away in some remote corner Of the
big cold room, and with that irritable
and irresistible gnawing at the
vitals for a piece of that toothsome
meat, Fletch's friends made due ap-
plications for a slight portion, and
Fletch, with all the "cussed pleas
nre," as described by his friends,
brought piece after piece Of the bear
meat from the back room, until he
had all hands we'll supplied. and
then he sat back to await results
The next day Mr.. Long received The
gladsome grin and the hearty hand
shake OF appreciation from the boys,
and the expressions OF delight over
the feast Of bear meat we're ludi-
crous indeed TO the very few who
knew the joke Harry Ralph pro-
nounced the quarter steak OF that
beast something delicious, and Mr..
Ralph's two sisters who were visiting
her from the East, and who had nev-
er INDUCED in such Western feast,
highly praised the viands, and they
have returned home TO relate to
their home people how they ate bear
right from the oregon wilds.
Sam Minner was very enthusiastic
in telling about his feed, at which he
had several guests. He said that al
though II was somewhat tough, the
meat was sweet and juicy. "Bulger"
Hill ran about trying to climb a pole
and look fierce when he had sur
rounded his part OF the meat, and
with the exception OF the meat bcing
Just trifle dark colored and not
what could be called tender exactly,
II was sure elegant eating and very
filling.
No, these three gentlemen are or
with all fingers crossed. What hoy
made way with. protesting so much
relish, was the quarters OF a very old,
very well seasoned Holsetin bull,
whic was on the hook ready TO be ran
through the sausage machine, ana
Fletch could not resist the tempta-
tion TO feed the boys few delicate
cuts. The Hauser brothers gun store
received the patronage of Mr.. Ralph
and Sam Minner Immediately after
the bear" was tasted.

hundreds of people viewed the big

wife, as she was fleeing from him

daughter in her arms, and then sent
a bullet through his brain, inficting
a mortal wound.
The Manrows had been separated
two months, and the woman was liv-

Walsh, at 555 Eighth street. The
husband called last night, and beg

Mrs. Marrow was afraid 10 see

Early today he returned to .he
house and knocked at the front door.
when he found the door was locked,
he kicked It and threw his weight
against It until he broke the lock.
The terrified women within had
fed to the dining room, and locked
the door behind them. Marrow
rushed against that door also. and
beat upon It until II gave way before
his blows.
The women fed through the kitch-

climbing over n fence into the prem

hoped TO get aid from the men at
work.
Mrs. Marrow had picked up the
small son OF Mrs. Walsh and fed also

side. and started through a narrow
passageway leading TO the street,
when her husband came up behind
her.
with the child in her arms, Mrs.
Marrow was attempting to open the
gate. when her husband fired at close
range.
The bullet entered the woman's
right ear and passed upward through
the brain. She fel backward, and
the screaming baby rolled Sprawllng

sent a bullet into his right temple
and fell beside his wife.
When the men from the black
smith shop arrived, the little boy
had struggled TO his feet, his hands
and face covered with blood For a
time II was thought that he had been
injured also, but examination showed
that he was not hurt.

PUSHING THE COMMISSION PLAN

The citizens of keokuk are becom-
ing much interested in the commission
plan of city government. The Gate
City of Monday republished from the
Hawk-Eye the az dress of Hon. Chas
d. Huston in this city and is earnest
~ advocating the system. keokuk may
yet outdistance Burlington in this pro-
gressive movement. The campaign hav-
ing now been opened, it needs effective
follow up work The Presbyterian
brotherhood with commendable en-
terprise took the initiative; the Com
mercial Exchange may very properly
take the mex. step by calling mass
meeting of citizens to hear from other
opponents of the commission system
and to perfect an organized movement
to carry on the campaign until the de-
sired result is attained"
The program outlined above might
well be followed in Keokuk. Let us
have first at a mass meeting of citi-
zens an exposition of the commission
plan by some one qualified to speak of
lit from the standpoint of personal
knowledge of its practical workings,
and then an organized movement to
carry it forward to success. Mayor

secured would be a good man to EN-
Tighten the people of this city on the
merits and advantages of this new and
approved form of city government.

Mrs. Taft has decided to keep COW"
She has already installed a neat Jer-
sey. famous as mixer, and will have
cream and to spare for her own table
and possibly might sell little milk to
the neighbors as IN accommodation.
1t is not likely that she will make her
own butter, for making butter from
one COW is not exactly a success. It
takes so long to get enough cream for
churning and anyway William is
likely to be pretty busy this simmer
just getting settled and will not have
time to do the churniag. Why
shouldn't she? There is plenty of grass
going to waste about the grounds to

that one of that fawn like breed is
easy to keep and care for.

