SENATE PASSES TARIFF BILL.
laFoIlette and Poindexter Finally
Vote For Democratic Measure.

Washington, Sept. s,-Refore the
senate four months to a day, the I'm.
derwood-Simmons tariff bill was pass
ed BY that body at $40 this evening
by vote Of "A to 81. Senators La
Toilette (rep.), and Poindexter (bull
lmooser), supported the bill On final
passage and Senators Ragsdell and
Thornton (dems.j, of Louisiana, vot.
ed against it, Senator Burleigh, Of
Maine, absent on account of illness
was not paired, the Democrats not
finding it convenient to make a pair.
Senator Gronna of North Dakota,
was paired on all amendments with
Senator j. Ham Lewis of Illinois, but
released that senator for the final
vote. So that Gronna stands in the
record as absent and not paired.
The first break in party solidarity
came when the name of La Toilette
was called. Without an attempt at
being demonstrative, but in a firm
voice the senator voted Aye The
occupants of the galleries broke out
in applause and vigorous handicap
ping. No effort was made to check
this outburst.
On the Democratic side of the
chamber, senators were unable to
conceal their jubilation at this acces-
sion to their support. The next
point Of interest was when the name
of Newlands, of Nevada, was called.
Despite the fact that the senator had
announced his Intention of voting
with his party, Newlands remained
silent when his name was called. A
moment later, after two other sena.
tors had responded, Newlands said
he had been paired by his colleague
during his absence as in favor of all
committee amendments and he now
desired to be recorded in faor of the
bill. Wild applause greeted the en-
nouncement.
When Senator Poindexter added
his vote to the Democratic column
the demonstration broke out again
in the galleries. The occupants o.
the gallery manifestly were in sym
pathy with the Democratic measure.
Secretary Tumulty. with twt
friends, sat in the presidential pew
and plainly showed his delight by
broad grin that Illuminated his usu
ally smiling countenance.

IRRIGATION PAID.

viii Stanley has some kaffir corn

the most skeptical that irrigation ia,
a big paying investment. The feed
at the present time is about seven
feet tall all over the field and the,
big heads of seed are forming nicely.
Mr.. Stanley has been irrlgatins
something over fifty acres, using q
centrifugal pump and getting the va

question but what he will realize
enormous returns on the investment

that it will yield at least ten tons Of
fine feed to the acre. He has a biz
cement silO that will hold 400 toRe
and as soon as the feed is In the
right condition it will be cut up and
picked away for winter use. He is
going to feed a lot of cattle this win,
ter and he silo and the irrigation to
gether are going to make him nice
piece of money.

MAKE A GOOD SEED CROP.

Dawson & Zutavern have a sam
pie of the alfalfa raised on their
farG north Of town on diskay in1ths
Citizens National Bank window, and
from the looks of the bunch they are
billed for fine crop of feed this
fall. The first two crops were cut
for feed and made a good yield and
tie third cutting was left for seed.
On account Of the continued dry
weather the seed has been setting
on heavily and the indications ara
that it will yield in the neighborhood
of five bushels per acre. All Of Il

means that they will realize about -

HOME BURNED.

The home Of H. A. Fisher, the
dairyman, about two miles north Of
the city, was totally destroyed by
tire on Monday morning of this week,
together with practically all Of its
contents. The fire started about 8
o'clock in the morning and its origin
is unknown. The fire department
from this city was notified and Chief
Fred Richardson with some of his as
sistants, hurried to the scene with
the chemical engine, but the fire
had secured such a start by this
time that it was impossible to save
anything. We understand that there
was a small amount Of insurance on
the building but none on the con-
tents. The house was a good two
story dwelling and the loss will be
considerable.

the committee that framed the meas.
ure, voted No. and then scrambled
to his feet in great haste to correct
his serious mistake.
With the passage Of the bill the
show was over and the galleries soon
cleared out. After a short executive
session and the official days work
