Missouri.

We have heard from old Missouri, and
our heart is light and gay
She is once more Democratic clean from
Pike to Nodaway.
And we hear the ROSTERS growing in loud
and lusty tone,
While the echoes are resounding all the
way from Polk to Stone.
We have heard from old Missouri, and
she's back again in line,
And our heart is filled with rapture, and
we're feeling mighty fine.
We have heard from old Missouri, and
were feeling good today.
She has turned about in gladness from
the error of her way.
She has shouted out the tidings that
she'll never err again,
And we hear the echoes rolling all the
way from Cass to Wayne
We have heard from old Missouri; she s
again within the ranks.
And our cup of joy brims over, and our
heart is full of thanks.
we have heard from old Missouri, and
the news was full of joy;
Still the old states Democratic-that' 8
the truth without alloy.
Clear from Atchison to Butler and then
back again to Rails
Comes the word that she is ready when
the voice Of duty calls.
We have heard from old Missouri; she is
standing stanch and true,
And the sun of hope is shining in sky
that's fair and blue.

Especial Washington Letter.
wNHE multimillionaires of Rhode
Island are in a deadlock 1t
I'LL may or may not be broken be-
fore this letter is in print. The
matter in controversy is the election Of
a United States senator, and two Re-
publican multis want it. Senator Wet
more has tried the senatorial POGO and
wants some more. Colonel Colt thinks
Wetmore has had quantum suf1cit,
perhaps more than a quantum meruit,
and wants to taste it himself. So these
two plutocrats have tapped their bar
rels. and in Little Rhody everything is
merry as marriage bell. While the
two multis are waging this war Of the
barrels the boys are having a good
time and would be delighted to see the
contest continue till the roses bloom.
In Rhode Island the people have lit
tie to do with running the government
If they did it would be Democratic.
Some astute persons have expressed a
doubt as to whether they really have
Republican form of government in
Rhode Island such as the federal con-
stitution requires. AS it is % per cent
of the votes elect majority of both
houses of the legislature a condition
growing out Of the fact that the basis
Of representation is about the same
now as a century ago 1t is all based
on towns" In the lapse of time the
population of some towns" has grown
SO and the population of others dwin-
died so that the thing has come to be
preposterous but it suits the pluto
Gratis to a ''ts All they have to do is
to round up the % per cent who are
so situated geographically as to con-
troll both houses of the legislature.
With the other - per cent they need
not bother. The basis of representa-
ton is constitutional provision and
cannot be amended except the legisla-
ture is willing which of course it is
not.

Ilacrease Of Salary.

Florida has only three representa-
tives in the house, but they are all
strong men Sparkman, Lamar and
Clark. There are always SO many
Clarks in congress that they are
usually called by their Christian names
more frequently than others except the
Smiths Joneses, Browns, Andersons
and Williamsons So the Florida mem.
Der is always Frank Clark to his fell
low members. He is handsome, ca
pabIe man without fear. What's in
his mind he says, and he says it with
force. He has clear, bell-like voice,
great advantage in such a large and
tumultuous assembly as is the house OF
representatives. Whether person
agrees with Frank Clark or not, he
must admire his courage. He was
once United States district attorney
and holds up his end Of the hand spike
in the house, to use an old time ex-
preston familiar to the ears Of those
reared in the timber regions When
the question of increasing congression-
al salaries came up, Frank Clark came
out DOluly III ldNOI u II dAu lA1uS a
speech which convulsed the house and
galleries and which was largely ex-
plotted in the papers. Enough voted
for the proposition to pass it, but few
spoke in favor of it, and most Of those
who did spoke apologeticaliy. Not SO
with my namesake from Florida. He
put it on grounds Of justice and man
fully stood by his guns.
He has tender heart. Some per
sons conveyed to him the information
that the lunatics in st. Elizabeth's
asylum are maltreated. He promptly
introduced a resolution of investiga
ton and forced it to its passage He
was placed on the committee to inves-
tigate and has put in vast deal OF
work on that subject. All sorts OF
tactics were resorted to to prevent the
investigation, but Clark of Florida
swung on like bulldog till he got it.

No Extra Session.

There is talk of an extra session OF
congress. but there's no extra session
going to be held. OF course the Wash.
ington people want it, because it helps
the town, but senators and representa-.
tiyes do not want it, and President
Roosevelt dislikes to have congress OH
his hands as much as did G. c., but
he is too shrewd to say so.
There's a possibility of an extra ses-
sion Of the senate to consider the San
to Domingo treaty unless the pressure
or the wheedling induces enough
Democrats to vote for that preposter-
Gus scheme to ratify it.

