
contest comes to vote in the
House, unless the evidence is
sufficient to convince me that he
was not elected, and I say frankly
that if the people of that district
elect the devil himself they are en-
titled to have that kind of repre-
sentation, but whether / would vote
to elect him if l were a citizen of
that district is entirely different
thing. Perhaps | would if | found
