POISON CHOLERA VICTIMS.
Heroic Measures Practieed In Buanos
Ayrss to Check Spread Of
Disease.

"Some years ago found myself
in the city of Buenos Ayres at a
time when the cholera was raging
in that capital" said D. j. Aur.
buckle, of New Orleans, to 8
Washington Post man.
1t happened that as walked
along a public thoroughfare one
dav While the plague was at its
height saw man fall to the
ground, and l surmised that he
had been stricken with the dread
disease. Before reaching him ]
noticed a policeman approach the
unfortunate and administer a
drink to him from a bottle which
l had no doubt contained a restor-
ative or some kind of medicine.
At the same time the policeman
blew his whistle for an ambu,
lance.
tThe vehicle came very quickly.
and yet before it arrived the man
was dead, and it was a corpse that
was removed. ! remarked to the
officer that the medicine had beeu
of no avail. Certainly not, senior,
he answered, 1T was not medicine
l gave him, but a deadly poison.
That is the way we have to do now
to check the spread of the chol-
era. Besides, the man would have
died anyway
81 never experienced a deeper
feeling of horror in my life and
ooked on the policeman in the
light of a murderer. Yet he doubt
less regarded what he had done as
in the nature of a disa agreeable ne
cessity, and, politely bidding me-
adios, went his way"

to Be Veteran, Enjoy life W hen
Wares Are Soid.

There 10 one person at least who
does not agree with Russell Sage
in his theory that vacation is un-
necessary. A man with a wooden
leg and wearing soldiers uni
form stood for a long time in Park
Row selling guide books and maps
of Greater New York to strangers
from out of town. He gained dsome
celebrity because of the efforts of
a policeman new TO the beat to
oust him from his stand, relates
the, New York Times.
"Sure you're no soldier; you're
only d fake" declared the guardi-
an of the peace.
"I'm a soldier all right, and
don't vou forgit it. l lost me leg
in the Spanish war and I've me pa.
pers ito prove it," stoutly protest
ed the vendor of guide books.
The bystanders at once took the
side sof the veteran who could
@show his papers," and the police
man ceased to molest thin. He
soon disposed of all his stock in
trade to the sympathizing crowd
and the following day the hotly
contested spot was occupied by q
man in citizens clothes.
"Where's the soldier" inquired
one of his yesterdays customers
"Oh, he's gone on his vacation
! was the unexpected reply Of the
substitute. 80. j..

AT PIERRE.
The House Tackles Primary Law
Bili-Rsutine Business
and Bills.

flerre dispatch, 10: The senate held
a very short session Saturday, only
presenting new bills appropriating
"a, 300 for printing by committee and to
amend the liquor license law to allow
a license vote to stand when once taken.
An adjournment was then taken to
listen to the house decision of the prim-
airy matter.
Practically the whole of the afternoon
was taken no in the house with this
question. While the house decision
took about the same as the senate deci-
| sion it did not call out the acrimony in
| remarks which went with the senate
action. The matter started with a
motion by Stokes, the chairman. to
adopt the adverse committee report,
and Turner of Faulk another member
or the committee, moved the substitu-
tlon OF minority report which favored
the bill.
Carroll led for the minority report in
prepared set speech and was followed
by Turner OF Faulk in radical talk as
to the objections of the committee to
the petition, which, he said, were too
puer1le to be considered
Holman aud Rogde spoke for the
majority report, in which the former
declared that the members Of the house
were expected to dc their duty as they
considered the right of any matter and
that the petition presented was faulty
that he could not consider it as a peti.
ton at all conforming to legal require
ments. Rogde declared that the peti-
tion showed evidence that portion of
the law desired which gave county
local option provisions had been attach
ed after the names had been secured
and was too faulty to be considered.
Apland, one of the silent members,
took strong position for the primary
law and declared it to be the duty of
the Legislature to enact it. even if there
were some minor irregularities. His
talk was that of an old farmer, and he
was cheered several times before he
tini shed.
The vote as taken showed 3S support
ing the committee and A. the minority
report. AS the matter has already been
killed for the session by the senate ac
tion this vote is only for the purpose
of getting a record.
The only other business of the house
was the introduction of few bills the
one being to strike out the
law protecting beavers, by the live
stock committee to allow clerks of |
courts TO adjourn matters before the |
conrt in absence of the judge. by the |
judiciary committee. and a peddlers |

PRESIDENT GIVES UP IDEA OF
SECURING RAILROAD RATE
LEGISLATION.
HOPES FOR SOME ACTION NEXT FALL
EXTRA ASSEMBLY OF CONGRESS
WILL BE CALLED IN THE
EARLY AUTUMN.

Washington, Feb. 81. - President
Roosevelt, who for weeks has been
hopeful that some definite action might
be taken at the present JSssion of con-
gress on the railroad rate question,
practically has relinquished the idea
of securing legislation on the subject
this winter. 1t is reasonably certain
that he will not call an extraordinary
session of congress to meet in the
spring, but unless he changes his mind
he will call congress together probably
next October. Representatives Esch
and Townsend, joint authors of the
rate bill which passed the house, had
a talk with the president during the
day. They outlined the rate situation
in congress as they have found it.
They agreed with him that the pros
pect for the enactment of rate legisla-
tion at this session was remote They
indicated that, if no action was taken
at this session, the subject would be
considered thoroughly during the com
ing summer with the idea of present
ing a measure at the next session
which very likely would contain some
additional features.
AS they left the White House both
Messrs. Esch and Townsend expressed
the conviction that an extraordinary
session would be called for next au-
tumn to deal with the rate question

Author of Resolution to Investigate Oil
Interests.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Representa.
tive Campbell of Kansas, the author
of the resolution providing for an in
quiry into the operations of the oil in
terests of the country, had an extended
conference with President Roosevelt
during the day regarding the investi-
cation, Mr.. Campbell presented to the
president considerable information
bearing on the matter which he has
received since the adoption OF his res
olution. He informed the president he
had received from the speaker of the
house of the Texas legislature a tele-
gram urging him TO request the presi-
dent and the department of commerce
and labor to extend the proposed in
quiry TO the methods of the Stand
ards Beaumont field in Texas. He also
told the president he had received hun
dreds of kilograms and letters daily
from all sections regarding the inves-
tigation. The Standard Oil company,
Mr.. Campbell informed the president.
already was preparing its defense and
would resist to the utmost the gov
ernment's investigation. The re-
sumption by the company of the pur-
chase of Kansas oil. he said, undoubt-
edly was decided upon in view of the
action taken by the house of represen-
tatives in requesting an investigation.
