Expensive Horse Flesh.

Some three years ago, as our readers
will remember, Bert Miles of Riceville
sold racing mare, Penisa Maid, to M.
D. Shut of Rock Rapids, Iowa, for
what was then considered the big sum
of $l,5OO. Shut put the mare on the
grand circuit the next year and she
won for him in purses $4,000. Last
year not much was heard of her, but
few weeks ago she was sold to a
Winnipeg millionaire for $4,000. 1t
was pretty good investment for
Shuts 81, 500, and a considerable adj
vance over the original price of 5000
which Miles paid for her.-Le Roy In,

washington, June "a. - Inc sendte
agreed to vote next Monday on the
Root amendment to the wood pulp and
paper schedule of the reciprocity bill.
Chairman Penrose of the senate COM
mittee on finance said that the Cana
dian reciprocity bill will not fail by
reason of the new coalition between in.
surgent Republicans and Democrats,
which placed the regular Republicans
In the minority. Speaking OF that
coalition he said:
1T is a rope of sand and it will
not hold The performance Of the I'M

differences between the two elenenta

with the tariff question dumped
ip.o the senate In connection with reel
procity delay Is to be expected, but
in the end reciprocity will go through,
and it then will remain to be seen
what shall be done with the tariff bills
now before the senate and those yet
to be presented"
The outlook in the senate is for q
long and somewhat dreary period Of
debate with no visible prospect of re.
lief. Under present conditions. with
no party in control and no leadership
recognized, no one can say In advance
what is going to happen or when any:
thing may transpire out of the or
binary.
The reporting Of the free list bill
and the wooden bill adversely means
nothing more than that they are thrown
into the senate and that tho senate
may do as 1t plesses with them re-
CARELESS OF the committees recon.
mendation.
The eight majority members Of the
finance committee have no moro IN.
luence over the fate of the bills in
the senate than have any other sim.
liar number Of influential senators.
Their recommendation would not pre-
vent the passage Of the bills tomorrow
If other conditions were favorable.
Still, the members of the COMMITTEES
are conceded to have access to better
information than have other senators
and when Senator Penrose predicts
favorable action on the reciprocity bill
he voices what is unQuestionably the
predominating opinion of majority
of senators regarding the outlook for
the measure.
Even Democrats and insurgents
agree that the probabilities are favor
able to the success of the reciprocity
bill and q majority of the Democrats
are now unquestionably opposed to
any amendment OF 1t.
