Still they managed to give him an education such as seldom falls to the lot of the humble, send- ing him successively through the grammar school, doin college, whence he These, the early days full of incidents which the old Portland still dclight to tell concerning the man who was afterward in the running tor the presidential nomination. On leaving college he went to California, then In the heydey of its yauth where he Cleeve gathered of his lite, taught school & while and was admitted to the bar. Of this ceremony an amusing story is remembered. It was In the thiddle of the civil war and the constitutionality of the legal tender act was seriously ques- tioned. Some of the greatest lawyers dis- agreed and when Reed offered himself for examination Judge Wallace, in a somewhat quizzical manner, asked him if he had ever studfed law. Reed said he had, in Maine. Then Judge Wallace asked him: “Do you think the legal tender act is constitutional ?"* “I do,” sald Reed. “Then you shall be admitted,” said Judge Wallace, ‘for any man who can answer that question offhand ought to be allowed to practice law in California.” A year later, however, family considera- tions called him back east and he entered the federal navy for the the great struggle which was then convuls- ing the country. After recolving-his discharge he re-en gaged In law, this time in his native state, and quickly acquired a reputation keen cross-examiner whose questions were at once direct and incisive. He was deemed the star lawyer to corner an obstinate wit- ness or lead an evader Into a needed ad- mission.

Still the experiment proved such a success that he was con- tinued in varlous offices until advancing years, in 1899, took him out of the po- litical arcna again and relegated him to the gallery of honored ones whase fighting days were over, but whose services were gratetully remembered in more countries than one. 1a 1870 he becamo a member of the state senate and attorney general for Maine, and 1n 1877 first entered the natlonal house, | —eeeeeee Blogp 0ISON ns, Tehing, Seabby Skin Disease CANCERS, SWELLINGS, RES—Permanently — cured PIMPLES, by takl tanle Blood Balm.

E. Anderson, where he remained until 1899, serving for soven years of that time as speaker of the house. Maine has always had influential men in congress, and has niways followed the southern custom of keeping good men when it got them there, and Reed was no excep- tion to the old rule. His reputation as a lawyer was greatly eclipsed by his greater reputation as a debater. He never made more than half a dozen prepared addresses duriug all his long service, but his short, pithy, compact, direct, oftentimes scathing speeches, in quaint Yankee phraseology, pointed, bristling and original, were innum- erable. He was at his best in them. All listeped. -Democrats and republicans alike laughed at them, especially when he was skinning alive some obstreperous or unpop- wlar or hypocritical fellow. But notwithstanding the hard knocks he gave, he made lots of friends and kept them. He had many warm Iriendships among the democrats. Samuel J. Randall and he were the best of friends. Wit Was Spontaneous. If his epigrams and scattered witticisms thrown off in the rough-and-tumble debates in the house or at dinners or in chats at | the club could be collected they would make | a valuable collection. He coined many | phrases which will live in political nomen- clature. Here are two of the best known of them: “A statesman is a politician who ik dead.” “The senate is a place that good repre- sentatives go to when they die.” One of Reed's replies to Springer of IIi- nois, who received many a sharp cut from him, is also celebrated. Springer had re- torted to Reed ‘on ome occasion that he “would rather he right than be president *“You need not be alarmed,’ résponded Reed coolly, “you will never be either Slowly but surely he worked his way up to the proud position of leader of the re- publicans. No one can point to the exact time or the exact sesslon when be donged | the mantle, but in the Forty-niath con- | gress he was the candidate of his party for speaker, and that, perhaps, may be taken as the formal acknowledgment that he was the leading man of his party In the lower branch of congress, This Indorse- | ment was given him again In the Fiftieth congress, which, like its predecessor, was controlled by the democrats. This brings Reed up to the great culminating point in his career. i The mext house was republican by a ! small majority and he was elected to the chair after a spirited contest with M- Kinley and Cannon. McKinley, who after- ward became president, and Cannon, who is now slated for .the place he unsuccess- tully sought in 1880, Always Self-Controitec. During his occupancy of the chair he kept his self-control. But it is said that in the seclusion of the speaker's private room | he used to rélleve his mind freely, emphat- ically and fully with regard to the tactics which the democrats were pursuing in the house. He never manifested the slightest fear, and, when asked how he felt about the turbulent Actions of the democratic minority, said he felt exactly as he would if & big creature were jumping at him, and he knew the exact length and strength of his chain, and were sure of the weapon be had in his hand. This “weapon” to which Mr. Reed referred is, of course, the gavel, which he pronounced as it it were spelled “gayvel,” with the accent on the first syllable. THe next two congresses, the Fifty-sec- ond and Fifty-third, were democratic, and ) Reed, being in the minority, lost the chalr. But in 1895 he was again restored to power, till in 1899, he resigned. In his early congressional days he served on the celgbrated Potter investigating com- wittee, appointed to examine the circum- stances of Presideit Hayes' election and took an active part in the remarkable proceedings. Celebrated Reed Ru In bis first term as speaker he acquired his reputation as a “quorum gounter.” “At that time It was customdry not to ackuowl- o edge the presence of any member who did l' not “huswer to his name when céiled, but Reed overruled this.

