LONG STEPS ASIDE.
VIII Give Curtis His Place on Indian
Committee.

Washing ton, Feb. 9.-Senator Long
has decided to surrender his place on
the senate committee on Indian affairs
to Senator Curtis.
Mr.. Long wants to devote more time
to agricultural measures. He is a
member of the committee on agricul-
ture, probably the most important SO
far as the interests of Kansas are con-
cerned of any in the senate.
Curtis is especially equipped for the
Indian committee. For fourteen years
he was on the house committee, and
for the past six practically its chair
man, so far as Indian Territory mat
tiers were concerned. Notwithstanding
the fact that Oklahoma may soon
have two senators and five representa-
tives in congress to look after its in
terests Curtis will continue to take a
hand in Indian affairs on account or
his wide knowledge of the subject and
his tribal relations, being member of
the Kaw tribe.
Long will continue to be consulted
on political matters affecting the terri
tory especially if the new state sends
Democratic members to both houses of
congress, but will get away from detafi
work which has been shouldered upon
him by the people of the territory ever
since he became senator.
Senator Curtis is now chairman of
the committee on Indian depredations.
That will not interfere, however, with
him serving on the big Indian commit
tee and he Will hold both places.
Senator Long today, In a speech,
paid his respects to the senate for vot-
ing down the amendment yesterday TO
remove restrictions from the lands or
all but fullblood Indians. He said he
regretted the senate should vote to
leave the Indians at the mercy of
grafters There are only two classes
of people benefited by a continuation
of the present policy. he said. "They
are lawyers and grafters."
'They have everything their own
way" he continued. mo actual
homeseeker will invest money in land
there now. as he does not want a
cIouded title. 1t is like buying a law
suit. Spectators want the titles cloud
ed. They then buy land at their own
figures and depend upon the courts to
uphold the titles later on. There isn't
a lawyer in the territory, nor a sena-
tor on the floor. but believes the spec
ulators will win in the courts. and then
they will have all the Indian lands in
their possession, while the homeseek-
ers have nothing. If restrictions were
removed there would be keen compe-
tition to purchase Indian lands, and
the Indians would get what the prop
erty is worth. AS it is. they are land
poor and in order to get money to live
on sell lands at any price the CRATER
fixes"

For nercy's sake, but what have
you got in that boxl''
"None of your business! It's come
to pretty pass when 1 can't bring a
box into my own house without a cur
touS woman and a yaller-eyed old cat
raising a row about it. By the seven
bulls of Basham, but I'll have that
cats life before he is two days older!"
The box was placed on top of the
bookcase in the sitting room, the cat
was hunted into the cellar and the
Bowser family went back to their
meal. Mr.. Bowser was mad and Mrs.
Bowser didn't think it polite to say
anything further and so there was very
little conversation going. For rs min
utes after going up stairs nothing was
said about the box. Mrs. -Bowser heard
suspicious scratching from the inter-
ior and thought of pet rabbits, coonS
and foxes, but made no inquiries. At
length Mr.. Bowser sat down and took
the box on his knee and said:
There Is no great mystery after all.
There was farmer in the office few
days ago and he was telling me about
his bantam chickens. I was interested
and today he sent me a rooster as a
present. 1t is here in the box
"a rooster!" exclaimed Mrs, Bow
ser. why on earth should he send
you a rooster ?''
"Oh, then tits the most wonderful
thing that ever happened, is it? If
a farmer wants TO present me with a
bantam rooster 1 don't see anything
so very paralyzi1g in the fact
But what can you do with it?'
HE said he firmly believed 1 could
teach it to talk if 1 would spare a lit
tie time Parrots talk and 1 know of
no reason why roosters shouldn't. If
could be the one to bring out a talk
ing rooster, it would be a thing that
all natural historians would sit up and
take notice Of"
Lets see him.

the box and lifted out a bantam
rooster about as large as a turnip.
The bird had been sadly ruffled by his
roll on the floor of the hall, but when
he had been smoothed down a little
he plucked up courage and uttered a
defiant crow. 1t was a small rooster.
but a big crow. 1t rang shrilly
through the room, piercing the ears
like the sound of a saw striking a
nail in a board. and while it made
Mrs. Bowser cringe it brought smile
to Mr.. Bowser's face.
Ever hear a parrot get off any
thing like that?'i he asked. 'I believe
with the farmer that this bird can be
taught to talk There was something
like human speech in the last notes
of his crow. I will place him on the
chair here and give him a first lesson.
We will begin by giving him a simple
word. We will name him Dick and
will repeat Dick, Dick, Dick, Dick,
Dick, Dick"
Dick was interrupted right there
by the cat. He had sneaked up stairs
to see what was going on and the
sight of a chicken standing on a chair
and peering about under the rays of
the gaslfght was too much of a tempta-
ton. He bounded forward and seized
the bantam in his mouth and would
have been off with him had not Mr..
Bowser made a lucky kick.

