Will Break in Senate When
Reciprocity Is Passed.
FREE LIST AS A MEDIUM
Numerous Amendments to Farmers
Bill Are Proposed.
DEMOCRATS SEE WAY OUT
Plan for Showing Loyalty to House
Majority Without Sacrificing
Chances on Wool

| The big fight in the Senate for tariff
revision at the special session of Con-
gress will be on just soon as the Ca
madam reciprocity bill is passed by the
Senate tomorrow afternoon. And the
| fight is going to hinge chiefly on the
| farmers free list bill
| To that insurgents and democrats are
preparing to offer many amendments far
| beyond the scope OF the bill as it was
passed by the House: and they have
hopes Of annexing some of them to the
| bill and then pushing it through the Sen
ate.
| When the program for fixing dates for
voting on the important measures before
the Senate was being arranged the in
surgents and democrats-tariff revisionists
| insisted that the free list bill be the
last of the tariff measures to be voted
upon 1t was first proposed that the free
list vote be taken shortly after that on
reciprocity and that the wool bill be dis
posed of later. but to that program the
tariff revisionists would not consent and
the date for the wool vote was advanced
and that on the free list bill set farther
away.
Move to Gain Time.
The move was clearly to give time for
the careful framing VI seNiSeu tdIllI
schedules to be offered as additions to the
free list bill The constitutional prohi-
bition that the Senate cannot pass an
original tariff measure prevents initiative
on the part of senator's, but the small
free list bill passed by the House affords
foundation upon which may be built
revision Of many or all the schedules
Of the Payne Aldrich law.
The vote on the wool bill is to be taken
next Tuesday, for that is the next meas
ure to be disposed of The democrats
have been considering several ways out
Of the perplexing parliamentary situation
in which they have found themselves
with regard to wool revision. If they
voted down the La Toilette substitute in
wool bill of the House democrats, defeat
for both confronted them. If they ac-
copied the La Toilette substitute. upon
which the vote would come before that
on the House bill, 1t would appear that
they repudiated their colleagues in the
House Yet the La Toilette substitute
could not be offered as separate bill
to be voted upon after the Senate demo-
Gratis had gone to defeat in support OF
the House bill, because of the constitu-
tional prohibition against tariff bills orig
mating in the Senate.
One way out, suggested by several
democrats, is to offer the House wool bill
with such slight changes that il would
be practically the House bill and yet
changed sufficiently as to be proper
parliamentary substitute for it, sub
stitute for the main House bill. The
democrats would vote for that, thus
showing their loyalty to the House col
leagues.

Passage Is in Doubt.

the wool bill and the free list bill; and
in that time a determined fight will be
made to incorporate much tariff revision
in the free list measure Whether It
will pass as amended, is big question
Republican regulars who are fighting
tariff revision at this session, assert that
enough opposing votes will be made by
amendments that will be adopted and by
amendments that will be defeated to
create a majority OF the Senate in op-
position. Others declare that amendments
OF such merit will be Incorporated that

"The Battle"
Highly Commended

There are several persons in
town that have had an advanc-
ed privilege of viewing the
Biograph feature picture, "The
Battle" which comes to the
Palm, Saturday, Matinee and
night. Several have said that
the picture is the "Best we
have ever seen," and when we
think of it, that is saying a
whole lot, as there has been
some excellent pictures shown
at the Palm. The dramatic
Mirror in the issue of Nov.
Is b, gives it a great write-up,
and III the correspondence col
umn of the same paper, a pict-
ure Fan in Denver writes as
follows: "In The Battle the
Biograph Co., have achieved a
positive triumph. 1t is a won
derful picture IN every way,
and my olood thrills even now
at its memory" 1t seems, from
all indications, that the Palm
Management has chosen an
other chit" and that enormous
business will result Saturday

dred of the friends and neigh
bors of Willis Selvy dropped in
on him unexpectedly to help
him celebrate the opening Of
his new home which has Just
been completed. Various forms
of amusements were INDUCED
in until about ten o'clock when
delicious refreshments were
served and then more visiting
until midnight. All Who were
there claim to have had the
time of their lives and say they
are going back quite often.
The new home of Mr.. Selvy is
one of the finest country homes
In the county, being modern

the latest design so that this is
one of the most up-to-date

Murderers' Coats Found.

Two coats were found in the
Pitzer corn field south of this
city yesterday and it is thought
that the coats belonged to the
Parslow brothers, who comitted
the Butcher murder in this
city last August. They were
found by C. A. Pitxer and look.
ed like they had been there for
sometime. 1t is known that
the two men ran through there
on the night Of the murder and
it is very plausible that the
coats belonged to them as their
coats were not found when the
bodies were taken from the
Missouri river. seyeFal tinae
tables, some coffee, a small
lunch and a match safe were
found in the coats.

evening meeting Dec. 6, elected

AS the lodge was about to
close a commotion was heard at
the outside door and when the
guard opened the door to learn
the disturbance, he was met by
about 40 Rebekahs, each one
armed with a basket of refresh
ments and all demanding ad-
mission at the same time. The
brother was so surprised, he
was powerless, so they just
pushed him aside and walked
in. When the lodge was inform
ed to the cause of the disturb
ance, Brother Ambrose Burke,
N. G. of the lodge, who never
loses his head on an occasion OF
this kind closed the lodge in
short form, assisted the ladies
in and gave them a hearty
welcome, then the banquet hall
was opened and the good things
set before the astonished Bro
theirs. AS soon as the brothers
recovered from the surprise
they proceeded to help them
selves to the good things set
before them as only hungry
men can do. When all had
been served to their hearts
content, they returned to the
lodge room where all spent a
pleasant hour with music and
songs. At about 1870 all de.
parted to their homes feeling
that it was indeed a complete
surprise and a very pleasant
one. Come again sisters you
will always be welcome.
