SPIRITED ARABIANS
DISPLAY ENDURANCE
Mahruss and Nebiram Travel 65
Miles TO Alma in 5 Hours
and IA Minutes

Riding their spirited Arabian steeds,
Mahruss and Nebjram. Richard Walton
Tully and Mrs Tully (Eleanor Gates)
yesterday broke all former horseback
records between this city and Alma,
near Los Gatos. The noted riders trav-
eled the distance, e5 miles, in hours
and IA minutes actual time, or 7 hours
and As minutes elapsed time. The best
previous time, also made by Arabian
steeds some two years ago, was hours
and 81 minutes.
The feat is all the more remarkable
because Of the muddy roads. Even
with this handicap to contend with Mr.
and Mrs. Tully kept bravely on their
way, intent upon breaking the record
once they got started. Their horses
never faltered once during the long
and tedious trip and clearly demon
strated the wonderful powers of en-
durance which steeds of this strain
have shown wherever they have per-
formed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tully left this city at
$40 yesterday morning, and. after a
FIVE minutes stop at the Fourteen Mile
house. resumed their trip, which was
not interrupted again till they reached
San Mateo, where they rested for %
The noted riders then tore over the
muddy roads till Palo Alto was reached.
Arriving at the university town at 11:5l
Mr. and Mrs. Tully took a longer rest
and finally resumed their journey at
1:15. After a stay of five minutes at
Saratoga they reached Alma at 1855.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tully were highly elated
last evening over their notable per-
formance Hopeful of results at the
outset they were somewhat disappoint-
ed at the bad condition of the roads,
but decided 10 persevere. When they
did reach their goal far ahead of the
former record they felt very proud of
their achievement
The former mark for this distance
was made in a two days journey and
in consequence was in no way as much
of a test of speed or fortitude as Mr..
and Mrs. Tully exhibited. Like all
great horsemen and horsewomen they
give all the credit to their great Ara
bian steeds. but without such skillful
handling the thoroughbreds never
would have come within striking dis
tance of the record.

REVENUE DEFICIT PROBLEM

The revenue deficit is giving the
leaders much concern and many would
be delighted if some relief method
could be devised, but this subject is so
interviewer with the tariff that it seems
probable it's consideration will be de-
ferred until the extra session.
In the house the question of the
change of the rules will be much dis
cussed by individual members. but its
consideration will go over until after
the organization of the next house.
1t is understood that early in Janu-
ary the president will send in a spe-
cial message recommending the pro-
lection and conservation of the coun-
try's natural resources and doubtless
there will be some effort made to re-
spond to his suggestions. There also
will be a renewal of the effort to create
forest reserves in the Appalachians and
the White mountains

MONEY FOR CENSUS NEEDED
nc ilOQoc lAhC4y Will OcSlu DuolHcSS
Wednesday by considering the bill pro-
viding the means for the taking of the
thirteenth census.
The senate has agreed to take up
the bill for the establishment of postal
savings banks and Foraker's bill au-
thorizing re-enlistment of the negro
soldiers who were discharged on ac-
count Of the Brownsville riot of 1906.
Party leaders expect that very little
legislation other than the appropria-
tion bills will be attempted. These
aggregate $1O0O00,00O There will be
general effort to hold the appropria-
tions down to the lowest possible limit,
but they will likely. exceed even this
figure. A bill for the improvement of
rivers and harbors will carry not less
than s25.000,000 or $4,000, 600. The
census of 1910 will require an extra
outlay of not less than $40, 100000.
The recent agreement between the
United States and Japan will be con-
sidered by the senate early. A num-
ber of senators have expressed disap-
proval of the fact that the compact
was made without consulting the sem
ate.

Balaena whale, one of the principal
features of the splendid museum in the
new natural science building at the
state university of Iowa. gives an i'm
pression-takes hold of the magma

flesh and blood sporting in his natural
element, the monarch of the deep with

est collection of sea animals upon the
American continent Iowa is bound
TO become the Mecca of the midconti-
nent for all students who wish to study
the life Of the great deep. For the
purposes of geological study this col
