j. c. Newton, one of the mos {
successful farmers of this county.
VINO farms in the northeast part
OF the county, was here the last
of last week, and brought in
$50 pounds Of broom corn which
he skipped to the Haskel Broom
Factory, for which we understand
he received 5000 per ton.
Broom corn will grow in this
country, and it will make with
as little rain as any of the forage
crops Of this section, and when
a person is fixed for raising il
and has a market handy enough
that he does not have 10 spend
too much time in fixing it up for
shipment, there is money in the
crop. We hope that others will
plant a good deal Of this forage
next year, and raise enough to
Justify a broom factory at this
place.

Hepburn Discusses Threat to
Call Extra Session.

Washington, Feb 17-That the sen.

unresentful while it is being accused
of Grimes blacker than those which
occupy the attention of the criminal
courts" was asserted in that body by
Senator Hepburn. The Idaho senator's S
resentment was aroused by the publ
cation of an article in local newspa
per saying that only by making il
plain that he would call an extra ses
sion of congress could the president
compel the senate to pass the Cana
dian reciprocity bill.
"A charge that any member of this
body could be influenced by the crack
of the whip by someone else is a
charge of cowardice," said Mr. Hey
burn, (which could not be made with
out resentment by any one who him.
self was not a coward when they
charge that any coordinate branch OF
the government can compel another

it would act, they charge corruption

ruption and cowardice against those
being influenced. Can we sit silent
under such charges affecting the dig
nifty and honor of the senate?"

COMMITTEE MAKES REPORT
Alleges Graft In Pittsburg Public

Pittsburg. Feb. 1.-THE biggest
graft prosecution in Pittsburg's his
tory is believed to be impending fol-
lowing the executive committees re-
port to the voters league of an inves-
tigation of the public schools system.
The graft is alleged to extend to
every feature of the school system,
from erection of buildings to the EN-
ployment of teachers and janitors and
the conduct of school picnics, says the
report.
1t was the intention of the league
to prosecute the offenders, but the
evidence showed the crookedness so
widespread as to clog the law ma
chinery. The league decided that its
report should be published as a
warning. If this has not the effect
of changing the methods of the school
board arrests will follow.

With President.
HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL

Even When Measure Reaches the Sen
ate II Will Be Fought Bitterly by
Standpatters and by Some of the
Progressives, Who May Attempt to
Kill It by Loading 1t Down With
Amendments.
Washington, Feb. 17.-President
Taft has begun twisting the thumb
screws on the anti-reciprocity sena-
tors and he got immediate results. He
exacted a promise from those in
charge of the bill that it would be re.
promptness and unamended. Senator
Burrows promised to call meeting of
the finance committee at once.
Opposition senators are giving
ground gradually.
They have promised the president to
report the bill, but they have coupled
with this pledge warning that they
will vote against it on the floor and
that it is useless to expect it to be
ratified
President Taft sent for Senators
Burrows, Lodge and Smoot, all mem.
bers of the finance committee that has
the bill in charge. Senator Root also
was present, although he is not a
member of the committee. The presi-
dent had the senators on the grill for
nearly an hour. They left the White
house with their flags trailing. Sena'
tor Smoot, as the spokesman for the
senators, said that everybody had
agreed that it would be bad politics
for the members of the committee to
attempt to smother the agreement in
the committee.

said Senator Smoot, "but | am willing
that it shall be thrown into the sen
ate for general discussion"

