Last week was hay making and
hay raking one for the democrats
in the House OF Representatives.
They placed the republicans on the
spit and toasted them 20 rich
brown. In the first place the Hon.
John Sharp Williams, the able and
vigiIant floor leader Of the Minority
in the House, caughtthe republicans
mapping in the committee on the
judiciary, and when there was o
majority Of democrats present, and
obtained favorable reports on both
his resolutions aimed at the vitals Of
this republican administration. One
of those resolutions requested the
AFtofhgy es5s:sf sssssssss,rp. aaaa
House whether any investigation
was ever had ct his suggestion, Of
the so.called Anthracite Coal Trust,
and TO send to the House all reports,
papers and documents bearing on
the case. The other resolution re-
quested the Attorney General 10 in
form the House whether any crimi.
nal prosecutions have been institu.
ted By the Department OF Justice
against the individuals or corpora.
tions who were adjudged recently
by the Supreme Court Of the United
States, in the Northern Securities
casa. to be guilty ofhaving violating
the laws Of the United States, and to
sen1to the House all papers and
documents bearing upon any pro
secutions inaugurated or about TO be
inaugurated in that behalf.
These resolutions we're sleeping
peacefully in the pigeon holes OF the
desk Of the republican chairman Of
that committee, and there the re-
publicans intended they should
sleep and die Of hamilton or be
smothered 10 death They did not
want them ever to see the light Of
day, because they knew their REGAL
citrant Attorney General had moi
taken any action and would not take
any action in either case. When II
became known that John Sharp
Williams bad dug them out OF The
committee with favorable report,
and that the committee on rules
could not stiae them on account OF
the fact that they now come up as
privileged matter, there was con.
sternation on the republican side.

as tool Of the trusts and re-
Acfeant to his oath of Office, for which

The next gun shot the republi-
cans received was on last Saturday
when the Hon. w. Bourke Cochran, !
Of New York, simply tore the in
nards out Of them and strewed them
along the floor of the House. TWAS
a great speech and aroused the most

1t seems at present as though the
auditorium project was an assured
success. One committee was out
Tuesday forenoon and secured pledges
TO the amount Of 81 900.
Those visited seemed ready and
willing to do all they could to help the
enterprise and the labor OF the COM
mittec was made very agreeable be-
cause Of the good will extended them.
Several persons seen said: "If you are
in need Of more money, call again.
We must have the auditorium"
One subscriber, after he had agreed
TO take a certain amount OF stock
again hunted up member Of the
committee and said, "Don't make
the building too small. | had rather
increase the number of my shares by
several than TO have the enterprise

Hon. G. II. Stearns was one of the
very earliest settlers OF the Dakotas
and Of Brookings county. For thirty
two years he made Medary township
his home, residing on his farm up to
and at the time of his death. The
deceased was born in New Hampshire,
June IS, 1920, and in lS49 he was united
in marriage with Rachel S. Ellis.
In 1865 Mr.. Stearns moved to Chat.
field, Mimi, and remained there until
1863, when he went to Sioux City,
Iowa, where he engaged in the hotel
and livery business until he came tC
BroOkings county in 1872 and located
in the old village.of Medary, where be
erected the first shingled rooted house
in what is now Brookings county, and
where he resided until his death,
March 3rd, 1904. One son and one
daughter were borngto him, the son
alone. HI Stearns, surviving him, the
daughter dying when iust on the eve
Of womanhood, and the mother few

Always an energetic man until
recent years, when by reason Of age
and i'll health he was obliged to retire
from active labor. He was among the
first to visit California in l849, at

that state, and later spent some time
at Pixies Peak, Colorado, in the same
quest. He was member of the ter.

believed to be for the best interests OF

Food for Thought by the Average
American Husband

Are wives supported? Before a
de finite answer is given it would be
we II to understand clearly just what
is meant by the term supported. d"
Wives are in the great majority of
cases dependent upon their husband s
earnings for their shelter, food and
clothes, but they are not supported"
in the sense that children, are, or
pensioners, or objects of public
charity, writes Robert Webster Jones
in the March Housekecper In the
ideal marriage husband and wife are
equal partners. Two departments
engage the energy and attention Of
the firm. The earning department
and the home department. One is
as important as the other. Each re-
quires an expert, industrious, watch
full manager if the firm is to be sue
cessful.
The manager Of the earning depart
ment may bring home a pocketful Of
money every Saturday night, but with

not all his. 1t belongs TO the firm.
In managing the home. supcrintend-
ing Or preparing his meals, mending
his clothes to say nothing Of caring
for the children and performing the
thousand and one arduouS and nerve

the busy housekeeper, his wife is

the firm as he is, if not more. And

RURAL TELEPHONE LINES
Enterprising Business Men to Ex-

MesSrs. Wood Thompson, w. A.
Caldwell and j. ID. Wilson have
formed a company and will establish
rural telephone lines north, east, south

city. Already between fifty and sixty
miles have been laid out. Two car

as soon as frost Is out Of the ground
work will begin.
This cannot fail TO be splendid
thing for the farmers in this vicinity,
and will also prove beneficial TO the
city. The farmer, should he need a

A man of strict integrity and strong
convictions, true friend, kind and
helpful neighbo a wise and loving
father, he died as he had lived, loved
and honored by all with whom he had
been in any manner associated. His
death was not unexpected, being
caused by gradual breaking down of
his physical strength, due to old age;
his mental powers remaining strong
and vigorous to the last.
The simple but impressive burial
service Of the Protestant Episcopal
church was held at the home on Sat
urday last, the Rev. Arnold Luton
officiating, large number Of friends
and brethren being present and his
body was placed with Masonic hCnors
in its narrow house in Greenwood Cem-
etery by the members OF the craft Of
which he was so long a valued mem
ber.
This in a few words is the simple
story Of long and busy life, overlap
ping by nearly fourteen years the al
lotted span Of three score years and
ten, of a man who under difficulties,
beginni ypoor and friendless, acquired
a comr 3ncy by his own efforts, who
so live,I, that those who knew him best
appreciated him most and loved him
best and will be the better enabled by
the example of this strong character
to do well their own life work, that,
dying they may, like HIM, leave to the
world that heritage which a brave,
honest life alone can leavc-a spotless
