What is declared to have been one of
the most sensational encounters ever
witnessed in the United States senate
took place Tuesday afternoon between
Senator Spooner Of Wisconsin and SEN
ator Tillman Of South Carolina. Sem
ator Spooner was speaking to justify
thact ton of Presidenet Roosevelt in dis
missing the colored troops at Brown

continually interrupted him.
The South Carolina senator was sub
jected to one of the most direct and

No Profit in Farm Alcohol.

The Department of Agriculture,
through Dr.. II. w. Wiley, chief of the
bureau Of chemistry, has undertaken
to educate the farmers regarding the
manufacture Of denatured alcohol. Two
bulletins on the subject have been is
sued.
From DR.. Wiley's discussion of the
subject the conclusion is reached that
the manufacture of alcohol on a very
small scale is not likely to prove prof
liable, and because of revenue regula-
tons it Is evident that the farmer must
be content with producing the raw ma
terials. The bulletin on the subject OF
sources and manufacture says:
1.-THE principal uses of Industrial al
cohol are illumination, heating, motive
power and the manufacture of lacquers
varnishes, smokeless powder, medicinal
and pharmaceutical preparations, vine
gar and ether. When Industrial alec
hol is made at a price at which it car
compete with petroleum and gasoline
1t doubtless will be preferred for the
purposes above mentioned, because OF
Its greater safety and more pleasant
odor. Under the present conditions Il
is not probable that Industrial alcoho
can be offered upon the market at mucl
less than 40 cents a gallon of IS PEI
cent strength"
DR.. Wiley expresses the belief, how
ever. that by paying attention to I'm
used sources of raw material and will
improved methods of manufacturing
and denaturing this price can be di
FINISHED.

SPEECHES. .ovER TELEPHONE
House Members Will Soon Be Able
to Listen to Speeches Miles Away.

Experiments recently conducted by
the Superintendent OF the Capitol at
Washington have proved so thorough
ly the value of the ACQUISITION" that
it is expected that the device will
soon be permanently installed in the
House of Representatives.
The ACQUISITION is a sound intensih-
er, having the appearance of small
black metal disk. and will stand up
right on the Speakers desk. To the
disk is attached a cable, which con-
meets with any number Of ordinary
telephone wires. 1t is intended that
these wires run to every committee
room and office in the Capitol build
ing, and to the Office rooms In the
new Congressional Office Building
when that is completed.
In each office will be an ordinary
telephone receiver, and in order to
know what is taking place on the floor
of the House q person has merely TO
place this receiver to his ear, when
every word spoken in the chamber
may be heard with perfect distinct
ness; as well, in fact, as If one were
standing at the Speakers desk.
| Thus a member will be able to keep
track of the course Of official business
without having to leave his Office OF
committee room until some bill comes
up in which he is interested.
While this has not yet been actually
demonstrated, there appears to be ne
reason why an ordinary long distance
wire might not be connected with one
of the ACQUISITION wires, and member
in New York or Chicago listen to thu
speeches being made in the House o
Representatives.
! Another somewhat similar device
planned for the more personal use o
members, Is the photograph, by mean
of which a Representative may sit il
his Office or walk up and down tn
floor, and dictate to a stenographe
several floors removed. When he ha
finished, If he desires to have the lei
ter read over to him, he may press
: button, and the stenographer's reat
ing will be heard with distinctncs
= anywhere in the room.

SHE TENDED THE LIGHTHOUSE
In Husbands Absence She Took His
Place for Two Days.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 14.-For
two nights, while the storm ragged on
the sound, Mrs. Samuel A. Armour,
alone in the Sperry lighthouse, two
miles from the shore, kept the lights
burning bright, kept the foghorn
sounding and did her duty like the
heroine that she is. Yet during every
instant of the two nights, while she
was warning sailors of the shoals and
rocks, Mrs Armous was distracted by
the dread that her husband, the light.
house keeper, had persisted. Today
she learned that he was drowned
Thursday night while trying to reach
her through the gale. Then and only
then, she collapsed for she loved him
dearly. Childless they lived together
in the lonely lighthouse for years.

their Wages RAISED
locomotive engineers ON
ALL WESTERN RAILROADS.
Increase Will Amount to Five or Six
Million Dollars AnnuaIIy-1ctween
$1,000 and 10000 Men Effected
First Time In History When ell the
Roads Considered the Demands.

