Just now Senator Jess Butin
has much abstracting to do. He
has kindly consented to assist in
distributing a portion of the
$4,000 campaign fund sent here
to help Wheeler's election. The
boys should call early. Those
who call first are likely to fare
best. It is probable that Jess
will deny having a great amount,
but this is only a common pre-
text of the average disburser.-
Stick to him, and don't be put
off. The money should be left in
Logan and not carried to the re-
mote townships.

More Insult.

| Gen. Grosvenor's Postmaster
has again placarded the Peoples
Postoffice. 1t is not enough to
flaunt an insult to all Democrats
by spreading on the walls the
blackguardism of Wilbur F. Story
of the Chicago Times, who by
the way has gone crazy, and his
relatives are now quarrelling like
wolves over his newspaper estate,
but in addition to this inexcnsa-
bic poster. the Postofiice is pla-
carded with a bill of Carl Schurz
for $500 for each speech he may
make. This is an insult to Re-
pnblicans.
Carl Schurz may he paid Tor
his time. This is proper. We
hope he is we'll paid. If he is
high priced, the more we respect
him. He is a Republican. He
was member of President
Hayes Cabinet, and drew his
pay. No man can question his
honesty or his intelligence. He
IS Independent in his views and
has the courage to express his
convictions. He is not owned or
controlled by any party. he is
representative German, and
has risked his life for his princi-
Piles. 1t is provoking that the
Government Office, the Postoffice, !
the peoples Office, should flaunt
such curbstone conception in the
face of the public.
The attempted ridicule at Carl
Schurz is a drive by the Grosve-
nor-Pnrsell element at Colonel
Rempel.

vulsed by revolution, and the in
telligence and free thought of

which Daniel Webster once said
was mightier than armies and

That they had too long trusted

ferred to the superintendent and engineer.
A communication was read from F. B.
Long, the owner of the Kasota block, asking

Especial Tele gram to the Globe

Especial Tele gram to the Globe.l
New YORK, Oct. 16-The stock market
continues to sag under d combination of
political and other influences, and it is es
tlmated that bear campaign has been in
augurated which will carry stocks several
points lower. The market opened this morn
ing with the bears in full control. A break
in Chicago, Burlington 81 Quincy to 1908
was the most important decline in the early
dealings, while later Michigan Central lost
over per cent, selling at SIS. Prices
throughout were lower than on last evening,
and there appeared to be no disposition to
buy stocks except by shorts, who covered in
moderate way as the day advanced. Van
deroilt is known to be selling Lake Shore as
fast as he can get rid of it, and his statement
that he would invest 100000 in Lake
Shore if he had it to spare is considered
buncombe. 1t is claimed that the road is
not earning dividends and brokers
say that the stock will vet
sell at 40c. Northwestern earnings
again show heavy decrease Western oper-
ators, however, claim to have information of
bull pool in the stock formed to boom
prices three or four points for time. The
coal situation fails to improve, eastern and
western railroad rates are so completely de-
moralized as to shake confidence in the whole
list Of stocks. The war on rates between the
pool lines is shown to-day by the announce
ment of the West Shore road that passenger
fares to all points over that line are reduced to
lie per mile. This is practically cut of so
per cent. upon the pool rate to Chicago and
regarded as only a stepin forcing the fight
on the part of the Vanderbilt confederacy
Lower passenger and freight rates and a gen.
eral break from pool restrictions are pre-
dicted. Most OF the leading houses are
bears on the market, and advise sales on
every rally. Vanderbilt is bearish on his
own stocks, and expresses the opinion that
Lake Shore, Northwestern and New York
Central will sell at about The same price
Gould says that the public will not buy Van
derbilt stocks when Vanderbilt himself will
not support TEEN. The completion
of the second Bennett-Mackey cable will
soon be followed by cut in cable rates
which will reduce Western earnings mater
tally. Free selling of Central & Hudson was
a feature during the morning, though the
stock stood up remarkably well. Delaware
d Lackawanna and Union Pacific continue
the leaders, and were supported by their
friends. There was a good business in
about half dozen stocks during the earlier
hours. The market toward the last became
very dull, and so remained up to the finish,
the closing prices as general thing show
inc a SLIGHT shriD<ape for the dav The short
interest, particularly in the Vanderbilts, is
not sufficiently large yet to warrant the be-
lief that any shifts for the better by change
of front on their part is likely to come right
away. The close was dull and featureless.

