of individual propositions are present
ed to the senate during each session
They must go to committees and be
passed upon. Many of the committee
members give but perfunctory atten-
tion to their duties. They are attract
ed rather by the social side of life in
Washington and pass over lightly their
responsibilities to the country and to
their constituents. The men who real-

who thrash out the wheat and DISCARD

on the impositions of the lumber trust.
He had made an exhaustive study of
that grinding monopoly. He intro
duced a resolution demanding an in
vestisation of this criminal conspiracy
that increased the cost of lumber to
his constituents until building became
practically prohibitorv to the men on
the farms and ranches and in the
cities and towns of South Dakota as

country, and he followed the introduce

conspiracy to increase the price of
lumber beyond all reason and that was
backed by incontrovertible evidence.

weeks of patient work, that what he
Salu was true. Ihe resolution was

predicted that the result viii hc ~

a result of this movement against this

Free of Corporation Inli::c.tc.
Friends of Senator I<ittru.i@e who
have known him long and intimately
and who, when he first enterei the
senate, predicted an exceptional ca
reer for him, point with satisfaction to
his record and insist that a careful
scrutiny of it will furnish conclusive
proof of his loyal service to his con-
stituents ana OF his absolute freedom
from all so called corporation ini9u-
ence." Although contrary to what is
understood to be popular BELIEF in
South Dakota, it is said ~ the senl-
tors friends here that he never WAS
a railroad lawyer in the common ac-
ception of that term. 1t is admitted
that he had been employed by rail-
road company in legal contests. but ii
is claimed that he served it preCise.y
as he served other clients-simply as
lawyer-and that when he accepted
his commission as senator he severe /
these relations, holding that it would
be improper for him to act even as
attorney or legal adviser for any in
terest that might be the subject oi
either federal or state investigation
or legislation. 1t is claimed that Mr..
kttredse has steadfastly adhered TO
days before he entered the senate he
never was in any sense the political
represe ntative of any railroad, and un-
der no circumstances would he have
accepted any service which would
have taken him outside of what he
considers the strictly legitimate field
of "a lawyer. to become 4 lobbyist or a
dispenser of corporation favors. fi:a
high conception of the ethics of his
profession is well known, and the
world long since came to recognize
the fact that a capable and con-
sclentious lawyer can generally be
trusted to make wise ana safe pub
tic servant.
A 'Rcpublican of Republicans
His friends here claim that Sena-
tor Kittredge's record shows that his
interests are with South Dakota; that
he has constantly labored for his con-
stituents; that every act of his has
been in harmony with the best thought
of the country ana the highest needs
of the people; that he is a republican
of republicans. striving constantly to
advance the interests OF his party
never for moment led away by
any specious anti-republican doctrine,
in line with the traditions and policies
Of. the republican party. and always
voting right. South Dakota has taken
an important place in the senate
through the ability, influence, char
acter and personal force of Senator
k1ttredge, and Judging from advices
received here the state will honor her
self by returning him to the senate.
where he must inevitably become even
greater power than he is now.

A Tiny Death Dealer,

A most agOnizing death is caused by
an insect half the size of Il pea-a
small black spider. 1t lives in Peru.
in South America. but few speci-
mems have reached Europe in ship
loads of timber. Not long ago dock
labOrer was unlucky enough TO come
upon one in the Victoria docks while
unloading bark. The tiny G2ath deal
er dropped upon the back o. his hand
and dug its fangs into his flesh The
bite itself was nothing, but as soon as
the poison began to work the man
tainted with pain. Soon afterward he
came to and lived three days before
the end came. This spiders venom
scOrches up the blood vessels and
spreads through all the tissues, caus-
ing the most fearful agony a human
being can have to bear. The worst of
it is that the victim lives at least two
days, enduring unthinkable anguish
the whole time. This spider is luckily
not common. 1t is known as the
'specky," and when man who knows
what the bite means is bitten he gen.
orally blows out his brains.-London

