the case on the evidence and the judge was
in quandry to place the responsibility of
an assault with deadly weapon, which was
the charge preferred against Mrs. Green.
He took the matter under advisement and
the trio walked of together.
About eight O'Clock last night Williams
came into the police station with his face
covered with blood and altogether present
ed a battered appearance. He said that
Green assaulted him while he was in bed
In few minutes an officer appeared with
Green. eyes, / done that; l slugged him, -
boosted Green, "and if it hadn't been for
the old woman he would not have been able
to walk up here. / amt goin' to let no man
talk about me. Yes. slugged him; I don't
deny it, and did it in my own house where

Quite matinee then followed, until
Judge Sanders ordered them to stop.
Williams insisted that he paid rent in the
house. too, and had right to be there.
Williams charged Green with having
stolen quart OF whisky every morning
while Green worked for the Montana club.
II know you done it," said Williams. "be-
cause carried it home for you. I'll tell
everything now" Green countercharged
Williams with stealing whisky at some
saloon, and they would have come to
blows again had not Judge Sanders re-
stored quiet. AS stated above Green gave
bail, but after he got out again assaulted
Williams and then was placed in jail with
out bail.

The manner in which the pension
sharks are using the republican party
tor their own enrichment is strikingly
shown by figures from a report made by
the pension committee to the house of
representatives last week. Mr.. Belknap,
Of Michigan, recently introduced bill
reducing the fee Of claim agents to one
dollar and the sharks made great out
CRY about it. The committee according
u collected data from which they could
learn how much Of the spoils the agents
were getting. Here are some Of the
figures:

CONFIDENCE AND BUSINESS.

THE financial skies are Frightening in
New York and as the clouds clear away
the bankers and fnancers begin to see
that the furry has been magnified into
undue proportions by unreasoning fears.
Starting among the overloaded specu-
lators of Wall street the panicky feeling
spread to legitimate business until cap
ital became timid, and buttoned up it's
pockets, and real money stringency fol-
lowed. The worst is now known to be
over, confidence is being restored and
January will see money in ample vol
ume and at easy rates in New York.
The improvement will be felt all over
the country in sixty days, and by spring
the country should be on the road to
great prosperity again. The thing now
is for the croakers, here and elsewhere,
to cease from their croaking and go to
work to improve the situation. The
conditions OF general panic do not OK
ist and we shall not experience one
unless the public, like stampeded
army, allows wild and unfounded fears
to sieze it. The Philadelphia Ledger in
sensible review Of the situation, thus
comments:
"One OF the ways to embarrass an in
stitution or firm actively engaged in any
business is that Of creating distrust of
its financial integrity, and one Of the
surest ways to injure or destroy its
credit and usefulness is for timid per
sons who have the power to do it to
push it to the wall by sudden, unex-
pected and general demands. Discre-
ton and courage are good qualities to
exhibit at the present time, and restraint
Of the gossip OF the street regarding
the financial standing Of business mon
is an excellent thing. The country was
probably never SO rich as it is to-day,
and it's riches rest upon solid founda-
tions OF financial and mercantile integ-
rity, upon It's vast natural wealth and
upon the enterprise and industry Of the
people. These temporary financial fur
ries will come upon occasion. but they
can not stay unless timidity on the one
hand and unconsidered street gossip
prolong them. The foundations of the
country's wealth and prosperity being
80 broad and deep, these periods of
financial disturbance can soon be
brought to close by common courage
and common determination to
strengthen, not to weaken by under
mining the edifice. 1t should not be
necessary for solvent institutions or SOL
vent business men to be compelled by
the prevalence of street gossip to deny
20 the public the reckless stories of
their solvency. Neither unwisdom nor
malice can do any worse thing than
throw the brand into the dry stubble.
The gossips Of the street are doing that,
however, when they talk or hint, with
out absolute proofs, of the embarrass-
ments OF business concerns or men,"
This is an admonition that is needed
il every business community.
