fact.'' From these figures one judges th a t the School has come to stay, th a t it satisfies a real de­sire on the parts of the parents and boys of tho whole country, not. only of th is section. From Mass* achusetts to San Francisco, from Mexico to Alaska cadets have come. One hears the middle western burred “r ” mingled with the “fo’teen" of the G eorgian; in the

The automobile and the horse is another instance of fam iliarity breeding contempt. Two years ago the appearance of an automo­bile on the street was the signal for every plug along the line to begin trying to climb telephone poles, or get into the t store build­ings. Today an automobile does not a ttract as much attention from the horses along the street as from the people. I t is nearly the same on the country roads. Occasionally a horse scares but it is coming to be the exception and not the rule.

Tho history of the bicycle is re­peating itself in the automobile, and the horse has more sense than

FIRST YACHT RACE MONDAY

1 ack of W ind P revents the A\eet Scheduled for S atu rday .

As there was no wind the race set. for Saturday was postponed until Monday morning at nine thirty but as there were delays the race did not get off untill ten o’clock. It was decided to start the sloops before the cat boats so as to avoid any trouble in the two classes mixing and being in the way of each other. The course was . triangular, running from a point in front of M urdochs peer to a buoy off Hit? Lake View thence south to a buoy in front of F a rr­ar's. The first gun was lired at ten and after three m inutes to jockey for places the second gun was tired and the sloops were off. The Nassau (Thomas H endricks new boat) was the first to cross the line followed by K. W, Shirk’s W hite Lady, Old Scout and K en­neth Ogle's uew boat the Esperance. Ten m inutes later the cat boats started all of which did not cross the line until the third gun hud been fired so th a t the times * ere taken at 10:10. The U ncas crossed the line first followed by ('.Coffin’s new boat, the Dioues, G ilbert Van Camp's new boat, the Indian and the Flip. Among the sloops all sailed the first leg about evenly but on the second leg the OKI Scout as usual took the lead and held it untill the finish. The E s­perance made tho second best time and the Nassau the th ird best. Thomas H endricks had the hard luck to foul one of the buoy6 on the second round which neccessi- ated his going arround it again and K. Ogle had the same mis­fortune. With the cat boats the two new boats which Captain Edd Morris built last winter made an exciting race. J . 1*3. Fulton who has the th ird boat built by Capt. Morris was - not able to be here to race Monday so his boat, the Isabella did not sail. In the first round the Uncas held the lead un­til the 11 Van Camp., caught and passed her on the last, leg after which the ‘'Van Camp held the lead and one m inute and eight seconds ahead of the Indian the second boat. The Sewahauaka handicapping rule has been adop-

sent a sample of his work t o his j ted by tho club for the handi- aunt, Miss Mary Medboum. The j capping of the round bottom sloops, work is fine and displays talent as Before this they have been handi-well as most careful application.

W e regret very much, th a t wej failed to mention in our last issue th a t Rev. H erbert G am filled the the pulpit a t the Reformed church, Sunday evening Ju ly 2nd. Under the inspiration of friends and for­mer associates, his sermon was of extraordinary earnestness and strength.

Dr. O. A. Rea was appointed a member of the school board to sue. ceed T . E. Slattery. This appoint­m ent is in accord with the eternal fitness of things. W e venture to suggest that Mr. Speyer resign so tha t another doctor could be ap­pointed. W ith the over crowded and disease infected building we have, the entire medical staff of the town ia not too strong to safe guard the health of our children.

A man living near Richland Center came to town Saturday morning and drove his horse and wagon in front of the blacksmith shop owned by H . M. Speyer where he unhitched and tied his horse to the wagon. T he poor an­imal was left standing there until Sunday morning when one of our town officers ordered the horse taken to McLains livery stable and fed. The man left town Sunday night about. 9 o'clock. Such b ru t­ality should be punished by giving all guility parties the full penalty of the law.

capped by the club's knowledge of the relative speeds of the different

: boats, but the new rule handicaps them on their relative sail areas and. water lines. The following is the table of times of the difler- boats:

MEN ON SMALL SALARY BURDEN OF TAXES

Peculiar Conditions at P ittsburg Per-m its M illionaires to Escape With

Nominal Taxes on Incomes.

P ittsburg , Ta., d ispatch: Investiga­tion of the records of ihe assessor's office has revealed some am using fig­ures se tting forth the valuations placed on the property of the tax­payers of this city.

I t is shown th a t men on sm all sa l­aries in offices in P ittsburg a rc fre­quently assessed heavier on “occupa­tion" than are th e m illionaires. The “occupation” is supposed to represent annual income and on th is the assess­m ent is made.

