LEVER PRAISED BY MANN.
Republican Leader Comments on
Agricultural Bill.
Washington, March 20.?The
agricultural appropriation bill,
though carrying an appropriation of
only about $19,000,000, is one of the
most important of the annual supply
measures. Congressman A. F. Lever
is chairman of the agricultural committee.
which is one of the '"big 1
twelve," none of its members being
allowed to serve on any other committee.
The appropriation bill drawn by
this committee covers hundreds of
different projects, and it is one of
the most difficult bills in congress to
be handled on the floor. Just before
the bill was passed in the house last
week Mr. Mann, leader of the rninori- ?
ty, arose and said: 1
"Mr. Chairman, in the last con- <
gress a very distinguished democrat was
chairman of the committee on 1
agriculture. In fact, a number of <
very distinguished men have been J
chairman of the committee on agri- 1
culture, even since my service in the <
house, but I believe that never have '<
we had a better chairman, and I am i
somewhat doubtful whether we have 1
ever had so patient a chairman as the <
gentleman from South Carolina, (Mr. 1
Lever,) and as we are now about to
elose the consideration of this bill 1
and pass it, I think I am speaking 1
the sentiment of every member of 1
hniKP when I sav that we con
gratulate the gentleman upon his 1
ability, his clearness, his expression, <
his patience and his constant ?
courte." ' 1
Mr. Haugen, of Iowa, the ranking 1
republican member of the committee <
on agriculture, then asked permission *
to address the house for one minute 1
and said:
"Mr. Chairman, I wish to say that <
I concur in what has been said by 1
the distinguished gentleman from
Illinois. I believe it can be truthfully
said that no man has pursued his i
duty with greater fidelity and conscious
rectitude of purpose than has
the gentleman who has presided over
the committee on agriculture during ^
this congress " i

STOPPED BATTLE TO DRINK. 1

Austrian and French Soldiers Joked
Between Bullets.
The amusing accounts of peaceful ,
v?*? PoHprsi and Confed- ,
U<Ai IC1 Ut .
erate soldiers on the picket line are j
paralleled by an incident from the ,
. memories of Col. Angell, who served
in the Austrian army during the war j
with Italy in 1859. Angell's per- t
sonal adventures on the da" of (
Magenta are well worth giving, says <
Dorothea Gerard, who has reviewed ]
the colonel's work for the Cornbill ,
Magazine.- ;
The adventures began when he, to- :
gether with a handful of men, got
separated from his battalion, and j
that in turn resulted from an attack \
that the battalion made on a trouble- <
some troop of "Turcos." Presently Angeli
and his men found themselves (
on one side of the little river Navi- ,
glio, the opposite bank of which was .
occupied by the French There they
stayed until evening, firing and being
fired at in rather .desultory :
fashion. No orders reached them, i
and they were quite unaware of how :
the battle was going. The
day was hot and both the temperature
and the occupation were (
conducive to thirst. The sight of
flowing water soon became tantaliz- '
. ing, but to leave the ranks meant,
of course, to become a target for the
French bullets; so even the thirstiest <
desisted. All at once the French fire
stopped; the Austrians followed suit.
A moment later the figure of a
, French officer rose from the bushes
on the opposite bank and advanced,
flask in hand, to the border of the
river, where, having punctiliously
saluted, he went through a pantomime
whose meaning was not to be
misconstrued. A burst of laughter
gave him the license he wanted, and
in another moment both banks of the
stream were swarming with thirsty
men. wuu c.VUilttugcu Hicuujt auu
jocular remarks across the water.
When all had drunk their fill and returned
to cover, the captain pantomimically
expressed his thanks,
and ended by blowing a kiss across
the river, before he disappeared
among the bushes. A minute later
the firing had begun as merrily as
ever.

