Arkansas Man wrathy.

p The republicans, amused, goaded Mr..
Macon to proceed. Tile Arkansas member
declared that the gas on his stomach never
had been so disagreeable that he had felt
called upon to reflect upon the action OF any
member in order to exploit the fact that
he had cast a vote in a certain way, after
the newspapers had ignored him.
You will observe" he said angrily, that
these cynical people when they are ignored
by the newspaper reporters come to the
floor of the house and call attention to
what they have done"
Mr.. Macon insisted that he never had
objected to anything unless he did so
intelligentiy. A representative who did
otherwise, he said, was unfit to hold a
seat In congress.
With biting sarcasm, Mr.. Rucker said
that Mr.. Mann was wrong in his con-
chlsions, while Mr.. Macon was right. Mr..
Macon, he said, had proclaimed himself
from day to day as the watch dog of the
treasury.
But" he added, he has cost in my
judgment more money by the delays he
has occasioned by his objecting moods
than all the other members"
Continuing Mr.. Rucker said. II DOM
know how the gentleman recognized him
SER When 1 gave the description or a
man who appeared upon my ranch and
asked for food and raiment. II a correct
measurement was made according to the
g~entleman's measure of his standing
he would be about six feet five"
The republicans shouted with laughter,
which was turned into applause when Mr..
Macon arose.
He did not, he said, purpose to handy

WARM WORDS IN THE HOUSE
Honorable Members Get Angry at
Each Other.
ONE THREATENS TO RESIGN
Macon of Arkansas, RuCker of Colo
RADIO and Mann of Illinois En-
gage I'm sharp
Tit,

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The house to-
day transacted a general assortment OF
business. 1t began by passing an omni-
bus bridge bill, then listened to an apol-
ogy by Mr.. Hobson OF Alabama, for hav.
ing last February made some uncompli-
montary statement about Ambassador
O'Brien at Toxic, and further considered
Iuu Urgent deficiency bill.
BY way Of making the session especially
interesting there were several lively Tits,
one Of which eliminated in an announce
ment by Mr.. Macon Of Arkansas that he
would resign his seat If II could be proved
that he was a legislative INSTRUCTOR.
The air was surcharged with elimination
and r~ecrimination, but the most serious
discussion centered about Francis j.
Heney, special assistant to the attorney
general. Chairman Tawney Of the ap-
preparation committee made the statement
that Mr.. Heney had received during the
last year $4,000 for services he did not
render.
Mr.. Clark of Missouri, the democratic
house leader, went after the "scalps" OF
some United States attorneys and without
being specific, alleged that a good many
Of them were incompetent, necessitating
the employment of special counsel to
NAiNNA NAANAA WIN IL AAAS
were in none too happy a frame Of mind
when the house at Sis, with the urgent
deficiency bill still pending, adjourned un-
til noon tomorrow.
Statesmen in n Jangle.
The controversy was between Mi. Macon,
Mr.. Ruoker OF Colorado and Mr.. Mann of
Illinois. Mr.. Rucker had the floor, and af-
ter stating that he had voted for the APP
preparation of S25, 900 to pay the travelling
expenses of the president he addressed
himself to Mr.. Macon in what was sup
posed to be a sarcastic manner. He then
entered upon the discussion Of a provision
granting money for the board of children's
guardians, and thus fell into a colloquy
with Mr.. Mann, during which the latter
said that this money was used for the most
part in sending office seekers home. Be
lieving this to be a thrust at him, Mr..
Rucker remarked that Mr.. Mann could
have Coloradn,s share of the appropriation
to transport those who had come to Wash
ington from Illinois.
Mr.. Mann accepted this as a personal re-
tort, but Mr.. Rucker protested that he
did not intend it so. Mr.. Mann declared that
he had sent back more stranded people to
Colorado than to Chicago.
This tilt over, Mr.. Macon, who had be-
come offended at a comparison in which
Mr.. Rucker had INDUCED, took the floor.
The Colorado member had said that the
Arkansas man reminded him of a six foot
fellow who had applied at a Colorado
ranch for food and raiment and had got
both, but after remaining there for only
thirty days it was found he could only
say whoa" ...
THE gentleman from Colorado" Macon
began, has attempted to relieve some of
the gas on his stomach by telling an old
yarn here that he applies to myself"

party in favor Of the bill i'm Finland

interesting and attractive program.
The chief and most enhancing fea-
ture of the evening will consist i'm the
excellent rendition of st. Agnes. drama

Effective drills. recitations and dia-
logues, together with vocal and in
strumental selections, viii be rendered

A hearty and cordial welcome is ex-
tended 10 ALL
st. Agnes.
The tongues and pens OF all ma
tions laud the praises of this saint,
who overcame the cruelty of the tyrant
and the tenderness of her age, and
crowned the glory of a chastity with
that Of martyrdom.
Rome was the theater of the tri
umph of st. Agnes. She suffered not
long after the beginning of Diocletians
prosecutions, 303 A. ID.
When led to the altar of Minerva at
Rome and commanded to offer incense.

sign of the cross.
She did not shrink when bound hand
and foot, though the gives slipped
from her young hands. ana the heather
bystanders were moved TO tears.
The Infatuated judge, seeing that
pain had no terror for her, inflicted
upon this intrepid young soul an in
suit which Jesus her Heavenly spouse,
designed miraculously To punish.
Agnes was afterwards condemned to
die by the headsmans axe. Having
proclaimed that she would not abjurc
Christ. she bowed her head and con-
summated her glorious sacrifice. Her

DEVELOPING BIG BUSINESS.
Railroads Of Northwest Look for Re
cord BREAKING Year in 1910.

