SPECIAL SESSION
COST HALF MILLION
THAT GOODLY SUM USED IN
GETTING NEW TARIFF LAW
LoR COUNTRY.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The ex
traordinary session of Congress which
completed one week ago it's revision
of the tariff law, cost the American
people, it has been estimated by some
of the statisticians around the Capt.
toll, about 100000.
Many different items enter into this
grand total, the chief of which is
mileage. The Houses expense on
this account aggregates $154,000 and
that of the Senate $4,000. Extra pay
allowed to employees on both sides of
the Capitol amounted, it is estimated,
to about $150,000. Special employees
engaged in compiling information for
Congress and the committee, relative
to the tariff, were paid good salaries.
The Government Printing Office has
not yet supplied statement concern
ing the cost OF printing the tariff bill,
reports and hearings, but it is known
that this will be large.

THE PLACES
RUMoRED THAT JOB GARNER AND
JUDGE HOLDING WILL HAVE
OPPOSITION.

CENTREVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 13.-
There is prospect of an unusually In
teresting contest for Acknowledgement
in this judicial circuit. Attorney
Douglas T. Bates of Centreyille has
been urged by infiutntial Democrats
in various counties of the circuit to
make the race against Attorney-Gen-
eral Job Garner He will probably
yield to these solicitations. He is a
brilliant and energetic young attor-
ney. He led the Carmack supporters
in the memorable primary for Gov
ernor, and when the statewide prohi-
bitien champion went down in defeat,
Attorney Bates offered his services to
the victor and Loyalty supported the
Democratic ticket.
Thert is also strong indication that
Judge Holding will be opposed for cir
cult judge should he again make the
race. A Lawrence county man and
Giles county man are spoken of as
probable candidates and tangible de.
velopments are expected in the course
OF few days.

FAIR OPENS AT
WINCHESTER
BIG STRING OF RACERS ARE ON
HAND, INCLUDING AN
OSTRICH.

WINCHESTER, Tenn, Aug. H.
Franklin County Fair opened today
the town is already full of strangers
The shows, flying jennies, concessions,
hambergers, ETC., are running full
blast.
There will be more race horses here
than ever before. Already one hun
dred and seventeen have arrived, and
several more will come in. The racing
will be the best ever seen in the
county. A number of horses are here
from the grand circuit to enter the
free-for-all races, some of them with
record as low as 2:06, and this be-
ing the fastest track in this circuit, it
is cinch that there will be some real
going.
One feature of the fair is pen OF
race ostrich, which heretofore has not
appeared in this section. They are
said to be very fast, and race be-
tween an ostrich in harness and a
horse will be pulled off every day dur
ing the FAIR. The horses to be match
ed against the various ostrich will be
the fastest PAGERS in the 2;20 class.
The agricultural exhibits will be bet
ter than has yet appeared. The same
parties who took the grand prize for
Franklin county last year at Nash
vile, and also the grand prize the
same year at the Tri-State fair at
Memphis, will have exhibits, and other
parties of the county will be In sharp
competition with them. The party
that wins here expects to again take
the prize at Nashville this year for
Franklin county.
Wednesday is Nashville day, and a
special will leave that city early on
that morning for Winchester, and will
return late in the afternoon, so that
the people from Nashville and along
the line can be here nearly the entire
day.

ROBBED PAIR;
FIRED HOUSE
BURGLARS BIND MAN AND WIFE
AND THEN SET FIRE TO
BUILDING.

WILKESBARRE, Pa. Aug. IL
Clarence Berlew, at West Pittston
Monday morning heard burglars in his
bedroom, and as he jumped up he was
felled with a blackjack. Then the
burglars bound and gagged Mrs. Ber-
lew. and when Berlew recovered his
senses he, too, was bound and gagged.
They were thrown on the bed to-
gether, and their little child was
pitched beside them. The burglars
then searched the house and the
store, and finding nothing they de-
sired, returned to Berlew and threat
ened to torture him unless he told
them where his money was hidden.
AS evidence of what they would do,
they picked him up and let him drop
on the floor, twisted his arms and
wrists, and finally induced him to tell
that his wallet was underneath the
mattress. They got $685. and depart
cd.
Before they left, however, they
poured kerosene about the floor and
set fire to It, Not until the smoke
reached their. room did Berlew realize
this. They he renewed his struggle to
get free, and finally succeeded. Then
he tried to carry his wife and child
out, but as he got downstairs the
flames broke through the door upon
them, and he had to retreat, almost
overcome, to the bedroom. There he
Just had strength to drag them to the
window and hold their heads in the
air until the firemen arrived.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
OFFERS BIG REWARD
JEFF M'CARN TO GIVE FIFTY DOL.
LARS FOR PROOF OF BOOT
Logging.
Applies Only to Conviction of White
Men-WiII Pay it From His
Own Pocket.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Aug. 16.-Jef
McCarn, attorney-general, offers tc
pay $50 reward for the first proof
brought to him of a violation of the
prohibition law by a white man on or
after August a. and before the open
| ing of the criminal court on the first
Monday in September. This money is
to be paid upon the final conviction of
the violator, and the offer applies only
to sales made between the dates men
toned. The money is to be paid by
Mr. McCarn personally, and not by the
state or county.
This announcement by the attorney
general will drop into the camp OF the
liquorites like a bolt from the blue.
Since the adjournment of the grand
jury some of the saloon men have be-
come somewhat emboldened, but this
offer will make the matter difficult
for them. 1t will make it a rather
hazardous matter to sell liquor to any
extent when the buyer is liable to
give testimony against the seller at
any time.
Before the adjournment of the grand
jury number of cases were investi.
gated and a batch of indictments were
returned. These cases will be prose
cuted at the September term OF the
court, and at the same term number
of other cases which have been work
ed up in vacation time will be present
ed to the grand jury. However, Mr..
McCarns announcement means
that there will probably be still
more, and that it will become a matter
of even greater danger to sell liquor
in Nashville.
In speaking of the enforcement of
the prohibition law, Mr.. McCarn !
said:
since the adjournment OF the |
grand jury the law seems to have
been violated rather recklessly by a
few of the former saloon men. Indi-
cations OF that were rather strong on
last Saturday night.
Il have some interesting surprises
for some of the boys when the grand
Jury meets again. I
81 will pay $50 to the first person

BID
IS DECLINED
PRESIDENT TAFT WILL NOT GO
TO FAIR AT FINANCIER'S
SOLICITATION.

