CAT AND SQUIRREL
WERE FAST FRIENDS
Puss Insisted on Bringing Her New
Found Companion into House
Playing When Night Came.

Mrs. A. G. Arcand of 4 Clark street
had a rather amusing, as we'll as pc
cuiar, experience at her home one af-
ternoon this week, when her pet cat
attracted her attention to a red squir
rel sitting calmly on the top of the
curtain in the living room She i'm
mediately put the cat out of the room
and proceeded to get the squirrel down
from its perch and put it out of doors.
She had no sooner done this than the
eat came in carrying the squirrel in
its mouth, just a. carefully as a mother
eat carries her kittens, and quietly
put it down. Then the kitten and
squirrel began playing together.
Mrs. Arcand put the squirrel out
siy times, and each time the cat would
bring it into the house. She finally
gave up thinking that the squirrel
would sooner or later meet its fate,
and be devoured by its erstwhile
friend, but her expectations were not
realized and when evening came the
squirrel and eat were still playing in
the yard During the night the squir-
rel disappeared.

COUNSEL
LOST FIRST FIGHT
Court of impeachment Voted Unani-
mously i'll Favor Of -Four Senators
Who Were Challenged

NEW YORK, Sept. l9-Gov. Sui
zer : counsel lost the first fight in the
high court of impeachment today.
when four senators challenged by the
defense were permitted TO retain their
seats. The vote, which was on the
question OF whether the court should
entertain charges, was unanimously
against such procedure. The four
senators directly concerned were Fraw-
ley, Wagner, Ramsperger and Sanuer
They refrained from voting. Lmme-
diately following the vote, the read
ing of the long articles of impeach-
ment began. Although Presiding Judge
Cullen has the right to decide
the question of the qualifications of
senators for holding seats he did not
take advantage of this prerogative
He first expressed the opinion that the
charges We're not well founded, and
then permitted the entire court to vote
on the issue. The vote came after
long legal arguments had taken place
between Judges Herrick and Parker,
representing the defense and prosecu-
tion respectively.

on its way to the statute books at
Washington yesterday. BY vote of
2SG to 81, the House passed the bin

it was originally proposed. Three Dem

licans aud II Progressives joined with
the majority in voting for it. With
this overwhelming advantage in the
House and the Endorsement of Presi-
dent Wilson behind it, the measure
was sent over to the Senate There it
was referred to the banking and cur
rency committee, before which hear
iugs on the subject already are in
progress. The committee may not he

GOOD ATTRACTIONS
DURING THE FAIR
Manager Fox Of the Auditorium Has
Booked the Spring Maid for Two
Nights, also Bought and Paid For.

Better than ever is a phrase that
Is continually heard at Valley Fair
time, and Manager Fox Of the Audi
forum feels perfectly safe in applying it
TO the attractions which he has secured
for the three nights Of the fair The
delightful Nienese operetta The Spring
Maid, with a company of 80, has been
booked for Tuesday and Wednesday
nights, while the attraction Thursday
night viii be the famous Broadhust
drama, Bought and Paid For.
Tanefulness and cleanliness are two
Of the strong features OF The Spring
Maid. This bubbling operetta has
scored one OF the greatest triumphs of
recent years both in this country and
abroad. 1t has been enthusiastically
endorsed by music-lovers in every prom
lnent city in this country. Nearly ev-
rybody has heard Day Dreams, its Sc
ductive waltz number; Two Little Love
Bees, a delightful duet Of romance, and
Fountain Fay. These have been the
biggest sellers both in photographic
records and sheet music for the past
two wears.
No drama of recent times has re-
ceived so much favorable comment from
the newspapers as William 4 Brady 5
production Of George H. Broadhurst 5
masterpiece, Bought and PAID For. The
play Is a decided novelty i'm which.
without fear and with positive candor
1t presents a phase Of life heretofore
never presented on any stage Every

of redeeming in gold or lawful money
1t would place practically every
phase Of banking under the control of
Il federal reserve board of seven mem
bers to be appointed by the President
and a council Of bankers which would
have only advisory powers. The sys-
tenn would be administered through the
the reserve banks, situated in - geo
graphical divisions of the country,
capitalized at about $4,000, 900, which
capital must be subscribed by the
banks i'm the reserve district. At the 1th
hour the House wrote into the bill a
disclaimer Of any intention to alter the
gold money standard fixed by law.
Ten days of earnest consideration in
the House failed to alter the bill in
any material particular, and it passed
virtually as drawn by Representative
Glass of Virginia, chairman Of the
House banking and currency commit
tee, after conferences with Senator
Owen, chairman of the Senate com
mittee; Secretary McAdoo of the treas
ury department, and the President
Throughout the debate Republicans
and Progressives vigorously denounced
the methods employed by the Demo
crats in framing the bill and in pre-
fecting it's details in caucus. The Dem
ocratic lines held firm, however, and
no minority amendments Were adopted,
