BOURNE BILL BAD.
Committee viii Probably Consign It
to Wastebasket.

Washington, D. C.-The bill of Sen.
ator Bourne, designed to rob the
United States Supreme court of its
constitutional authority, and to enable
single member of that tribunal to
thwart the will and judgment of the
other eight members, having been re-
ferered to the committee on judiciary.
will never again see the light of day.
That committee will never as much as
give the bill consideration; it will not
even dignity the measure by reporting
it adversely, but will send it to the
waste basket unnoticed.
The senior senator from Oregon has
been the father of many pieces of
freak legislation, but in the Judgment
of conservative senators, he has never
proposed anything quite so radical as
this judiciary bill, which, if enacted
and held constitutional, would pave
the way for the enactment and en-
forcement of all sorts of freak legis-
lation, both by the Federal congress
and by state legislatures.

WARS GLORY EXPENSIVE.
AIsace-Lorraine Comes at $1,000 an
Acre to Germany.

Paris = Thomas A. Edison, the
American inventor, sees no glory in
war, but he believes the coming of the
aeroplane has put an end to it. "As
| look at the historical monuments of
this city," he continued, II fail to
find any bargains among them. The
Arch OF Triumph does not impress me,
for | always see beside it another and
greater arch, thousands of feet high,
made of the phosphate of the bones of
victims sacrificed for Napoleon's per-
sonal glory. Conquest costs: it never
pays. For Alsace and Lorraine the
Germans have paid more than 81, 900
an acre, and they thought they had
gained it free; and their little march
around the Arch of Triumph was in
the end the costliest promenade ever
made.
:" But this well-assumed war lords
vocation has come to an end. The
German Emperor's spasmodic witch
ings are but the death throes of the
conquest business. There are too
many newspapers and schools in the
present day Of civilization to allow of
the Anticipated methods of those over
ambitious men who, hiding behind
their selfish aims, in loud cry for the
glory of their country force ruin on
their people.

Leavenworth = An ordinance, the
drastic nature of which is unprece-
dented in Kansas because it provides
that persons and firms introducing in
toxicants from other states into Leav-

alleys in delivering the liquor, was
placed on its first reading and passed
unanimously at meeting of the city
commissioners. If the ordinance is
held to be valid Leavenworth will
reap harvest from the large quaint
ties of liquor delivered from Missouri.

NEW GOLD RUSH STARTS.
Hundreds in Mad Stampede tor Rich
Yukon Strike.

Skagway-Colonel Conrad, of Carl

strike on McClintock creek, entering
Marsh lake, about 10 miles from Tag
ish post, Yukon territory. A STAN

and the town of Caricross is deserted
by every one who has right to file on
a mining claim.
Great excitement prevails in the
surrounding towns and all the boats
are crowded with prospectors. Many
unable to get aboard the steamers are
rushing overland.
"Shorty" Austin and Reid Good
were on the creek and found lone
prospector at work. He had hole 10
feet deep and although he had not
reached bed rock had found good pay.
The ground is not frozen, and the
gold, which is coarse, appears plenti-
full.
