Ben Delk's went to Sabbath
school yesterday and afterwards
went visiting, and if it had not
been for the prompt action of a
neighbor, Samuel Huston, their
home and outbuildings would un-
doubtedly have gone upin smoke.
They left their brooder setting
near the woodhouse with a lamp
burning, of course, and 143 little
chicks in it. Shortly after noon
Mr.. Huston saw smoke at Delk's
house, which soon increased in
volume, and he hurried over to
learn the cause and found the
brooder on fire, the flames MAX
ing rapid headway. He dragged
it away from the building and
securing water he soon put
out the fire, but nothing was left
of those 143 chicks and brooder,
except a mass of black Goals.
This should be a warning to 9TH
ers who have incubators to be
very careful.

yourself.

UNIFORMITY"
An Expensive "Reform" Move
ment, Dies an UnWept Death.

That there will be no radical school
legislation by the legislature this ses-
sion is a foregone conclusion. Ad-
journment day is fixed for May IL,
with a recess from May l to that
date.
Even if the legislators were inclin-
ed to pass school laws they would not
have time to give them the proper
consideration.
There will be many measures en-
acted into school laws, but they will
not be the burning" propositions Of
fered by "reformers" who were look
ing after their own personal and
financial interests.
The demand for state uniformity
of school books has worn itself to
frazzle, and what looked like a lusty
demand at the outset has deteriorated
into peep" that is not heard in the
legislative halls even by those. with
the keenest ears.
An effort was made to manufacture
sentiment on the uniformity" ques-
tion, but when the advocates of that
proposition showed that it would re-
Quire the appointment or state CON-
mission, and would cost the taxpayers
thousands upon thousands of dollars
for which they would get no returns,
the propaganda died an early death
and uniformity was given black eye
from. which it will not soon recover.
An effort is being made to amend
the Shankland house bill, which is
now before the senate, so that school
books can not be changed oftener
than once in five years. The bill as
it passed the house says changes can
not be made except upon vote Of
flve-slxths of the members of the
boards of education. 1t is pointed
out that If the exception" clause is
cut out of the measure, the law will
meet every honest demand for re-
form, for then books could not be
chan ged often and parents would not
be compelled to put up money for
new books from time to time,

| Although President Roosevelt
failed to realize his hearts de.
sire in obtaining four battleships,
he won a victory in the Senate
last week when Senator Hale an.
nounced a committee amendment
to the naval bill making an ap-
preparation, Immediately availa-
BILE, of $1,000, 900 for the con-
struction of the two battleships
authorized by the bill. The fight
for this concession was led by
Senator Lodge, who clearly in
timated to the Senate leaders
that the President would veto a
bill which merely authorized two
ships and made no appropriation
| therefor. While the bill author
ICES the construction of two ships
at a cost of $6, 900, 600 each, it is
estimated that not more than the
81, ,OO0,O available can be utiI-
lied before the first of next year.
If this appropriation has been ex-
hausted by that time an addi-
tional sum can and will be made
available.
There is no little resentment in
the Senate over the action of the
House in failing to make the nee
essary appropriations Of funds for
the construction of the two bat
tleships it authorized, for the
torpedo boats, the new submar-
ines and for the submarines al
ready in process of construction,
appropriations, for all of which
the upper house has been obliged
to add. This course of the House
is regarded in the Senate as a
''grandstand play" enabling it
to point to the increase of appro-
priations made by the Senate and
to virtuously cry "extrava-
gance," when, as a matter of
fact the increases have been rem
dered actually imperative by the
House itself.
Entire harmony prevails be-
tween the Senate steering COM
mittee and the leaders of the
House over the plans to be adop-
ted for insuring financial legis-
lation at this session of Congress.
| At the proper time a motion will
be made to take the Aldrich bill
from the Committee on Banking
and Currency and consider it in
committee of the whole. The
next motion will be to strike out
all after the enacting clause and
substitute the Vreeland bill, and
finally an amendment creating a
currency commission will be add
ed. In this form the measure
will be sent back to the Senate
and from there it will go to con-
ference. Representative Vree-
land has completed practically
his poll of the House to ascertain
the sentiment toward his finan-
cial bill, and says he has found
enough favoring the measure to
pass it. The expectation is that
the commission provided for will
consist of five members from each
house.

Self Control.
BY LEO.


