Cleeve, an Englishman who was (he first
white settler at Portland Me., having set
tled there as fnr back as 1032. This remote
ancestor of his wan a wealthy man, but suc
ceeding fenerations had lost all the good
things of tho world old Cleeve gathered
round him and Mr. Reed parents were
poor working folk In Portland. Still they
managed to give him an education such as
eldom falls to the lot of the humble, send
ing him successively through the grammar
chool, the Portland High school and Dow
doln college, whence he graduated In i860.
These, the early days of his life,, are
full of Incidents which the old folk of
"Portland still delight to tell concerning
the man who was afterward in the running
for the presidential nomination.
On leaving college he went to California,
then In the heydey of Its youth where he
taught . school a while and was admitted to
the bar. Of this ceremony an amusing story
Is remembered. It was In the mldd'e of
the civil war and the constitutionality of
the legal tender act was seriously ques
tloued. Some of the greatest lawyers dis
agreed and when Reed offered himself for
examination Judge Wallace, in a aomewhat
quizzical manner, asked him if he had ever
studied' law. Reed said he had, In Maine.
Then Judge Wallace asked him:
"Do you think the legal .tender act is
constitutional?" ., ( ; k
"I do." said Reed. ' . ,.'
'Then you shall be admitted," said Judge
Wallace, 'for any man who can answer that
question offhand ought to be allowed to
practice law In California."
A. year later, however, family considera
tions called him back east and he entered
the federal navy ' for the latter part of
the great struggle which was then convuls
ing the country. '
After receiving-his discharge he re-en'
gaged In law, this time In his native state,
and quickly acquired a reputation as a keen
cross-examiner whose questions were at
once direct and Incisive. He was deemed
the star lawyer to corner an obstinate wit
ness or lead an evader Into a needed ad
mission. ' ' (,J''-
He was not left long,' however, in pri
vate life, for only two years had elapsed
after his return from the war before his
townsfolk selected him at their represent
ative In the state legislature.
Start In Polities.
He was a young man then, untried and
Inexperienced, and had to meet much oppo
sition on this score. Still the experiment
proved such., a success that he was con- j
tlnued In various offices until advancing 1
years, in 1899, took him cut of the po- I
lltlcal arena again and relegated him to ,
the gallery of honored onea whose fighting
days were over, but whoBe services were
gratefully remembered In more countries
than one.
In 1870 he became member of the state
senate and attorney general for Maine, and
la 1877 first entered the national bouse.

where he remained until 1899, serving for
seven years of that time as speaker of the
house.
Maine has. always had Influential men In
confess, and has ulwiays followed the
southern custom of kevplng good men when
It got them there, and Reed was no excep
tion to the old rule. His reputation .as a
lawyer was greatly eclipsed by his greater
reputation as a debater. He never made
more than half a dozen prepared addresses
during all his long service,, but his short,
pithy, compact, direct, oftentimes scathing
speechea, in quaint Yankee phraseology,
pointed, bristling and .original, were Innum
erable. He was at his best in them. All
listened. Democrats and republicans .alike
laughed at them, especially when he was
skinning alive some obstreperous or unpop
ular or hypocritical fellow.
But notwithstanding the hard knocks he
gave, ' he made lota of friends and kept
them. He had many warm friendships
among the democrats. Samuel J. Randall
and he were the best of friends.
Wit Wan Spontaneous.
If his epigrams and scattered witticisms
thrown off in the rough-and-tumble debatea
In the house or at dinners or in chats at
the club could be collected they would make
a valuable collection. He coined many
phrases which will live in political nomen
clature. Here are two of the best known
of them:
"A statesman Is a politician who Ik dead."
"The senate is a place that good repre
sentatives go to when ,they die."
One of Reed's replies to Springer of III-
nois. who received many a sharp cut from
him. Is also celebrated. Springer had re
toned to Reed on one occasion that' he
"would ra.ttor ,be right than be president."
' ".You need not be alarmed,": responded
Reed. coolly, "you will never be either."
Slowly but surely he worked his way up
to the proud position of leader of the re
publicans. No one can point to .the exact
time or the exact session when be donned
the mantle, but in the Forty-ninth con
gress he was the candidate of his party
for speaker, and that, perhaps, may bu
taken as the formal acknowledgment that
he was the leading man of bis party in the
lower branch of congress, ,. This indorse
ment was given him, again in the Fiftieth
congress, which, like its predecessor, was
controlled by the democrats. This brings
Reed up to the great culminating point in
his career.
The next house was republican by a
smalt majority and he was elected to the
chair after, a spirited contest with Mc-
Klnley And Cannon. McKlnley, who after
ward became president, and Cannon, who
is now slated tor .the place he unBuccess
fully sought in 1889.
Always SeU-Coatroilea.
During bis occupancy of the chair be
kept his self-control. But It is said that In
the seclusion of the speaker'a private room
he used to relieve his mind freely, emphat
ically and fully with regard to the tactics
which the democrats were pursuing In tile
house. He never manifested the slightest
tear, and, when asked bow he felt about
the turbulent actions of the democratic
minority, said be felt exactly as he would
if a big creature were jumping at him,
and be knew the exact length and strength
of his chain, and were sure of the weapon

