BEVERIDGE'S PLEA FOR JOINT
STATEHOOD AN ELOQUENT ONE

Washington, Mar. 9.-Today af-
forded the last opportunity for general
debate on the statehood bill and the
entire session was devoted to that
order of business. Starting with a
speech by Mr.. McCumber, which be-
gan a few minutes after II O'clock,
there was no cessation in the speak
ing until the adjournment late in the
evening.
The whole time was occupied by
three senators, Mr.. Beveridge sup
porting the hill. and Messrs. McCum-
ber and Patterson opposing 1t. The
Indiana senator contended that while
Arizona and New Mexico were unpre-
pared for separate statehood II was
unjust to keep them out of the Union
az one state. He took positive ground
against the Foraker amendment
which allows each territory to vote
separately on the question of iointure
Mr.. McCumber opposed the joining Of
even Oklahoma and Indian territory
and Mr.. Patterson held that Arizona
and New Mexico should be admitted
as separate states. The senate will
begin voting on the amendments to
the bill at 4 .. m. tomorrow and
the final vote will be taken before ad-
iournment for the day.
The time previous TO 4 o'clock will
be devoted to ten-mnute speeches on
the bill and amendments.
"A Crime" Says Patterson.
Mr.. Patterson in his speech al
legged that the idea of joint statehood
had not originated in either Arizona
or New Mexico and asked whether the
idea was the child of the Indiana sem
ator or some member of the house of
representatives He declared that
such a union in view of the pledge to
Arizona would be a grave crime. and
urgedI the adoption of the Foraker
amendment for separate vote as to
the rational solution of the problem.
Mr.. Beverldge, who followed, began
his speech with a reply to MIR. Patter-
sons observation concerning the origin
Of the Joint statehood idea, saying
that ID was not q matter upon which
the people of the territories should De
consulted. The people of the entire
country we're concerned over the crea-
lion of states and the senator contend
ed that congress should proceed upon
that theory. AS going to show that
Arizona might ultimately accept the
union with favor, Mr.. Beyeridge stated
that. while originally the people OF
both Oklahoma and Indian Territory
were opposed to the union. they wera
practically unanimous for 1t now. IIe
opopsed the Foraker amendment. ar
gning that II adopted II would give "a
10000 people in Arizona power Ia
ihwart the will Of 100000 people In
tho two territories combined. He de-
elared thnt the Conner Queen Mining
CO. alone employed $4,000 men In
Arizona. Mr. Patterson and Mr.. Clark
cf Montana united IN the declaration
that the number did not exceed 2,b00
but Mr. Beveridge justified his state.

COLONEL BUBB'S PROMOTION
SETTLES THE ARMY CONTEST
Appointed Brigadier General to Sue
ceed General Carr

NdEIs
Washington, Mar. S.-One of the
most spirited contests for place in
the history of the army was settled to-
day when Secretary Taft announced
that Colonel John w. Bubb, of the
Twelfth infantry, had been selected to
be brigadier general in the United
States army to fill vacancy created
by the retirement of General Carr. 1t
has been rumored for some time past
that a junior officer was to be pro-
NOTED to this position, and army cir
cles We're greatly disturbed.
Colonel Bubb is from Pennsylvania.
He entered the service as a private at
the outbreak of the civil war. He
must retire on account of age in 1901.
But Colonel Bulbs promotion will be
preceded by the promotion of four
lieutenant colonels to the rank of brig
adler general, conditioned upon their
immediate retirement They are L..
w. Cook, Twenty-fifth infantry; j.
M. Calih, artillery corps; H. r. Tur-
rill. medical department, and Crosby
p. Miller, quartermasters department.

An EdgertOn Boys Advancement.

A copy of the Seattle (Wash.) Times
has reached our table containing the fol
lowing reference to Chas. T. Hutson, q
former Edgerton boy, which will be read
with interest by friends here:
Charles T. Hutson, of Cornell, state
senator from Adams, Franklin and part
of Walla Walla county, is in Seattle in
consultation with United States District
Attorney Potter Charles Sullivan. Sen
ator Hutson has just been appointed
second assistant district attorney and
his official residence has been designated
as Seattle.
Senator Hutson will not remove to
Seattle Immediately. He has consider
able private business to close up in
Eastern Washington and will delay his
arrival for that purpose a month or so.
He may take Office on either August or
September l.
The question of whether Senator Hut
son and Senator Christian, principal as
sistant, are compelled to resign from the
state senate is still under consideration.
Both men would complete their service
in March and both are anxious to re-
main IN office. Attorneys generally con-
cede that the two state senators may
hold their places and as this is an ''off'
year it is not siheiy any question will be
raised.

Many GIandered Horses.

State Veterinarian E. D. Roberts has
discovered the presence OF the dread
horse disease, CHAMBERS, among Rock
county horses. He and DR.. Brown have
begun securing the region directly
around GAINESVILLE, making careful inves-
tigation of all suspected animals in the
hopes of stamping out the disease as
soon as possible.
DR.. Roberts returned from Dane Sta
ton and Lodi late Saturday night, where
he had killed fourteen head of young
horses suffering from the CHAMBERS. He
found that carload of the same horses
had been sold in GAINESVILLE during the
winter and Sunday morning made an in
vestigation of two horses belonging to
Maurice Reed, south of the Blind lnsti
tute, which had been in the same lot,
and found they were suffering from the
disease and ordered them killed. He also
has the names of thirty others that came
from the same herd and they will be in
vestigated.
Everything possible will be done to
prevent spread of the disease which is
fatal to horses and wipes out large herds.
The appearance of distemper almost as
soon as they arrived in the state con-
cealed the true disease.

Obituary.
MISS AUGUSTA ATWOOD.

Augusta Atwood was born in the town
of Albion, Wis, June q, 1874. Her early
education was obtained at the little
school between her home and the village
and in this same school she later began
ed with honors from the Madison high
school. She entered the University of
Wisconsin and remained for two years a
member of the class of 1897. After teach
ing one year in the district school at AL
bion she went to the Northwestern Uni
versity at Evanston, ILL.,, where she spent
two years, graduating from the North
western School of Oratory in 1898. Feel
ing the necessity of further study, she
devoted year to literature in the Uni
versity of Chicago. Besides her univer-
sity training, she studied with many of
the greatest teachers of dramatic ex-
preston in this country. After a sue
cessful year of private work Miss Atwood
became a member of the faculty of the
West Division High School of Milwau-
kee. Two years ago she resigned her
position in Milwaukee and accepted
position in the Cumnock School of Elk
preston in Los Angeles, California. At
the close of a year crowned with many
successes she came back to her home In
Edgerton for the summer.
On account of serious throat trouble
she went to hospital in Oshkosh for an
operation, but owing to weakened con-
dition of the heart she did not rally from
the operation and died July 18th, 1906.
The funeral was held from her home in
Edgerton, Wis, July 14th. The services
were conducted by the Rev L. A. Parr.
To those who knew this rare soul the
following quotation has particular sig
nifcance:
80 may join the choir invisible
Of those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their presence
feed pure love,
Beget the smiles that have no cruelty,
Be the sweet presence Of good diffused
And in diffusion evermOre intense
So shall join the choir invisible
Whose music is the gladness of the world"
