Senator BristoW Bristles.

Senator Brlstow criticised both pro-
visions, and his criticisms opened the
way for a general debate between Bris
tow and Clapp on one side, and Aldrich
and Lodge on the other. It was con
tended on the one hand that the two
provisions combined were intended TO
promote the interests of the American
Sugar trust and not TO benefit the
Philippine producers. il was argued
by the supporters of the provision tina
the sugar producers of the Philippines
would be benefited by the admission Of
their sugar into the United States with
out requiring the payment of duty
on it.
Tho only vote taken dnring the days |
session was on amendment by Mr. Bris- !
tow admitting sugar into the Philip |
pines free of duty. 1t was lost, II

Senator Stone of Missouri gave no.
tlce that he would soon offer an amend. |
mcnt declaring for the independence of |
tire Philippine islands within sixteen |
years, an agreement having been mean
while arrived at with the world powers
for the maintenance uf the indeperd- |
ence of the islands. 1t was freely |
stated around the senate chamber that |
the Philippine paragraph had the in |
dorsement of President Taft in his own |
handwriting, and later Senator Aldrich |
stated that 1t had been indorsed by the !
president. Senator Clapp expressed in
credulltv on that point,
Taking no final action on the Philip
pine free trade section, submitted by |
the finance committee as a substitute |
for the house provision, the senate to-
night listened to argument pro and con
on the various Philippine questions.

Philippines Discussed.

The Philippines were the subject of
consideration by the Senate as soon as
The tariff bill was taken up today, The
finance committee s provision regulat-
ing the payment of duties on commc.
dltles coming INTO the United States
from the islands was taken up after
the Senate had held an executive ses-
sion and became the subject of an ami
mated discussion The provision per-
mlts the free Importation of Philippine
goods with restrictions and exceptions
and on motion Of Senator Lodge. il was
made applicable to Guam and TutuilIa
on the same terms,
The language of the paragraph relat.
ing to the free admission of products
from the Philippines was changed 10
make clear that all manufactured arti-
cles imported into the United States
from the Philippines should he COM
Of the islands or of the United States.
The change was made upon suggestion
of Senators Bulkeley and Brandepee
md was intended 10 permit Connccti-
cut cigar wrappers 10 be taken to the
islands and to be imported into the
United States as part OF a cigar free
of duty.
The provision requiring raw or re-
fined sugar 10 pay the same duty when
imported into the Philippines as when
imported into the United States aroused
Senator Bristow, who thought he saw
in il an advantage to the American
Sugar Refining company.
Senator Aldrich said nc had not
heard such an objection before and
added that unless some such regula.
ton was made sugar might be shipped
into these islands and then come into
the United States free of duty,
Plan Called "Humbug.''
Declaring that the Philippine sugar
was 90 poor in quality that there was
no market for il in tho United States,
Senator Bul5clcy said The legislation
allowing 100000 tons annually TO come
into the United States ''was a hum
bug. The sugar industry in the
Philippines, he said, had como down
until now only 165,00 tons werc raised
he said, is the ''laZIness and stupidity
of the people.
Resuming his remarks, Senator Bris-
tow said,
f'Whcn YOU enact this law admitting
100000 tons of Philippine sugar into
this country free of duty, YOU do not
benefit single American except he be
interested in the American Sugar re-
fBiQg company. Primarily the sole pur-
pose Of this bill il TO benefit the Phil
ippIne islands and the F1lipinos. Every
year they import from Germany and
China several millions Of pounds of
sugar and now the incorporation Of this
provision for n duty on sugar imported
into the Philippines will force the peo
pie of those islands TO purchase the re-
fined sugar from the American Sugar

Sun Lights Gasoline.


Chamberlain, Aug. 10 The
fine dwelling house Of Louis
Dvorak Of Gregory was de-
'stroyed by fire which was start
ed in a peculiar manner. The
midday sun shining on a mir
Tor and the reflection striking
the tank Of a gasoline stove in
the kitchen lgnited the gasoline
and caused an explosion. Mrs.
Dvorak was sick in bed at the
time and there had been no fire
in the kitchen for a number Of;
hours. After the gasoline ex-
ploded it was but a moment
until that entire portion Of the
building was a mass Of flames.
It was but a short time until
the flames spread to the other
parts Of the house and ragged
until only the blackened walls
remained. Mrs. Dvorak was
removed with some difficulty to.
q place Of safety.

Jealousy Of Woman Assigned a. the
Cause Of she Tragedy Story
Told by Almost Eyewitness.
Frank Lewis, a colored cook.
whose age is given as about 30
years, murdered Dora Over
street, also colored, Wednesday
morning, in the little cottage
located at 81 Sherman street,
Deadwood. He then commit
ted suicide by cutting his own
throat with a futed' pairing
knife. His victim was pounded
to death with patty moulder.
The person having come near
est to witnessing the crime was
Ethel Scott, colored, who has
been in the city hardly more
than a week.
According to her story, as
told the coroner's jury, the two
women slept together in the
bedroom at the rear Of the,
house, while Lewis occupied
another room. During the ev-
ening, Lewis and Mrs. Over
street quarrelled continually,
and once the man threatened to
kill the woman with a razor.
Wednesday morning, shortly
before six o'clock, Lewis an
nounced that he was going
away and started to pack his
trunk. Then the couple start
ed quarreling again, and Mrs.
Scott says she left the house at.
this point, and q moment later
was startled by screams, evil.

Rushing to the door, she beheld
Mrs. Overstreet struggling in
the arms Of Lewis. Blood was
streaming from the woman's
face. Lewis warned Mrs. Scott
to keep ont and stepped toward
her, whereupon she slammed
the door and ran for help, not
returning until the arrival Of
Officer Buss, who had been
summo mohed by Burlingtontrain
mon, to whom Mrs. Scott had
given an inkling Of what was
going on.
Officer Buss was unable to
gain admittance at once, as he
found the doors locked. When
he finally managed to enter the
room an awful sight met his
gaze. The woman lay out
stretched, her head hardly more
than a battered mass Of pulp,
the features cognizable.
She was but half dressed and
the clothing and bedding were
covered with blood. Lewis lay
on the floor in the middle Of
the room in the center Of q pool
Of blood, his throat cut from
ear to ear. He breathcd his

almost invariable give the best
returns in this state. In seven
years experience at the college
early oats gave an average yield.
of 20 bushels to the acre more
than any of the later varieties.
These were tho Lincoln OATS.
also known as Kerion, Sixty
Day, Early Russian and by
some other names. There are
some Of these grown in nearly
every community. Why not
procure seed Of these different
kinds Of grain now while it can
be done cheaper than it can be
done later. If some slick stran-
ger were to come along Offering
you a wonderful oat with a big.
name, million Dollar), that
would mature early and would
yield 80 bushels to the acre
more than the later varieties,
many farmers would pay SIS a
.bushel for some seed. Some
neighbor Of yours has just such
q variety Of oats. Why not
deal with himi There is also
a great difference in the quality
of the wheat grown by different
farmers. If yours is not the
BEST. just own up to it, and go
to your neighbor and get some
thing that is better.
If you have some good seed
of some especially good variety,
be neighborly enough to try
and get it used in your commu-
nifty without charging two or
three prices for it. You can
we'll afford to sell it to your
neighbor for theI same price it
would bring. at the elevator.
We hope farmers will take hold
of this matter and try and inn
prove the quality Of the seed
for next springs sowing. All
of the elevator companies ope-
rating in the state, and espe-
.cially the Farmers elevator
companies, should make a spe-
cial effort to disseminate bet
ter seed grain in their territory.
