,i IS N i MUCH WORK DONE BY THE DAMANS t^liK'J Delegation* ftom North and South Dakota Have 'Taken Prom inent Part.' By W. W. Jermane. Washington, March 4.In sizing up the work of congress which closed to day, the record shbivs that the delega tions from the Dakotas have put thru a number of bills which were of more than average local and general import ance. In all mention of legislation in this connection, it should tie remem bered that senators and representatives have worked in harmony. Probably the most important piece of legislation of interest to North Dakota was the Devils Lako reservation open ing bill, which became a law toward the end of the last session. Another was the settlement of the long ponding claim of Turtle Mountain Indians for lands taken by the whites, by the pay ment of $1,000,000 cash. A new land district, with headquart ers at Dickinson, was created, and the Indian agricultural school, eosting $100,000 established at Bismarck. A bill of interest to all the western country, was one pushed thru Hans brough's committee on public lands, foi bidding the exchange of timber lands for lands in forest reserves. Land legislation embracing other features, including tho sale of timber lands at .-Miction, was advocated by the secretary of the interior, and put thru the Senate by Mr. Hansbroiigh, but it died in. the house committee on public lands. Bills for the construction- of a bridge at Fargo, and extending the free homes' act to lands in the abandoned Fort Abraham Lincoln reservation, also be came laws. Irrigation Work. Outside of congress, the work of es tablishing irrigation projects at Fort Buford and along the Missouri river at Bismarck, and one other place have been decided upon under the federal reclamation act, of which Hansbrough was the author. Thru the efforts of Senator Hansbrough, Fort Lincoln, near Bismarck, has been* made a battalion post instead of a two-company post, with double its present capacity. Senator McOumber tried hard to have the senate pass the pure food bill, which passed the house in the second session, but it was sidetracked only yesterday. Ho also secured an appro priation in the river and harbor bill of $50,000 for the improvement of the Missouri river at Bismarck and other places, the fato of which was only de cided today. South Dakota Members. The most-talked-of legislation en acted by South Dakota members was the Martin resolution of inquiry into the operation of the beef trust, which is to result in the prosecution of prom inent packers in Chicago. Next to that were acts opening the Rosebud Indian reservation to settlement and entrj', the creation of the Battle Moun tain sanatorium park in connection with the Hot Springs soldiers' home, and authorizing the state of South Dakota to select school indemnity lands in Great Sioux reservation. Bills for the construction of two bridges across the Missouri river at Yankton also became laws. Senator Kittridge, since the death of Senator Hanna, has been in charge of legislation relating to the Panama canal zone, and was also in charge of amend ments to the .copj'right laws, a meas ure of great interest to publishers. The delegation also secured the in sertion of substantial appropriations for the Missouri river in the river and harbor bill, and provision was made for public buildings, but the latter measure was kijled by Speaker Cannon. The Indian school and the Indian insane asylum at Canton were also cared for in the various Indian appropriation acts of congress. Mr. Martin's bill for 640-acre home steads on lauds west of the Missouri river passed the house but failed in the senate at the last minute.

GRIM TALE OF CRIME AND HANGING A MYTH Sew Toik Sun Special Servioe. Allentown, Pa., March 4.-^-The man claiming to be Adolph Bloch, a brother of Eugene Bloch, who was hanged in this city last Tuesday for the murder of his paramour, Mrs. Katie Fatzinger, in August, 1903, who professes to hav ing murdered the woman, is not given any credence by the police, who had charge of the case against Eugene Bloch and were instrumental in se curing his conviction.

"Nowhere at present." "How is that? You used to." "Ye s. 1 was a member of tho church and played in the choir for years for nothing. When I moved away I asked for .a letter of dismissal to unite with another church. I received word that no letter would be granted until 1 paid up my church dues. They weren't very much, but more than I could raise at that time. I told them my musical services had more than met my obliga tion, and they could keep the letterI didn't want it." He slowly and sadly added: I stay at home Sunday, now." Not long after this I called on a sick man, a stranger in town. He told nie he had "struck a streak of bad luck." I gave him some money and had a doc tor visit him. Then I learned he'was a member of a certain society. Know ing its principles., I visited one of its THE GREAT HOME The Ainust a primitive race of Japan, who are rapidly becoming extinct, live in the southeast of the/Island of Yozo. They never cut their hair, which they Sohsider sacred, and the women have a curious fashion of tattooing their upper lips with the representation of a mus tache, which gives their otherwise gen tle faces a ferocious look. They wor ship the bear with sacred dances Tho victim is fattened for the sacrifice, and .-just before'being put to death is pre sented with offerings of food. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has been used so sttooessf nfly in thousands of homes in oases of Stomach, I/tv^er, Bowel and Kidney disorders that it is now universally* mkxs&vri^ edged to be the greatest home remedy on the maarkst. It has been before the public for over 50 years, which.isMi officers and informed him of the con dition of one of his brothers.'' He called on him and promised to see what could be done. Days elapsed then I found that because the sick brother had not been able to. pay his dues for some time, he was not held to be in "good standing," and the lodgo as such could do nothing for him. These two cases are samples of hun dreds. During years of health and pros perity, when members can take care of themselves and pay their dues, they have all the privileges and friends. When they fail, they are turned down and out, present need and past faith fulness being forgotten. It is this inconsistency of precept and Eractice: of the strongest arguments we can present as to its woaderflil meiit and cw -Ending y&a to give it a trial. It is also freely prescribed by physioians to their most dedicate padaeaxte, past experience having proven that the weak^pfcisto retain 1*. It is natiire^owii remedy for the many ills of mankind and its results are certain. tt. which led a man to say in my earing "Please excuse me from church and club life. Both are full of fair-weather friends." I think life's saddest tragedy is to have a midsummer dream of friendship turn into a" winter's tale of forgetful ness. In business, men aro strenuously sought when fortune favors. In society, summer friends are not winter-proof. In love, the wine of affection is turned into the vinegar of hate. In'politics and war, the fire.of defeat melts the crowd of admirers. In learning youth derides the old matt once dreaded. But for any church, like the disciples in Gethsemane, to be asleep and unwill ing to watch and help when asked and needed for any society to show the sentiment of the crow in India, which pecks a sick vulture to death, is the height of liell-hearted hypocrisy. Let the barbarous Turk teach his fol lowers "to caress the favorites, avoid the unfortunate, and trust nobody but let Christian and civilized church and club members do differently. "Blow, blow, thou winter wind not so unkind as man's ingratitude." A friend loveth at all timeSj and a brother is born for adversity."
