EXTRA CONGRESS
PRESIDENT LIKELY TO MAKE A
CALL FOR SAME.
DATE WILL BE NOVEMBER NINTH
Additional Four Weeks to Be Devoted
to Cuban Treaty, with Ample Scope
for Tariff Discussion Rural Free
Delivery Matters.
WASHINGTON It now seems to
be certain that President Roosevelt
will call congress in extraordinary ses
sion November 9. The extra session
will be called for action upon the Cu
ban treaty. The president has in
formed congressional visitors recently
of his intention to call congress to
gether in extra session on the date
mentioned. This will give congress
nearly a month to work in before the
date for the regular session. The
first Monday, in December, fixed by
lav for the regular session to begin,
falls on December 7 this year. By
beginning on November 9 there will
be plenty of time to dispose of the
Cuban tariff matter. The program
of the republican leaders in congress
will be, unless there is a change in
their present intentions, to permit the
democrats all the opportunity they de
sire during the extra session to dis
cuss questions of tariff and reciproc
ity and kindred subjects. After the
regular session begins little opportu
nity will be allowed and- republican
leaders and committees will work to
gether to prevent tariff taking up any
time or hold any place of importance
in legislative business. What the pol
icy and attitude of tne party will be
on tariff in the presidential election
will depend on future developments.
Rural Delivery.
A great deal of wild talk has been
indulged in during the past few weeks
as to the probability of congress aban
doning the whole rural free delivery
service as a result of the postofnee
scandals. That such talk is absurd
is easy to understand when it is re
membered that every member of the
house whose district is not confined
to a large city i3 directly interested
in the maintenance and growth of the
rural free delivery service. It may be
true that routes have been establish
ed in districts which were not entitled
to them when the population and pos
tal business were consiGered, but on
the other hand, all members repre
senting rural populations have been
tarrred with the same stick. Politi
cal lines have never been drawn in
the establishment of rural routes, and
during the past two years when con
gress was in session runy 10 per cent
of the absentees could have been dis
covered In the headquarters of the
rural free delivery service urging
upon the superintendent the necessity
of consideration of routes in which
each Individual was directly interest

CALLS KANSAS LEGISLATURE
Governor of State Directs It to As
semble on June 24.
TOPEKA, Kan. Governor Bailey
has issued the following proclamation
calling together the legislature in spe
cial session:
"Whereas, The recent floods have,
in addition to the destruction of vast
amounts of property, swept away nu
merous bridges, the immediate re
building of which is imperative, but
for which no adequate law exists,
thereby bringing about an extraordi
nary occasion within the meaning of
the constitution authorizing a special
session of the legislature.
"Now, therefore, I, W. J. Bailey,
governor of the state of Kansas, by
virtue of the authority vested in me
by the constitution, do hereby con
vene the legislature of the state of
Kansas in special session at the capi
tal, in the city of Topeka, on Wednes
day, June 24, 1903, at 2 o'clock p. m.,
for the purpose of enabling counties
and other municipalities to build nec
essary bridges.
"In witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the state this
17th day of June, 1903.

TO ATTACK THE STRONGHOLD.
Castro Sends Force of 4,000 to Fight
General Rolando.
CARACAS, Venezuela. The gov
ernment has decided to attack by land
and from the river Orinoco the town
of Cuidad Bolivar, which is still in the
hands of the revolutionary general,
Rolando, the only lieutenant of Gen
eral Matos, who has fled to the island
of Curacao and who possesses an
army of about 2,000 with guns and
ammunition.

where they will join a sea force of
3,400 men. After the junction of the

MANNA IS NOT A CANDIDATE.
Reiterates His Declaration that He Is
Not After Vice Presidency.
CLEVELAND rn an interview
Senator M. A. Hanna reiterated his
recent statement that he was not and
would not be a candidate for the vice
presidency and if his nomination was
made that he would decline to accept.
He said further that his ambitions did
not lie in that direction of the White
House and nothing could induce him1
to alter his decision In the matter.
Colonel Myron T. Herrick, whose
name also has been mentioned in con
nection with the vice presidency, said
that his sole political ambition was to
be elected governor of Ohio. Colonel
Herrick thinks that the present dis
cussion relative to a vice presidential
nomination is inopportune.

