EXCUSE THOUGHT OUT QUICKLY.
Butler Of Speaker Cannon a Man OF
Resources.


Speaker Cannon is the most re-
sourceful of men. Recently a visitor
called at his residence while the
Speaker was dining. He was inform
ed that Mr.. Cannon was not at home,
but that he was expected to return
Immediately.
The mission was an important one
and the butler who answered the bell
was so informed. He was requested
to state whether Speaker Cannon was
really absent or whether he was in
and not "at home" The butler said
with some hesitation, his employer
was really out. The caller promised
to return in a short time, but as he
was leaving the door he said to the
butler: "The business is really that
OF the Speaker, and is important to
him"
The caller started to walk down the
front stairway, when the door was
opened suddenly and the Speaker and
the butler appeared.
Come right in, my boy" said the
Speaker. What can l Go for you?''
While Mr.. Cannon was speaking,
the butler, who held the hat of Mr..
Cannon in his hands and brushed
some invisible dust from 1t, declared

attracted so much attention a. at the

a congress that is likely to give large
part of its attention to the question of
railway rate legislation and at time
when the whole country is discussing
the subject, straightforward statement

Lawrence Grange Is growing nicely.
We are taking in new mem bers at nearly
every meeting and old members are be
ing reinstated. The lecture hour is
used in the discussion of questions of in-
terest to the farmer, both political and
religious. We avoid partisan politics
and UNCONVENTIONAL questions for we be-
lieve the principles governing both are
vital to us all. At our last meeting 10
March we passed strong resolutions ia
voring local option, and we believe the
education of the farmer through the
Grange will do more to purify the poll
tics of the state than anything else. Sat
urday evening, April Z, the Grange lad
les gave a chicken pie supper, the pro-
ceeds of which will go toward a new car

Congressman-elect VIM. H. Jackson s
recently published interview concerning
the purchase of votes in his district hav-
ing stirred up hornet nests, both within
and without his party, and brought forth
such storm of universal condemnation,
he has attempted to make good, espec.
tally to his republican friends, by another
interview in which he declares the state
ments attributed to him regarding the
expenditure of money in connection with
his election were grossly exaggerated
and largely untrue.
Mr.. Jackson admits the expenditures
for campaign purposes were heavy, but
says personally he knew nothing of any
vote buying. He attributes the heavy
expense incurred to securing complete
registration and the getting out full
vote, adding that he made no statement
whatever regarding the use of money on
election day.
On the other hand the papers to which
the interview was granted are equally
emphatic in the declaration that the
Congressman-elec was not misquoted in
any respect and that the statements made
were those published

Franklin,. Kite Experiment.

Commenting on Benjamin Franklin's
kite experiment, which proved that
lightning and electricity are the same,
a scientist says: ut was one of the
most brilliant examples Of luck yet
recorded To attempt the extraction
of lightning flashes from a lowering
sky was almost suicidal. Even at this
late day timid persons occasionally fly
to feather beds, sit on glass legged
chairs or find refuge in rubber boots
during thunderstorms. A repetition of
Franklin's experiment cost his immedi-
ate imitator his life."

In order, if possible. to hasten the gen.

many citizens of the Eastern Shore and

sioners of those counties letter calling
their attention to the assistance that may
be obtained by the counties from the
State in the improvement of the county
roads by what is known as the sand
clay' treatment.
In order to determine the real value of
sand clay roads, the commission recon-
mends the selection of a mile of sand
road and d mile of clay road, where the
comparative values of the results of put.
ting sand on clay and clay on sand can
be clearly and intelligently contrasted.
The cost of construction of sand clay
roads is estimated at $500 to $1,000 mile.
exclusive of grading, bridges, etc.
Engineer Crosby says: "Should the
additional work, grading. bridges, etc.,
bring the total cost of these roads to
$4,000 mile on the average (which
would make a cost to the county of $1,000
a mile), under certain conditions the i'm
provement of some roads in this manner
might be very desirable, even though the
cost of maintaining them in good condi-
tion might considerably exceed that of
keeping in as good or better condition a
road whose first cost was somewhat
greater.

Secretary Shaw should give notice that
the Treasury Department does not intend
to be worked by the great metal trust,
known as the American Smelling and
Refining Company. Since July the Gov
eminent has been buying silver at
steadily increasing price, and since Aug
IS "A cents an ounce to u cents last week,
when the Secretary of the Treasury an
nounced that the Treasury would buy no
more silver at that price, though its pre-
vious purchases had amounted to about
200, 900 ounces a week, the silver being
used to increase the supply of small
coinage to meet the growing demands of
business.
When the American Smelling and Re.
fining Company failed to get its usual
order this week it began to get anxious
and finally called on the Department to
know what the matter was. The Secre-
tary said in reply that the Treasury did
not intend to increase its stock of silver
by paying such price aud intimated
that the Government did not intend to
pay tribute to any combine or trust in
supplying the public demand for small
change. The American Refining and
Smelling Company virtually controls the
price of silver i'll this country and CO.
operates with four or five foreign firms to
control it in Europe. In Congress last
Spring Representative Perkins of New
York undertook to show that it also had

gold, and though not quite SO we'll known

days of hard work completed the outline
of plan, for change in the national
currency system, which will be presented

absolute safety to the note holder, an
ample supply of currency to the public,
relief from so-called stringencies and. the
retirement of notes when they have full

AFRAID OF RLOoDHOUNDS.
Asotin Jailhrcakers Kept to the River
for Safety

The Lewiston Tribune gives the fol-
lowing account of the chase and cap
ture of the three burglars who recent
ly broke Jail at Asatin, Washington.
The Tribune says:
II was Diapers unerring aim and
good A Colts that stopped Stang, the
same as II did that OF Frank Smith,
the second Oregon Tracy, few weeks
previous. The hole in Stangs left
breast could never have been made
by the 30-calibre revolvers in the
hands of the other officers.
Harry Draper and his two famous
bloodhounds, Sam and Brady, re-
turned to Spokane on the Owl train
last night. In talking about the cap
ture. Deputy Sheriff Draper said that
when first sighted the escapes were
below Goose island and We're rowing
within 80 yards of the south bank,
along which Sheriff Dixon of Garfield
county, was watching.
When they came in sight Sheriff
Dixon commanded them to halt and
opened his revolver and they rapidly
drew out in the stream toward the
north bank. Sheriff Richards. Deputy
Draper and the party on this side then
opened on the boat while it was $50
yards distant. After Diapers shot
struck home Brown and Stang then
called out their surrender and pulled
for the north shore.
Deputy Draper. who has had a wide
experience with sheriffs, having met
and worked with nearly every one in
the northwest, stated to Tribune re-
porter last night that Sheriff Rich
ards, of Asotin county, was one of
the best officers that he had ever
seen.
In some manner the fugitives knew
tat Diapers dogs were after tho m
and for that reason they kep, to IN"
river. About their first greeting on
landing was to the effect that they
were afraid to make off through the
country on account of the dogs, and
elected to take their chances with
the stream.

said to he wholly unsinkable. A re-
cent trial of one of the boats was car
ried out in the presence of represen-
tatives of the imperial navy and many
shipping firms. The vessel was fully
laden to represent 200 passengers, and
it was assumed that, in consequence of
leak caused by a collision, the entire
engine room division into which water
was pumped, had filled, while a hole
was made to the exterior to admit
water freely the ship accordingly
sank, but when it was full of water
