Reasons Will Not Convince.


OF securing the passage of the bill with
or without the creation Of peers. The
air is fuii Of rumors. but the most credi-
bic information points TO a declaration
10y the Prime Minister that he will sub
init tho bill III its original form to the
Lords without additional peers. and that
If il be rejected Parliament will be pro-
rosued for a day. the measure will be
reintroduced and several hundreds Of
peers created for placing It on the stat
ute book.
1t is probable that plain statement
of the intentions of the government Will
suffice for securing the enactment of the
bin on Wednesday. The voting viii be
close. since Lord Halsburys followers
are about equal in number to Lord Nor
lcys. but six or eight Of Lord Lans-
downe's abstainers may enter the gov
eminent lobby for the sake Of prevent
ing any creation Of peers.
!. Fire Eaters Will Be Responsible.
M II the government takes this course 1t
/wl act with moderation. and Lord
Halsburys fire caters will be solely re-
sponsibie for the degradation Of the priv
ileged order II the measure be defeated
temporarily and finally enacted by big
creation of peers.
Apparently the passage Of tho bill
cannot be guaranteed by Lord Lans-
downc nor calculated with precision by
Lord Morley. The creation of fifty or a
will
from their pledges and reinforce Lord
Halsburys fighting force so strongly
that the measure will be lost.
The best weapon in the government
,rmory is the menace of big batch Of
creations. If the bill be defeated it
NAV alarm the main body OF peers and
force them 20 take active measures
against the Tory rebels.
While Lord Halsbury's revolt has APP
pealed to the sporting instincts OF ag-
rressive UnioniSm. II has become, in spite
Of the protestations Of its leaders, a de-
Iiherate attempt TO discredit Mr.. Bal
four If II be successful his authority

teen persons were injured and
scores of passengers had a mar
row escape last night, when the
Big Four's Twentieth Century
train, running between Cincinnati
and Cleveland, was wrecked at
La Grange, IS miles east of Cleve-
land.
All the injured were only
bruised or cut by flying glass, and
were brought to Cleveland by
relief train. Railroad men con-
slider it remarkable that there
were not many fatalities.
The wrecked train connects at
Cleveland with the Chicago-New
York limited. Owing to the
storm it was late, and was rum
ming 90 miles an hour in an eff
fort to catch up to its schedule.
The tender and ten cars of the
train left the rails and bumped
over the ties for some distance be-
fore being brought to a stop. The
smoker turned over in the ditch.

Many Grants Pass people find that
bad weather brings on dull pain IN
the back, or rheumatic aching, neu-

weakness. If, when you get wet or
cold, 1t settles on the kidneys" and
there is a shivery, chilly sensation
in the back, it shows kidney weak
ness, which is often the beginning
of disease. Doan's Kidney Pills
should be used persistently until the
chilly feeling is gone, and the flow

much suffering.

too frequently, especially at night,

WONDERFUL MOVING VINE.
One OF the Most Interestiao Of Ant
phsnonena on Record.

Near the bank Of the GuSAlupe
river | saw something green upon
the ground and, hurrying forward,
found a lovely vine with leaves
smaller tran those Of the smilax,
Of a pale. tender green. The vine
had ils root about FIVE feet from the
trunk Of towering cottonwood
tree and spread ont Oh the ground
four or five inchcs wide. becoming
little narrower as it approached
the tree. / coall see no stems or
tendrils, SO thick was the growth,
and az | drew close TO the tree ! saw
that the vine branched just above
the ground and went climbing up
the great trunk and the branches.
1t grew more and more slender un-
til far up ] could distinguish only a
threadlike line Of green.
As ! stood intently watching the
delicate, graceful vine, l became
aware that it was pervaded by a
curious, tremulous motion. Then
saw that the individual leaves
we're not stationary. Picking up q
twig from the ground, l touched
one Of the leaves and found 10 my
arhazement that there was brown
ant under IL abb

held in the manjiblcs Of an ant in
such a way as to cAnceal the body OF
the insect, and lhe ants were coming
down the tree. Tie discovery came
upon me with shock had STUN

Books had told me that such ants
we're found in the tropics, where
they carried bits Of leaves over their
heads as if to protect themselves
from the sun. But here, on the
banks of a Texas river, / had found
a colony of them, shading them
selves where there was no sun and

few yards I met my husband coming
to look for me. he was even more
excited over the phenomenon than /
was and shouted for the others to
come quickly. On investigation we
found that the spot where the vine
seemed to have its root was really
the opening of the ant nest. The
tiny creatures had BY some instinct
learned that the topmost branches
Of the cottonwood had put out their
frst small leaves. They had climb

cut off and brought down their

The Fight on Tom Tag
gart and all Friends Of The
gallant French Lick Demo-.
Crat is Most Narrow and
Unidentified.

The fight on Samuel Ralston
for Governor in some parts of
the State is being made because
it is claimed that he has Tom
Taggart for a friend. A candi-
date for the great and dignifed
office of Governor of Indiana
ought to be supported because of
his fitness, his ability. his un-
swerving integrity. his sterling
honesty. his high personal char
acter and the principles and
things for which he stands or op-
poses and not because somebody
else is for him or against him.
Who is sThos. Taggart and
what has he done that a great
man is to be opposed for cover
nor because Mr.. Taggart supports
him? Has not Mr.. Taggart just
as much right legally and morally
to have a choice for governor as
has Gov. Marshall, Steve Flem-
ing, John Z Lamb. Pete Smith
or Billie Cox?
Mr.. Taggart is not an Office
holder and does not want any Of
flee. He is simply an active, sue
cessful business man and an ear
nest enthusiastic liberal Demo-
crat, always loyal TO his friends
and true to his party.
During the last twenty years
he has given the Democratic
party more money and more time
than any ten men in the state.
When the party needs help in a
financial way, his bank account
is opened up and heIdon't have to
be begged or squeezed to get it.
II comes as free as falls the dew
drops of heaven and just about
as abundant and often. Being
possessed of magnetic qualities
and the highest and purest degree
of Democracy and ever true and
loyal to a friend, he has gathered
about him a class Of admiring.
working Democrats whom he
neither seeks to boss or to lead.

turn Big Profits in Saving
Manure How to
Build One.

In response to a query regarding =
cement floor for saving manure. Mr..
S. S. Staley Of Ohio, makes the follow
ing reply in the Breeders Gazette.
Bulletin No. 1873 of the Ohio Expert.
ment Station says that the saving Of
manure from So head of cattle. % on
hard earth floor and "a on cement
floor, was $50 more on the cement
than on the earth floor. It is stated
also that half the cost of the cement
floor was saved In six months feeding
So one sees 1t Is not only practicable
but will pay big returns in saving ma
nure, to say nothing Of having the cat
tie wading knee-deep in the mud.
A concrete yard floor can be put
down directly on the earth. after
scraping off the top-soil until hard
level floor is obtained; but 1t is best
to excavate 10 or IL inches and fill
in with 6 or inches of gravel or GIN
ders, SO that water will not stand I'M
der the concrete and cause 1t to heave
by frost. A curb or wall of concrete
10 inches deep should be built all
around to keep out rats. and also from
being undermined by hog wallows.
For cattle the floor had best be 9
inches thick and for the hog floor Z
inches. A mixture of cement, 2 sand
and 4 parts of crushed stone passing
through an inch mesh. will make o
good floor. If pit or creek gravel 10
used, which has about that proportion
of sand and gravel, our custom here
is to use one barrel "A sacks) to one
yard of gravel. All this work can be
done by the farm help, If some one
with some knowledge or experiences
can be had to superintend 1t.
