CATTLE DISEASE COSTLY (Continued from First Page.) let an opportunity pass to catechise Mr. Reed on a ruling that was out of the rou tine. On several occasions he annoyed the spesker very much by his pertinent In quiries, and once came dangerously near putting him In a hole on an Important rul ing. One afternoon, Just after a bout with tbe Buffalo congressman, Mr. Reed said te Representative James R. Toung of Phila delphia: "Jim, there are all kinds of people In this world and Roland BlcnerhaBaette Mahany." The speaker: knew the bible thoroughly and quoted from It frequently. One day a member who had been absent from a com mittee meeting the day before when a bin In which ' Mr. Reed was especially inter ested was under consideration went to the speaker with an explanation of his absence. As ho was talking with Mr. Reed. Repre sentative Foote of New York passed. Mr. Foote, who was one of the best dressed men In congress, bad a weakness for flam ing red neckties. He wore one on the oc casion referred to. In reply to the mem ber's explanation Mr. Reed said: "Though your sins be as Foote' necktie, I will make them like snow.". Story Told of Kaat. Thomss Nast was a less frequent visitor to the capital than the others, each of whom long lived here. But be waa here many times during the last forty years. On one occasion heveral years ago be came te attend a canvasback dinner given at Har vey's celebrated restaurant. He came away from New York In great haste, and by ac cident himself and his dress suit case did not make due connection. The result was that he was forced to appear at the din ner which was attended by many notable In hi ordinary traveling garb. The large framed and large-hearted proprietor of th establishment did not know Nast. But h was impressed by the appearance of a short, stout, stubby-whiskered gentleman who sat at the dinner and seemed uncom fortable without the customary raiment and gave the waiters orders that he should receive particular notice. He alao gave the guest nis personal attention. This was a dlstlnot compliment to Mr. Nast, for Mr. Harvey ha entertained all sorts of dis tinguished men at hla establishment for nearly two generations. Nast was de lighted with Harvey's courtesy a much a hi cuisine. He was also amused by the circumstance that Mr. Harvey did not know him. Later he sent the noted restauranter a pair of finely executed but grotesque cir toons. One was of Nast in a short- tailed coat addressing the canvas-backers. The other was Harvey, depicted as a prlnco ot dinner givers and weighing about a ton and a half. These two have long hung in frames at the old establishment. Mr. Har vey has several times refused $1,000 for them. Hill Fall Into Ills Own Trap. "Jim" Hill, the president of the Great Northern railroad, " was in Washington a few day ago and that fact brought .out a story. The presence in the capital of any man of great prominence, especially It he be a self-made man, I certain to remind some on of a atory. "It Is not generally known," said a fed eral official,' "thai MT." Hill is one of the greatest cnnlaeer ot precloua stor.es in the country. Those who do know him well are aware of tfie"fact that he ha a mag nificent collection of uncut gema, which he guard carefully gqd in which he takes great pride. 1 ' "Mr. Hill hat a beautiful home In St. Paul, where be spends all his leisure and that is mostly late at night In reading. ., HI library ' J situated In one corner of the bouse, from which a mag nificent view of- the Mississippi river I to be had. Some year ago I had occasion to call upon htm with a friend on evening. W sat In the library and talked over business until a late hour, and aa we were about to leave, Mr. Hill auggested that aa we bad never seen his collection of gems he would show them to ua. Arising, he stepped over to the wall and pushed a button. A panel slid back and revealed a vault In which were a great quantity of the most superb uncut gems that I had ever seen. After expressing our admiration we Stepped to the window with Mr. Hill to see the view of the Upper Mississippi by moon light. Mr. Hill raised the window and we atepped out onto tbe porch for a few moments. We ire-entered the room and started to leave the house. Mr. Hill In sisted upon accompanying us to the door. It is perhaps lucky for us that he CId. for as we left the library two men sprang from behind the columns in the hall In second and we were looking into the muzsles of a pair ot ugly revolvers. In' opening the window Mr. Hill had aet off the burglar alarm and the two guards, who are always on duty, promptly came down from their room above to find the cause. I do net believe that any burglar will ever be able to get away with those uncut gems." Dea Moiaea Botvlera Suecamb. DES MOINK8. la..

Baker secretary of the Northwestern Ohio Ma sonic Relief association, today, for the first time, make public the secret history of th looting of Calholle cathedral during the Mexican war, tells hew It waa done and how treasure wss burled. His tongue wss loosened by a dispatch from Mexico City announcing the discovery of a chest of diamonds, sapphires, rubles. pearls and golden Imagea beneath the flag stone In the chapel of La Voscalnas col lege In Mexico City. Mr. Baker's siory rivals the mythical tales of Captain Kldd and, moreover, bears the unmistakable stamp ot truth. He says that his father marched from Vera Cms to Mexico City with General Scott's army during the Mexican war. He and a lent mate, after plotting for wecka, dug thel way Into some of the richest tathedral an pillaged them of tlelr fabulous wealth of all sorts ot valuable stones and huge goldon Images. For hours they looted, carrying their hur dens of precious stone to a hiding plac beneath the flagstones In a cathedral yard, Shortly afterward Baker'a companion died, Baker returned to his borne In New York and then went to Hillsdale, Mich, Fifteen year after plundering th cathe drala he confided hi story to an Intimate friend. Tbe friend wrote to the Mexican government, asking "if there would be any chance of a division of the spoils," If h should tell the government where It could find the sacred and valuable altar decora tlon that had been stolen. In a letter bearing the official seal the Hillsdale man' received warning that If he knew of any one who had a hand in the notorioua pillaging, or If he himself partlc lpated In It, he would do well to forget all be knew about It and keep quiet, lest his life be sacrificed In revenge for the desecra tlon of the cathedral. Baker took the advice, but atlll Intended to secure tbe treasure he had buried. w HYMENEAL mlth-amone. William C. N. Smith of Lincoln and Mlea Nettie M. Sammons of Calhoun were mar ried by Rev. A. W.