It is therefore somewhat startling to find that there arc but two men In P ittsburg whose occupation o r Incomo is assessed at. as high as $10,000. One of them is II. C. F rick , acknowledged to be worth 370,000,000, and the regis­te r nf wills, Stengel, whose salary is $5,(W0, but who it. appears has had a fight w ith the town fathers.

O ther strange figures on th e “occu­pation" of well-known m illionaires aro as follows: T. H artgivcn. p resident of th e F arm ers’ Deposit National bank and one of the tow n’s w ealthiest men, pays on $1,000 “occupation;" Presi­dent C. H. McEldowney of Ihe Union T rust company, a corporation capital­ized at 820.000,000, pays taxes on only $500. and A. C. Dickey, p resident of the Carnegie Siccl company, pays on $5.- 000: B. F. Jones of the Jones & Laugh- lin company on $2,500; Bank Commis­sioner R obert McAfee Adams, $6,000 salary, but pays taxes o r $1,000.

Jam es W. Friend, a high official in th irty corporations, ihe man who is said to have lost $800,000 to Cassie Chadwick, and then laughed about it, is down for an occupation valued at $2,500. Jam es H. Lockhart, son of the late Char!e« Lockhart of S tandard Oil fame and who is said to be worth $100,000,000. is assessed at S1.000.

Tlie appeal will be decided by the United Sialea su­prem e court. The records contained in the books of Secretary L. M. Alex­ander of the General P aper company have been sought by counsel for the governm ent and upon refusal of the paper company officials to tu rn over the books Judge Seam an w as appealed to and decided in favor of the govern­ment. The appeal to the highest court will delay the more im portant testim ony several months.

Avoid the Cheap and “ Big Can” Bak­ing Powders.

The cheap baking powders have hu t one recom m endation: they certainly give the purchaser plenty of powder for his money. These powders a re so carelessly m ade from Inferior ma­teria ls tha t they will not m ake light, wholesome food. F urther, these cheap baking powders have a very small per­centage of leavening gas; therefore it lakes from two to th ree tim es as much of such powder to ra ise th e cake o r biscuit as it does of Calum et Baking Powder. Therefore, in the long run, th e actual cost to the consum er of such powders is more than Calumet would be. Cheap baking powders leave the bread som etim es bleached and acid, someLimes yellow and alka­line, and alw ays unpalatable. They are never of uniform streng th anti quality.

The Hall of the Guard.Loud rang the laughter in th e hall

of tho men-at-arms a t Castle Kerns* berg. T here had como an em bassy from th e hered itary Princess of Plass- enburg. recently established upon the th rone of her ancestors, to thy Duch­e ss Joan of H ohenstein, ru ler of th a t c lu ste r of hkH sta te le ts which is called collectively M asurenland, and which includes. besides H ohenstein, the original E agle 's Eyrie, Kernswalu also, and Marienfeld.

Above, in the hall of audience, the am bassador, one Leopold von Des- sauer. a g rea t lord and most learned councillor of s ta te , sa t alone with the young duchess. They w ere eating of tho baked m eats and drinking the good Rhenish up there. But, a fte r all, it. was much m errier down below with W erner von Orscln, A lt P ikker, P eter Balia, and John of Thorn , though what, they a'.e w as m ostly b u t plain ox-flesli, and the ir drink the strong ale native to the hill lands, which is called Wen dish mead.

“Get you down, C aptains Jorlan and Boris?,’' the young duchess had com­manded. looking very handsom e and haughty in the pride of h e r twenty- one years, her e igh t strong castles, and her two thousand m en ready to r is e at her word; "down to the hall, w here my officers send round th e was­sail. ir they do not tre a t you well, -e'en come up and tell it. to me.”

“Good!" had responded the two sol­d ie rs of ihe Princess of P lassenburg. tu rn ing them abou t aw if they had been hinged on the sam e stick, and S tarting forw ard with precisely the sh am e stiff h itch from the halt, they -made for the door.

"H ut s ta y / ' Joan of H ohenstein had said , e re they reached it. "here a re a •couple of rings. My fa ther le ft me ■one o r two such. F it them upon your fingers and when you re tu rn give th em to th e m aidens of your choice.”

