The Senate Tuesday listened to Messrs.
Tillman and McCumber. Mr.. Tillman
made special inquiry concerning the
status of his resolution relative to the use
of national bank funds in politics and
touched on the insurance and beef cases.
Mr.. McCumber devoted himself TO the rate
bill, finding many flaws in the measure,
but announcing that he would vote for it
if it was properly amended. The joint
resolution regulating the allotment of doc
umcnts in the government printing Office
and aiming to prevent unnecessary print
ing and binding, passed Monday by the
House, was adopted. A bill amending the
law fixing fees and expenses of witnesses
in the federal courts in the Western
States was passed. The House witnessed
q most unusual scene when Speaker Can
non arose on the floor in the midst of n
spirited discussion on reciprocity and
tariff revision to reply to an attack by
Mr.. Shackleford. The urgent deficiency
bill was passed and a few paragraphs of
the legislative appropriation bill were con-
sidered, Messrs. Prince and Hardwick
continuing to defeat many provisions by
point of order. A bill permitting the
building of a dam across the ST. Joseph
river in Berrien county, Michigan, was
passed.

Mr.. Spooner concluded his speech on
the railroad rate bill in the Senate FRI
day and Mr.. Tillman replied to his argu-
ments. The Notifications appropriation
measure was taken up and passed. 1t
carries an appropriation of $4,000 for
the erection of government powder fac
tory and provides for a total expenditure
of $5,2TS993. The House continued dis
cusSion of the legislative bill and a great
deal of friction developed. BY a strict
application of the rules Mr.. Prince (Ill.)
and Mr.. Hardwick (Ga.) wrought havoc
with the force of the civil service COM
mission wherever increases of salary or
force were proposed. as well as other POI
sItions for which the managers of the
bill could find no law. An amendment by
Mr.. Gaines (Tenn.) providing 100000
for private car for the President was
defeated on a point of order. After one
third of the bill had been considered the
House adjourned.

red at the depot last Saturday evening
as the passenger was pulling in. Jules
Berg, who resides five miles east of
Souris, was on the platform, waiting
to board the train. In some manner
he slipped off the platform as the train
pulled in, throwing his right leg
onto the rail. The wheels of one Of
the cars passed over part of his foot.
He was taken to the hospital and DR..
johnson was summoned. His foot was
found to be SO badly crushed that it
had to be amputated. at the ankle.
Most of the heel was saved. He is
doing as we'll as could be expected

A Serious CHARGE

Peter Hanson was arrested at West
hope Tuesday on the charge of steal
ing four horses and burning up some
more live stock over near Goodlands.
across the border line A telegram
reached Westhope Tuesday, request.
ing that the authorit ties arrest Peter
Hanson, and take charge of four horses
which he was supposed to have in his
possession. Dave Williamson was
apprised of the fact that such a tele-
gram had arrived and he went over to
the depot to get it.After reading it he
happened to glance west of the depot
and saw the four horses described in
the telegram, tied to sleigh. He sat
down and waited till Hanson came
and then placed him under arrest. He
was brought down to Bottineau We'd
nesday for hearing, but consented to
go back with the two Canadian officers
who were here to take charge of him.
The crime for which he was arrested
is most dastardly one. He went to
the barn of Charles Rasm ussen, six
miles west of Goodlands and took four
of the best horses. In the hope of hid
ing the crime he gathered hay around
the stable and set fire to it. The
barn failed to burn. but enough smoke
was created to smother all the stock,
consisting of seven horses, sixteen cat
tie. seven hogs and large number of
chickens. The loss of four horses was
easily discovered and Hanson was i'm
mediately suspected, as he was sus-
pected of having stolen some wheat
there few years ago. The tracks
discovered around the barn took the
same course this time as did the tracks
discovered when the wheat was stolen
The tracks led towards Wetshope and
telergam was sent to that town with
the result as above stated. He will
be ar1aigned on two charges. grand
larceny and arson. The chances are
that he will be deprived Of his liberty
for several years. "a.

WHO DID Ii?

Des Moines Mail and Times: The
Register and Leader is hardly gener-
Gus to the men who. helped save
Gov. Cummins from defeat when it
declares that nobody has voted the
ticket this year who was not in SYM
pathy with the ticket. Nobody has
voted for the progressive candidates
who was not in sympathy with the
progressive movement"
If this was true, Governor Cum
minis would lack more than the plu-
rality he now has, and Iowa would
again enjoy the prospect of a demo-
cratic governor. 1t is because thous-
ands of men who did not and do not
agree with Governor Cummins and
the so-called progressive movement
decided that as between him and
democrat they preferred him; that
they did not wish to add to the fury
of factional strife and desert the par
ty that stands for the principles they
hold dear; that the election of
democratic governor would be mis-
understood-it is because of these
considerations that Governor Cum
minis has been elected. 1t seems
rather poor reward to these men for
their party loyalty to be entirely
overlooked in this way, and If some
of them had known this would be the
attitude of the recipients of their
generosity and loyalty, they might
have been tempted to act other wise.
Indeed, it was alleged in discussion
of the situation previous to the cleo
ton, that this would be the result,
but it was not credited by many.
Now is a good time to be peace
able, and it is poor time to renew
policy of prescription that Is le-
sponsible for much of the trouble the
republican party in Iowa now has.
Look at the Sixth dlstricr, for in
stance, where the malice Of the Cum
minis faction has slaughtered Major
Lacey, one of the most useful mem
bers of congress, both to the state
and to the nation. Is 1t the program,
then, to kill off every man who IS
not fully in accord with all the plans
of one faction Plenty OF threats
have been heard, both ways, during
the past three months, and If an I'M
relenting warfare like this is an
nounced, there will be mighty few
republicans elected to Office In Iowa
two years from now. II the senti-
ment quoted from the Register and
Leader had been more plainly pro-
mulgated ten days ago, the result
would have been quite different.
Let us have peace-it will pay all
| hands.

Fremont Gazette: Eight or ten
Fremont people went to oskaloosa
yesterday to attend the opera, Com
ing Thro' the Rye" at the Masonic
last evening. There was no excur-
sion from this end and those who
went had to remain all night, but they
were fully recompensed for the time
and money spent by seeing an opera
that was far away and above any that
had been in Oskaloosa for many
moons. In fact it was a show that
rarely makes city the size of our
county seat. The company played to
a crowded house and many were
turned away for lack of standing
room. The manager of the house,A.
P. Owens, is to be congratulated upon
the success attending the venture,
and those who witnessed the play
should be the sincerest in their con-
gratulations.
