David B. HEND-
} ERSON DEAD.
FORMER SPEAKER OF THE MA.
TIONAL HOUSE OF REPRE-
SENTATVES.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Feb. 25.-FoEmer
Speaker David B. Henderson, of the
National House of Representatives
died at 2 o'clock this afternoon at
Mercy Hospital of paresis, which at
tackled him nine months ago. He be-
gan to sink Friday afternoon, rallied
Saturday morning, in the afternoon
lapsed into Inconsistencies and fail
ed rapidly until the end came.
All of his family except a son in
California, were at his bedside, but
Mr.. Henderson had been unable to
regonize any one but his wife since
week ago, except on Friday, when
he partly regained his mental facul-
ties.
Col. Henderson was stricken with
paresis last May and his condition
grew so grave that he was removed
to hospital in September. His con-
dition remained practically unchang-
ed, except for the usual progress of
such disease, till a week ago last
Friday, when he suffered another
stroke which resulted in total blind
ness. The former Speaker failed rap
idly physically and metally until Fri
day, when his mental power returned
for a few hours, followed by a re-
lapse which ended in death.
The funeral will be held next Thurs
day with services IN the Episcopal |
Church under the auspices of the G.
A. R. Former Congressman Geo. D.
Perkins, of Sioux City, will deliver
an eulogy. The body is to lie in
state Thursday at the Church.

This movement against graft is
not movement against wealth, but
against the abuse of wealth. The PEG
pie do not oppose riches honestly ae-
quired, but they do object to the
abuses whereby some obtain great
riches. They encourage legitimate in
dustry and are not unfriendly to cor
porations that obey the law, but they
demand that corporations obey the
law just like any one else The an
archy of capital breeding lawlessness
is no more countenanced than the an
archy of labor breeding riot and dis
order.
IF it is right to put a stop to Of
fetal grating and place stripes upon
the official boodlers with their thous-
ands gained unlawfully, if it is right
to break up the grating of the insur-
ance gang with their tens of thous-
ands unlawfully and dishonesty 40
quired, is it not right to stamp out the
grafters, the tariff grafters
with their millions of illgotten wealth
wrung from the people by means OF
special privileges given them by the
law?
Fortified behind the wall of protec-
ton, gigantic monopolies have sprung
up. But for the tariff barriers to for
eign competition they could not ex-
list, but for these same barriers they
could not stifie competition at home.
Nor does the Government derive any
benefit from the proceeds.

must set its face against this policy.

The Rock Island Arsenal Golf club
links, a map of which is here present
ed, are just beginning TO attain the
fame they deserve among the golfers
of the country. Attention has been
called to them by the recent invitation
tourney and by their having been cho-
sen for the Trans Mississippi tourna-
ment next year TO further aid in
spreading knowledge of them the club
has issued a booklet for general circu-
lation among golfers containing views
and descriptive and historical matter.
The links are conceded TO be among
the finest in America From the stand
point of natural beauty and surround
;ngs, and for adaptability to the sport,
it would be difficult to excel them.
There are Is holes, covering a course
of 6,164 yards. which lies along the
north side of Rock island. Liberal
room is afforded, the sod is perfect
and groves skirt the way for a large
part of the distance Another feature
that renders the links suitable for i'm
portant matches is the system of road
ways by which the play can be follow
ed in vehicles from beginning to end.
Organized I'm 1897.
The idea of forming a golf club here
originated in July, 1897. when a num-
Der of gentlemen and ladies of Rock
Island and Moline and Davenport were
invited by Colonel tthen Captain)
Stanhope e. Blunt, commanding Rock
Island arsenal, to play golf over a
seven-hole course which had just been
laid out at the arsenal by him and
Captain William S. PIERCE. and the ac-
ceptances We're so general a club or
ganization was adopted and with the
authority of General ID. w. Flagler, the
chief of ordnance. a small locker house
was erected.
The following year the links were
.engthened to nine holes, of about g,
$50 yards. and otherwise greatly i'm
proved. and the locker house was also
enlarged.
In the spring of 1902 nine more holes
we're laid out by Colonel Blunt. giving
an 1S-hole course of 6.1G4 yards, and
the capacity of the locker house was
about doubled.
In October, 1905. the locker house
was destroyed by fire. and a month
later the club requested permission to
replace it with a structure that would
provide a suitable club house for their
organization General William Crozier,
chief of ordnance. L. S. army. approx
cd the request, and license to continue
the use of the golf links and TO erect
new building was on Dec. 5, 1905,
granted by William H. Taft, secretary
of war.
Liberal subscriptions having been
made by the members, club house
was designed by and erected under the
direction of Colonel Blunt, and opened
TO members in April, 1906
In this building the club has an in
yestment of about S16,SO0, and in spe-
c;al preparation Of the golf course
about $780, total of $751; 600. In addi-

LOCAL AND GENERAL LAWS.
Some Mysterious Acts Of the Recent
Session Of Maryland's Legislature.

Mr.. E. z. Tower, the clerk of the
circuit court, is now delivering the laws
of the General Assembly, passed at the
January session of 1906 to such Off
cials as are entitled to them. The vol
ume is an immense one, containing 1860
pages, with 826 chapters or laws in all,
general and local, with only four joint
resolutions. Those known as general
laws, number eighty-five. Not so many
of fundamental character, but quite
a number of an amenditory and rene
dial nature. Some of curative kind
The local laws for Allegany county
number 27; and for Garrett. % The
larger amount of legislation is usually
of local and personal character.
From chapter 592 to 7O3, there are no
chapters mentioned. This remark APP

are about Ill unaccounted for. How is
this to be understood?
In connection with the above we d.
rect the attention of our readers today
to the local laws for Garrett county

pearing today. could not be obtained
from any of the State officials, although
strenuous efforts were made by Clerk
Ross and other officials of the county to
get copies from the office of the Clerk
of the Senate and of the House.
The law appropriating $4,000 annually
to the School Commissioners seemed to
have been lost sight of by the State
Treasurer who failed to issue his war
rant for the amount to the local board
and when Secretary Browning commu-
nicated with him concerning the matter
the Treasurer plead ignorance of the
law claiming that the act failed Of pass

to Garrett county furnished Secretary
Browning with the data necessary to

draft for the amount appropriated from
the State Treasurer.