II
According Go railroad man I'm the
city this week. the railroads OF the
Northwest are at present doing a larg-
er business than at any previous time
in two years. Both the freight and
passenger business is exceptionally
good. A record breaking passenger
traffic for the coming holiday season
Is looked for In all parts of the coun-
try.
Most of the railroads OF the north
west are making preparations TO
handle an increased traffic. Many new
cars have been ordered and some of
them have already gone into commits
sion. Extensive contracts for the con-
struction of locomotives have also
been made by some of the more inn
portant railway systems. The Chica-
go. Milwaukee and 81. Paul Railway
company recently added new sleeping
ears on its line between st. Paul ana
Chicago.
The passenger business I'm the East
ern states compares favorably with
the traffic in the Northwest, and the
mdnugemeHts OF the IdiiIuduS III NV
South look for an exceptionally heavy
traffic 10 the southern resorts the COM
ing winter.
Occasionally complaints are heard
of shortage Of cars i'm the northwest
territory, but the various systems are
handling their cars TO better advan-
tage than they ala during tho heavy
rush in 1906 and 1907. The increase I'm
freight traffic has developed gradually
and the railroads have had every OPP

POSTAL TELEGRAPH NOT
CONNECTED WITH MERGER

Representatives of the Postal Tele-
graph Company in the upper peninsula
have received word from the president
OF this company. denying that 1t has
anything TO do with the combination
Of the Bell Telephone and Western
Union companies. President Clarence
MaeKay says:
I'VE have had nothing TO do either
directly or indirectly with the combin-
alton of the American Telephone and
Telegraph company with the Western
Union Telegraph company. We have
not wished to join in ana have not
been invited to join in. There have
been no negotiations whatsoever with
us i'm regard to the matter, and there
is every reason why we should not
have anything to DO with IL. We knew
nothing about IL until the day when
IL was publicly announced. 1t is true
that we own large block of stock of
the American Telephone and Telegraph
company. but that is one of our many
investments. We have never had and
have not now any representation on
the board Of that company and our
stock is not consulted or considered
more than the stock of any other stock
holder. As you will see from the fact
that We knew nothing about this deal
until II was publicly announced.
"The statement that William H.
Baker represents MS is incorrect. He
does not represent us in anything in
the slightest degree. Neither have we
had anything to do with purchases of
telephone companies in the middle
west. our company is slow and con-
sentative i'm it's investments, bat
swift and aggressive in it's service.
We are not disturbed in any way We
have successfully met hard competition
'or over twenty-five years and have
and are I'm first class finan-
,ial condition. better now than ever
before. We have waited until this
natter had simmered down so that we
,ould make one statement covering |
he whole subject. As ! stated sever
Il weeks ago. competition will con-
inuc and IL will be the real compcu-
ion the same as heretofore"

Darwin and Wallace.

In 1858 Wallace sent to Darwin a
paper in which he sketched the out
lines of a theory identical with that
upon which Darwin had so long been
at work, The same sequences that
led Darwin to the discovery of natu'
raj selection and its consequences
had led Wallace to the very thresh'
old of the same discovery; but in Mr.
Wallace's mind the theory had by no
means been wrought out to the same
degree of completeness to which II
had been wrought in the mind of Mr.
Darwin.

FOOTBALL OFFICIALS RARE.
II is Harder to Keep Track of Football
Than Baseball.

It is Harder to Keep Track of Football
Than Baseball.
Football oficials-that is good ones
are scarce. 1t is considered a hard
proposition to umpire a baseball game,
but satisfactory umpires-to the public
generally. if not the players-are to
be found rather numerously. Not so
with football however. Whatever
may be the controlling causes it is
easy Co see that officiating i'm a football
game is not the open affair that base
ban is and the chances for infractions
Of the rules much greater.
In practically every play in football
the officials are matched against -
men. any one of whom may infringe
some rule and the job of keeping tab
on the game is consequently a most

Poor Fisherman Fined
Because David A. Hebert a fisher
man of MAMMA, Delta county, neglected
to secure the necessary license from
the secretary of state to operate n
gasoline boat in connection with his
business, he was fined SO and costs
in Judge Emil Glaser's court at Es-
canada and in addition was forced to
deposit SO with the court to secure
a license. The arrest was made by
Deputy state Game Warden w. III.
Harrington of Ishpeming. who has been
making a quiet investigation among
the fishermen of the district latterly.
The new law requires that a license
shall be secured for each boat operat-
ed by fisherman and Hebert had ne
elected to secure such a document.
