The indictment against the Press Pub
fishing Co., publishers of the New York
World, charging Joseph Pulitzer and
others with criminal libel against Theo-
dore Roosevelt, President Taft and others,
has been quashed in the United States
District Court.
This is the end of the attempt of the
Roosevelt Administration to muzzle the
press, which was showing up too plainly
how the corporate interests were taking
hand in the political campaign, the
suit, which proved TO be big bluff,
being the outgrowth Of the Panama canal
scandal exposure. involving the former
President and his brother-in- law, Douglas
Robinson. and President Taft and his
brother. Charles P. Taft.

State Senator German, statesman .oi
the flesh pot type, has assured the Legis-
lature that Governor Crothers and Comp.
troller Herring didn't know what they
were talking about when they said the
State faced a deficit of 81 ,ooo, 900, and
the Governor urged legislative economy.
Mr.. Gormon wants those members of his
party who have been faithful to him 10
be rewarded for their political services,
and 1t is his determination that they
shall be; not at his expense tho but at
the expense of the State treasury.
Mr.. German is said to have his eye on
tie U. S. Senate and is building up a
strong following, lat the expense of the
taxpayers of the State. Meanwhile the
Legislature, prompted by German and
his kind, refuses to cut down expenses,
as urged by the Governor, but is deter
mined to get all the 'pickings' possible.
Open warfare has not yet been de-
clared as the Governor has not made his
appointments, aud things are practically
ct a standstill under an armed truce.
Z The Governor has until the fiftieth day
Of the session to send his appointments
to the Senate, and it is explained nc
leader wants to break with him until
after the appointments are made.
They realize that with his political
ability he could make certain change:
which might greatly weaken the hold
that these leaders have on their respective
couniies. They want to be consulted in
the making of appointments. and fol
that reason they want to be friendly with
the Governor until the appointments are
made. They will, it is said, hold up con
sideratiou of legislation upon which they
disagree with the Governor until after the
appointments are made. The Governor.
friends say that he will demand action OF
these party questions before appointment
are announced.

THE BUFFALO.

A Good Surveyor and One of Our First
Roadma<ers.
The buffalo was good surveyor. It
did not reason out why it should go in
a certain direction, but its sure instinct
took it by the easiest and most direct
paths, over high lands and low, to the
salt ticks and water courses which
were it's goal. The authors Of "The
Story of the Great Lakes" Edward
Charming and M. f. Lansing, say that
the buffalo observed something like
the principles which today govern the
civil engineer.
As soon as the explorer landed on
the southern shores of Lakes Erie,
Michigan and Superior he came upon
buffalo roads or traces" Sometimes
these were narrow bitches, foot wide
and from six inches to two feet deep,
trodden down by the impact of thou
sands of hoofs as herd after herd Of
buffaloes had stamped along in single
file behind their leaders.
When the first path became too
deep for comfort because of repeated
travel the buffaloes would abandon it
and begin second path alongside the
first, and thus the frequented traces
would be gradually widened.
Again, an immense herd of these
heavy animals would crash through
the forest, breaking in their rapid
progress broad, deep road from one
feeding ground to another. AS this
route would be followed again and
again by this and other herds, it would
become level and hard as a rock, SO
that there was great rejoicing in pio-
neer settlements when the weary road
makers, struggling with log causeways
and swampy hollows, came upon a
firm, solid buffalo trace. Nor was this
an uncommon experience.
The line of many of these roads is
followed today by our railroads and
canals, as it was followed by our log
roads and turnpikes.
The buffalo followed the level of the
valley. He swerved round high points
whenever it was possible, crossing the
ridges and watersheds at the best nat
ural divides and gorges, and he crossed
from one side Of a stream of water to
the other repeatedly in order to avoid
climbing up from the level, after the
fashion Of our modern loop railways.

Cats stIII Have Mn. iIv..

Walled up for three weeks above the
ceiling of the remodeled Guichon
hotel. Seattle. tabby cat was lib
Grated recently by workmen who
heard a faint meowing and made an
opening to release the imprisoned
feline. As the ceiling was plastered
three weeks ago, the cat must have
crept into its prison when the work
men were finishing their task. How
the cat managed to live three weeks
without food is mystery. Even it's
natural prey, mice, would be scarce
in what is practically a new building.
When released puss crawled to
the ground and laid down, apparently
about to give mp the ghost. A dog
happened around and volunteered to
assist the cat to the better lands. In
moment there was flying mass
of fur, splitting and a scratching
then two animals rushing away In
opposite directions. The cat has not
been seen since.

laces and popular illustrated almanacs.
His cart contained his family as well
as his wares, and 1t needed to be a
large one to do so, for his wife, Esther

sixteen children. though only six of
them lived to grow up. The fulness
of his CULVER was apparently one of
the reasons why he gave up peddling
and settled at Lyons, where he became
a teacher of German, while his wife
dealt in ladies' cast off clothing.

The WooIsack.

The Woolsack is the name giveu to
the seat of the lord chancellor of Eng
land in the house of lords. It is a
large square bag of wool, without
either back or arms, and covered with
red cloth, the whole forming kind of
cushioned ottoman, standing near the
center of the chamber. According to
Brewer, the origin of the Woolsack is
as follows: In the reign of Queen
Elizabeth an act of parliament was
passed to prevent the expectation of
wool; and that this source of the ma
donal wealth might be kept constant

the house Of peers. whereon the judges
