HEPBURN URGES
new HOUSE RULES
loWAN MAKES FAREWELL
L aPEEcA. AFTER 90 YEARS
SERVICE I'm CONGRESS

Washington, d. c., Feb. 19.-Near
the close Of a service Of more than
twenty years In congress, Representa-
tive William P. Hepburn of Iowa, de-.
livered his farewell address yesterday,
making spirited and at times bitter
attack on the rules governing the coil
duct Of business in the lower house.
In the last election the veteran
Iowan was defeated for reelection by
a Democrat. For time he entertain,
ed the hope that he would be able to
retain his seat through contest but
he advised against taking such a ster.
Mr.. Hepburn has been active
throughout the present session as
leader of the house Republicans who
advocate change In the rules No
tice was given that he would discuss
that subject yesterday. Accordingly
when he rose in his place every seat
on the floor was occupied and the
galleries crowded.
Cannon Listens to Satire.
| Mr.. Hepburn was in fine form. He
drove home his points against the
house rules with biting satire, keen
wit, and scathing ridicule. Speaker
Cannon was a most interested audi
tor. For years these two veterans
were antagonists on the floor of the
house, and some of the most bitter de
bates In the annals of congress con
tain the names of Cannon and Hep
burn as principals.
81 can discuss this question with
less timidity than some others" de
| clared Mr.. Hepburn, because | will
not be here in the new congress"
He asserted that If the people knew
| the exact state Of affairs in the house
and of all the power arrogated by tn,
speaker and the committee on rules
there would be agitation that would
force the leaders to yield consent tt
radical changes in the procedure.
| There already Is. agitation on this
question: he asserted 1T will con
tinue. There will come day wheI
this agitation will challenge the at
tention of the people, and when thu
attention of the people once Is cen
tered on this question there will be II.
difficulty in taking from the speake
the immense political power he NV
lexercises."
4 Reed Rules Suited to Mob.
The Reed rules, so-called. Mr.. Her
burn said, were devised for mol
They were invoked to meet condition
that were intolerable. Under tn
rules of Reed the house had escape
the irresponsibility OF mob rule, but
had not escaped from the speaker. H
was the all controlling factor now.
None of the animadversion upo
the speaker can be imputed persona
lly to the gentleman who now occupie
the chair" said Mr.. Hepburn. IF W
are to have a. benevolent despot tn
present speaker would be my cholc
OF despot."
Mr.. Hepburn insisted, however, tha
the power exercised by the speake
came from his arbitrary interpretatio
of the rules, the rightlgiven him to al
point committees and select the chai
man of committees and his dictatoris
attitude of refusing to recognize men
bers to call UP bills except by prea
! arrangement.

New England factory, was visited one
day by an old friend from the west.
"Old man." said his friend, "how long
have you been working in this mill?"

N0N-PAYING HOTEL PATRONS.
Inevitable Expense That Proprietors
Of New York Hostelries Must
Be Prepared For.

The proprietor of one of the largest
hotels in New York, speaking of the
uses made by non-paying customers of
his house, said to a rural guest few
days ago: 1--WE have large number
of patrons from whom we never col
lect a cent, although we have no such
thing as a free list. They come here
In the morning. pick up cast-off pa
per, which they read, keeping an eye
open for another, which they grab as
soon as it is dropped. After reading
awhile they stand at the ticker, often
giving long lectures to their fellows
on financial conditions and stock pos
sibilities The overcoat becomes bur-
densome, and it is taken to the check
room, where its owner knows it will
be perfectly safe Then, If they can
tear themselves from the ticker, let
tiers are written on our stationery.
They do not use our telephones, be-
cause we charge an extra five cents
for the CALL but they carry home
matches, toothpicks, blank cards and
blotters, and use up the soap in our
lavatories They also take generous
nibbles of the cheese and crackers in
the cafe. The strangest part of all is
this, that the majority of this class
are well to do and highly respectable,
and on that account we do not shut
them out"

