STEEL BILL ON WAY
To THE PRESIDENT
Wool Measure to Follow Next
Monday; Sugar and Excise
Tax Come Next.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The com
promise wool bill agreed TO by the house
and senate, re-passed the house today
and will be taken up in the senate at
noon Monday. Senator La Follette
gave notice he would call it up at that
time and ask for immediate action
upon the conference report, in which
the two houses agreed to wool tariff
based on a raw wool duty of twenty
nine per cent.
The senate by close vote earlier
in the day acceded to the Democratic.
Progressive demand that the Canadian
reciprocity repeal amendment be drop
ped from the iron and steel tariff bill.
This action resulted in the re-passaQe
of that bill in the senate; and the meas
ure is now on its way to the presi.
dent.
Conferences will be held early next
week on the excise tax bill and the
Sugar tariff bill. On the former, an
agreement exists between the senate
Democrats and insurgents to indorse
the repeal Of all Of the Canadian reci-
procity law except the free print paper
provision now in force. It is expected
the house will meet this plan and adopt
compromise bill without delay.

departed early this morning from their
homes of many years do not go to join
the federals as fighting men, although
the Americans are carrying few rifles
hidden at the time of the rebel con-
fscation Of arms held by foreigners.
They merely believe, according to Jar
Wis, that The federal army will offer
better protection.

tanned 1900 Americans is deserted by
its inhabitants, the rich fields untitled
and the Americans homes occupied by
about 400 Mexican rebels, who have
taken possession Of them and every
thing left behind by the refugees. Jar

Do you know what we think is
the best story in the Bible? 1t
may surprise you but tits that
one about Noah and the flood.
We say this even in the face
of educated folks who turn up
their noses and say the good
story is a fake. You remember
that Noah had to work a long
time on the ark. 1t was up hill
business, too, at best, to go on
sweating and toiling day after
day under the hot sun, out there
on dry land, while the hammer
and anvil club sat splitting tobac-
co juice on his boards, whiting
up his soft pine boards with old
jack knives and telling him what
a fool he was to expect big rain
in a country that was too dry to
grow alfalfa. But he kept it
up. Finally the food came and
every mothers son of the croak-
ers was drowned. This is the
only instance we know of either
in sacred or profane history
where the knocker got exactly
what was coming to him.-Ex.