And with the«r rings upon th e ir lit­tle fingers th e two burly captains went .down tho narrow s ta ir of Castle K ernsberg. Being arrived a t th e hall beneath they soon found them selves -the cen ter of a hospitable circle. Gruff, ■bearded W endish men w ere these of­ficers of th e young duchess; not a ■butterfly youngling nor a courtly ca r­p e t kn ight am ong them, but men ta n ­ned like ship men of th e Bailie, sol­d iers mostly who had served under h e r fa th er rfenrv, foraging upon occa.=slon as fa r as thc M ark ln one dlrec- t(011 «...i in to Bor-Russla in the other, m en grounded and com pacted a ftcr th e h earts of Jorian and Boris.

i t was small wonder th a t among *uch congenial society tho ex-men-at- arm s found them selves presently very much a t home. Scarcely wore they seated when Jorian began to brag -of the g ift the duchess had given him for th e maiden of his troth.

“And Boris hero, th a t hulking co­lloid, th a t H ans K lapper upon the ’housetops, had well-nigh spoiled the je s t ; for when h e r ladyship asked him a second tim e in her sw eet voice for th e name of h is ‘betrothed.’ he m ust needs, lay his tongue to ‘Gretchen,' Instead of 'K a tr in / as he had done a t

t h e firs t!”W erner von Orseln, th e eldest and

gravest, of all, glanced round th e full c irc le of his mess. Then lie looked back a t th e two captains of th e em­bassy guard of P lassenburg w ith a ;plt.ying glance.

"And you lied about your sw eet­h ea rts to the Duchess .Toan” he said.

"H a. ha! Yes! I trow yes,” quoth Jo r ia n jovially. “W ine may be dear,

w ard them and punctuating his mean­ing upon the palm of his loft hand with th e fingers of his right. “If I, W einer of Orseln, w ere now to w alk upstairs, and in so many words tell my lady, ‘the sw eet, easy princess,’ as you nam e her, Joan of the Sword, a s we a re proud—•”

"Joan of th c Sword! H och!”The men at-arm s a t the lower table,

th c boarded captains a t thc high board, the very page boys lounging in the niches, rose to th e ir feet, a t the very name, pronounced in a voice of thunder-pride by Chief Captain W er­ner.

"I thank you. gentlem en, on behalf of my lady, in whose nam e I com­mand here,’ said W erner, bowing cere­moniously to all around, while th e o thers settled them selves to listen. "Now, worthy soldiers of P lassen­burg,” he w ent on, “be i t known to you th a t if (to suppose a case which will not happen) I w ere to tell our Lady Joan w hat you have confessed to us here and boasted of—th a t you lied and double lied to her—I lay my Hie and the lives of these good fel­lows i hat the pair of you would be as wing from the corner gallery of thc L ion's Tow er in som ething under five m inutes.”

Jo rian rose to his ieet. “Up, B oris!” he cried; “no-Bor-Russian, no kern of H ohenstein th a t ever lived, shall over­crow a captain of the arm ies of Pla-s- senburg and a soldier of thc Princess H elene—H eaven bless her. Take your ring in your hand, Boris, for we will go up straightw ay, you ami I. And we will tell thc Lady Duchess Joan th a t, having no sw eetheart of legal standing, and no desire for any, we choused h e r in to the belief th a t we would bestow her rings upon our be­tro thed in th e rose gardens of P las­senburg. Then we will see if indeed we shall be asw ing in five minutes. Ready, Boris?”

"Aye, th rice ready, Jo rian !”“About then! Quick m arch !”A great noise of clapping rose all

round th e hall as the two stou t sol­diers se t them selves to m arch up tho sta ircase by which they had ju s t des­cended.

"S tand to the doors!” cried W erner, th e chief captain, "do not let them pass. Stand up and drink a deep cup to them , ra ther! To Captains Jorian and Boris of Plassenburg, b rave fel­lows bo th !”

The to ast was drunk amid m ulti­tudinous shoutings and handshakings. The two men had stopped perforce, for the doors w ere in the hands of the soldiers of tho guard, and the pike points clustered thick In th e ir paths They turned now in the direction of tho high table from which they had risen.

•<oxt down, gentlem en, and I also will sit. Now hearken well," said W erner; “ these good fellows of mine will bear me out th a t I lie not. You have done bravely and spolccr. up like good men taken in a fault. But we will not perm it you to go to your deaths. For our Lady Joan Cod bless h e r—would no t tak e a false wore from any—no, not If St w ere on Tw elfth N ight or a fte r a C hristm as merry-making. She would not forgive it from your old Longbeard upstairs, whose business i t is—th a t is, if she found it out. ‘To th e gallow s!’ she would say, and we— why, we should sorrow for having to hasten the stre tch ings of two good men. Keep your rings, lads, ami keep also your w its about you when th e duchess questions you again. Nay, when you re tu rn to Plassenburg, he wise, seek ou t a Gretchen and a K atrin and be­stow the rings upon them —th a t is, if ever you m ean again to stand within the danger of Joan of the Sword in th is her castle of K ernsberg!”

