No Appropriation Made For Towels For
Congress.

Washington, July 19.-Members Of
the Fifty-ninth Congress have just dis
covered that congress In q fit Of abb
sent mindedness in the last session
struck out the appropriation that pro-
vides the clean towels used by mem
bers in the performance Of their daily
ablutions.
In the last appropriation there was
an item Of $4,000 for miscellaneous
items" Certain persons employed un-
der that appropriation were obnoxious
and they were legislated out of Office
by the insertion OF proviso reading:
Exclusive of salaries and labor"
The washing of the enormous mum.
Der of towels used on the House side
is paid for out Of this appropriation.
On the morning Of July the new leg
islative act went into effect, and the
clerk Of the committee on accounts
bumped at once into a condition that
confronted him. He decided prompt
" that washing. towels was labor
and, therefore, could not be paid for
out Of an appropriation that expressly
prohibited any payment for labor. The
matter was referred to the comptrol-
Ter of the treasury, from whose de-
cision there is no appeal, and he took
the same view. The question now is:
Is the Fifty-ninth Congress to wash it.

MANY DEATHS FROM HEAT.
Humidity Last Week Weakened Many
Conditions.

New York, July Is. - Despite the
slightly lower temperature and q
brisk northwest breeze, the deaths
from heat today reached the highest
number Of the summer, for there were

venezuelans Surprised That Special
Commissioner is Appointed.

Caracas, July 10. - venezuelans
were very much surprised on receiv-
ing the news that President Roose.
welt had appointed Judge Calhoun a
special commissioner to Venezuela to
investigate the claims Of the Ameri-
cans. The Constitutional, the govern.
ment organ, says:
III the claims of Americans or 9TH
ers existed they would have been al
ready heard before competent autho-
rites. 1t may be that the president
of the United States requires informa-

Harvey Swisher Alive. - The par
ents of Harvey Swisher the Brown
county farmer who disappeared mys-
teriously two months ago, have learn
ed that he is alive and is working on
farm at Luray, Russell county.
Swisher's disappearance caused quite
sensation among his neighbors in
Brown county, as 1t was believed that
he had been murdered by the Kicka-
poo Indians, his neighbors, who had a
grudge against him. One widely pub
lished story told Of finding the body
in grave near Netawaka, where It
had been buried alive. At one time
800 men were hunting the brush and
the streams near Netawaka looking
for Swisher's body.
Body In Hedge Fence. - The body
of an unidentified man was found in
a hedge fence north Of Hackney last

baling wire, which broke, letting the
body fall to the ground The man was
more than fifty years old and weighed
about 200 pounds.

Medical School Helping.-"T believe
the enrolment at the University of
Kansas will reach 1000 early In the
fall term" said G. o. Foster, registrar
al that institution. Mr.. Foster and a
larger force of assistants than ever
before employed for that service are
at work sending out catalogues and
answering inquiries for information
from prospective students. The es-
adjustment of medical school is
doubtless responsible for the increas-
ed number of inquiries, Mr.. Foster
thinks, and he believes that branch
will bring 400 more students to the
institution, while the increase in en-.
rollment in other schools and depart
ments will make up the balance Of
the 1000 expected to be in attend
ance.

The editors have had a big time
at their state meeting in Browns
vile. The HERALD men were too
busy to 60, but are sure those who
were fortunate enough to be pres
ent had the time of their lives,
and they deserve the best time on
earth. No class of men work
harder or more persistently for
their cities and counties than do
these same newspaper makers who
have been on a frolic this week.
When we get prosperous we are
going to romp with them.

The parcels post bill, for which
some papers and people are signing
is bill strictly in favor of the big
mail order houses and against the
interest of the retail merchant.
And it is against the buyer too,
for nine times out OF ten the mail
order purchase is not up to rec
concentrations, and is not as good
as the picture of it looked in the
catalogue.

The person who can meet re-
verses without a murmur and con-
tinue to labor with renewed ener-
gy, is bound to succeed in life, it
matters not what the stumbling
blocks and pitfalls may be which
obstruct his pathway. The man
who lives in the past, complain
ing continually of what he used to
be and what he would do if he
had to travel the same road over,
couldn't attain success if a sign
board stood in his path pointing
the way. 1t takes the hard knocks
of adversely, the experiences of
misfortune and failure to mend
the weak spots in his armor. His
tory shows that the man who has
attained the pinnacle of fame and
fortune had felt the hand of adj
yersity in his early career. He
who takes life easy, without ex-
erting himself to succeed or to
ward off failure, may enjoy life in
a way, but he can never have the
satisfaction of knowing and feel
ing the sweets of success. -Conroe
Courier.
