But nobody laughed when Senator La
Toilette said that the two railroads that
cross Indian Territory are trying to steal
the very valuable coal lands in their terri
tory. LaFollette stood up in the senate
confident of himself and defiant toward the
rules and usages of the senate which seek
to deprive new senator of two or three
years of his first term-the very years when
his ideas are still those he received during
his contact with the people.
'LaFollette stood up wearing the air of
a man who told those around him that he
had a commission from the people and that
as he had most recently come from them
his right to speak was really better than
that of those who had been there longer.
Every word he said came forth as II
crowded out by the vast store back of it
struggling for exit. His effort was to say
as much in as few words as possible. so as
TO get them said in the time he could spare
to devote to that part of his work. He
made motions, demanded a roll call and
acted just as If he had been in the senate
for years, knew all his rights and proposed
to have them.
And what a voice is that of LaFollette!
Resonant as a silver bell and as clear as
the clearest crystal. 1t is no trick for
pupic speaker 10 make himsel1 heard all
over the senate chamber by raising his
voice a little. LaFollette, however. did
not appear to lift his voice at all He APP
peared to be talking in a conversational
tone, but there never was the slightest
trouble in hearing him. He talks like
man who will always have something worth
while to say. His first essay into the tur-
moil of the senate indicates that he will
make good in that body all the PROMISES
that have been made for him."

Representative Capron of Rhode Island
sent a bundle of government seeds to a
rich friend of his who lives at Pawtucket.
The friend grew some carrots and a few
days ago sent to Capron two of the car
rots and a sample of what a gentleman
farmer can do with the seeds of his
country. He also wrote a long joking let
ter asking for more seeds.
This was Representative Capron's
reply:
Dear Sir: Acknowledging your es-
teemed favor, with two specimens of two
carat carrots, I feel it my duty to inform
you that our beneficient Uncle Samuel
sends out two general kinds of seed: one
to actual farmers and those who need
food products for actual needs as such !;
the other TO debutsnte and dilettante agri-
culturists who enjoy experimentation with
fertilizers, and whom a paternal govern
ment hopes to induce to actually, practi-
cally, personally perform with a hope to
keep down the weeds which would choke
the growth of hoped-for crops, as well
as to eliminate the weeds of error from
the heart of the would-be bucolic citizen.
Properly MANFRED and cultivated these
carrots would have attained a growth OF
from two to four feet in length and twelve
to twenty inches circumference. l beg
you, therefore, not TO become discouraged.
but to plant the several varieties / shall
send you early as January 20. Carrots
should be planted four feet below the sur
face and the trenches filled with fertilizer
one foot below and one foot above the
seeds
Until the middle OF April irrigate with
distilled hot water or hot Scotch, twice
daily. Salt and pepper according to taste.
A chain fall Is commonly used In pulling
these vegetables. The Department OF Ag-
rculture confidently expects much of you
and requests further reports. Sincerely
yours A. b. CAPRON."

OLD GERMAN HERMIT.
Predicted Casualties 80 Years Ago
Which Since Took Place.

Stanley. Wis, May George d.
Bartlett Of this city has in his pos
session a printed copy said to have
been made over fifty years ago by an
old German hermit, and which is of
renewed interest since the recent de-
struction OF San Francisco. In the
prophecy he predicted the assassina-
tion OF two presidents OF the United
States, near the close of the nine
teenth century, as we'll as the death
of Pope Plus.
In the same article he says that
when the twentieth century opens,
great seismic disturbances will take
place which will cause the submer-
sion of New York city, and the west
ern half of the city of Havana, Cuba,
will break in two, while Florida and
lower California by earthquakes.
which will raze buildings to the
ground in almost every city on the
continent. Millions of lives and bill
lions of dollars worth of property will
be lost
After predicting wars between for
eign nations, the hermit painted a
dark future for the United States, say
ing that at the close of the nineteenth
century, feeling of unrest will seize
the people-this unrest being the out
growth of unequal social and econ
omic conditions.
He predicted that the twenty-fifth
president would be the last executive
head of the United States, as during
the last OF his administration, the dis
contented masses will break into open
rebellion and the established form of
government will be rent asunder.
When order is finally restored six re-
publics will have been formed with
capitals at the following cities: San
Francisco, Denver, New Orleans, St.
Louis, Washington and Boston.

BE STRENGTHENED.

New York. May 2-The most gigan-
tic and most important combination in
the theatrical world, involving cap
italii.ation OF S50,000000 is virtually
consummated.
Among the organizers Of this coali-
tion are Klaw & Erlanger Morris
Meyrfeld Martin Beck and presum-
ably Stair & Havlin. This group of
men control the majority of theaters
in the United States, whether devoted
to hish-class drama and musical plays,
popular priced theatricals or vaude-
villes.
A. L. Erlanger probably will be the
master spirit and executive head of the
corporation.
The objects of this combination are
mutual protection, self-preservation
and the general regulation of the
theatrical business for the common
good According to the best available
information the motive; of the
amalgamation are not primarily an
tagonistic. Conditions have arisen
which make regulation of the
theatrical business absolutely neces-
sary at this time.
This is a matter" said Mr.. Albee,
Keith's general manager, (which man
ayers have been discussing among
themselves at intervals for years. 1t
has simply assumed definite shape now.
We do not intend to wage war on any
body, but we do intend to protect
ourselves.

actor. We merely find conditions con-
fronting us which must be met and
we believe we are able to meet them
successfully"

Among Longshoremen Of Low

BY Vessel Owners at Duluth
Thus Far.
BOATS LOADED AS
THEY REACH DOCKS
I The Related Return Of Vessels From
Below viii Have Effect
However.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Duluth, Mimi, May 2.--The strike
thus far has had no effect in Duluth
beyond the tying up of tugs of the
Great Lakes company. None of the
ore. grain or freight handlers are.
identified with the longshoremen and
hence all boats are loaded as they
come to the docks. The effect of the
strike will be felt here when the boats
fail to return from the lower lakes.
Up to Dock ManaEers.
Detroit, May marine men here
do not look for any important develop
ments in the strike of the international
longshoremen, marine and transport
workers association until the dock
managers decide upon plan for un-
loading the boats at lower lake ports.
The longshoremen who unload the
freight carriers do not deal directly
with the lake carriers association, but
with the dock managers whom the
lake carriers association pay.
The unloading of our boats" said
President Livingstone of the lake car
riers lis the business of the dock man
ayers and until they are ready to do
so it is useless for us to fill the places
of the strikers and run the vessels
to lower lake ports to be tied up. But
we shall be ready to move the boats as
soon as the dock managers can care
for them" .
President Livingstone said that he
had received advices from Buffalo that
the elevators will make no effort to
break the strike there until the grain
in store is we'll shipped out. This will
take nearly two weeks as the eleva-
tors are full. The employees are load
ing cars but will not unload boats.
Upwards of two million bushels of
grain are atloat, bound for Buffalo.
