been condemned for mildew by the
agricultural commissioner office
and are being hoed out at once,
states B. A. Harrigan, agricultural
commissioner.
The present windy weather is do

of mildew but because the young
melons are being blown about,
causing injuries.
Hay growers are suffering as 1t

wind and the grain growers are
experiencing considerable loss of
grain due to shattering resulting

Tornadoes, electrical storms and
wind-driven snow brought death

A late spring snowstorm whipped
across Wisconsin. Five inches of
snow covered the ground at La
Cross today and it still was snow
Aing. The storm amounted almost
to a blizzard as it swept toward
Lake Michigan borne on 40-mile
wind and with the temperature be-
low freezing.
Meanwhile torrential rains sent
rivers to near the flood stage in
Indiana and Illinois. Both the Wa
bash and White rivers in Indiana

(SpeciaD-The papers said today,

the Oldest news I have seen in a
long time.
Through habit of the last few
administrations of the U. S.
Chamber of Commerce, is sup
posed to be welded Tin an ad-
visory capacity to each Presi-

was never consummated, it was
an unhappy alliance on both
sides from the start. And the
break didn't come in the last day
or so, incompatibility developed
as early as March 4th, 1888. Both
are headstrong and used to run

Either they are too lazy to walk to
the attorney generals office or they
are not possessed Of intelligence

ifications Of citizenship.
It Is uncomfortable to me that the
people Of North Dakota have been
hoodwinked and blinded into sending
60 or more men to the house Of rep
resentatives who are either incom-
petent to hold office or just plain

they find themselves involved. Honor

face the missiles Of their fellows fol
daring to be men.
The sooner the people of North

CHARACTER ASSASSINATION
Bismarck, N. D.,
Jan. l9, 1885.

Editor. Tribune:
People can forgive political homicide
but character assassination never.
Vile rumors have been spread the
past few days In Bismarck about
Thomas H. Noodle. man who proves
himself more man as the days pass.
There is no doubt in the minds Of
any straight thinking citizen as to
where the rumors are originating.
Any man or woman who has lived in
Bismarck for long well knows that po-
iitical element which will stop 1t
nothing to destroy an opponent
Decency, respect and honor are
strange words to this class.
But puzzling is the snake-like hyp-
rotism with which ordinarily decent,
right thinking and right-acting rep
resentativeS continue to be entranced
by the chickering's Of political ghouls.
II press reports are accurate, and
believe them to be despite the drool-
ings Of The Leader. Mr.. Noodle has
produced proofs Of his citizenship
satisfactory to the supreme court, the
attorney genera. and attorneys In
volved in both sides Of his Qualifica-
ton wrangle.
I do not know whether or not Mr..
Noodle meets governorship qualifica-
tons, but am content he meets citi-
.enship requirements.
And yet we have the spectacle OF

call them quibblers) apparently deaf

WORK RELIEF BILL
CHALLENGES POWER
OF ADMINISTRATION
Plan to Rush Measure Through
House Under Gag Rule
Meets Obstacles

Washington. Jan. 22.-R The
Roosevelt administrators control
over the 74th congress faced It's first
major challenge Tuesday after q plan
to rush a $4.880, O000 900 works.relief
measure through the house under
gag" rule struck unexpected ohstac-
les.
The measure was already one day
behind its fast schedule because in
surgent Democrats on the house rules
committee had declined to agree to
passage under iron rules limiting de-
bate and amendments. There were
indications that compromise might
result.
After secret conference, Repub-
licans under the leadership Of Rep.
Smell (Rep. N. " produced q plan to
scrap the administration measure
which would give the president the ~
$50. 900 900 in lump sum- with dis
erection as to how 1t should be spent.
Declaring congress would be giving
away its power by delegating such
authority to the president, the Re-
publicans proposed substitute. The
chief feature of this, they said, aims
at keeping the government out Of
competition with private business.
Each state would be given pro rata
share Of the appropriations, to be
spent only through private contrac-
tors in the ADMINISTRATORS announced
drive to transfer $500, 900 people from
the dole" to Jobs.
Speaker Byrns sought Tuesday to
bring the rules committee around to
the administration view so the meas
ure could go through the house We'd
1lesday. Under the original schedule,
1t was to have passed Tuesday.
Though Byrns was silent, some
other leaders expressed fear that II
1t were brought up without drastic
curbs, the administration lump
sum" idea would be wrecked under .
rush OF "log- rolling" designed to ear
mark sums for legislators home dis
tricts.
Smell spoke Of unprecedented dele
cation Of power to the executive"
Among other provisions, the measure
would empower the president to abol-
ish or consolidate government agencies
make regulations providing for fines
of 5000 and two years In jail II vio-
lated, obtain real or personal prop
erty by eminent domain.
