DEMOCRATS MAY STOP
SALARY INCREASE

President Roosevelt and Representa-
tive Watson Of Indiana had a conference
over the ship subsidy bill this morning.
When Mr. Watson left the President S
office he was asked the status Of the
movement to increase Government saIa-
ries from the members of the Cabinet
and Congressman down through the de-
partments.
It's just where It was, I guess" he
replied. But one thing about it is this.
The Democrats want to gain by the
raise but at the same time they want to
make political capital out of the move.
II will be a long, cold day before they
succeed in this. let me tell you"

LIBERAL IN TREATMENT

Despite the adverse construction of
the new employment agency law by Cor
poration Counsel Thomas, the District
Commissioners will deal literally with
employment agents. ard permit them to
supply clubs. hotels, and similar estab-
hshments with servants. even though a
bar may be run on the premises. Cor

ion that al places where liquor was
served came within the meaning of the
act, and therefore 10 supply a hotel with

AS soon as Mrs. Bradley. the slayer
OF former Senator Brown, OF Utah, was
registered as a prisoner In the iau a
guard was placed over her. Immediate
ly after the shooting Mrs. Bradley said
she had but one regret. ard ;hat was
that she did not end her life with the
same revolver.
Fearing she would attempt self-des-
truct.on, the police watched her every
move while she was In their custody
and pissed the word along when she
was committed 10 the care OF Warden
Harris Mrs. Bradley was assigned TO

and coat, and fell upon the bed. 4 few
moments later she asked the guard

be necessary for her TO remain there
until the date Of the trial, which will
probably be several months Mrs. Brad
ley seemed utterly crushed by this and
wcpt necessarily.
About dusk she became calm and asked
for newspapers, which were given her.
When the evening meal was served she
drank a cup Of coffee, but left the food
untouched. An hour later she retired
and slept soundly. The police say this
is the first sleep she has had since the
day of the shooting. The conversation
and noise IN the kitchen below the wom-
ans department in the east end OF the
Jail awakened Mrs. Bradley before day
break. and after tossing restlessly on

Webster City, Iowa, Nov. l0.-The
death of Mrs. Barbara Maricle near
Des Moines recalls to many a Hamil-
ton county pioneer some stirring events
of an early day. From lS4S until 1880
the Maricle family lived west of STRAIT
ford in Webster county on the banks
of the Des Moines river.
To early settlers any mention of the
Maricle family recalls also the name
Of a, Mr.. Lot who resided on the old
Maricle farm prior to its purchase
by them. Lot was an Indian fighter
and once trailed a band Of seven In
dians from his farm in Webster county,
some fifty miles north to Livermore,
where he crept upon them one night as
they slept and killed every one. The
Indians were camped upon a creek and
from this bloody deed the creek was
named after Lo tand today is desig-
mated on the maps at Lot s creek. @St
One day while Lot was away from
home band of Indians swooped down
upon his little log house and toma-
hawked his wife and left her corpse
in the cabin. His little boy ran from
the house at the first alarm and hid
in hollow tree. The Indians were
unable to find him and soon departed.
When Lot returned home the follow
Ing Qdy dll HIS hluullof feelings were
banished by the horrible sight. With
his heart as hard as flint he took his
little boy to the home Of a friend and
made provision for his keeping in case
he should never return. Then, arming
himself, he started doggedly upon the
trail of the savages. On the second
night he came upon the band. They
were encamped on a little creek in
Humboldt county near where the town
Of Livermore now stands.
Lot bided his time until the savages
were asleep. Then he entered the camp
stealthily. One swing of his hatchet
at each recumbent form was enough.
So quickly and surely was the work
done that none of the Indians awoke
and when Lot left the camp he left
behind him the corpses of every mem
Der Of the band who had attacked his
home and taken the life Of his wife.
It was shortly after this bloody
days work that the Maricle family
came to this section of Iowa. They
came in prairie schooner from Penn
sylvania and purchased the farm west
of Stratford from Lot.

ton. = =
All three Copper Range Consolidated
mines showed good gains in their pro-
duction last month, The Champion

uct, but the Trimountain showed the
greatest gain, it's output being more
than 100 tons larger than the previous
months The combined production of
the three mines was 3,750,000 pounds of
refined copper, which is at the rate of
45,000,000 pounds a year.
Extraordinary activity exists in the
building line in the copper country be-
cause of the prosperous condition of the
copper industry. At the North Kear-
sarge mine the Osceola Consolidated
company has had twenty new dwellings
erected and twenty houses have been
built at the Ahmeek.

Bishop CRATIC has even worked for an
alliance with the Greek Catholic
church. Bishop Nicholson was not so
radical, but he was sufficiently ad-
vanced to have ceremonies in his ca

guage in which the service was intoned,
there would be little difference from
the Roman Catholic cathedral.

be Clinton Raitt of this city. He is
a trifle more than seven feet in height,
and, according to his own statement,
has not yet stopped growing.
A few weeks ago Raitt was left a
fortune of $50, 1000 in England thru the
death of his mother. At that time he
was a police officer on the local force.
He resigned, and, accompanied by
friend. went. to his old home in the
tight, little island, with the intention of
remaining away at least year and
making tour of Europe and the far
the estate and started with his com
panion for, Paris, where they spent a
few days. They were like stranded
ships in a gale and, after taking in the
sights made their way back to Calais,
where. they boarded steamer for
Dover, returned to London, and soon
after left for LIVERPOOL where they
took a, steamer for New York. They
spent a few days in Chicago and then
returned to this city.
Explaining why he abandoned his
contemplated trip thru the far east,
Raitt said that when he found himself
among strangers in France and failed
to understand much f the language,
he suddenly experienced a longing for
the old scenes in Brown county and
the fiat country around Aberdeen. He
said that nothing could stop him and
ne did not feel satisfied until he landed

showed that the area devoted to dry
farming in. this vicinity was large and
was growing rapidly, and that the
crops made it very profitable, tho the
yield in bushels to the acre of the dif-
ferent kinds Of grain was not so large
as on irrigated land,
The results seemed to promise so
begun and have been continued and
expanded until this is one of the most
important fields of investigation which
the. station has in hand.
Conservation of Moisture.
The theory of dry farming is that
if the annual rainfall is seven inches
or more, and if this moisture can be
kept in the soil for the crops and is
not wasted by evaporation or other
wise, a, crop Of grain can be matured.
Seven inches of moisture is enough for
the crop if the crop can get It all,
Many western regions with three times
this annual rainfall are dependent upon
irrigation, because the natural moist
ure supply is allowed to escape. The
problem Of dry farming is therefore