KNOCKS OUT INDIAN AGENTS
Home Committee Adopts Commissioner
Jones' Ro"nT'endtion.
MATHEWSON AM0.it, THOSE DROPPED

naerlateneleat.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON.- Dec. (Special Tele
gram.) Along the line of Commissioner
Jones' report to the "secretary of the Inte
rior the house committee on Indian affairs
today decided to report the bill to tho
bouse containing fourteen omissions In
number of Indian agents as compared with
the appropriation bill that passed last ses
sion. It is Commissioner Jones' Intention
wherever possible to knock out Indian
agents and place the agencies In charge ot
bonded school superintendents. The com
missioner contends in his report that the
advance made by certain tribes of Indians
warrants their being placed under school
supervision rather than under political su
pervision. He recommends that farmers
and matrons are more advantageous than
political agents and wherever tribes of In
dians have shown a. disposition to better
their condition be believes in giving them
all the aid possible.
In consequence of this report the homo
committee today decided to strike out four
teen agents at Indian agencies, tho most
Important ot which Is the Omaha and
Winnebago agency. The following agents
are eliminated from South Dakota: Sis
seton, Crow Creek, Lower Brule and Yank
ton, while the Sac and Fox agent In Iowa
is also discontinued.
Senator Gamble W ill Oppose.
Senator Gamble, speaking today of the
action of the house committee on Indian
affairs, aald that the abandonment ot
agents at Indian agencies would work evil
Instead of good to the tribes of Indians in
terested. "For one I am opposed to the
proposition and will fight It in the senate.
I cannot conceive of a superintendent ot
schools trained along educational lines and
Interested in education primarily being
fitted to conduct the plain .practical busi
ness of an agent. It Is well known that an
educator lacks business qualifications and
while a man may make a good superintend
ent of schools, he may fall as an agent.
The movement to reduce the number ot
Indian agents has been uppermost for some
time and many attempts have been made
along similar lines. When the house com
mittee' last year struck out the agents at
the Sac and Fox agency In Iowa Senator
Allison had the agent restored. Other
agents were discontinued by the bouse
committee and as promptly restored by the
senate. I want to say now that the South
Dakota agents discontinued In the house
bill which will be reported on Monday will
be put back If the senatorial delegation
from South Dakota can bring It about."
Just what action Senator Millard will
take on the determination of the house
Indian affairs committee to discontinue
the agent at the Omaha and Winnebago
agency Is not known. It will be Interest
ing, however, to watch developments, as
the senator Is known to be friendly to
the present agent, C. P. MathewsAn.
Annuities for Santees.
Senator Gamble was at the Indian office
today for the purpose of urging a prompt
report on -the bill for the ' restoration of
annuities for the Bantee Indians. ' The sen
ator asked for a corrected report on Iht)
amount of money due these Indians that
was declared forfeited by the prior report
In which It was stated that these Indians
had been overpaid, apart from the amount
of annuities due them. The senator stated
that he looked for a revised computation
In a very short time, which he expected
would show a large amount due to the
Santees of Nebraska, South Dakota and
Minnesota. He also called at the Interior
department to urge that an adjustment
be made and proper credit given the Sioux
Indians In his state for the amount due.