SURVEYING ROAD
TO KIMBALL MINE
CHICAGO & NORTHWESTERN EsTABLl-
SHED LINE FOR SPUR.
TAKING LOTS OF OPTIONS
Representatives OF the Zimmerman In
tsrsstsIn the County Tisins mp Min
eral Lands.

The engineers for the G. a. N. w.
railway were in Crystal Falls during
the week and established line for "a
spur TO the Kimball mine.
The spur branches off the Columbia
mine tracks at Irving Jackson's resi-
dence and strikes off south-easterly to-
wards the residence Of q. Urban, fol-
lowing, in the main the present road
from the city TO the Penola plains It
will cut diagonally across the vacant
lots in the Schwartz addition and has
bnt one bad cut, that near the Urban
residence.
The Milwaukee established new line
10 the Kimball several months ago and
figuring from the fact that that com
pany branched Oft from its own line
west Of the woodenware factory and
now that the @. a. N. w. Is establish
ing its own line from it's own tracks.
one is lead to believe that the policy of
joint tracks, heretofore pursued by
these two companies in this locality is
about TO be abolished.
There has been much dissatisfaction
over the joint track arrangement as the
company that is to keep the track open
generally consults its own uses Of the
track ia doing so thus hampering
the other company when that party
wishes the use Of IL. This condition
is especially noticeable in the winter
time when the big snow comes and the
heavy costa of keeping the track open
results
In this connection IL is also noticed
that the Milwaukee will run spur OF
its own 10 the Fairbanks mine, now
served only by the O. 81 N. w.
The building Of the several mine
spurs together with the Star Lake ex-
tension OF the Milwaukee will make
this city.a pretty lively place in the
railroad building line next srping.
Jerry Morrow, the representative Of
the Zimmerman interests in the Ann
Arbor railroad, accompanied by Mr..
Willis, attorney for the company that
intends to expore for iron ore in these
parts. visited Crystal Falls during the
week and started work picking up
options on all mineral land in the
locality of Crystal Falls aud Iron River
that can be secured.
Mr.. Morrow talks very enthusiastic
cally of the outlook and says that his
people have all the money necessary
and are open for deals Of all kinds,
options, leases or purchase outright.
The X. @. lands will be attacked first
although options have been promised
on couple Of choice pieces OF property
in the county and the papers are now
being made out.
IL seems TO be foregone conclusion
that the concern means business and
that they will be working in these
parts before many days pass by

Stock Sold.

The T.. Harris bankrupt stock was
sold at public auction by Referee Flood
last Monday for S625 70 Peter
Warshawsky.
The stock inventoried ST. 800 and
was appraised at twenty per cent less.
In addition there were fixtures ap-
praised at about sac that went with
the stock
The bidding began shorty after two
o'clock and was started by Herman
Rau at $3.50. The principal biders
were Mr. Warshawsky and Mr.. Rau
who represented stock company
which contemplates starting dry
goods store here in the near future.
The bids jumped fast until the $500
mark was reached and then il was like
pulling teeth. The S625.hgure held the
boards for long time and finally Mr..
Flood decided that he had squeezed the
lemon for all the Juice there was in 1t
and sold the stock and fixtures to Mr..
Warshawsky.

SEEK TO SLIDE OUT
Liquor Dealers Find That They are up
Against the Law.

The saloon keepers and brewers
agents are finding out more about the
liquor law these days than they ever
knew before. Early in the week a
movement was started TO let down the
bars in the recent -peddling
crusade.
Under the $50 taxthe agents Of brewer
les can't sell liquor TO any person but a
saloon keeper and thus the business Of
the agents is cut into very severely.
There was nothing said about it as
long as the peddling Of liquor was al
lowed but now that IL is shut off. the
saloon keepers who have been denied
that privilege are not going TO allow
the brewers agents to step in and take
all Of the cream 30 they are holding
said agents 10 a strict accounting.
Accordingly, proposition was made
10 hold a meeting Of the liquor dealers
at w. X. Davison's Office last Monday
evening the purpose Of said meeting
being to get the saloon Keepers lined
up 10 influence the general committee
TO ask for the discontinuance Of the
Recla case, also proposition was
sprung to allow dealers OF all kinds to
sell four kegs Of beer 10 any preson
they chose TO.
The instigators Of the meeting sue
ceeded in getting out just seven saloon
keepers and OF the seven there was
none that felt like letting the agents
have the privilege asked.
Accordingly. the meeting broke mp
without accomplishing any results.
OF course any such agreemnet would
not hold water as neither agent nor
saloon keeper has the right TO sell one
keg without having state wholesale
license.
