A Large Attendance of Representatir,
Patrons at Little Falls, N. Y.

The state,master's representatives in
the various counties are an important
body of men, and on them rests very
largely the upbuilding of the Order
The New York county deputies held
their annual meeting in connection
with the state grange meeting j. j.
Barden of Ontario county being presi-
dent of the organization
Several papers were read on mat
ters of special interest TO the deputies
Deputy Barden discussed 1.-The Depu-
ty's Duty to the State Master" in
which he remarked that the deputy
should be in harmony with the state
master in all his work and stand ready
to relieve him from any unnecessary
burdens in his county. He should be
qualified to eXemplify the unwritten
work perfectly and insist that the sub
ordinate oranges in his jurisdiction
conform rigidly to the required forms
and usages. He should also see that
reports Of the work in the county are
promptly reported to the state master
Deputy Fred Shepard read paper
on "How to Organize Grange" CIV
ing largely his personal methods and
experiences. No one can advise all on
this subject. as conditions vary. He
said that all the information necessary
should be given those who cortem-
plate becoming members of the Order
and emphasized the necessity of pre-
senting those features Of the work that
most appeal to those seeking member
ship. Better not organize than to do so
by any misstatements or exaggerations.
Other papers were read on Grange
Inspection and on reports to the
State Master"

HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT.
Master of New York Grange on the
Subject Of Better Roads.

Master of New York Grange on the
Subject Of Better Roads.
In his annual address to the New
York state grange Master F. N. Cod
frey had this to say: Concerning
highway Improvement, much Of the
work already done on the highways
seems to have been done without due
consideration to permanency. With
the supervision Of this work now
placed in the hands OF a commission,
future Improvement Of the highways
should be attempted on the basis Of
permanency and economy. The most
important roads in the state are the
market roads, and these should re-
ceive sufficient consideration, while
the trunk lines may be generally ex-
tended for the pleasure seeker"
Mr.. Godfrey believes that there is
too much expense in the preliminary
work and that per cent of the total
cost should cover this part Of the
work. He remarked that the grange
expected much of the highway com
mission and could assure its members
that the organization would stand by
them in the honest discharge Of their
duties.

fIeifer Lives Two Weeks Without Food

A two year old heifer was found
missing on the +. b. JeWett farm
operated by Earnest Wescott Brook
lyn township, about three weeks
ago, but search did not prove sue
cessful, and it was supposed that It
had been stolen.
A few days ago, one of Mr. Wes-
colts daughters while playing near
the barn heard peculiar noise, and
telling her parents, search was
made under the barn, and the lost
animal was found under the floor,
on her side, wedged in so tight that
she could not move.
She had been here in this position
two weeks, without food or water,
but was still alive; and it is thought
she will recover. The back was
raw where she had struggled to rise.
The animal had fallen through
the floor from above, and as the
barn was very large and the animal
black, previous search under the
barn had failed to reveal her, and
she was spposed to have been stolen.

On Tuesday of last week the
Register and recorder of Lycom-
ing county issued marriage Ii
cense to Minard Peters of Nord-

Unityville.
On Wednesday night of last
week Laporte experienced a genu-
inc winter snow storm which with
a strong wind continued until noon
Thursday when it changed to hail
and rain accompanied by thunder
and lightning. The atm osphere,
however. continued so cold that by
nightfall fences, trees, shrubs etc.
were encased in ice. All thoughts
of spring vanished and the town
presented a typical mid-winter
scene.
While in conversation few
days ago with Mr., Martin Mullen,
we were informed that the abomi-
nable weather of the latter part of
last week was not the worst ever
experienced at that season of the
year by our older people. Mr..
Mullen stated that forty years ago
on the night of May 9th there was
a two-foot fall of snow. The wealth
er had been quite warm before and
farmers, thinking that spring had
come, had turned their sheep and
lambs into the pasture fields. On
the morning after the big snow it
was with much difficulty that the
sheep were found, and nearly all
the lambs had been frozen to death.
Howard Little, a fourteen year
old boy of Forksville, will, here

for fish in Elk Creek, near the
+. G. Rogers farm, and it was not
long until Howard began to think
that sea monster must have gotten
into the creek, as there was ter
rifle jerk on his line, but he too
then gave a terrific jerk and sue

out of the water when it proved
to be California trout that meas

and one-half pounds.

When Wu-Ting Fang declared
that under proper conditions all men
might live to be one-hundred years
of age he was scof1ed at. OF course
many men have rounded out the
century of their existence, but ac-
cording to this noted Chinaman all
men could reach that advanced age
if they were to comply with certain
rules and regulations. Now comes
another philosopher who states that
man might live to be one-thousand
years old if he would follow his in
structions which in his opinion are
simple and easily complied with.
The trouble is that there are so many
men who subscribe to the old hymn,
81 would not live always" that this
scientists advice VIII not be gener-
ally followed.
All that is necessary to reach an
age IN advance OF that MetnuSelan Vi
old is for men to wear nothing but
white clothing; to eat little except
vegetables and nuts, and avoid meat
milk oil, and flesh of all kinds. The
recipe seems simple enough, in fact,
too simple. How many men are
willing to give up the luXurieS of
this life even when promised long
er existence in this world? What
man is going to deprive himself of
of the pleasure of partaking of the
best things in life merely that he
may be enabled to cucumber this
earth thousand years: Unfortu-
nately for this philosopher he has
no sample of the effort of his theory
to show us.

