new FACES TO BE
seen in SENATE
FLINT OF CALIFORNIA AND PILES
or OREGON WILL RETIRE
SEATS OF OTHERS IN.
SECURE.

Washington, May "a general in
vestigation into the cause of the ILL
health of senators soon will be in or
der No less than eight of the mem
bers of the highest legislative body IN
the world are on the sick list, includ-
Ing Senator Daniel of Virginia, Nc
Cumber of North Dakota, TillInan OF
South Carolina, Depew of New York
and Penrose of Pennsylvania.
The idea that the trouble is due to
too much insurgency is not tenable as
the patents are not among those who
find 1t necessary to take this business
very much to heart.
The epidemic of retirement among
senatorial leaders may perhaps be at
tributed to this cause, however The
United States senate, by the way,
promises to be almost unrecognizable
after March 4, 1911. Aldrich will be
out certainly If the. Macedonian cry
from the regulars does not induce him
to change his determination. There
seems to be strong chance that the
seats of Senators Hale of Maine, Bur-
rows of Michigan, Depew of New
York will be occupied by other men,
while Lodge of Massachusetts, Bever-
idge of Indiana Dick of Ohio, Kean OF
New Jersey LaFollette of Wisconsin
and other leaders can hardly be said
to have a copper-fastened cinch on
their places.
Then Senators Flint of California
and Piles of Oregon have announced
that they have had enough of the sem
ate. 1t will be a long time since so
many new faces will be seen in the
senate.

Power of Power, N. D., arrived here
today to testify before the senate COM

on the subject of high prices.
The hearing will take place tomor-

that he is convinced the tariff has abb

stuffs.

ting more than his share"
This he hopes to prove with the use
Of tables and data compiled by him

MRS. HYDE near
COLLAPSE ON
WITNESS STAND

Kansas City, May 9.-From the lips
OF Mrs. B. G. Hyde, the jury in her
husbands trial on charge of murder
today heard the story of the Swope
tragedy. Unused to the experience of
testifying before a crowded courtroom.
Mrs. Hyde was very nervous during
the first few minutes she was on the
stand. The mention of the name OF
her cousin, Moss Hunton, brought tears
to her eyes and she was unable to
speak. The courtroom became silent.
Attorney Walsh ceased 70 question the
witness. 1t was feared she might coll
lapse but after sobbing a few minutes
Mrs. Hyde composed herself, and was
able to proceed with her testimony.
Thereafter she spoke distinctly and
followed the line of Interrogation with
out difficulty.
Mrs. Hyde Denies.
The salient features Of her testi-
mony were her declarations as fol-
lows: That DIR. Twyman adjusted the
string which stopped the flow of blood
from Huntoon's body; that she did
not request her husband to stop the
bleeding: that Col Thomas Swope
never cried out on his death bed that
he wished he had never taken the
medicine Hyde gave him; that the
millfonaire's symptoms were entirely
different from those described by the
nurses who testified for him: that
Miss Keller, the nurse who swore that
Hyde asked her to use her influence
with Colonel Swope to have the ply
stefan made an administrator of the
millionaire's estate, overheard the wit
ness and Hyde discussing such q plan:
that the remedies of the Jordan.

Hyde gave the Swope children and fr

The management of the State Fair as

purely an amusement feature as the
name might imply-for there will be
midway on the grounds-but town

use Of the grounds.
Each morning the regular admission
price will be collected from the camp
ers. A nominal charge will be made
for tents and regular admission fee
will be charged for any vehicle taken in
the grounds, though no additional fee
will be collected while the vehicle re-
mains in the grounds.
The tenters practically will live out

with small sheet iron or gasoline
stoves, while others who are not so

1t is stated that at the Nebraska
state fair one such woman's societey
took in enough money to almost pay
the pastors salary for year.
Large numbers of families are ex-
pected to drive to Topeka from points
within a radius of 100 miles. The
children especially will enjoy the week
at the fair as there will be swings and
other means of amusement provided.
Secretary H. L. Cook is out of town

312 pounds above his head. With two
hands he can lift 448 pounds above his
haed-60 pounds more than has ever
been raised in the same manner by
