TAFT THROWS GAUNTLET
Roosevelt Believed to Have Inspired
His Speech

Wastin gton. May 12.-That the
speech CT Secretary Taft at the ban
quet of the American Railroad asso-
citation, which amounted to direct
challenge to the railroads on the sub
ject of rate legislati II, was sanction
ed by the president and designed as
stroke in administration policy is
known in Washington
The speech of Secretary Taft was
Planned to contradict the impression
made by Secretary of the Navy Nor
ton in his speech on Wednesday. May
>. at the banquet CT the American
Railway guild. 1t is understood up
on reliable information. that rapid fire
exchanges have taken place in the
last week between the president ir
Colorado and members Of his official
family here It was decided that the
impression should rot be allowed tc
get abroad, apropos Of Morton's re-
marks. that the administration had
legislation.
Hence the presidents speech at
Denver Hence Secretary Tast's de-
claration before the assembled rail
road magnates Of the country, which
provoked a dramatic response on be-
talf Of the railroads by Stuyvesart
Fish, president Of the Illinois Central.
1t is clear that the president is cor.
ing back from the west mere possess
ed than ever Of his views on rate leg
islation.
But that the railroad men will relax
in their fight on the administrative
boliey is far from probable Sacr-ta.
" Taft frankly told the railroad men
that the administration weu'd insist
Gr rate legislation, and NJ Fish as
frankly announced tae determined 0p.
position Of the railroads. TIE issue is
souareiy defined, and the fact made
clear that both sides are ready TO
fight. Few think. however, that the
president can have is way in con.
gress. Senator Elkins continues ~
smile fat smile Ct satisfaction over
the outlook for the railroads in the
senate.

his honesty. It is said that it was
with difficulty that Threat could be in

A telegram mas been received at Sis
seton from Senator Kittrodge at Wash
ington that the president has approved
the 100000 payment asked by the Sis
seton Indians and that the same will be
made at once. This is most gratifying
news for the Indians, many of whom
are suffering for the want of food and
clothing and some have actually died
of starvation.
In answer to invitations sent out by
Mrs. J. T. Goodwin and Miss Mary
Moore large number of friends called
at the Goodwin home in the First ward
on Main street, last Friday evening.
The home was beautifully and appro-
priately decorated with the green.
Games to suit the day were, played. A
few musical selections were. rendered.
Refreshments were served to the many
guests. All present departed during
the small hours only wondering why
the time had passed so rapidly.

dinners ever served was that given by
the Catholic ladies at the court house
last Friday and the supper was just as
good ALI the advertisement needed by
the Catholic ladies next time will be
the date.
Norbeck & Nichols have made the
proposition to the city council that if
the city would put in the necessary
machinery to raise the water in the new
well and the well does not prove suffici-
ent in point of water supply, the firm
Will take the machinery off their hands
paying for the same and also all expense
to the city of installing and taking it
out any time within one year. 1t looks
as if Webster will have artesian water
in the mains in the near future as the
water from the new we'll has been
tested and pronounced by experts to be
a superior qaality of artesian water.
