Senator Lorimer did not vote because
of his interest in the case and Senator
Taliaferro was in his seat but did not
respond to his name. The vote of Sen
ator Cullom, Mr.. Lolirner's colleague,
was awaited with great interest. Both
sides had claimed him. He voted for
Lorimer.
While no pairs were announced SEN
ator AIdrich was paired on other ques-
tions with Senator Terrell, both being
absent owing to illness. Senator Ialla-
ferro's silence may signify a pair with
Senator Frazier who was absent ow-
ing TO the death of his mother. Mr..
Taliaferro had teen understood to be
pro-Lorimer There is one vacancy
| caused by the death of Mr.. Hughes OF
| Colorado, leaving the present voting
strength of the senate 81, and 46 a
quorum. Mr.. Lorimer got a majority
of the sitting members. The position
| of Senators Frazier and Terrell who
were absent were announced as both
| anti-Lorimer.
There is a general understanding
! that Aldrich would have favored Lori
| mer Nothing was stated on the fooi
! regarding his attitude.
Inasmuch as the majority of the
| committee on privileges and elections
! did not accompany its report exonerat-

upon which a vote could be taken in
| the senate, the action today was in con-
nection with the Beveridge resolution
| This resolution is as follows:
Resolved, That william Lorimer wa:
not duly and legally elected to seal
in the senate of the United States by
the legislature Of the state of Illinois,
The negative votes, therefore were
cast by those who favor the Illinois SEN

Senator Nathan B. Scott, of West
Virginia, received the following tele-
gram from NJ. P. Miller of Topeka IN
presenting it to the senate, Mr.. Scott
said: "I send the following TELEGRAM
TO the desk and ask Mr.. Rose, the clerk

telegram read:

be two things that grieve my heart. A
man of war that suffereth poverty.
First Esdras, 4-26: And he commanded
to give to all that kept the city pen
sions and wages.'''
Mr.. Scott requested the telegram be
printed in the Congressional Record
which was done.
Senator Curtis received a telegram in
the nature of a memorial from the
president of the Kansas State Farm
ers' Union, opposing Canadian reciproc-
ity, which was read to the senate and
ordered printed in the Record. 1t read

THE ROAD TO PROSPERITY

As little as has been thought of it, the champion cotton grower of the world lives in Arkansas. He is A. B. Johns, and lives near Forrest City. On twenty acres of land Mir. Johns grew, last year, an average of $500 pounds of seed cotton, or about 9 bales, per acre. Five years ago he began experi- menting with cotton and has in- creased his yield per acre each year. He has set his mark at five bales per acre, and says he's go- ing to reach 1t.
 Increasing the yield per acre is the secret of success in farming. When the farmers fully realize this fact, and begin making great CT efforts to grow larger crops on fewer acres, instead of trying to cultivate more acres, they will then be making real progress toward prosperity.

The country celebrated the one hundredth birthday anniversary of Horace Greeley this month, and that reminds us of what he said to young men about going west to make a fortune. Times and conditions have changed in one hundred years, and we believe that old Horace would say now to the young men of our town Stay where you are, roll up your shirt sleeves and get at the job. " This insane notion of thinking that the persimmons are within easier reach thousand miles away from home has very depressing effect upon some of our young people. Success is the reward of industry and ability.

Tina 70 Paint a Shin.

The latest thing in ship painting is
to apply no paint at all-not until
they have been at sea for some
months at any rate. The constant re-
painting of armored ships and ships
with steel hulls involves an enormous
cost, and since 1t has been found that
when vessel is allowed to go un-
painted for several months the steel
scales, which usually come loose I'M
der the paint and afford an opportun-
ity for rust to attack the surface,

experimenting with implanted craft.
The training ship EXmouth was the
first one tried. 1t was given two
months at sea with no paint and then
given four coats in dry dock, At the
end of five years there was scarcely
trace of wear except at the water
line, and the bottom was in perfect
condition The idea was first sug,
gested by A. C. Holzapfel, who had
made a study of the Exmouth, and
now the steel ships are all put out to
soak before being painted.

Oxen In Lumber Camps.

After nearly fifty years retirement
from active service the OK has again
come into recognition as motive
power In the numbering industry of
northern Minnesota, northern Wlsoon-
sin and among the frontier settlers of
these states. The reason is the high
price Of feed for horses.
There is little or no expense for the
keep" Of oxen as compared with that
Of horses. 1t is estimated that there
are now in northern Wisconsin and
Minnesota 1000 yoke Of oxen used IN
hauling logs which have replaced high.
priced horses. This is nearly double
the number employed a year ago.
So satisfactory are these animals
proving in the cultivation of land from
which the timber has been cut that
It is likely their use will become gen
eral and remain so for many years.

WoMAN's LIFE IN PORTUGAL
She Does Most of the Farm Work and
Shares In Heavy Labor Of
the Cities.

A good part of the farm work In
Portugal is performed by the women,
who see no reason why they should
regard digging, hoeing and blowing
as the work of men alone. The man
who owns q few acres Of land will
often leave its cultivation to his wife
and daughters, while he labors as car
penter, stonemason or cooper, for
cask-making is one of their important
Industries. He also likes to get job
as a waiter in one of the numerous
hotels at seaside resorts, for the
country has thousands of continental
and English visitors. Women share
in the heavy work of the cities as
we'll. There are female porters, la
borers on the docks, market tenders,
and even women coal-heavers, fish
ermen, or rather fisherwomen, and
sailors. They are as strong and
hardy as their husbands and broth
ers and seem to stand long hours and,
hard labor as we'll
OF course it rather takes away the
glamour of romance when one sees a
young woman with finely chiseled fea-
lures and beautiful black eyes digging
with spade and mattock or heaving a
basket of coal into ships hold with
as much ease as the American girl
0Iays tennis and golf. They seem
happy under what we would consider

would probably have his labor for his
