Caldwell, Kan, Dec. 22.-The con-
gested condition of the yards OF the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail-
way in this city may be taken as a
partial cause OF the shortage OF coal
in western Kansas towns. Friday
morning there were over 200 loaded
cars here and but one engine to pull
them towards their various destina-
tons.

HAD NO AUTHORITY
Secretaries Hitchcock and Wilson
Called Sharply to Account by
a Senate Committee.
THEY VIOLATED THE Law
They withdrew Indian Land FROM
Allotment and Had Planned
Forest Reserve ON Their
Own Account.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Admittin9
that they had no authority Of law fol
the withdrawal from allotment Of
nearly 100000 acres of land belong
ing to the five civilized tribes In In
dian territory for the purpose Of
creating a forest reservation, two
members of the presidents cabinet
Secretary Hitchcock, Department OF
Interior, and Secretary Wilson. De
parrment of Agriculture, endeavoreu
Wednesday to justify their course by
stating they had the best interest Of
the Indian at heart.
The explanation was made before
a select senate committee which is in
vestigating affairs in relation to the
property rights Of the five tribes but
the committee declined to accept 1t
and Senators Clarke of Wyoming,
Teller Long and Brandegee declared
that the interior department had sus-
pended statute of the U. s. without
authority and that 1t was the duty of
Secretary Hitchcock to Immediately
cancel his order Withdrawing the land
from allotment. The same senators
said to Secretary Wilson and Chief
Forester Clifford Pinchot that 1t was
their duty to withdraw their request
to the secretary of the interior for a
suspension of allotments.
The order withdrawing the land
from allotment was issued early in
the present month. The purpose was
not stated publicly at the time but
1t developed during earlier inquiries
by the committee that the depart
ment of agriculture planned to create
forest reserve within the withdrawn
lands which would contain about L.
5000 acres.
Secretary Hitchcock, when called
to the stand, said that he had asked
the forest service, division of the
agricultural department, to report up
on a request Of Jock Gordon of Paris,
Texas, and associates, that they be
permitted to buy 100000 acres for
game preserve and that IN making an
adverse report the forst service ask
ed for the withdrawal of the lands
for a forest reserve. Mr.. Hitchcock
said the suspension was only tenn
porary and designed for the purpose
of determining what was the best In
terest of the Indian.
"You have no right to suspend the
operation Of q statute one hour, not
one minute" declared Senator Teller.
IF you had the right to temporarily
hold up the application Of law you
could suspend its operation for a
month, q year, or two years."
In reply to questions from sena-
tor Long, Hr. Hitchcock said that the
request Of Secretary Wilson had
prompted his action.
Turning to Secretary Wilson, SEN
ator Long asked:
1--WE want to know under what
authority you requested the with
drawal Of these lands from allot-
ment"
81 never looked at an authority"
replied Secretary Wilson. II made
nm nv mind that We had q better
uroposition for the Indian than to
turn his land into a game preserve.
The right to withdraw the land was

Plumage is the milliners' one thought
now. 1t should adorn little hats, big hats,
toques, turbans or broad trimmed shapes.
There has never been more picturesque
headwear than at the present season, not
since the days Of a Rubens or a Rem
brandt.
Rich velvets, handsome felt shapes,
plumes, and beautiful fancy feathers;
fine ribbons and tasteful ornaments are
the designers implements of art.

Plumes lend their graceful beauty to
autumn headwear.
Black velvet hats are perfectly lovely for
children : quite apropos.
Autumn's leading shades are browns,
taupe or elephant gray, Bordeaux myrtle,
Yale blue castor.
The important trimming for dress hats at
fine millinery establishments like Keith
O'Brien's are ostrich or flowers.

GENERAL NEWS.
200 People Buried.

