PRICE FIVE CENTS TILLMAN He Says That at a Later the President WASHINGTON, Jan. applause from the galleries, when entered the senate chamber today reply to President Roosevelt's remarks in respect to his connection with Oregon timber land, Senator Tillman read his prepared remarks with little attempt at oratorical ettect. He was accorded careful atten. tion by the senators on both sides of chamber, the republican private galleries being taxed to their full capacity by visitors, who occupied all seats and standing room, while without the entrances long lines of men and women, unable to gain admission, stood at the door nearly three hours vainly hoping to enter galleries.

In addition to his speech, which had been printed in advance, Mr. Tillman had prepared other remarks which he read. "It been expected and desired" he "that having made my own detense, I should turn my batteries on assailant. I do not feel that my strength is sufficient for the task, my physicians have warned me against exerting myself. "The president lives in a glass bouse, with even a glass floor in it should remember the old adage.

has exerted all the power of the government to hurt me, but I feel I stand unscathed because, if all other arguments fail to convince men, the character for rectitude, truthfulness and honesty which I builded in sixty-one years of my would at least be my bulwark. "Men who have always been clean honorable do not suddenly become liars and hypocrites at sixty-one without any necessity. Later on in session it is my purpose to devote some time to bring Theodore Rooseface to face with his true self let the people of the United States see what character of man have been so bowed down to." When Mr. Tillman concluded his remarks, there was no more applause, vice president having admonished occupants of the galleries against making such demonstrations. Mr.

Tillman was congratulated by a numof senators. The senate then took recess of ten minutes, in order that visitors might leave the galleries without disturbing the proceedings on being called to order, transacted its routine business. WASHINGTON, Jan. a discussion in the house of representatives today, a resolution granting the use of pension office building for the inaugural ball went over for two weeks. As it stands, the section relating to the pension building was stricken out and a further amendment was made, requesting permission to extend the overhead wires into the structure.

It was manifest from the outset that a majority of those present were opposed to the pension office proposition and Mr. Smith of Michigan, having that measure in charge, was unable to rally his forces and in consequence was beaten at every turn. G. I. Sims of Tennessee, was most vigorous in his opposition.

"Let's not dance over the calims of old soldiers," He said if the ball really was in honor of the president, he would not make any complaint, but he declared "It is a dance to make money." He believed that President Taft would feel a pang of sorrow, while in the ballroom, where ladies will exhibit their beautiful forms and display magnificent pearl and diamond necklaces, when he knows that possible fires may destroy valuable records. He maintained that if there was to be a ball in honor of the president, it should be at the government's expense. Speaker Cannon announced the committee of five, which will conduct the investigation into the secret service, provided for by the resolution of last Saturday. At 6 p. m.

the house adjourned. WILLIAM DUFF HAYNIE Wm. Duff Haynie, formerly of Rapad City, now of Chicago, has resigned attorneyship of the Steel Trust REPLIES ROOSEVELTL Date He Will Bring Face to Face With Self to become attorney for the Illinois Manufacturers' association.

THOMAS POWERS DIED YESTERDAY In the death of Thomas Powers, which occurred at his home on Ingleside yesterday morning at 9 o'clock Deadwood lost an esteemed and worthy citizen. He was a man of exemplary life, to whom honesty and fair dealing were sO inate that he Was never even suspected of an inclination towards the faults that are too often associated with modern business methods. He was a model man in his home, a most sociable and generous companion and one who had no enemies but many friends. He has always enjoyed fairly good health and though not of a robust physique, appeared to be free from the little ailments incident to advancing years.

He spent Sunday evening at the home of his son-in-law, George S. Jackson and returning to his own residence, feeling in his usual good spirits, retired at 10 o'clock. At 5 o'clock yesterday morning he was attacked by severe pains in the chest and the physician who was summoned pronounced it an acute attack of indigestion. The application of simple remedies gave him temporary relief and he rallied some, but at 8 o'clock another attack came on which resulted in his death an hour later. Thomas Powers was born in New Foundland on August 2, 1845.

He then returned to Canada and settled in Ottawa for a time, finally removing with his father to Chicago, where in 1871 they established a sash, door and blind factory. The great Chicago fire of 1872 swept away their plant and they went to Mankato, where they engaged in the same line of business. On August 5, 1867 he had been married to Miss Esther A.

Stowell in Chicago and in 1877 came to the Black Hills. He built the first planing mill ever operated in Deadwood in the First ward, having taken as a partner, William Pratt.

CALDER'S TEAM WINS FIRST GAME The indoor baseball season opened at the Olympic club last evening 'when two picked teams, captained respectively by Calder and Bowman clashed in game, which considering the fact a that it is early in the season, was fairly well played.

It was some distance from being errorless and the pitchers were hit freely enough, but the spectators derived a large amount cf amusement and the line showed up that there is good material in the club which practice will develop into something creditable. Heffron was the receiving end of the battery for the winners and Hilton did the twirling. Bowman did the pitching for his team and Hill caught him. Bowman struck out fourteen and Hilton retired seven in the same manner. The umpires were Knowles and Williams and Horace Scott did the scoring.

