Sen- tinel recently contained an article on "boosling“, from a newspaper standpoint, that, while the general trend of the matter was somewhat pointed, was, nevertheless, quite appropriate in the man, as showing what “reciprocity” stands for be- tween a good, live newspaper and the patrons that the paper should have. The Sentinel editor tells how be has always been a ‘“‘booster” of the thirty-third degree; getting to the front with every proposition calcu- lated to benefit his town, and even “boosting” by not “knocking” some propositions that did not look alto- gether the best for his community. Continuing along this line, the Sentinel very tritely says: “But when this is done there is no occasion for the person or institution boosted to assume that the news- paper has to do it in order to hold its job with the public, as that is indeed a mistake. *‘A newspaper man sees and hears more things good or bad about indi- viduals and about the way institu- tions are conducted than any other individual, a gossiping old maid not excepted, and it is unfair to assume that is it because he does not know that he does not print. “It is because he has a sense of honor and a sense of feeling, and last, but not least, a love of peace and harmony in a community. “Many things might be printed about our town that would make spicy reading, but why herald such things abroad? The least said the better. “The newspaper man, however, has a keen sense of appreciation and is susceptible to flattery of the right sort and to business support. ‘““He appreciates the spirit of the man who, when he has a few dollars’ worth of printing, does not go gala. vanting around the country spending car fare and time, thinking he might get it a few cents cheaper but who says, ‘We’ve got a printer at home who is trying to help our town and and we will in turn help him by giving him the little printing we have to do.’ “This is true community spirit, “and it counts with the merchant, doctor, lawyer and every business which draws its daily living from a community. Even Uucle Sam is not immune from the fundamental principle of reciprocity.” Fixed Bayonets In London. The privilege of marching through London with fixed bayonets is enjoy- ed by but very few regiments, such as the Royal fusileers, who trace their origin to Cromwell’s trained bands, which in later years produced so fa- mous a captain as John Gilpin. After the Royal fusileers, or perhaps even before them in point of regimental seniority, come the East Kent “Buffs,” now the third of the line, who claim a similar city ancestry ,while the Royal marines for some reason or other also enjoy the same fixed bayonet rights in the city. A battalion of the grena- dier guards was once impressed to serve as marines, and hence they share the privilege of the men who are “soldlers and sailors too.” This also explains why that grenadler bat- talion has for its tattoo “Rule Britan- nfa”—as a souvenir of the time when its combative existence was of the amphiblous kind.—London Standard. The Mental Jog. “There is a certain type of person,” eald the business man, “especially in New York, who seems unable to un- derstand what is said to him—or her— unless the statement or remark is pre- fixed by some catchword, usually the word ‘listen.’ “For instance, I have a stenographer who simply stares at me in dumb amazement if I say anything to her without first saying ‘Now, listen.’ If I begin to dictate a letter to her she will not write a word if I forget to give that mental jog. When I snap that at her she will scratch like mad. She is not the only one. The tele- phone girl cannot take a message un- less it has that prefix. When I am out of the office and try to talk over the wire with her I must always be- gin, ‘Now, listen,’ or else she is hope- lessly at sea and seems not to under- stand a word I say.”” —New York Press. —_— Crazy. “We find the prisoner not guilty by reason of insanity.” “But the plea was not that of in. sanity,” remarked the court. “That’s just the point we made,” re- Joined thie foreman. “We decided that any. man who didn't have sense enough to know that an insanity plea was the proper caper must be crazy.”—Phila- delphia Ledger. BOLLIVER LEADS IN HARD BATTLE Woolen Schedule Taken Up in the Senate. HOUSE RATES INCREASED Finance Committee Proposes to Re- Establish the Dingley Tariff Throughout and Senators Warren and 8Smoot Defende That Policy. “lowan Declares Former the Great- st Shepherd Since Abraham. ‘Washington, June 9.—Having con- eluded the cotton schedule the senate Esg&m consideration of the woolen chedule. Taking up the first amend- ment proposed by the committee on finance Senator Dolliver opposed the increase over the house rates. This amendment proposed a return to the Dingley rates on top waste, roving ‘waeste, etc., or an inerease of from 20 to 80 cents per pound. This in- erease was in accordance with the finance committee’s settled purpose of re-ostablishing the Dingley rates throughout the woolen schedule. In defense of the higher rates Sen- alor Warren, who is considered an oxpert In the matter of wool, ex- plained the propriety of maintaining the Dingley duties. Referring to the fact that the Wyoming senator is re- COPYRIENT Y RARRIS'N FWIN & SENATOR DOLLIVER. puted owner of a great many sheep Senator Dolliver declared that Sen- ator Warren is “the greatest shepherd since Abraham.” Mr. Dolliver had read several mem- erials of carded wool manufacturers asking for an ad valorem duty as the just method for protecting all par- #es in interest in the wool business. Benators Warren and Smoot main- tained that the admission into this covntry of top waste and kindred wools supplanted just that amount of American wool. Mr. Warren insisted at rags and shoddy would come into the United States under the lower duty advocated by the senator from Towa. “8o0 long,” responded Mr. Dolliver, “@s many people are obliged to go without woolen clothing in cold weath- er it is better to have the old and short wool obtained from such rags to make their clothing than to have no woolen clothing at all.” INTRODUCED IN THE HOUSE BIll Providing Territorial Government for Alaska. ‘Washington, June 9.—Delegate Wiskersham of Alaska, in a bill in- troduced in the house, proposes the establishment of a territorial form of government for that territory, with the capital at Juneau. Under its pro- visions all Russian subjects who re- slded in Alaska March 30, 1867, are to be considered as citizens of that ter- ritory. The first election for the as- gsembly is proposed to be held in No- vember, 1910, and the sessions are to begin in Juneau on the second Mon- day in January, 1911. SUBGESTED TO PRESIDENT Number .of Changes in Commerce Law. Washington, June 9.—Amendments having for their purpose the more effl- clert administration of the interstate commerce law were suggested to President Taft by a delegation of prominent ctizens of Spokane, Wash., who were accompanied to the White House by Senator Jones and Repre- sentative Poindexter of that state. The chief amendment was one which would give to the shipper the same right of appeal to the courts that is now enjoyed by the railroads. Interstate Spreckels-Case Engagement Broken. New York, June 9.—The engage ent of Miss Mary Case, the concert singer, to marry Claus Spreciels IfI, of California has been broken and Miss Case will soon start for Seattle alone.

