SYMPATHY FOR BURTON
"Tc See Such a Brilliant Star Eclipsed
Is Painful to Normal Souls"
ARE GOVERNOR HOCH'S WORDS.
His Colleagues Are Aggrieved To Such
Extent That They Are Ready to Vote
Him Out OF The Senate Unless He
Resigns.
Resigns.

Washington, April SENATOR Bur-
ton is credited with having been
guilty of an indiscretion in testifying
that other senators have been making
money on the side, and it is said
number of his colleagues feel ag-
grieved to such an extent that they
are ready to vote him out of the senate
unless he resigns. The talk among
the aggrieved senators is that they are
willing to give him reasonable time to
resign, and that if he does not do so,
they will vote for motion of expul-
sion. This feeling notwithstanding
it is still the prevalent belief that no
radical measures will be taken unless
Burton should come back and attempt
to occupy his seat. According to con-
sentative views, the sena will wait
until the result of the appeal is known.
Topeka-E. w. Hoch, in an editorial
in the Marion Record about Senator
Burton's conviction, says:
without reference to party or fac
Ion, everyone WHOSE poSOh 1nrooS
with common human sympathies must
feel sad over the fate that has befallen
Senator Burton. He is a gifted man.
He is almost brilliant in his intellec-
tuality. To see such star eclipsed is
painful to every normal soul. To wit
ness such a calamity to brother man
is occasion for profound sorrow. Only
ghouls rejoice in such catastrophes.
Only those capable of worse crimes
than they condemn are glad when such
a fate befalls an energetic human be-
ing. Especially will all be sorry for
the accomplished and lovely lady who
bears the senator's name and must
bear also full share of his shame

EUGENE WARES ORDER
Death Of The Pensioners VIII Offset
New Pensions.
ROLL DIMINISHING VERY RAPIDLY
This Decrease VIII Equal Any Gains by
Claims of Soldiers who Have Reach
ed the Age of si1ty-Five Years and
Upward.

Washington, Mar. 31.-In response
to resolution adopted by the senate
the secretary of the interior sent to the
senate copy of the pension order re-
Gently issued by the department and
also an estimate of the amount the
order will increase pensions annually.
The secretary's reply includes what
follows:
''The pension bureau estimates that
the order of March Is, 1904, will result
in an increased expenditure annually
of SIS, 500, 900.
1.-The amount the order will increase
pensions and particularly when the
same shall become fully operative, can
be only estimated. There are supposed
to be living today about $4,000 ex-
Union soldiers of the civil war. Of
these are pensioned under the act of
Jnly II, 1862. known as the general
law, about PCS, 900, and under the act
of June 27, 1890, about $4,000; aggre-
eating 693, 900, which. deducted from
the whole number of survivors leaves
900 who have not applied for pen
sions. To state definitely how many
of this number failed to serve the re-
quired ninety days and received final
honorable discharge would be impossi-
BILE. One-fourth seems fair estimate,
and reduces the number of 136, 500. To
say that $4,000 of these have reached
the age of e. and will apply, seems a
reasonable estimate. If these $4,000
are all placed on the rolls at Sc a
month, or s72 year, the output for
pensions will be increased S., 400, 900
annually.
''The pension roll is diminishing
rapidly, owing to deaths of benefciar
les, and in all probability this decrease
will offset any gains caused by claims
of soldiers who have reached the age
of 65 and upwards"

C. Harry of this place, says:
For years was in very bad health.
Every spring 1 would get so low that
l was unable to do my own work. l
seemed to be worse in the spring than
any other time of the year. l was
very weak and miserable and had
much pain in my back and head. l
saw Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised
last spring and began treatment of
them and they have certainly done me
more good than anything l have ever
used.
81 was all right last spring and felt
better than 1 have for over ten years,
l am fifty years of age and am strong
er to-day than I have been for many
years and 1 give Dodd's Kidney Pills
credit for the wonderful improve
ment."
The statement of Mrs. Harry is only
ore of a great many where Dodd's
Kidney Pills have proven themselves
to be the very best spring medicine.
They are unsurpassed as a tonic and
are the only medicine used in thou
sands of families.

commission grants my request. the

new fertilizer LAW.
Puts Penalty Upon The Dealer Who
Sells Fertilizers.

Topeka, April 1.-The last legisla-
ture passed a fertilizer law. 1t re-
quires the secretary of the board of
agriculture to look after commercial
fertilizers which are offered for sale in
Kansas and see that they are up to
standard.
The manufacturers of commercial
fertilizers are required to file with the
department of agriculture sample of
at least one pound, in a sealed glass
jar, and the manufacturers must pay
license of $50 year for each brand
of fertilizer.
The licenses must be paid each year
before May 1. The law did not go into
effect until the publication of the
statute book last June, so this is the
first time the licenses have become
due, and the department of agricul-
ture is now looking the matter up.
There is no compensation provided
for this work and no money appro-
priated for paying for samples taken
from the dealers. Accordingly Assist
ant Secretary Mohler looked up the
author the bill, E. B. Schermerhorn of
! Cherokee county, and he has deputized
Mr.. Schermerhorn to secure samples as
specified in the law.
The penalty for the violation OF the
law is all placed on the dealer who
sells the fertilizer and not on the man
tilizer is sold without the proper label
and analysis on the outside it is vio-
lation of the law and the dealer is
subject to the penalty.

Caribou, Me-. April 2.-Woodsmen
bring news that Bald Mountain, a
small, steep hill in the Tiboque valley,
few miles from the New Brunswick
line, has disappeared. In its place a
small lake now exists.
1t is believed the mountain dropped
out of sight during the earthquake of
of March 81, and that the tremcr
which then shook New England really
had It's birth in the Maine woods.
Bald Mountain was an odd-shaped
cone with extremely steep sides and
was seldom explored. The general
belief is that it was the crater of an
extinct volcano.
