$5 a year on each fire insurance company -
ny doing business in such city or village -
lage , for the benefit and support of
volunteer fire departments. The state
officers have been appealed to for in-
formation.

preme court is now on. The most important -
portant case to be heard is the contro-
versy between State Auditor Eugene
Moore : and the Farmers' Mutual Insur-
ance company of Lincoln. A large
portion of the interest in this case ,
however , has been removed by stipulations -
tions which have left as the only issue
to be determined whether or not the
company has a right to accept promis-
ory notes for policies in lieu of cash.

in Regard to BOnd Sales , Fed

Corruption , Etc.
WASHINGTON , May : : 2-r - - As soon as
the journal had been read in the
House this morning Mr. Howard , Pop
ulist of Alabama , whose seat is in a
remote corner of the hall , arose dramatically -
matically from a seat in the middle
aisle , the use of which he had bor-
rowed temporarily. Flourishing a .
paper ; in his hand , he demanded to be . ,
heard on the resolution , which he sent
to the clerk's desk and had read as
follows :
" 1 do impeach Grover Cleveland ,
President of the United States , of high
crimes and misdemeanors on the following -
lowing grounds :
"First - That he has sold , or directed
the sale of bonds , without authority
of law.
"Second-That he sold or aided in
the sale of bonds at less than their
market ) value.
"Third - That he directed the misappropriation -
appropriation of the proceeds of said : ;
bond sales.
"Fourth - That he directed the Sec
retary of the Treasury to disregard
the laws which make United States : :
notes and certificates redeemable in
coin.
"Fifth-That he has ignored and
refused to have enforced the 'anti-trust
law. '
"Sixth - That he has sent United
States troops into the state of Illinois
without the authority of law in viola
tion of the constitution.
"Seventh - That he has corrupted
politics through the interference of
federal office holder '
"Eighth - That he has used the appointing -
pointing power to influence legislation
detrimental to the welfare of the peo-
ple , therefore , be it
"Resolved , By the House of Repre
sentatives , that the committee on Ju
diciary be directed to ascertain
whether these charges are true ,
and if so to report to the House such
action impeachment or otherwise
as shall - be proper in the premises ,
and said committee shall have author-
ity to send for persons and papers. "
When the clerk ceased reading , Mr.
Howard , who still stood ready to ad-
dress the House , was suddenly taken
off the iloor by Mr. Dingley , the
leader of the majority , who raised the
question of consideration against the
resolution.
The question was promptly put by
the speaker and by a practically unan-
imous vote the House declined to give
Mr. Howard a hearing.
The chief claim heretofore of Mr. : :
Howard was his notorious book , "If
Christ Came to Congress , " ' in which he
pretended to show up the horrors of
Washington life. lie first appeared
in Washington as an office seeker. He
was born in Georgia in 1802 , and while
working on a farm studied law at
night. He was admitted to the bar of
Alabama at the age of 19 , being the
youngest man ever admitted in the
State. He was chosen city attorney
of Fort Payne and . later was made
prosecuting attorney of the county.
He was chairman of the Democratic
county committee for eight years and
was a delegate to the last Democratic
national convention. Because he
could not get a public office he became
a Populist and , as such , was elected
to the Fifty-fourth Congress , receiving
6,8-38 ; ; votes against 3.452 votes for
George W. Denson , Democrat.

MILLIONS RASHLY VOTED.
I Hirer aril Harbor Bill Shot Through the
i IlniiHO Without Headlu ; ; .
[ WASHINGTONMay : -The" ' Phillips
labor commission bill , which was to
i have come to a vote in the house yes-
I terday under the special order was
completely crowded out by the con
I ference reports on the river and harbor -
hoe and sundry civil bills. The bill
I will now go over until next week.
The conference report on the river
and harbor bill , which reported an
agreement on all the items save that
relating to the Santa Monica [ and San
Pedro harbors , California , was made
I the basis of a very bitter attack on
the bill by Messrs. Hepburn , Repub
lican , of Iowa , and Dockery , Demo
crat , of Missouri. The latter said he
opposed this measure because it con-
tained extravagant appropriations not
warranted by the condition of the
treaoul'Be ! said he realized his remarks -
marks would not be punctuated with
applause. "We are all in nn it , " he
ad ed sarcastically , amid laughter.
Mr. Dockery"s remarks about the
"impoverished : treasury" and his appeals -
peals to the people were received with
derisive jeers by the Republicans. At
the conclusion of his time Mr. : : Hooker
offered to yield him fifteen minutes
more if he would point out a single
item in the bill that was not justified
by the engineer reports. ( Loud ap
plause. ) The challenge brought Mr.
Hepburn , Republican , to his feet , with
a scathing . speech against the bill.
This bill , said he , had been passed
by a brutal majority without debate ,
and he made the assertion that not a
section of the bill had ever been read
in the House. Not in the history of
the country had been known such
villainous legislation. Seventy-five
millions carried in a bill , not a para-
graph of which was ever read or con
sidered. After such : a : procedure gen-
tlemen now had the , assurance to ask
its opponents to point out its multi-
plied iniquities.
"Shame , shame , " he cried. "Shame
upon such false e.Vhy did
you force the bill through in forty
minutes if you were not too cowardly
to face investigation ? " Mr. Hepburn ,
continuing sharply , criticised the
work of the Mississippi river commis
sion.