MATHEWSON AMOwu THOSE DROPPED Four Agencies in Sonth Dakota, One Nebraska and One in fowa to He Placed In Charge of School Superinten: (From a Staff Cofrespondent.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—(Special Tele- | gram.)—Along the line of Commiesioner Jones' report to the secretary of the inte- rior the house committee on Indian affairs | today decided to report the bill to the house contalning fourteen omissions in number of Indian agents as compared with the appropriation bill that passed last ses- sion. It is Commissioner Jones' intention wherever possible to knock out Indian agents and place the agencies in charge of bonded school superintendents. The com- missioner contends in his report that the advance made by certain tribes of Indians warrants their being placed under school supervision rather than under political su- pervision. He recommends that farmers and matrons are more advantageous than political agents and wherever tribes of In- dians have shown a. disposition to better their condition he believes in giving them all the aid possible. In consequence of this report the houso committee today decided to strike out four- teen agents at Indian agencles, the most important of which is the Omaha and Winnebago agency. The following agents are eliminated from South Dakota: Sis- seton, Crow Creek, Lower Brule and Yank- ton, while the Sac and Fox agent in Towa is also discontinued. Senator Gamble Will Oppose. Senator Gamble, speaking today of the action of the house committee on Indian affairs, said that the abandonment of agents at Indian agencies would work evil instead of good to the tribes of Indians fn- terested. “For one I am opposed to the proposition and will fight it in the senate. 1 cannot conceive of a superintendent of schools trained along educational lines and interested in education primarily being fitted to conduct the plain.practical busi- ness of an agent. It is well known that an educator lacks business qualifications and while a man may make a good superintend- ent of schools, he may fall as an agent. The movement to reduce the number ot Indian agents has been uppermost for some time and many attempts have been made aloug similar lines. When the house com- | mittee last year struck out the agents at the Sac and Fox agency in lowa Senator Allison had the agent restored. Other agents were discontinued by the house committee and as promptly restored by the senate. 1 want to say now that the South Dakota agents discontinued in the house bill which will be reported on Monday will be put back if the senatorial delegation trom South Dakota can bring it about.” Just what action Senator Millard will take on the determination of the house Indian affairs committee to Wiscontinue | the agent at the Omaha and Winnebago agency is not known. It will be interest- ing, however, to watch developments, as the senator is known to be friendly to the present agent, C. P. Mathewson. Annuitics for Santees. Behator Gamble was at the Indian office today for the purpcee of urging a prompt report on the bill for the restoration o annuities for the Santee ndians. The sen- ator asked for a corrected report on ‘the amount of money due these Indlans that was declared forfeited by the- prior report | in which It was stated that these Indians | had been overpaid, apart from the amount | of annuities due them. The senator stated that he looked for a revised computation | in a very short time, which he expected would show a large amount due to the Santees of Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota. He also called at the Interior | department to urge that an adjustment be made and proper credit given the Sioux Indians in his state for the amount dua thera for land sold under the treaty of 1889, Senator Dietrich today recommended John F. Allen for postmaster at Halgler, Dundy county, Neb. Creates New National Park. Representative Martin of the South Da. kota delegation, under call of committe today succeeded in passing Senator Gam- ble's bill setting apart about 10,000 acres of land in the state of South Dako‘a as a pub- lic park to be known as Wind Cave National park, being lands sutrounding that well known natural formation. The bill provides that the park thus created shall be under the exclusive control of the secretary of the interior until the requirements of the bill are carried out. Captain Seth Bullock of the Black Hills forest reserve will have direct supervision over the new park. The commissioner general of the land office today recefved a petition signed by a number of citizens of Wind River valley, Wyoming, protesting against the incorpora. tion of certain lands in' thelr sevcion {n the Teton forest reserve. The lands which they desire to have left out of the reservation limits are sald to be grazing and not tim- ber land. Commissioner Hermann will send a &pecial agent to look the situation over. Gives Power to Federal Courts, A bill introduced by Representative Mar- tin, conferring jurisdiction on the federal courts for offenses committed on Indian reservations in South Dakota, passed the house today. It appears that under the ex- isting law federal courts cannot take cogni- zance of misdeeds committed on ladian res- ervations in South Dakot by other than full-blosded Indians. ‘The federal courts now have no means of punishing halfbreeds and’ whites who have committed erimes in the Indidn reservations, and offenders of this el manage to escae punishment.