MAKING a Tariff Law.

Creston Advertiser: Undoubtedly
there are Objectionable features to
the Payne tariff bill, but those who did
not know that this would be the case,
both with the measure as originally
introduced and as amended and final
~ passed, know very little about tariff
legislation. So many people seem to
forget or never to have known that a
tariff law is the result of compromise
and concession; they seem to forget
or to never to have known that it is
a practical impossibility for several
hundred men, entertaining widely diff
ferent views and representing con-
stituencies widely divided in interest,
to frame law to which serious OBJ
lection cannot be made. The best
congress can do is to pass law that
in its entirety is wise, although nu-
merous objections can be made to 1t.
The Mckinley tariff law was finally
indicated, but when it was being
framed and when If was enacted 1t

Kennedy Wants Results.

Burlington HaWK-Eye. Congress
man Kennedy is to be strongly COM
for standing by the President
and the house organization in the adop-
ton of the special rule to vote on the
tariff bill and amendments next FRI
day. The last national convention OF
the party pledged itself to to revise
the tariff. Revision is necessarily par
tisan or 1t does not occur, no matter
which party is in power. That may
not be an ideal method of government
but it is practical. and it is inevitable.
The Mckinley bill was put through
by the Republicans under party press
ure as was the Wilson bill by the
Democrats. There was no other feas-
ible way to accomplish anything. Had
either the Democrats or the Repubii-
cans on those occasions broken away
from party organization into independ-
ent groups, insurgents" and individ-
ual initiative there would have been
no Wilson tariff, nor a Mckinley or
Dinglev tariff.
Those Iowa congressman who are
playing to the galleries of alleged re
formers are simply aiding the Demo
Gratis in their efforts to make the Re-
publicans violate the pledge of their
national platform to revise the tariff.
The political history OF this country
makes it very plain that tariffs are OF
party origin and party achievement. If
4 in this instance the Democrats con
trolled the house, the senate remaining
Republican, there would be no tariff
LEGISLATION. The Morrison tariff bill
and otaer measures of that character
when neither party had control OF both
4 houses. fully corroborate the conten
ton of the Hawk-Eye that the only
way to obtain tariff legislation by the
present congress is through party
unity. This does not initiate against
the individuality of the Republican
members. but they were elected as tie
publicans, pledged to certain princi
pies and policies, including revision
of the tariff at this extra session, anc
lit Is their duty to their constituents
the party and the country, W win u
and with the party organization, be
cause in no other way can their pledge
be fulfilled and their duty as Republi
cans performed. To scatter theil
forces in guerilla bands is futile
fatal to the party and unfaithful t.
the country. watch demands promp
and effective action This is possible
only through Republican organization
Mr. Kennedy whatever his person
al views concerning some of the item'
in the Payne bill, evidently is maj
who seeks practical results and, a
such, he wisely looks for them through
party organization.
Stand by the President and the he
publican majority in congress.

THE COMMERCE COUNCIL BILL.

f7E COMMERCE COONCtL BILL.
The Iowa City Republican agrees
that the state senate did a wise
thing when it killed the bill which pro-
posed to have an assistant attorney
general with salary of $4,000 year
whose duty it would be to look after
freight rates for shippers. IF the
shippers want 3 special counsel" says
the Republican, "let them hire it Just
as other people do when they go into
court" Furthermore:
"The salary proposed is but a small
part of the cost of the office. The bill
provided for additional counsel, paying
for investigations, expenses, ETC..
which would make the office cost not
less than $4,000 year. The princi-
pal object of the bill seems to be to
provide an official irritant to NEEDLE
with the railways outside of what is
generally conceded to be legitimate
regulation What the people here
want is better facilities. The Rock
Island should double track to Omaha,
but it is not likely to do so while such
legislation is threatened. The capital
lists find it safer to keep away from
states that adopt such drastic meas
ures. 1t is not additional litigation
wanted, or facilities for additional
litigation and turmoil. but a little
peace which would give the roads an
invitation to make improvements"
The Republican adds that Iowa City
wants other interurbans but will never
get them SO long as we have the
class of legislators who push such
legislation as is involved in the Allen
LII
