Congressman Robert II. Hit Of H.
linois, chairman of the house foreign
affairs committee, is a very well posted
man on diplomacy and had quite a
career as a diplomat before he began
his work in congress. He was talked
of for the nomination for vice president
in 1904. Mr.. Hit was a shorthand re-
porter as a young man and reported the
famous Lincoln-D Douglas debate. He
once related how the Chicago Tribune
failed. to print a line Of Lincoln's his
toric speech at Freeport in the Douglas
debate, the greatest of all Lincoln's ad'

TRUSTEE. MILLER's BAD LUCK.

E. A. Miller, trustee of this town
ship, had the misfortune to lose his.
house last Thursday morningl 1t
caught fire from a defective flue
and nothing was saved except the
clothing the family' were wearing.
. Mrs. Miller in attempting to save
some of the household goods was
severely burned but not fatally.
She has suffered and is still suffer
ing intensely, howe ever. a
There is always, or nearly al
ways, something lucky about a
fire and this one was not an excep-
tion. The skim 3nths-ol baby
boy of Mr.. and Mrs. Miller was
sleeping in bed room which was
inaccessible after the fire was dis
covered and about ten minutes be-
fore the alarm was given their
girl, about 7 years old, took the
baby and started down to Grand
ma Miller's with it, 1t is said that
but for this circumstance the baby
would surely have; been burned.
The saving of the dllild makes the
loss and Mrs. Millefs injury, gre eat
as they are, easier to bear The
burning of the child would have
been source of grie EFF to the parents
that no combination of words could
express.
The loss is over. $1,000. !; Mr..
Miller built this house something
over year ago at cost Of $500.
This, in addition to- the household
goods consumed, makes the mis-
fortune a great hardship The
residence is not farIfrom the Pixley
switch, and about four and one
half miles east of the city.
The loss was not covered by in
surance. +.

MUST HAVE NEW LICENSE.

The time is close at hand when
hunters must secure new license If
they want to do any shooting and
be safe before the law. ALI hunt
ers' licenses issued last year will
expire June 80. Every person who
goes hunting July I, or any d ay
thereafter, must be armed with a

be subject to arrest and punishment
by fine for violating the state
game law that went into effect last
year.
There are some provisions of the
game and fish laws that are mo-
very commendable but so long as
it is the law the wise thing to do
is to obey it.
