Drink Has Been Cause of All His
Woes, He Says-Has Offers
to Enter Vaudeville.

Pat Grove says the water wagon
will have to hit some pretty hard
bumps 10 shake him off again. He
has taken a new hold, and declares he
is on this time to stick to the end of
his days. Pat got on a bender here
last Saturday night and when the
lights were turned upon him he dis
covered that some one had planted a
decoration over his right optic, and
he was used up otherwise. He has
numerous friends hereabout-having
been raised along the Wapsie in Scott
county. Iowa. and he was induced to
try the Neal liquor cure treatment at
the branch institute in Davenport.
Pat, though skeptical, submitted, and
yesterday he came forth cured, he
stated.

my family" Pat said. LAS you prob,

Away From Temptation.
The environments have much TO

Il had often made the resolution to
quit drinking. but it was impossible for
me to do so any length of time of my

treatment has supplied the missing
link and that I have taken my last
drink"
Pat states he has several offers TO
enter vaudeville and as he has made
big money in the show business in the
Fast. he will probably take it up again,
for a time at least. He also cOntem-

Catfish Six Feet Long.

Valley, Neb, June 25.-Presuma-
bly, the largest fish ever caught in
inland waters was landed here by
Willis Orris and John Wixon, far
mers. 1t was a black catfish and
was almost six feet long,
The Platte river was unusually
high this spring, having flooded the
lowlands and bottoms, Now it is
rapidly receding. The other day
Orris and his hired man, WiXon
were out in a pasture, repairing
fences. In a Swale over which the
river had swept, and which Was
filled with water to depth of a
couple of feet they noticed a great
disturbance. Going out there they
discovered the monstrOus fish.
PitchforkS were secured and then
the chase commenced. The swale
was about lOO feet wide and 3UO
long and back and forth the fish
flew. laShing the water into foam.
The fish, finally tired out, was
driven into shallow water and
speared to death. 1t is presumed
that it came up out of the Missouri
river, as a fifty-pounder is the larg-
est fish that has heretofore been
caught out of the Platte.

Thus, not knowing in whose hands he

of one of the most noted professional

Postofhce Inspector Rooge states that
he is confident that these same two were

the postoffice at Chipley, and that one
of the suit cases which was found be-

INSURGENTS REVOLT AGAIN
WHEN READ OUT OF PARTY
Resent Congressional Committees Plan to Put Them With
out the Pale on Support in Coming Congressional Eec-
ons--L eaders to Invoke Caucus to Suppress Revolt

Gardner gave out an interview early In
the session, i'm which he favored a ces-
sation of hostilities. Today. he stated that
some time ago he had urged his insurgent
associates to adopt conciliatory course
but he was now convinced in view of the
many recent occurrences that they were
right in not doing so. He was now i'm
favor OF a radical program of action.
81 expect" he said, ito act with the
insurgents on all matters relating to the
rules and management of the house of
representatives. ] had hoped that things
, would take a different turn, and there
would be no split in the party.
II am personally in favor of practically
everything the president recommended
and shall so vote. The insurgents may act
in these matters as each sees fit IL Is
unfair TO represent the house insurgents
as being opposed to President Taft. They
are associated for the single purpose of
freeing the lower house of congress from
autocracy."
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1O.-The power OF
the party caucus will be invoked in the
house in the effort to suppress the re-
volt of the insurgents. The leaders de-
cided today that whenever the insurgents.
as body. differ with the majority. the
caucus shall determine the party course.
