ate voted to reconsider and then ad-
journed without having voted for
United States senator. ...
Senator Stephenson received 60
votes, majority, in the ballot of the

was given to Edmunds to pay to other
electors prior to the primary in sums
ranging from S. per day to $1,000 in
bulk as consideration for some act
to be done in relation to the primary
by electors for Mr.. Stephenson.
Other charges allege that money
was paid u. G. Keller of Sank county,
Ole Hambright of Racine, Roy Moore
Of Fond du Lac and divers other per-
sons In various sums as a considera-
ton for acts to be done corruptly and
Nnlawfully.

PART OF BODY PARBOlLED
Youth Stealing Ride Probably Fatally
Injured.

st. Paul, Jan. 2s.-John Schmidt of
Chicago, aged twenty, is the victim of
a peculiar accident that may cost him
his life.
The boy was on his way to Virginia,
this state, to visit his sister. He was
stealing ride and was riding the
trucks of freight car in the Union
depot yards. The car had stopped
and switch engine came past. Just
as it reached the place where Schmidt
was lying it stopped and shot out
steam.
The scalding vapor enveloped the
man, burning him terribly. His cries
attracted trainmen and he was taken
from the trucks and hurried to the
city hospital. 1t was found that the
upper part of his body was parboiled.
He is in very serious condition.

PROHIBITION FORCES WIN
North Dakota Initiative and Referen-

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 2S.-The in

lature was finally killed by the house
of representatives when the bill
known as the Iceland bill was indef-
nitely postponed by decisive major.

The action Of the house was not
unexpected, as the Prohibitionists of
the state have opposed the bill be-
cause it permitted referendum on
constitutional amendments. This
would have enabled the resubmission-
lists of the state to bring the prohibit
ton clause of the constitution up for
vote, which is something the pro.
hibitionists have been fighting ever
since statehood.

large and carried the sand and dust
in a great dark mass, it struck the
southeast part of town doing no dam
age until it reached the residence of

rooms with a poarch in front The
force of the whirlwind must have cen

bodily from the foundation in the

the ground a mass of kindlng wood.
there was not a piece of timber or
board in the building but what was
split or broken, the furniture, dishes
and everything in the house except

or damaged.
When the whirlwind struck the

how they escaped with their lives,
after leaving the Conwell place the
wind ripped off a few boards OF the

TO OUR PATRONS:
From time to time, 1t becomes nee
essary to make certain important
changes in the methods of conduct
ing the Long Distance business of
this Company. The many rapidly
developing communities. which here
tofore have been without telephone
communication with the surrounding
country, and the numerous steadily
growing villages and towns. frequent
ly require extensions to our system.
and often additional facilities on al
ready existing routes.
1t has been the comprehensive pol
icy of this company to extend its
long distance lines to all parts OF
the State where the people needed
telephone service and to add new
ines where the amount of brsi1ess
lone made such lines necessary IN
order to furnish efficient and prompt
service.
You know the wonderful and
steady advance made in our State
in agriculture, horticulture. mining
stock raising and the many other
enterprises In which our people are
engaged. We have had to meet
this growth by providing adequate
telephone facilities everywhere. Our
system has grown piece by piece fol-
lowing the settling up and develop
ment of the State of Colorado and
the Territory of New Mexico.
What we have accomplished is part
ly shown by the following data:

Sacrifices Necessary.

Editor OF The Times:
Your question in tonight's Times, Can
married couple live on an SIS a week
salary?" will no doubt arouse consider
able interest and discussion at this time
of high prices of food stuffs.
I argue that they can, but they must
be governed by three inheXihle rules:
First-They must not pay more than
one-fourth of their monthly salary for
rent.
Secoad-They must pay strictly cash
for all their purchases, Tor IN this way
only can they secure the greatest value
for their money, and az Old the purchase
Of many unnecessary articles into which
habit the charge account leads.
Third-They must have T. thorough
and well-defined understanding that of
first Importance are the necessities Of
life. and that the pleasures must al
ways be in proportion to the salary en-
VelOpe. Each one must be willing to
make sacrifices for the other. or for
their mutual benefit, for the sacrifice Of
a pleasure brings a pleasure all it's own,

PARADISE
FOR LARGE GAME
In Mountains of the Chero-
kee Nation, in Oklahoma,
Deer Are Plentiful.

MSUKOGEE, Okla, Dec. 27.-Big gene
hunters have found a paradise in the
Cherokee Nation this year. 1t is the
mountains Of the Cherokee Nation east
of the Illinois river, with headquarters
at Cookson, an inland trading point
twenty miles from a railroad From
Cookston the hunters range back into
the hills fifteen o. twenty niles.
Hunters from Muskogee. Wagner,
Fort Smith and other points who have
camped in that section and hunted for
several days at a time have had phe-
nomenaI success A party returning to
Muskogee killed five fine bucks, the
largest weighing us pounds. They also
killed all the turkey allowed under the
law. A party from Wagner had equal
success. Each member Of the party took
the limit on both deer and turkey. Small
game--qaaH. squirrel. possurn, coon and
foXes-alsO were hunted
Under the Oklahoma game law one
person is allowed to kin only one deer
and three turkeys in one season Shoot
ing does and Sawns is prohibited, as Is
chasing deer with dogs. This reduces
deer hunting to bucks and to stalking
and still hunting them
One Of the most successful methods IS
70 hunt them at night When the feed
ing grounds are found the hunter waits
until nightfali and then places a torch
in his hat band, Ike a miner. A deer
will approach this light IN fearless curl
osity, unable to see the form of the
hunter in the shadow behind the light,
and apparently being totally uncOn-
sciOus Of the man scent which carries
fear in the daytime and makes stalking
difficult The deer approaches until the
hunter sees his eyes cleaning IN the
darkness. This affords fine shot. The
great difficulty attending this Is the
hunters inability, also, to see the form
Of the der and rot infrequently a COW
Wanderirs in the woods will approach
the light and be shot down by mistake
for a deer.