Has Husband Arrested.
Mrs. John Larsen, mayor of
n Troutdale, Ore., caused the arrest
of her husband Wednesday on a
charge of selling liquor to minors.
Recently the woman mayor asked
the district attorney to investigate
alleged law violations. When she
found that evidence had been discovered
against her husband, himself a
liquor dealer, she promptly swore
out a warrant. "I did not think I'd
catch Mr. Larsen," she said Wednesday,
"but if he's guilty he'll have to
take his medicine like the rest."
GOT OFF WITH MONEY.
Lone Bandit Robs Gulf, Colorado
and Sante Fe Passenger Train.
Beaumont, Texas, March IS.?After
bundling the messenger, ,,Reb"
Martin, into a gunny sack a masked
man to-day robbed the express car attached
to north-bound Gulf. Colorado
and Santa Fe Passenger Train. Xo.
202, of several packages of currency,
estimated to amount to about $14,000,
and escaped from the train at
the village of Helbig, twelve miles
north of Beaumont. l"p to a late
hour to-night posses which went to
Helbig from this city in automobiles
had not found a trace of the bandit,
believed to be hiding in the dense
forest about the village.
G. A. Taft, general superintendent
Df the Wells Fargo Express Company,
to-night estimated the amount stolen
at $14,000. The money was part of a
shipment made by a Houston lumber
concern to be used in paying their
employees at camps along the road.
Explaining earlier estimates which
placed the amount secured in excess
af that figure, Mr. Taft stated that
all of the lumber company's consignment
was not sent aboard the robbed
:rain. Previous estimates were bassd
on statements of officials of the
lumber company.
According to Martin the man, who
;vas middled-aged, appeared from belind
a pile of freight shortly after
:he train left Beaumont.
Martin says the man ordered him
:o turn over his keys, and that he
obeyed, and then was bound and forced
into the sack. That was all Mar:in
says he sa^ or heard until the
;rain crew forced an entrance into the
?ar and released him at the town of
Silstjee, several miles north of Helaig.
The suspicions of the train
rew were aroused when the messengiv
did not come from the car at SilsDee.
MAY TRY IN PRIMARY.
Women Can Put Suffrage up to Democratic
Convention.
Columbia, S. C., March 22.?That
:he women in South Carolina who believe
in suffrage will carry their fight
:o the State democratic convention
ivhich meets in Columbia in May was.
:he opinion expressed in Columbia
;o-day by several.
The movement has just struck
South Carolina. A few months ago
woman's suffrage seemed a remote
possibility, but now it is daily growing.
It has almost become an issue
within the last few weeks.
Mrs. Valentine, a leader of the suffrage
cause in Virginia, came down
to Columbia severals days ago and
delivered an address. She set fire
to the movement and it is gaining
headway. The question is being discussed
everywhere in Columbia. The
advocates of the cause are writing
many letters to the local papers.
'The women might gain a point
if they carry their fight before the
State democratic convention in May,"
said a well-known politician to-day.
'You know the primary in South Carolina
is just like an election and the
convention would have the right to
?rant the woman the right to
cote," he continued.
It is said that if the women fail
in their attempt to secure any action
by the convention that they will car
ry the fight before the next general
assembly
Woman's suffrage would be interesting
in South Carolina. What bearing
would it have on State politics?
This is the question that is troubling
many. The politicians donY know
what effect it would have, but it is
safe to say that many of them will
be ready to climb the bandwagon
when the procession starts.
GIRL LOSES HER LIFE.

front side and forgetting that the
gun was against the back door opened
the door and the gun was discharged.
The contents penetrated

possible was given her but
the physicians could not save her
young life. She died at 6 a. m. yesterday.

when the closing hour will
be 4 o'clock, p. m. 2t.
ALLEGED ROBBER KILLED.

DOG BIT TWO CHILDREN.
Animal Had^Rabies?Little Victims
Under Treatment.
Florence, March 18.?Several days
ago a pet dog belonging to Mr. L.
K. Blackmon, of the Ebenezer sec-*
tion, became vicious and bit two of
his children, Leon and Edward.
Nothing was thought of the matter
at the time, but two or three days
later the dog died.
Fearing that the dog may have
been mad. Mr. Blackmon cut the
dog's head off and sent it to the Pasteur
Hospital at Columbia to have it
tested. Saturday Mr. Blackmon received
a letter from the hospital, saying
that the dog had a genuine case
of rabies, and Mr. Blackmon at once
took the necessary precaution and
sent both children to Columbia, in
charge of Mrs. Blackmon, where they
will be treated. Mr. Blackmon is a
hustling young farmer and this blowis
a heavy one to him and his family.