After daily negotiations which have
lasted several weeks, western rail-
roads have decided to give locomotive
engineers increased wages aggre-
eating between 100000 and $4,000
600 annually. The increase will at
feet between $4,000 and 10000 engi-
neers on all roads west of Chicago
to the Pacific coast, north to the Can
adian border and south to the gulf OF
Mexico.
The negotiations were carried on by
a committee headed by Grand CHIEF
Enginedr Stone and number Of en-
gineers.
The advance will apply to alR
classes of engineers. On passenger
locomotives the engineers will re-
ceive cent increase on 100 mile
| runs. On freight engines the increase
will range between and IL cents per
100 miles. In all the larger yards
the switch engineers will receive adj
ditions of from SO to 75 cents day,
with the assurance that they shall not
be Kept out more than IL hours.
Apparently the spirit of compromise
/ SONcTHcu Lie uc6OCluIiOuo, AOA enO
engineers have practically agreed to
give up their contention far an eight
hour day-that is, an eight hour day
with respect to being creGdted with a
run of 100 miles-have abandoned de-
mands regarding pay for overtime
and will not insist on their original
demand with regard to sight compe-
tency of engineers. The switch engi-
neers were refused an allowance or
time and one-half for overtime in ex-
cess of two hours.
This is the first time in railroad his
tory that the demands of labor Or
ganization have been considered by all
, railroads in large territory. When
the Joint demand was first made, the
railroads refused to treat with the
, engineers as whole, preferring to
] deal with them on each road. CHER
!. Stone was firm, however, in his re-
b fusal to confer with the railroads ex-
e cept as a whole. The railroads final
d ly agreed to appoint committee to
j meet the body represented by Chief
Stone and the settlement would in
dictate that a new method of dealing
r with labor delegations had been
@ adopted. There are many details OF
s the new wage schedule still to ar
e range, and the negotiations will las,
ir until next week.

Onion Growing.

The period between killing frosts in
Montana is placed at 100 to 120 days,
while the time required for onions to
mature from seeding is 1875 to $50
days, and IL onions are not thoroughly
ripe their keeping quality is injured,
according to report prepared by R.
w. Fisher, of the Montana Station.
The experiments are recorded In detail
for each year, and yields given by both
methods Of culture.
Generally speaking, the yields from
transplanted onions were from 30 to
200 per cent larger than from seed
sown in the field, where there was but
little or no increase in cost of labor

Tn Rid Animals of Lice.

A bulletin recently issued by the Ok
iahoma experiment station gives the
following formula for making kerosene
emulsion to rid farm animals of lice.
Hard soap, one-half pound; kerosene
(cheap grade) two gallons; water, one
gallon. Cut the soap in shavings and
boil in water until the soap Is dis
solved. Remove the soap solution from
the fire and add kerosene, and churn
or spray back until thorough emul-
sion Is made. To set emulsion add
seven gallons of water, and use this
for spraying or dipping. This emul-
sion may be applied to any Of the farm
animals by means Of sponge, brush
or spray pump, without any injury
whatever, and when thoroughly ap-
piled it will rid the stock of lice. This
emulsion may also be used to free poul-
try from lice. Place the emulsion in a
vessel of convenient size and dip the
fowls, being sure to get all portions
of the body wet, and hold them in the
dip one minute After treating the
fowls the emulsion may be used te
spray the roosts and coops, and in this
way rid them of mites and lice.

The Onion MaggOt.

The onion maggot and cabbage mag
got can only be distinguished by an
expert, as they are very nearly alike
The maggot is the larva Of small fly.
There is no known sure" remedy that
can be applied. Sprinkling powdered
sulphur around the plants is a partial
remedy, but it does not always bring
relief. Making a small hole near each
onion and pouring into each hole half q
teaspoonful of bisulphide of carbon
covering the holes with earth, Is claim
ed to be a remedy, but such method is
expensive and laborious. Liquid ma
nure applied to the plants Is claimed
to be remedy. The best preventive
is to grow the onions on land that hal
not before produced a crop, but O
course such can not be done until mex
season. This change Of location of tn
onion patch is the only partia! solution
Of the maggot problem.

Points In Pruning,

In pruning the trees all stems half
an inch or more In diameter should be
covered with some waterproof sub
stance, like grating wax or shellac of
the consistency of cream. The bnrk
and outer wood will thus be preserved,
and the wound will in season or so
he covered with new bark. If this pre-
caution be not taken the end of the
branch may decay from exposure to
wind. rain, heat and cold.

Dust Bath Is Important.

Do not forget the dust bath; 1t is a
cheap luxury, and will go far toward
keeping the fowls free from lice and
mites. Any ordinary box obtainabls
at the grocer's will answer the pur-
pose. 1t must be kept dry, filed with
road dust or garden soil (Which must
be secured in dry weather before
freezing), to which should be added
from time to time liberal allowance
