rate flxed by the House.
The placing OF oil upon the free list
was a foregone conclusion by reason of
the strong opposition In both branches
Of Congress to making this article
du'!nhle. The senate adopted form OF
countervailing duty, but the conferees
were unable to retain It In the bill.
There seems to be no doubt that
the House leaders will be able to put
through q rule permitting the confer

is typical Of the African sportsman and is declared
to know more about game In this section of the
world than any other game expert.
No more unique sight was ever presented to
the casual observer than that which met my eye
when I alighted from Uganda railway coach at
Kapiu Plains. where Mr.. Roosevelt and his army
were grouped. The station is Sir Alfred Pease's
ranch or estate. as 1t Is known here.
1.-THE Plains" consists Of hardly more than the
sgnboard which tells its name. Mr.. Roosevelt's

was conversing with Hunter Cuninghame and the
former executives gunbearer. Abdallah bin Said,
was awaiting orders from his chief. OF the army
Abdallah is most devoted to his master and the
frequent lashings which the heads of the exped-
tion are often compelled to administer to quell
character. He is a unique type Of African and be-
cause Of his good qualities he commands better
pay than the rest Of his fellows.
The man who aided Mr.. Roosevelt in getting
his expedition ready cautioned him against asking
any of his servants to do duties for which any Of
the others were hired.
The labor union instinct is second nature with
the attache Of the African hunting expedition. Let
a gun bearer try to do the work of q porter or
bush heater and there is war in camp at once.
Neither may the game carriers beat the game into
sight. Perhaps this system IL for the best after
all for the reason that every man specializes and
therefore il able to do his own allotted work to
better advantage.
1t II said here that Mr.. Roosevelt's entire expe-
dition will cost between $4,000 and $4,000. which

Lions, wildebeests, antelopes. girAffes, hippo

other varieties are among the trophies OF the

TO Kermit Roosevelt the expedition has been

thing was new to him. He had read about the

A short time ago Mr.. Roosevelt visited the
American mission near here and he expressed
pleasure at the work which the organisation Is

Perhaps the biggest test Of Roosevetisn siren
uosity came when the party crossed the desert
west Of this city. In this instance they were
compelled to 20 for more than week without
procuring water. All the liquid refreshment they
had was carried with them in great water skins,
suitable for this purpose.
Bwana Tumbo, which is an African expression
OF reverence, was the nickname which MT Roose-

when met the sx.president at Kapiti Plains

travels, he seemed pleased to BE- reminded Of

BOLSTER DISTRICT,
Mr.. Halls Funeral.

The funeral of Abijah C. Hall, who
died Jan. 4th at his home on Oxford
Street, occurred on Thursday afternoon.
The services at the house were private
owing to the illness of Mrs. Hall, who
has recently passed through severe
operation, but public service was held
at the Baptist church of which Mr.. Hall
had been member from the time of its
organization. Rev. j. Wallace CHESHIRE
officiated.
For several years, owing to deafness
and other physical ills, Mr.. Hall has led
rather a retiring life, but those who
knew him, even but slightly, soon dis
covered his many amiable qualities. His
generosity and frankness, his democratic
spirit, his unfailing kindness and good
humor, his strict faith coupled with
broad sympathies which made him toll
Grant of every one who was sincere and
honest, won for him the kindly affection
of every acquaintance. A large circle OF
friends and relatives will greatly miss
his genial presence.
