Acton Park improvements.

The board of Acton Park Assembly, at a
recent meeting, made arrangements to refund
a part of the debt of the association and
Superintendent Hodell was instructed to pro-
coed at once with the lake improvements.
Some weeks ago, when the regular meeting
of the board was to have been held, three
of the trustees, who found themselves UNI
able to attend, sent in their designations,
thereby inadvertently breaking q quorum.
The only reason they had for Offering their
designations was to enable the board to
take speedy action on the improvements,
each one thinking that as he would not at
tend it would be well 10 permit the board
to put some one in his place, thereby en-
abling it to go ahead with business without
being embarrassed None of them had any
idea that quorum would be broken, and
later they all withdrew their designations.
The meeting recently held was harmonious
one and the affairs of the association were
shown to be in excellent shape. 1t is thought
that the lake improvements can be made
in time to receive the benefit of the fall and
winter rains thereby making 1t possible to
harvest crop of ice for the use of the cot
tagers next assembly. G. w. Gadd, the Sec
rotary of the association, is enthusiastic on
the outlook for next years season.

CHANGING TO GOLD STANDARD.
Russian Government Found 1t Had
to RecOin Its ROubIes.

WASHINGTON, July T.-Russia has ex-
perienced some difficulty in reversing her
standard of value by simple decree, as
shown in a report to the State Department
by United States Consul Heenan at Odes-
sa- He says: The change inaugurated
about two years ago iE the currency OF
Russia from silver to what is supposed to
be d gold basis has had a somewhat de-
pressing effect on the mind of the peasant
farmers By imperial edict it was made
known that a five-rouble gold piece would,
until further notice, be equal to seven rou-
bles and fifty copecks paper currency, and
a check drawn on any Russian bank for
rs roubleS must be considered paid should
the holder receive 80 roubles in gold. The
masses of Russia are said to be uneducated
and ignorant; nevertheless, when they were
offered q fiYe-rouble gold piece in payment
for q debt due them for seven roubles and
fifty copecks, they refused to accept it and
pointed out that stamped on the gold piece
in plain Russian characters, Were the words
Five Roubles," and they furthermore de-
manded to know why 1t was that they were
expected TO believe that twice two and a
half made seven roubles and fifty copecks
in money or anything else. The govern
ment officials were equal TO the emergency
and recOined the same nVe-rouble piece and
stamped on it seven roubleS and fifty CO.
pecks which illustrates the old adage that
there are more ways of killing a cat than
bY choking il with butter"

SENATOR MoRGAN's CLAIM.
Figures to show Uncle sam Would
Lose $25,OOO,OOO in L. II. Deal.


WASHINGTON, July T.-Senator Nor
gan, of Alabama, occupied most of the day
in the Senate to-day in support of the Har-
ris resolution relating to the Union Pacific
Railroad. He severely arraigned the ex-
ecutive Officials connected with a sale of
the government interests in the road. Final
action on the resolution was not reached.
Mr. Quay, who yesterday tried to induce
the Senate to adjourn over until Monday,
made the point of no quorum as soon as
the journal had been approved in the Sen
| ate to-day. Only forty-one senators an
sWered to their names and ON motion of
Mr. Jones, of Arkansas the sergeant-at-
arms was instructed to notify absentees
that their presence was required The Sem
ate confereeS on the tariff bill were sum-
moned from their committee room and
swelled the attendance to a quorum. After
the usual routine business connected with
the presentation of bills and memorials, the
Senate, at l2;lo p. m, on motion or Mr..
Carter, of Montana, went into executive
session. The doors were opened at 2:30 p.
m and Mr. Morgan then took the floor in
support of the Harris resolution.
He presented figures TO show that the
loss to the government if the pending
Union Pacific settlement was carried out,
would be $25 00,000 and he commented on
the fact that in doing this the Union Pacific
would secure property which they pro-
posed to capitalize at $262 600 900. The SEN
ator declared that the agreement for the
sale of the governments interests in the
| Union Pacific was viOlatlve of the statutes.
Mr.: Morgan urged that the agreement by
which the reorganization committee would
bid $45000,000 for the government interest
was expressly designed TO shut out other
bids as 1t permitted the committee to use
the $170OO,O00 sinking fund in the treasury
as a part of their bid. while other bidders
had no access to this SIT 900 900. He pre-
sented a. series of points showing he said,
the ''monstrous fraud" and the Scheme 0f
! extortion and oppression" constituting the
'most audacious plan of railroad Wrecking
ever devised"
The senator said President Mckinley
could not afford to carry out the agreement
concerning the Union Pacific made by
President Cleveland; he could not afford to
become the administrator de bonis non of
a Cleveland administration so offensive as
to wreck any man. Mr.. Morgan had not
concluded when at 5:25 p. m. he yielded for
an adjournment.

and deeply interested in the Archer con-
solidaton, which is made up OF the Home,

mines. Mr.. Reed was trustee of the Archer
The plaintiffs. the Eastern stockholders,
charge very plainly that Campion and Reed
have falsihed their reports of the yield of
the Archer consolidation The stockholders
declare that 100000 has been taken from
one mine in the consolidation alone They
charge that this mine was worked day and
night by men trusted by Campion and
Reed who entered a secret chamber in 1t

nearly petered out, but the gold which came
from a quartz lead in the Archer consoll-

WOMEN BREAK ROCK
Innovation Introduced at Leaven-
worth-It Works Well.

LEAVENWORTH. Kan.,' July H.
Women were put at work breaking rock in
the Leavenworth city Jail yard about six
weeks ago. The local Populist police Of
ficials instituted this reform and they
claim whatever credit there may be at
tached to 1t.
When there are no more than two
women confined in the city jail they are
used in cleaning and scrubbing, but when
ever the number is greater they are put at
work breaking rock with small hammers
under a shed i'm the jail yard. The women
are kept apart from the male prisoners but
they are close enough TO talk and joke with
each other.
The women are compelled to put on over
aIls while at work.
The Leavenworth police officials claim
that few of the women prisoners object to
breaking rock and that some of them ask
to be allowed to do So They also claim
IL has a good effect on them. The women
as a rule do not break much rock and they
are allowed TO work in their own way,
while tho men are treated with more firm
ness,

KIPLING'S LATEST.
Poem the Aftermath of the Great
Jubilee Frenzy.

LONDON. July 1.-THE Times publishes
five stanzas by Rudyard kipling, entitled
"Recessional'' The first stanza is as fol-
lows:
God of our fathers, known of old.
Lord of our tar-hung battle line,
Beneath whose awful nand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine;
Lord God of hosts, be with US yet,
Lest We forget, lest we forget
The tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the kings depart" etc.
Describing the cessation of the jubilee
festivities the poem continues:
"Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre
Judge of the nation, spare us yet
Lest we forget lest we forget"
Then, as a warning against idle boasting.
the hnal stanZa reads:
For heather heart that puts her trust.
In reeking tube and iron Shard
All valiant dust that builds on dust
And guarding calls not Thee to guard:
For frantic boast ans foolish word,
This mercy on thy people, Lord.
Amen.
