if you want to keep your shoes in good

if the preparation had never been used.
Put it on at night when taking off the
shoes. There is castor and like oil, also.

keep your shoes and boots in good

GEN. SPINNER. DEAD.
Ahe Well-hnown ex-Treasurer of the
United States Dies From a Cancer

Inc Wen hnown ex-Treasurer of the
united States Dies From a Cancer.
Gen; +. E. Spinner, ex-treasurer of the
un y &c states, died at Jacksonville, Fla,
aC o:oo on the evening of the 31st, from
cancer OF the nose. His curious sigma
tture, adopted to make imita-
ton difficult, which anpeared
on United States currency for so
many years was familiar to the people
OF the whole country. He was born at
German Flats (now Mohawk), N. Y. in
loO2. His father, John Peter Spinner
was priest from Baden, Germany. who
became Protestant, entered the min.
lstry and came to this country. He be-
came pastor of the German Reformed
Church at German Flats and Herkimer
in 1901.
He gave his son most careful educa-
Ilon ana had him taught two trades.
ne hrst apprentlced him to confec-
TONER IN Albany and then to saddler
in Amsterdam. In 1924 the young man
went into business for himself at Herki-
mer and prospered. He took an active
interest in politics, ard was elected a
deputy sheriff in 1929. He devoted
much of his attention to the militia. and
rose rapidly until in 1884 he became
major-general. From 1885 to 1887 he
was sheriff of the county, and in the two
following years was commissioner for
the building of the state lunatic asvlum
at Utica.
Later on he became cashier and then
president of bank at Mohawk, q posi-
ton which he retained for many Years.
In l84o he was appointed auditor of the
naval office and deputy naval officer in
New York, and remained there until
1849. He was elected to Congress as an
anti-slavery Democrat in 1854, and be-
came an active Republican on the organ
lZation of that party. He was twice re-
elected, and served in Congress from
1856 to 1861. During his last term he
was chairman of the committee on &C.
counts.
On the advent Of President Lincoln's
administration, Spinner was appointed
United States treasurer by Secretary
Chase. He served in that capacity
from March Is, 1861, to June 80, 1875.
He was. the first man to employ female
clerks in the Treasury Department.
Owing to the number of young men en-
ployed in the department who joined
the army at the front, many desks were
made vacant. Mr.. Spinner proposed to
supply their places with women, and
after encountering much opposition he
finally succeeded. When ill health
compelled him to retire in 1875, a count
of the money in his charge showed
discrepancy, but an overhauling of the
books led to a correction, and it was
shown that he was correct to a cent.
He has spent most of the time since his
resignation living in camp at Pablo
Beach, Fla.

WOOL TRADE is GOOD.

Statistics Compiled by the American
Wool Reporter Show a Good Outlook.
The American Wool Reporter in it's
annual review of the wool trade of the
United States will say tomorrow: The
amount of wool on hand in most of the
primaries in the United States is not ex-
cessive. The supply in Boston is con-
siderably lighter than a year ago,
the total stock of domestic wool being
2,774 ,432 pounds against 29,276,02S
pounds last year at this time. Offoreign
wool there are 1852, $50 pounds in
stock to-day, compared with 1871, 044
pounds last year. In other markets a
similar proportionate decrease is shown,
except in New York, where there is an
increase of 1857 900 pounds, and Chica-
go, which shows an increase of 1886, 600
pounds. A recapitulation of stocks in
principal markets to which is added the
estimated amounts in other markets,
concealed supplies and wool in pullers'
hands, gives a total supply of 92,Sl9,SS2
pounds against SO, 2S4, $50 a year ago.
The figures for the first ten months of
1890 for the whole United States show

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 31.-Temporary in
junction has been granted on petit
ton of Ernest Stuhl, of Omaha,
to prevent $l5O,OOO in bonds
voted by the city to aid the
Union Pacific in the construction Of a
union depot here, from being turned
over to that company. The injunction
is based on the ground that the Union
Pacific should all roads access to
the depot on reasonable terms.
and that it now shows plain disposition
to violate this contract. The injunction
is the result of trouble with the Milwau-
kee and Rock Island roads. The
final hearing is set for January S.
After the injunction had been
served on the Union Pacific officials,
the St. Paul made an attempt to bring
in their fast mail train over the
Union Pacific tracks, but the latter
blocked the way with an engine and
refused to obey the order of the
court. The St. Paul officials are deter
mined to force the fight and will ask the
court to enforce it's injunction, granted

MINER AND HERMANN.
Two New York Theater Managers
Burned Dat.

