REPORTS ON CANAL
OF HOUSE COMMITTEE
 RECENTLY RETURNED.
GAN BE COMPLETED IN FIVE YEARS
Needs More Railroad Capacity to Take Care of the Dirt Now Be-
 ing ExcaVated.

Washington, D. C.-Chairman Taw- ney of the house committee on appropriations, and Representative Olcott, who have recently returned from visit to the isthmus of Panama, Thursday discussed with the president conditions as they found them MT. TaWney is favorably impressed with the progress being made in the canal work and told the president he thought at the present rate the waterway should be completed in five years He said he regarded it as unfortunate that the engineering world had been representing to the people an almost impossible engineering problem con- fronting it. The principal conditions now to be met, he said, were those of sufficient railroad capacity to take care of the dirt eXcavated, and sanita- ton with the view to keeping the place in a good healthful condition.
 Mir. Tawney also discussed with the president questions affecting congress sional appropriations for canal work and it is likely some legislation bear ing on the subject will be recommend ed to congress as a result of the visit to the isthmus.

ROMANTIC DEVONSHIRE.
The Land Made Famous by Phlpotts'
 Novels.

Philpotts has made us familiar with romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating novels, The River" Children of the Mist etc. The characters are very human; the people there drink coffee with the same results as elsewhere. A writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill, Bideford, North Devon, states:
 For 30 years I drank coffee for breakfast and dinner but some years ago found that it was producing indi- gestion and heartburn, and was mak- ing me restless at night. These symp- toms were followed by brain flag and sluggish mental condition.
 When I realized this, l made up my mind to quit drinking coffee and having read of Postum, concluded to try it. I had it carefully made, accord ing to directions, and found to my agreeable surprise at the end of a week, that I no longer suffered from either indigestion, heartburn, or brain flag, and that I could drink it at night sleep.
 Since that time we have entirely discontinued the use of the old kind of coffee, growing fonder and fonder of Postum as time goes on. My digestive organs certainly do their work much better now than before, result due to Postum Food Coffee, am satisfied.
 AS table beverage we find (for all the members of my family use it) that when properly made it is most refresh ing and agreeable, of delicious flavor and aroma. Vigilance is, however, necessary to secure this, for unless the servants are watched they are likely to neglect the thorough boiling which it must have in order to extract the goodness from the cereal" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale recently told th:s story at New Ha- ven's chamber Of commerce banquet: A hard drinker was told by his doctor that he could be cured if every time he felt that he must have drink he would immediately taEe something to eat instead
 The man followed the advice and was cured, but the habit of asking for food had become so fixed with him that once he was nearly locked up as lunatic. He was stopping at hotel and, hearing a great commotion in the room next to his, he peeped over the transom to see what the matter was. He saw, and rushed madly down to the office and shouted to the clerk: "The man in 153 has shot himself, Ham and egg sandwich, pleasen'- LiDpincOtt'S

structure, he argued, and no man elected through it's assistance should abandon it later. He described legis- lators who worked for their own private end as embezzlers of power. and placed them in the same category with thieves.
 The election of senators by the direct vote of the people, the curbing of the corporate interests of the coun- try, and inheritance and income tax, the initiative and the referendum were some of the reforms advocated by the speaker. He bitterly denounced the steel trust and Wall street inter- ests whom he declared furnished the sinews of war to the Republican party, which protected these institutions, for who would kill the goose that lays the golden egg? Roosevelt, he stated, was just becoming cognizant of facts in connection with Wall street graft years ago.
 The speaker made a strong plea to the members of the Legislature to heed the reforms asked for in the Democratic platform, and in this man. her he believed the Democracy would soon triumph and the government would be put back on the old Jeffer- sonian basis.
 MT. Bryan, in speaking of the ill ness of Governor Little, said: T appre- ciate also, the very kindly manner in which 1 have been presented to you this afternoon by the acting governor, and the fact that I am presented by the acting governor reminds me that the only unpleasant feature of my coming is the fact that sickness pre- vents me meeting again and renewing my acquaintance with your governor, whom 1 learned to know when he was serving his first term in Congress, and when I was serving my second term, and l share with you the hope, the trust and the prayer that his health may be restored, and that he may be preserved for many years of use fitness to this state."
 At the banquet in his honor at the Hotel Marion, MT Bryan among other things said:
 T have been a candidate for the presidency twice already, and in all probability I will try for the job at least five more times. 1 have lots of enjoyment out of running, even if l am beaten, and l have even more fun in seeing the Republican party adopt ing the issues on which 1 was defeated, 1 have been in politics since 1 was twenty years of age. I wanted to be senator and all my ambition was directed along these lines. Even when l was courting a girl 1 used to look her over and wonder whether she would do for the wife of senator My opponents recently have declared that I am a dreamer. l have heard of one dreamer in the Bible who was sold into Egypt by his brothers. They said he was dreamer, but when hunger came upon the land they went down to Egypt to buy corn, and Jo- seph, the dreamer, had the corn. It's alright to be a dreamer, if you have the corn.'

MR. STE:ADIN PlyL.Pl'T
SAYS AMERICA HAS GREAT Op.
 PoRTUNiTlES AT THE HAGUE.
UNITED STATES : THE WORLD"
Has Interesting Programme Outlined for the Delegates to the Confer
 cnce from All Quarters.

