HOUND 4 METEOR.

Marmarth, N. D., July1.-Conduct-
or Hicks of the Milwaukee road, who
runs west out Of here, has in his
possession a meteor, which ne dug
out of the ground at Plevna, Mont.
His train was on the siding when he
saw a brilliant light and saw a met
cor strike the ground near the train.
He rushed out to the spot immediat-
ly and found the freshly disturbed
earth AID dug the meteor out. The
meteor has the appearance Of a lump
of quartz and seems to have been
fused by excessive heat. It is about
eleven inches in diameter and had
buried itself about eighteen inches
IN the earth by the force with which
it struck. 1t hit the ground immed-
lately between two railroad ties, both
of which we're battered up and the
force of the meteor was checked BY
the resistance Of the wood. He re-
CARDS his find as a valuable relic
and refuses to dispose of it. A large
number Of people have inspected the
rock.

Chairman Hinebaugh Of the Bull
Moose Congressional Campaign com
mittee announces an energetic fight
for Connecticut. The tariff will be
the issue. Voters will be reminded
Of the failure Of the Republicans In
1909 to revise the tariff downward as
promised.
Says MI. Hinebaugh in an inter.
view: "Under the leadership Of AL
drich the Republicans made a miser-
able failure and did not redeem their
promise to the people. As a result, a
large part Of the Republican states
sent Democratic Congressman to
Washington in 1910"
In introducing Mr.. Aldrich into the
equation, Mr.. H'nebaugh does not
quote sufficiently from the record. The
Rhode islander was a very active and
influential man in the matter of the
tariff before 1909. In fact, his activ-
ity and influence caused the inactiv-
ity Of the Republican party on tariff
revision for the whole eight years
the lengthSof two presidential terms
between 1901 and 1908. But for him
the Dingley law would have been re.
vised in time to prevent the compli.
cations and difficulties which existed
when revision finally was undertaken.
1t so happens, too, that the national
leader Of the Bull Moose party-then
the leader Of the Republican party
occupied the White House the whole
Of that time. 1t was through him that
Mr.. Aldrich acted. Mr.. Roosevelt had
promised upon taking Office to carry
out Mr.. McKinley's policies, the prin-
cipal one of which was tariff revision.
In his last public u~tterance Mr.. Nc
Kinley had pointed out the necessity
for, and had urged new tariff sched-
uies to meet the prosperous cOndt-
lions which the Dingley law had pro-
duced.
In obedience to his promise, and rec
ognizing the public sentiment that
existed. Mr.. Roose cit in an annual
message announced an early recon-
mendation on the subject. But before
the message was sent to Congress
the paragraph relating to the tariff
was stricken out, and Mr.. Roosevelt
did not again take up the subject in
any way. He did not again even
promise action and then cancel the
promise. He simply let the tariff slide.
In the gossip Of that day-widely
circulated and accepted-Mr. Aldrich
was credited with influencing Mr..
Roosevelt in the business. He was a
tariff authority. the Republican leader
Of the Senate, a frequent caller at the
White House, and an adviser on party
matters in general.

Colonel Parke began an active mill

AS a second lieutenant he served at
various Western posts, and IN the
later sos was assigned to the Rose.

until late the next year Colonel
Parke was in the thick Of that mem.

for Cuba. His regiment, the 21st
Infantry, was before Santiago and
was n Of the first American regi-

During the remainder Of the Cuban
campaign Colonel Parke saw much
service, and at the close of the war
was promoted to the grade of cap

align the 21st was sent to the is.
lands, and altogether Colonel Parke
spent three tours in the Philippines.
He distinguished himself during the
~insurrection Of 1%899-19O3. and at the
end of the campaign was made q
