peat that his expression Is an I'M.
perfinence,, u gross fmperttnence.
Proceeding, he said he had fully ex-
planned the facts regarding his knowi-
edge Of the German document and he
declared that In view of this explain
alton, there had been absolutely no
concerning himself. 81 do not call on
him to retract," he continued, but ]
do say that no Senator should max .
such an utterance of affront to a
great and friendly power as was orig
inaiiy made In this matter"
Mr.. Stone concluded his presentation
OF the question by saying that while
there had not been direct retraction,
the dose had been 30 sugar-coated by
eulogies upon Germany as TO remove
the bitter taste. Mr.. LaFoiIette in
troduced a resolution calling for all
the correspondence relating to the
subject but It's consideration was post
poned.
Quoting a statement by Mr.. Aldrich
today, Mr.. LaFollette denied his state
ment that the German report had
reached the committee on finance af-
ter the tariff bill had been reported.
IT say IL did not" declared the Wis
consin Senator vehementiy rapping his
mahogany desk with his knuckies.
II say II came to the COMMITTEES on
finance before the report of the bill.
He had his attention specifically call
ed to these German statements and
was asked by the Department of
Commerce ana Labor whether he want
ed them put In such condition that
they could be examined by his COM
mittee."
When at one point OF the proceed
ing, Mr.. Gallinger sought to Interrupt
Mr.. LaFollette, the latter declined to
be interrupted.

"A system has grown up here" said
Mr.. La Toilette, "by which legislation
is In the hands of two or three men
whose authority seems to have been
recognized here for many years with
out question. 1t seems hazardous on
the part OF any one who wants to
know and who fails to come along when
he 10 told. I want to announce to the
autocracy Of the Senate that the clock
will strike presently and there will
be new hour in the legislative BUSH
ness of the Senate"
Tart reJoinders between the Senators
from Rhode Island and Wisconsin were
frequent. An explanation by Mr., AL
drich that the comparisons OF Mr.. La
Toilette were incorrect because. of the
changed appiicationso f the law through
court or other decisions. brought forth
a denial by Mr.. LaFollette.
II say to the Senator from Rhode
Island" he said. as you have said to
many Senators here. you are mis-
taken"
Later Mr.. LaFollette refused to yield
for an Interruption, adding, You are
going to be accorded the same treat
ment that I have received from you -
Senator Depew, reciting various
stages OF the German incident. express
ed surprise as to the source of the
information of Senator Stone concern

from Missouri replied that he had sew

RAIN HURTS CROPS
THE DOwNPOUR KEEPS UP IN MIS-
SIssIPPI.
The Damage Extends To All Growing
Crops and Farmers Say Cotton
IN Dead--OutIOOk Ia
Gloomy.

Columbus. Miss. June 3.-(Special)
The incessant rains which have re-
Gently prevailed in this section have
seriously damaged the crops and as
the downpour keeps up deterioration
continues from day to day. There
have been showers every day for near
ly two weeks past. and they have come
with such great frequency that the
farmers have had no opportunity to
work In the fields.
The damage extends to all growing
crops. The cotton fields are all graS>
sy. the plants in some instance being
SO completely surrounded by grass and
weeds as to practically hide them
from view. The damage to corn Is no
less serious. The high winds which
frequently accompanied the rain
storms have blown down the stalks.
and corn fields, as well as those where
in cotton Is planted. are overrun with
grass.
Experienced farmers estimate the
damage already sustained at from
thirty Ave to ffty per cent ana as Ions
as the Indictment weather keeps up
deterioration will continue.

Cotton Crop Ruined.


