partment OF Justice has ordered a
special grand jury summoned in the
Western District for the purpose Of
probing the theft Of the Indian rolls

ON THE LIST
HIS CASE CONES UP AFTER RATE
BILL is DISPOSED OF.
RseormendsJion CT Committee viii
Favor Removal and He May Be
eounesd-eailey viii Try to
Prevent Such Precedent.

Washington, May 17-One Of the
first things to occupy the senate after
the rate bill will be the ousting Of
Reed smoot Mormon.
II is considered by his colleagues
to be against public policy 90 permit
a man to sit in the senate who is one
Of the twelve apostles Of the Mormon
church. and who, in that capacity, is
quietly countenancing polygamy
In addition. some senator's who have
followed the investigation. feel that
the demands Of the cnurch on its
members, and particularly upon It's
highest officials. Is regarded by suen
officials and members as superior TO
the oath which a senator Is called
upon TO take.
Reed Smoot will not be ousted TO-
polygamy. The charge that he is a
polygamist. CT ever has lived with
more than one wife. was not substan.
tiated by the testimony brought before
the committee Of inquiry. II appears
that Mr. Smoot was married TO Alpha
VI. Eldredge In September, 1854, and
that he has been true 20 this wife
She has lately been with him in Wash
inrton. The two live at a fashionable
family hotel. known as The High.
lands. and Mrs. Smoot IS generally
liked by the wives Of congressman who
have met her.
The committee on privileges and
elections, Of which Senator Burrows,
q Michigan. Is chairman. will make
a report adverse 10 Smoot, and eight
Of its members will be recorded IN
its favor. the other FIVE being Of the
opinion that Smoot should remain in
the senate.
The question which the senate will
have 70 face Is whether Smoot Is 70 be
expelled or eliminated II requires
a two.thirds vote TO eXpel, while n
plain majority IS enough TO "elimi-
nate" II the latter method Is adopted
a resolution will express the senti'
ment Of the senate that Reed Smoot
he no longer permitted to sit as a
member.
Senator Bailey Of Texas, who Is a
pretty good constitutional lawyer, Will
make a strong speech in favor Of re
ouirIng n two.thirds majority. He
does not care particularly about yrV
tecting Mr.. Smoot, but he holds that
very important precedent would be
created by the removal by a plain r1a
jority vote Of a man who has beer
sworn in and has served several years
II Bailey makes good with his argu
ment, Smoot will finish his term In
the senate, as there are not enough
senators against him to make up
twothirds majority

are exceedingly rich mineral depos
it's there. He goes on further TO
state that be has "a knowledge OF gp.
prOXimately the spot where these
minerals are supposed to bee located.
This is the first time this story has
ever reached the public. though some
Indians say that there has long been

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing

They cure sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney i'll.
Here is Leon evidence to prove it.

health but at different times particular

to dull aching through the small of my

IOWA WINS AGAIN.
Pure Bred Hereford Calf Wins
Grand Championship at In
terndtiOndl,

For the first time in the seven years
of the International Live Stock Expo
sition a calf was declared the Grand
Champion. 1t is the first time in sew
eral years that an individual has had
the honor of feeding the prize winner.
The Agricultural colleges of the
different states have presented the
grand champion steer so often that
some breeders have been tempted to
think that these institutions ought to
be barred from the competition but
this year f. A. Nave, of Attica, Ind,
brought the winning animal. The
Hereford breeders are very jubilant
over the fact that the calf is pure
bred animal. The breeders Of the
various breeds have been challenged
for some time to produce such winner
and some record associations have
offered special prizes to induce breed
ers to try for this special honor.
Peerless Wilton 39th's Defender is
the name of the calf. He was bred by
Fl. j. Fluke, of Goodenow, ILL.,, and was
sold only few weeks ago to f. A.
Nave. Prof C. F. Curtis bought him
from Mr.. Nave only few days before
the show and will take him back with
him to the college at Ames and feed
him up for next year. This is the first
International Grand Champion that has
escaped the block.
The black calf ANDY" Of the
Minnesota Station was the reserve
champion. A shorthorn steer was also
in the race, but the Hereford and black
were considered the best.
Whitehall Marshall, the aged bull
owned by Frank Harding Of Wauke
shaw, Wis, has completed his winnings
for the year by being awarded the blue
ribbon at Chicago. He now stands as
the undisputed champion of the breed
in America. His second is Scottish
Prince owned by J. G. Robbins & Sor
of Horace, Ind.
In the Hereford classes the new fro
of Cargill & Mcmillan, of La Crosse
Wis. are the chief winners. They have
the blue ribbon in the aged bull class
and also in the two year old bull class
f. A. Nave and w. S. Vannatta & Sol
we're other prominent winners.
The result of the corn judging contes
has been announced and Iowa agai
claims the Spoor trophy. This is tn
second year that this state has won tn
trophy and if they win it one NOR
! year it will become the pcrmanen
! property of the school.

A Well Known Remedy.

One of the Oldest, safest and most
favorable known remedies in the world
today is Brandreth's Pills-a blood
purifier and laxative. Being purely
vegetable they can be used by old or
young with perfect safety while other
remedies require increased doses and
finally cease acting all together with
Brandreth's Pills the same dose always
has the same effect no matter how long
they are taken. One or two pills taken
each night for while is the best thing
known for any one troubled with con-
stipation, indigestion, dyspepsia or any
trouble arising from an impure blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for
over century and are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain OF
sugar-coatcd.