Burned Dat.
A New York dispatch of the Sd says:
eighteen years ago to-day the Fifth
Avenue Theater. then in the rear OF the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, on the Twenty
fourth Street side, disappeared in fame
and smoke. Within short, tine

nous Committee of Seventy had
it's birth, changed into playhouse.
Fifteen minutes or SO last night after
Fanny Davel port, in the character of
Cleopatro, had finished her perform
ance, and the audience had passed out
of the Broadway and Twenty-eighth
Street entrances, Waterman ran out of
the theater screaming Fire In
few seconds engines were
dashing up Broadway, and until
nearly ! o'clock this morning new
detachments were still responding 20
additional signals for help. What was
at first believed to be false alarm
proved to be one that destroyed whole
block upon Broad way, besides the Fifth
Avenue Theater, Hermann's new play
house, dozen stores, and threatened
the Sturtevant House on the east SIDE
of Broadway, between Twenty eighth
and Twenty-ninth Streets.
Later it is learned that at "A. NJ. six
fremen lost their lives They had gone
through Hermann's Theater to the
roof and they had just succeeded in
hosting length of hose up when the
furnace opened directly at their feet.
Five of them could not be seen from the
street, but one stood outlined against the
sea of fame that rose from the burning
buildings. A shout was made orsGallng
ladders by the fremen on Broadway,
but before they could be procured the
at the crowd below and then to dellber-
atelv walk into the fire and disappear.
During the performance in the thester
last night a sharp odor of smoke was
noticeable, and before Harry G. Miner
left the theater he went all over 1T
without discovering anything.
s'The losses cannot yet be estimated,
but will be very heavy"

Attacks Provision Train.
The Omaha Bees special from Rush-
vile, Neb., of the 30th, says: "Ativlces
from the seat of war give the news Oh
another encounter between the troops
and Indians at point within four mile
of the agency. The Seventh ana Ninth
Cavalry were Just coming In from yes

that Col. Henry is now approaching the
agency with 700 Indians captured in the
Bad Lands. This is believed to include
all the remnant Of the rebels on the res
ervation, and hopes are entertained of
a speedy settlement. 1t has cost the
lives of about 25O Indians and twenty
five or thirty soldiers killed and wound
ed to effect this result, if indeed it may
be said that peace is yet established.
The bodies Of gallant Capt. Wallace and
the other dead soldiers arrived here
at noon from the agency, and will be
shipped to Fort Robinson, the nearest
military post. Rushville is crowded
with settlers. The churches and all
public rooms are thrown open, and NO
effort is being spared to make the refu-
gees comfortable. They are here, as
previously reported, on the advice OF
Gen. Brooke. They are not only anx-
ious to defend their homes, but many
are ready to enlist with the regulars II
further fighting should occur"

Agency, S. D., says: "Two troops of
the Ninth Cavalry and three companies
of the Eighth Infantry lave been pre-
pared to move at a moments notice.
Last night orders came for them to start

sensational Suicide of La Crosse hoy In
the West-Wel1-Co Connected.
LA CROSSE, Wis, Dec. 31-Short in
his accounts as cashier of the Northern
Pacific Express Company at Spokane
Falls, Wash, Walter B..Webb, of this
city, sent two bullets into his head,
ending his life. Walter Webb was
born In La Crosse about twenty-eight
years ago, and spent his boyhood and
early manhood here. His father is
W. W. Webb, for years agent of the
American Express Company here, and
formerly postmaster. The late Gen.
Luther B. Webb, pioneer of Western
Wisconsin and brave soldier, was his
uncle. Will Webb, who was territorial
secretary of Washington Territory for
three years before the election of Har-
rlson to the presidency, was brother
OF the deceased. He was also nephew
Of j. B. Webb, who is to be assistant
railroad commissioner.
When a boy ''Wallie" Webb, as his
friends knew him, entered the Ameri-
can Express Office, serving a number of
years in various positions. Some eight
years ago he married Miss Jennie
Plumb, daughter of the master me-
cnanic of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul Railway, in this city, and one of
the bellies of North La Crosse. They
removed to Iowa, where young Webb
had accepted an office of trust with the
express people. Some time ago he
went to Washington, becoming cashier
tor the express company at Spokane
Falls. He was liberal spender, and
was always considered cone of the
boys" In his position in Spokane a
great deal of money passed through his
hands. All of it was not accounted for,
and seeing arrest and imprisonment in
store for him, young Webb fed the city.
Last evening officers in pursuit of
Webb located him at Coulee City, 100
miles west of Spokane, on the Northern
Pacific branch. Learning that de-
tective was in the hotel where he was
stopping, Webb repaired to an out
building and fred two bullets into his
head. He died instantly. Webb's
shortage in his accounts with the ex-
press company was ST. 700.

that there were fourteen less soldier