VOTE LONG DELAYED
Nobody Will Risk Prediction When
It Will Be Taken.
DUTY ON HIDES COMES NEXT
Then Comes Wood Pulp, After which
senate Will Probably Take Up
President Tnft's Proposed Cor
pOration Earnings Tax.

WASHINGTON. June @-Although con.
siderable progress was made during the
last week by the senate in the considera-
ton Of the tariff bill, the date at which a
final vote on the measure can be looked
for Is as indefinite today as It was a week
ago. A large number Of paragraphs cover
ing duties on important articles remain to
be disposed Of, in addition to the $. eclal
revenue features and the administrative
sections Of the bill.
However, as there Is less disposition to
discuss the theoretical problems OF the
tariff, II may be expected that the various
matters will be dispatched with greater
Iapidity and fewer speeches. While few
MEMBERS will venture a prediction as to the
date Of the vote on the bill by the senate.
the possibility OF sending the bill back
to the house by the first OF July is now
generally considered as extremely remote.
Duty on Hides Comes Next.
The discussion of the question OF a duty
on hides will occupy the attention OF the
senate for possibly a day or two before a
vote is reached. The wood pulp amend
ment offered by the finance committee,
| phich practically doubles the duty on wood
pulp coming from countries which prohibit
the expectation OF wood pulp, will be the
next matter taken up for consideration
After these two schedules shall have been
disposed OF, It Is understood that the tax
on corporations. proposed by President
Taft will occupy the attention Of the SEN
ate for several days. 1t will provoke much
debate.
The disposition of the lumber schedule
and the determination OF a proper duty on
pig and scrap iron, as we'll as wire nails,
must be made by the senate. The ques-
lions Of free cotton bagging, ties and
binding Irvine are certain to result in an
interesting discussion between the western
and southern senator's. The house bills
provision for the free entry of petroleum
and it's products will occupy considerable
time, as will the discussion of the duties
on wrapper and filler tobacco. ~pineapples,
shoes and leather, and bituminous coal.
The senate will continue to meet from 10
o'clock in the morning until 7 In tire even
ing.
House VIII DO
While no serious effort will be made to
insure the presence of a quorum at the
sessions of the house on Monday and Tues
day, If possible, Representative Crum-
packer Undiana), chairman of the census
committee, will endeavor to have the house
consider the conference report on the CEN
sus bill. AS senate leaders have indicated
to the members of the house that they
would prefer to have no legislation sent to
the senate while the tariff bill is being
considered there, the house will not take up
any measures which might conflict with
this request.

Hall County Board of Review.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., June 20.-(Spe-
cial)-The county board has adjourned as
q board Of equalization until the state
board shall have certified to the valua-
ton of the railroad and other corporation
properties. Few complaints were made
against the assessments by farmers, and
there was little equalizing to be done, most
Of the complaints being from corporations
and other large taxpayers, The Standard
OF Company requested a reduction of
about 50, 600 and received q reduction of
$500. The Union Pacific requested a reduc-
ton of $50, 900 on the shops property. Tes-
timony was taken and a reduction of $4,000
was made. based upon the estimate Of To-
cal contractors as to the cost OF the build
ings. The ]. s. Smith Hide company
wanted to be released from paying taxes
on $500 worth of hides, which 1t claims
were "in transit at the time OF the as
sessment. This assessment was allowed to
stand. A contest also arose over the as
sessment by MI, Edward Of a dormitory
building used by the students Of the Grand
Island Business college. privately owned,
and after some contention the protest was
withdrawn, the assessment reduced $500
and permitted to stand on the dormitory
without prejudice as to future assessments

growers branch Of the American Society
OF Equity last night concluded a two
days convention after adopting resolutions
favoring the elimination OF all mlddlemen's
profit in the sale of grain.
The union covers the states Of Nebraska,
Kansas and Oklahoma. but most Of the
work Of organization has been lone in
Nebraska and all OF the representation at
the convention was from this state. There
were sixty-five delegates. each represent
ing a local branch, besides a number OF
other visitors.
Officers Of the union say that reports
have been current that grain dealers were
contracting ahead for wheat, to be dellv-
cred in September, at S117. They say this
was merely a bluff to head off action
by the union, and that thus far they have
been unable to find anybody willing to
pay that price.
In other resolutions adopted the union
declares that 90 per cent of the violent
fluctuations that occur In the price Of farm
PRODUCTS that constitute the necessities Of
life is the direct result OF market anipu
lation by spectators and amounts to '1e-
galized robbery"

Woman On Trial
for Mans Murder
Jury Impaneling In Laura Potter
Case On in District Court
Today.

After several postponements, all for good
reason, Laura Porter will go on trial for
murder in the first degree in district court
this morning.
The woman, who is colored, is charged
with killing a mar OF her own race named
Jack Chenault In South Omaha, where
the two lived, he was better known as
Dempsey.
Chenault was more or less unlamented
after his death and his character may be
something of a handicap to the state. The
defense can hardly argue that the woman
performed a social service in killing him
with a Ratchet, but the fact that he was
not a model citizen inevitably makes the
crime seem less serious, though in law 1t
is no less a crime for this reason.