THE NEW CABLE.
The Landing of the Bennett Mackey
Cable at New York to be
Accomplished To-day.

NEW YORK, Oct! 16.-The steamer Fara-
day, with the commercial cable, anchored
opposite the Coney island life-saving station.
about two miles off the shore at 2:15 this
morning. She Lowered three RATS and at s
commenced letting out cable and coiling il
upon the rafter. AT 80 a boat containing
the chief electrician, Frank Brittle, put of
from the Faraday and arrived at the island at
9. Brittle examined the landing place,
trench and station, which he found satisfac-
tory. He then returned to the ship. A few
minutes after II two boats were towed from
the Faraday by the tug j. II. Stranahan,
with rope to pull the RATS ashore, and re-
turned. Second Officer Hicks, in charge
OF the boats, said the cable was nearly all
coiled on RATS and would probably reach the
shore with it at 1 o'clock A strong west
wind was then blowing, but not a very heavy
surf. The deep sea section from Canso was
buoyed eighty-tive miles from here The
shore section will extend five miles, where
the intermediate section will be spliced at
the receiving and testing station, situated
| one-eighth Of a mile east of the Oriental
hotel, the carpenters were busy at an early
hour, finishing the interior. All instru-
mentsfor testing the cable are placed in
readiness. Electrician Pratt, from the Sic
mems Bros. and Charles Cuttriss Cable com
pany, arrived early to superintend the ar
rangements of the receiving shore.
and in behalf of the company. A trench
dug yesterday from the bulkhead 200 Yards
| from the life saving station to the cable
station was partly filled during the night but
the gang of men dug the trench again.
Electrician Cuttris placed United States
| flag in the sands near the commencement of
the trench About 100 people including
| several ladies, arrived on the regular train,
and 200 arrived on a special train, shortly
after, ali headed by band marched to the
| place selected for landing the cable. These
soon marched back again and eujoyed
luncheon, prepared for some 200 invited
! guests. AfterQ congratulatory speeches
made by officers and friends of the enter
| prise, 1t was made known that all hopes of
landing the commercial cable to-day we're
| given up, and all parties interested left for
home The delay was caused, so far as
known, by the hawser becoming entangled
with the propeller tug Stranahan, while pap
ing out and intended for hauling to the
shore the RATS bearing the cable. At O'Clock
the tug was still along side the Faraday, and
the cable apparently all coled on the RATS,
but no indications of moving. It is expected
the cable will be landed at daylight tomorrow

Milwaukee News.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 76-The residence
of Mrs. Anna Holfelter, on the Cedarsburg
road near this city, was burglarized last
night, and 5000 secured by the burglars. A
regular band Of burglars have been operating
in and around Milwaukee for several weeks
past, and a score of robberies have been re-
ported to the police.
The usual fall ravages of scarlet fever and
diphtheria have begun, and thirty-fve or
forty cases have been reported during the
past few days. The scarlet plague has
broken out in the Girls Industrial school,
and three of the inmates are very low and
ten others i'll from the dread disease. All Of
the girls in school we're exposed to the dis
ease before 1t was discovered. The health
commissioner placarded and quar-
antined the school this morn
ny, and it is feared the disease will
play particular havoc in the penal school,
where 160 inmates and large corps Of
officers are more or less confined. OF late
the inmates have been so healthy that the
attending physician visited the school only
once week. This allowed the disease to
gain much Roadway before its discovery.
John Ovens, an attendant at the Milwaukee
insane asylum, was attacked by an inmate
late yesterday and was severely cut with a
large carving knife. To-day he is reported
TO be dying. Owens is New York man
