view of the preservation OF the water
supply.
The increase provided for the navy
was notable. Two battleships of $4,000
tons each, armed with 14-inch guns.
making them the most formidable
dreadnoughts afloat, were authorized.
The naval strength of the United
States will be further supplemented
by six torpedo boat destroyers, two
GOLFERS and four submarines, while
an increase of the personnel of the
navy of 5000 men was authorized.
Greater safety of railroad employees
and travellers will be obtained by the
laws enacted to extend the use of
safety appliances.
A measure important to agricultural
branding and adulteration of paris
green and other insecticides was
passed.
An appropriation of 100000 was
made to be used by the attorney gen
eral in enforcing the Sherman anti
trust law. The house adopted an
amendment providing that no part of
the appropriation should be used in
prosecuting labor organizations. but
the senate struck out this provision.
and later the house voted to recede
from it's position upon it. The dis
cussion and demands of labor leaders
brought out a letter from President
Taft who took strong position
against class legislation of that char
acter.
The sum of 100000, with the sug
gestion that as much more as might
be needed might be forthcoming, was
appropriated for the raising and re-
moval of the wreck of the battleshiD
Maine, sunk in the harbor Of Havana.
Cuba.
Further regulations of the immi-
grant service was provided so as to
improve the character of immigrants
obtaining admission into this coun-

for the better protection of the AL
askan seal fisheries, for the promotion
of the efficiency of the militia of the
several states, for the parole of Unit
ed States prisoners whose conduct
indicates that they would not abuse
their liberty, for the franking of pub
locations by the blind and for the pre-
servation of natural scenery through
the establishment of Glacier national
park in Montana.
Friday was a busy day in the Sen.
ate.
After the general deficiency had
been adopted Senator Gore attacked
the provision relating to the approval
of contracts with the Choctaw and
Chicasaw Indians. He said that the
approval of these contracts ment the
payment of 100000 to J. F. Nc
Murray, an Oklahoma attorney and a
loss of that sum to the Indians. He
charged that a big lobby was main
tanned in Washington in the interest
of the contracts and said that he had
been offered from $4,000 to $4,000
to support the claim.

La Crosse. With 1900 eX-
cursionists on board, the Acme Packet
company's big steamer J. S. caught fire
in the Mississippi between Genoa and
Victory, and, although the steamer
was burned to the waters edge,
prompt action of Captain Strecktus
in Bleaching the boat when the first
alarm was sounded, saved nearly every
person on board.
The steamer brought 1000 people
from Lansing, Iowa, and 500 from in
termediate points to La Crosse, leav-
ing here on the return trip at 8
o'clock. The boat caught fire when
two miles above Victory, Wis, just op-
posite Bad Axe bend, the blaze break
ing out of the lower works close to
the boiler-room.
Putting on full speed Captain Streck-
fus headed the boat direct for Bad Axe
island in mid river, which fortunately
was only short distance away. Be-
fore the general alarm was sounded
the vessel had grounded on the sand.
1t took only few minutes work to
get the passengers off the boat The
crew worked valiantly to control the
excursionists, and although there was
a rush to get of the boat, sufficient
check was held on the crowd so that
only one woman was seriously injured.
A few minutes after the steamer
had been cleared of passengers and
+ of n
idly burned to the waters edge. The
excursionists were stranded on an is
land 500 feet long and 800 feet wide and
a few launches and row boats from
Victory and nearby hamlets made
slow Roadway in getting them to the
mainland.
Hundreds of people jumped into the
river when the steamer ]. S. ap-
preached the island, many from the
top deck and sustained injuries, some
of them of serious nature.
Mrs Emma Randall of New Albion
Iowa, jumped as soon as the alarm was
sounded and drowned. The three men
who persisted were locked up in the
hold forward, having become disorder
Iy. It is believed that they were
burned to death
At least a dozen women tossed their
babies to members of the crew who
were in the water near the bank fol-
lowing them a moment later, to be
dragged from the water in safety.
Jack Page, boat policeman, caught
six babies in his arms, and rescued
nearly three hundred who leaped
shoreward into the water.
Mrs tombstone Meyer of Lansing
was trampled upon and fatally injured.
Joe Coyle of Lansing slid down a
burning stanchion and both hands are
badly burned. Mrs. John Joseph of
De Soto and DR.. Meyer of Lansing sus-
tanned broken legs. Mrs. Gus Keep
pier of De Sofa sprained an ankle.
The boat was valued at $4,000 and is
a total loss.

WOMEN LIKE BLEACHED FLOUR
Farmers Wives Testify in Missouri
Case.

Kansas City, June 25.-Testimony
in the bleached flour case turned from
the opinions of experts to the stories
of women who had mixed, baked and
eaten bread made in part from ingre-
dents that government attorneys con-
tend are injurious. The witnesses
were farmers wives from near Green
castle, Mo. All had used -four of the
same brand as that which the federal
authorities seized for use in this case.
They said the bread was good.
Jurymen, who at times during the
testimony of experts showed signs of
WEAKNESS, listened attentively to the
women. Some of the jurors tasted
homemade bread that was offered in
evidence.
That bleaching tended to make no
ticeable imperfections and impuritie
in flour was testified to by w. c.
Dunn, a miller of independence, Mo.
He brought samples of bleached -four
with him. Bleaching, he added, would
make superior flour lighter and infe
rior flour darker.

ANOTHER U. S. SENATOR DEAD
JOHN w. DANIEL OF VIRGINIA is
CALLED.
End Comes, After Long Illness, With
Family at the Bed
side.

Lynchburg, Va, June 3O.-John
W. Daniel, senior senator from Vir-
ginia, died at Lynchburg sanitarium
of paralysis and cerebral hemmorr-
hage.
The statesman's illness began with
a Slight attack of appopleXy in Phlla-
delphia last October, this keeping him
from his seat at the opening of con-
gress in December. Only once since
that had he appeared before an audi
ence and that was for an informal talk
in January.
The end came almost without a
struggle. Dissolution was rapid. The
family were present at the end.
At midnight decision had been
reached by the family that the funeral
would be held here Friday.
The family had been fully aware Of
his condition. At no time had there
been any hope of his recovery, the only
question being that of how long his
vitality could battle against over
Whelming odds.

Hannah More and Her Time.

Nowadays few people probably read
the works of Miss Hannah More. but
IN her own time, says the London Spec
tator. they had tremendous circulation,
and, at any rate, she was remunerated
tor her efforts on scale that is cal
culated to make budding writer's of the
present generation open their eyes with
astonishment and sigh for similar treat
ment. Augustine Birrell, in one of his
delightful essays, has recorded the fact
that he got rid of Hannah More's writ
ings by burying them deep down in his
garden, and he expressed the fervent
hope that they might never be disturbed.
Yet for her novel. Coelebs in Search of
W lie" which was issued in 1909, she
obtained f20O0 in single year, and still
retained the copyright in her own hands.
