PARENTS WERE ANXIOUS.
Two Boys Didn't Get Home from Fish, ing Trip Until 10.3o Sunday Night.

Two 12 year old boys, residing re- spectivly on Mckinley av&nue and Broad street, gave their Households an afternoon and evening of anxiety on Sunday by staying away from home from the middle of the morning until after 10 o'clock at night, on a fishing trip to the neighborhood of the state hospital. Their nearly distracted par ents were down town about 10 o'clock trying to get some trace of them, when word came that the boys had got home safely.
 Earlier than that not much could be done with certainty in looking for them- The only trace that was had of the wanderers was through another boy, who said they had wanted him to go fishing down at the hospital. He did not go and did not know whether they had gone. As they were so long getting home it was thought by their parents that they might have changed their minds and started for Gardner Lake.

IDLE TO SPECULATE UPON
 ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS
Everything Now Subordinat- to Ad-
 ministration Railroad Bill Consider ation.

Washington, April 10.-Everything in congress is subordinated now to consideration of the administration railroad bill. owing to it's having been advanced to a privileged status in both branches. The difference of opinion which exists in relation to many of its most important features have brought the regular and 'insurgent" republi- cans in sharp conflict, while the dem ocrats look on, ready to grasp any political advantage that may crop up in the discussion.
 Until the railroad bill is out of the way it would be idle to speculate up- on the date of adjournment. The most optimistic of the republican leaders in the senate predict that the measure will not pass the upper house before May l. In the lower house no one has hazarded a guess. The rules com mittee. it is reported. is not inclined to bring in a rule to limit the bill.
 After the railroad bill is passed by both branches and goes to conference Whree there will be several weeks tion of the ideas of the senate and house, the other Taft policies will have to be considered. Statehood, in junction bills, postal savings and con- servation legislation. all will require time for their disposition. If congress concludes its labors by June 9. there fore. no one here will complain not withstanding the general anxiety of iHcIHDcrs to Stl hcIilc to ioph dltci th' fall campaign in their districts.
 Of the general appropriation bills, the sundry civil bill is the only one remaining to be considered by the house which will take muc htime.
