 Next to the building Of the fahaIla u canal, one of the most remarkaple ana important transportation enterprises under way Is the extension or the Florida East Coast Railroad from Nil ami, Fla, to the tip of the Gulf at Key West.

 A copy of the report will be sent 10 the President and 1t is said that the grand jury may be called on to make an investigation.

MESSAGE TO PARLIAMENT.
Speech of King Edward wIII be RadIca
 fin It's Character.


 London. Feb. 1s.-It Is understood that the Kings speech at the opening of parliament today will include an expression of satisfaction for Great Britains continued peaceful relations in Europe and particularly with France, and a desire for freindly solution Of the Moroccan conference.
 It will also contain an announcement concerning conditions in South Africa, the appointment of a commission to proceed thither to examine into the question of a franchise and that mean while the importation of Chinese to the Transvaal shall be stopped and the terms of the Chinese ordinance sub jected to a revision.

 No official forecast of the speech from the throne has been issued. but the foregoing indicates it's general drift. It Is quite certain that the speech will be the most radical ever put into the mouth of a sovereign.

Over in the city hall. says The Chica- go Chronicle. there Is story going around about former city official whom former Mayor Harrison once or- dered to attend to some important nut nicipal business concerning which com plaint had been made. The mayor cali- ed the official into his office and stated the case.
 All right, your honor, I'll attend to it right away" said the official, and he went back to his office.
 A few days later the mayor learned nothing had been done in the matter and he called the official to his office again. Several newspaper reporters were present The mayor informed the the matter he had spoken about.
 Well, your honor. I will see to 1t that 1t is done right away" replied the official, and again he went back to his desk
 few more days went by and the matter was not attended to. This time the mayor called the official into his again and in the presence of quite d number of persons alluded to the work he had ordered done in no uncertain terms.
 q want you to see to 1t that 1t Ia done right away" said the mayor.
 "All right, your honor." said the of- fcial with H salute as he bowed his way out Eraciously.,
 Complaints were made the following day again about the matter and tho mayor called his appointee on the tel. ephone.
 Say what do you mean by not at. tending to that matter ordered you tc look after?' asked the mayor sternly

It is even stated that the kings speech win contain a hint of such an intention.

senotor Patter.on'. Emancipation.

New York World.
 Senator Bailey did something more than make Senator Patterson ridicn- lous Wednesday. It is more than prob able that he defeated the Santo Domin- go treaty. As long as the Patterson ian hide remains nailed to the door of the Senate chamber 1t IS unlikely that the administration can control the four democratic voters which are necessary to the ratification of the treaty.
 As for Senator Patterson, his revolt in the holy name of Senatorial freedom turns out to have been manufactured for the special purpose of this treaty. When the Senator from Colorado was elected he made a speech In which he declared that he would enter the dem ocratic caucus. He made a similar statement in the biography which he prepared for the Congressional Direc- tory. in order that the regu- larity of his Democracy might be la matter of record. Senator Baiie proved that Senator Patterson was present at a Democratic caucus two years ago and voted for the resolution declaring that the action of two-thirds should control. He also voted against an amendment excepting two treaties from the scope of that caucus.
 Tn view of this showing 1t is hardly probable that the Republican majority VIII press LHe FdtteFSoh rSsoiutVh so a vote. Even if they y~did it is certain that no attention would be paid to it by the Democrats.
 Senator Patterson is free to vote as he pleases The only punishment that can be inflicted upon him for disre- garding the caucus rule is lis exclu- sion from future caucusses. But as he objects to caucus domination any way this would be a blessing rather than an injury. It would also keep him from the temptation of trying to coerce somebody else. He is free man to talk and vote as he pieases and freedom was all he asked for.
 Thanks to Senator Bailey's admira- bIe work Senator Patterson has been emancipated from all responsibility to anybody but his constituents He ought to be happy man but he does not seem 10 be.