KANSAS OIL L I IS KNOCKED OUT

Supreme Court Decides State Has No Right to Build

Refinery.

CONTRARY TO THE STATUTES

V io la te s P ro v is io n T h a t D e c la r e s “ th e S t a t e S h a l l N e v e r B e a P a r t y in C a r r y in g o n A n y W o r k s o f I n te r n a l I m p r o v e m e n ts .”

Topeka, Kan., dispatch: The S ta le Suprem e court annulled the law passed by th e legislature last w inter appropria ting $ 110,000 to build an In­dependent oil refinery a t Peru , ln a decision rendered by Justice Greene and concurred in by all th e members of the court, thc law is declared un­constitutional.

Tho decision is based on a section of the constitu tion inserted by far- seeing cap ita lists for just, such an em ergency as has arisen in Kansas.

The oil refinery law w as considered one of the m ost d irec t blows struck a t th c S tandard Oil company by the last legislature, which adopted several m easures tending to restric t th a t con­cern in th e handling of the Kansas product.

The oil refinery law provided for the erection a t P eru also of a branch of the sta te penitentiary to house suf­ficient prisoners, who, it was intended, were to work the oil plant. S tate T reasu rer T. T. Kelly and W arden E. B. Jew ett, whose duty i t was to issue the bonds, declined to sign them in order to first secure a decision on tho constitutionality of the act.

S t a t e E x c e e d s I ts R ig h ts .A ttorney General C. C. Coleman

filed m andam us proceedings in the S late Supreme court on behalf of the s ta te to compel these officers to sign the bonds.

The court holds th a t th e construc­tion of thc refinery and the branch peniten tiary in connection with i t is in violation of the s ta te constitution, which declares: “Thc s ta te shall never he a party in carrying on any w orks of in ternal im provem ent." Tho construction and operation of such a refinery, It. Is said, would be a work of in ternal Improvement.

The court, continuing, reviews the discovery of g reat quantities of oil in the s ta te ; the rapid im provem ent of the Industry, and "the general public com plaint that a particu lar corpora­tion w as unjustly m anipulating the m arket of th is product so th a t thc pro­ducer was being deprived of w hat rightfully belonged to him ,” and th a t a public demand had been made upon the leg isla tu re to enact laws to pro. tec t thc producer.

G a lls L a w a S c a re c ro w .Tho court by inference criticises

Gov. F . W. Hoch for using a scare­crow to frighten the oil tru st, so-call- ed, and then for Informing the tru s t that, th c thing he ha? se t up is a scare­crow. “Tlic indictm ent of the Stand­ard Oil company,” says the court, “Is no doubt true, and the provocation was very great, but we m ust not m ake a scare-crow of tho law.”

Gov. Hoch w as greatly disappointed in the decision, and said : "Now th a t we have s ta rted it, I w ant to go on and run our refinery. Wo would have se­cured more than Its cost in the price of oil in a few m onths. If I had been th c suprem e court I would have stra ined a point to have declared the law constitutional.”

W. £. Hyde, p resident of the Canute and Austin Oil Refinery company, said of the suprem o court decision: *

"This action of the court will not in­jure the Independent refiner. In fact, it is a benet.fi owing to thc rem oval of s ta te competition. O ur success de­pends upon tho anti-discrim ination law and upon securing fa ir ra tes for trans­portation. We can fight the Standard ju s t as well w ithout thc refinery.”

Postal Order Bars Peculiar Fiscal Institution From

FOUNDER IS GOOD BORROWER

E. G. Lewis, Magazine Publisher and Prom oter of Large Enterprises, Does Not H esitate to Accept Loans on Personal Notes.

W ashington spccial: The People’s U nited S ta tes bank of St. Louis, the unique mail order financial institution founded by E. G. Lewis, publisher of the WTom an's Magazine, and prom oter of many large St. Louis enterprises, h as been barred from ihe mails under a fraud order announced by Postm as­te r General Cortelyou.

The same order includes Lewis and all officers and agents of th e concern, which, established lo conduct a bank­ing business, «o make loans, and ac­cept deposits by mail, has done an enorm ous business it; many states.

S tate Enters Complaint.The character of the en terpriso was

first callcd in question by the Mis­souri authorities, who raised the point th a t Lewis was borrowing too heavily from the institu tion’s funds for o ther en terp rises in which he was in te r ested.

“It is understood th a t the funds of the bank which have not been bor low ed by Mr. Lew is and his enl.erprls es. am ounting to about tw o-thirds of thc to ta l am ount rem itted .” says the postm aster general in h is announce­m ent, “arc deposited ln banks and will be available toward reim bursem ent of tho stockholders, who num ber upward of 65,000.