AS TO THE CROPS
CORN REPORTED IN MORE FA
VORABLE CONDITION.
THIS APPLIES TO THE WEST
By the Lakes and in the East the Out
look is Not So Encouraging Need
of Moisture Reported in Some Lo
calities. WASHINGTON The weather, bu
reau's weekly summary of crop con
ditions is ?-s follows:
While still too cool in the districts
east of the Rocky mountains, the tem
perature conditions of the week end
ing June 22 were somewhat more fa
vorable in the central valleys and
southern states, but over portions of
the lake region and middle Atlantic
states and in New England it was
colder than in the preceding week.
Heavy rains in the two last named
districts interrupted farm work, but
In the Ohio and upper Mississippi val
leys and gulf states the conditions
were very favorable for cultivation.
Rain is now needed in the Dakotas,
northern Minnesota and in portions
of the central and east gulf states.
The conditions on the Pacific- coast
were generally favorable, but in the
coast sections of Oregon work was de
layed by rain, while rains are needed
in the eastern portions of both Oregon
and Washington.
A general improvement in the con
dition of corn in the central valleys is
Indicated, especially over the western
portions. In the lake regions, New
England and middle Atlantic states
little or no improvement in this crop
is noted. In all northern and central
districts corn continues very late, but
is in a good state of cultivation, ex
cept in the middle Atlantic states.
In the southern states early corn is
largely laid by and is nearing matur
ity in Texas.
Winter wheat harvest has made fa
vorable progress and is now general
In the central portions of the winter
wheat belt, with disappointing yields,
especially in the southern portions of
Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. In the
middle Atlantic states a general im
provement is indicated. Harvest is
general in California, with nearly av
erage yields in most sections. In
Oregon and Washington some im
provement is noted, but the crop is In
need of rain in the eastern portion of
these states.
Spring wheat is suffering for rain
In North Dakota and portions of South
Dakota and is affected by rust quite
generally in Nebraska. In these two
last named states, however, the crop,
as a rule, is doing well, and in Minne
sota, Wisconsin and Iowa continues
In promising condition. In Washing
ton the crop has improved, where
moisture has been sufficient, but will
be materially shortened in central
counties and also in eastern Oregon
unless rain comes soon.
The outlook for oats is less promis
ing in the Dakotas, Nebraska, noZ
ern Minnesota, Missouri and southern
Illinois. In Wisconsin, Kansas, on up
lands in Iowa and in northern Illinois
a good crop Is promised.

BRIGHTEST OF YALE STUDENTS.
Connecticut Youth Comes from Frm
and Wins High Honors.
Frederick E. Pierce, who is called
by professors at Yale the brightest
man the university ever had for a
student, entered that college three
years ago. He had then just come
from his father's farm, near South
Britain. Conn. Toiling behind the
plow and in the fields had not devel
oped grace of carriage. He was sun
burned and his clothes were ill-fitting.
The students regarded him with good
natured amusement.
He haa just $30 tied up in a hand
kerchief when he arrived on the cam
pus. He did odd jobs to support him
seif and studied all the time he was
not working.
In his freshman year he captured
three prizes and the Woolsey scholar
ship, the income from $1,000, for the
best examination in Latin composi
tion. The highest honors the univer
sity accords are believed by the fac
ulty to be his by right.

FRAUD IN INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Investigation of Allotments in the
Oklahoma Reservation.
WASHINGTON, D. C The presi
dent has ordered a thorough investi
gation of the affairs of the Kiowa and
Comanche Indian reservation in Okla
homa, and has appointed Francis E.
Leupp of this city to make the in
vestigation. The inquiry is based on
charges made by certain Kiowa In
dians, including Delis K. Lonewolf, a
Kiowa, living at Hobart, that of the
2,759 allotments made to persons pur
porting to belong to the Kiowa, Co
manche and Apache tribes, under the
act approved June 6, 1900, a number
were illegal and more allotments were
made than there were Indians.

