of a wildcat alarmed him- A few
minutes later he saw the beast ten
feet In front of him The animal
finally sprang He jumped aside and
as the body of the ct struck the road
he leaped opon It For aeveral min-
utes the fight between the wild ani-

"tLast year 1 suffered with a tremen-

'One Peril of Ballooning
'One of the Btrange experiences -of
-a balloonist Is that of falling Into "a
hole in the air” which Mr Rolker re-
ports ns follows: “So you continue
sailing enjoying the present with
little thought of the startling sur-
prises that may be before you Ahead
of you unseen may be what the bal-
loonist calls a ‘hole In the air’ re-
sembling the vortex of a maelstrom
and down this you may literally fall
at a 'gate which Is terrifying until by
sacrificing two or three bagfuls of
sand at once your pilot checks your
downward might But these 110168”
are scarce and as a rule the atmos-
phere is of uniform carrying power”

THE Fl
DISCHARGE OF NEGRO TROOPS
DISCUSSED IN H0U8E
SOON AFTER THE HOLIDAYS
Resolution Will Bn Called Up and
Acted On — Modify Reaolutlon and
Make It Mandatory on the Mili-
tary Committee
Washington Dec 21 — Immediate-
ly after tbs senate convened today
Senator Foraker’s resolution looking
to an Investigation by the senate of
the president's discharge of the three
negro companies of the Twenty-fifth
Infantry was taken up and Senator
Foraker addressed the senate in Its
support He began with the broad
declaration that the president mis-
conceived hla constitutional power
when he discharged the troops and
he also misconceived the testimony
on which bis action was based
"Congress has ’ always been care-
ful” he continued “to provide that
no man found guilty of nn offense
should be punished otherwise -than
ts congress might direct
J '“The president says this Is the
most atrocious ' crime ever commit-
ted If these men committed the
crime and did shoot up Brownsville
1 agree with him
"Should the military committee be
given authority to examine wit-
nesses” Mr Foraker continued "I
know that 1 can get some testimony
that will throw addltlonul light on
this matter'
Air Foraker repeated that he he
lleved that the president had been
imposed upon “But” he added “1
believe that he is a big enough man
to undo what he has dond when he
finds out the true situation”
When he concluded he gave no-
tice that he should modify his reso-
lution regarding nn Investigation so
as to make It mandatory on the mill-
tary committee This resolution
will be called -after the holidays
Coming to the defense of the presl
dent Senator Lodge remarked that
he was not one of those who on 'ap
proaching a new subject made up his
mind in advance tie preferred to
reach his conclusion after be had ex-
amined the evidence This he had
not had time to do He had read
enough of the testimony to ascer-
tain that there were two sides to the
question There was a question of
Justice involved not only to the men
discharged-' but to the president and
the secretary of war He believed it
lncreditable that reputable army
odicurs would deliberately falsify re-
ports because one of them was the
son of a Democrat and another was
born in South Carolina
Mr Lodge said that the record of
the Twenty-fifth regiment showed
that at four other times it had oeen
Involved in similar escapades
Senator Scott concluded the de-
bate saying that he had tulked with
a retired army officer who had com-
manded the 'Twenty-fifth regiment
sixteen years jmd declared it to be
as reliable as any In the service
Negro troops he said were the only
ones who had never failed to win a
battle agalnBt the Indians
“If I have studied tne history of
the Spauish-Amertcan war accur-
ately” he continued “I am right on
the conclusion that if It had not
been for the Tenth cavalry possibly
we would not have the privilege of
having that gallant soldier that
splendid president in the White
House”
MORE PRINTING TROUBLE
Guthrie Okla Dec 2L — The print-
ing matter again came iu for a little
discussion when the report of the
committee on convention printing
which' had been made a special or-
der for this morning was called up
by Wood of Cneroneo chairman of
the committee He stated that he
bad been unable to get an Itemized
statement of the printing expense so
far but that the printing done by the
Guthrie Leader would amount to
UU0 or $700 and the printing ordered
by Secretary FI Ison to $330 or $400
He said that itemized statements of
both accounts were now being pre-
pared Asp of Guthrie thereupon moved
that the whple matter be referred
hack to the committee with Instruc-
tions to secure a statement on print
Ing Itemizing the expense of print
ing each bill and proposition num-
ber Haskell seconded the motion
Pittman of Knld then moved that
the committee be required to com-
pare the rate now charged with the
rates heretofore charged for legisla-
tive printing which was carried ns
was also the original motion

ATTRACTIONS OF WESTERN
CANADA
Magnificent Crop Returns for the
Year 1906
The manner in which the Canadian
West has attracted settlers In recent
years has caused many of our journals
and public men to "alt up and take no-
tice" to use a current phrase From
every European country and from al-
most every State la the Union large
number of Bottlers have flocked to the
prairie provinces of Canada where
free homesteads and wide opportun-
ities are open to all who deBlre to
avail' themselves of them
The greatest factor In attracting
settlers lies In the Inherent richness
of soil and suitability of climate for
producing what Is universally consid-
ered to be the finest wheat In - the
world— the "No 1 Hard"- of Canadian
growth— and other cereals that rank
In the very first class This year the
harvest returns were: Wheat 90-
000000 bushels oats 76000000 bush-
els barley 17000000 bushels and
when It Is considered that the entire
population of the three provinces— as
evidenced by the quinquennial census
Just completed— Is only 810000 It Is
easily seen that the lure of the Cana-
dian West is in its agricultural poten-
tialities Another feature which attracts' the
settler is that railway construction Is
proceeding with such rapidity that! al-
most every 'district Is within easy
reach of outside markets and that
good prices for all lines of farm prod-
ucts rule practically from the com-
mencement of agricultural operations
This Is a factor which did not prevail
when the earlier settlements In the
West were made In Canada and in thu
United' States and has given- a- great
Impetus to Canadian Western settle-
ment In recent years
The free grant system of home-
steads which prevails In the prairie
provinces by which every settler who
Is able and willing to comply with the
conditions of actual settlement by no
means onerous! Is given 169 acres
free except $16 (or entry Is a great
drawing card and In the last fiscal
year gathered la over 189000 addi-
tional to the western population of
which 67796 were from the United
States
The further (act as Is strongly
brought about by the ugmrt of the
Canadian Government whose address
appears elsewhere that a splendid
common school system practically
tree prevails throughout the entire
country and Is easy of access in even
the most remote districts Is another
great Inducement to the settler who
has the future welfare of his family
In mind and this coupled with the
fact that western Canadian law and
order are proverbial completes a
circle of good and sufficient reasons
why the tide of Immigration has set
In so steadily toward the country to
the north of our boundary line
Deer Through Store Window
A three-year-old buck created a
sensation in Bank street Providence
R I the busiest thoroughfare by
charging through the plate glass front
of a Jewelry store
Upon finding Itself cornered the
buck retreated through the window
and a minute later went into a store
and knocked down the proprietor
who Is a heavyweight The buck took
to the street and after leading scores
of men and vehicles a merry chase
escaped by taking to the gardens In
one of the residential sections
I
Fen for Captured Rati
As the Hindu population object to
the killing of rats an influential na-
tive banker proposes to provide a “rat
ruksha” or sort of pen in which the
captured rats may be confined as pen-
sioners for the natural term of their
lives the male and female animals
being kept apart
To the homestaylng Europeans this
appears too “GUbertlan” for grave
consideration bnt the proposal has
been most gratefully received by MaJ
