THE NEWS OFFICE FOR ALL KINDS OF DEEDS
Reunion Holiday.

This number of The News
makes four issues for this month
and the chances are that it will
skip over next week SO that the
force may take in our annua
Carnival-the Reunion. Much
of this issue is devoted to the
Old soldiers and the Reunion
generally and the next issue,
that of Sept. Z, will contain a
full account of "What hap

We desire to, if possible,
close the office during Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday and,
therefore urge our friends who
want work done to bring it in
before that time.
The News feels sure that no
one will begrudge its force this
Reunion holiday and it pledges
itself here and now to more
than make up for it in the in

Wheat Per Acre.

In The News special edition
of June Goth, the estimate on
the average yield per acre for
wheat in this county for this
season was given as "not under
20 bushels per acre" BY some,
at the time, it was thought to
be a rather high estimate, but
the results show the contrary.
The highest record made per-
haps, is that of E. g. Reynolds,
residing in the northern part of
the county, with As bushels of
wheat per acre. J. II. Wesley
of Ceta with 80 bushels would
come next and then follow a
host of others between him and
l.. N. Lochridge of Happy who
made % bushels. From this ii
will be seen that our estimate
of June 29th, although for a
good crop, was entirely too low.
AS previously remarked by
The News, the difference in
yield per acre was with the far
mer and not in the land as Cen
trail Plains land is all about OF

The Only Feature yet to be Considered is
 the Anti Pass Provision
Tillman Presents Facts and Circumstances Relating the Chandler White House Conference and Leaves the Matter to the Judgement of the Country.

Washington, D. C.. May I5.-With the exception of the anti-pass amend ment, the senate today concluded its consideration of the railroad rate bill in committee of the whole, and as soon as that provision shall be disposed Of it will be taken up in the senate. The general expectation is that the pass question will be disposed of early to- morrow, and the general hope is that the bill may be passed before the close of tomorrow's session.
 The pass resolution was brought to life again through the instrumentality of a motion made by Senator Culber- son, author of the original provision, to reconsider the vote by which it was adopted, which was agreed to. A num- Der of suggestions in the way of sub stitutes were presented, and these will have to be dealt with before the bill can be reported to the senate. After it is reported. several questions will be reopened.
 The greater part of the day was spent in discussing the eighth section of the bill, relating to the personnel of the interstate commerce commission, resulting in the elimination of the en- tire section and the restoration of the present law. which provides for five commissioners at salaries of S1,5OO.
 During the day Senator Tillman made a further explanation concern ing his negotiations with the presi- dent, and had former Senator Chan dler's memoranda read. The presI- dents letter to Senator Allison was also read, at the instance of the Iowa senator. The session opened with a personal statement by MT. Tillman concerning his relations with MT. Aldrich.
 It was while the debate on the per sOnneI of the interstate commerce com mission was in progress that Senator Tillman took the floor to make state ment on behalf of ex-SenatOr Chan dler. which has been expected since Senator Lodges announcement of the presidents denial of a certain state ment attributed to MT. Chandler by the

TILLMAN SUBMITS
The Chandler Roosevelt Question of
 Veraeity to the Country.

The reading of that statement was followed by the following from Mir. Tnlman:
 There are only two points in the presidents letter, which I deem wor- thy of notice. His attempted expIana- tiOn is ingenious. but not ingenious. He calls in question the integrity of purpose and utterance of Mir Chand- Ter by declaring: He was asked to see Ex-SenatOr Chandler as representing MT. Tillman, who was in charge of the bill. He stated to me the views of MT. Tillman with seeming authority
 MT. Chandler has declared most positively in a written statement, that the president sent for him for the pur- pose of getting into communication with Senator Bailey and myself and he nas produced the letter of MT. Loeb.
 'I now declare most emphatically that to no human being have ever given authority or even expressed a wish to have any conference with Theodore Roosevelt in regard to the bill now under consideration Jon the contrary, l have expressed the opinion in more than one public interview, that ne had nothing to do with it, and

A RACE FEELING
 IN NEBRASKA TOWN
4 Night watchman Shot by a Trooper
 of Tenth Cavalry.