OLD AGE.
DEPENDS NOT UPON YEARS BUT
 UPON VITAL FORCE.


 In Montgomery lately there has been a good deal of discussion in regard to old people. Some at fifty years call themselves old. and really appear so, while others at seventy years seem ac- tive. vigorous and young.
 It is not years. but it Is loss of vital force that makes person old. weak ened digestion. thin blood and poor circulation soon start functional pow CTS and vitality on the wane, and then the symptoms of old age quickly ap- pear.
 Our well known druggist, Mir. F. G. Fowler says that old feeling may be warded off, and we wish every person in Montgomery who feels old, whether they are so in years or not, would try the great discovery, VinoI. We know that it has vital principles which will in natural manner strengthen diges- tion. send rich, red blood coursing through the veins. and give new life and strength to every organ of the body. and this is what makes the old feel young again.
 Mrs. H. W Avery says:
 At the age of eighty-nine l felt the need of a tonic. something to strength en and build me up. For some time I have been taking Vinol, and I have found that 1t brings vigor and renew ed vitality to the aged as nothing else will"
 Vinol repairs worn tissues. checks the natural decline and replaces weakness with strength. It is an ideal body builder for old folks.
 We promise you that VinoI is, first of all, agreeable, because 1t contains no fishy oil. Second, shat 1t is a geri- uine cod liver medicine, containing all tn emedicinal curatives and strength making clements taken direct from fresh cod livers; and third, we will return your money if 1t does not do exactly what we claim for 1t" E.

Henvr Freight Trnmr.

The anxiety of furnace companies. to move iron and the general activity in the industrial section of the State as well as the good conditions in all lines. gives the transportation companies in this section as much business almost as they can handle. The Louisville & Nashville railroad today had one of the busiest days experienced in many months. Last Sunday 1t was an nounced that upwards of 1000 loaded cars had been moved southwRrd from Decatur and that a like number went southward from Birmingham and Mont gomery. These figures were exceeded today Efforts are being made by iron manufacturers to move out as much iron as possible before March 1st., when the advance of twenty-five cents per ton goes into effect on iron and steel freight All the engines used on the mineral branches in North Alabama during the week were used today on the South and North division of the main line of the Louisville & Nashville railroad. Superintendent T. F. Brooks and his entire office force were busy keeping a constant watch on the heavy traffic There-are no indications of a hold-up In the immense traffic now be- ing enjoyed.

ISSUES PROCLAMATION.
DesignateS Friday. April
20, as Arbor Day i'm
South Dakota.

Governor Elrod has issued the
following Arbor day proclamation.
"The time to plant has come
again. Each year in its turn brings
its opportunities. If we would use
and enjoy, we must SOW and reap.
Nature and time gave us the original
forests and we have in large extent
asted them. We must plant trees.
We ought to be more in earnest each
year.
Friday, April goth, is designated
as Arbor day.
Farmers are urged to plant rows
of trees, especially willows from
east to west. The willows will soon
make a wind break and serve other
useful purposes. Apple and other
fruit trees should be planted on the
north side of these groves and will
low hedges. 1t is not the north
wind we have to fight but the
occasional wind that sweeps up the
great Mississippi and Missouri
valleys. just as soon as we can
establish stree line" to the south
of our farm we will be greatly
benefited and rewarded.
"The attention of school officers,
school teachers and school children
is earnestly called to chapter l04 OF
the session laws of 1905.
"The soil of South Dakota is gen.
erous and will faithfully respond to
our efforts. All desire abundant
harvests. If we want trees to aid,
we must plant and care for them.
Nature rewards us according to our
personal efforts. In the material as
vel ! as the moral world, what a
man sows he will also reap. In a
word let us all plant trees on or
before Friday, April 20, 1905.
in testimony whereof l have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the great seal of the State of South
Dakota to be affixed.
"Done at the capitol in the City
of Pierre this 9th day of April, 1906.
Samuel HI. Elrod,
Governor of South Dakota.