“Lewis represented tha t he would subscribe to the capital stock a dollar for every dollar subscribed by all oth­ers, so that he would own half of the cap ita l stock. Lai-er he represented th a t he had pledged his en tire for­tune in this banking enterprise. The inspectors found tha t Mr. Lewis had not cooperated to th e ex ten t of a single dollar, although th e bank had a paid uy capital of $2,000,000.

“M arch 15. 1905, Lewis had received for shares in thc bank 82,289,043.61, and had accounted to the bank in an am ount not exceeding S2.204.994.

“This showed that every cent of thc $2,000,000 capital stock which has been paid In was paid out of subscription money received by Lewis from the

an a that, none of his own money had been inve(ltGd jn the enterprise. This was fmmd to be the {act al­though Mr. i.ew js had slated w rit­ing to the inspectors th a t $195,750 of the 8500.000 paid In a t the original in­corporation of the bank w ere his per- sonal funds. Subsequently a t the hearing before A ssistant A ttorney G eneral Mr. Lewis adm itted tha t th a t money was received by him from the people and w as not his own.

"The evidence shows, and Lewis ad­m itted, th a t hundreds of thousands of dollars w ere loaned to him self and his various en terprises, practically a t his will. The day after (he investigation began he placed in the asse ts two notes—one for $50,000, signed by him ­self alone, w ithout collateral, thc o ther for $146,375.63, signed by the board of directors. Mr. Lew is received no money from the bank a t th a t time, the notes being put Into the bank to covcr money previously expended by him.

“ March 29 Lewis had loaned to him ­self and his en terprises $907,538.83.

“ These loans include $146,375.63 to the directors, $390,000 to thc Lewis Publishing Company, $346,163.20 to the U niversity H eights Realty and De­velopm ent Company, and $25,000 to E. G. Lewis. At th a t tim e Mr. Lewis had 843,730 of the bank’s money in­vested in stocks and bonds of his en­terprises. The evidence fu rth er showed tha t Lewis had agreed to loan 806,660.66 of the bank's money on an unsecured note, but was prevented from doing so by Secretary of Stato Swanger.

The U niversity H eights Realty and D evelopm ent Company, which had borrowed fro m the bank $346,163.20, and the stock of which to the ex­te n t of 1.277 shares Mr. Lewis sold to thc bank, is shown to have assets consisting for thc m ost part of land purchased for $200,000 as a speculation in suburban property, and upon which Mr. Lewis sta ted about $150,000 had been expended in im provem ents. Its liabilities are shown to be $674,700.53. On April 8, 1905, the cashicr of the bank told the inspectors th a t 4.381 shares of the increased capital stock had been issued and in every In­stance the shareholder had signed a proxy appointing Mr. Lewis to vote the stock.

“Mr. Lewis is receiving a large num ­ber of rem ittances for stock in the bank in h is own name. It fu rth er ap­pears th a t it. is the in tention of thc bank to increase its stock to 85,000,- 000."

General H itchcock began the dis­charge of his duties ho found th a t orders for thc purchase of supplies were being approved in the most per­functory m anner. He decided to put an end to such slipshod m ethods and w ith th a t end in view decided not to sign any le tter until he had read its contents. As he receives several hun­dred daily he soon found th a t ln order to carry out his plan he would have to work about twenty-fours a day, so he was forced to give i t up.

M A R K E T IN G P O T A T O C R O P S .In line with the classic, case of the

oyster shippers, cited by P residen t H adley of Yale U niversity In h is book on Railroad T ransportation, is the case of the Aroostook potato grow ers brought by P resident T u ttle of the Boston and Maine Railroad before the Senate Com m ittee on In te rs ta te Com­m erce. N othing could b e tte r show how a railroad works for the in te rest of the localities which it serves.

A m ain dependence of the farm ers of th e Aroostook region is the potato crop, aggregating annually eight to ten million bushels, which find a m ar­k e t largely In Boston and the adjacent thickly se ttled regions of New Eng­land. The competition of cheap w ater transporta tion from Maine to all points along the New England coast keeps railroad fre igh t ra te s on these pota­toes always a t a very low level.

Potatoes are also a considerable out­put of thc truck farm s of Michigan, th e ir norm al m arket being obtained In and through D etroit and Chicago and o ther com m unities of tha t region.