Sunday 29.65| Total $258.65 I LEGISLATURE FLOODED WITH BILLS TO His PIERRE, Jan. the committee assignments the Black Hills did very well in the senate, Mcpherson getting the head of the committee on counties and towns, and on banks, judiciary and public health.

May heads the mining committee, and is on federal relations, surance and temperance. Stokes of Butte is at the head of the irrigation pommittee, and on appropriations, counties and towns, live stock and printing. Hare of Pennington is at the head of the printing committee, and on charitable and penal institutions, elections, live stock, mines and I temperance. Highley is on elections, judiciary, mines, public health and public institutions. In the house the Lawrence county representatives get two chairmanships, Moodie, mines and mining and Wolzmuth, ways and means.

Wolzmuth is on mines and municipal corporations; Moodie, corporations; O'Brien is on mines and railroads; Fowler is on judiciary and publiq library; Hale of Meade, heads the manufacturers committee and is onlive stpck and mines; Sutherland of Butte is irrigation, live stock, medicine and surgery. With a flood of bills today, insurance and railroads got theirs just for a starter, the rate bills coming in from all sides for the roads, and all kinds of bills covering all phases of insurance are already on the ground, with the insurance men's organization yet to be heard from. Amsden today sprung a resolution in the senate today asking for An early general appropriation bill, that the members might "figger out" the balance left, for division among those who want special appropriations. His resolution did not lay over, but was got out by suspension of rules, and while his motives were being praised, the resolution was being worked into the dark corner of the rules committee where it has gone to its last rest. Englesby started his maximum rate bill for telegraph companies today, making the rate twenty cents for ten CONSUMPTION CAN BE BANISHED IN ONE GENERATION The medical profession announces that we now know enough about consumption to eradicate it from the world in one generation and we are asking the help of all people to accomplish this.

No one particular medicament is recommended for promiscuous use, some consumptives can recover without any medicine, but usually some remedies are required to meet special incidents. The means to be employed are: First. Continuous out -door life. Second. Rest.

Third. Abundance of nutritious food. All three of these agencies must be used as long as the disease is active. The neglect of any one of the three would destroy the effect of the other two. Continuous out-door life means day and night, the year round if necessary.

There must be rest of body, mind and soul. Lying down in bed cannot be dispensed with during fev. er periods, light exercises under supervision is allowable at other times, if indulged in at wrong times will increase the fever. Worrying is not resting, nor is struggling for existence. Nutritious food means practically fat beef, milk and eggs, other food stuffs are allowable but with few exceptions should be given value only as filling or as a change.

Food supply must be continuous, feast and famine alternating will not do. Consumptives have been and are yet, advised to hike for Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, take a little grub, go out in the desert and rough it. The desert ofttimes kills a well man, the vast desolation, no water fit to drink, no food for man or beast, perhaps no fuel. A consumptive needs all the assistance and advantages that highest civ ilization can give him. The flesh of a desert animal is not nutritious for him.

The milk from a cow on the verge of starvation is not rich in cream or other life giving qualities nor are the eggs of desert fowls rich food, indeed they are so poor in vital elements that only enough hatch to perpetuate the species, the contents of many shells dry away instead of forming chicks. ONLY CASE IN AMERICAN ELECTIONS Seapata Texas, Cast Its Entire 429 Votes for Taft and -It's Population is 3,000 by he to the the the has said my for and He that the have life, and this velt and they the the ber a the and words between any two towns in the state. He promises that the telephones will get theirs at an early date in a bill fixing rates. Senator Johnson of Kingsbury, started his bills to place the strong hand of the la'w on the practical joker who desires to make a life a bur. den for the Newlyweds, by unseemly noises in the vicinity of the young couple; and for good measure, has another bill whic places the Hallowe'en kid outside the pale of the law if he should get caught at it.

Van Ruschen believes that 'when a man is caught with a burglar kit in his possession that it is the time to land him, and not to turn him loose to get busy and get away and fixes the same penalty for carrying the tools as for burglary itself. GOING DOWN TO BE INAUGURATED Edward F. Donovan, one of the attendants at the Yankton asylum for the insane, left Deadwood in charge of three patients who were taken to the state institution for treatment. Two of them are young men, one Corkhill from Central and one Morehead from Spearfish. Both of them have been detained in the county jail for more than two months and are suffering from a mental disease which may be cured by proper treatment.

The third patient was a man of about forty years, a Finlander, Matt Trimmera, who was brought here from Belle Fourche. He has been ranching in that locality and has developed a form of mental disorder of a serious and probably permanent character. He is troubled with most peculiar delusions which vary at times. At present he imagines he has been elected president of the United States and that he is being taken east for his inauguration, which will come off on March 4th. He claims that he decisively defeated William H.

Taft in the recent election and that he will have no difficulty in showing his right to the presidency when he reaches Washington. He is provided with a certificate of election, showing that he had a large majority of the electoral college. The certificate of election bears a red seal about six inches in diameter, which he guards very carefully and will not allow to leave his hands under any circumstances. On his recent visit here, Mr. Donocan was accompanied by Dr.

