WASHINGTON. April s.-The house commit
tee on agriculture to-day reported 10 the
house with amendments the Butierworth
bill TO define options and impose special

tons conducted in the bueketshops and
grain pits Of the country. known as ''puts'

mere speculative gambling in fictitious
farm products. 1t does not affect injurious
ly any legitimate trader or dealer in farm
staples. II seeks to, and does, impose an
internal revenue tax upon those dealers in

that the influence Of this bill will greatly

Mr.. Wilson McCandless, President of the
Allegheny National Bank, having died in
Paris, France, on the morning of November
II, 1890, it is fitting that we. the Board of
Directors of said bank and his associates in
the management of said institution, should
put on record our appreciation of his high
character as a banker and as a Christian
gentleman. From an intimate daily asso-
citation with him during the many years
covering his entire business life, we have
learned to respect him for his sterling quail
ties of manhood-his keen sense of honor,
his truthfulness, his strict regard for Justice
in all transactions, his unassailable in
tegrity, official and personal, and for his
faithful, conscientious and intelligent atten-
tion to the duties devolving upon him in the
various positions he filed; and we have
learned also to love him for his unvarying
geniality of temper and kindness of heart,
his every impulse and action being gener-
Gus {; for his unselfshness, his cheerfulness
and amiability, and for his ever kindly con-
sideration Tor the feelings of others.
In the death of Wilson McCandless this
bank has lost capable and faithful head,
the community most worthy citizen, his
friends genial companion, and his family
a model husband and father. To his be-
reaved family we tender the assurance that
our heartiest sympaties are with them, as
the blow which deprived them of their
nearest and dearest took away from us
beloved friend and valued business asso-
ciate. There is consolation for them and
for US in the remembrance that his life was
bIameless, and that when his final summons
came from the All-Father it was accom-
panied by the words so reassuring to the
departing Christian, ''We1 done, good and
faithful servant"
Resolved, That this minute be spread
upon the records of the bank, and that a
copy of it be sent to the family of the de-
ceased.

During a Panic and Did Well.
MR.. HUNTERS WORK OF CHARITY.
How Mr.. Robinson Explains So Many
Congressional Defeats.
The IRON RATES ADVANCED TO ST. PAUL

Rev. Benjamin Hunter, of Saginaw,
Mich, is in the city, having been called
here by the severe illness of his mother, who
lives at q Monterey street, Allegheny. Mr..
Hunter is well known in this city as the
gentleman who took about 45 families to
Michigan at the time of the business panic
of 1879. At present the gentleman is a con-
gregational city missionary at Saginaw. He
has an office at which articles of clothing, etc.,
can be LETT by the people of the city and
those in need can call and be fitted out in
almost whatever they need. He also an
swers calls by telephone to investigate
cases OF distress. Mr.. Hunter gives an
annual excursion into the country, taking
100 children from the city on a days out
ing. On New Years day big dinner is
served for the children of the poor.
An industrial school is also run in con-
nectlon with the mission, at which girls
from the street are taught housework, and
employment is secured for them when they be-
come old enough to work. Mr.. Hunter called
at The DISPATCH office yesterday afternoon.

lhey settled about six miles from Travis City.
in the forest of beach and maple. Now the
majority of them own good farms, and all are
getting along well. They cleared their farms
from the forest and are Independent men,
neither caring for whistle or bell.
OF example, take the case of Henry Brod-
nagn; Many people will remember him as a
peddler OF potatoes and apples in Allegheny.
HIS whole outfit, horse, wagon and all, wasn't
worth gao. He went to Michigan, and when he
ar arrived there had only money enough to pay
the nrst quarters interest on the value Of 40
acres OF land. Now he has 80 acres, and when
MS son and daughter were married he gave
each farm of 40 acres. He has made his
money out of the fruitgrowing business"
MI Hunter carries a gold-headed cane pre
sented sent him by number of newspaper men IN
1913 a1ter he had piloted them on an extensive
excursion through the Northwest. He has a
vast resource of humorous anecdotes of his
many Trips In that part of the country and is a
most interesting talker. Mr.. Hunter will
probably be in the city the balance of the week
and unless his mother grows worse will then
return to his Michigan home.
