Democrats really reduce the taxes

EXPLOSION WAS AN ACCIDENT.
But Arrests Are Being Made fog
Investigation.

Palma, Dec. 27.-As a result OF
an explosion which occurred Just
after President Taft had passed
through here, a large number of
arrests have been made. The auth
critics, however. are inclined to be-
lieve that the explosion was an ac-
,cident and nothing premeditated.
Arrests are being made all day,
however.
One man was badly hurt. A kiosk
standing nearby, was blown fifty
feet away.
There have been numerous threats
made against Americans since the
canal strip was taken away from
Panama.
President Taft completed HIS In
spection Of the canal this morning
and everything Is now in readiness
for the departure Of the president
for home tonight.

Herington, Dec. 2S.-The veal
1919 has much of promise to Her

this time, the farmer was indeed
lucky who knew that he had suffi'
Gent feed to last his stock through
the winter. This winter the farm
ers are much better prepared &c
handle their stock and the wnea'
shows a better stand than a year
aoo although the acreage is not 90
large.
The Harrington merchants nave
had a splendid holiday trade, some
Of them having broken a record OF
wears. and they anticipate good
steady trade through the winter.
Harrington will probably see more
building the coming year than TOT
q long time. About January 10 the
Christian church will issue cali
for bids for $4,000 church and
the Eagles lodge is having plans ana
snacifications made for fine home.
In addition to these buildings CON
tractors say that q number OF citl-
Gems contemplate the erection OF
residences in the spring and sum-
mar All of which means that Her

was informed, were anxious that the
interval between the two sessions
of congress be as brief as possible.
When the conference was over,
Mr.. Wilson said the talk had been
"along universal lines" legislation
as we'll as cabinet possibilities being
taken up. He added that they had
discussed the general character Of
the extra session" and the prepar-
edness Of legislation to come before
IL. 1
eve both agreed thatt the tariff
should be the main interest Of the
extra session." said the governor.
~ asked the. speaker for his
opinion as to several names" said
Mr.. Wilson, "and the names we did
mention he went over in a very
judicial way. He has had so much
experience, and knew he could
tell me some things about the pub
lie men that would otherwise not
be able to get. chiefly as to their
experience"
Both the speaker and Governor
Wilson said Mr.. Bryan's name had
not been mentioned in the confer
ence.
When the newspaper men ap-
preached the speaker he declined
to give out any information as to
his talk with the governor. They
pressed him, however, as to wheth-
er Mr.. Bryan had been discussed.
mo" answered the speaker. "I'll
give you that much information
he. was not"
When he was Intercepted later
about Mr.. Bryan, the speaker said
plainly that he did not like to be
interviewed about the Nebraskan.
81 am not going to talk about
him." he said, emphaticallyN you
can mark that down. and there is
no use to talk about it. don't want
to seem unkind or discourteous but
there are some things will do and
some that / won't. This is one of
the things I will not do"
Governor Wilson declared his
talk with Mr., Clark was very cor
dial.
HE has always has the most gen.
erous and cordial attitude said the
president-elect of his visitor.
After a conference with Mr.. I'm
derwood next Tuesday the presi-
dent-elect said he expected to re-
ceive many members of congress by
appointment.
I'm all these conferences, said
Mr.. Wilson, 1--WE do not discuss spe-
cific things so much; but try to
get as much counsel as / can with