BowsERs GETS a PRESENT.
AS a Consequence Several Things
Happen.

When Mr.. Bowser reached home the
other evening, he was carrying hat
box with numerous holes punched in
the cover and as he carefully sat it
down in the front hall with COM
placent smile on his face. Mrs. Bow
ser Queried:
"A new hat. Ell? What style is it %
Never mind the style until after
dinner. It's ready. I suppose?"
Yes, but you have half a dozen hats
round the house already. Why did
you buy new one?"
For reply, he laughed and led the
way down to the dining room. He was
in great good nature, but he refused
to answer any questions touching the
hat. Mrs. Bowser finally decided in
her own mind that it was hat he
had taken down to be pressed and re-
shaped and the meal had been half
finished when something like a scream
was heard from up stairs and with a
BY thunder!" on his lips Mr.. Bowser
rose up and dashed from the room.
She followed him and what she saw
on reaching the front hall was the hat
box being rolled over and over on the
floor by the cat while smothered
screams came from the interior.
You villain, but I'll have your life!''
shouted Mr.. Bowser at the cat as he
rushed forward.

When he arrived at the Jail he seemed
so sane that he was released as he said
that he wanted to get to Kansas City
where he had friends who would care
for him until he was well. He was
accompanied to the station but before
a train arrived he became violent
against and attempted to assault pas
senger who was on the platform
He was again brought to the county
jaiI and locked in the parlor cell and
few moments later became violent and
tore up all of the bedding in the cell
and attempted to break the windows
Everything was taken from his cell
and after a while he became more
quiet but has not been able to tell who
his relations in Kansas City are or
where he hopes to find them. One of
the Greeks of the city was sent for
but he was unable to make anything
out of the story of the man.

TORE UP THE BEDCLOTHEs.
Greek With UnpronounceabIe Name
Becomes Insane on Santa Fe Train.

A Greek, whose name as nearly as
1t can be made out. is Molco Makear-
ines, was taken from a Rock Island
train Friday with as select an assert
ment of bats as usually frequent one
belfry and taken to the police station
and booked as a violently foolish one.
Apparently he is a laborer and when
searched at the station a ticket was
found good for transportation from
Wichita to Kansas City.
He became violent shortly after the
train left Emporia and it was neces-
sary for the train crew and passengers
to bind him to his seat with ropes.
The conductor of the train tele-
eraphed the officials in this city and
when the train arrived at the station
1t was met by an officer who conducted
the prisoner to the county Jail.
He seemed rational and made no
objections to accompanying the officer.

IN THE HOUSE.
Nation Accounting Bills Rec
commended for Passage.
Pure Food Law Passes the
House at Last.

The house committee on state at
fairs has reported favorably upon the
Nation bills providing for new sys-
tenn of state accounting The vote was
Two Democrats voted against the Ma
ton bills.
Those favoring the Nation bills were
Grasse, Mercer, Fraser and Edwards
Against: Potts, Hart and Flanagan
The Nation bills were introduced
by Parks Helmick. The committee
recommended three amendments to
the bills one of them being to impose
certain penalties on the state auditor
for a violation of his part of the ar
rangement.
The bills introduced by Helmick
provide for a more perfect check on
all state departments by the state
auditor. especially on the treasurers
office. Since they were introduced
State Treasurer Tully has found
numerous objections to them and al
his instance bills covering a part oil
the same ground have been introduced
by Banks OF Montgomery There are
in all seven bills introduced by Hell
mick and two by Banks.
The house had its first concert read
ing on Friday afternoon, and cleaned
the third reading calendar of local bills,
while the spectators and new members
sat by in open mouthed establishment
at the marvellous way of enacting leg
islation-
There were % of these bill and of
course every one of them had to be
read through to the house and a roll
call taken on each. J. w. Holdrer
moved that all of the bills be read at
once, and that the same roll call be
recorded for all of the bills. This mo-
ton was carried, but there We're not
enough reading clerks to read all the
bills a. once, so the author of each bill
was called up to the speakers dais and
given his bill. Those that had more
than one bill got a page to assist them
or called on some friendly member.
The p men and boys then stood in
line before the house and at word
from the speaker each began to read.
The house members who were fortunate
enoIgh not to have any local bills in
this grist stayed in their seats and
amused themselves by yelling Louder"
at the unfortunates.
Then the roll was called, everybody
voted aye except seven and all of these
changed their votes or wanted to
change them before the vote was an
