The "arrasngement was that they were to

and they have been very busy administer

Clock Three Centuries old.
RIOL'X FALLS, 8. D., May .-(Special.)-Perhaps
the most Interesting and valuable
heirloom In South Dakota Is owned by
James Kelton, a prominent resident of
Henry. It Is In the form of an old clock,
which was sent to htm by a relative In
Massachusetts. The great-great-greatgrandfather
of Mr. Kelton brought the old
clock from Scotland prior to the year 1833.
Thus the old timepiece Is known to be over
275 yeare old. An Interesting feature of the
matter Is that the old clock Is yet running
and keeps as accurate time aa any new
and modern clock. Naturally the clock Is
regarded Vy Mr. Kelton as priceless and Is
considered his most valuable possession.

MAY LOWER FLAG OF TRUCE
Peace Now HoTering- Over Senate
May Change to Open Hostility.
i
I0WANS HEADED EASTWARD

Flabt at National Capital
Aldrlch la Ala eerln
Ike Goal.
WASHINGTON, May t.-fnder a flag of
truce, hostilities between the conservative
and progressive republicans of the senatu
over the administration railroad bill have
ceased temporarily. They will be renewed
probably when Senators Cummins and Dol
llver return Thursday from Iowa, where
they have gone to open the campaign. Sen
ator Aldrlch la expected to return from
Rhode Island Tuesday. If he should at
tempt to precipitate a vote on any Im
portant amendment Senators JaFollette
and Clapp will undertake to hold the floor.
Meanwhile the White House will be the
scene of the real activities, Presldnt Taft
having undertaken to bring into line some
of the so-called "near Insurgents" whose
attitude on the railroad bill has been a
matter of doubt. That work was begun
yesterday and It was claimed that Sena
tors Gamble and Crawford of South Da
kota would Join the forty-five regular re
publicans previously canvassed, making the
necessary "all republican majority" for the
administration program.
'While an understanding was reached In
the house that the vote on the railroad
bill would be taken TUesdayi It now seems
certain that the democrat will seek to
have the bill recommitted with Instruc
tions that the sections for the creation of
a court of commerce be eliminated. The
vote, it Is conceded, will be close.
In the senate the long and short haul
provision Is the Immediate subject of con
troversy, but la receiving little more at
tention than the stock and bond sections
which come further along In the bill and
which are far more puzzling. Tho presi
dent and the attorney general are pressing
for their retention and, inclined to accedo
to their demands, the regular republicans
will make a stand for the sections. Some
of the regulars, however, would be pleased
If they were eliminated.
Among those who are understood to
doubt the wisdom of their retention are
Senators A Id rich, Elklns and Root, all of
whom concede the possibility of legal com
plications over their conflict with state
I laws. They are not disposed to yield, how
ever, and Attorney General Wlckersham
Is represented as being willing to vouch
tor the validity of the provisions.
Matter of Haala.
No especial effort is being made to hold
republicans In line against the long and
short haul amendment. It Is generally
recognized that local conditions are such
that many of the senators from the In
terior states cannot avoid supporting this
provision. But the regulars count con
fidently upon making up among the demo
crats the losses on their own side of the
chamber. Conceding the probable los of
nineteen votes from that side In favor
of the amendment they say will get fif
teen democrats in opposition to the provi
sion. Their contention is that most of the dem
ocratic senators whose states skirt the At
lantic, Paclflo and Gulf coasts, aa well a
some of those along the Mississippi, will
antagonize the provision. If they get the
fifteen democratic votes and hold the forty
republicans they will have a majority of
eight
The nineteen republican votes which it
Is expected will be caat for the amendments
are those of Senators Beverldge, Borah,
Brlstow, Brown, Butkett, Carter, Clapp,
Crawford, Cummins, Curtis, Dixon, Dol
llver. Gamble, Guggenheim, Heyburn, La
Follette, Nixon, Smoot and Sutherland. The
J supporters of the provision also hope to get
Senator Jones' vote.
Prealdeat'a Attitude.
The president la said to be urging repub
lican senators to keep the long and short
haul question out of the bill, but Is not
making It a test of party loyalty. I-e takes
the position that most of the amendments
suggested would have the effect of plac
ing railroad charges purely on a mileage
basis. Refusing to concede that such would
be the result, the proponents declare their
conviction that if the provision should be
Inserted he would not veto the bill on that
account, as has been asserted he would do.
On other points they find the president
most Insistent upon maintaining strict party
discipline. Senator Brandegee, who Is
among the staunchest of the stalwarts, is
reported by his colleagues as having ad
vised the chief executive to "quit kissing
off the Insurgents," and "to get out his
tomahawk," and the president Is said to
have expressed no disapproval of the sug
gestion. President Taft will be absent from Wash
ington the early part of the week on a visit
to New York and Passaic, N. J.

