called upon the king of kings" The
first mistake of the Englishman was
to seek an audience Immediately after
the king had dined too literally with
his court. The second was his choosing
as interpreters two utterly incompetent
men. The ~inctticiency of this pair SO
angered the dusky monarch that then

sight, turned around and bit his
thumb" Now, he was not aware of
it, but to bite the thumb Is in Abys-

ance. The quick eye of the king
caught the innocent menace and he
had the missionary also beaten. From
that sprang the war, the defeat of the

Justice Milburn dissented, saying.
in his opinion, the defendant was not

showed that Newman purchased
bounty claims at a discount, signed
in blank by the person who killed the
animals, and then raised the cer,iti-

kansas Farmers In session.

TOPEKA, Oct. 24.-Plans for oppos-
ing the packing companies and the
combination Of dealers were discussed
at the meeting Of the Farmers Ma.
tional Cooperative congress today.
Schemes to be used to break the
force of the packing trust, so.called,
were decided upon and will probably
be put into execution.
One is that the members of the con.
gress will try to cure the majority OF
the meat which they use themselves,
and they also will cure meats for the
markets. The other plan il to have
an agent in each county who will
handle al. the stock of the members
and ship to another agent at the mar
ket, who will sell direc, to the pack.

The Ears Of Insecta.

Simply because a bee has no ears on
the sides Of its head 1t is no sign what.
ever that 1t is wholly without some
sort Of an auditory nerve. This is
proved by the fact that g~rasshoppers,
crickets, locusts and flies all have their
ears situated In queer places-under
the wings. on the middle of the body
and even on the sides of their legs.
The common house fly does its hear
Ing by means Of some little rows of
corpuscles which are situated on the
knobbed threads which occupy the
place which are taken up by the hind
wings Of other species of insects. The
garden slug or shelless snail has its
organs of hearing situated ON each
side of it's neck, and the common
grasshopper has them on each Of its
broad, fat thighs. In some of the
smaller insects they are at the bases
OF the wings and in others on the bot.
tom of the feet.

DIXON AND WALSH DEBATE
Rival Campaign Orators Applauded BY
Their Political Friends.

TOWNSEND, Oct. 21.-Thomas J.
Walsh. the democratic candid ate for
congress, and Representative Joseph
NJ. Dixon, a republican aspiraut for
the United States senate, met here to.
night IN the only joint debate of the
campaign. The Auditorium. which
accommoda tes more than 1000 per.
sons, was packed at s o'clock, half an
hour before the mixed deleg alton ar
rived from Helena on a special train.
They came 200 strong, mostly demo.
Gratis, but with a brass band and a fife
and drum corps TO give q touch Of
high life to the demonstration.
Mr.. Walsh and Mr.. Dixon appeared
upon the stage almost simultaneously
aud were greeted with a storm of ap.
plause by the big audience, which
seemed determined to distribute its
favors impartially. Attorney Cen
eral a. j.. Galen led the republican
delegation. most of whom came from
Helena. and Odell Mcconnell mar
shaded the democrats, who outnum.
bered their political opponents 10 to |.
The Galen cohorts were on hand
with a college yell for Charles Pray,
but Mcconnell was there with a most
tumultuous fife and drum corps that
succeeded in drowning out every effort
made to get up a cheer for the Chou
teau republican candidate for con-
gress. DR.. Belcher, chairman of the
county democratic committe, opened
the symposium by Introducing Mr..
Walsh. the challenged, and allotting
the time to be occupied by each
speaker.
Ten minutes were spent shouting for
Mr.. Walsh. The fife and drum corps
shrieked and shrilled. The small re.
publican wing of the audience made
up in noise what it lacked in numbers,
and the audience, enthusiastic 10 de-
gree, rose to its feet and screamed for
the forensic battle to begin.
Walsh produced the nails aud drove
them home. Dixon put putty in the
holes and covered up the handiwork
OF his opponent. Walsh was incisive,
passionate, concrete and graceful in
his delivery. Dixon was pleasanter,
more humorous and condes.
cending. Walsh was grave, deter.
logical. Dixon was merry,
vague and cocksure. It was not a de.
bate at all. 1t was a contrast between
:wo widely divergent styles Of orators.
1t was a tense drawing Of the lines
which separate the two parties in this
lection.

Vote FOR REMOVAL
EXPENSES OF COURT WITNESSES
COMPARED.
n. S. HOdgOn Makes Good Point for
Court House Removal, in a Letter
to the HOquiam WaShingfOnian.
Expenses of Witnesses Now Very
Heavy.

Editor Washiugtonian:
Dear Sir: While there have been
numerous articles for and against the re-
moval Of the county seat from MOntesa-
no to Hoquiam, there is one point that
has not been very clearly brought out,
vix., the standing of the witnesses finan-
cially. 1t has been said, and, l think,
can be proven, that three-fourths Of the
Montesano. Ii this is true, let US see
how the county and witnesses come out.
In many Of the state cases, witnesses
are held in MontesanO, two, three and
even four days, waiting for cases to be
called. For each witness in state case
that is subpoeaned from Hoquiam, the
county pays in mileage, 80 per diem; if
the witness is held three days, at ~ per
day, IS, total Of 80 that the county
pays.
Now, how about the witness? First
he pays to the N. p. II. Il. for a round
trip ticket, 80 cents, three days board
and lodging at Montesano, So, making a
total Of So 80 as the very least expense
that the witness could get off at. Ex-
penses OF 80 80 from so would leave the
witness So 10 for his remuneration for
the three days spent at TIE court house.
How would it figure out with the
court house on the proposed site at Ho-
GUAM? The witness coming from Ho-
quiam could be called in one hours
time and need not be detained from his
business until his presence was wanted.
Then the county would be out only his
per diem ~ and mileage 20 cents, a saw
lug to the county OF IS 80 for each wit.
| ness.
While the witness would not lose to
exceed one halliday with an expense of
10 cents for street car fare, which would
leave him 50. 10 for his half days work
at the court house. While this has been
| figured out as for state case 1t holds
good in civil cases. 1t seems to me that
when the voters of Hoquiam consider
the matter in the right light, there
should not be one vote against removal
but every vote should be for it, and that
every voter should see that his ballot is
marked for Removal" for no one
knows when he may be the one who will
be called to give his testimony in some
case, whether the county pays the bill
or whether it is paid by an individual.
Let every one vote for removal.

Needs Money for Expenses.
To All Democratic Voters:
If there ever was time in the history
of the democratic party tor the nantes
tation of loyalty and patriotism on the
part Of its members, it is right now.
If we are to win victory and elect a
president two years hence, we must first
elect house OF representatives this fall
A democratic house can and will investi
gate every department of the government
With all of them honeycombed by
graft" the edges of which only, have
been touched by recent exposures and
prosecutions, there will be revelation
of rottenness that will astound the coun.
try, and create a demand for demo.
cratic administration to clean the govern
ment workshop.
To win the house we need money to
defray legitimate expenses and get out
our vote. We have no protected monop.
olies from which to draw to fill our Golfers,
as they do those OF the republican party.
We must, therefore, appeal to loyal
democrats for contributions.
Will you send us $l.00 at once, and in
return for this we will send you copies
OF our campaign literature issued by the
committee. You will have the thanks of
the entire democratic party for your
favorable response to our request.
Address all remttances to
