Loses Wallet il, y,
Canada; Gets II

An unusual incident Of recovering
lost property. that was lost in such an
uninhabited place that there was little
chance Of it ever being found, was told
a few days ago in this city by DR.. r. d.
Kellogg, Of Sioux City, when he slipped
here for a short visit with his brother,
DR.. L. F. Kellogg. After the lapse Of
almost a year, DR.. Kellogg has recov-
cred 800 in money, diamond stud
worth 500. and a Masonic past grand
masters jewel that he priced more than
either the money or the diamond.
These valuable were in wallet that
lay under the snow of Saskatchewan
province, Canada, all last winter.
Last summer DR.. Kellogg, his brother,
DR.. l.. F. Kellogg, of this city, and a
party Of others. several Of whom were
from here. were in Saskatchewan on
land seeking trip. While driving across
the prairie, far from any dwelling or
town. DR.. r. D. Kellogg, got out of the
vehicle to examine a section corner
stake. While doing so the wallet
dropped out of his pocket. He did not
discover his loss until later. and altho
he went back over the trail over which
he had come, he did not find the valu-
ables.
A short time ago DIR. Kellogg re-
ceived letter from a man in Sas-
katchewan. saying that he had found a
wallet with DR.. r. D. Kellogg's name in
it and 500 in money and a diamond
stud. The writer said if DR.. Kellogg
would describe the rest of the property
in the wallet he would send it to him.
This DR.. Kellogg did in his answer, but
he added that the finder was welcome
to keep the money for a reward. But
the wallet. money, diamond. jewel and
all were returned in due time to Dr.
Kellogg.
Wanting to reward the honest man
who found the wallet. DR.. Kellogg pur-
chased valuable gold watch and. after
having engraved on it an expression Of
his appreciation for an honest man,
sent it to the finder Of the wallet.

MISSED HIS CHANCE.

No one will blame Governor Goldsborough
for appointing Republican to succeed Senator
Rayner to represent Maryland in the upper
branch of congress, but he would have shown
himself bigger man had he named progress
sive Republican at least. The country has de-
clored for tariff revision. Maryland declared
for it by a majority vote for Wilson over that
for Taft and Roosevelt combined. Goldsbor-
ough was elected as Republican. but he was
expected to serve as Marylander. Maryland
and the country wanted Democrat, or, at the
very least, a progressive Republican, and he
gives them a standpatter to take the place of
the revisionist who has just died. No great
blame should be given him, but all praise
should be denied him. He has proven himself
a good Republican and has done no more than
exercise his prerogative, but he has failed to
prove himself big man.
There is talk of an extra session of the legis-
lature to select successor to Senator Rayner.
The governors appointment, we take 1t, holds
good until the legislature chooses a successor to
the late senator. Should the Democratic lead
ers call the legislature together at this time,
while they control it, and elect a Democrat to
the seat in the senate, they would prove them
selves as good party men as has the governor,
and would at the same time put the kind of
man in congress that Maryland and the rest of
the country want.

FICTION AND TRUTH.

From the point of view OF such newspapers
rs the New York Press, which regard the con-
summation of Colonel Roosevelt's ambitious
plans as superior In Importance TO everything
else 1t may seem legitimate to work for dissen-
sion within the Democratic party and to seek
to make that party's administration a failure,
but even follower of Colonel Roosevelt would
justifiable.
Daily the Press has what purports to be a
news story It's front page. At first Demo-
cratic leaders undertook to deny the misstate-
ments contained therein, but have now reached
the conclusion that to attempt to deny them all
would mean giving up to the work twenty-four
hours in the day 1nasmuch as the circulation
and the reputation of the Press for telling the
truth are both limited and the credulity Of the
public has been over-estimated, It has been de-
cided to give the calf sufficient rope to hang
itself
When the Press deliberately makes issue
Of veracity between itself and Woodrow Will
son IL has demonstrated that its lack of con-
common sense. This issue 1t has raised re-
peatedly, and II there be any which will believe
the Press In preference to Wilson, 1t Is because
| they do not wish to believe Wilson anyhow and
| IL is time wasted to attempt to prove anything

SECTIONS IN CONGRESS.

One of the results of the recent election was
TO take control of the Democratic party from
the Southern congressman. Northern Demo-
Gratis outnumber Southern Democrats in the
house, and ON joint ballot the two sections are
on equal terms, one having ITO members and
the other III.
In house caucus, should sectional lines be
drawn, the Northern Democrats would dom-
nate, having az members in the house against
t40 Southerners. In the Senate the Southern
Democrats have the majority. with thirty-one
Should Illinois send Democrat to the senate.
the membership on joint ballot would be equal
ly divided.
These figures show the growth OF the DEM
ocratic party In the North. For the first time
In the history OF the United States. probably.
the party is as strong in the number of repre-
sentatives in congress as the South. The in
crease in the Democratic membership in the
senate from the North has been slower than in
the house, as the members of the lower branch
are elected every two years, and the recent
landslide elected large number of Democrats.
Change in the senate is made more slowly, but
it is not improbable that before the end of Will
sons administration that the Northern Demo-
Gratis will increase the number of seats held by
them in the senate.
While the Northern Democrats in the house
lout-number those from the South, their power
IS not In proportion to numbers. as the South
ern members control practically all the impor-
tant zehsirmafnships, and will have greater
power in preparing the legislative program.