Game Warden George Lincoln has- con

ridges, to be distributed over the state,

Mr. Lincoln plans to distribute them
among the ninety counties of the state in
such a way that each county will have
fifty pairs, placed In bunches of about a
dozen pair In a locality. Besides stocking

BISHOP
WILLIAMS
CONFIRMS
Larae Class of Children Presented by
Paator of St. Barnaba'a.
Bishop Williams of the'Eplscopal diocese
of Nebraska admlftlsWrVo" 'confirmation to
a large class Sunday 'morning at 11 o'clock,
at St. Barnabas' church, Nineteenth and
California streets. Rev. John Williams, the
rector of the church presented the class to
the bishop and assisted at the . service,
which was high mass with music by the
boy choir.
The musical program Consisted of Bat-
terson Haynes' mass, the "Nunc dlmittls,"
to the muslo of the Gregorian chant, and
the "Gloria In Excelsls Deo," to the old
chant. Dudley Buck's "Rock of Ages" was
given as the offertory.
Bishop Williams announced no text for
his sermon, but preached on "The Gift of
the Holy Ghost." He spoke particularly of
the tendency of Christian people to neglect
those gifts which God has given to man.
He said that these gifts when properly de
veloped result in the Joy of spiritual life.
He said that it is often the case that
Christian people who have been taught the
value ot the spiritual life during their
youth ,have neglected every opportunity for
its development until the individual be
came hardened to the will of God, and had
developed Into a parasite feeding on the
goodness of his Creator.
The bishop urged those who were con
firmed and the others present In the church
not to neglect the opportunities constantly
presented to them for religious advance
ment, saying that happiness would result
from following the teachings of Christ. He
closed with a prayer that the members of
the confirmation class should develop
spiritually more and more until God called
them to eternal rest.

WOMAN, OltKAT HOME M A KKH
Rev.
K. If. Jenks 1'reuekre on the
Topic of Woman's Power.
"At the head of the scroll of good and
gieat deeds shall appear the names of
women who have been true home-makers,"
said Rev. 10. II. Jenks at the First Pres
byterian church Sunday morning. The
subject of his sermon was "A Urcat
Womun," from the text, II Kings lv:8.
"Somo there are who say there has been
no great or enduring work that hns come
from the hand of woman, neither in paint
ing, literature, sculpture or construction,"
said he. "Others have said that woman
Is Inferior to man. When Christ came He
gave some different Ideas as to woman
hood. His coming was in an age when the
fighting qualities of men were at their
height. The Romans had just shortened
the sword fur the first time, that they
might come In closer reach of their ene
mies. It was an age of strength and cour
age. "Christ said: 'Blessed are the peace
makers.' He taught that all the great
qualities of men were not in the strengtli
of their arms, but in those powers com-
I monly attributed to women, patience, meek
ness, contentment and enduranoe. It Is In
these qualities ihtit woman stands' alone
like a rock buffeted by the anry sea.
Great are the peiwers of endurance of
womanhood. Great in suffering, great in
self-sacrifice .and great in devotion. Tho
greatest heroes of the wars that have dis
turbed mankind vre the women, the moth
ers who maintained Inviolate their lonely
homes, cared for their children, wrought
for their sustenance while their natural
protectors were away in battle.
"But greatest of all is the home-maker.
Men like to face hard things, they enjoy
battle. But woman is the guardian of the
truest and "best In life the home. She
cannot drive, but she can gently lead men.
There la no power on earth like this homo
making power of woman.
"No man was great but he had a great
mother. The source from which comes the
best In mankind ia from home, from
mother. The greatness of a nation is not
founded upon Its militant strength, but
upon the morality that has Its origin In
the homes of its people. What cannot a
woman do in the home?
" 'What X am I owe to my mother,' said
Lincoln.
"Great and mighty names will adorn the
scrolls of human achtpvenients, but at the
head of all of them will appear the names
ot women who have been true home
makers." Meat Riots In Detroit.
DETROIT. May 9. An uprising against

morning In the rooms of Omaha aerie No.
38, at Fourteenth and Harney streets, to
honor departed brothers. The joint memor

200.
Matthew Gerlng delivered the memorial
address and eloquently presented the
thought that the departed, although
mourned by loved ones, were secure in
contentment which comes with the peace
of death. He said that birth was the
tragedy of life, while death was the end
of the tragedy.
"Our great Christian religion eases the
pain of death, for in it we have faith,"
said the speaker. "When our loved ones de
part from us this faith bears us up and
we are secure in the belief that all is
well.
"Although monuments mark the resting
place of the great, and people gaze In awe
at them and contemplate the great deeds
that were performed no greater homage,
no greater expression of love can be of
fered than here In this assemblage of
friends and relatives met together in mem