Or. Homer c. Stuntz, the Great Meth
odist Missionary, Gives Address.
Camden Camp Grounds, Aug. ID
The weekend exercises were crowded
with a powerful address two hours in
lngth on the transformation of the
Philippine Islands by the American
government. The address was
delivered by DIR. Homer C. Stuntz.
the great Methodist missionary
leader, who came within 30 out of
1000 votes of being elected a bishop.
and stands second in line for that Office
four years hence. DIR. Stuntz was
frequently interrupted by applause.
He described the mineral and timber
resources and the remarkable agricul-
tural fertility of the Philippines.
illustrating what possibilities there
were for making a new world out of
the continent, and that the United
States leaders knew what they were
doing for humanity and this country
when the treaty of Paris was nego-
tlated. While he and his interpreter
were stoned once or twice IN begin
ming the work of preaching Protest
ant religion and free gospel, yet the
Filipinos soon began to love to hear
the preached word and to stand
around the saddles of the ministers
and beg them to come back and
preach Christ. DR.. Stuntz pointed
out that the mahogany forests were
so rich that he had seen a plank
seven feet wide and four inches thick
that polished like a mirror and he
had been offered a round dining
table, seven feet across, hewn out
of one block, and four inches thick,
polished like piano. Being a poor
Methodist preacher, he could not pay
the duty, but turned it over to
General Luke E. Wright, who is
probably using the table now while
entertaining as Secretary of War.

SEN. DUPONT DENIES DIcTATIoN
Gables From Paris in Reply to Message
of Burton.

There was another development in
the Republican situation yesterday
when Congressman Burton announced
the result of a correspondence, by
cable, which he had with Senator du-
Pont, in Paris, in the interest of his
(Burton's) efforts to secure a re-nom
ination. The Congressman sent a
message to Senator DUPONT inquiring
if it was true, as reported, that he
had dictated the nomination of Penne-
will for governor and Heald for Con-
gress. The reply of the Senator,
which was directed to his secretary,
Mr.. E. B. Shurter, was a denial.
The cable message to the Senator
which was sent by DR.. Burton last
Wednesday, in care of Brown, Shipley
& Company, London, read:
"Your friends openly state you die
tated Pennewill- -Heald nominations.
Cable whether true"
The answer, which was received
by Mr.. Shurter on Friday evening.
was:
"Have not dictated any nomina-
tions. Advise Burton, who cabled
me-"
Mr.. Shurter, who is member of
the Republican State Committee as
we'll as secretary to Senator dupont,
telephoned to Congressman Burtor
asking him to come to Wilmington.
Upon the arrival of the Representa-
tive yesterday morning, he was me-
at the Pennsylvania railroad station
by Mr.. Shurter and escorted to the
headquarters of the Republican Stat'
Committee, in the dupont Building
where the cable message of the Sena
tor was read to him.
In discussing the matter, subse
quently, DIR. Burton stated he ha
heard it openly stated that Senate
dupont, before his departure fO
Europe, left instructions with hi
lieutenants to see that delegates wer
elected to the State Convention favor
able to Pennewill for governor an
Heald for Congress. He then de
cided to cable him on the subject.

RAILROAD STILES PROMPTLY.
NO Delay in Adjusting Claims For Ac-
Cidents Down the State.

Dover Del, Aug. 15.-The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has been
losing no time of late in adjusting it's
claims with persons sustaining acci-
dents before they were involved in
the courts. 1t is reported that Walter
Conner, who was struck, knocked from
his team and sustained the loss of his
horses and wagon, has been given
$500 by the company. A claims
agent waited upon William L. Prit-
chett, Of Dover, soon after the acci-
dent at Dover Fair Ground crossings.
wherein his daughter Miss Mary Prit-
chett and Miss Lizzie Collins were
struck and slightly injured and their
horse was killed and the buggy de-
mol5shed. The agent is said to have
asked Mr.. Pritchett how much he
wanted for his horse, buggy and har-
ness and for the girls. "The
morse is worth so much, the wagon is
worth so much, but the girls are in
valuable" replied Mr.. Pritchett.
Il cannot take any money for them,
but if you want to give them some
thing, all right.