Not many years ago favoring sun and rains brought a trem endous yield of potatoes from th c Michigan fields. A t norm al ra te s and prices th ere would have been a g lut of the custom­ary m arkets and the potatoes would have rotted on thc farm s. To help the potato grow ers thc railroads from Michigan made unprecedentcdly low ra te s on potatoes to every reachable m arket, even carrying them in large quantities to a place so rem ote as Bos­ton. T he Aroostook grow ers had to reduce the price on tlscir potatoes and even then could not dispose o f them unless the Boston and Maine Railroad reduced its already low ra te , which it did. By m eans of these low' ra tes, m aking possible low prices, th c potato crops of both Michigan and Maine w ere finally m arketed. Everybody ea ts potatoes, and th a t year every­body had all thc potatoes he wanted.

W hile the Michigan railroads made ra tes th a t would have been ruinous to the railroads, bad they been applied to the m ovem ent of ail potatoes a t all tim es, to all places, they helped tbeir patrons to find m arkets then. The Boston and M aine Railroad suffered a decrease in its revenue from potatoes, b u t it enabled the Aroostook farm ers to m arke t th e ir crop and thereby to obtaiu money which they spent for the varied supplies which tho railroads brought to them . If the m aking of ra tes were subject to governm ental ad justm en t such radical and prom pt action could never have been taken, because i t Is well established th a t if a ra te be once reduced by a railroad company it. cannot be restored through th e red tape of governm ental proec dure. If the Michigan railroads and th e Boston and Maine Railroad had been subjected to governm ental limi­ta tion they would have fe lt obliged to keep up th e ir ra tes as do the railroads of France and England and Germany under governm ental lim itation and le t the potatoes ro t— ■Etfhange.

The W hite R iver Division of thc Iron M ountain Route betw een New­port, A rkansas and C arthage, Mo., is rapidly approaching completion, and reports of represen tatives of the Gen eral P assenger Deartm ent, who recen t­ly made complete trip over thc line, Indicates th a t through tra in s will be running Inside of sixty days.

“W hile several thousand tou rists have already m ade th e trip from each end of the completed line, and we have hauled during the m onth of June over forty fishing parties from Car­thago, who desired to m ake the five- day float from Galena lo Branson, re­turn ing on tra in in lifly mlnul.es, for th c complete daylight run over thc new line.” said Mr. H. C. Townsend, General Passenger Agent, “there will be a tou rist trave l unprecedented over any line in th is part of th c country. The fishing proposition Is becoming so well-known tha t a num ber of club­houses on the Jam es River, between G alena and Branson, are now' com­pleted and are taxed to the ir capacity.

“The rom antic features of the new line are natu rally thc ones to a ttra c t th c most general attention , but the agricu ltural and m ineral possibilities of th is new region a re rem arkable.

“T he road Itself is a m arvel of en­gineering and the eighty-five pound rail w ith rock ba llast prom ises the h ighest degree of speed and safety.”

Topeka, Kan., special: C. J . Devlin has filed in the United S tates d istrict court a voluntary petition in bank­ruptcy. This action was decided upon at a lengthy conference betw een Mr. Devlin and his attorneys.

Mr. Devlin was ir. favor of the move because it would centralize the hand­ling of all h is properties, and make easier thc se ttlem en t with all h is crcd* itors, the principal one of which is tho F irst National Bank.

The sta tem en t of Devlin’s liabilities is given as follows: F irs t National bank. Topeka, $1,200,000; C entral Na­tional bank, Topeka. $300,000; Amcri- can National bank, K ansas City, about $263,000; National Bank of Commerce, K ansas City, about $200,000; Corn Exchange National Bank, Chicago, about $150,000; C ontinental N ational bank, Chicago, $150,000; C entral T ru st company Chicago, about §70,00; Bank of Topeka. Topeka, about $30,000; Union National hank, of K ansas City, about $9,000; H irsch, St. Louis, about $5,000; the. M er­chants’ National bank, Topeka, about $5,000; Long Brothers, K ansas City, about $4,060; Southw estern Fuel com* pany. Topeka. S138,00ft; Fourth Na­tional bank, St. Louis, about. 8200,000; F irst National bank, Toluca, III.; Spring Valley National bank, Spring Valley, 111., and two national banks in the city of New York, whose nam es the petitioners do not k.xow, am ounts not given.

S a n ta F e to G iv e A id .The Santa Fe Railroad is preparing

to extend aid to all the Devlin com­panies un til such a tim e as a final settlem ent can be made. This step is being considered by the company as the best method of protecting itself from loss. All the Santa Fe m ines in K ansas are being operated by Dev­lin, and i t is necessary to keep the mines running in order th a t the road may be supplied coal.

Governor Hoch fixed th e new' bond to be given S tate T reasu rer Kelly at $750,000, and also asked Kelly to give a bond of $500,000 to replace the old bond, signed by Devlin, which Kelly gave la s t winter.

