LOOKING BACK On
THE61ST CONGRESS
Distinguished by Faync-Al
Tariff Bill and Work Done in
Extra Session.

Washington. March 3-In the retr0s-
poet the Glst Congress- which will expire
by constitutional limitation at uooH to-
borrow. appears to have leeu di-tiu-
guished by three things: The revision OF
tie tariff In the sO-callod Payne Aiiricl
biil which was passed at an extra -cS-
sion in the summer Of 1901 the l'rse
amount Of important legislation. much of
it upon the recommendation Of President
Taft enacted at the regular So Do of
1870, ana the exceedingly small product
Of the short session." so-ca'led noN
coming to a close.
The interval between the LAST two ses-
sons vas marked by the political up

q iarac republican majority into sti,l
larger democratic majority in the House

majority in the Senate almost to The
vanishing point, and Incidentally effect

The failure Of this session To oract
much important legislation has resulted

end Congress viii be called almost inn

the matter of Legislation in the reg

at the present session tho majority
! has been anything but united. TIE

portion of democratic votes while In
the Senate the rift In the majority
between the REGULARS" and In ar

in its sidetrackng and IN the conse-
quent summonnE Of the extra session
To this division in the majority was
largely due the most dramatic feature
Of the previous long session, the pro-

spring which ended in material
changes in the rules of the House gen

the speaker" and which, after a bitter

ing one all-night struggle, stopped
only just short of the actual unseat-

acrimony between regulars and in

Taft Gave Up Hope for Reciproc-
ity--Extra Session Probably
March ID.
MAGAZINE POSTAGE AS EVER
Lorimer to Pay His Own Elk
penses-Peary Made Rear
Admiral-Parcels Post
Test Killed.

Washington, March 3.--With the virtual
certainty Of an early extra session of
Congress beclouding their horizon, both
Houses of Congress were in session at
late hour tonight grinding through
the mass or routine legislation which
must he completed before final adjourn
mcnt at noon tomorrow.
From the White House came late in
the day the admission that the Presi-
dent had abandoned all hope of the pass
age Of the Canadian reciprocity agree
mcut and awaited only the formal con
iirmation Of it's failure to ISSUE his call
for an extra session. IT was intimated
rather definitely that the date the Presi-
dent has in mind for the extra session
is March Is.
Two unexpected features marked the
evening. Both houses passed the bill to
give the rank and retired pay Of a rear
admiral and the thanks of Congress to
Robert T.. Peary.
The other unexpected episode was Sena-
tor Lorimer's motion to strike from the
general deficiency bill an appropriation of
S25, ooo to reimburse him for his expenses
in defending his title to a seat in the SEN
ate. This gave rise to an acrimonious de-
hate some senators who are members of
the appropriation committee more than in
timating that the item had been put in
the bill without the knowledge Of the
members Of the committee. The Senate
agreed to Senator Lorimers motion
During the day the Senate passed and
sent to the House four appropriation bills
carrying more than $500, 00O, 600 They were
the postoftiCe, naval. sundry civil and gen
eral deficiency appropriation bills. The
passage of the postofilce bin was marked
by the abandonment of the proposed in
crease of magazine postage, the substitu-
tion of provision for commission to
be appointed by the President to investi-
Postmaster-General HitchCock's plan for a
test of the parcels post

ed. United States Attorney Ward
has been asked to present charges
that have arisen out of the Richard
G. Morrison case to the present
grand jury, but it is not known
whether he will submit them at this
session. If ,Ie does, it is said that
he will ask indictments against
Frank M. Downer, superintendent
of the mint, and Morrison.
According to dispatches from
Washington, Downer has been there
in effort to stave off the investiga-
tion. The charges filed against him
are said to be of serious nature
and to include gross carelessness In
the management of the mint and
the violation of the civil service

YOUTH IS
HEID FOR
FORGERY
ARRESTED IN NEBRASKA RID
ING A STOLEN WHEEL
CLAIMS MONEY WAS DUE HIM
Alleged Crime was Committed Last
June at GrOver.-Bicycle
was Stolen Only = few
Weeks Ago.

