the senator placed a hand on his houldr,
looked down on him with a kindly expres

you ought to get married. A good wife Is
tha best thing In the world to keep a young
man regular In his habits."
"Illinois might Just as well learn that It
cannot make vlca presidential candidates,

sentative, banterlna-lv tn aanah, is.n
whon It became obvious that Senator Fair

"That shows how little you know about

reaiiy an Illinois boy. He spent his early
days on an Illinois farm, and Is today an
Illinois farmer, owning one of the finest
farms In the state, down at Mansfield, In
the corn belt"
A Plan that Failed. '
When the senator leaves the senate It
will be with one serious regret. As chair
man of the committee on publlo buildings
and grounds, he became convinced of tha
advisability of providing for the construc
tion of a public building, opposite the State,
War and Navy buildings, for the accommo
dation of the departments of State, Justice
and Commerce and Labor. Preliminary
plans were prepared and looked so attrac
tive that the senator became enamored of
them and conceived the Idea that he could
leave no more fitting monument to his
eight years' service In the senate than the
beautiful structure which the architects
had designed. Early and late he labored
for his pet measure, and Jlnally, as the
session was drawing to a close, he suc
ceeded In having it made the "unfinished
business before the senate." Then he sent
for a newspaper friend and suggested that
the sketch of the building and a detailed
.description would make an admirable Sun-"
day article. He offered his friend the pic
ture of the building, but the correspondent
forgot to take It with him. He did not for
get, however, to go at once to the man
agers of the senate to ascertain their plans
with regard to the Fairbanks bill. In con
fidence, they told him the public building
WU was to be used as a stopgag until the
Panama olvtl bill was ready for considera
tion, that Fairbanks' enthusiasm would
prevent hie appreciating the true situation,
nd that while he pressed his measure no
ajdeslrable legislation could get through.
r?ln Panama bill was ready the Fair
bank, bill waa laid on the table, to the In
dlanlans great disappointment This sug-
which went the rounds of the senate. The

This Damon and Pythias intimacy on tha
part of the Indiana leaders haa been a
matter of much comment in Washington
throughout the last two or three years. It
has also caused great merriment at times
In political circles. "Here's Fairbanks;

must be answered by Senators Fairbanks
and Beveridge themselves. Certain it la
that if they have not been the best of
friends, they have been too politic to admit
It even to their most Intimate acquaint
ances. When approached on tha subject
they have invariably parried tha thrusts
with great adroitness. As an illustration
or tns run that has been manufactured at
tha senators' expense over this supposed
state of chilliness, s little Incident at a
banquet recently attended br both ,iht
be recounted. Boms humorist had pre
pared a "list of rules" for tha ruests

put the dlnera in good humor. Near tha

Senator Fairbanks, while of calm and un
demonstrative exterior, is really a man of
much sentiment, and to his friends he
sometimes speaks beautifully of the part
ner of his Joys and sorrows. He met her
at Ohio Wesleyan university, of which he
Is both an alumnus and a trustee, and he
has always retained a particular fondness
for the institution for that reason. When
th senator first went to the university
Joseph Benson Foraker, now senator from
Ohio, was also a student there, although
being older, he was in a more advanced
class. The two senators often get to
gather and talk over their college days at
Delaware.' '
An Ancient Homestead.
It la an interesting coincidence that the
home of Jonathan Fairbanks, the founder
of the Fairbanks family in thla country,
should be formally set aside as a museum
of historical relics within twenty-four hours
of the nomination of Senator Charles W.
Fairbanks of Indiana, one of his descend
ants, as the republican candidate for vice
president The deeds transferring -the
famous old homestead in Dedham to the
Incorporated association of the Fairbanks
Family in America wore recorded on June
22. The house is to be used as a head'
quarter for the family assochttion and a
museum of heirlooms and other historlo
relics. It is a low-roofed, picturesque struc
ture and is to be placed as nearly as pos
sible in its original condition and opened
to the public In looking over the house
recently, Judge RufuS a. Fairbanks of
West Med way, treasurer and custodian of
the Fairbanks family property, and. John
Wilder Fairbanks found tha timbers and
wall of th quaint old building in as per.
feet condition as when Jonathan Fairbanks
brought th original beams and Joists from
England when he built the house In 1828.
For some unexplained reason, although the
country In which he was to settle was al
most virgin forest, be brought, over with
him a lot of timbers and Joists of the best
English oak. and these form part of the
original farmhouse today. Perhaps he
thought that he could not get the kind of
timber he desired here, at any rate of a
sufficiently seasoned quality
The old farmhouse is a rambling struc
ture, beautifully situated beneath enormous
spreading elms on the top of a little knoll
or rise. The main porUon has a long slop
ing roof that reaches nearly to the ground
in the back, and s low, squat chimney,
projecting only a few feet above the ridge
pole. Two wings, hip-roofed, flank it on
ither side. The farm stretches away from
the house for some distance on all sides.
Inside are to be found the curloua old
furnishings and the old-fashioned deep fir,
places found In all old colonial house. The
present occupant is Miss Rebecca Fair,
banks, of the eighth generation.
John Wlider Fairbanks says that there
are 6.000 living families who are descend,
ants of Jonathan Fairbanks, who settled
in Dedham and built the old farmhouse.
Tear before last he was la communication
with 1,600 families, and the list hus grown
enormously since systematic genealogical
investigation ha begun. The Fairbanks
family, through marriage of sons and
daughters of Jonathan Fairbanks, is allied
with th Metcalfs, th Prescott and th
Huntington.