Crawford, Neb., May 15.-Sergeant John J. Reid, of the Tenth cavalry, who killed Arthur A. Moss. night watchnan. Sunday night, was taken to the county jail at Chadron, for fear of an attempt at lynching. even though the jail here was guarded by regular troops. The trouble originally re- suited from the attempt of Night Witchman Moss and his brother, J. H. Moss. to arrest some disorderly negro soldiers from Fort Robinson.
 Reid shot and killed Arthur Moss, and JordOn Taylor struck J. H. Moss, breaking his arm. Reid was arrested and Taylor was killed by officers, while trying to escape. Saturday night there was strong talk of lynch ing Reid and a guard osNtrOops was stationed around the jail. About mid night Philip Murphy. who was intoXi- cated. while passing the jail refused to obey the orders of the guards, and was shot dead. There is much excitement here.

THE HOUSE.

Washington, May 15-The house to- day decided to vest in the supreme court of the District of Columbia the power to appoint the board of eduea- tion having supervision of the schools, instead of the board of commissioners, which is the present appointing power.
 An effort was made to prevent the preparation of plans for the Great Lakes navy training station, but an amendment was agreed to providing for the employment of a consulting architect, the plans and superinten- dence and construction of the new building not to exceed 31A per cent of the limit purchase price of the plant. which is limited to two millions.
 The house reaffirmed its faith in the navy department, defeating an amend ment of Mir. Tawney, chairman of the appropriation committee. to limit re- pairs on ship to 10 per cent of the cost, the vote of confidence coming af- ter two hours of hot debate on the Tawney proposition.
 Having reached the section of the naval bill dealing with an increase in the navy. and realizing that consider able debate must ensue. the house ad- Journed until noon tomorrow.

DRINK AND LOVE
 DROVE HIM CRAZY
The Wild AurderOus Career of 2
 Georgia Telegraph Operator.

Atlanta, Ga, May 15.-CraZed by drink and by disappointment in love affair, James H. Clark, a telegraph Op- orator at the little town of Chamblee, a dozen miles north of Atlanta, began late yesterday afternoon a rampage of crime. In less than twenty-fOur hours he killed one man, severely wounded three others, slightly wounded a fifth, and clubbed a sixth with a shotgun, set fire to the home of one of his vic tims, and. when surrounded by posse, shortly after noon today, shot himself through the head.
 Clark, who came here some months ago from Baldwin, Ga, paid marked attention to the niece of E. $. Purcell, but was discouraged. He went to the Purcell home last evening and demand ed admittance, which was refused. He set fire to the kitchen, and when F. $. Purcell and his son, w. J. Purcell ap- peared to fight the flames, Clark fired upon them. wOunding both. Returning about midnight, Clark made another attempt to fire the house. When an attempt was made to seize him. he shot w. $. Mask, a railroad station agent in the back of the neck
 Clark then fled to Dunwoody. about five miles distant, where he arrived early today. He went to the store of Nash & Cheek and demanded ammunI- ton. The store people had been warned by telephone. and refused to sell the required cartridges. Clark iun- mediately fired, killing Check with a bullet through the heart. He fired also at Mir. Nash. inficting a dangerous wound. He then ran to the woods. On the way down the railroad track he met w. J. Coker, whom he attacked wOunding him slightly. Officers were reused at once and hounds were put on the track of the insane man. He was seen in the roadway near ChambIee shortly after noon today. and when he found himself surrounded he shot him. self

Tucson, Ariz.. May 15.-CSpeciaL)- The final chapter in the celebrated diamond swindle in which Albert Stei1feld, leading merchant of the ter ritory, was victimized. is being en- acted here in the criminal trial of Ezra Bartlett a former prominent gambler, on a charge of obtaining money under false pretences.