BEVERLY, Mass, Aug. 17-The
President thought that his clubs were
hard enough Monday to brave scotch
mist, and he and Mr. Hammond played
their fourth match against w. j.
Boardman and Gen. Adelbert Ames.
Mr.. Taft and his palmer were one to
the good over the course at Essex and
that means that there will have to be
a rubber as the matches stand two
apiece now. 1t may be that they will
decide to make it four out of seven,
that is if the President loses the next
time.
He took lunch at Mr.. Hammond's
place in Gloucester with Prof. Lewis
More and Mrs. More, Mrs. Taft's sis
ter. Afterwards he took an automo-
bile drive to Topsfield and had dinner
with his brother at Manchester.
Thomas w. Lawson's invitation to
attend the Marshfield fair on Aug. &c
was not attractive enough to make
the President brak his rule of staying
around Beverly even though it offered
a chance to take peep at the pota-
toes, pumpkins and cabbages which
have never missed causing the mouth
of red blooded Americans to water"

Many papers published west of
the river circulated special Christ
mas editions, with colored covers
and lots of advertising. The Presho
Settler carried SO 1-2 columns of
advertising for the week, the larg-
est of any paper that we have not
ed. The Review made no pretence
at getting out a special number;
our regular work taxed the capaci-
ty of the Office. Still we were but
two columns behind the Settler in
the amount of adv ertising carried.
This paper carries larger amount
of advertising week after week
than any other paper published
west of the river, with the possible
exception of one or two papers
printed in towns in the Hills. The
business men of Philipiare persist
ent advertisers as q whole, and the
Review is the recognized medium.

Man Frozen to Death

Coroner o. e. Murray was call
ed to Kennebec Wednesday by
word announcing that the frozen
body of Ed Fessenden, who had
been missing for more than two
weeks, had been found near n hay
stack about four miles from that
town. An inquest was held that
day and the jury, composed of ID.
NJ. Ray, Herbert K. Pease and j.
M. Devers brought in verdict
finding that this man came to his
death by being lost and exposed to
the cold while in a state of intox-
ication."
On Sunday, Dec. 5, Mr.. Fessen-
den started from kennebec with
Otto Brigel, with whom he expect
ed to stay few days. When they
had gone but a short distance Fes-
senden left the rig and started
across the country on foot telling
Brigel that he would never get
anywhere the way they were 60
ing. Brigel called to him several
times and told him to get in, but
he refused to do so. This was the
last seen of him until his body was
found the first of this week.
1t was exceedingly cold on that
day and both of the men were in
toxicated before they left Kenne-
bee. 1t is thought that Fessenden
became bewildered and was soon
exhausted from his wanderings.
Brigel thought that he had probA-
bly returned to town and did not
report his disappearance until the
following Saturday. In the mean
time it had showed so much that II
was rather difficult to hunt for the
body and Brigel had been SO drunk
at the time that he could not give
much infor nation as to where to
hunt, so it was several days before
the body was found. -Murdo Coy

"All that is needed to turn an
impending national gold deficit in
to surplus, to support in plenty
$50 or more persons to the square

use instead of the abuse of the

which agricultural schools and ex-
pertinent stations have already for
mulated and are daily putting
before the people. The future of
this nation, political and moral as
we'll as financial, is bound up with
the future of the farm. BY that will
our character and our institutions
be tried. BY it, in the long run, all
wealth is measured, conditioned
and supported. The work of edu-
cation has been begun but it must
be enlarged supplemented and advo-
Gated all the time, The institutions
that are doing most for the coun-

Commandant In Bad

In an open letter addressed to the
Governor Oh Oct. 10, Granville
Jones editor of the Dakota Demo-
crat, publishes a statement to the
effect that the four old soldiers
who were discharged from the Old
Soldiers Home at Hot Springs,
have been deeply wronged, and
asks restitution at the hands of the
governor, whom Jones asserts, has
had cognizance of the conditions at
the home for months, and now de-
mands that Geddes, the commander,
be forced to resign his Office. In
commenting on the fact that no
action has been taken by the gov
ernor to right the wrong, Editor
Jones says:
I'VE accept their challenge and
put it up to the people of the state.
We shall see if this is a Home for
INDECENT Soldiers and Sailors OF
the Civil War;" or whether it shall
be a home for broken down politi
clans where they can play the part
of petty tyrants over those whose
past services and present character
entitle them to the gratitude and
care of the people of the state.''

Towns After New Land Office

LeBeau is making a strong pull
for the location of the government
land Office for handling the new
lands on the Cheyenne River and
Standing Rock reservations. While
the residents want it east of the
Missouri, there is an evident feel
ing for the location of the office
west of the river. In case such a
move is made, the stronger proba-
bilities are that the location will be
at Dupree or Timber Lake.
Dupree is on the Fox Ridge line
of the Milwaukee road, not far
from the junction of the counties
of Dewey, ,Schnasse and Armstrong,
while Timber Lake in on the
Thunder Butte line of that system,
at a point about 40 miles slightly
northwest of LeBeau.
