Congressman w. c. Arnold writes
the REPUBLICAN that he called on Mr..
Gary, the Postmaster General, few days
ago, in relation to the newspaper report
that all postmasters would be permitted
TO serve out their full four years, except
for cause, and that he was informed by
him that such a policy had been definitely
determined upon by the present adminis-
tration, so applicants for postonices in
this locality may know what is to be ex-
pected.
One of the non-partisan tradelreviews
says: "The volume of general business,
while still much below that of prosper
ous years, is increasing from week to
week. The weekly gain is small, it is
true, and expressions of disappointment
from business people are frequently
heard yet there are more men at work
and more mills and factories in operation
than at any time since last spring. There
was larger distribution of general mer-
chandise last week than in previous
weeks, and taken as a whole the situation
is encouraging"
-"Jim" Morgan is "chronie kicker" "
He isn't satisfied with anything. "He'd
kick if he was going to be hung" A few
weeks ago he had a lot of oranges frozen
during a sudden cold snap and he
growled about that. And on Monday he
was prancing up and down in front of his
store and cussin' because the hot sun was
drying his tinware all up, and he said he
wanted to put in a stock of wire nails,
but he didn't dare, as the gas would dry
them out so that he couldn't make any
thing on them. jim wouldn't be salts

MURDER WILL OUT
The Famous Burdell Case Explained
by Confession

CHICAGO, July 31.-The Journal this
William F. Woods Of Chicago purport-
ing to give the secret of the famous
Burdell murder. DR.. Harvey Burdell,
New York dentist, was assassinated
in his office, No. 81 Bond street, forty
years ago. Mr.. Wood, in his interview
today, says that DR.. Burdell'e house
keeper, Mrs. Emma Augusta Cunning
ham, confessed herself the murderess,
she having strangled the doctor with a
cord while John ]. Eckel, her paramour.
stabbed him with dentists excavator.
The confession, according to Mr.. Wood,
was made to Mrs. DR.. James Fowler,
Woods grandmother, and wife of the
murdered Doctors partner in dentistry
Mrs. Cunningham hoped to prove her
self DR.. Burdell's wife and secure his
$1O0, 900 estate. Mrs. Cunningham made
confdante of Mrs. Fowler because the
latter had befriended her. Mr.. Wood
says the secret would not have been
divulged but for recent unpleasant ex-
periences it has cost the Wood and FoW-
ler families in making claims to the es-
tate of DR.. James Fowler, who died a
year ago at Bordeaux, France, where he
established himself as dentist one year
before the Burdell murder. The claims
of the Woods and Fowlers brought out
threatening letters to Mr.. Wood, who
was one of the most active claimants.
The letters referred to made mysterious
references to the Burdell murder.

YELLOW JACK GERM
Results of Senarilli's Search Not Very
Certain

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Surgeon-
General Wyman of the marine hospital
service has had translated the account
written by DR.. Senarilli of Montevideo 20
of his discovery of what he claims to be
the yellow fever germ and which he
calls icteroid bacillus. He says the
bacillus was discovered in the second
case examined. The doctor dwells upon
the difficulty of making sure of results
because of the numerous microbes to be
found in yellow fever. The germ which
he holds to be responsible for yellow
fever, DIR. Senarilli says, is found in the
blood or tissues and not in the CASTRO
intestinal cavities. He notes the fact,
however, that in yellow fever, as in the
typhoid, the digestive tract is the seat
of the abundant bacilli coli, but he does
not associate these with the real yellow
fever microbes. He concludes, therefore,
that the virus Of yellow fever does not
reside in the intestinal tube, "and that
it's toxin instead of being absorbed by
the intestinal walls, is elaborated into
the interior of the organs and in the
blood

GLASS PRICES
Rates Go UP and Wages Will Follow,
Sometime

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 31.-The price
of window glass has been advanced
about four per cent by the manufacture
ers. The new rate goes into effect at
once and is to continue until August 10,

lows: For 5000 box lots, 1910 and 21a;
1000 box lots 10 and 10; car lots 70 and
71a; less than car lots 60 and 90
The National Manufacturers associa-
ton sent a communication to President
Simpson Burns of the Window Glass
Workers association requesting con-
ference on the question of wages for
the next fire. A date was soon agreed
upon and the conference will be held in
Chicago, Wednesday, August IL.
An advance in wages will certainly be
agreed upon at the conference between
the workers and the manufacturers
committee, but how much cannot be pre-
dicted at this time.

BRYAN SPEAKS
But for the Nounce Declines to Talk
Politics

FOUNTAIN GEYSER, Wyo., July 81.
w. J. Bryan left here at o'clock this
morning for the interior of the park,
with the Lake hotel as his objective
point He spent several hours in the
Upper Geyser basin among the geysers.
He remained there so long that he aban-
doned all idea of making the Lake hotel
tonight and decided to camp where night
found him.
There were a number of tourists here
last night and, after much urging, Mr..
Bryan consented to make brief address
before he retired. He mounted the stairs
in the rotunda and, surrounded by
guests hotel attaches and soldiers, spoke
for several minutes. His speech was of a
humorous turn, not touching political
matters at all. He said he did not intend
to make speeches while in the park, as
he said he lost almost every state he
spoke in before election last fall and car
ried those he did not speak in, and that
he was anxious to carry the park at the
next election, and would refuse all future
overtures to make addresses while in the
park. After finishing his speech he cor
daily shook hands with all present.