Denial of Free Speech to Conservatives of
 the Lower House
Enthusiastic Sentiment in Favor of Woman Suffrage in the Course Ot Debate the Address in Reply to the czar's Speech.

St. Petersburg. May 15.-After an afternoon spent in a discussion of rlles of order, the lower house of parliament this evening began the debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne adjourning at midnight, after speeches by M. Roditcheff and a dozen orators of lesser caIiber.
 The discussion, which will be re- sumed at II o'clock tomorrow, shows that the main attack on the address will be delivered from the left. The leaders of parliament have more to fear from the radicals than from the conservatives. The evenings debate was tame. Even the periods of NJ. Roditcheff, the best orator among the constitutional democrats, explaining the address, brought only a faint rip pie of applause. The only scene of real enthusiasm was due to a reference to the absence from the address of a plank on the subject of woman suf- frage. which brought half the mem bers of the house to their feet, cheer ing.
 Other radical members demanded a paragraph asking for the punishment of officials guilty of excesses in past acts of repression, and a fuller and plainer statement of the demand for a constitutional order

THE DISTRIBUTION
 OF GOAL CARS
FaVOriGism Charged Against coal
 Carrying Reads.

Philadelphia, May 15- Testimony tending to show faVoritisn by railroad companies in the distribution of coal cars was eIicited today when the in terstate commerce commission resum- ed it's investigation into the alleged railroad discrimination.
 Shortly before the close of the af- ternoon session Geo. w. Clark, car distributor, employed by the PennsyI- vania Railroad company at Altoona, Pennsylvania. admitted that he had received orders to make special as- signments of cars to the Berwind White Coal company. MT. Clark ad- mitted that special allOtments had at times. to a certain extent. interfered with an equitable distribution of cars.
 Arthur Hale, superintendent of transportation of the Baltimore and Ohio road, was on the stand the great CT part of the day. Through nim. il was brought out that the Merchants Coal company and the Somerset Coal company had frequently received many cars in excess of their percentage al- lottment, while various smaller com panies suffered a shortage.
 Mir. Hale explained that the shortage shown on the records did not indicate that the companies suffered for lack oi cars as in many cases these companies could not handle their complement oi cars.

that it was the business of the senate, and while I did, at his request, enter into negotiations with the attorney general, it is well known to every sen atOr on this floor what my attitude and feelings have been, and it is most re- markable while the president sent for democrat after democrat to confer with him about this measure, that he should undertake, under the circum stances to assert that sent an agent to him to begin negotiations. The statement is absurd on it's face.
 "The other point to which I shall refer is the cavilling way in which MT. Moody discusses the idea of the president not being bound. While contradicting in no instance, however slight, my statement of what occur red, the attorney general seems to think that the code of honor among gentlemen is not binding upon the executive and his cabinet.
 "The president asked him to see Mir. Bailey and myself. We met by ap- pointment made by Senator Chandler and talked over the vital question. He wrote and sent to MT. Bailey his un- derstanding of our views and when we met, subsequently,, we reached an ab-
 
 and substance of a proposed amend ment to which he said the president would assent and help get votes for.
 "Of course the president was not bound not to change, but he was bound under such circumstances to give no- tice. and this was not done. Even the attorney general himself was not noti- fled. The charge I made and still make, is that the president is guilty of bad faith and that the rate bill. which will be, when enacted into law. a mucn better and stronger measure than We had hoped to get, has been emasculated of one of it's most valu- able and essential features by the presidents action. ..
 'I am ready to leave the whole question to the thoughtful and honor able men of the country"
 Soon after beginning his statement Senator Tillman injected the words this is Tillman talking now" which caused a litter in the senate and con siderable laughter in the galleries.
 When Mir. Tillman had concluded Senator Allison asked to have read the presidents letter to him. He only said that his object was to have the letter made as permanent of record as MT Tillman's statement Attorney Gen. eral Moody's statement to the presi- dent was also read.
 When the words. T'saw the news papermen in a mass was read there was loud guffaw in the senate and in the galleries, and the -presi- rapped with his gavel to restore order.