POLICY HOLDERS WILL PAY
Effect of Enforcement of laisrua
Reciprocal Tax Provision of
Revenue Law.
The decision of the state supreme court
in sustaining the Insurance reciprocal tax
provision of the Nebraska statutes is the
Important toplo under discussion by the
Insurance men of Omaha. John Steel, who
waa commissioned by the foreign Insurance
companies doing business In Nebraska to
conduct the campaign against having a re
ciprocal Insurance tax Included in the new
revenue law, Is out of the city, but other
leading Insurance men agree that the bur
den Imposed will fall upon th policy hold
ers rather than upon the companies.
"The trouble is," said Joseph B. Clark,
state manager for the Germanla Life In.
sura nee company of New York, "that the
politicians do not seem to realise that Ufa
Insurance companies axe mutual concerns.
They are disposed . to treat them as
private corporations and that explains
their willingness to load them with
taxes. The reciprocal insurance tax
law should not have been enacted In th
first place, but now that we have It and th
supreme court has sustained it, th people
of Nebraska will find that they have im
posed a tax upon themselves and not upon
any foreign corporations. Life lnauranoe
in this day snd generation operates on th
mutual plan and any burden placed on the
companies falls ultimately on the policy
holders. It la true that th enforcement
of th reciprocal tax law will enable the
Insurance department ot Nebraska to col
lect thousand ot dollars annually, but the
money will come from the policy holders
in a reduction of their dividends. Insur
ance premiums will not b advanced in this
state on account of this tax, but naturally
th dividend paid to policy holder will
be reduced, for every Item of expense
placed upon th conduct of a mutual bus
lness decreases the dividends from that
business proportionately."
IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC DISCOTERT.
A Clinical Preparation that Positively
Kills the Dandratf Germ.
A "most important discovery has been
made after a; year's patient laboratory
work aimed In a certain direction It Is
Newbro's Herplclde, a preparation that
prevents falling hair, and speedily' and
permanently eradicate dandruff. Tbesa
evils ar caused by a germ or parasite
that burrows into th scalp, throwing up
dandruff, a it seeks to sap the 11 f. of the
hair at th root. There's no baldness with
out falling or thin hair, no thin hair with
out dandruff, and no dandruff if the germ
1 destroyed. Newbro's Herplclde Is the
only preparation that will do the work.

INTERNAL REVENUE LARGER
Eeceipts at Omaha Customs Homo Greatlj
Increased by Liquor Business.
LESS SPIRITS, BUT MUCH MORE MALT SOLD
Collector Stevenson's Fignres Show
Tremendous Enlargement In Vol
ume of Beer Drunk; fey the
Laboring Classes.
Friday began the new fiscal year of all
the federal departments and the clerical
force of all the departments here have
been very busy for the past week In closing
up the work of the year.
A comparison of the receipts of the In
ternal revenue department for the year
closing June 80, 1903, and the year closing
June 80, 1904, Indioates a healthy growth
for the Nebraska district For 1903 th
total receipts from all sources was 32,380,960,
and for 1904, 32,661,973, showing an Increase
over the previous year of 3301,013.
Collector E. B. Stephenson in speaking
of this increase said:
"We are agreeably surprised at the show
ing, as we had naturally expected a ma
terial falling oft In the receipts because
of the abolition of the war tax. Thl in
crease of receipts la Indicative of a very
signincant increase in th retail business
throughout th country, representing as It
does th lncreas of small business estab
lishments, including cigar stores, liquor es
tablishments, drug stores, etc., that handle
taxable articles under the internal revenue
laws It shows, moreover, a big increase
In the brewing Industry. The tax on dis
tilleries is somewhat deoreaaed during the
year. The sale of spirituous liquors has
been considerably diminished In Omaha, as
shown by our receipts, but the sale of
malt liquors much increased. There Is
another reason for the Increase in the
sale and consumption of malt liquors, and
that Is the liberal advertising done by the
brewers.
Only Distillery In the West.
"There is but one distillery in this west
ern country, and tliat is located here in
Omaha. There la less outside beer shipped
Into the west now than formerly and there
has been a significant Increase In the num.
ber of breweries and their output The
Increased manufacture of oleomargarine
products also has something to do with
the increased revenue receipts. However,
the greater increase comes from the manu
facture and sale of malt beverages. Beer
la becoming more and mora th laboring
man's drink and its consumption Is enor
mous. Th tax on beer I $1.60 per barrel
of thirty-two gallons, and correspondingly
less on the half, quarter and eighth bar
rels. Th tax on spirits I (1.10 per gallon.
"Th abolition of the documentary tax
cuts very little figure in th matter of
Internal revenue receipts this year and
the significant reduction of revenues from
that cause waa shown a year ago, when
the tax reduction first went Into effect"

PRAY AND SING IN THE DARK
Pastor Leads His Floek In Divine
Worship with Hone but the
plrttual Light.
For over an hour Thursday night Rev.
Charles W. Savldge, pastor of People's
church, 618 North Eighteenth street, and
hi congregation, prayed and sung In th
dark.
"W hav no lights In this house by
which to see tonight." said the pastor as
he mounted bis little pulpit, not before
thinking of the temporary removal of the
gas meter, ' but, thank God," he exclaimed,
"w have a brighter light, that light which
never goea out, burning within cur hearts,
and that is all we need to comniun with
th Lord."
Th church building is being moved back
a few feet and in doing this it became
necessary to remove the gas meter, but
this fact had slipped the pastor's mind
until too late to provide other lights.
"But we had a good prayer meeting,"
aald Mr. Savldge in referring to the mat
ter afterward. "Thla Is not the first time
I hav held services In th dark," he added.
"I remember when I became pastor, of the
old Newman church in 'Omaha the congre
gation waa behind 3100 on its gas bill and
I determined that the gas should not burn
again until that bill wa paid off. And it
waa not W simply held our night services
in the dark and I think my preaohlng
never seemed more effective to me than .
