Today.
THE MINORITY is ACTIVE
DEMOCRATIC LEADERS SEEKING
TO MAKE AS MUCH AS POSI-
BILE OUT OF CHARGE AGAINST
ROOSEVELT.
Publishers Press1

Washington, May 12.-The question
of veracity raised in the Senate Sat
urday by Mr.. Lodge on behalf of the
President in connection with negotia-
tions on the railroad rate bill. may
prolong the consideration of that
measure.
1t had been the hope of the Re-
publican leaders, now that a full
agreement has been reached on all
important controvered questions, to
set final vote for adjournment to-
morrow night. Mr. Hale, however, has
given notice that he will emphatically
oppose any attempt to such hasty con-
sideratiOn of what he considers to be
one of the most vital portions of the
bill, the personnel of the commission.
1t is believed that tomorrow ses-
sion may exceed in bitterness that of
yesterday. The minority seatOrs pro-
pose to make as much capital as pos
sible out of their charge that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has surrendered to
the railroad influences and that he
betrayed the Democratic leaders in
their attempt, upon the suggestions
of the President, to aid him in con-
structing and passing a suitable rate
regulation measure.
1t is understood that the Pres-
dents version of his dealings with
the Democrats, will be fully exploited.
The aim of the Democratic senators,
is to break the compromise agree
ment, but inasmuch as the last of
these compromise amendments has
been formally adopted, it is not seen
how their efforts can accomplish more
than to embarrass temporarily the
President and Senators Spooner,
Spooner, Knox and Foraker, whom it
is said the President repudiated, but
which charge the President branded
as an unqualified falsehood. An ear
nest endeavor will be made to secure
a final vote on the rate bill before
the last of the week.

George FoIkner, Apparently
Without Reason Took His
Own Life.
LEFT NOTE TO HIS WIFE
HE TOLD HER NOT TO WORRY
BUT TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF
THE SEVEN cHILDREN-WAS
A PEssIMIsT.

Without any apparent cause,
Folkner, aged 40 years, shot and kill
ed himself yesterday afternoon in a
barn near his home, three miles
southwest of the city on the Lloyd
farm. He was not in DOOR health
and his business prospects were even
better than usual. Besides his wife, he
leaves seven children, who are at a
loss to assign n reason for his rash
deed.
Folkner was naturally of a brood
ing disposition although he never
threatened to kill himself. When
things looked their brightest, he con-
tinued in a pessimistic mood. He ate
a hearty dinner and stayed in the
house with his family for a bout an
hour. He then got up without saying
anything and went to the barn. taking
with him his rifle, a small firearm. %
calibre. Arriving at the barn. he
wrote a short note to his wife. left it
under his hat and fired a bullet into
his brain.
A few minutes later his wife had oc-
casion to go to the barn. which is
about 200 yards from the house, and
there she found her husband in an
unconscious condition. She hastily
summoned DR.. Zimmerman, who, un-
derstanding that Folkner was dead,
took Coroner Markedly with him. Ar
irving at the home they found Folk
ner still unconscious. About five
o'clock he expired.
The note which he let was as fol-
lows:
"Dear Wife-Dont worry about me,
but take good care of the children. So
goodbye"
1t was unsigned. Folkner pressed
the muzzle of the small gun to his
forehead, and the bullet plowed
path through his brain.

On Your KueeE.

remember some years ago climbing
The Weisshorn above Zermatt valley.
with two guides. There had been a
series of severe storms, and ours was
the first ascent for some weeks; con-
seQuently we had great deal OF STEP
cutting to do. We had left the cabin
at two in the morning, and it was near
y nine before We reached the summit,
which consisted, as on so many peaks
In the Alps, of splintered rocks, pro-
truding from the snow.
My leading guide stood aside to let
me be first on top. And /, with the
long labor of the climb over and exzs
hilarated by the thought Of the great
view awaiting me. but forgetful of the.
high gale which was blowing on the'
other side of the rocks sprang eagerly

view. The guide pulled me down. "On

A Lesion From the Power House.

ut is the earnest life after all that is
nedeed most" says the Rev. S. v.
Cole, in The Life That Counts" III
you should visit the power house
where they generate the electricity
that lights the town, you would find
there a switchboard on which two
kinds of registers are set. One kind
measures what is called the amperage,
or amount of electricity used, and the
other measures the voltage, or in
tensity of it. The light that comes
does not depend upon the amount of
the amperage; the amount Of electricity
may be large or small; the light de-
pends on the voltage; that must be
kept always at the lighting point; in
tensity and not quantity produces light.
1t is something like that with persons.
Ability may be great or meagre; ability
Is only the amperage. But look at the
earnestness of a mans life; that is the
voltage and determines the light. A
man maybe able to do many things
well and yet lack earnestness enough
10 do anything sufficiently well to
shine. When Jesus said to His disci-
pies, 'Ye are the light of the world He
did not refer to the great amount OF
truth which they possessed-they were
unlettered and ignorant men-but He
referred to the earnest way in which
the truth was held; they had left all
Tor the Kingdom Of Heavens sake" :.

