Director Newell May Be Removed.


Washington. - Dissatisfaction with
the administration of the reclamation
service under direction of F. III. New
ell is expected to eliminate in short
time in request by the Senate com
mittee on irrigation to the secretary
of the interior for Newell's separation
from the service.
The committee is preparing to make
a report based upon It's inspection last
summer OF all the irrigation projects
of the West.
1t is believed this report will show
that the reclamation service has in
many instances mismanaged the gov
ernment work in its charge and that
the cost OF many OF the projects has
been greatly in excess of what 1t
would have been under proper man
agement. In some instances the cost
has been so greatly out of proportion
to the results obtained as to justify the
belief that the public funds were care
lessly expended.
A partial report has been made EN-
bodying a recommendation for the is
suance of s3O,0O0,000 worth of certifi'
Gates to complete unfinished projects
but the complete report has not been
made.

BABY's SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat. but which gradually
grew worse. We called in doctor.
He said 1t was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three Of the best doctors In Atchison
but he only got worse. His face. head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally got set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and a half to see II 1t would return
but 1t never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason.

s5,000,000 WINNER
Record in Card Game Held by
Young Englishman.
With Little knowledge Of Cards He
Wins Title to Mining property In
Australia That Made
Him Rich.

New York.-Five million dollars is
the largest sum ever won in card
game at single sitting. and the story
OF the vast winning carries the listener
to a lonely hut in a rugged section of
Australia. according to the chronicles
of Ralph Nevili. the English historian
OF gambling. gaming. gamesters and
the turf. says the New York Te!e-
graph. The story is related as an in.
stance Of the whims OF fortune. which
in certain rare instances seems to de-
light in showering her gifts upon
some one who is not gambler.
A young Engiishman. who had gone
to Australia with slender capital.
was standing at the door of his hut
Just as night was falling. when two
men who looked much like tramps ap-
preached. The EngIishman accorded
them such hospitality as ais scant lar
der afforded, and then prepared to put
them up for the night Pipes were at
after dinner. and when conversation
waned one OF the strangers drew
from his pockets q much soiled pack
OF cards.
Although the young host knew little
OF gaming, he finally consented. after
much persuasion. to play for small
kes: but he stipulated that as soon
rs any of the three chanced to lose
such money as they had in their pock-
cts the play should cease. The game
progressed for a time with varying for
tune. but luck eventually went the way
OF the most and the pockets OF his
guests were emptied Of their modest
sums. The losers were anxious to con-
tinue. promosing to remit their losing
upo0 arrival at the nearest town. but
the Englishman insisted that the
agreement be Kept.
We agreed to play for ready
money; your losses are trifling. Let's
turn in and go to bed." he said.
Tho losers continued to insist. but
their entreaties fell on deaf ears. Sud.
denly one Of them said:
"Bill. where's that bit of paper We
got up the country. Perhaps he'll play
US for that" A soiled document was
produced. It appeared to be the title
OF several plots OF land up country.

DECISIONS OF
SUPREME COURT
RAILROADS CAM NOT BE COM
PEELED TO RUN SWITCHES
TO ELEVATORS.
JUDGE BREWER QUOTED
CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL eusI.
NESS WITH PUPILS CLASSIFIED
AS INTERSTATE COMMERCE.