More than two hundred people were
buried Tuesday in the ruins of the
market of Monte Oliveto, in the
center Of Naples, when the roof col
lapsed under the weight of einders
from Vesuvius.. Before noon the
bodies had been removed, and 17S
injured persons rescued. The court
yard: six hundred feet square, and
rooted, was crowded with buyers and
their children, it being the time of
day when trade was most brisk.
Vesuvjus in Eruption.
The eruptions from Mt. Vesuvius
which began last week continue, and
ashes and cinders cover the ground
and 70 ofs Of buildings TO a depth of
four inches. The railroad service out
of Naples is interrupted. The engi-
neers refused to take out the trains
owlng to the darkness caused by the
heavy fall of ashes. The Mattino
asserts that Sarno, town of about
1O. 600 people in the province OF Sal
emo. ten miles east Of V, savius, has
been destroyed, but it is impossible
vet TO verify the report. The Mat
tho also says that fifty houses, three
churches, and municipal buildings at
Somma have collapsed; that the mass
of sand and cinder5 is six feet deep
there, and that all the Inhabitants
haze sought safety in Fl ght. The
manic in Naples is increasing. The
prisoners in the city jail mutinied
from fright and broke open some
doors but were subdued. Their great
excitement requires doubled Guards.
The loss to property thus far is esti-
mated at 10000, 900, and it is an
nounced that $4,000 persons have
been rendered homeless.

There Is an apparent congressional
light on in the secon1 distric. AS we
announced last W elk Bell is candi-
date against Haskins. Bell is a good
s man, has made an exceptionally able
governor, is a man of sound judg-
pept, in fact is typical Vermonter;
and this paper has always upheld Bell
in his Grange work, a great work, a
work that is helping to build up Yer
mont's greatest interests, the agricul-
tural interests. In fact we have
nothing but praise for Bell, but he is
not our man for Congress. Haskips
is 80 situated that he can at present
do more for Vermont and Vermonters
in Congress than any Other man.
Haskins has a record hard to beat, he
has accom- plished everything he has
gone after, and he has gone after
some important measures. Haskins
is a member Of the Grange, is on the
agricultural committee at Washing
ton, and has probably done as much
for Vermont farmers during his terms
In Congress as has Sell in the same
length of tins through the Grange.
Haskins is also acquainted with Wash
ingtou parties of influence, both in
agricultural circles and others. He
knows the ropes, and those who know
him know we have a good man in a
good place. Because someone else
who might make good congressman
wants The Office we do not believe in
kicking out n man who is working
hard, has just got acquainted with the
"ways of state" and IS coming mac,
and putting in the experiment. Look
at the recent stand Haskins took on
national insurance legislation: at the
time Of bis epeech he seemed to be on
the wrong side, but in the. end after
the careful consideration of the
judiciary committee they have re-
ported and the report is IN perfect
harmony with the stand Mr.. Haskins
took. OF the two candidates now in
the field we believe Haskins should
have the support of the people. Yer
mont has gained a name and repu
tation for soundness and sobriety at
Washington ard she has done it by
keeping her men there long enough
to become acquainted with things.

The Song of the Vermont Farmer.

The Song of the Vermont Farmer.
HOW dear to our hearts are mem'ries of past
springs.
When STOW at the proper time melted away;
When sap from the naples filled buckets
and holders,
Ard smoke from the sugar camps rose night
and day.
when April atterdedby sunshine aud showers
Woke Natures long sleep, with a touch of
her wand;
when robins and bluebirds came to us with
Mach winds.
And willows and poplars their spring dresses
dswned.
When deep in the wood men, aid boys too
were gathered,
All rIyinE their sweet sticky trade:
Some aath'ring and boiling, some stirring
and pouring,
Till all into sugar was frally made.
Those days meath the naples! how well we
remember
The fun, and the frolic, the appetites too;
when much of the product intended for
market.
With pickles and doughnuts, departed from
view.
But now all is different, the sap in the buckets
To ice has been frozen, and snow fills the air;
No smoke from the camps, and no sweet
smelling vapors,
The woods deserted, no sap's running
there.
SO Wen gather our buckets we'lI wash and
we'll stack them;
And wait till old winter is ready to die;
Perhaps in the future Well make maple sugar
To treat all our friends on the Fourth of July.