Hope of Glory.

In the change which taxes place
when O soul comes to God the future
is changed as we'll as the past. All
things become new. -
Some refuse to think Of the future.
Having no hope, the future has no at
traction for them. They fix the mind
on other things and shut out the fu-
ture. 's
Some dread the future. They shud-'
der when the thought of death en-
ters the mind.
But one who has found Christ has q
new experience with regard to the fu-
ture. He delights in the thought. he
rejoices that he is pressing forward.
He would not have the years move
more, slowly If he could. He is not
afraid to die, because God Is with him.
"Though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of DEATH. will fear no
evil, for Thou art with me-" He is
not afraid to meet God, because he ia
acquainted with Him. He Is not
afraid to leave the world, because he is
sure of a better world. He breads
not to close this life, because he hSs
the assurance Of a better life. There
is a bond of union between his spirit
and the invisible world which he dis-
tinctly feels. He has tasted the good
Word of God and the powers Of the
world to come.

to give an answer to Him that asketh

who can give such a reason?-Chris-

INTEREST IN ZAPUPE CULTURE
Capitalists Investing in Mexican
Land For Raising Fiber Plant.

Zapupe culture continues to be
field Of large investment for many
capitalists of Tampico, Mexico, and
also of many investors from the
United States. Within the past
month there have been six large
concerns, two of which are located
in New York and one in Kansas
City, that have sent their represen-
tatives to Tampico to look carefully
into the question Of Zapupe culture.
Three deals in land suitable for rails
ing the fibre have been made, and
several others are pending.
The nature Of the plant has many
things to recommend it to the
planter; it is very hardy, runs little
stocks, natures quickly and lasts
fifteen years, is not dependent to
any extent on climatic conditions or
moisture, and the fibre is extracted
from the leaves with economy. There
are several grades Of zapupe and
planters have not as yet come to an
agreement as to which is the best.
The industry is in it's infancy az
yet. Planting at present is more in
the northern parts of Vera Cruz,
though there are several large tracts
set out in Southern Tamaulipas as
we'll.
! Experts say that the zapupe fibre
is far superior to henequen fibre,
can be used in the manufacture of
much finer grade of material, and as
such will command good deal
higher price. On the other hand,
one experienced, wealthy and in
tuential planter in this State claims
that while zapuDe is undoubtedly
good thing, heneQuen in these parts
is better than 2apupe, and far better
than it ever was in Yucatan.

Moderate Beer Drinking.

The Evening Sun informs US that
the fifty million barrels Of beer con-
sumed in this country in year give
only one glass for every working day
for every man. woman and child in
the country, allowing none for Sun
days. That is good illustration or
the way figures are often used TO
prove that black is white, OR at least,
very nearly white.
1t is quite safe to say that fully
nine.tenths of the children never get
any beer, and 1t is probably safe to
estimate that three-fourths of the Wo'
men and one-half Of the men do not
touch it. We suppose there is fully
that proportion of persons who 40
not use alcoholic drinks at all but
even among those who do, there are
very many who seldom if ever toucn
beer. We think it is quite safe to
estimate that at the outside there
are not more than fifteen million
iabitual beer drinkers in the country,
and as the large majority of them
are moderate" drinkers, there must
be enough beer left out of the nifty
million barrels to keep three or four
millions Of men and women pretty
we'll soaked all the time, Sundays in
cluded.
Verify, as the Sun remarks, the
brewers have reason to be satIsnea
and so has their master.-New YORK

Blind Men Successful Fishermen

! Three blind men fished skilfully,
side by side, in a launch off Anglesea,
drawing in black bass and founders
at the rate of one a minute. They
never missed bite. They never
failed to land fish. Only the CAP
tain had to bait their hooks for them
but then the captain bats the
hooks of, all deep-sea anglers as a
rule.
! The sightless trio, smiling, said
that blind fishermen were not rare;
that in the institution where they
lived a full third of the inmates
fished.
They pointed out that fishing is a
sport singularly suited for the blind.
To sit still, to catch fish by feeling"
them on the line, is, indeed, the only
sport where the blind are at no dis
advantage. Fly fishing, of course, is
beyond them, on account of the diff
fcuties of the cast.
Side by side in the rocking launch,
hauling in the bass and founders
briskly, their faces growing redder
and redder with sunburn, the three
blind men fshed and smoked and
chattered, and at the days end it
was found that they had severally
caught more fish than any other man
aboard.-Chicago Chronicle.