said that he who ruleth his owl
spirit is better than he who tax
eth a city," And this is obvious
because a city may be taken VIC
lently and ruled tyranically-rul
ed by a man who is not able tt
rule himself. And in that case
the ruler becomes to the unfor.
tunate city taken an evil genius,
a curse; a curse to himself as
well as to others, for, as Solomon
has further said, HE that hath
no rule over his own spirit, is
like a city that is broken down,
and without walls"
It is much easier for some peo-
pie to control themselves than it
is for others. Some have wild
natures by heredity and made
more untamed by environment,
and for all such natures self con-
troll is difficult indeed. They are
to be pitied as we'll as blamed.
Others have inherited a nature
well constituted and have always
moved in an atmosphere of re-
finement and culture so that they
control themselves with greater
ease and success.
1t is no uncommon thing for
human nature to average well IN
self control, but fail at some
point. Have we not known very
excellent men who maintain a
we'll regulated life with one ex-
ception, the matter of intemper-
ance in the use of alcoholic drinks?
We knew a gifted temperance or
ator many years ago who delight
ed his audience by his eloquence,
but who, every once in while,
took a spree of drinking. He
meant well, but had lost the pO-
wer to rule himself.
Even the great temperance re-
former, John B. Cough, could
with difficulty control his appe-
tite for strong drink. He had
acquired, in his younger days,
the drink habit, and after years
of total abstinence, could hardly
trust himself within the smell of
liquor. This shows the danger
of the tippling custom. By de-
grees the craving for strong drink
becomes almost irresistible. A
man addicted to drink consulted
his doctor about his sight failure.
The physician said to him, If
you wish to save your sight, you
must quit the use of intoxicants,"
to which the patient answered,
Drink | must" He had lost
control of himself.
In fact, in the matter Of eat
ing and drinking many people
fail to rule themselves and Oft
entimes become total wrecks.
The great Alexander of Macedon
conquered wherever he led his
army, but was a slave to his ap-
petite for strong drink, and died
in consequence at the early age
of thirtytwo. He was a great
warrior, who ruled his army per-
fectly well, but, alas! he failed
to rule himself.
Many fail in the same way, and
sooner or later become wrecks.
It is, as we think, much safer
for every young man to abstain
totally from the use of strong
drink than to drink and acquire
the drinking habit, for at "the
last it biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an adder"
In these modern days much eff
fort is made to do away with the
saloon on the ground that it fur
nishes young people, and older
ones, too, the allurement to
drink. This may be all right,

Minneapolis, Kan, March 2S.-As
Mrs. hester was sitting in her car
riage in front of her husbands drug
and ran away. At the foot of Second
street near the ice house it turned
north and as it turned Mrs. hester
had presence of mind enough to jump
from the carriage into soft sand. Be-
sides being badly frightened and a
few bruises. Mrs. hester escaped
what looked at first to be almost a
fatal accident. The horse was found
across Pipe creek bridge in some
brush with a badly broken carriage.

Billy Clark. One of the Comedians
With Al G. Fields Greater Min
StrelS at the Grand Tonight.

Fields minstrel shows are always
good and the one this year is better
than those that have gone before it.
Doc Quigley says so. And you can take
Docs word for gospel. Doc is the man
ager of the minstrel show and has
been with AL Field for-well, it would
be shame to tell the numbers of years
for Doc looks the part of youth, a
wise one of course, and there is not a
better or more favorable known min
streI man in the whole of these United
States today. And best of all Docs
word can be depended upon.
So when he says the show is a good
one you can depend upon it that it is.
And if there is ANYTHING better than a
good minstrel show, that is anything
which affords more real entertainment
the stage yet and is being saved prob
ably until minstrel shows have out
lived their usefulness. But this time
that is better entertainment than a
escrow forever.
It was led by Mr.. Field in rig. Then
came a large drum corps dressed In
uniforms similar to those worn in the
Continental army. The minstrels with
the silk hats. long tight coats and
swagger strides followed and the rear
was brought up with a band of twenty
eight pieces, a band that played real
music and looked good in red huzar
uniforms. And the parade made big
hit with the crowds on Kansas avenue.

Johnson SPEAKS CUT.
Minnesota Governor VIII Not Seek
Presidential Nomination.

st. Paul, March ga letter was
written to Governor Johnson by swan
J. Turnblad publisher of the Swedish
American Post of Minneapolis, on
March %, asking him to state his
position in regard to nomination Tor
the presidency Governor Johnson
replied:
Your letter in which you state that
you have been subjected to many IN
Quiries as to my plans and status in
connection with the Demo cratic
nomination for president, 1 have for
acknowledgment.
In reply thereto let me say that l
do not believe that any American
citizen should be an active, open can
didate for the nomination to the
presidency.
Amy American would appreciate
the high honor which would come
to him in being selected as standard
bearer of his party. While l recog-
nize that the press has much to say
about me in connection with this high
office 1 have hitherto avoided any
public or private expression regarding
my position. Matters have pro-
crossed so far, however, that 1t
seems to me that 1 should at least
say, in answer to your Interrogation
that if the Democratic party of the
nation believed me to be more avail
able than any other man, and felt
that by my nomination I could con-
tribute any service to the party and
to the nation, 1 should be happy to
be the recipient of the honor, which
it would thus confer. 1 am not I'M
mindful, either, of the high honor
which has been paid me by the people
of Minnesota and if the Demo cratic
party of the state desires to present
my name to the next national conven-
ton, I am sure 1 would have no
objection, but even if Minnesota were
the only state TO declare for me at
that time 1 should still feel that the
distinction was one of the greatest
which could come to me.
'I have done nothing and will dc
nothing in the way of organization
to bring about this end, and shall not
be a candidate in the sense of seek
ing the nomination.
eff however, those who have the
welfare of the country and the Demo
cratic party at heart should feel thai
1 am necessary in this year of grace
1 certainly shall respond to any cal
which may be made upon me. In this
connection 1 desire it understood thai
in no sense am 1 to be candidate
for the purpose of defeating Mr.
Bryan or any other man; that the only
consideration which would induce me
to allow the use of my name would
be the feeling that I might be neces
sary to the cause. Il the Democratic
party should see fit to nominate Mr.
Bryan or any one else the actor
would meet with my approval, and
the nominee certainly would have m!
unqualified support, as I should ex
pect his support if conditions wer,
reversed.
81 have written you fully that yol
may thoroughly understand the situa
ton. In order that there may be NJ
doubt, would say, in answer to you