New York, N. Wv. T. Stead occupied the pulpit in the Plymouth church, Brooklyn, Sunday night and set forth his views as to the oppor- tunities which was afforded to Amer jeans by the coming Hague confer. ence of rousing other nations to a sense Of the importance of making definite and immediate progress to- ward the ideal described by the phrase the United States of the World" He urged that at the coming peace con yention twelve representative Amer lcan men and women should be se- lected as the neucleus Of the pilgrim age of peace. These persons would then appeal to the American people for their indofsement by public meet lngs or signed memorials. Armed with this evidence of national sup port, they would in the first case go as a deputatlon to the president and to the secretary of state, asking them to instruct their delegates at The Hague to support the aooye program, Then they would approach the British ambassador, informing him of their intention to start at once for England Tn order to appeal to the British peo- pie for their support in pressing their requests upon the king and his ministers.
 No Doubt of Proper Reception.
 MT. Stead said there was no doubt that they would receive an over. Whelming popular reception in Britain, where the ground already had been prepared. At London they would be joined by four pilgrims from each Of the three Scandinavian countries and the Americans and Scandinavians, together with twelve British pilgrams, would present their petition to the king at Buckingham palace and to his ministers in Downing street. The 3G pilgrims would then cross over to Paris. The same thing would be re. peated there. Receptions by the pres ldent of the republic and his ministers the municipality and the chamber of commerce would afford ample demon straticn of the loyalty of France to the principle of fraternity The pill grims now swollen to AS by the adop- ton of 12 French pilgrims, would pick Ep others at Geneva and then go on to Rome. From Rome the pill srlms, now G2 in number, would go to Russia, and SC would arrive at Der lin, 9S would reach Brussels and then l1O would finally round up at The Hague to present their petition to the conference, which is to assemble on June l.
 MT. Stead said that the idea had been received with enthusiasm in Flu rope.

Little R 0 k.-William Jennings Bryan, democratic standard-bearer in two campaigns, noted lecturer, and one of the great men of the century, wis ited Little Rock this week, and by invitation unanimously extended, was the guest of the Arkansas Legislature and commercial bodies of this city.
 Let the Legislature of Arkansas and of the other Democratic states carry out the principles of the party as expressed in the platforms of the last two presidential campaigns as Tar as they are applicable to their Jurisdiction, and the Democratic party Will have no difficulty in electing a president of their choice, House of Representatives and a Senate within the next two years. For if we can

show the people of the United States that our blanks have been carried out with success in several of the indi- Vldual states and can furnish the proof of 1t our battle will have. been fought and victory will be our reward" ! This is the message brought to the Legislature and the people of the entire State by the distinguished Nebraskan. He explained what sort Df legislation is demanded by the com mon people of the country. The trusts, swollen fortunes, legislative corruption and corporate control of the government were the subjects of his address. He pointed out the evils connected with these various objects of reform, and suggested remedy for each and every one of them.
 MT. Bryan was by no means mincing in his words. He spoke with convic- ton and from a store of experience and facts that left no doubt that all his statements could be substantiated by personal investigation.
 During the course of his remarks the speaker f1ayed the trusts and the pcs sessors of swollen fortunes in no doubtful terms, and public officials who abuse the trust imposed in them by the people came in for their share of invective.
 MT. Bryan advanced the idea that members of Congress and of the legis- latures of the various states were sent to the capitals for the purpose of en- acting the laws asked for by their con- Stituents. Representatives, he de- clared, were chosen for the purpose of putting the thoughts of the people into acts, and not elected to think for themselves and act accordingly. Whenever legislator could not vote conscientiously for measure that his people desired, and the speaker admitted that such a contingency might arise, there was only one thing to do, insisted the speaker; the repre- sentative should resign and let the people elect Q man whose ideas were attuned to theirs.
 The initiative and referendum was earnestly advocated by the speaker, and he declared that the recent Ok Iahoma constitution, which contains this feature, was the best in the United States, despite the fact that it was drawn up by 'cornfield" lawyers.
 The speaker defined the duty of true representative of the people. He declared that representatives were a necessary evil and were tolerated only because all the people could not talk at once, and they were chosen to rep resent them. Therefore those selected were not to consider themselves mas ters, but servants. And what has a servant to do but to obey the voice | his master, the people. It is not ,he duty of the servant to think, but to obey and act without discussion. The platform Of Q party was sacred

SEcR'Y WILSON TAKES ISSUE.
Does Not Like Report of Scotland
 Veterinary.

Washington, D. C.-In an author ized statement issued at the depart ment of agriculture, Secretary Wilson takes issue with certain strictures re- gently made by A. M. Trotter, munich pal veterinary inspector of Glasgow, Scotland upon the system of meat in- spection in the United States. In an official report MT. Trotter is alleged to have said that in 1905 the number of animals slaughtered in the United States was 11,732, 165, an average of 7,4S2 for each working day and that the number of inspectors was but 40, which made it necessary for each in spector to examine the carcasses of not less than 937 animals each day "an utter impossibility."

Clever Trick of Tranap.

A queer comedy of cheating is now causing much amusement in Paris.
 A laborer named Bedasne, living at Ymonville, in the Eure ct Loir, went to Melun with two pounds in his pocket. Having spent this in liquor, he conceived the idea of getting on to Paris for nothing.
 Finding an empty third-class con- partment, he fastened 6 flannel belt round his neck, stuffed a handkerchief into his mouth, pitched his empty purse onto the opposite seat and, ly- ing down, first had sleep and then, when Paris was reached, refused to give any sign of life til the alarmed station staff poured a cordial into his mouth.
 Then he was taken to a hospital, where he told a story of being at- tackled by three men, but police ques- tions becoming too difficult, he at last related his stratagem, and was haled from his sick bed to prison London Globe.
 Energy will do anything that can be done in this world; and no talents, no circumstances, no opportunities will make a man without it.-Goethe.