Ten minutes later, back in the hotel,
the pretty girl found herself whirling
about in splendid waltz with a d.
vine dancer, and postponed her tears
and memories till some time when
she should have leisure not so enter
tainingly occupied.
Fifteen minutes later the very young
man paused, smitten, on the saloon
stairway of the Chicago boat, as he
saw vision in blue linen, with glo-
rious eyes, also ascending. The very
young man took a fresh grip on his
suitcase and accelerated his steps as
the vision fioated along to the upper
deck.
'Geei' he breathed. IF she isn't a

ME|HOW RICH N
ANTHONY

In the windows of the Colbert &
Elliott agency, opposite the postof-
fee are displayed some wonderful
samples of anthony taken from the
Lucky Knock mine in the Methow
valley.
Anthony is metal that re-
sembles silver and Is used by the
United States government as an al
10y in all of its gold and silver coins.
1t is a well known fact that both
gold and silver are very soft metals
and require an alloy to give them
durability.
While the Methow is not a mining
country there are many fine veins of
mineral in the valley to be devel-
oped, the best of which is the Lucky
Knock. The mine in question has
two tunnels and one shaft and it's
owners are now preparing to put in
IA mill for its ore treatment.
The samples were brought down
by j. P. McComb, who is resident
of the Methow and a brother Of E.
McComb of Wenatchee. The Nc
Combs have just returned from the
Methow valley, where they have been
fishing for some time with great sue

PERSONAL FRIEND
Of JOHNSON
(By Associated Press.)

Spokane, June 15.-Dr. r. H.
Hopkins of Iron Mountain, Mont.
personal friend of President Andrew
Johnson. who came to the northwest
3S years ago and visited Spokane
when a log cabin and a hitching post
marked the present site of a city of
10000, is visiting acquaintance
here.
While at the Pacific hotel the vet
eral related his first experience in
what was then Spokane Falls. He
came to this part of the country from
the headwaters of Trout creek in
Montana, covering the distance on
foot When he came over the ridge
he fuOnd the occupant of the lone
cabin on the north bank of the Spo-
kane fighting Liverpool Jack" a
desperate, who was shooting from
behind the hitching post, while the
settler was sheltered behind the
shack. The desperate was wounded,
one of his fingers being severed by
a bullet, and the duel came to a
close
DR. Hopkins dressed the wound
and then proceeded to Fort Walla
Walla on foot, where he procured a
horse and continued his journey into
Alaska as far as the headwaters of
the Yukon river. Questioned regard
ing the Spokane country he said that
when he first came here he could
have bought all of the land now oc-
cupied by the city for $4,000, but in
stead of locating here he pushed on
to the Colville country.

DRUNKEN NEGRO

SHOT TWO OFFICIALS OF ILL
NOIS ROAD ON SPECIAL WOOL
BUYERS TRAIN IN EASTERN
OREGON-POSSE IN PURSUIT.
(By Associated Press. }

Shaniko, Ore, June ia drunk
en- negro porter on the wool buyers
special car which was sidetracked in
this place during the sales, early to-
day shot and seriously injured Ber-
nard S. Trumbull, commercial agent
of the Illinois Central with head
quarters at Portland, and John s.
Mclaughlin. travelling freight and
passenger agent of the same road.
Trumbull was shot in the groin, the
bullet taking an upward course, and
Mclaughlin was shot in the side and
leg. The injured men are being ia
ken by a special train to The Dalles
for treatment.
The negro porter, whose name
has not been learned, escaped to the
hills with a posse in pursuit. An
eye witness to the shooting says
Trumbull and Mclaughlin were
leading the negro to the train when
he suddenly broke loose from them
and fell into the street. While in a
reclining posture the negro drew a
revolver and commenced firing at
Trumbull. One bullet took effect
and Trumbull fel Ito the ground. The
negro then attempted to escape and
Mclaughlin interfered, with the re-
suit that he was shot in the leg and
side