Washington. = Emphasizing the
rights of railroads. the Supreme Court
of the United States Tuesday declared
unconstitutional the Law of Nebraska
requiring railroads to build switches
to all grain elevators along thetr
tracks upon request. and called halt
on the attempt of the state OF Arkan-
sas to penalize an interstate railroad
for failure to supply cars enough to
accommodate interstate traffic.
In announcing the opinion in the Ne.
braska case. Justice Holmes asserted
that although the state possessed Ger
tain police powers and that railroads
must fulfill the purposes for which
their charters were granted. yet rail
roads, like other owners of property
have rights that are protected by the
constitution"
The constitutionality of the Ne
braska statute was first attacked in
the courts of Nebraska. The law was
passed as a result of the agitation
against the alleged combination in the
state between grain dealers and the
owners of elevators to control the
price of grain.
Among other decisions the court
held that the business OF correspon
dence school with pupils in various
states was interstate commerce. and
upheld the act of Arkansas prohibit
ing drumming up of business by ply
sicians and hotel keepers on trains
An odd thing about the sitting was the
announcement as to the decision
of the court of an opinion writ
ten by the late Justice Brewer
In the case of the International Tex,
Book Company OF Scranton. Pa.
against A. T. Pigg Of Topeka. Kan.
the court declared unconstitutional
. Kansas law requiring that corpora
tions seeking to do business in the
state file a prescribed certificate, OF
upon failure to do so that the doors OF
the state courts be closed to them.
The International Text Book com
pany employed an agent to solicit stu
dents In Kansas to take correspon
dence courses in its school in Pennsyl
vania. Pigg executed contract in
1905 in Topeka, Kan. to take such a
course, but subsequently failed to pay
all the tuition required.
Pigg contended that the company
was a foreign corporation doing bust
ness in Kansas without having com.
piled with the state law. Justice Har'
Ian, in the opinion of the court held
that 'in our Judgment in its essential
character, this was commerce among
the states within the meaning OF the
constitution"
The constitutionality of the Texas
state law fixing a tax of 2 per cent
on the gross receipts from the sale OF
oil, nahptha. etc, was upheld.

of treatment of hydrophobia that he

cure in rabies from thre weeks to

dangerous elements of the old Pasteur
treatment. He uses virus made

manner that all virulent poison Is de-
stroyed and a chemical product ID

Snort Called Cruelty.

A curious objection has been raised
by some anti-cruelty people against
Londoners playing with Mexican
jumping beans on warm plate. 1t
seems they draw a ring around the
beans. and the owner of the first bean
to jump out of the circle wins the
money. Now. inside of each bean is a
maggot. and the idea of making these
helpless creatures hop and jump off a
warm plate is form of cruelty. and
nothing warmer than the natural
warmth of the hand should be per.
mitted, say these kindly people.

Money and expense are not essential to
artistic homes and attractive rooms. One
dollar and fifty cents worth of material
will completely transform crude, mar
tistic room into a graceful, dainty apart
ment.
Really it is good taste and skill that
makes the home homelike. That dainty
touch is worth twice as much as money.
Wall paper is expensive-it costs money
10 buy it, to hang it and again to re,
move it. With the use of the alabastncd
wall there is only the slight cost of the
material-any one can brush it on-and it
is not necessary to wash it off the wall
when a fresh coat is required.
1t is very easy to mix, very simple to
apply, but the results are simply beauti-
full. A whole house can be done at just
a little more than the cost of a single
room when ordinary materials are used.
And this is true, that now that we have
go much better materials for use in the
decoration of our homes, that wall paper,
common kalsomine and paint are now as
much out of date as the old time white
wash, tallow candles and rough hewn
floors Mere money is no longer an es-
sential in good housefurnishng in artistic
home making.
The new materials and labor-saving ma
chimes are most welcome to us all-and
every thoughtful woman, every woman
who cares for her home, is quick to utilize
them

ONE OF ADAMS TROUBLES

banquet last week, and told this story
of one of the troubles of the original
ancestor:
Adam had eaten the elaborate re-
past furnished by his helpmeet with
every indication that he relished each
morsel. He complimented her upon
the dainty manner in which the blue
points were served, the flavor OF the
puree of pea, the seasoning of the hsh
and entree, and finally reached de-
licious salad. Adam paused, and with
Q worried look on his face he de-
manded of Eve where she found the
ingredients. She enumerated all ex-
cept the lettuce.
"'where did you get those leaves?
he demanded.
"'Why. they were lying on bush
In the back yard she replied. sweetly.
"'Well. those were my best Sunday

woe is man. which was corrupted into