Mayhem, Miss, June 3.-(Special)-
Rain has been falling incessantly for
the past seven days. doing great dam
age to the growing crops.
The creeks are all out of their banks,
and still rising. and it is believed by
many old citizens that II the rain con-
tnues, 1t will reach the 1900 high wa
ter mark. Farmers say their cotton
Is dead, and 1t is too late to replant.
and the corn is ruined to q great ex-
tent.
Much gloominess prevails among the
farming classes. especially those that
have to purchase supplies on the credit
plan. They depend solely on what to
land Yields. such as elton and corn. and
since the continuous rains have been
flooding the fields. are fearful that
their Indebtedness will fall heavily on
them.
At this writing. the situation looks
critical. In the lowlAnds corn and
cotton is washed away. and 1t will not
pay the farmer to replant. even II the
lands get sufnciently dry, as the sea-
son will be too late.
Bridges all over the county have
been swept away fences are down. ana

Linden, June Especial. mot IN
twenty-five years before has such
weather prevailed in this section, say
the Oldest Inhabitants, as that which
has prevailed for the past two weeks
most every twenty-four hours there
have occurred several downpours Of
rain, together with considerable wind.
The creeks and rivers are destroy
ing practically all growing crops In
the lowlands and 1t seems that
throughout this part of the State not
more than half crop will be made
this year
The farmers are very much disheart-
ened and unless the rains cease with
in a few days practically all crops In
the lowlands will be abandoned.
The present condition in regard to
the heavy foods is unprecedented here
at this season of the year.

The Aurora BoreaIis.

The aurora borealis, or northern
 light, is something that we have all
 heard about. but very few, perhaps, can give any explanation of if. No one definitely knows what causes if, but the scientists are pretty we'll agreed that 1t is due to electricity. They believe. that the light is made by the recomposition of the positive and negative electricity always in the up per and lower strata of air, respec- lively. M. Lenstrom made an inter esting experiment in Finland in 1882, his object being to determine the na- ture of the aurora. He had the peak of mountain surrounded by cop per wire. pointed at intervals with tin nibs. When he had charged the wire with electricity a yellow light appeared on the tin tips, and an ex- animation of the light by. the spec troscope revealed the greenish yellow ray that is marked feature of the aurora. This evidence among sci entists is almost convincing, for it is by means of the spectroscope that we discover the constituent parts of the sun and the stars.--Exchange.

The ssnate,s Hole n the Wan.

When the nineteenth century was as yet only half grown, senators applied customarily for their toddies at the so called Hole in the Wall, small circu- lar room just of the postoffice of the upper house. The latter body then occupied what is now the chamber of the supreme court, and the postofice was across the main corridor of the building on the same floor. When a wearer of the toga found himself in need of ''snifter' he had only to cross over to the mails department and pass through it to the little cir cular room aforesaid, which was about the size of a pantry. The Hole in the Wall was the first senate restaurant, and the bill of fare for edibles was short, though to the point. There was ham, guaranteed to have been smoked for six months, verttable sublima ton of the pork product; there were corned beef and bread and cheese, but very little else. They served, however, as an accompaniment for the fluids, and when the Hole was crowded, as was often the case senators ate their sand wiches outside, in the postoff1ce.-- Washington Post.

NEVADA TO

Bat Legislature Cnts Out Attack or
 Roosevelt.

Carson, Feb. 3.-After eliminating lhe two paragraphs in the anti-Japan- ese resolution. which assailed Presi- dent Roosevelt, the Assembly of the Nevada Legislature to-day ordered the amended resolution engrossed. It will come up for third and final reading to- morrow morning. It will be passed and will go to the Senate. There IS nc doubt that the Senate will pass 1t.
 Members of both parties met this morning and agreed on the amend- mont
 Tn connection with the resolution Speaker Giffen introduced bill to- day which is now in the hands of the Jduiciary Committee, which prevents Japanese from holding land in Nevada The bill reads in part: s Any nonresident aliens, except those subject to the Chinese and Jap anexe empire, may take, hold and en- joy any real property interests or land in Nevada upon the same terms and conditions as any other persons.
 AssembIyman Dodge, the Republican leader of the Assembly who yesterday came to the defence of President Rooseyelt when the anti Japanese res Olution was offered, to-day introduced a bill asking that a fleet of warships be kept on the Pacific coast, since 'cit- izens of Asiatic countries with whom we cannot ningie on terms conducive to our interests are rapidly becoming menace to our peace and prosperity mainly from want of proper naval pro- tection." This measure will pass

Well, we'll well!

