There are probably sounds in nature
too acute to be distinguished by the
human ear which may, however, be
perfectly clear to the auditory sense of
other members of the animal kingdom.
1t has been claimed that ants have
the most perfect sound-producing or
gans that have yet been discovered in
insects, says Harper's Weekly. These
are situated upon certain segments Of
the abdomen, the sounds being pro-
duced by rubbing. But nobody has ever
heard these ant voices, although many
authorities are convinced of their ex-
istence. An attempt was made to hear
them with the aid of the microphone,
but the only sound detected was that
made by the crawling of the ants.

Washington.-The Hay army reor-

regiments Of cavalry, providing for
five-year enlistments and the consoli-

is taken as the record vote.
When the measure came up before
the house separate votes were called
on the cavalry amendment and the
five-year enlistment provision. The
cavalry amendment was adopted by a
vote of 166 to 112 and the fve-year en-
listment provision by vote of 146 to

1t is not in It's reasonable and legiti-
mate use that the aeroplane is an ex-
tremely dangerous vehicle. The flight
of Rodgers across the continent shows
this, just as the lesser flight of At
wood from Chicago to New York show
ed it and as other distance flying in
this country and Europe has shown it.
1t is the performing of circus stunts"
at exhibitions that has caused the long
death roll of aeroplaning. It's victims
have been for the most part out for
altitude records or have been fitting
their machines almost edgewise up
aloft before gaping multitudes, where
each aviator goes into the air with
the determination to Guido the one
who has just descended in the per-
'formance of thrilling feats. Those who
have done simple flying with the OBJ
ject of getting somewhere, making
safety and not sensationalism a prime
consideration, are not generally num-
bered among aviation's dead.

Chicago.-Five Chicago murderers
were hung in the Cook county jail
here. This Is the first time in the his
tory of the county that SO many were
executed at the same time.
Among those executed was Thomas
Jennings, a negro, the first slayer IN
criminal history ever arrested, con-
victed and executed on the evidence
of his own finger prints. The others
who suffered death were Frank ana
Ewald Shiblawski, Philip Sommerl1ng
and Thomas Schultz, convicted of slay-
ing Fred w. Guelzow, Jr., a truck
farmer They kept up bold front to
the very day Of death. They made
showing of bravado and joked with
their visitors.
Members of the clergy remained
with each man until the last. They
took part in the death march and re-
NAMED on the gallows during the exc
cutions.
All of the executions were conclud-
ed within an hour.
Governor Deneen, on the recon-
mendation of the board Of pardons,
refused to commute the sentences of
the quartette of slayers. Great efforts
on the part of many prominent per-

the West side, were made to have the
sentences of Thomas Schultz and

TON IN STEPHENSON ELEc-
TON is PROVED.
DEMAND VACATION OF SEAT
Committee Composed of Three Repub-
Iicans and Two Democrats, De-
clare Evidence Showed Conclusive
ly Voters Were Paid.

Washington. - Declaring that to
give United States Senator Stephen
son of Wisconsin a clear right to his
seat, is Ito notify the world that we
are careless as to whether seats in
this body are to be bought and sold
as SO much merchandise to the man
with the largest purse" five senators
presented a minority report against
Stephenson and brought squarely be-
fore the senate the issue of his re-
election.
The minority report is signed by
Senators Kenyon, Clapp and Jones,
Republicans, Lea and Kern, Demo
Gratis. 1t contends that enough EVIL
dence was adduced by the inquiry to
warrant the senate in declaring Sen
ator Stephenson's seat vacant.
Referring to the fact that the sena-
tor through his lieutenant spent $lO7,-
1893 in his campaign and that candl-
dates for the state legislature spent
proportionately large sums, the report
quotes from the majority report:
Such expenditures were in viola
ton Of the fundamental principles IN
derlying our system of government.
which contemplated the selection or
candidates by the electors and not oy
the selection of electors by the can
didates."
Quoting again from the majority re-
port, which after summarizing the
election, declared that If they had
been used by a candidate for state
office in Wisconsin sit would be diff
cult to justify such conduct under the
laws of the state" the minority re-
port continues:
This statement we indorse. 1t
warrants our opposition to the conclu-
sion of the majority. If it would be
difficult to justify a campaign like THIS
by q candidate for state office why
is 1t not equally difficult to justify 1t
on the part of Senator Stephenson
He was not compelled to go into the
primary. He elected to do so and ne
should be held to the same degree OF
accountability as any other candidate
in that primary.
eff ne used methods-and the ma
jority says he did-that 1t would be
difficult to justify in behalf Of a state
candidate, then it is equally difficult
for the senate to justify such conduct
on the part of candidate for seat
in this body and preserve It's integ'
rity and honor. In our Judgment II
cannot do It,"
call this is admitted" says the re-
port, "and we feel that we have right
to assume from these admitted facts
and actions that corrupt methods ana
practices were used in connection
with said primary election. To hold
otherwise is to establish precedent
that would authorize an expenditure
of hundreds of thousands of dollars 70
debauch the electorate to secure a
seat in this body To do this is to
notify the world that we are careless
as to whether seats in this body are
to be bought and sold as so much mer'
chandise to the man with the largess
purse"

cure farmers to raise beets, but nov
they have learned the value of thi

to devote ground for this purpose

beet raising is the fact that the so

found profitable, however, to rotat

LAW OF INITIATIVE UPHELD
U. S. Supreme Court Holds only Con-
qress Can Change Referendum
Statute of Oregon.

Washington. cause Of direct
Hesitation by the people won a de-
cisive victory here when the Supreme
court declared constitutional by i'm
plication the initiative and referen-
dunn amendment to the Oregon consti-
tuition. 1t refused to take jurisdiction
of the test suits contesting validity
of the legislation. Many states IN
which agitation for direct legislation
is before the people are affected by
the decision. Oregon's courts have
declared constitutional the initiative
and referendum, in two cases heard.
One was brought by the Pacific
Coast Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany. which refused to pay tax OF
two per cent. on its annual gross re-
ceipts, provided by law adopted by
the people under the direct legisla-
tion amendment 1t held that the ini-
tiative and referendum were repug-
nant to the federal Constitution.
Justice White delivered the opin-
ion
"The issues are political and gov
ernmental, and not therefore within
the reach of judicial power" he said.
cit follows that the case presented Is
not within our jurisdiction, and the
writ of error must therefore be and it
Is dismissed for want to Jurisdiction"
The decision was unanimous, and
leaves the Oregon laws in free and
antrammeled operation until some
hindering action is taken, If at all, by
the national congress.
