NUMBER 66
New England
Tariff Bill
West and South Pay Tri-
bute To Eastern
Manufacturers
Washington V. C March 18. The
tariff Mil Introduced In congress yes-
terday 1 strictly a New Lug land bill.
From whatever standpoint It Is consld-
red the Inevitable conclusfa 1 that
It is framed for the advantage of the
manufacturers.
The West and South will find no
benefit In the schedules. The Demo-
cratic sections that clamored for a
tariff revision downward and forced
the Republicans to act have been
chasttrcd by the Republicans.
The .products of the farm he dls-
criminated against and the South es-
pecially suffers. Hides are placed on
the free list duties on wool are re-
duced cotton seed oil Is on the free
list and products of the live stock In-
dustries are restricted In foreign mar-
kets. And hl'e '.t la true that the
tariff on manufactured articles Is In
a great many cases reduced It Is
not at all In proportion to the reduc-
tion on the raw materials.
The reduction In Iron ores Is of such
a nature as will hurt the Independent
operators of the south but not the
steel trust.
The demand of the West that lumber
be placed on the free list was not heed-
ed though a iut of about 60 per cent
w as made.
Placing raw materials which are pro-
duced In the South and West on the
free list only makes those materials
cheaper to the manufacturers who will
sell his protected wares no cheaper
thus the farmer get? less for his prod-
ucts and pays the same for the same
product manufactured that he does

Death Angel Claims
One of Little Twins
Little rat the 2-year-old sou of Mr.
and Mrs. F. L. Slush r died last night
at Fort Madison. Iowa where the fam-
ily have been visiting the past few
weeks Ben Johnson received a tele-
gram from Mr. Slusher this morning
conveying the sad news and saying
that the family will arrive in Chlcka-
ha Friday on the Koek Island. Funer-
al arrangements will not be announced
till they come.
The entire community will sympa-
thize with Mr. and Mrs. Slusher In
their sad Ions. Little Pat was the
exact counterpart cf his brother Mike
and the twins were favorites with all
who knew the family. The little one
had never recovered from ft severe Ill-
ness that he suffered several months

taken to Kansas City for treatment by

Elbert Hamilton one of the em-
ployes was ei " iged In cleaning some
tics sponging them with gasoline
which he was dipping from a pint cup
of the liquid. A preying Iron heated
by a gas Jet was near by and In some
way the gas generated from the liquid
caught fire Instantly enveloping ;be
room In flames The firemen came in
a Jiffy and a big stream of water
quickly put out the blase.
Fred Hamilton estimates that his
damage was between 1100 and $200
mostly due to water. He had no in
surance as the companies will not
write policies on pressing establlsh-
menls. Mr. Hamilton stated that he
would make food any loss to his cus-
tomers who had clothing In his place.
Mr. Hamilton has successfully con-
ducted his dry cleaning establishment
the only one of the kind In the city and
he says regardless of the fire his busi-
ness will go ahead without Interrup-
tion. MACCABEES NOTICE.

alent that a mistrial will be the termi-
nation of the famous case against Col.

for his country home. Asked If he
would return to receive a verdict dur-
ing the night he oald:
"I will not. If they reach a verdict
It will be Just as good In the morn-
ing. I don't believe la midnight ver-
dicts." Judge Hart began his charge to the
Jury at 9:30 a. m.. and finished at
11:45 at which time the twelve men
retired to deliberate. The typewrit-
ten charge of 62 pages about 400
words to the page was handed to
Juror Hyde and according to custom
in this county this makes him the fore-
man. Judge Hart has declared his Inten-
tion of holding the Jury together for
