Washington, Jan. 16.-The house com.
mittee on patents yesterday decided to
report favorably the Dalzell bill enabling
inventors who allege infringement OF
their patents by the United States gov
ernment TO seek damages I'm the court OF
claims. That court has decided that un-
der the existing law II has no power to
entertain such claims. hence there is no
relief.
A measure similar TO the Dalzell Dill

The house proposed to amend IL by the

The Dalzell bill contains the retroactive
clause. but will be subject 10 an elmina-

Notes on the Fair

Felt's stand was the chief attrac-
tion for corn growers. The display
was great; there being ~ entries.
There were sixty-two entries in
the horse and mule department and
some as fine animals as ever seen
in the county.
Twenty five loaves of bread COM
peted for that sack of Zephyr -four
offered by VIM. Kraft and the dis
play created such demand for
Zephyr that Mr.. Kraft had to get
in another car load this week.
There were fourteen babies in the
beauty contest and it was the opin-
ion of the judges that each one of
them ought to have had a premium,
which was silver dollar, but they
lacked just 13 of having enough to
60 around.
Ira Duckworth had some fine
specimens of macaroni wheat on
exhibition, grown ON his place east
of town from seed he brought from
New Mexico last season. 1t was the
first ever shown here and he had
the people guessing as to what it
was,

An Explanation

There has been much misunder-
standing regarding the Taft special
which passes through Linn county
next Monday, October 5. I wish
to make a statement in regard to
Judge Taft's stops in Linn county.
There have been unofficial reports
to the effect that there would be q
stop at Laclede, but I have never
received official notice from either
the national or state committee to
this effect and [ would advise all
who wish to hear Judge Taft to 90 to
Brookfeld or else they may be dis
appointed. There will be an ex-
cursion train passing through La
clede about 4:40 p. m. to Brook
field and will return after the meet
ing. The Taft special will stop in
Brookfield for so minutes and all
will have an opportunity to see Mr..
Taft and hear him speak.

huLhCo l1Clu odCTcu III Ills H0u1OTy
that Of mother falls upon his hear
with the most sublime influence
How sweet the recollection in afte
years of a mothers tender training
and who is there that finds so relic
in recurring to the scenes of his in
fancy and youth gilded with th'
recollections of mothers tender
ness. And how many have nobly
owned, that to the salutary in.
fuence, they exerted, they must as.
cribe their future success, theil
avoidance of evil, when no eyes
were upon them, but which resteG
on the heart, the warnings, the
prayers and tears of mother.
Others may love as fondly, but
never again while time is ours,
shall any ones love be to us as
fond, as tender, as devoted, as was
that of our dear old trembling moth
er. Through helpless infancy her
throbbing heart was our safe pro-
lection and support, and through
the ills and maladies of childhood,
her gentle hand ministered and
soothed as none other could. We
feel animated to struggle more man
fully in the great battle of life,
when we remember our mother S
holy counsel to US in childhood's
early dawn and in the slippery
paths of youth. All! those words
OF tenderness-those pious precepts
softened by a mothers love-too
much unheeded, then disregarded-
live now frightened in memory, and
constitute our sweetest recollec-
tions. Her prayers for us in child
hood-her sparkling crystal tears
made an impression on our young
mind as durable as time, and even
now they bid US walk in the paths
Of rectitude.
But alas! how little do a majori-
ty of us appreciate a mothers ten
derness while living! How needless
are we in youth of all her anxieties
and kindness! But when she is
dead and gone: when the cares and
coldness Of the world come wither-
ing to our hearts; when we expert
ence how hard it is to find true
sympathy, how few love us for our
selves, how few will befriend us in
our misfortune, when we think of
the mother that loved us and to her
our hearts turn yearningly.
The question which seems to con-
Germ this country particularly is
how to obtain the most luxuries
with the least work. Some of the
fve-hours-a a-day fellows have fif-
5een-hours-a-day wives, which helps
out a good deal in family; and
sometimes ten-hour-a-day man
inds himself in possession of no
1our-a-day wife, which assures
dough cakes" for that family. |

children all pegged away at some
Useful industry, according to the
'arly settlers, they would rise in i'm
oortance as surely as cream rises on
he top of a pan Of milk. Nor is
he good old plan of industry and
yet entirely untrustwor-
by, though growing more so as
he years roll by. Large house,
me furniture, elegant dress and
quipage with no business or visible
leans to back it up are every day
ights. One is often tempted to
mink there is not much difference
etween those who work and those
no play, but that the balance is in
lvor of those who play. This is a
