GOSSIP FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Correspondence. By william WON smith.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Senator Dam
iel of Virginia, has long been regarded
as one of the ablest exDonents of
democracy in the country and his 10y
atty to his party had been above ques-
ton. He was one of the original Bry-
an men sand followed that leader with
an enthusiasm second to none. There
fore when he disagrees with Mr.. Bry-
an his words will have great weight
with his party. In regard to the prop
osition of Mr.. Bryan for the govern
msnt ownership of railroads Senator
Daniel .saysshe does not believe that
the countEy nor the Democratic party
faxors; such an idea The senator
thinks we already have enough to &C.
cupy our time and call for our high
est faculties without undertaking such
ownership. Mr.. Daniel says
The departments in Washington are
in a fever of excitement over the I'M
precedented action of Commissioners of
Pensions Warner, in turning back in
to the treasury a little more than
100000 left unexpended from his APP
preparation for the fiscal year 1906.
The heads of other departments and
bureaus do not fear that the disease
win prove catching, but do fear that
congress will take some action COM
polling them to be like saving. 1t has
long been known that the pension
bureau was overstocked with clerks;
that they were actually in the way of
each other, so large was the force, but
from some cause, there was never any
disposition shown to cut down the
force. Commissioner Warner soon
realized the overcrowded condition Of
the bureau, but did not proceed to

vacancies would occasionally occur;

would violate the law laid down by
Jefferson, and resign, and occasionally

fill any vacancies Of that character.
The result has been that In one year
he has been able to save to the gov

thusiasts has begun hard and earnest

CHARGED WITH PIGGING
Negro Said to Have Sold Booze and
Operated Gambling Joint on
Front Street.

Toots Bevenue was arraigned before

A Funny Eagle.

A Russian grand duke was once the
guest of a German prince. 1t was
early in the last century. In Russia
the imperial double headed eagle is to
be seen everywhere and on everything
throughout the empire stamped,
painted, embroidered or sculptured. At
that period the education of grand
dukes was somewhat limited. This
grand duke went out shooting in Ger
many and, among other things, shot a
large bird. He asked an experienced
huntsman who accompanied him what
ness" was the answer. The grand
duke turned on him I'm an irritated
way. How can it be an eagle,a he
asked, when 1T has only one headY

building which Spry is repairing on
the interior and the cries of the COM
batants could be heard the length of
Main street. The only witness to the
beginning of the trouble was Ray
mond Wagar, a boy of about 10 years
According to Spry's story of the
|fight-which may or may not be the
truth-he was attacked by Rosencrans
as he bent over a mitre box at his
carpenter work, and Immediately re-
he labored In the melee that follow
ed Rosencrans fixed his teeth in Spry's
jaw and pounded him fiercely as the
two rolled over and over on the floor.
Spry was yelling at the limit of his
lungs for help but when they arose
from the floor Rosencrans, bearing
deep cuts on head and hand, was the
worst injured of the two.
At once Spry set out for Towner 10
cause the arrest of his foe. A deputy
sheriff came for Hobe Monday and
took him to the county seat. On
Monday evening Sheriff Jevnager re-
turned with the prisoner and after a
lengthy confab it was decided to free
Rosencrans on the ground that he was
no more to blame for the trouble than
the man who complained against him.
There has been enmity between the
two men over family matters for a
long time and though every one hopes
for the peaceful settlement of their
wrangling it is feared that the end is
not yet.
The circumstances connected with
the past and present lives of both
these men would make it more sen
sibe for them to avoid trouble am
publicity in the settlement of their
differences

TO AILING WOMEN.
A LITTLE SOUND ADVICE WILL
HELP MANY A SUFFERER IN
FARGO.

No woman can be healthy and well
If the kidneys are sick. Poisons that
if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that pass
off in the urine when the kidneys are
well are retained in the body when the
kidneys are sick Kidneys and blad-
der get inhamed and swollen, crowding
the delicate female organs nearby and
sometimes displacing them. This is
the true cause of many bearing down
pains, lameness, bachache, sideache,
etc. Uric poisoning also causes head
aches, dizzy spells, languor, nervous
ness and rheumatic pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's Kid
ney Pills; the remedy that cures sick
kidneys. You will get better as the
kidneys get better, and health will re-
turn when the kidneys are well. Let
a Fargo woman tell you about Deans
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. S. w. Callahan, of 22I North

The Interstate commerce commission

on the various railroads for detailed
information. This was made the duty
of the commission by joint resolu-
ton of the last congress. The FREE
quency Of collisions and the terrible
loss of life consequent thereon has
made 1t incumbent that something
should be done to make travelling SAT

Shahelens Enreata-

Large tracts of dense forests in Aus
tralia are practically shadeless. Many
kinds of trees in that strange country
turn their edges instead of the fiat. sur
face of the leaves to the sun, and thus
one may stand under tree of enor-
nous size and be as fully exposed to
the sun as though he were in the open
plain. Travel through these forests
is said to be exceedingly arduous work,
as the trees, while they do not cut OF
the sun, prevent the breeze from
reaching the ground, and thus the trav-
eler experiences sitting heat.

pie for the running of railroad trains,
and also as to what progress is be-

when obtained and compiled will be
laid before congress.
The joint resolution calling for this
information, and making ii the duty OF
the commission to secure it, was intro
duced by Representative James r.
Mann of Illinois, and is very broad in
its terms, and the commission pro-
poses to give a wide scope to the in

troll of trains which have been ade-
quately tested in service and will fur

Representative Mann, in advocating
the adoption of his resolution called
attention to the many collisions and
the harvest of death annually paid
by the travelling public, and so inn
pressed congress that his resolution
was adopted without opposition. Nc
doubt exists in the minds of the peo-
pie that radical measures are neces-
sary to protect the lives of railroad
passengers, and the commission enters
upon its investigation in this spirit.

RATES REMAIN UNCHANGED.
State Board of Commissioners Stand
Pat.

Kansas City, Aug. 2.-The Missopri
state board of railway and ware house
commissioners in session here today
refused to grant an increase freight
rate on furniture and agricultural i'm
plements. The refusal, the commits
sioners said, was at the suggestion of
Attorney General Hadley, who had
given an opinion denying the board
power to increase the rates fixed by
statute.
The present rate on many commo-
dities. including furniture and fran
implements, were fixed by law in
1879. Two years ago the board of
railway commissioners in fixing rates
on articles not mentioned in this law,
inadvertently included furniture and
implements. thus raising the rate. Af-
ter the mistake was discovered a rate
was made to conform to the statute
again and it was against this change
that the railroads protested.

from Indian Territory are reaching
the Office of Fred l.. Wenner, secre-
tary of the school land leasing board,
asking when that territory will be-
gin to share in the distribution of
the common school fund, derived from
the renting of Oklahoma school lands.
All persons inquiring have been in
formed that there is little possibil-
ity of them sharing in any ditsibu-
tion prior to January 1908
Statehood must be effective before
Indain Territory can share in this
fund. II is certain that they will not
share in the January, 1907, distribut-
ton, and very doubtful if they par
ticipate in the June, 1907, distribu-
ton, anyway. AS for the income on
the $5,OOO,OOO, which is appropriated
in the statehood bill for Indian Ter
ritdry in lieu Of school lands it is
expressly provided that il will not
be available until action is taken
by the legislature. a
Had the laws Of Oklahoma been
extended over Indian Territory, as
was proposed, Indian Territory would
have then shared Immediately in the
distribution of the school land fund.
