til that body is brought entirely from
the domination of the Speaker, "
said E. H. Madison, representative
from the Seventh Kansas District, to
Kansas City Star reporter Satur-
day. "That is the most important
matter that the congressman who
really wants to work and act for
themselves have IN hand now"
1.-The Insurgents made fight for
their lives to revise those rules last
spring. We had little hope of de-
feating Cannon for Speaker. 1t was
foregone conclusion that he would
BE-. elected, but we hoped to change
the rules so that his domination
would not control the action of that
body. We had twenty Eight Repub-
lican votes and the Democrats were
with us. With the Democrats we
had a majority of four or five for a
revision of the House rules
s.There was no doubt of our strength.
Cannon, in order to win, had to gel
votes from the Democratic side.
There was no question of the loyal
ty of Republican Insurgents against
the House rnles.

The Tax Controversy

We do not profess TO De tax cX-
perts. In fact, what we do not
know about the tax business from
the view point of an expert, IS con-
siderbly in excess of what we do
knows, but there are few things
which are plain to any one. First,
the Curtisscrowd is not making fair
statement of the situation. The ap
preparations for the different state
| In ;titutions were made not in lump
sum. but a certain amount for each
one. The law as published in the
official state paper contains these
items, and no more. But the laws
as published in the session law show
two items amounting to several thou
sand dollars which are not credited
to any institution or fund. Just
how these items crept into the ses-
sion laws we are not Informed.
But the enemies of Gov. Stubs use
the gross amount, including these
two items, which is not fair. Mel
Their do the Curtis men state that a
large amount of the sum which
they charge as extravagant, was for
the purchase or lease of coal lands
for the penitentiary. The fact is
that the tax payers are not averse to
paying large sums to support the
colleges and hospitals of the state.
They wish to have and are willing to
dar for. such institutions sufficient
to make them the best in the nation.
The point is, not are the taxes high
er than heretofore, but are the in
creases necessary and for the bene-
fit of the state. The tax payers
would much rather pay $50 900. 90
that the Agricultural college at
Manhatten may be the best possible
of that kind in every particular, than
they are to pay $4,000 for cot for
the speaker of the house to use IN
his private residence, or for mahog-
any chairs for other state officials to
place in their parlors.
Again we are not able to see why
our own representative comes into
this scrap at this late day with the
enemies of Gov. Stubs. Mr.. Nc
Nair was sent to this legislature by
this county for the express purpose
of caring for our interests in every
particular. Why he was silent all
of the time during the session if he
was on the job as he should have
been, and now come in with boiler,
we do not understand. 1t appears
to US that this economical streak hit
him to late to do us or him any good.

know what the consideration was,
but we know the committee appoint

that time we did not know what the
deal was, but it was common gossip
and everyone believed that a deal
had been made with the Tammany
Democrats to save the old rules.
.sThe Louisiana Democrats were
brought into the camp by the sugar
interests. Some of the Georgia
men were brought in, no one knows
how. but it is supposed to be through
some tariff interests. But no one

believe the majority of the mem
bcrs of the House were confident
of the deal, but they did not know
the details. 1t was told that Muir

ply, the Tammany leader, had a,

over the telephone the day the fight
was on and told him what he wanted
done.
CHOSE rules will be changed all
right. The fight isn't over yet.
There isn't going to be any lodging
of responsibility on the rules fight,
the Cannon battle or the contest on
the tariff. The people viii decide
whether they want the fight kept up

ABOUT THE tended to govern.
QUARANTINE the spread of con-
LAWS tagious disease are
intended for the
benefit of the whole population
of a city, town or county where
a contagious disease has broken
out or become epidemic. Ifthese
laws are enforced as they should
be, there is no need that such
disease shall spread beyond its
known limits. Persons or fam
lies who have been quarantined
should obey the directions of the
health officer, and police officers
should see that his orders are
respected by all. The law is
broad, full and covers all cases.
The penalties are sufficient to en-
force the law, and if the officers
do not do their duty they should
be held responsible for their
neglect. If individuals fail to
respect the law and the direction
of officers whose duty it is to en-
force it, they should be rigorous
ly dealt with.
It is morally and legally crime
to disobey the directions of the
health officers. The carlessness
which takes any chance on
spreading such a disease as
scarlet fever or small pox is just
1y considered and treated as a
crime. It is a wrong not to be
condoned if persons through
any feeling of spite make the en-
forcement of the law governing
tue spread of contagious diseases
difficult of enforcement, or
through ignorance of the law
treat the regulations of a health
officer lightly. DR.. Leslie is
doing his duty well, if he errs on
either side it is on the side of too
much 1einecy. Every person
should assist him in every way
possible, for the lives of innocent
children are at stake.

BABES IN TOYLAND'
 HERE THURSDAl I

The stupendous musical eNtrava- ganza, Babes in Toyland, will be presented at the Elks Theater Thurs day night.
 Babes in Toyland will be found altogether superb from a spectacular point of view. It fairly bubbles with tune full hilarity and comedy, and one event of interest follows closely on the heels of it's predecessor that the audience is kept on the qui vive. MacDonough and Victor Herbert composed the music, there being no less than twenty numbers.
 Babes in Toyland'' enjoyed run of over 450 nights in New York and one year in Chicago. This long run for musical play is not at all sur prisine when it is taken into consld- eration that Babes in Toyland is one of the most elaborate and Sor- geously staged musical extraVagan- gas that has ever been seen on the stage Theatersoers are frequently told that they are to see complete production in it's entirety and this occasionally proves to be true.

