The Presidents pronunciamento.

Signs are multiplying that there may
he a fine old clash early between the
Republican President and the Demo-
cratic House of Representatives. The
President has already issued couple
of informal pronunciamentoes about
what he wished Congress to do at an
extra session. Down in the Southland
he averred that there was TO be little
else at the extra session in the way of
tariff beyond the enactment of the Ca
madam reciprocity bill. Democratic
leaders came right back at him with
the averment that there would be a
deal of tariff revision beyond the Cana
dian reciprocity bill. at least as far as
the House of Representatives is con-
cerned.
Then. whirling northward on his spe-
cial car, the President saw the news
paper correspondents travelling with
him, and authoritative word came forth
that while the President wanted certain
schedules revised, particularly the wool
schedules, which he has often declared
to be infamous, he did not propose it
should be done till after his Tariff
Board had Investigated fully and re-
ported. Authoritative word also came
forth that he would urge anew the en-
actment Of law for permanent Tariff

Ottumwa, April 1S.--A ruling made
by Judge c.. w Vermillon promises to
shorten up the time of hearing the
saloon petition matter at least few
days The ruling was brought about
when Senator Smith sought to intro
duce verbal testimony to identify one
of the persons signing the petition
but who had changed his place of resi-
dence between the time Of voting
and signing the petition.
Attorney G. l.. Gillies objected and
was sustained by the court who ruled
that the supreme court is plain
on the poll books being the means of
Identification. The court stated that
owing to there being a question as to
what constituted the poll lisT, he adj
mitted all of the election books but
would sustain the objection Of the drys
to verbal testimony for the purpose
Of Identification in the face of the gu
preme courts ruling.
There was little variation in the
character of the work Of this morn

the hearing. Challenges were some

seven challenges were made and
proved up during this mornings ses-

been made. The amount of time to

Dagobert revenged the stroke with a
lightning sweep of his saber. A terrific up
roar surged through the room. The Prus-
slams rushed to the window to meet the at
tack. The carbine spat at them, and the
abbs lunged with his bayonet. They gave
back, and the Frenchmen were upon them
like wild cats. Taken on both sides, they
yielded to panic and were pistoled and cut
down. A frenzied bowling, the unfettered
expression of elemental fury and blind in
sanity, doomed through the room, and to the
rafters, and out into the night-the deep,
quiet night which received and swallowed
that tumult in its serene and passionless
abysses.

taken from the Prussian dragon. As he
read, a low whistle of astonishment broke

ruminated.
"Yes, yes, that is the only way" he NUT

as evidence for Dagobert of what is clearly
treachery."
They approached the house again, holding
the ladder at each end. As they passed the
rigid body of the trooper the abbe perceived
the dead mans carbine on the ground, and
appropriated it.
SETTING the long ladder against the
- ironwork of the balcony, the franc tireur
climbed, and the woman came after him. A
stream of light issued through the undraped
windowpanes. The climber took prelimi-
nary glimpse, and, as the note had made him
half suspect, he saw his comrades and PruS-
slams sitting round the long table. The
room was illuminated by lamp and dozen
candles set into the necks of brandy bottles.
With the utmost caution he stepped over
the low protection to the balcony keeping
well out of sight, for the balcony extended
the entire side of the house. The woman
followed. She saw Celeste by tn side of the
German Commandant, and a fearful express
sion appeared in her wrinkled eyes.

and the total blackness out made it impossi-

took steady aim.

TRUE LOVE
BY ZOE HARTMAN

When first Chloe, I could O she
An inverted buhel basket on her head,
With bolt lace that aled both aft and FORE
And peck of chicken feathers lately she'd
And all of Chloe her ripe pouting lips;
For, you may well suppose,
Even Chloes saucy
Was in total and mysterious eclipse
Yet that spacious her beauty quite enhanced!
/ entranced!
And if Chloe had bushe baskets her head,
ravshed dead
When first Chloe, was taken quite aback,
And my heart with JOY and admiration beat,
Just such dazzling beauty navigating in a sack
With aso taut around her dainty feet
And when my Chloe hit the pike, twas d la Kangwn,

That she did it pgeontoed
With the bag ends floating round her fairy shoe
Yet that gunnysack her beauty quite enhanced
| entranced!
And il Chloe should decide her head,
sawbucks-Id adore dead!
