The Lacy Bill for opening the
agricultural lands in forest reserves
has passed both houses of Congress
and doubtless will become a law
This will enable people who have
for any reason lost their homestead
rights, to file homestead claims on
lands in the reserves, by paying
50 50'per acre in addition to the
ordinary requirements.

Sweetheart of the Long Ago,
Time plays many a trick, | trow.
l am sitting in my room
Writing verses-ah-to whom
Thinking, sweetheart, still of thee
And the Land of Was to-Be;
Thinking verses to and of
Thee, my first, my only love;
Talking to my musing self;
Padding poetry for pelf.
If the Then were but the Now
| am here and where art thou?
Art thou far away from me
Over mountain. over sea?
Dost remember how we played
In the pear trees pleasantshade 3?
Dost recall the perfect bliss
OF our stolen pristi ne kiss.
And remember how we said
That we'd run away and wed?
Need | put in public print
That at which | only hint?
Sweetheart, dost rememb Der how
Deep we loved Nv here art thou
now?
Long ago-and still | care
Mere and more for thee. All,

In the kitchen, cooking, dear"
Time plays many trick | trow

A PROPHETIC NOVEL.
Outlet of Lake Mentioned In "Allan
Quntermain" Found In Africa.

Quntermnin" Found In Africa.
A discovery Of romantic literary In
terest has been made by A. 7. Angel
in British East Africa, says the London
Mail.
While engaged in the survey of Lake
Naivasha and its caves he found the
hitherto unknown outlet of this fresh
water lake into large subterranean
river. Lake Naivasha lies about 100
miles east of Lake Victoria Nyanza
and is at an altitude of 5000 feet
Readers of Rider Haggard's story
"Allan Quatermain'' will at once rec
ognize the locality. Naivasha is the
lake with the marvellous caves which
is described in the chapters which
narrate the hero's plunge into the un-
known in search for the mysterious
white race. The grewsome incident by
which the caves We're discovered will
be membered-how the native serv-
ant Wakwaf1 dived into the lake and
was Sucked with frightful rapidity"
through the arch that gave entrance to
the mysterious river and how his corpse
followed the canoe throughout its sub
terranean passage.
"Allan Quatermain" was published
sixteen years ago, and Mr.. Haggard
then offered in romance the solution Of
the lake outlet, which is now substan-
tiated by fact.

Commodore Bencdtcf's Opinion OF
the American People.
Commodore u C. Benedict was the
guest Of honor at dinner at the Ho.
tel Elton, in Waterbury, Conn.,, the 9th
er night, says a special dispatch from
Stamford, Conn, to the New York
Times. After the dinner he expressed
his views on some public matters IN
his characteristic manner.
How much longer shall we be con-
tent to be the smartest race of darned
fools that ever existed?" he asked, add
ing:
IF this country was administered on
business principles, without regard to
politics. we would soon own or control
everything in the world that is worth
owning or controlling. and that with
out firing anything but commercial
shot. The country suffers vastly more
from the acts of it's lawmakers than
the acts Of its lawbreakers in impeding
commerce, in discriminating in taxa
ton and in uncivilized methods Of
finance
The stock spectators of Wall street
have been accused by financial editors
of being the cause of high money
rates. The statement Is absurd. Wall
street is the heart of this country's
financial system. Back of it are the
veins and arteries which quicken or
retard its pulsations. The fault Is
with our currency system. Wall street
is no more chargeable for the high rates
of interest than are the hands of a
clock responsible for the marking Of
time"

GIRLS in A SUICIDE PACT.
chuns, One in California and Ono in
Ohio, Die From CarboIic Acid.

Marion, Ind, Aug. 6.-That a suicide
pact existed between Miss Cora White,
aged 1S, of this city, and Edna Frances
Skunk, aged II, of Los Angeles, Cal,
is the belief Of many friends of the
pretty girls, who were chums when
Miss Skunk lived in this city. Only re-
Gently Miss Skunk visited here and the
two girls were much together. Both
were engaged to marry and both died
from drinking carbolic acid within a
few days of each other.
Coroner E. L. Brady, a cousin of
Miss W-jte, rendered a verdict that
she dieu by her own hand from car
bolic acid. simultaneously word
came from Los Angeles that the coro-
ner there found that Miss Skunk had
died of accidental poisoning. There is
no convincing evidence to support
either the hypothesis of accident or
suicide.
The prayer which Miss Skunk left
"Now I lay me down to Sleep" ETC.
may or may not have significance.
Miss White left a note, in which she
threw no light on her reason for self
destruction. o. C. Johnson, we'll
known business man, denies that he
quarreled with his fiancee and the Sc
cret is locked in the coffin of the girl
In the case of Miss Skunk, a Mem
esis has pursued her family. A few
weeks ago her uncle killed his wife
and then committed suicide at Los An
geles. Her brother was killed by light
ming in this county and there have
been several other sudden deaths in
the Skunk family within a decade.
To Horace w. Bolton, of Los An
geles. the death of Miss Skunk was
a double tragedy IN itself, because not
only was his love taken away from him
but he, as he claims, was the unwilling
cause of it all. She mistook the acid
for medicine which she had been ac-
customed to taking, Bolton asserts.
Bolton had taken apartments at the
Skunk home and later the former
Ohio girl became the possessor Of the
room he had vacated BY singular
he left the bottle of acid
in this room. That is his side Of the
story and the one accepted by the girls
parents and ostenstbly by the coroner.
Miss Skunk had gained considerable
renown on the Pacific coast because
of her action on the night OF Oct. Z,
1905, in chasing and firing upon
masked burglar. who barely escaped
alive.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the on
ly constitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts di-

