position of Clarke of Arkansas, McEnery,
Patterson and Taliaferro not known save
for the public expression of Patterson In
the senate In favor of the administration
policy.
Tho spirit manifested n the caucus and
voiced by several, leading senators In em
phatic expressions after the caucus ad
journed, was that today's action meant that
the democrats of the senate would have
united party action mi matters determlnod
by two-thirds of their numbers to be ques
tions affecting purty policy. Those who
don't abide by caucus decision will not be
regarded as democrats and the potnt will
be raised against them should they appear
In future caucuses of the party.
Mr. Patterson declined to make any ex
planation of his leaving the caucus.
It Is supposed that all of the republicans
will vote for the treaty and that four dem
ocratic votes are necessary to secure Its
ratification. There are eighty-nine sena
tors, there being one vacancy from Del
aware, und probably one vote. Burton, will
not lie cast or paired. Therefore fifty
eight votes are necessary for the ratifica
tion. The republicans have fifty-four votes
without Burton, and four votes from the
opposition will give them the required two
thirds. Democratic leaders don't believe
these four votes will be forthcoming and
express the hope that senators who may
be favorably disposed towards the treaty
will feel bound by the caucus action today.

6T. PAI L, Feb. 3 A special dispatch
front Ijoyal, Wis., to the Dispatch aaya
that Harry Riddel and James Cook, both
prominent citizens of Jackson county, Wis
consin, had a narrow escape from being
devoured by wolves on the evening of Jan
uary 29.
They had been hunting the beasts all day
with a party of hunters from neighboring
towns and farms. 1 Becoming separated
from the main party they lost their way.
Darkness found them still undetermined aa
to the course to pursue. Gathering some
dry branches they built a fire to protect
themselves in cases of attack. No sooner
had they kindled the fire than the dismal
sound of wolves was heard in the distance
and, placing their backs to a larire rock,
the men prepared for battle. In ten min
utes the forest seemed olive with dusky
forms and soon the battle was raging. The
remainder of the parly had gone In search
of the missing men and came upon them
after they had exhausted their ammuni
tion and were riKhting with firebrands aa
a last resort. The wolves dispersed at the
approach of the larger party, fifteen of the
vicious hrutes having been killed.

LKNTEN DIET.
A Food More Powerful Than Meat.
A devout Catholic lady of Washington,
anxious to comply with the requirements
of tho church as to diet during Lent and
not suffer from insufficient food, aaya:
"Aa Lent approached last year I found
myself In such a run-down condition that
I seriously hesitated upon the advisability
of abstaining front flesh food, attending
arly services, etc., during the penitential
season.
"1 was very nervous and suffering from
a severe mental shock, and felt that I
needed all the strengthening properties
that my usual large meat breakfasts and
hot lunches could give me. And yet I waa
anxious to keep an exemplary Lent, not
only in a spiritual sense, but by also prac
ticing self-denial.
"After thinking it over I concluded to
try Grape-Nuts food in place of meat, de
termined, however, that at the first symp
tom of Increased weakness or distress 1
would drop it and go buck to my old diet.
I began on Ash Wednesday to use Orapt
Nu's instead of my pre-l.enten meat
I br, akfasts. I ate the food dry, followed by
J a cup of cocoa or glass of milk. For
luncheon 1 again took Grape-Nuts, but
this time In the form of a pudding, boiled
or baked. My dinner was of the usual
character.
"To my great Joy, 1 found I had solved
j the problem. In three weeks I realized
that I was not only holding my own. but
gaining In the power of enduring fatigue
and worry, and at the close of I-ent I had
gained 10 pounds In weight, had a clearer
rye and color, a better appetite and diges
tion than for many months before.
"My vigor, both physical and mental, haa
been pronounced ever since. I feel the
nervqua strain much less, my duties no
longer worry me, because I am able to
systematize thein aa only on with a thor
oughly rested and vigorous brain can, so
that they are mora quickly performed,
giving me more time for rest, reading and
recreation." Name given by Postum Co.,

Senator Foraker amendment to the state,
hood bill will pass the senate," said Sen
ator Klttredge today. When asked how he
expected to vote the Junior senator from
South Dakota waa as shy as any lA-year-old
girl and adroitly avoided answering the
question. The senator, however, has heard
enough In the last few days to warrant
him In making a prediction that the For
aker amendment, which divides the state
hood bill and admits only Oklahoma and
Indian Territory as one state, will be
adopted.

Shotwell Falls In Mission.
Frank A. Shotwell, deputy county attor
ney of Douglas county, lett for his home
in Omaha today In ratner a dejected state
of mind. Shotwell came to Washington
for the purpose of bringing about the re
appointment of Wesley J. Cook as post
master at Blair. Mr. Shotwell wanted Con
gressman Kennedy to present him to the
first assistant postmaster general, so that
he t8hotwell) might urge the claims of
Cook. Mr. Kennedy could not be Induced
to depart from ills position that the de
partment, having elected to settle posl
mastershlps on the record. It would be
presumptuous on his part to appoar at the
Postofflco department and take a hand In
the Blair fight unless he had been re
quested by the department so to do.
Wesley J. Cook has had eight years as
postmaster at Blair, his term having ex
pired on December 18. But so far us can
be learned at the ' Postofflce department
Wesley J. Cook will not be reappointed. He
will give way to someone else within a
month unless present conditions materially
change. There are charges against Cook,
probably not serious, but sufficient to give
the postmaster general an opportunity to
recommend another for the place. When
ever the Postoffice department Indicates to
Representative Kennedy that a recom
mendation for the Blair postofflce Is in or
der he stands ready to make such recom
mendation, but until he receives such Inti
mation the representative from the Second
Nebraska district will remain silent.
Kennedy netting; Wise.
The bill which Congressman Kennedy In
troduced this week lu behalf of the First,
Second and Third marine regiments of Mis
souri volunteers, mustered Into the service
in 1861 by General John C. Fremont, has
been referred to the committee on war
claims, of which Mr. Kennedy Is a member.
Heretofore this bill, which haa either died
in commltteo or on the calendar, lias been
referred to the committee on claims. Mr.
Kennedy, realizing that the claims commit
tee might prove the burial ground for his
bill, adroitly had It referred to his own
committee, from which a favorable report
Is expected.
Appropriation for Indiana.
The secretary Of the treasury today trans
mitted to congress a recommendation, en
dorsed by the secretary of the Interior, urg
ing that the following paragraph be in
serted In the Indian appropriation bUJ: "For
care and support of Insane persons lu In

direction of the secretary of the Interior,
)50.000 for the care of Indian citizens of
aald territory at the asylum In Canton,
Lincoln county, S. D."
Good Resnlta of Tree Planting.
The succeas of the tree planting opera
tions on the Dismal River forest reserve In
Nebraska has Indicated to the ranchmen
In the Sand Hill country the advisability of
planting for protection and timber supply.
The Jack pine and western yellow pine are
very promising, and, In addition, certain of
rapid-growing broad-leafed trees, such as
Carolina poplar, green ash and Cottonwood,
can be used.
In the spring of 1!M aome ten or a dozen
ranchmen planted small quantities of Jack
pine obtained front the woods of northern
Minnesota on trial. Authoritative reports
from nearly all of these men show a high
proportion of successes, only two absolute
failures being reported, and these because
of unfavorable locations and lack of care.
The forest service haa recently received
an application for assistance in planting ten
acres near Broken Bow, and It la expected
that applications from ranchmen will rap
Idly increase in the future.
