TREATY IS ADOPTED,
Establishes Favorable Trade Relations
with Canada-Dominion Gets Mini
mum Rates with One Exception.

PARIS, July 13.-The Chamber of
Deputies adopted almost unanimously
the amended Franco Canadian treaty to-
day, with the concurrence of the Senate.
Deputies Ledin, Mando, Neron, and
Rose opposed the treaty as not suffi-
GENTLY advantageous to France, espe-
cially as regards silks and lace. It was
also asserted that the amendment re-
garding cattle was not rigorous enough,
and that the granting of the minimum
rate on agricultural machinery would be
dangerous to home industries.
Minister of Commerce Cruppi and
Minister of Agriculture Ruau defended
the measure with energy, pointing out
that the treaty was a good business ar
rangement inasmuch as it opened up a
big market for France.
Under the terms of this treaty Canada
will receive all the minimum rates of
the French tariff, with the exception of
the rate on cattle fattened for slaugh-
ter, which will pay the general tariff.

Senator La Toilette and State Senator
Whitehead Enjoy Spin at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 49,
That the day of miracles is not passed
was brought to the attention of Wiscon-
sin people in Washington Monday by a
manifestation utterly unprecedented. A
large red automobile was seen tearing
down Pennsylvania avenue, evidently
headed for Fort Myer to see the Wright
airship. In it were Senator John NJ
Whitehead of GAINESVILLE, with Burr
Jones of Madison occupying the front
seat, while in the rear seat were Senator
La Toilette and Magnus Swenson. If
anybody has seen La Toilette and
Whitehead in the same carriage in re-
cent years the record of the fact has
been lost. But there they were, cheerful

DANDELION AS A BAROMETER.
Clover Leaves When Rain Is Coming
Poor Mans Weather Glass.

The dandeliOn is a dandy barometer,
one of the cOmmonest and most reliable.
1t is when the blooms have seeded and
are in the fluffy, feathery condition that
the weather prophet faculties come to
the fore In fine weather the ball eX-
pands to the full, but when rain ap-
prOaches it shuts like an umbrella. If
the weather is inclined to be shOwery it
keeps shut all the time, only opening
when the danger from the west is past.
The ordinary clover and all its va
Iieties, including the trefoil and the
shamrock, are also barometers. When
rain is coming the leaves shut together
like the shells of an oyster and do not
open again until fine weather is assured.
For a day or two before rain comes
their stems swell to an appreciate ex-
tent and stiffen so that the leaves are
borne more uprightly than usual. This
stem swelling when rain is expected Is
a feature of many Towering grasses.
The fingers of which the leaves of the
horse chestnut are made up keep hat
and fanlike so long as fine weather Is
likely to continue. With the coming Of
rain. however, they droop as if to offer

the space of half an hour if raindrops

WATSEKA, ILL.,, July 13.-This Sec

over the killing of ]. B. Sayler, vice
president Of the First National bank of
Crescent City, by DR.. w. R. Miller, a
we'll known physician of the same city.
On the day Of the tragedy, when Mr..
Sayler was absent from home, it is al
legged that Mrs. Sayler, Dr. Miller, John
Grunder, father of Mrs. Sayler. and a
resident of Oklahoma, who was visiting
his daughter. and Ira Grunder, a broth
er of Mrs Sayler had been drinking.
This statement was made today by Ira
Grunder, who gave himself up to the
sheriff. Grunder said that he had been
overcome by the effect of the drink and
was sound asleep when the shooting be-
gan. So deep was his slumber, he de-
clared, that even the shots and ensuing
confusion did not awaken him.
DR.. Miller, both GRINDERS, and Mrs.
Sayler are in Jail. No move to make
bail has been made so far. Peter Wease,
brother-in-law of Mrs. Sayler, has ar
Miller is held on the charge of muir

William Sayler, brother of the slain
man. is credited with quoting the crowd
at Crescent City, which talked of wreak-
ing mob vengeance on DIR. Miller and
Mrs. Sayler. He is said to have visited
the leaders with pacific counsel and per-
suaded them to let the law take it's
course.

SECOND COOK MAKES GOOD.
MRS. TAFrs HEALTH IS IMPROVED

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 49,
President Taft. the summer bachelor"
of the white house, is sharing the fate
of many other government officials and
Washington residents whose families
have gone away to mountain or seashore.
The President is taking the situation
philosophically, does not seem greatly
to mind the hot weather and is reading
daily with great delight letters from
Beverly which tell Of the rapid improve
ment in Mrs. Taft's health.
Equal Division of Help.
Living bachelor fashion at the white
house is not fraught with the same dis
comforts that beset the mere man who
has his home ''closed up on him" when
his wife goes away, and is compelled to
seek food and lodgings as best he may.
i'he President and Mrs. Taft divided
the white house "help" when the occu
pancy of the Beverly cottage was begun
so the President is well taken care of
and domestic affairs at the white house
run on much the same.
The President, however, allowed Mrs
Taft to take the first cook" to Beverly
while he makes himself content with
the second COOK The second cook is
a legacy from the Roosevelt administra-
ton, a negro girl named Mary, who halls
from old Virginia and whose sway over
the white house kitchens now is COM
plete. Mary has few peers as a cook.
The President is entertaining many
luncheon and dinner guests during his
bachelor days, and the second cook is
providing menus which few imported
chefs could hope to equal.
Fond of Auto Rides
The President has happily solved the
problem of disposing Of the long even
ings by taking long automobile rides
about the city and suburbs. He usually
starts out on these trips about 9:3O
o'clock, returning to the white house at
II or afterward. Capt. Archibald Butt,
the Presidents aide. is always his com
panion on these journeys and usually the
President telephones an invitation to
some cabinent officer, senator or repre-
sentative and stops at the latter's house
or club to pick him up.
Arising at about I o'clock the Presi-
dent devotes nearly an hour with dumb
bells. weights and other forms of exer-
cises prescribed for him. He break
fasts slowly and usually alone, although
during the past day or two he has had
a guest from among the tariff conferees.
During his morning meal and for half
an hour or so afterward, the President
reads the newspapers.
Busy Time at Offices.
Between $50 and 10 he begins his
busy day in the executive offices. AT
100 comes luncheon at the white house,
always with some invited guest for com
pany. The afternoon is devoted to golf,
for the President hopes to play every
afternoon that he remains in Washing
ton. Dinner alwtys finds guests assem-
bled and usually it is an informal and
delightful meal which begins a little
after Z o'clock and continues for an
hour and a half.