Mr. Hooker's motion to adopt the
conference report was agreed to - IS'J

1 have . had things their own way , and
have defeated the friends the single
gold standard wherever a contest was
made. The results so far indicate a
solid free silver delegation to Chicago ,
although the friends of the natioual
administration are working hard for
representation in " ' - . tjele aton. :

A Child Succumb nt Reserve
Deaths Near Seneca.
" SENECA , Kan. : , May \ 21. : - The death , I
list of the great tornado of Sunday 1 '
, evening is now placed at twenty-six : , .
i 2-year-old blind son of John l j'n- ,
: tiers of Reserve having died yesterday- /
Daniel Saylor and Mrs. [ Meisuer \ , at.
first reported dead , are still alive , but r * ' .
the names of Mr. and lira Joseph Y
Kotte. living northeast of here , have- i j.
been added to the list. Several of" ,
the injured are in a critical condition. 1
The work of repair and rebuilding
has been begun in all of the towns
visited by the storm and : the dead ani- i
I mays on the farms are being buried- t
I and debris being removed. The people
t pIe everywhere are far from de -
spondent.
When the storm struck the farm. i
house of Joseph Kotte , northeast of :
here , the building was lifted up and 1
then dashed to the ground and demol (
ished. Mrs. : : Kotte was instantly killed ,
but the babe in her arms was ruin-
jured. Kotte was terribly injured and - :
died yesterday. The couple left four
children , who will be well cared for.
The four children killed here were
buried yesterday : , a great crowd going
to the funeral. ,
Iowa ratriit OHlc-o Krport. '
T. S. Ballew , of Stuart , In. , has been
allowed a patent for a campaign badge j
in the form of a bee adapted to be
readily fastened to the lapel of a coat.
On the wings are fixed the portraits of
candidates in such a manner that they '
are concealed when the wings are fold-
ed , but pressing a detent . the wings
are expanded and the portraits and
sentiments of the wearer Hashed upon
observers.
In view of the histories of some for-
mer presidents and numerous candi
dates " the following copied from the
Iowa patent oflice business circular
seems to be apropos.
HO O\HI.I : AND CASTING ; PA'.Ii ' : .
To reach and occupy the position of
president of the United States is jren-
erally regarded as the acme of Ameri
can honor and fame. But the position ;
alone does not assure true honor of
lasting fame. If a man who attains
that position has a taint upon him the
otiice - of president can not remove it.
If he is corrupt , incompetent or unfaithful -
'
faithful his prominent position serves ,
to make his disgrace. "Jimmy" Bu
chanan and "Andy" Johnson can bo
named as examples of the truth of our
I words. The chances of becoming
president : ! is as one to many millions ,
very small. The chances of getting
corrupt and disgraced in a pil'into. : -
the presidency seems to be in the re-
verse . order , very large. AVe therefore- - 1
wish to direct American youths to a
broader and safer road to true honor
and lasting fame. The rapid increase
of our population demands thousands
of new inventions for the necessities of I ,
our rnultiplyincr millions.
To 1'C the author of a machine that , 3
will give aid , comfort and delight ! i to- ' 11 ; .
the present : : and coming generations
ma\- be a nobler triumph than to win c
-
a presidental race. It is a hope , too-
that many may realize. The ambition
'
of the humble mechanic that looks for
honor and fame by seeking to give tho-
world benefaction in the of r
a shape an 1
invention is far above the "infatua-
tion" which ruins "presidential candi >
dates. : ' The names of American inventors -
' , and will be
ventors public benefactors - t
. +
revered when the names of some of ,
our presidents and won Id-be presi
dents will be forgotten , or only remembered -
membered with indifference , regret or
contempt.

ing , valuing and selling patents : sent

eyes. "
