Target of Late

Idaho Senator Refers to Former Of
fetal as Apostle of Fallacy,
Theory and Ignorance.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-when the SEN
ate today resumed consideration of the
public land withdrawal bill Mr.. Hepburn
declared the proposition to withdraw the
public lands for so-called conservation to
be "a political impertinence on the part of
the people of the east" He said that in
the great falls of the Potomac there was
enough water power to move every wheel
in the District of Columbia"
Conservation should begin at home, he
said. and he advised the national govern
ment to give its attention to the water
population where they would be made
available.
And now comes this apostle of fallacy,
theory and ignorance, the ex-forester OF
the United States who is reported to be
opposing this exception" he added.
Senator Hughes of Colorado declared that
the present tendency was towards a feudal
system, like that which had dlsgraced
Ireland and made progress in Germany
impossible" MIR. Hughes scoffed at the
idea that the country's resources were ex-
hausted and declared it would take 800
years to mine out the coal that is known
to exist in Colorado alone In addition he
quoted reports Of the geological survey to
show that there were 1000 years open to
coal mining in the world.
Senator Carter offered as an amendment
to the bill the provisions of the bill, which
heretofore had passed the senate and which
authorized the issuance of $50, 900 600 of GER
tificates of Indebtedness with which to
complete existing irrigation projects. Sem

to place on trial Harry G. Mcintyre who
Is charged with the murder of o. f,
Hamilton. Two days have been spent in
selecting a jury and at this time eleven

This case marks a dark blot on the his
tory of Hooker county, the first since its

Reports that ranchmen were interested
in Hamitons murder are being dns-
counted here, and 1t is possible that nc
attempt will be made to prove such the
case. Perfect order has prevailed here
since the discovery of Hamilton's body
near the stock yards in this city.

SWEDISH MISSION SESSION
Nebraska Men Return from Meeting
Church College Not Yet
Located.

HELDREGE Neb Juno 15-(Special. y
Rev Irving Hallen, Rev. j. G. Olsen and J.
a. Hanson of this city have just returned
from the annual Swedish Mission assembly
which was in session all OF last week at
Boone, Iowa. The most important work OF
the assembly, the locating of the church
college, was postponed until later
The three Phelps County men were on the
committee which had in hand the selection
of the place for the school, and were pre-
sent especially to push this cItys claim for
the institution. There were about fifteen
cities In the race, and all of them had rep
resentatives present to meet the location
committee and lay their proposition before
them. Omaha and Holdrege were the only
two cities from Nebraska.
Although taken numerically the Swedish
Mission church Is not exceptionally strong
In the United States, 1t has an unusually
wonderful growth In Nebraska, and there
are now churches of the denomination in
every Swedish community, and all OF the
larger cities OF the state.
The members of the church in Nebraska
have contributed more for the proposed col
lege than any other state, and of the
amount over s22,OOO,OO, Phelps county has
given a large per cent. For this reason the
local men urged the claims of this city with
more emphasis. and they had in addition,
the assurance OF the Commercial club, that
IL the college colud be gotten here, an ex-
oellent site for the college would be given
to them. together with a cash bonus OF
$4,000.
After a thourough consideration OF the
various claims of the cities in the race for
the institution the committee decided TO de-
Ter action, and take the matter under
special advisement later on. 1t is thought
that the location may be definitely decided
upon, however, until the next meeting of
the general assembly which in all proba-
olity' be in this state next May.

wife told me that she often saw him
studying at night. seated on the cellar
door. reading Blackstone often until
midnight by the light OF the moon.
Lincoln always took note OF the
light and dark of the moons, as is
shown by an incident which occurred
during his early practice OF law. A
murder was committed in the neigh
borhood Of the village, and the son of
the surveyors wife was arrested on
suspicion from the testimony of an
EYE witness" In the meantime Lin
coin had swung out his shingle as
lawyer. at Springfield, and on this
occasion nobly did he prove that the
kindness Of the surveyor was not for
stone by the moonlight.
He went to the jail and questioned
the young prisoner. who asserted his
innocence, and Lincoln took up the
case.
At the trial the witness swore that
he saw the murder committed.
Might you not be mistaken" asked
Lincoln. "A dim light is deceptive.
and II was a dark night"
The witness FASTENED to reiterate
that It was bright moonlight. where
upon Lincoln promptly pulled from
among his books an almanac. and said
calmly:
1T is not necessary for me to make
a plea. for no Jury can place any re-
lance on a witness who will swear
that II was a moonlight night when
the almanac proves that it was the
dark of the moon. Daniel w. Ayers.

"They were walnut rails. such as
would be hard to find now. but there
was plenty of that kind of fine hard

"reminiscences OF the most interesting
portion of his long public career have
been kept ever fresh in his memory by
continuous service at the White House
In Washington. of which he has been
an attache for more than two-score
years. and where he constantly sees
objects and Incidents that remind him
OF the kindly executive who occupied
the presidential mansion when he first
took up his duties there.
Cot Crook. who is now in his seven

past the dlsbursing officer OF the presi.
dental business establishment. but
during the Lincoln administration he
was the presidents bodyguard. and
thus, naturally. came more closely and
continuously In contact with the great
American than did almost any other
individual. Crook was little more than
twenty years of age when the civil
war broke out. and as soon as he was

the expiration OF his term OF enlist
ment he secured a position on the po-
lice force az the national capital, and II
was while serving in this capacity that
he was chosen as the principal body

Under present conditions the presi.
dent OF the United States need scarce
ly exchange a word with his secret
service protectors. who usually walk
or ride some little distance behind him,
but Lincoln was wont to insist that his
bodyguard walk by his side, after the
manner OF a personal friend rather
than an official protector. The presi.

was young and. as he confesses. a
trife bashful at the outset In his
walks about the capital and his nightly
tramps from the White House to the

wrapped in a rough gray shawl and
wearing n tall beaver hat Often the
