How The Farmers Fare.


The statistics of the treasury department
show that in the last year of the McKin-
ley tariff the exports of American agricul-
tural products amounted to 1871, l25, 290.
The imports of foreign agricultural rrod-
ucts, competing directly with the labors of
American farmers, during this period were
SOL, Ala, S44. In the first year of the Will
son tariff, which Democratic newspapers
confidently asserted would enable the farm
ers of the United States to conquer the
'markets of the world our sales of farm
products abroad fell to 1901, 57S,9 SS. For
these twelve months our agricultural i'm
ports increased to S107, 343,522 This
means that loss to American farmers in a
year of Democratic tariff reform" is more
than 1925, 900, 900 in this item alone. What
they have lost by the fall in the value of
sheep and wool, because wool has been
made free, it is difficult to say, but it is GER
tain that the amount runs far up into the
millions.

jorities on November ) were particularly
emphatic in the rural regions of New York,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Ohio.

A snfe nIower Captured.

The Boston & Albany railroad depot at
Athol was entered by burglars Saturday
morning about o'clock and the door of
the safe was blown into atoms with dyna-
mite. The explosion awoke j. Fl. Sedg-
wick, the son of the station agent, who got
up and fired at the burglars from window
with a Winchester. Several shots were
exchanged, when the thieves disappeared
without securing anything. They
afterward visited the depot and post-office
at South Athol, and everything was thrown
into confused state. One of the robbers
was captured near South Athol Sunday
night. Some boys saw four men in a
barn. Two searching parties were organ
lied and the strangers here accosted. They
answered with pistol shot and started for
the woods. They were fired upon and one
man was wounded, captured, taken to
Athol, and given in charge of Sheriff
Doane. A large amount of shot lodged in
his head, arm and back. He had in his
possession a roll of fuse, a quantity of
large and small shot, and empty 40 calibre
and SO calibre revolvers. The man gives
his name as Richard Burns. He is very

The Western Metropolis in a BAD WAY
Financially.
meeting of business men was held at
chicago Friday night to discuss reform in
tax laws and revenue systems. Mayor
Swifts address created a sensation. He
said 1t was a splendid idea to discuss
schemes which would bring results six or
seven years hence, but some plan by which
Chicago could be rescued from the most
distressing emergency into which any CITY
had ever been thrown would please him
better.
The mayor declared that he expects to
be compelled to close several bridges and
viaducts because it is criminal careessness
to risk human lives on their rotten founda-
tions. He said public safety demanded an
increase of 800 men in the police depart
ment with no possible way of providing
against the menacing danger He pic
tured the health department in a crippled
state and concluded the gloomy presenta-
ton with the statement that with the
streets reeking with filth, the meagre street
cleaning appropriation is all but exhausted.
The fire department is handicapped by lack
of funds, and the local government was
suffering for money and being conducted
largely to avoid an increase of the floating
Indebtedness of S5,000,000.
A general discussion of the situation
followed and the meeting was adjourned
until today. In the meantime a committee
of five will prepare some definite plans to
be worked on at the next gathering in
order that the present embarrassed finan-
cial condition of the city may be dealt with
properly.

The Pynchon House Mt westmOreland
Destroyed by Fire.

The Pynchon House at Westmoreland
was burned to the ground early Saturday
morning, the flames breaking out in the
basement from some unknown cause about
2 o'clock. The inmates, including the
proprietor, Henry c. Crowhingshield, and
his wife and two children, and several men
employed by the telephone company, es-
capped with only their personal effects.
Mrs. Crowningshield was taken from
window on the second floor, and one of the
liremen, Thomas Henderson, jumped from
the third story, but was not injured. The
village is without fire protection and the
flames had full sway. The barn nearby
also took fire and was burned with most of
the contents, although the live stock was
saved. The loss was about $4,000, with
only $1,000 insurance. Mrs. Growing
shield was the owner of the property. The
house did a good business and during the
summer was always filled with city board
ers. A hotel on the same site, owned by
Holland Bennett, was burned in 1878 and
the Pynchon House was erected by sub
scriptions of Westmoreland people and Mr.
Bennett became its first landlord. Among
its other propretors have been A. W. Burt
c. p. Cotton, now of Ludlow, VT, Chas.
Stearns of Hinsdale; Geo. 7. Cobb OF
Keene and James Pullen of Brattleboro.
1t is not known whether the house will be
rebuilt.

The sad End ofPeter McGeoch, the Mill
wRuItee Capitalization he Lost ST.
100000 In Two Hours.
Peter McGeoch, the capitalist and spec
ulator of Milwaukee, who was known in
grain and provision circles throughout the
country, committed suicide by shooting
through the head at his summer home last
week Wednesday. Mr.. McGeoch had or
dered his carriage to drive down town at
10 o'clock, but when it was at the door he
turned suddenly and entered the house.
The coachman waited an hour. At the
end of that time the body was found in the
bath room, with the revolver clasped in the
right hand. Mr.. McGeoch left two letters
dated the previous day. They were ad-
dressed to his son, Arthur McGeoch, and
to his brother John McGeoch. They were
similar in contents and were evidently the
work of heart-broken man. The writer
said that things had reached a crisis in his
domestic affairs at last, and he would no
longer endure it. He said that the last six
years his life had been made miserable by
falsehoods and conspiraces against him,
and that he could not live through it all.
Mr.. McGeOch was as well known in Chi
cago as he was in Milwaukee. through his
DNANt
firm, Vankirk & McGeoch, operated extern
sively, and in 1915 was caught in a big deal
in which Robert Lindbl0m made a success
full plunge for months. McGeoch came to
the front again. and in 1878 was interested
in deal with Armour Plankinton & Co.,
which placed him in easy circumstances,
and he soon became a millionaire. In
January, 1888, he began the noted specu-
lation in lard which ruined him. He and
his associates attempted to corner this com
modify.
They exhausted their resources trying to
sustain the price of land, but the bears
threw thousands of tierces upon the market
and one day in April the slump came and
prices went down a cent minute. With
in two hours Peter McGeoch had lost more
than 100000, and was almost bankrupt.
For some time he was not prominent in
commercial circles, but his operations in
Milwaukee in recent years were successful
and he made another fortune. Mr.. Nc
Geoch was the father of Mrs. John w.
Flint of Bellows Falls.

Death of che Queens Private Secretary

The whole of the English royal family,
and all those connected with the court,
have been deeply grieved by the death of
Sir Henry Ponsonby, the Queens private
secretary and man who, by his tact and
clear business head and upright character,
had won the respect and liking of all those
with whom his delicate and responsible
duties brought him into contact. His death
has long been expected, for he had fit
some months ago, undoubtedly brought on
by the severe strain of work. His labors
were never ceasing. He it was who opened
the whole of the Queens correspondence,
with the exception of those letters marked
with a special sign, used by her Majesty
when corresponding with her own family
and intimate friends. To him also was
con fded the far from easy task of marking
those passages in the English daily papers
suitable for the Queens reading. Strangely
enough the typewriter has never found its
way, at least in an official capacity, into
the offices of the Queens or the Prince of
Wales's private secretaries. Accordingly
these gentlemen have to answer with their
own hands every communication, and the
amount of work this entails is something
terrible.
