sition Presented in Congress
for Some Time.

In the Senate yesterday during the
consideration of the provision IN the
agricultural hill authorizing the Score
tary OF Agriculture to accept gifts OF
land for forest reserves, Mr. Fulton OF
Oregon demanded a halt IN the policy
of establishing forest reserves tie de-
cIared that they were hindering progress
in Western States.
Mr.. Hansbrough of North Dakota SAID
he was authorized to state that two
great land grant railroad companies had
row in contemplation the transfer OF
many thousand acres of timber land TO
the Government. reserving the right only
TO remove matured timber.
MIR. Patterson of Colorado declared
that such a scheme would relieve the
land grand railroads from certain taxa
ton. and deprive certain States from
revenues
Mr.. Teller characterized the scheme as
the most nefarioIs and fool proposition
presented 20 Congress for some time.
He charged that hundreds of acres OF
Western land were being included in for
est reservations to protect corporations
from taxation. when the land so dis
posed of had been absolutely denuded OF
timber.
The bill was laid aside without final
action. and MI Long Of Kansas TOOK

The Life Guards are two regiments
of cavalry forming part of the British

soldiers, and every loyal heart is
proud of them. Not only the King 5
household, but yours, ours, every

The need of them is especially great
when the greatest foes of life, diseas-
es, find allies in the very elements as
colds, influenza, catarrh, the grip,
and pneumonia do in the stormy
month of March. The best way we
know of to guard against these dis
eases is to strengthen the system
with Hoods Sarsaparilla-the great
est of all life guards. 1t removes the
conditions in which these diseases
make their most successful attack,
gives vigor and tone to all the vital
organs and functions, and imparts a
genial warmth to the blood. Remem-
Der the weaker the system the great

"A stranger arrived in New Hope
Friday night with a bay horse and
open wagon and while at the Della
ware House acted and talked in such
manner as to arouse suspicion that
he had stolen the rig. Driving over
the river to Lambertville, he was fol-
lowed by Landlord Smith and Ed
ward Jennings. The fellow inquired
the road to New York, and as he was
driving ont York street he was headed
off by the two New Hope men and in
vited into hotel, where an offer was
made to buy lis horse. When one OF
the men tried to get into the wagon
the stranger interfered and shouted
Murder! Thieves! Police - etc. His
shouting brought others to the scene
| and he was used pretty roughly, som e
holding him while others searched his
clothing. Breaking away from the
crowd he ran down the street yelling
at the top of his voice. The last seen
of him was near the Pennsylvania
Railroad station and the Delaware
river The team was put up by the
police at the Belmont Honse stables.
Landlord Smith made a demand for
the property, claiming a right to the
same, as it was he who first suspicion
ed the man, followed him to New ,Jer
sey and succeeded in hindering him
from driving further, but the proprie-
tress of the Belmont House promptly
refused all demands and will hold the
property until the rightful owner is
| found.
Many persons believe the fellow
stole the horse and wagon, while 9th
ers believe he is innocent and con-
denim in severe terms the treatment
the fellow received from the crowd.
The greatest mystery Is, where is the
man who had the rig? The canal and
river being located where the fellow
was last seen, number of people hint
that, being thoroughly frightened, the
stranger may have committed suicide
or been drowned by accident.