Senator Dietrich today recommended John
F. Allen tor postmaster at Halgler, Dundy
county, Neb.
Creates New National Park.
Representative Martin of the South Da
kota delegation, under call of committees,
today succeeded in passing Senator Gam
ble's bill setting apart about 10,000 acrea of
land In the state of South Dakota as a pub
lie park to be known as Wind Cave National
park, being lands surrounding that well
known natural formation. The bill provides
that the park thus created shall bs under
the exclusive control ot the secretary of
the Interior until the requirements ot the
bill are carried out. Captain Beth Bullock
ot the Black Hills forest reserve will have
direct supervision over the new park.
The commissioner general ot the land
office today received a petition algned by a
number of citizens of Wind River valley,
Wyoming, protesting against the Incorpora
tlon of certain lands In' their sevdon In the
Teton forest reserve. The lands which they
desire to have left out of the reservation
limits are said to be grazing and not tlm
ber land. Commissioner Hermann will send
a special agent to look the situation over,
Gives Power Federal Caarts.
A bill Introduced by Representative Mar
tin, conferring Jurisdiction on the federal
courts tor offenses committed on Indian
reservations In South Dakota, passed the
house today. It appears that under the ex
lstlng law federal courts cannot take cognl
xance 6f misdeeds committed on Iddtan res
ervations In South Dakms by other than
full-blosded Indians. 'The federal courts
now have no means of punishing halfbreeds

Representative Martin a bill authorizing
the Federal Railroad company to construct
a bridge across the Missouri river st or
near Oacoma, B. D., passed the house to
day. Beaefta Oil Praapeetors.
A bill of great interest to the west, and
especially to the oil sections, was passed
today by Representative Suthervand. The
bill provides that where oil claims are lo
cated under placer mining laws as placer
claims the annual assessment work may be
done upon any one group of five clalma ly
ing contiguous and owned by the same
corporation, providing such" work will tend
to develop or determine the oll-bearlng
character of the contiguous claims. Mr.
Sutherland, In explaining the bill, said that
under the present law there roust be per
formed $100 worth of development work on
each claim. The courts have, however, held
that the annual labor required may be done
pon any one group of claims, providing
be work tends to benefit the entire group.
The bill seeks to benefit oil prospectors and
to save them unnecessary expense by per
mitting an expenditure of $500 on one group
of claims rather than compelling them to
distribute It over all the claims. The bill
has had the backing of Nebraska and Utah
people who are Interested In the develop
ment of the oil lands ot Wyoming.
Thurston Makes a Correction.
Ex-Senator Thurston said today that the
statement made by The Bee in Its editorial
columns that he had gone to Hawaii to rep
resent ex-Queen Ulluokalant was entirely
erroneous; that, on the contrary, he had
neither direct nor indirect association with
the queen In her effort to secure crown
lands and that be desired this statement to
be mads In Justice to himself.

cause. Deputy Coroner Boogher today ren
tiered a. verdict, finding .that she died Of
gasfTO-e-nlrirtrf, rbta' contributory causa of
which he was unable to determine.
Dr. Boogher's decision - followed the re
celpt of a report from Dr. Gradwohl, the
bacteriologist, who stated that he had com
pleted a chemical analysis of Mrs. Smith's
heart, liver, stomach and kidneys, and also
of the embalming fluid which was Injected
into Mrs. Smith's stomach by the under
taker after her death.
"Inasmuch as the embalming fluid con-
alned a considerable amount of arsenous
acid." said Dr. Gradwohl In his report, "ot
course the various organs also contained
arsenous acid. It is therefore Impossible
for me to determine whether the arsenic
was administered before or after Mrs,
SmitVs death."
The report will be turned over to Circuit

ROBBER JUMPS INTO THE LAKE
Police In Doubt Whether He t'otn-
niltted talclde or Became
- Bewildered.
Milwaukee, dco. . one of the most
peculiar crimes with which the Milwaukee
police have had to' deal Was committed
tonight when an unidentified man held up
store and saloon and afterward jumped
into tha lake at the foot Of Wisconsin
strebt.
The police are at a loss to know whether
he committed suicide through fear of de
tection 'or whether he unintentionally ran
off the breakwater in his attempt to get
away; Tbe robberies of the store and sa
loon were unusually bold, and for this
reason the police do not think the robber
committed suicide.
The body of the robber wa recovered
and Is now at the morgue.
