IS GUI STjLL MORE IMPORTANT REDUCTIONS MADE IN STEEL AND IRON. COTTON AND SILK RATES OP Chairman Simmons Lays the Revised Measure Before the Democrats of the Senate. Washington.—Important reductions in the Underwood tariff bill rates on iron, steel and other metal products; the addition of cattle, wheat, pig Iron, Angora wool, and many other articles to the free list; and an increase in rates on many classes of cotton goods and some silk products, were the chief features of the revised tariff bill as it was laid before senate dem ocrats by Chairman Simmons of the finance committee. After weeks of work in which every item had undergone close scrutiny by subcommittees of the majority membership of the finance committee, the redrafted measure was brought into the democratic caucus. For two hours the import ant changes were explained to demo crats and the bill then was made public. Experts of the committee at once began work on a comprehensive summary of the charges. Wilson’s Desires Prevail. President Wilson’s -desires as to free sugar in 1916 and free wool at once prevailed in the redraft of the bill. In the general level of its rates the “Simmons’ bill" represents a heavier cut from existing rates of the Payne-Aldrich law than did the bill as it passed the house. rhe senate caucus adjourned early and members spent the afternoon working out private analysis of the measure. Senate leaders believe the bill will reach the senate itself late next week. Members of the finance committee expressed the belief that there would not be much revision in the caucus. The chief interest, of course, centers on wool and sugar, hut administra tion leaders believe that there will be no change in them and that all but two, or perhaps three senators, will take the pledged binding themselves to support the bill. “This is one of the few times,” said Senator Gore, "when a tariff bill has come from a senate committee with lower rates than the house had prepared. We have materially re duced nearly every schedule except cotton.” Prices Highest In 1912 for Vears. Washington, D.

Food as a group increased 6.2 per cent, the most pronounced increase being in corn meal, 27.9 per cent, and canned toma toes, 27.1 per cent. Farm products increased 5.7 per cent, the principal increase being in sheep, 24 per cent, and cattle, 29.4 per cent. Floods Do Damage Near Denver.

LIKE THE NEW WORK1 _ CONVICTS REGARD CHAIR MAX. ING PLEASANT WORK AT PEN. FILE REPORT OF EXPENSES “Lobbyists" Tell of Expenditures Made at the Last Session of Legislature. Lincoln.—Forty chairs a day is the aggregate output of the Nebraska pen itentiary's newest industry. Fifty men are now at work in the chair factory and although the industry has only been installed a year, the men are experts at their business. Raw material, consisting of rattan strips is unloaded in one door of the shop. Finished chairs, stools and ta bles, painted and varnished, make their exit from the other door. All work from fashioning the framework of the chair, of the table or of the stand, to weaving about it the rattan strips, and finally decorating it with paint and with varnish is done by the prisoners. More fascinating than the making of brooms, much easier than workng under the sun in the farm fields, con siderably lighter than wheeling stone and other material to be used in the construction of the new dining hall, the chair work is the most popular among the convicts of ail activities of the prison. The men like the work, the weaving of artistic designs ap peals to them. The foreman of the shop outlines the model to be followed. The pattern ts then turned over to the men in charge of the steaming apparatus where the stiff pieces of the mater ial are bent into shape. The pieces are then turned over to another workman who fastens them together in the framework of the chair. From there the model passes from one pris oner to the other, going down a long line. One man binds^the rattan about the framework, -another weaves in the back, a third the bottom, a fourth puts on a few artistic touches about the arms. Wheu the chair has pass ed the length of the line, it is com plete. It then journeys to the paint ers. When the paint and varnish j are dried, the chair is crated ready j tor shipment. The chair factory has been in oper- . ation just a year. At first but a few men were employed there, usually the : overflow from the broom shops. [ Gradually, however, the number has j increased until fifty men are kept steadily employed. Lobbyists File Report. Lincoln.—The lobbyists are having their turn at filing expense accounts with the secretary of state. Frank Ranson of Omaha says that he spent nothing in his efforts to make the legislators see things in the interests of the people and the public welfare. He represented .the South Omaha stock yards. J. X. Redfern of the Burlington railroad expended $17.45 at the lobby ing game, invested principally for food and other things. O. W. Holdrege, general manager of the 'Burlington, says that there were 107 bills pertaining to the Bur lington and he paid Judge Jesse L. Root $900 to see that these bills went the right way. In addition to this he spent $1,949.01 for stenogra phers, witnesses, postage stamps and the like. Judge Root admits that he received the. $900 from the Burlington railway, a like amount from the Union Pacific, $173.51 from the Rock Island. $263.16 from the Missouri Pacific and $763.33 from the Northwestern as attorney fees and expenses in giving advice to the committees of the legislatures as to what the railroad wanted. E. G. Flynn of the Burlington in vested $213.95 in the work of lobby ing. Charles Ware, general manager of the Union Pacific, expended $3, 331.76 as payment of expenes of wit nesses, stenographers, attorney fees and other necessary items incident to the business of the railroads before the legislatures. John V. Anderson, assistant super intendent of the Union Pacific, says there were 134 bills which were of in terest to the railroad he represented. He paid out $482.75 trying to carry on the work of the lobbyist, $365 of which was spent for hotel bills. $52. 75 for telephone messages and $G5 for incidentals. ' S. M. Braden, general superintend ent of the Northwestern, donated $2, 769.10 to the cause, which included attorney fees, feed hotel expenses for witnesses and other minor items.