FINDINGS NOT MADE PUBLIC Gommission Named to Probe 8tock Exchange Makes Report. Albany, N. Y., June 9.—Horace ‘White of New York, chairman of the eommittee appointed last Deeember by Governor Hughes ton inquire into the facts surrounding the business of exchanges in New York, submitted a report of the committee’s findings to Governor Hughes. b The report makes about 25,000 words. _The members of the commit- tee were Unanimaois in thelr Teport, ‘which will not be made public until Governor Hughes has opportunity to examine it.

When the re- port is made public it will be given out hy Mr. White in New York. IN SESSION AT MEMPHIS Annual Reunion of Confederate Vet - erans’ Association. Memphis, Tenn., June 9.—An im- mense number of visitors have ar- rived in this city to attend the an- nual reunion of the Confederate Vet: eraps’ association. The programme of the day began with dedication of lamps around the Forrest monument. Then the reunion began at the Bi- jou theater. ‘Major Gemeral J. H. McDowell called the assembly to or- der and introduced Governor Patter- son, who delivered the formal address of welcome. He wa3 followed by layor Malone on behalf of the city and by General George W. Gordom, on hehalf of the executive committee. General Clement A. Evans, command- er-in-chief of the Confederate Veter- ans, made the vesponse, which was followed by roll call of states for the naming of committees. FEDERAL GOURT GRANTS INJUNCTION Ruling in Portland Gateway Case Nullified. Chicago, June 9.—The decision of the interstate commerce commission in the Portland gateway case, in which the Northern Pacific was or- dercd to join with the Union Pacific and the Chicago and Northwestern roads in establishing a through route for passengers, has been nullified by an injunction issued in the federal circuit court at St. Louis, according to a telegram received at the Chicago offices of the Harriman lines. The commission held that the north- ern route, via the Northern Pacific, in connection with the Burlington or Great Northern, although as good as the southern route,r via the Harri- man lines, was not a sufficient “rea- sonable and satisfactory” through route because many passengers might prefer the southern route. This was the feature of the decision objected to by the Northern Pacific, which con- tended that as long as it offered the public as good service as could be af- forded by another line it had the right to control its rates so as to keep the long haul for itself. The injunction is regarded as of the greatest importance, as the Portland case was cxpected to serve as a rrecedent which would lead to a num- ber of similar proceedings elsewhere.

MILLIONS FOR ORPHAN BOY Large Fortune Comes to Lad Through Inheritances. Chicago, June 9.—A strange round- about series of deaths and inher- itances leaves five-year-old William McCormick an orphan and possessor of $6,000,000. The man who made the money probably never dreamed it would end in hands so far removed. The property came to Willlam through the death of his mother, Mrs. Emma Nelson, formerly of Topeka, Kan. She received it on the death of her husband, through whom it had come on the death of his former wife, who before he married her was Mrs. Barah Hickling. Originally, then, the fortune came from the deceased Mr. Hickling. He left $4,000,000 which judicious invest- ment in Chicago real estate has in- creased to its present size.

All five passengers were flung free of the machine into the water. The women were dragged down by their clothing, but the driver seized a boat moored near by and crawled aboard. Mysterious Green. To those who believe in the influence of color the shades of green afford an interesting study, not only because of the large number of green things found in nature, but the scale of greens is so varied. Green is, or was, the chosen color of Venus or the " Scandinavian goddess Freya and should be worn upon Fri- day, her name day. The color has always been consider- ed mysterious in its influence. All green creatures, such as snakes or birds, are weird, and people with what | are known as green hazel eyes need to be carefully considered, and among clairvoyants green stands for intellec- tual power, just as they speak of the “blue of peace, rose of love and scarlet of anger.” His Honor Vindicated. A couple of good natured Frenchmen got into a quarrel and challenged each other to fight. On the morning of the duel they and their seconds tramped through the woods to the fatal spot, ‘when one of the duelists, the challeng- ing party, tripped and fell. His second helped him to his feet. “I hope you are not much hurt,” said the other duelist. “I'm not much hurt. I only bumped my noise on the ground.” “Does it bleed?” “Yes, a little.” “Heaven be praised! Blood flows, and my honor is vindicated. Give me your hand, old boy!” RESULTS TELL.
