NJ 'CUMBER'S LAST
Fight WAS in Vain
DRAWBACK AND WAREHOUSE
AMENDMENTS TO THE TAR
IFF BILL GO TO CON-
MITTEE.

Washington, Aug. 7.--Mr McCumber
in the senate and Mr. Hanna in the
house just before adjournment Thurs
day, made last effort to have the
drawback and bonded warehouse pro-
visions of the Payne tariff bill amend
ed to suit the vitws of their North Da-
kota constituents.
Mr.. McCumber got his resolution
through the senate, but only after
having tackled on to it the cotton bag
ging free trade provision advocated
by southern senator's.
In the house it wasn't necessary to
invoke the constitutional authority
that that body should originate reve-
nue. legislation. When the McCumber
resolution was brought over from the
senate, Chairman Payne moved that it
be referred to the committee on ways
and means, after he had objected to
Mr.. Hanna's request that it should be
considered by unanimous consent.
1t is probable that the McCumber
resolution will die in that committee.
Those who are interested In the flax
seed industry, however, believe that
something will be done in the line of a
drawback on oil cake made from inn
port seed at the next session. Mr..
Stevens of Minnesota and Mr.. Hanna
are among those who will make an eff
fort to have this amendaGory legisla-
ton enacted then.
During the debate on the McCumber
resolution in the senate, Chairman
Aldrich OF the finance committee,
made confession on the part of him
self and the other senate conferees as
to what had been done with the bond
| ing provision of the Payne bill He
said that he was in ignorance of the
fact that the bonding provision per-
mitted the withdrawal for domestic
consumption Of the by-products OF
wheat, and also that rhe prohibition
on the payment of drawbacks on oil
cake had escaped his attention. In the
Dingley law, this prohibition is widely
separated from the other drawbacks
provisions, and because of this. Mr.
Aldrich said, he had overlooked the
fact that this provision had been re-
pealed.
Mr.. Aldrichs' statement was made
after Mr.. McCumber had submitted
some remarks on the wheat production
and flour milling industry. which were
largely a repetition OF what he has
said before on these subjects.
4 Before Mr.. McCumber could get his
resolution through the senate. he was
obliged to accept the democratic
amendment placing cotton bagging or
the free list
Senator Clapp offered his amend
ment TO include holding companies II
the corporation tax provision. bu
| withdrew It when McCumber told hin
that he hoped to have his resolution
accepted by the house. Senator ClapE

GREAT NORTHERN DAMAGED.
Rain Washes Roadbed and Lightning
CrippIes Wires at Devils Lake.

Devils Lake, N. D., lug. Last
nights and this mornings rain did
considerable damage to the roadbed
at different places along the line of
the Great Northern. At track No. 3,
near the Minnewaukan avenue cross

were washed away, leaving the tracks
bare. and weakening the crossing sup
ports. A gang of men was put at
work repairing the damage this morn

port similar damage. The entire tele-

Sorrow In the Camp of the Minot
Bachelors Today.

Minot N. D., Aug. Thirteen to
four tells the tale of the contest last
evening between the married and sin
gle men. Too much confidence in their
ability to make a hit and the fear of
soiling their borrowed suits are at
tributed as the main reason for the
fall down for the singles, but as John
Ehr, who was chief rooter for the
Benedicts said: Dem young fellows

disastrous hailstorm struck about ave
miles north and west OF Fessenden
yesterday. Heavy wind and torrents

announced that he wouldn't press it

Buffalo Express: The people fail to
see the point gained by the legisla-
ture by cutting out the liquor adver-
tising in North Dakota newspapers
and still allow the goods to be ship
ped all over the state. No argument
so far has produced any sensible rea-
son for this unjust action against the
newspapers-the boocters of North

IS NOT PROTECTED.
No Law in This State Covering Elks--
Hart May Keep Hide.

Minot N. D., Aug. Word was re-
ceived yesterday from Game Warden
Smith, stating that so far as he could
find there was no law in this state pro-
tecting elk, so that the one captured
by George F. Hart of Ryder last Sat-
urday was his property so far as the
state was concerned. There has been
considerable speculation as where the
animal came from and it is gener-
ally conceded that II must have made
the trip from the Yellowstone park
or from Canada. Mr.. Hart intends
to have the animal mounted, as 1t is
a handsome specimen.

this morning and burned 1t to the

The building was owned by Valentine
Gerhart, and is a total loss. The storm
at the time the building was hit pre-
vented the fire company from getting
out to stop the fire, and the heavy rain
seemed to help rather than hinder the
flames. The house on the property
which was occupied by the family OF

my only food; it tasted so delicious
that l enjoyed it immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the

Cleanliness.

This church, like many another one,
had had trouble about pumping the or
gan. and the plan of using water
power was gladly adopted. Connec-
ton was made with the pipes OF the
rectory, which stood on the adjoining
lot. All the preliminary tests were
satisfactory. On the Sunday morn
ing when the apparatus was to be
used for the first time at regular
service the organist arrived early for
final trial. There was not hitch.
The congregation generally knew of
the innovation, and awaited the open
ing strains of the professional with
uncommon interest. Not sound came
from the organ. however, and the
choir had to march in singing the
hymn as best it could, unaccompanied.
OF course the disappointment was
keen.