Lincoln.—Nebraska farmers and re form sportsmen are interested in the fate of the prairie chicken.

Berlin.—History and nature collabo rated to make the Rhine from May ence to Cologne a river of remarkable beauty. Nature has been permitted to sustain its own reputation, and his tory resides with romance in crumb ling ruins that overspread the crests of craggy heights below which the modern river steamers pass. From its source in the white crowned Alps the Rhine runs down to Ae North sea. One takes steamer at Mayence or at Cologne and journeys from thence to the other. Castles and cathedrals, the legends and the his tory that hang their glamour about moated walls and rose-windows, the story of the Lorelei and the sight of the rock that sustains the legend—-all Landmark on the Rhine. enrich the traveler's experience. The Seven mountains offer the best scenery ot the Rhine country. There are numerous excursions to be made in the neighborhood, most of them on foot, if carriages are found—as soms times happens—to be too expensive. Only the Dracheufels and the Peters berg can be ascended by rail. Not far above Konigswinter, the steamer reaches Andernach, an old Ro- j man colony. There is a cathedral of ! beauty and a view worth a weary jour- ! nev to obtain. Coblenz is situated just j half the distance between Cologne and ! Mayence at the confluence of the Rhine and the Moselle, and from it Ems is but half an hour by rail. Cob lenz has mapy remarkable sights, es pecially the magnificent monument to •he emperor William I. and the Castle of Stolzenfels. Arenberg, a monastery, on the other side of the Rhine, is to be reached by an electric railway from Ehrenbreitstein. opposite Coblenz. FISHES HIT THE LIQUOR LAW Mackerel Sold In Delaware Carry Bot tles Inside of Them for Thirsty Ones. ! Wilmington, Del.—A new industry to overcome local option conditions in lower Delaware has developed at Lewes, and at the Delaware breakwa ter. Mackerel fishermen from New England ports are supplying the “dry" section with liquor by selling pints and half-pints concealed in mackerel. “Buy a fish and get a big drink,” is the slogan of the fishermen, and it is netting them considerable money. When Governor Miller recently ap proved an act prohibiting the ship ! ment of liquor into Kent and Sussex counties, “dry” sections, the bibulous residents of Lewes and vicinity be came alarmed. The Webb bill had previously stopped interstate ship ments. Ingenious Yankees on a mackerel boat from New England laid in a large supply of liquor before reaching Dela ware and opened a large number of ! fish and placed bottles of liquor inside, i 'the fish "and contents" were offered for sale. There was soon a big demand for the fish, and other mackerel fishermen learned of the plan and emulated it. LOST NEBRASKA CITY FOUND Ruin* of the Ancient Town of Qui vera of Tradition Skirt the Loup River. Omaha, Neb.—The ancient city of Quivera. for which the Spaniards, un der the command of Francisco Vas quez Coronado searched diligently some four hundred years ago, it is said, has been discovered. A party i of leading western scientists and archaeologists, headed by Dr. Robert F. Gilder of this city, is already plan ning to make extensive excavations ! and explorations next summer. The ruins of this ancient city skirt the ; Loup river in Nebraska for several miles. While it had been known for j years that Quivera was somewhere in Nebraka, it was not until Doctor Gilder and his associates completed a series of excavations that the exact location of the old Spanish settlement was found. ' A farmer near Kiverron, -veD,. aug up an old stirrup, which looked so j strange to him that he sent it to the ! state museum. The head of the state archaeological department found that both in shape and material it was like those used centuries ago by Moors and Spaniards. It had been made on a blacksmith's anvil, and the blows of the hammer were vet visible. . -i Invents Soldier Substitute. Copenhagen.—An automaton invent- j ed by a Danish engineer may replace , soldiers. It may be buried in the ground for years, doing no damage un til operated by electricity.

Solved the Mystery Comrade Bill Thompson tells a story of bad writing that ranks with the Greeley classics. When he worked on a Philadelphia paper Julius Kaufman, a Dane, wrote very clever, forceful, pungent editorials. Kaufman's Eng lish was impeccable, but his writing was impossible. It seemed to have been done with a bent pin and an as phalt mixture. George Kennedy was the only man on the copy desk who could read it. One day Kennedy came to Thompson, shaking his head. "It's all off," said he. "I've lost my punch. I read this thing of Kaufman's with perfect ease until I got half way through—and then I stuck. 1 don’t know why. The second half of his stuff looks just like the first half, but I can't read it.” Thompson took that manuscript ever to a corner. By and by Thomp son came back with lines of strain around his mouth. “Put it up to Kaufman,” said he.