amendment introduced which Will
make it necessary for candidates to file
a sworn statement of their campaign
expenses. Some of the western and
southern states already have this pro-
vision, and it is an excellent one"
Mayor Dunno Satisfied.
Mayor Dunno, in speaking of the
working of the new primary law, en-
pressed himself as greatly pleased, but
declared that the system had two Sc
rious defects, which, he believed, pop
ular sentiment would demand must be
remedied.
Generally speaking" said the may
or, The law seems to work very sat
isfactorily and | was greatly pleased to
see the different parties casting their
primary ballots at the same time. The
law has, however, in my opinion. many
defects for which remedies must be
found.
The most serious defect in my
mind, is that the primary vote is not
binding on the conventions. Another
law, and one which is displeasing to
great numbers of voters, is the provis-
ion that they must declare party allegi-
ance in order to be able to vote. No
provision is made for the independent
voter. | believe that popular senti-
ment will demand that these and other
points be corrected"
Governor Dineen sees great glory in
the workings of the new primary law.
But the law in its entirety is not to his
notion. He sees where the prescription,
in it's generality, can be wisely sub
iected to remedial antidote, and he
processes to be among the first voters
who should insist that suffragists who
are canned" by virtue of changing
residence before customs moving day.
May 1. eventually should get the pro-
verbal run" for their white allies"
The law is not perfect" said the
governor; there is plenty of chance to
place, the primary election should be
arranged to be held before May"
(Some one had told him that he had
lost a vote because the voter had not
been where he was before May 1 and
because he had not time to arrang
matters with the election commissions
ers)
The governor believes that the law,
such as governs public expression on
senatorial and representative issues,
should be extended to include all
was" and would be county candi-
dates-the sheriff and those who come
after him. the sanitary trustees. and,
besides, all municipal officers. But the
results to date have been hight graf
flying to the chief executive, and he
believes that a long stride in the right
direction has been made.
81 understand why complaints
should come in said the governor.
"but the law is young and therefore
subject to revision. 1t requires time to
whip things into shape that are gener-
ally popular, but time and earnest en-
deavor is bound to turn the trick. We
are after the best laws available, and
it lies within the province of the good
voting men to give them to us. 1t is.

Yates Badly Defeated.

Chicago, Aug. Conditional returns
on the advisory vote for United
States senator confirm the earlier re-
ports and indicate complete victory
for Senator Cullom, whose plurality in
the state may be conservatively esti-
mated at 10000. Senator Culloms
plurality in Cook county is 16,477 The
returns show that Senator Cullom not
only will have an Overwhelming plur-
ality of the popular vote in the state,
but that he has carried forty out of
fifty-one senatorial districts. Some of
the districts which on the face of the
returns have been carried by Yates are
his by small pluralities and may be
thrown into the Cullom column by the
official canvass.
Moreover, Senator Cullom appears to
have complete control of the state con-
vention for the purpose of senatorial
Instructions. Yates will be unable to
force Instructions thru the state con-
vention. He has last the popular vote
in the state at large he has lost nearly
four-fifths of the senatorial districts
and he has no chance to secure in
structions in the state convention. His
rout is complete and shows conclu-

republicans are of the opinion that he
is no more fit to be United States
senator than governor.
Repudiated by Old Friends.
The primary election returns also
show that Yates is not nearly so strong
now as he was two vars ago. Many
counties which instructed for him for
governor two years ago repudiated him
Saturday. Even Yates and Deneen
combined failed to make the showing
Saturday Yates made in 1904. Chief
among the counties which instructed
for Yates two years ago and which
turned him down at the primaries were
Adams and Mclean. Adams came first
on the roll call at the famous dead
locked convention. 1t was Yates to
the core and never deserted him. So
intense was Adams county for Yates
that on the seventy-ninth ballot in the
state convention nineteen delegates
were delivered to Deneen and one, the
chairman of the delegat ton, Major j.
E. Adams, voted for Yates. This was
the lone vote cast for Yates on the last
ballot.
