DEATH HAS MADE MANY
CHANGES IN THE SENATE
Five Senators Have Died Since Last
Session--Three More Very Feeble
Republicans Now Have
But Little Advantage.

Washington, Jan. Five deaths
in the senate since the adjournment
of the last session and the overthrow
OF the Republican party in a group
of states has directed the attention OF
many members to the fact that he
publican control of the senate
throughout the Sixty-second congress
hangs upon a very slender thread.
A deadlock in one or two legisla-
lures and a couple OF deaths among
senators known to be in rather feeble
health would result in the retirement
Of the Republicans from power.
The senate consists of 80 members,
OF whom SO are Republicans and 50
Democrats, a Republican majority OF
22. In the Sixty-second congress the
Democrats will make net gain OF
nine, electing men OF that party from
states now represented by Republi-
cans.
Senator Brown OF Nebraska, Frye,
OF Maine, Root. of New York, Briggs.
of New Jersey, Burton of Ohio, Nixon,
of Nevada, Bradley, of Kentucky and
Dixon, of Montana will represent
states in that congress which have
elected Democratic legislators and II
death should invade the list mention
ed Democrats would be chosen. Two
and possibly three senators in this list
are known to be in bad health. Both
Senators Frye and Bradley are quite
feeble
In the Republican majority OF eight
must be counted II insurgents, but
there is little cause to fear that under
any circumstances would these men
form coalition with the Democrats
either to reorganize the senate or to
enact legislation of palitical char
acter.
OF the "old guard'-the men who
dominate the affairs Of the senate
Aldrich, Burrows, Carter, Depew,
Hale, Kean and Scott will retire the
fourth of March and Elkins is dead.
The remnant remaining OF the or
ganizaton' consists only OF Cullom,
Frye, Gallinger, Lodge, Perkins.
Smoot and Warren. Whether or not
the Democrats obtain control, the in
dications point to the loss OF power
of the regulars who for many long
years have dominated legislation in
the United States senate.

MaeeSzs Man Who Fell Through Dump Car
Given $5.0S0 Judgment Against
X. c. S. at Ashdown.

Attorneys J. /. Alley and E. ]. Lun-
dy accompanied by their client. j. H.
Cook, returned Friday night from Ash
down where they won suit against
the Kansas City Southern Railroad
Company last week and secured judg-
ment for $5.080 as personal damages
for injuries sustained by Mr.. Cook.
Last May when the trap door of a
gravel car fell open Cook was thrown
from his train while it was running at
speed of twenty miles an hour near
Ashdown. Cook was injured in his
back and has not worked day since.
His suit was for S25. 900.
The case was taken to Ashdown
on change of venue asked by the
Kansas City Southern attorney be-
cause it was claimed fair trial could
not be secured in Polk county.
The jury at Ashdown arrived at its
verdict by each man setting down the
amount of damage he thought the de-
PENDANT should have and the total
sum was divided by twelve. This
gave the amount of SIS, $3.50.