After being wanted by the officers
aged 20, was arrested last Saturday
at Sydney. Neb.. by Deputy Sheriff
Peterson, who has been on the trail
of the prisoner for weeks. Boyer was
brought to the city and is being
held on the charge of forging a
cneck for 1872 and of stealing BIZ
cycle.
The alleged forgery was commit
ted last June when Boyer Is said to
have presented q check to E. b..
Franklin of Grover. signed by
man named Myers, for whom Boyer
had been working. 1t was later
found that the check had been
fraudently issued.
A search was instituted for the
young man who disappeared and
was not seen for weeks. Later 1t is
said. he was about Greeley and sew
eral weeks ago the theft of q wheel
was reported by q boy named Wag-
ner who works at the sugar factory.
1t is suspected that Boyer had taken
the wheel.
On Saturday 1t was learned by
the sheriff's office that young Boyer
had been seen at Sydney. Neb,
which is not far from Grover. where
the forgery was committed. Deputy
Sheriff Peterson started after the
wanted youth, taking chance on
finding him from the descriptions
he had. He rode into Sydney and
among the first persons he met was
Boyer riding the wheel that was
said to have been stolen. He arrest
ed Boyer and brought him to Gree
ley.
The prisoner claims that he was
entitled to the money in that Myers
owed him for work done and was
we'll able to pay, but refused to 40
so. He says he adopted the means
he did to get the money because ne
thought 1t was tho only way to
collect.

HAS GOT "SL|M"
BEAT A mile

Miss Gertrude Burk, of Chicago,
largest woman in the world, is visit
ing at the home of Mrs. n. w. Hayes
in New York. Miss Burk is ~
years of age, weighs S25 pounds,
stands 5 feet Z inches, and some OF
her measurements are: Arm, rs
inches; waise, 54; bust rs. She
wears No. " shoes and No. 7
gloves.
When she was born Miss Burk
weighed 15 pounds, and at eight
years of age weighed $50. At the
Hayes home she sits on two chairs
placed facing each other. Miss Burk
goes through doors by turning side
ways, and it is a pretty hard squeeze
at that.
Efforts have been made by show
men to get Miss Burk to exhibit her
self, but she has never been tempt
ed. Her parents left her an estate,
and she does not need the money.

CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints

You cannot be over careful ia the
selection OF medicine for cn4ldren.
Only the very gentlest bove medi-
cine should ever be given, except in
emergency cases. Ordinary pills,
cathartics and purgatives are apt to
do more harm than good. They may
cause gripping, nausea and other dis
tressing after-effects that are fire.
quently Notwithstanding.
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy,
which we know, for constipation
and associate bowel disorders. We
have such absolute faith in the
virtues of this remedy that we sell
it on our guarantee of money back
in every instance where it fails to
give entire satisfaction, and we
urge all in need OF such medicine
to try 1T at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten Just
like candy, are particularly prompt
and agreeable in action, may be
taken at any time, day or night; do
not cause diarrhoea, nausea, grip
ing, excessive looseness, or other
undesirable effects. They have q
very mild but positive action upon
the organs with which thev come in
contact, apparently acting as a reg
ulative tonic upon the relaxed mus
cular coat of the bowel, thus over
coming weakness, and aiding to re-
store the bowels to more vigorous
and healthy activity.
Re4all Orderlies commonly COM
pletely relieve constipation, except
or course when of a surgical char
acter. They also tend to overcome
the necessity of constantly taking
laxatives to keep the bowels in nor
mai condition. Three sizes of pack
ages, 10 cents, 25 cents. and so

that Mr. Davis is nearing MS Iour

"RE,D ROSE, FULLY BLOWN
HERE AT g. PER
LINES REVIVE OLD MEMORIES
Dances OF Every Sort Please Large
Audience That Demanded In
cores After ii O'CLOCK
Music Was Bing-Bang
Variety

Light opera at 50 per didn't stag
ger Greeley one bit. A crimpy night
failed to leave it's impress on the
box office nor did unfavorable press
notices in the Denver papers mater
ially affect the large audience that
gathered last Monday night TO see
"The Red Rose. musical comedy
in three acts. A couple of Smiths
of Florodora fame wrote the lines
and Robert Hood Bowers the music.
Those who listened critically
might have detected old FRIENDS in
the plot, situations and scenic eff
fects, and the dreamy waltz, so es-
sential to light opera since the ad-
vent of the Merry Widow, suggested
perhaps unintentionally, that very
opera.
But mercy, the grille girls were
on the job every minute when the
comedians were not vieing with
each other in the laugh prodding
exercises. They did everything a
chorus girl can do in public, from
the students glide in long trains,
to standing on their heads in green
tights under the spotlight
rather under the tights in the spot
light.
The music was chiefly the one-in-
-bar-allegro- con-fuco-con -spirito-
much -bingo variety, with intermis-
sions just about long enough to al
low the singers to get their second
wind-or whatever they sang with.
There were so many in the company
that it took the show three hours to
unwind itself Encores to the
dances were frequent, the older
parties in the house of the mascu-
line gender seemingly being united
in opinion regarding the capabilities
of the feminine eXponents OF Ter
psichore.
While the Red Rose could hardly
be called a leading exponent OF the
Great Moral Uplift, 1t pleased the
audience immensely.
