SIMPLE LIFE
FOR The GRANTS
LATEST ADMINISTRATION WE'D
DING WILL NOT ADD AN ES-
TABLIsHMENT TO THE SOCIAL
WHIRL AT WASHINGTON,

1t will probably be a relief to the
great mass of people to know that
the marriage of Miss Edith Root and
Ulysses S. Grant, Ill, was an ex-
tremely simple affair and that the
young couple are going to live the
life far removed from the moving
panorama of society whirl at the
national capital.
Young Grant is quiet, unas-
Stunning studious fellow, with bent
of mind for mathematics, for he
graduated into the army's engineer
ing corps. The bride is girl of
domestic tastes. She has been COM
paratively little known in the swirl
ing circle of Washington society. 1t
is said that she has good sound
sense, and her dissemination to- go
the rounds seems to prove the point.
1t is understood that young Grant
has no money beyond his pay. He
is a first lieutenant of engineers and
his wage is about $3.50 month. He
gets an allowance for quarters, how
ever, provided he is on detached duty
where there are no army quarters.
The government will give him and
his wife three rooms to live in, or IL
he is away from an army post, 1t
will give him the equivalent of the
rent of three rooms.
1t is said that Edith Root, al
though the daughter of rich man,
is perfectly capable of keeping house
frN
in them contentedly.
Lieutenant Grant has an enor-
mously wealthy aunt who lives part
of the time in Chicago, but he has
no expectations from her, and he is
too much of a Grant to to take any
thing II 1t were offered. Elihu
Roots father was college profess
sor, who was earning about $500 a
year, perhaps less, when Elihu was
| boy. The present secretary OF
state was brought up in beautiful
home life with culture all about
him, but he knew what it was tc
work and he has certain ideas about
the beauty of making your own way
when young.
! 1t isn't at all probable that he
will contribute largely to the house
hold funds of his future son-in-law
He doubtless would prefer to let the
/ young couple go it alone for some
time to come. The marriage prcGl
| ises to be entirely satisfactory from
every intrinsically valuable Ameri
can viewpoint.-Chicago Evening
Post.

FEDERAL POWER
AGAINST STATES
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT HAS UP FOR CoNsID.
GRAFTON IMPORTANT CUES.
TON CONCERNING FEDERAL
JURISDICTION

WASHINGTON, D.. c., Dec. a
No case of more momentous import
ance has come before the United
States supreme court in a long time
than the so-called Minnesota con-
tempt" test case, which came up for
hearing today.
The case involves the. question of
federal and state conflict over rail-
road regulation that in the recent
past has caused sensational clashes
of judicial authority, notably in
some of the southern states
The question directly involved is
as to whether the United States cir
cult court exercised its jurisdiction
when, it held Attorney General
Young of Minnesota in contempt
for violating it's injunction against
enforcing the state law regulating
commodity rates, imposed fine of
500 and ordered thee attorney gem
eral into the custody Of the United
States marshal until the state suits
he had begun were dismissed.

"DRYs" ARE AFTER WYOMING
Prohibition Sentiment Marks that
State for Next Big Fight.

CHEYENNE, wyo., Dec. a
Wyoming may be the next state to-
feel the force of the flood of prohi-
bition sentiment that has recently
swept over a large section OF the
country with such remarkable re-
suits.
At the annual convention of the
Wyoming Anti-Saloon league which.
began here today plans will be dis
cussed for putting a curb on the
liquor traffic in this state, with a
view to its total suppression at
later date. The sessions are being
held at the First Methodist church.
A program covering two days has
been arranged, and among the
speakers win be some of the most
prominent church workers, business
and professional men of Wyoming.

REINDEER IN ALASKA.

The reindeer held in Alaska at all the stations had grown to a total of l2, 575 in 1906, from 143 in 1892, the year the animals were first imported from Siberia. Part of the growth in numbers has been natural increase and part from further importations. Of the reindeer herd the annual report of the United States commissioner of education in 1906 says:
 Herds of reindeer are now estab- lished in the neighborhood of Bar row, Kivlina, Kotzebue. Deering and Shishmaref, along the Arctic coast :; Wales, Teller, Golofnin, Unlaklaeet and Eaton or the Bering sea coast |; Ga mhell on St. Lawrence Island, in Boring sea. Panama and Koserefsky on the Yukon rive", and Iliamna, near Cook inlet, in southern Alaska.
 ''Plans have been made for the es- tablishment during the coming winter of herd near Icy Cape, on the shore of the Arctic ocean between Point Bar row and Point Hope, by tranfserring the Eskimo herders Shouda and Ah- ook, with their reindeer, from Barrow to Icy Cape. In this way another link in the chain of relay stations along the Arctic coast will be formed.
 By the erection of school build ings and the organizing of schools and reindeer herds in Arctic Alaska, the bureau of education has establish ed a continuous chain of twelve sta- tions along the Arctic coast between St. Michael, near the mouth of the Yukon river, and Point Barrow, the northwestermost cape of the continent, in latitude T degrees p minutes north. It has rendered communication with the within. region. the Arctic circle (hitherto practically inaccessible du- rin 2 the winter months, possible dur ing the winter as well as in the sum- mer. These stations are near enough to render each other assistance in time of disaster, er-communication being maintained over the open sea during the short summer and during the winter months over the snow-covered land and frozen marshes and rivers by means of reindeer and dog teams. y