A bill of great interest to the w especially to the ofl sections, was passed today by Representative Sutheriand. The bill provides that where ofl claims are lo- cated under placer mining laws as placer claims the annual assessment work may be done upon any one group of five claims ly- ing contiguous and owned by the same corporation, providing such work will tend to develop or determine the ofl-bearing character of the contiguous claims. Mr. Sutherland, in explaining the bill, said that under the present law there must be per- formed $100 worth of development work on each cldim. "The courts have, however, held that the annual labor required may be done upon any one group of claims, providing the work tends to benefit the entire group. The bill seeks to benefit oll prospectors and to save them unnecessary expense by per- mitting an expenditure of $500 on one group of clalms rather than compelling them to distribute {t over all the claims. The bill has had the backing of Nebraska and Utah people who are interested in the develop- ment of the oil lands of Wyoming.

Dr. Boogher's decision - followed the te- ceipt of a report from Dr. Gradwohl, the bacteriologist, who stated that he had com- pleted a chemical analysis of Mrs. Bmith's heart, liver, stomach and kidneys, and also of the embalming fluid which was injected into Mrs. Smith's stomach by the under- taker after her death. “Inasmuch as the embalming fluld con- talned a considerable amount of arsenous acld,” sald Dr. Gradwohl in his report, ‘ot course the various organs also contained arsenous acid.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The increases in freight rates shortly to be applied on roads running from the Mississippi river and points beyond to the east and south will be | investigated by the Interstate Commerce commission on December 16. The commission has issued an order re- questing the attendance of the chief traf- fic officers, or othérs qualified to give in- formation, from the following roads: Mich- igan Central, Lake Shore, Erie, Baltimore & Ohlo, Pennsylvania company Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louls, Wabash, Baltimore & Ohlo Southwestern, New York Central, Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania Railway, Southern Railway, Norfolk & Western and Chesapeake & Ohfo. Commission Issues O The following order has been issued: Whereas, It appears from schedules on file with the commission that rates on grain and grain products, dressed meats and pro- vislons from the Mississippi river to New York and points governed by the New York rate are to be materfally advanced in the near future; and, Whereas, It appears probable that other advances are to be made which will ma- terlally increase the general cost of trans- portation, therefore, it is Ordered, That & proceeding of Inquiry and Investigation be instituted as to the oeca- sion for and propriety of such advances. Following & similar action by the Mich- igan Central, the. Chicago, Indianapolis & Lousville has filed the required advance notice of an increase of 5 cents on dressed meats shipped from Chicago to New York, making this rate 45 cents per 100 pounds and abolishing the export rgte on provis- fons, making a flat rate of 30 cents. Hears of New Grain Hates. er. The commission has also given official notice that proportional rates on wheat and flour from Kansas City, St. Joseph, Atchi- son, Leavenworth and other lower Missourl river points have been advanced 2 cents to Chicago. The local rates from those points to Chicago have not been increased on wheat and flour, but on other grain and grain products an increase of 1 cent per hundred pounds is to be applied. From Ohlo river points, such as Cincin- nati, Louisville, Evansville, New Albany and Cafro, to Charleston, Atlants, Bruns- wick and the South Atlantic coast gen- erally, an increase s to be made of 4 cents on grain and flour when shipped in sacks and of 7 cents a barrel, or 3% cents per 100 pounds, when shipped In barrels. These rates, which are to be applied on the Louisville & Nashville, 1lfinois Central and Southern Railway carry corresponding increases from Ohlo river points to Nash- ville.