 Excuse me- said the big fellow Co his enthusiastic 'friend'' but I thir1k you have made q little mistake James replied the other banteringly, using another substantial whack on the back as emphasis to his remarsk. You can't fool me, old man. Why don't you remember when you and I used to go fishing down at Bayside, 94. IF"
 The tall one confessed that his men1- ory did not serve him thus far. Az ter some further discussion the affair appeared to be getting serious. Tke stranger insisted that he was being "snubbed" by his old time friend tke popular fighter, while the tall good looking individual from Polls was commencing to think the joke was gu- ing a bit too far Finally he drew
 
 the white pasteboards to his insistant accoster. The card read: Walter F. Lewis, with '"The Star Bout
 Well, I'll be blowed" expostulat&d the recipient of the card. Look here old man, was so strong on this game that would have bet up to the moon you were Corbett."
 MT. Lewis afterward recounting the incident to some newspaper friends laughed heartily over the episode.
 "It isn't the first time that I have been mistaken for MT. Corbett," te said. Tt was amusing at first, but 1t has gotten to that stage where it Is annoying Not that dislike looking like Jim Corbett, but it's hard to make some friends of the big fighter believe that am not kidding them.''

"Thou piest on Point of Fox.v

Fox blades were celebrated all through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries for their excellent temper, and mention of them is frequent in English drama This is their history:
 There was certain Julian del Ref, believed to be Morisco, who set up forge at Toledo in the early part of the sixteenth century and became fla nous for the excellence of his sword blades. which were regarded as the best of Toledo. That city had for many ages previous been renowned for swordmaking, it being supposed that the Moors introduced the art, as they did so many good things, from the east.
 Julian del Refs mark was a little dog, which came to be taken for fox, and so the "fox blade' or simply .'fox' for any good sword See Henry v.," act 4, scene 4, ''Thou diest on point of fox" The brand came to be initiated in other places, and there are Solingen blades of comparatively modern manu- facture which still bear the little dog Of Julian del Rei.-London Notes and Queries.

Enjoy Your Meals
By Simply Eating A Little Pleasant Tablet After
 Each of Them.
A TABLET DIGEsTs A MEAL

When digestion is perfect the fluids necessary to this process come natur- ally to the aid of the stomach. They are of right proportion and do their work speedily and we'll. When indi- gestion and dyspepsia are prevalent. these same juices come slowly if at all, are weak and insufficient or are filled with strong acids and alkalies.
 When such condition exists each meal is a hardship upon the digestive organs The meal should strengthen the juices, but on the contrary it weakens them, so that pan by the very act of eating causes conditions to arise which of themselves bring him pain and loathing for the next meal.
 By eating one of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets you mix the tablet with your saliva and it goes into your stomach a strong, vigorous fluid many times more powerful than the natural digestive juices. These tablets are made up from natural vegetable and fruit es- drastis, Golden Seal, Lactose, Nux. As cetic Pepsin, Bismuth and Jamaica Ginger. There is the formula and one grain of it will digest 5000 grains of food in any stomach. Beside di- gesting the food 1t will give the blood the power to enrich the digestive fluids so after time nature will take care of itself Though you have no stomach trouble one of these tablets after each meal is a powerful assist ance to nature and is an excellent habit to make.
 Go to any druggist and ask his opin- ion of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. We will abide his answer if he be an hon. est man. They sell for soc per pack age. Send us your name and address and we will send you a trial package by mail free. Address F. A Smart Go. 150 Stuart Bldg, Marshall. Micb

HIS FOOL FRIENDS.
Stamford Advocate ]

There is paper in Winsted called the Citizen, which we judge is a strong adnirer of Senator Rrandegee, and has it's own idea of what are that gentleman's rights and its own opinion of those whom it accuses of infring- ing upon them. "Mr. Brandegee, by his influence and money says the Citizen, elected a Connecticut State Legislature, both House and Senate. MT. Hill had no moral or political right to try to run MT Brandegee out of his seat.' There you have it flat. MT. Brandegee, having invested his influence and money to acquire for himself 9 certain advantage, mo- body had any right to come between him and the delivery of the goods Postmaster Allen of MiddIetown did it. and he is properly punished. More over, says the Citizen, the Postmaster of Winsted, who it appears was also guilty of favoring Hill may in the near future hear something drop" All of which suggests the idea that MT. Rrandegee, having for the time being been saved from his 1enemies,' stands in sore need of protection from some of his fool friends.