Charles S. Glee, who has been in­vestigating th e conditions of thc estate of C .-L -D evlin , said there was abso­lutely no justification for the report that, Mr. Devlin owed $700,000 in Bal­tim ore. There Is, it. was stated , a prob­ability tha t the Devlin coal mines at Toluca, III., and M arquette, Mich., and also the Toluca und M arquette Rail­road may be sold.

New York dispatch: Jam es B. Dill, one of th c forem ost corporation law­yers of America, has been appointed by Governor Stokes of New Jersey a Judge of the court of erro rs and ap­peals of that, state, the hom e of tru sts . He surrenders an income of $300,000 a year from his law' practice to be­come a judge with a salary of 88000 a year. H is last private ac t was to re ­fuse a re ta iner c f $25,000 offered by an insurance financier.

No personal event of reccnt times has caused so much com m ent in the Wall s tre e t region as th is appointm ent and its acceptance. Although m ain­tain ing his residence in New’ Jersey, Mr. Dill has been considered a New York lawyer. H is office is in the h ea rt of the financial region, close by the Stock Exchange, th e subtreasury, the leading banks and the life in­surance buildings.

Many of the g reat tru s ts have been h is clients—indeed lie was th e legal fa th e r of scores of them — and he has been sought in consultation in nearly every im portan t financial litigation.

According to a close friend of Mr. Dili the step from the riches of corpor­ation law to the com paratively digni­fied poverty of the bench was taken a fte r m ature thought, in which the recent scandals of high finance and the dem ands made upon law yers to save the ir capitalistic clients from the law had weighty influence on his decision.

A m inister speaks of the curious ef­fec t of Grape N uts food on him and how' it has relieved him.

"You will doubtless understand how the suffering w ith indigestion w ith which I used to be troubled m ade my work an alm ost unendurable burden, and why it was th a t a fte r my Sabbath duties had been performed, sleep was a s tran g er to my pillow till nearly day­light..

“ I had to be very careful as to w hat I at.e, and even with all my care I ex­perienced poignant physical d istress a ftc r meals, and my food never sa tis­fied me.

“ Six m onths have elapsed since I began to use Grape-Nuts food, and tho benefits I have derived from it are very definite. I no longer suffer from indigestion, and I began to improve from th e tim e Grape-Nuts appeared on our table. I find th a t by eating a dish of it a fte r my Sabbath work is dono (and I always do so now) my nerves aro quieted and re s t and refresh ing sleep aro ensured me. I feel th a t t could not possibly do without Grape- Nuts food, now th a t I know Its value. I t Is Invariably on our table—wc feel th a t wc need it to complete thc meal —and our children will e a t Grape- N uts w hen they cannot, be persuaded to touch anything else."

T hen again because Defiance S tarch is free from all injurious chem­icals. If your grocer tiles to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance.

STATISTICIAN LOSES HIS JOB

Secretary Wilson Dismisses -ManFrom Government Service As Reisuit of Charges Filed On Behalf ofCotton Growers’ Association.

W ashington dispatch: The depart, m ent of A griculture has taken its place among the o ther departm ents o f ihe governm ent in w hich a scan­dalous condition of affairs, brought about th rough faithleSB employes, is an established fact. The scandal in Secretay W ilson’s departm en t consists of a big leak in th e bureau of s ta tis ­tics in which figures relating to the staple crops of tho country are com* piled. The established fac t is that brokers in New York have had ac* vance inform ation as lo th e flgurc-a th a t w ere to be published respecting the cotton crop.

Secretary W ilson granted an interi view to Edwin 3. Holmes, associate sta tistic ian , who w as suspended from officc on June 9 last, on account oj th e charges filed on .Tune 2 by Richard Cheatham, secretary of the Southern Cotton Growers’ association.

T he charge of g rea te r gravity was th a t inform ation of the operations ol th e s ta tis tic ian 's office got into the hands of Theodore Price, a New York broker, long enough lo enable him and those associated with him to work the m arket, not only in New York, but other places where there is specula­tion in cotton.

S tatistic ian In Disgrace.A fter the interview Holm es an­

nounced to a friend that his connec­tion w ith the government had ceased. T he inference is th a t he was dism iss­ed.

It is believed th a t the revelations m ade by the secre t service agents, who have been investigating the m at­te r for -a month, will resu lt in a re ­organization of the bureau of sta tistics and the re tirem ent or tran sfe r of the chief sta tistic ian , John Hyde. The chief had sta rted on a trip to Kurope when Ihe charge w as m ade by Mr. Cheatham . The suspension of Holmes was sufficient to cause his recall from his vacation.

