One on Depew.

Mrs. Depew, wife of the senator, tells
with glee a story of her wedding tour.
They had among their fellow-passen-
gers a stodgy, slow-wittedl Scotchman,
who liked the conversation of the ora
tor. though he did not know him.
That's as Chauncey Depsw Always
tells the tale,'' said Mr.. Repew, Arish
ing off one of his stories. 'sFF lat 1skt IS
this Chauncey Depew2" ASKED the Sc9f-
MY dear" said the humoFtst frrr1ng
to his bride, what does l5epsw look
like?" VERY much as you do, imag-
ine," answered the lady. Surely, mad-
am you do your husband an injustice"
answered the Scotchman, with a gesture
of expostulation and pfotest.-Chicago
Chronicle.

HsTWO-CENT FARE
This Is Provided i'm Bill Recon-
mended i'm Senate.
Result of an Exciting Contest
In Committee.
WAS NOT ONE SIDED.
Only a Single Vote in the
Majority.
will Precipitate Bitter Fight
on Senate Floor.
WAS NOT ONE SIDED.

With all of it's eleven members
present the senate committee on rail-
roads at a meeting held last night, de-
cided by the, narrow majority of one
vote to report favorably and with a
recommendation that it be passed, the
bill introduced by Senator Brewer
which provides that the railroads
operating in Kansas shall not charge
more than two cents a mile for carry
ing passengers.
This report of the committee was
the all engrossing topic of discussion
among the senators this morning. Of
course the report was merely present.
ed and took its usual course and there
was no chance for the senators to
publicly discuss the matter. But they
talked informally amongst themselves
IN groups of two and three on the two
cent fare proposition and from a few
IDEAS of good many of them that
eould be cleaned it is quite evident
that the two cent fare proposition will
have harder shedding to slide through
the senate than it had to get out of
the railroad committee with a favor
able report.
No doubt now arises in any ones
mind that two cent fare will be the
piece of railroad legislation that will
cause the big and bitter fight in the
legislature, or in the senate at least.
1t will be the proposition on which the
railroad Interests will center their
influence to defeat, and it is a safe
conjecture that the two cent measure.
although reported favorably by the
committee. will be defeated in the
senate.
The best that senator's antagonistic
to the measure will do-and they be-
lieve that they are in the majority
will be to pass a bill which will give
the railroad commissioners the same
power to reduce and fix passenger
rates that they are now supposed to
enjoy in regard to freight rates. 1t is
doubtful if even such an Individual
measure will be passed, because some
of the senators have the idea that the
bill of Senator Smith amending the
railroad law regarding the powers of
the railroad commissioners to fix
freight ~ates gives the commissioners
the Same power over passenger rates.
This bill has already passed the SEN
ate.
There is no question that the meet
ing of the senate railroad committee
last night was a warm one. 1t lasted
for more than four hours and was
held behind closed doors. and the ma
jority Of the members of the commit
tee were dfsinclined to say a word

personally requested by Mr.. Thomas,
has introduced a bill to change the
name of H. r. G. Thomas to H r.
Thomas, in other words and letters, to
sW1pe one of the letters of his name.
The legend goes thus: Mr.. Thomas did
not hear of this until the bill had sneak
ed through the house, and was on its
way to the senate. Then he repudiated
the allegation that he had ordered. the
ch&nge, and came to- Topeka to see
about it. All day Thursday he was en-
gaged IN trying to run up the repre-
but that person had taken to the brush,
-antt-pasS bills Notwithstanding
1t seems that Mr.. Thomas is very
proud of that third initial, and wishes
to preserve it. He has signed it to
checks for so many years that it has
became habit, and it would be i'm
possible for him to drop it without
spelling the signature. It is to be
hoped that Mr.. Thomas, by rapid lob
by work, may be able to kill the bill
when it appears in the senate and save
his C. Being a native of Great
Britain, Mr.. RTh omas could spare the
III from his name, and never miss it,
but the Co is absolutely necessary.
Senator Carver has. been in Kansas
long time, but among the family
relics he brought from New England
Dawn Maine way is a brand of con-
versation which marks him "blue
nose on sight or heafipg. He thinks
he has outgrown this, and he has. in
everything but the insertion and elini-
nation of certain sounds. One of the
favorite pastimes of some of his best
friends is to approach him unexpect-
eddy and shout: aSay, HORSE"

Ice Tears Out Pontoon Bridge.
Observation-Disclosures

Harry Cone, the we'll known mining
man. who arrived in the city today
from Freedom states that an ice
gorge carried away the pontoon ferry
across the Salmon river at Goff last
week. The boats were crushed in by
the heavy ice jam and nearly all OF
them sank. The pontoon ferry was
owned by c. S. Stone. Mr.. Cone
states that the present snowfall is a
heavy one in the Salmon River coun-
try, and snow extends all the way to
Grangeville. Vie states that in some
places the ice on the Salmon river is
seven inches thick and teams have
been crossing on II.
A good many of the stock in the
Salmon River country are dying, Mr.,
Cone states, on account OF the cold
and lack Of food. Several fatalities In
bands of stock are reported to be due
to rolling.
All placer mining along the SAL
mon is stopped for the present accord
ing to Mr.. Cone. The cold weather
is freezing the water in bitches and
there is danger of breaking pipes
should water be allowed to enter
them.-Lewiston Tribune.

where he awaited the Moyer-Hay-
wood trials, until his uncle secured his
release on writ OF habeas corpus.

prisoned officials of the western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, accompanied by
Fred Miller of Spokane, left last eve

Culdesac Out OF Water.

There is danger at any moment Of
this city being deprived Of water for
fire protection by the sliding hill
breaking the pipe which connects with
the reservoir 200 feet above the city.
Should that pipe be destroyed the
city would not have drop of water
with which to fight flames.
The sliding hill has broken off
within about 10 feet of the pipe and
1t is expected that at any moment
there will another crevice appear
which will destroy the connection.
In that event connections would
have to be made by laying a pipe over
the crack. While that was being done
there would be no fire fighting agen-
cy in the city except the useless ap-
paratus.
The electric light plant is still out
of commission owing to the lack OF

OF the prices offered by the early
buyers.
While 1t is too early to know what
wool will bring in the market later
on 1t is believed by the most prom
inent growers in the valley that a
much better price than anything be-
tween IS and 10 cents will be realized.
The very fact that the buyers are
in the field so early in the season,
making their offers, might indicate
that they have the tip that prices will
advance as shearing time. draws near.
SO far as known none OF the grow
ers throughout the state have con-
sidered the offers of the buyers seri-
ously enough to accept them and it
is thought that none of them will ac-
cept the prices offered now as it is
believed that they will receive more
for their wool by holding 1t for a few
weeks.-Lewiston Teller.

Comparing warmsprlng Winters.

c. C. Covey, superintendent of the
Warmspring Indian reservation, was
in town on Tuesday, says the Madras
Pioneer; and says that the thermom-
eters at the weather station at the
agency showed 10 below zero to have
been the coolest weather at that point
during the recent spell. At the agen-
cy the water pipes froze and the en-
tire water service has since been out
of commission. Mr.. Covey says that
the records of the agency show that
i'm the winter of 1S61-61 there was
one spell of cold weather during
which the mercury got down to 40
below zero, and who. the ground was
covered with snow to a depth of from
four to eight feet at the agency. That
was the coldest winter of which they
have any record.