"Do you believe it will be ratified al

The arrangement is to have Senator

He is bitterly opposed to it, The pact

RUSSIA TO MAKE
DEMONSTRATION

Chinese Empire.
POWERS ARE NOTIFIED

Cars Government Informs Great Brit

Intention to Send Military Forces to
the Russo-Chinese Frontier, but the
Extent of the Movement viii De.
pend on the Attitude of China.
London, Feb 1.-THE relations OF
Russia and China are strained to the
breaking point.
Russia has notified the governments
of Great Britain, France and Germany
of her intention to make a military
demonstration on the Russo-Chinese
frontier owing to China's persistent
violation of the st. Petersburg treaty
of 1881.
Russian troops will be sent forth
with to the district of Iii.
The extent of the demonstration, il
is added in the diplomatic note, will
depend entirely upon the attitude as
sumed by China.
The vital questions involved are free
trade in Mongolia, the eXtraterritorial
rights of Russia in China and the es
tablishment of a Russian consulate al
Koebdo, Mongolia.
Trouble of Long Standing.
There has been rumors recently OF
an intention by Russia to bring pres
sure to bear upon China because OF
alleged violations of the Russo-Chinese
treaty. That the situation was acute
however, has been denied both by the
Chinese foreign board and the Rus
sian legation at Peking.
1t has been admitted that there were
differences of the interpretations oi
the international agreement as made
at st. Petersburg and at Peking. The
treaty adopted in 1881 expires this
month and it has been reported that
China was unwilling to renew it, al
least not until certain notifications
had been made. The exchanges have
been closely guarded by both powers
and what stage the negotiations have
reached was not indicated until
Wednesday when the ST. Petersburg
Gazette announced that an important
conference had been held at the wal
ministry TO consider "China's per
sistent tiouting of treaty stipulations.'

LIVE IN COMPLETE ISOLATION
Outside World Practically Unknown to
the DWelIers in the Land
of Moab.

Most travellers who visit the Holy
Land content themselves with a visit
to that restricted part west of Jordan.
The mountainous regions of Moab, as
seen by them from Jerusalem, are lost
IN the purple haze that constantly
hangs over them, and the great
stretches beyond are covered in mys-
terry This is true partly because of
the fewer historical incidents connect
ed with the eastern regions, but main
ly on account of the great abyss of
the Jordan valley that has always act
ed as a barrier. Few who descend into
the valley, 1900 feet below sea level,
undertake to climb the hills beyond,
which rise to height of 5000 feet.
The most striking thing about Moab
has always been it's isolation. How.
ever much connected by race and VI
clnity with their western kinsmen, the
jewellers in Eastern Palestine have al.
ways been distinct and their lands
nave never been occupied by the ma
tions on the west except through acts
OF aggression and conquest.
Even today this isolation is still felt.
In giving an idea of their knowledge of
present day geography, one of them re-
marked: There are only four seas in
the world, two of which are the Dead
sea and the Sea of Galilee." both of
these are in sight of their own hilla-

and almost before he realized it Keith
was himself at the waters edge where
the trail abruptly ended, staring
vaguely across toward the opposite
shore. Even as he stood there, real
izing the futility of further pursuit
amid the maze of sand dunes opposite,
the sharp reports of two rifles reach
ed him, spurts of smoke rose from the
farther bank, and a bullet chugged
into the ground at his feet, while an
other sang shrilly overhead
These shots, although neither came
sufficiently near to be alarming, serv-
ed to send Keith to cover Coolhead-
ed and alert now, his first mad rage
dissipated, he scanned the opposite
bank cautiously, but could nowhere
discover any evidence Of life. Little
by little he comprehended the situa-
ton, and decided upon his own &C.
ton. The fugitives were aware of his
presence. and would prevent his
crossing the stream, yet they were
not at all liable to return to this side
and thus reveal their identity. To
attempt any further advance would be
madness, but he felt perfectly secure
from molestation SO long as he re-
NAMED quietly on the north shore
Those shots were merely a warning
to keep back; the very fact that the
men firing kept concealed was proof
positive that they simply wished to be
left alone. They were not afraid of
what he knew now, only DESTROYS of

Not Sufficiently Eauer,

A little miss of five years was under
the ban of disobedience She had been
told to put away her playthings, as it
was near bedtime. She did not obey
the command, and, when forced to do
so, gave way to petulant display OF
temper Her father, who was up
stairs, heard the commotion, and, be-
ing made acquainted with the cause,
summoned the child to his presence.
Irma started to the stairs, but sud-
denly made a turn, dashed along the
hall, and out of the house. OF course
she was soon captured, but her excite
ment was SO great that she was put to
bed at once. Mothers efforts soothed
the child and then she was asked:
why did you run away when your
father called you?" The reply came
promptly enough: "You don't sup
pose, mamma, that 1 wanted whip
ping bad enough to go upstairs after
it,"
