TARIFF VOTE IN THE HOUSE
Twenty Republicans Oppose Adoption
Of Conference Report.

of Conference Report.
Washington, Aug. 3.-The house
adopted the conference report on the
tariff bill, 1876 to 1873. Twenty Repub-
Hcans voted against the report and
two Democrats for it.
The vote was the climax of an
eleven-hour session. conducted through
standing it was enlivened by dozen
or more speeches of more or less fiery
nature.
The twenty Republicans who voted
against the adoption of the report
were as follows:
Representatives Carey wis.,, Da-
Wis (Minn), Gronna IN. d., Haugen
Qa.), Hubbard Qa), Keifer CO.,. Ken
dali Qa.), Lenroot wis.,, Lindbergh
(Minn.), Mann Qll.), Miller (Minn) ,
Murdoch (Kan.). Nelson wis.,, Nye
(Mlnn.), Poindexter (Wash.), South
wick IN. ", Steenerson (Minn.), Ste-
vens (Minn.). Volstead (Minn.) and
Woods Ia).
The Democrats who voted for the
report were Representatives Brous-
sard and Estopinal of Louisiana.
A change Of three votes would have
killed the tariff bill in the house on
one of the roll calls. The motion to
recommit the bill, which meant it's
death, was defeated by only five votes.
Two Louisiana Democrats, interested
in maintaining high sugar duties, and
ether Democrats absent and not
paired saved the measure. The Incl
dent shows its unpopularity. q.

UNCLE JOE" WILL
reward FAITHFUL
Committee Assignments to Be
Announced This Week.

Washington, Aug. "a choice So
lection of committee assignments Is
to be handed out by Speaker CANNON
this week. It is impossible to verify
this statement by anything that is
said by those prominently men
toned" for certain ohairmanships, but
the fact remains that faithful service
and fidelity to the speaker and the
Republican REGULARS" Is probably to
be rewarded before the special session
adjourns. 1t Is not likely that there
will be any time for speeches as to
the merits Of the speakers assign
ments, but this does not indicate that
the members of the house are not per-
sonally more interested IN Uncle
Joe's" programme more than they
have been in the tariff.
When certain Republicans waged
war on the rules which the REGULARS
wanted adopted at the beginning of
the extra session the insurgents
were fully aware that If the fight was
lost the members defeated would not
be likely to get choice berths on the
committees. Therefore these "insur.
gents" will not be disappointed, but
there are number Of regulars" who
will of necessity be considerably
grieved, as there Is a relatively small
limit to the number Of chairmanships
to be dealt out by the speaker

The Irritating Mississippi.

The Mississippi is the greatest irri-
tant In the United States. It's tickle
ness, conscious power and haunting
eddies bring oaths to the lips Of the
most respectable and law abiding resi-
dents along It's lower course. The
greatest admirers Of the river, the peo-
pie who sing Its praises with the most
emphasis, are the ones who go off on
tangent Of temper quickest when
they find a new caving Of river bank
headed toward the newest and most
expensive levee, built to protect great
plantations, while just across the
stream rise worthless bluffs and useless
sand bars. Talk to Mississippi river
man--shanty boater, pilot, raftsman,
plantation owner or city merchant and
he will brag about the river wonders.
It's bigness charms him and makes him
feel large and elated. Bring him
around to his own experiences with
it, and suddenly shade Of resentment
crosses his face as he recalls q shanty
boat wrecked by a cyclone, steam
boat snagged, a raft torn up In some
bend, a plantation undercut and wash
ed away or seasons trade spoiled by
an overflow and crevasse.
eve love the river, damn itw is q

THE CIGARETTE SMOKER.

Vale the cigarette-and none
should mourn thereat.
Ebert Hubbard wasn't the best
authority in the world in all subjects,
but he was unquestionably right in
pronouncing against the use of
cigarettes, especially by the young.
In a late number of the Phillistine,
he said:
"As a close observer and employer
of labor for more than twenty-five
years, I give you this:
Never advance the pay of a
cigarette smoker; never promote
him; never absolutely trust him to
carry a roll to Garcia unless you do
not care for Garcia and are willing
to lose the roll. Cigarette smoking
begins with an effort to be smart.
1t soon becomes a pleasure, a salts
faction, and serves to bridge over
a moment of nervousness or en-
barrasment. Next it becomes a
necessity of life, fixed habit. This
last stage soon evolves into third
condition, stage of fever and un-
restful, wandering mind, accom-
panied by loss of moral and mental
CONTROL"
Inevitably cigarette smoking i'm
pairs health, lessons usefulness and
jeopardizes happiness, and all with
out compensation worthy of the
name. All smokers are not affected
to the same degree, but there is
none who would not be better off
without the habit.

but in France, owing to it's tedious ma.

STRIKE SEEMS PROBABLE
Chicago Surface Lines Likely to Be
Tied Up.


Chicago, Aug. "a street car strike
which threatens to tie up all of tho
surface lines of Chicago now seems
inevitable.
The refusal of the Chicago City
Railway company, which operates the
lines on the South Side, to grant the
mems demands for higher wages and
a "closed shop" and the, continued re-
fusal of the employees to accept any
thing else has increased the gravity
of the situation.
Mass meetings of the South Side
employees are to be held at which the
situation will be canvassed and the
question of taking a referendum vote
on a strike proposition will be de-
cided.
