This bill came to the house Jan. 10,
1892, and was referred to the commit
tee of the whole. On March "a the
bill came up In committee OF the whole.
and an amendment was proposed strik-
ing out all that looked to the impress

OF 1t an emblematic head OF Liberty
with the word 'f4iberty."
This amendment brought on debate
In which a good many members took
part. the men who afterward called
themselves Republicans or Democratic
Republicans in favor of the amend
ment, the Fcderalists mostly In OPP
position. One member objected to the
presidents head on the coinage as
savorlng of the practices Of monarch
les, which had taken this method of
handing down to the ignorant the
names and succession Of their mon
archs. The Scriptural phrase, Render
unto Caesar the things that are Cae-
sar's, unto God the things that are
Gods" was recalled.
1t was argued on the other side that
the proposed efigy was proper trib-
ute to Washington, to which a men,
Der responded that, while every one
might be glad thus to honor the great
man then president, there might be fu-
ture presidents whose heads the peO-
pie would not care to see upon the
coins.

culed by one Federalist as too trivial
for so much waste Of time and the
amendment had been seriously urged

Roman history the question was divid.

TO AIR A ROYAL SCANDAL.
Spanish Sovereign House Is Forced "a
Defend Suit.

The supreme court of Spain has de-
clared itself competent to try the sun
of the heirs of Elena Sanz, the singer
against the heirs of King Alfonso
XII
Elena Sanz was q beautiful Bone
mian opera singer, with whom Alfonso
XII, father of the present king OK
Spain, became enamored. she pore
the king two sons, the eldest of iAom
she named Alfonso. The singer was
banished from Spain after the death
Of Alfonso XII. and died poor and
friendless in Paris in 1899, though the
king is said to have fully provided foe
her in his will, leaving her an ample
annuity which was to revert after her
death to her children, who were min
ors, to be paid to them until they be-
came Of age The terms Of the will,
however, appear not to have been car
ried out and the eldest son of Nine.
SanZ secured the services of Senor
Mongues, a well known republican
lawyer and a member of the chamber
of deputies, and is said to be deter
mined to havo his claim legally cstab-
lished at any cost.
The case was taken before the civi!
courts. whose competency was queS-
toned, and eventually was referred to
the supreme court. The question OF
the competency of the latter tribunal
was then brought forward with the
result that it has declared itself COM
petent to try the case.
The crown lawyers are said to have
done everything possible to arrange
settlement out of court and at one
time an arrangement appeared to have
been made but it now appears that all
the details Of the scandal may be
made public, which is said to involve
the revelation Of a number of remark
able details affecting the later years
Of Alfonso XII.

president Urges Them to Become
Farmers Wives

After strenuous six hours In Lam
sing, Mich, during which he made
three addresses and held reception
at the state capitol President Roose-
Welt left at 4:20 o'clock Friday after
noon for Washington on the Lake
Shore road. No untoward incident
happened during the presidents visit,
and nothing occurred which in any
way excited the suspicious of the
scores of police officers in the city.
At the agricultural college Friday
afternoon President Roosevelt spoke
to about $4,000 people from a stand
erected on a little knoll at the head
of the campus.
The president was given the closest
attention throughout his address and
was frequently interrupted by ap-
plause. He interjected informal re-
marks and advice at several places.
bringing a great round of laughter
and cheers when he turned toward a
dozen young women in the gradual
ing class and said:
II believe that you young ladies will
make first class farmers wives, and 1
heartily congratulate the farmers of
the future on the unexampled pros
poets before them
The president also interjected a
plea for the paying of proper respect
for manual labor.
II shall be very disappointed in you
boys here" he said to the graduating
class If you cannot work with your
hands and are afraid to have your
working clothes look as though you
did work"
At the conclusion of the presidents
address the graduating class filed
across the platform and the president
presented them their diplomas. Hon.
orary degrees were conferred on a
number of distinguished visitors, in
cluding Clifford Pinchot Secretary
Wilson and President Angel.

TO NAME TOWN LEMON.
Village Will Be Moved to Line OF New
Railroad

Having miscalculated the route Of
the Pacific coast extension of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad
company. the people of the new town
Of Seim, situated in the northeast cor
ner of Butte county, in northwestern
South Dakota, have decided TO place
the greater part of their town upon
wheels and move it bodily distance
of twelve miles to the line of the new
railroad The line as surveyed for the
new railroad passed twelve miles
north of the present location of Stem.
When the town was located 1t was
thought it would be on the line or
the new road When the town Is
moved to the railroad it will assume
a new name, that of Lemon. Some OF
the more patriotic residents of Seim.
it is understood, will remain by their
town and will refuse to move to the
new town, having decided to Keep
Seim in existence. The banks, news
papers and some of the stores, as well
as a number of residence buildings
will be moved to the new townslte.

MAY SUCCEED COREY
G. G. TIIORP BEING PUSHED FOR
STEEL PRESIDENCY.
Snyder Said to Ec Agreeable to Pro-
posed Merger on Condition that
Head of Plant mt Gary, Ind, Be
Made President of Corporation.

G.. G. Thorp, of Chicago, superin-
tendent OF the new mills of the United
States steel corporation at Gary, Ind,
has been presented to the leaders of
the corporation for consideration
as a possible successor to w. Ellis
Corey. Thorp's name goes up with the
influential backing of w. p. Snyder,
who himself had been approached by
the steel corporation with a view to
elevsting him to the presidency and
merging the immense Snyder pig iron
interests with the steel corporation.
Snyder will not become president of
the corporation, but one of the terms
on which he is willing to merge his in
terests with those of the Steel corpora
ton is understood to be the election
of Thorp to the presidency.
No matter whether Thorp wins or
loses, there is pretty story back of
the whole affair how Snyder saw in
Thorp material for great general and
pushed him forward at every oppor-
tunity. Many years ago Snyder built
the steel works at Clarion and put
young Thorp in charge. The plant
was success from the start and soon
Snyder sold 1t to the Crucible Steel
company. The officials of the latter
were about to dispose of Thorp when
Snyder called their attention to the
fact that Thorp had made the Clarion
plant what 1t was and that 1t would be
a mistake to discharge him. Thorp was
allowed to remain and made such a
success of it that the corporation de-
cided to take the plant itself, and, de-
Gliding that Thorp was too good a man
for a small plant, they sent him to
Chicago to take a responsible position
with the Illinois Steel company

ED WILSON DID NOT ESCAPE.
Remarkable Case at Sioux Falls Peni-

Ed Wilson, serving life sentence
in the Sioux Falls penitentiary Tor
murder committed in Moody county,
who was supposed to have escaped
from the penitentiary early Monday
morning last week Thursday morning
surrendered himself to the prison au-
thorities.
The case is a remarkable one. III
develops that Wilson at no time was
outside the large wall which surrounds
the prison. When he made his escape
from the hospital window by means or
a rope made Of his bed clothing he
did not have sufficient strength to low
er himself all the way to the ground,
but fell about half the distance, injur-
ing his hip. He was able to place a
plank against the outside stone wall,
but was too weak, as the result OF
rheumatism, to climb up the plank
and make his escape over the wall. he
took refuge behind some cement bar
rels in the power house, where he re-
manned until hunger compelled him to
surrender
