vice.

true bills against United States Sena-
tor Charles H. Dietrich and Postmas
ter Jacob Fisher, of Hastings. Neb.,
charging them with conspiracy and
bribery in connection with the appoint
ment of Fisher to the position of post

meroly accepted the report of the grand

tents beyond making an order to the

The indictment against Senator
Dietrich chargos that he accepted
money and property in consideration
of his recommending Fisher for ap-
pointment as postmaster at Hastings.

ment with Senator Dietrich by which

money |1,300 for securing to Fisher

Indictment of the senator were referred
to Mr. Rosewater. who declared that
(he indictments were the result of a
political quarrel. Mr. Rosewater as-
serted that Senator Dietrich had a !
good defense and added that he and the ■
senntor had come to Washington at
this time to bring about the removal
of District Attorney Sommers. He said
they already had been to the white
house on this mission. Mr. Rosewater
declared that District Attorney Som-
mers had pushed the charges against
Senator Dietrich for the reason that
they were politically antagonistic.

Mtnhble to a Neighborhood Social.
Peoria, III,, Nov. 17.—May Henneger,
a prominent young lady of Bishop, was
found murdered In a pasture near her
home. Her body was horribly muti-
lated and half burled.
Miss Henneger accompanied Fred
Strubble, a neighbor's son, to a supper
and social given at tho county school
bouse, a short distance from the girl's
homo, Saturday evening. When she
failed to return her patents were great-
ly alarmed, but as neither she nor
Strubble could be found It was supposed
that they had eloped and would be
heard from in a few days. The discov-
ery of the girl's remains thus aroused
the community, but all efforts of the
authorities to locate Strubble's where-
abouts have proven unavailing. The
condition of the body Indicated a des-
perate struggle. The girl was the
daughter of Newton Henneger, a prom-
inent farmer.
UPHOLDS GOV. DOCKERY.
(Jolted State* Supreme Court Kulea Ad
veraely to Mr. Hill. Who Complained
About Taxation of Property,

the state of Missouri on the relation
of William Preston Hill versus Gov.

tion of that state was decided yester-
day by the supreme court of the United

had discriminated against himself and
other property holders in tho city of
St. Louis by fixing the tax value of
property built by railroad and tele-
graph corporations at from one-quarter
to two-flfths Its real value and by to-
tally exempting the property of ex-
press companies from taxation.

A PROTEST TO THE WORLD.
Colombia Say* the United State* Govern-
ment Wm Sn*Dlrlously Ha*ty In Recog-
nizing the New l'anama Republic.
London. Nov. 17.—The Colombian
authorities have cabled to London a
lengthy protest against the United
States action towards Panama in
which they claim that the "main re-
sponsibility for the secession of Pana-
ma lies with the United Stales govern-
ment. first by fomenting the separatist
spirit, of which there seems to be clear
evidence; secondly, by hastily acknowl-
edging the independence of the revolted
province, and finally, by preventing the
Colombian government from using
proper means to repress the rebellion."
The cable message goes on to say
that President Marroquin has energet

Our butters and canned goods and
jams and jelllies and beers and whis-
kies and wines, according to Prof. Wi-
le}, are nearly all alumed and boraxed
and glucosed until we don't really know
whether we are eating a sealskin
sacque smothered In moth balls or a
stone quarry a la Newburg. What is
the self-respecting housewife to do?
Who can be expected to contrive rasp-
berry tarts "like mother used to make"

StapcnriotiN I ndcrtnkliiff.
The voters of New York gave a heavy
majority for the proposed issue of
f101.000,000 in bonds to reconstruct
the Erie canal. New York is to make
this enormous expenditure—half of th
proposed cost of the Panama canal—
in order to lower freight rates from
Buffalo to New York. It is anticipated
that waterway competition will force
the railroads to lower their charges.
The original shallow ditch opened in
1825 reduced rates from Buffalo to
Albany from $100 to $10 a ton.
We Ent Too Much.
According to Dr. Wiley, chief chem-
ist of the department of agriculture.
who has been conducting an investiga-
tion to determine what preservatives
are harmful to the human system, the
American people eat too much. He
says they give their kidneys more work

