He Declares He Will Vote Against Tariff Bill TAFT ACCUSED BY BAILEY Senator From Texas Declares the President Has Been Indulging In Mock Heroics and That Much Time Has Been Spent In Doing Nothing—Kansas Senator States He Considers It Hls Duty to Keep Payne-Aldrich Measure From the White House.

out accomplishing any important result. The debate on the conference report was opened by Senator Daniel, who claimed that the Democratic senator? on the finance committee had been dealt with unfairly in not being per mitted to vote in committee on the adoption of the report. <<!> Bristow Against the Bill. Senator Bristow denounced the tariff bill as a violation of Republican pledges and announced that he would not vote for it. “Before long I will demonstrate bo., much there has been to do about nothing.” said Senator Bailey, referring t recent statements and acts of th> president. “T think I can make it manifest that the people of the United States hav< been entertained with some mor heroics and that this battle which her been raging here for days and wee 1 :? was nothing more nor less than r sham battle,” he added. "The tax.” said Senator Bristo—“has been taken off of hides and i has been added to the sole leather suit case that the American citizen buys. And yet it had been advertised that a reduction has been made on the leath er schedule for the benefit of the American citizen.” Conferees Called Together. Taking up one after another of the schedules, Bristow undertook to dem onstrate in detail that the Payne bib ftad effected no material reduction in the duties by which the consumers would be benefited. “I love the president,” cor.tlnt.ied Bristow. “He has honored me with his friendship. I am devoted to the welfare of his administration and for one never vote to sena him a bill for approval that is a violation of his party’s pledges.” The conferees were called together once more. The session was for the purpose of listening to western sena tors who say that the leather schedule as arranged by the conferees with the approval of the president, Is unfair to the states interested tn protected hides.

FOUR CORNERS. (Too late for Saturday’s Issue) Wheat threshing'is in full blast, but the wheat Is of a poor grade. They have moved the Wolf Creek bridge east and It will be placed over the Fisher ditch. The Wheatfield Regulars met defeat at the "hands of the North JudsOn Tigers Sunday. Score 8 to 7. Wonder what disposition M. & Jmade of their prospective buyer and his grip full of barley corn Tuesday eve? Oscar Graves started Tuesday eve for Oklahoma to superintend a threshing crew at a salary of $2.50 per day. 1 Trustee John Shirer and F. W. Fisher of Kankakee tp., and John .and Charles Myers of Wheatfield were business callers at Rensselaer Tuesday. Wm. Turner, who is making his home with his sister, Mrs. Rebecca Graves of Tefft, was taken suddenly ill Sunday, but at this writing is some better. Say! Did you order a county atlas? “Hot, Isn’t It?” And those county maps, did you get one of those, too? Keep the tariff on hides and skin the first agent that comes to your place. From The Democrat we learn that few will take the examination to fill the vacancy of postmaster at Aix, on account of the meager salary of near 30 cents per year. Now if the government will guarantee a salary of 69 cents we believe Kankakee tp., could and would produce an applicant.

i Henry Hunsicker, when he arrived i home Saturday eve, found the table loaded down with good things that go to satisfy the hungry, and a number of his neighbors to extend their good wishes and welcome his new bride to her new home and surroundings.

Fisher and wife. Rev. Robt. Mannan I accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Hunslckler from Owen county. | Henry Hunsicke/ quietly departed a. m., dressed in his best, ; for—no one knew w here or for what purpose. After sporting around unj til Saturday evening he arrived at home accompanied by a lady whom he Introduced to his neighbors and . friends as Mrs. Hunsicker, who formerly was a Miss Stephens of Ow-en county. Henry had been making i frequent visits to that section of the 'state but was supposed to have no other attraction there than to visit his father, who is now’ quite feeble. I But you never can tell, perhaps Henry has been lamenting over the political conditions of Kankakee tp., ['and has made resolutions to do what he can to place his township in the democratic coluinn once more. While we admit it would also please ■us to see this change made, w r e have come to the conclusion that our efforts w’ould all be in vain, for our opponents have been quietly at work and have a decided lead.

CURED HAY FEVER AND SUMMER COLD. A. S. Nusbaum, Batesville, Indiana, writes: “Last year I suffered for three months with a summer cold so distressing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symptoms of hay fever, and a doctor’s prescription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines which seemed only to aggravate it. Fortunately I insisted upon having Foley’s Honey and Tar. It quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley’s Honey and Tar with the same success. A. F. Long.
