Legislative Doings;;
Ants Lose a Battle

DENVER, Mar. BY vote of 10
to 10 the antisaloon people lost the
first battle In the senate this morning.
Though the issue was not clean cut,
there was opportunity for the senate
to bury the Wardlaw bill, just receiv
ed from the house, which is Identical
with the Carey senate bill and the
senate refused to do so. A fight was
precipitated when Senator Drake, one
OF the temperance leaders. moved that
the Wardlaw bill be referred TO the
committee on judiciary. At least six
OF the members OF this committee are
opposed to any amendment OF the To-
cal option law, and II was the purpose
of the Drake motion to have the bill
smothered in that committee.
DENVER, Mar. 3.-Senator Carpen-

indebtedness OF school districts OF the

8 per cent OF assessed valuation, and
providing that voters at bond cleo

superstitious, and q writer In the At
lautic. treating of The Courage of
Soldier" declares that the soldier de-
rives great comfort from his cheerful
fatalism." lie recalls a beautiful Sep
TENDER day, which was devoted to one
of the fiercest battles ever known. The
color-guard of a conspicuous regiment
had been repeatedly shot down and re-
placed until sixteen men had fallen,
most of them mortally hurt. At this
juncture "A captain of gigantic stature,
the largest among ten thousand men,
seized the colors, and continued to
wave them dehantly until the position
was carried
He escaped untouched, even to his
uniform. while away in the rear rank,
in the least exposed position on the
line, little Irish fish peddler, known
as Mickey the fish, received two sert-
GUS wounds. Mickey was dwarf,
whose enlistment had been regarded as
a capital joke, and whose immunity was
taken for granted.
Somewhat puzzled by the elation
shown by the comrades of giant and
dwarf l inquired concerning their
bithe confidence, and found that they
regarded the double event as clear
proof that all casualties were foreor-
dained and l am well assured that out
of this tranquilizing belief grew a great
peace In many hearts, which served
them well when the storm of battle
shut out all ordinary means OF refuge.
In Illustration Of n more serious kind
of fatalism | win relate the following
We were at Smokers Gap. The
| Eighth corps, under the White Wolf,
as the Indians loved to call Gen. Crook,
! had crossed the Shenandoah at Island
Ford The sun went down in a sea of
| delicious crimson, and even the most
| cautious were so Influenced by the met
aphor of peace suggested by the heav-
emily stiffness that they began to regard
as needless the precautions taken by
our chief, the White Wolf.
Fires were lighted on the river bank :;
coffee the soldiers elixir Of life, was
| prepared and drunk. The twilight
crept slowly on, and was deepening into
! the cleaning, when a staff officer rode
down from an old farm house In front
of us with a report that Gen. Gallatin
! Jenkins was advancing upon us with
heavy force.
A few minutes later there was scat
| 8 II raAg nd a nH
officer was ordered TO call In our skirm-
ish line. Just before mounting. the
Young fellow detailed turned to me and
said:
Il feel strangely to-day. wish you'd
| do this for me. | cannot explain my
reluctance hut none who know me will
| think me afraid
His face was ashy white; his lips
looked dry ! saw that he was ILL.,
| Mounting his horse, | rode rapidly to
the skirmish line and gave the order to
fall back.
On my return I found this young
officer seated at the foot OF tree, prop
ned ND against it. His eyes were fixed
on the sky above him, and between his
parted lips was q bubble Of crimson
foam. A buiiet had passed through his
| chest. aud he had but few minutes to
| live.
What premonition had possessed him,
from what mistaken motive he had
chosen this place Of safety, which
proved so treacherous, win never be
known. lie was killed by sharpshoot-
or. from sGch distance that his death
| might be considered accidental.

TREASURY OFFICIALS PLEASED
WITH NATIONS FINANCES.
Expenditures for the Year Were
1904, 244, OO2, Which Is an
Increase of 27,OOO,O 600.

MISUNDERSTANDING officials are
pleased at the present showing of the
government finances. Ordinarily a def
felt in the government of $780,,
S11,156, as shown by Thursdays state
ment, would not be a matter of con-
graduation. Nevertheless, at the close
of the fiscal year 1909, the treasury Off
cials express much qualification that the
official estimate of a deficit of STA
OOo, 900, made last December, has not
been verified, and are hopeful for a con-
~tinuance of the improvement, which has
been especially noted during the last
four months.
Since the December estimates were
submitted to congress, however, the re-
ceipts and expenditures have shown
marked irregularity, and as late as Feb
ruary last the expenditures were increas.
ing at such a rapid rate, and the reve-
nues falling off so sharply, that it was
greatly feared the balance on the wrong
side of the ledger might by the close Of
the fiscal year reach $4,000, 600.
The result, both of improving revenues
and the strong holding down of expendi-
lures, has resulted in a greatly reduced
deficit.
The customs receipts for the year ag-
gregated 1901 ,209,S63, which is an in
crease when compared with last year Of
$751; 00, 900. The internal revenues pro-
duced $210,329,O63, a decrease of about
s. 5000, 900. Miscellaneous receipts ag
gregated $%56,se3,919, which is a falling
off of about $4,000, 900. The receipts
from all sources during the year aggre-
gated $6o4,432,s46, which is an increase
over last year of $~3,25o,000.
On the side of expenditures, the total
for the year wa $~694,244,o02, which is
an increase over 1908 of about $37,000,-
600.