I t Ls asserted th a t big cotton specu­lators in New York have actually pro­cured the em ploym ent of men in the departm ent, apparently fo r the pur­pose of getting possession of the con­fidential inform ation.

Money Flows His Way.Holm es and a form er employe oi

the governm ent who worked in the di­vision of sta tis tics. Moses H aas, arc e recting a line apartm ent-house in this city. W hen H aas cam e here he was glad to g e t employment. a(. any figure. He got ou t about th ree years ago on account of a prospective matrimonial ven ture w ith th e daughter of a con­gressm an from Tennessee. Since that tim e ho has been am assing weaithr a p id ly .

H olm es told h is friends th a t he had made his money in a m ining venture. They had no inform ation to the con­trary . They have now. H aas and Holmes are regarded as rich men by th e ir associates.

S ecretary Wilson w as simply as­tounded by the resu lt of the investiga­tion begun by his direction. H e has heretofore alw ays scoffed a.; (he idea th a t th e re could be a leak in the bu­reau of statistics. Tho figures were never made up until the day of publi­ca tio n ,'an d those who were in trusted w ith th is ta sk were segregated in q p rivate room and could not. hold any communication with the outside world until a fte r tho figures w ere given out,

Secret Reports for Brokers.W hen the com pilers went into that

room they took with them reports from the s ta te agents and from 13. C. W hite, the general traveling agent, who is supposed to be th e b es t man in th e country on estim ating i,he yield of cotton from m erely looking a t Jt as th e p lan ts grow in the field. These reports were to be used to co rro /t the reports from the *50,0 00 township and county reporters. They were supposed to be kep t in a safe and under seal. They w ere supposed to be kept, there until the day for m aking up the li”;. ures. The chief fact developed by the secre t service men is th a t they were net. They were opened and the facts contained in them were used lo supply ihe coi.lon brokers.

A nother m ateria l facc developed is th a t the estim ates put ou t by he divis­ion of satistics were evidently dots tored for the purpose of enabling the operators to create the sore of m arket they desired. In th is way it is believ­ed th a t forunatc brokers buncoed the public out of millions of dollars.

W itness Refuses to Bring Books Into Milwaukee Court.

Milwaukee, Wis., d ispatch: Judge com plications in tho General P aper Company’s ease resulted from the ex­am ination of K. T.

Be­cause of his refusal to answ er the question w ether he would bring the books and records of his company into court, the a ttorneys for th e govern­m ent say they will ask Judge Seaman for an order citing Harmon to appear and show cause for his refusal.

M in o t S a v a g e s s a P r o p h e t .Away back in the forties the village

school a t NorridgGwock, Me.,was kept one w inter by Solomon BJxby, a red ­headed and very nervous young man. who used the furule very freely, and often unjustly. Among the scholars ilia* w inter w ere the now Rev. Minot Savage, W illiam Stew ard, a clever Irish lad, but thick-headed and always blundering, and forever falling under dlclplinc. aud the p resen t w riter. It seemed to us as though the teacher was never so happy as when punishing the Stew ard boy.

One m orning the teacher cam e in a little late, finding the scholars all in th e ir places, hut as he hurried in he tripped, and came very near sprawling on the floor. H e w as trem endously flustratod a s he gathered- him self up. and looked very red in th e face and angry.

Young Savage, then about 12 years old, and a favorite w ith fill his mates, w itty then, as now, said in a hoarse w hisper to h is neighbor. “ T hat m eans ano ther lickin’ for Bill S tew ard!” And, sure enough, though the whole school was convulsed. Dili w as the only one th a t got punished for laughing.

Arriving at a Verdict.Kushcqun, Pa.. Ju ly 10.— (Special)—

In th is section of Pennsylvania there is a growing belief that, for such Kid­ney D iseases as Rheum atism and Lam e Back there is only one sure cure and th a t is Dodd’s K idney Pills. This belief grows from such eases as th a t of Mrs. M- H. Davison of th is place. She tells ike story h erse lf as follows:

’T have suffered from Rheum atism for th irty years and find th a t Dodd's K idney Pills have done me more good th an any m edicine I have ever taken. I w as also bothered with Lam e Back and I can only say th a t my back hasn 't bothered mo since 1 took Dodd's Kid­ney Pills.”

Considering th a t Mrs. Davison only took two boxes of Dodd’s K idney Pills, the resu lt would be considered wonder­ful if it w ere not th a t o thers are re ­porting sim ilar results daily. Kushe- qua is fast a rriv ing a t a verd ic t th a t “Dodd’s K idney Pills arc the one sure cure for Rheum atism .”
