An investigation into the business
methods of conducting the govern
ment was begun.

methods of conducting the govern
ment was begun.
The appropriations for the cur
rent year were cut $50, 900, 900 be-
low those of last year.
The tariff was revised without dis
turblng business interests, and new
tariff bill enacted that will prove a
most efficient bill and when
thoroughly understood about as sat
isfactory as is usually secured.
1t has already proven itself a
great revenue gatherer and the
beauty of it is that it derives the
revenue from the trusts and corpor-
ations and wealthy classes instead
of from the poor.
The first year of its operation it
reduced the deficit in our income
of S58, oeo, 900 to zero and gave US
surplus of some 20 odd millions.
One of the greatest features OF
that bill is the minimum and max
imum clauses whereby the President
may enfoce either the higher or
lower rate on any nalion that dis
eliminates in its tariff against us or
allows US to trade with them on an
equality with other nations.
The enforcement or threatened
enforcement of this clause against
several forgcin nations has caused
them to very materially modify their
rates to us.
The probabilities are that few
of the sch dulles in this law were un-
Justly manipulated in the interests Of
corporations and need modification

These things will all come out as
the law is further tested and thor
oughlv investigated by the board
appointed for that purpose.
These principle laws and many
others of minor importance mark
the last congress as one of the most
progressive and efficient we have
ever Lad.
The Republican party is to be
congratulated on its efficient work
done and has again proven itself
competent and worthy of trust by
the people. And though strife aud
contention may arise in localities
we do not believe the people are
ready to turn down the party that
has so amply proven its efficiency
and turn over the affairs of the gov
ernment to party that has always
shown its ineffi ficiency ON every &C
casien when it had the power.
If the farmer feels that he is get
ting TOO much for his produce he
knows the remedy. If the laboring
man feels that he is getting too
much WORK and too big wages, there
is a remedy.
Simply remember conditions that
existed in 90 to 90.

MYSTERIOUS TABLET rs
DUG UP WITH
SKELETONS
Inscription Directs to Distant
Thigh Bone Containing Written
Parchment About Land

4 ABERDEEN, S. D., Jan. Is
6ent to prospect for gravel, A. w.
Vail, a railroad employee at Mo
bridge, unearthed two skeletons,
evidently those of a man and a
woman, al a depth of about two
feet under the ground surface With
the skeletons was a small stone
tablet upon which was chiselled, in
French, the words:
"A hundred feet north and hun.
dred feet west
OF where this stone stood
You will find some papers
That will do you good
Skeptical, Mr.. Vail nevertheless
searched the spot indicated and
discovered an animals thigh bone
containing a piece of parchment
upon which was written in the
French language some sort Of an
article concerning land grant in
Alabama. The document is dated
1888 and signed by one pierre La
Mour."
Mr.. Vail is confident that the
document is genuine and believes
the paper may bring q fortune eth
Ter to himself or to some long miss
ing heir of the mysterious pierre
+. La Mour," and he will have the
paper translated.

DON'T CHARGE 1T
TO CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

Editor The Press: Tuesday
nights issue of The Press prints
news item under the caption.
went Crazy Over Christian
Science" in which the statement
is made that Lloyd Montgomery,
living at 2407 Dean avenue, went
violently insane over the study of
Christian Science. AT the request
of relatives of MIR. Montgomery, the
writer makes the following state
ment of facts in the case.
Mr.. Montgomery has never at
any time been a student of Chris
tian Science, and never but once
has he attended a Christian Science
service. Some months ago a
brother-in-law was healed in Chris
tian Science of a serious physical
ailment, and on account of this
healing the subject was frequently
discussed, but Mr. Montgomery
was less interested than others of
the family. Within the past few
weeks another member of the fam
lily became acquainted with a ma
tive Hindoo, now living in Spokane.
and in this way became interested
in occultism. Of late occultism has
been frequently discussed in the
family circle, but in neither of
these subjects was Mr.. Montgom-
cry nearly so much interested as
were other members Of the family.
Mr.. Montgomery relatives and
friends do not attribute his present
condition to the study of Christian
Science. They only know that at
present he is mentally unbalanced,
and they do not charge this condi-
zion to any special cause.