G. S. Adams, assistant superintendent of the Yankton asylum. ARE DESERVING OF BETTER PATRONAGE The Dougherty Stock company which opened a three nights engagement at the Deadwood theatre last evening in "A Quaker Tragedy," four-act comedy drama of merit, are deserving of much better patronage than has thus far been accorded them. The cast of eight people are actors of more than ordinary ability who present good, clean dramatic compositions in a capable manner.

There are few weak spots in the lineup and the work of some of the people is decidedly above the standard set by most repertoire companies. The leading roles by Jim and Hattie Dougherty and J. J. Franz, were exceptionally well handled and Dave Curts did a character turn that was decidedly classy. What specialties are introduced between the acts are good and George A.

Florer in a ludicrous turn with dancing, made a popular hit. Tonight they will put on "Resurrection," a strong dramatic creation which should be admirably suited to the capabilities of the company. WASHINGTON, Jan. alysiss of the returns of the recent presidential election, discloses that one county of the United States, Seapata county, Texas, cast its vote animously for the republican electors. This fact was stated recently to Franklin K.

Lape, one of the interstate commerce commissioners, and he investigated, finding it true. He received a certificate from W. R. Davis, secretary of Texas, declaring that Seapata county cast its 429 votes solidly for Taft and Sherman. The population of the county is less than 3,000.

A careful examination tails to disclose a similar case in the history of American elections, DEATH CLAIMS MRS. BANKS STEWART Mrs. Banks Stewart passed AWAy These facts do not apply to the fruitful irrigated valleys of the regions named; civilization is at its highest point there and money can buy a good quality of any product of the world. Sanitariums for consump tives abound near to the up-to-date cities of these valleys and if ducted in a scientific way by honest, competent management, are ideal places for those who can pay their rates, which rule less than those of hotels where similar food and beds are provided. Unfortunately some are conducted by harpies who complacently prey upon the consumptives for the money there is in it, without any attempt to benefit the pa tient, indeed they have no know-! ledge how to benefit the patient.

Therefor the element of profit should be removed from the management of sanitariums for the consumptive poor. They should be conducted by the state or be fully endowed so that a profit or running expenses need not be considered in connection with patients. Most consumptives are poor, is a disease of the poor, it makes its victims poor. They stop working when they feel ill hoping that they will recover more rapidly. They feel a little better, return to work and find they are short of wind, their stops when work stops, their savings are soon gone, some get small amount from a lodge or beneficiary fund, then they ask the county for help, just enough to live on while waiting for death.

They wan. der about the streets, coughing and spitting, scattering the seeds of their disease to be blown into the lungs of others, who if susceptible, will develop the disease and in turn scatter their seeds, and so on indefinitely. Some doctors will not tell a poor man that he has consumption, he might suicide in the office. There is nothing for him but the poor house or go south and live as long as he can, so they tell him stomach, heart, blood or kidneys are bad, advise him to sleep with window open and swallow a tablespoonful of olive oil before meals and to eat raw eggs. at St.

Joseph's hospital at 8:30 Sunday morning. She underwent an operation Saturday morning for the relief of a disorder from which she had suffered for a long time, and the resulting shock was too severe for her infeebled constitution to withstand. The attending physicians were untiring in their care and remained with her throughout the whole of Saturday night. That evening there was hope of her recovering, but late at night she took a turn for the 'worse and sank gradually until death claimed her Sunday morning. Mrs.

Stewart would have been forty-six years of age had she lived until March. She is survived by her husband, Banks Stewart, who is sales man for John G. Woodward and company of Council Bluffs, and daughter, Miss Bessie Stewart, who is assistant operator in the Nebraska Telephone company's office in this city. She had resided in Deadwood for the past ten years and was a man of most amiable disposition. She made many warm friends and her death is a source of grief to all with whom she was acquainted.

She was a most patient sufferer and her conduct through life leaves no doubt of her reward in the great beyond. The remains were removed after death, to the residence of her brother, Clarence Dahlberg on Ingleside, where funeral services were conducted yesterday afternoon by Rev. Frederickardson of the Baptist church. The music was furnished by a quartette composed of Mesdames Lowe and Neil and Dr. Nell and Fred Shellhart.

Many beautiful floral emblems reposed on the casket. At the conclusion of the ceremonies the remains were born from the house 1 by the pall-bearers, George S. Fuller, George B. Porter, H. O.

Alexander, M. J. Morgan, R. Craft and 1 H. C.

White and taken to the Burlington station whence they were conveyed to Lincoln, for burial by the side of Mr. Stewart's -mother in Wyuks cemetery. The, body was accompanled to Lincoln by Mr. Stewart, Miss Bessie Stewart, Mrs. Dahlberg, the mother of the deceased, and Clarence Dahlberg.

SENIORS AND FRESHMEN TONIGHT Game number seven on the high school basketball schedule will be played this evening and all the rest of the games promise to be well fought. The contestants in this case are the seniors and freshmen. Both teams have lost two games and the game will probably decide which of the five teams will be eliminated, lear ing only four teams to play the Anal six games. The enthusiasm for these games is gradually increasing instead of diminishing as much enthusiasm and excitement prevails at all the games..