Bad Hoy* In an Oklahoma Rural District
Frightened the Teacher, Who Was
Unable to (Juell Disorder.
Lawton, Ok.. Nov. 17.—In school dis-
trict No. 5. near Hulen, a boy of 17
] in some way came in possession of a
I quart ot whisky, which he took to
school. The bottle was passed among
j the boys and in a little while half the
boys in school were drunk. They
I fought, jumped over seats, tore up
| furniture and yelled. The teacher.
J Miss Meda Medberry, was badly fright-
ened. The disorder reached such a
pitch that all efforts to quell It were
in vain. Finally she dismissed school
and called a meeting of the board.
They expelled the bad boy and his as-
sociate ringleaders.
Uncle Nam Will Endeavor to Keep Poach-
er* Out of YellowRtone—Surveying
Work Completed.
Butte. Mont., Nov. 17.—J. Scott Har-
rison. who has had charge of survey-
ing the boundary line of tin Yellow-
stone national park, is here. He says
the gigantic task, the work of eight
years, has just been completed. Gran-
ite monuments, placed every half mile
warn tho poachcr to keep off. It is
possible that a wire fence will be put
entirely around the park. Mr. Har-
rison says that' the wilds are full of
elk, deer and bear, with 6ome moose,
and that if these animals are to be
protected, they must be kept from wan
dering off the Reservation, where hunt
ers may shoot them.
It Is reported that In many localities
homes are Infeited by paddlers trying
to sell or Introduce so-called "cheap"
or low-priced baking powders, either
directly or by an ordtr upon a grocer.
In most Instances deception Is used,
and It Is claimed that the article is a
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits of a pure article.
Housekeepers should be, on their
guard against this danger to their lood.
Alum powders are almoat always low
priced. But they are well known to be
detrimental to health. In England and
In some sections of this country their
sale Is prohibited by law. Congress
has forbidden the sale of food contain-
ing alum In the District of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use. Dr. S. W. Johnson, for Instance,
Professor of Chomlstry at Yale Col-
lege, says: "Bread made with a bak-
ing powder containing alum must
yield a soluble alumina salt with tho
gastric Juice, and must, therefore, act
"i a poison."
It is well known that these so-called
'cheap" goods are made from alum or
the very cheapest materials. One of
them was recently analyzed at Yale
College and found to bo one-quBrter
sharp pointed grains of ground flint.
Others are filled with sulphuric acid,
and salts of lead are also found in
them.
In baking powders be sure to get a
reputable well-known cream of tartar
brand, and never buy from peddlers.

Dynamite Kxplodes and Four Men
Lone Tlielr Lives.
Columbus, O., Nov. 17.—Four men
were blown almost to pieces on the
stock farm owned by Dr. J. B. Hart-
man, south of Columbus, yesterday.
How the accident occurred will never
be known, for all those who were
present are dead. The men had been
working since early in the summer
clearing the farm of stumps and stones
with the aid of dynamite.
Applying a Good I.niv.
The law which Secretary Cortelvou
has for the first time invoked to ex-
clude an anarchist from this country
reflects public opinion. There are
enough anarchists in this country
now without borrowing from the old
world the teachers of revolution and
tocial disruption. Those who are dis-
posed to defy public opinion should be
given to understand that there will be
no more temporizing, no more misin-
terpretation of the term "freedom of
speech."
Too Much Self-Analyata.
The youngi men of to-day are too
finicky—too much given to self-analv-
eis. too self-pampering. Their shoes
and neckties cost more each year than
did the entire wardrobe of lUeir granrt-
fathers. Thoy feel a sense of degrada-
tion in small beginnings and plodding,
and they wait for success ready made
to come to them. There is not a
young man in the country who would
Imitate Ben Franklin, and march
through the streets munching a ioaf
of bread while looking for employ-
ment . .

partly decomposed body of J. M.
Scaeller, until recently a soldier in the
United States army in the Philippines,
has been found at the summit of the
highest peak of the lofty Sandla range.
A six-shooter with one chamber empty
lay near the body. The body lay be-
tween two great bowlders, as if the man
bad attempted to provide a tomb be-
fore killing himself. Scaeller was last
seen in Albuquerque on October 18,
when he said that he was going to
his home in Kansas City.

Rochester, Pa.. Nov. 17.—Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture J. P. Brigham
addressed the National grange, of
which he was master for nine years.
He urged the farmers to take a firm
stand against the "tyranny of organ-
ized labor and organized capital.''
i Both, he said, were threatening prob-
lems which the agricultural class alone
could solve. His words were received
with great enthusiasm.