The lIlks Theater will no doubt be the scene of d very large audience tonight, the attraction being, The Man of the Hour, play dealing with modern life, by George Broad hurst Successes like The Man of the Hour" are few and far between There has not been d dissenting critism since the play was first pro- duced in New York City. The Man of the Hour has also achieved the enviable reputation of being played for the longest consecutive time that any dramatic entertainment ever en- joyed in Chicago, where the piece was seen at the Illinois Theater for
 sixteen weeks. The most disting- uished of English critics, Mr. William Archer. who saw the play when on his tour of the United States in an article in the London Tribune of May 23, exclaimed: Oh that Eng land had an author who could write such a play as The Man of the Hour and managers with the courage to produce it.

JEFFRlES MORE
CONFIDENT NOW
SAYS He WOULD NOT FIGHT JOHNSON
IF He DID NOT THINK He COULD
BEAT HIM.

Queenstown, Oct. 1S-When
James J. Jeffries, the American
heavy weight pugilist, who is a
passenger on the steamer Lusitan-
ia bound for New York after a pc
riod of training in a suburb of
Paris, heard of Jack Johnson's
victory over Stanley Ketchel at
San Francisco, he said that this in
no wise would affect his plans.
Ketchel, he added, was only a
middle weight and not by any
means the best of the middle
weights. ''Ketchel," continued
Jeffries, is trying to feed him
self up to make the heavy weight
class, but it will only weaken him.
johnson is not much of a fighter
and never met a good man. His
fight with Burns was no test.
Burns is newspaper fighter.
Il can only hope," Jeffries went
on, THAT johnson will cover my
money. Iwould not fight him if
l did not think I could beat him. :"
Jefiries said he now weighs 23O
pounds and that he will fight at
21O or PIP pounds.

EDITOR PROVES
:, GOOD WITNESS " / mi
OFFERS TESTIMONY DAMAGING TO
NORTH DAKOTA CLAIMANT OF
FORTUNE. :,

Boston, Mass. Oct. Is. Edward
w. Frentz of Melrose, an editor
on the staff of the Youths Com
panion and an old playmate of
Daniel Blake Russell, the Dickin-
son, N. D. claimant for share
of the $50O,00O estate LETT by
Daniel Blake Russell of Melrose,
testified in the East Cambridge
court that he called on the claim
ant last spring at q Boston hotel
and failed to recognise him as his
old friend.
The stranger failed to recognize
the witness, and also according to
Mr.. Frentz, did not satisfactorily
meet the test questions put to him
as to scenes and events in Melrose
in boyhood days. He asked him
in regarding what use was made
of the large plain north of his
fathers house. The claimant, the
witness said, declared he knew
nothing as to the use of it. The
question was regarded by the
witness as one of his best tests,
because that place was one of the
best strawberry plots in the
vicinity where many of the young
boys worked. .-a
The witness tried to get the
man to name the particular spot
the boys engaged in in the woods,
and witness said he did not know.
Two sisters of James Russeau
were witnesses, and each identified
photographs alleged to be of
Daniel Blake Russell as pictures
of t.leir brother. ass---~ ~,F,~s

MAX BASS DIED
LAST TUESDAY
WAS FOR TWENTY YEARS IN THE EN-
PLOY OF The GREAT NORTHERN
RAILROAD.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-Max Bass,
general immigration agent of the
Great Northern Railway, died to-
day at his home in this city Mr..
Bass has been in the employ of the
Nreat Northern for more than
twenty years. ...r -.
No railroad man, not even
James j. Hill, came into
such personal relations with the
people of North Dakota as Mr..
Bass. During the last twenty
years he has been the land agent
for thousands of men, many of
whom have become wealthy
through the advice he gave. Mr..
Bass studied the territory of the
Great Northern at first hand and
he was a veritable walking en-
cyclopedia of land information.
He could select by memory
almost the ideal piece of land re-
quired by prospective buyer. So
accurate and so minute in details
was his knowledge of the par
ticular sections that his statement
in hundreds of instances obviated
the necessity of a personal in
spection by the purchaser. 1t is
doubtful if there has ever been
a dissatisfied person who was To-
Gated by Max Bass.
He has done much for the state,
far more than is generally &C.
credited. While he was seeking
to settle up the territory con-
tributory to the Great Northern
lines, be realized the need of
doing so with a class ofindustrious,
frugal and sturdy class of people
who would not only build up the
country for their immediate use,
but for their posterity. 1t is to
this cause that the establishment
of the substantial farm homes and
collateral can be traced. H.
North Dakota has perpetuated
his name by christening one of her
towns, Maxbass on the Towner
extension of the Great Northern,
but his greatest monument is the
appreciation of the thousands
whom he has helped to homes and
property.

Minneapolis, Oct. 16.-The
farmers of Western Minnesota
and North Dakota are taking a
hand in the wheat manipulation
themselves this year, following
out the slogan ''hold your wheat, -
and have provided storage for
wheat as they never have before.
John Alger, president of the

has been out on the Great Nor
thern and says the farmers have
vast quantities of wheat stored :,
having used every endeavor dur
ing the summer to build ware
houses. s# :
In many cases where one farmer
has not been able to work the plan
alone he has gone in with q neigh
Dor or two and they have built up
joint granary plants so that the
farming country is dotted with
buildings in which grain is stored
in quantities of from 1000 to
1900 bushels. This has been
done without any ''noise'' and the
farmers say they are going to
hold it to ''bull'' the market q