POSTAL EMPLOYES BENEFITTED
The Selling Company Headed by the
Frisco Postmaster and Supported
by Ex-Congressman Loud A Divy
M;ide Among Them.
WASHINGTON. D. C The Post on
Tuesday wjll sav (hat among the mat
ters Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Uristow is Investigating is the
purchase from a California company,
the Postal Device and Improvement
company, of some 17,000 letter de
vices for indicating the hours of col
lection of mail. The invention is that
of the postmaster of San Francisco, it
is said.
It is also said that 7,000 of these
devices originally were ordered at a
cost of $4 of more eac h, or a profit of
luO per cent of cost, and the allega
tion is made that a further order for
10,000 was placed, notwithstanding
the original 7,000 devices were not
used, but were reposing in a store
house. The company controlling the
device was largely made up of Cali
foruia postal employes, and the Post
will say that it is informed that ex
Representative Loud of California,
formerly chairman of the, house com
mittee on postal affairs, took an ac
tive part in their behalf and wrote
several letters urging the device on
the department, and in one of them
said it would be an accommodation to
him If the matter was attended to.
After the company had had difllcul
ty in securing its money for the de
vice, Mr. Loud, the Post will say, ap-
peared at the department in its be-
half, but specifically disclaimed any
interest in the company other than it
was composed of his constituents.
He took the ground that whatever
the necessity or lack of necessity for
the device, constituents of his had
secured the contract and furnished
the articles called for. Therefore he
believed they should be paid as the
government had stipulated to pay
them.
During his recent visit to the city
Mr. Ix)ud, on certain of his visits to
the department, took up some of these
unpaid bills, making it plain, how
ever, that he appeared only in behalf
of constituents and not as one finan
cially interested in the company.
The allegation was made, the Post
will say, that $45,000 of the deficien
cy of the $105,000 in the free delivery
service with which Mr. Machen is
charged, is due to the purchase of the
device in question, but at the post-
office department this was denied and
the statement made that tho matter
was under investigation. Complaints
also have been made, it was stated.
that at the instance of Mr. Loud the
rolls at the Presidio had been padded
with postal employes, but at the post
office department they were without
any knowledge of such a thing one
way or the other.

The Real Cause of the Trouble.
A negro preach'-r down fcouth has
discovered the real cause of the re

earf, my frien's, resolves on axles, as
we all know. Some-fin is needed to
keep the axles greased; so when de
earf was made, petrlyurn was put in

His Heart Out of Place.
With a heart displacement of four
inches downward and one inch to the
left Thomas Hoben, aged 45, of In
dianapolis, still lives, but his death
may result at any time. Hoben was
examined by members of the faculty
of the medical college of Indiana, who
term his ailment aortic regurgitation.
The normal position of the human
heart is one inch to the right of th'j
fifth intercostal space. Hoben's heart
shows by examination that the apex
beat Is four inches below and one Inch
to the left. It is believed this pecu
liar ailment is the result of overwork
in a rolling mill. A severe shock at
any time would undoumcuiy produce
instant death. Me-dical experts vay
that there are a few easels of he-art
displacement of such extent as tb
case of Hoben.

S. Taylor of this place says:
"My little boy had Dropsy. Two
doctors the best In this part of the
country told me ne would never get
better, and to have seen him anyr;no
else would have said they were right.
His feet and limbs were swollen to
that he could not walk nor put on Lis
shoes.
'Wnen the doctors told me he would
surely die, I stopped giving him their
medicine and began giving nim
Dodd's Kidney Pills. I gave him
three pills a day and at the end oC
ejgnt jays the swelling was all gone.
but as I wanted to bo sure, I kept on
with the pills for some time, gradu-;
ally reducing the quantity, till finally
I stopped altogether.
Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved
my child's life. Before using thera he
was a helpless invalid in his mother's-
arms from morning till night. Now
he is a healthy, happy child, running
and dancing and singing.
I can never
express our gratitude,
-Dodd's Kidney Pills entirely cured
