LEGISLATORS UNDER ARREST Springfield, 111., April 11.—Uecauee one-half, of the senate was "playing Jhorae," Lieut. Gov. Oglesby ordered them arrested today for nonattend ance and they must appear for trial tomorrow. INJUSTICE TO A SENATOR Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: In a llat of progressive senators, we note that the name of Senator Gamble is omitted. Who had authority to list Senator Crawford as a reformer, and to deny a similar place to Senator Gamble? They both work together, and both were elected to office by the some faction in South Dakota. WEDa SIOUX INDIAN Los Angeles, Cal., April 11.—Ex clusive and ultra fashionable mem bers of the Arroyo Dinner club were shocked last night when they discov ered that Miss Annabel McFarland, their youngest and prettiest member, had secretly married a Blackfoot In dian. He is Hart Schultz, a tribes man of the Dakotas, 6 feet 2 inches tall. In the every day walks of life we meet with a class of people who want to leave the impression that they are boosters. In fact, they would feel highly insulted for any one to even insinuate to the contrary. Neverthe less, a great many of this class of boosters iters Sever known to boost for anything aside from their own selfishness. This sort of boosting never built up any community, town or city that there is any record of. ... Week end information from the scene of conflict gives to distracted Mexico strengthening hope for peace. During the week the war cloud low ered and peace receded almost to the vanishing point. It is explained that the interruption to negotiations was caused by misdirect telegrams and misinterpretation of code messages. Misunderstandings have been cleared away and there is an expectation that terms may be agreed upon. Associate Justice Charies £. Hughes received the congratulations 4 k. TT •»-». •IT: Ottt WS supreme bench today, this being the forty-ninth anniversary of his birth. Justice Hughes is the youugest mem ber of the Bupreme court and will have to serve twenty years more be fore he will be eligible to retire on full pay. The impeachment trial of Judge John F. Cowan in North Dakota be fore a high court consisting of the members of the state senate is prov ing 'Ather sensational. Politics may be pretty lively in South Dakota at times, but they are always tame com pared with doings in our sister state on the north. -E» E. Bsuovu, of Hurley, charged by the government with having sold cigars from boxes without destroying the revenue stamps, was found guilty of the charge. The prisoner was sen tenced to serve six inonths. in the Yankton county jail and to pay a fine ^f $50 and costs. The saime old question of a false moral theory against the sound busi nets principle of regulated saloons will soon be up before the people.

This physician states that he found on the field three days after the battle thirteen wounded federals in a pitiable condition, crazed by thirst, their wounds undressed, and scorched by a burning sun. Tom L. Johnson, the former mayor of Cleveland, who died Monday night, was enabled to accomplish much for his home city because of his hatred of sham, his honesty of purpose, and his intense desire to place the administra tion of his home town on a business basis. His death in the prime of life was a regretable thing in every way. Now it is stated that it is due to Sen ator Crawford's opposition that Mr. Elliott has not received the appoint ment as federal judge some time ago. Senator Gamble is quoted as express ing the opinion that the difficulty in the way will be overcome soon, and the po sition filled. And now unheard of widows are turn ing up to mourn for the estate of Gen. T. T. Eckcrt, former president of the Western Union Telegraph company. These rich fellows must be glad that they're going to stay dead a long time. Roosevelt is now headed homeward from his western wanderings. Ufa"'' Hr.
