After making their purchases in Laurel
August the couple stopped at the rail-
road station and inquired the fare to
Washington. When told that II was IS
cents for each person, they started to walk
down the road, the evident intention being
to walk until they reached a station from
which they would have sufficient money to
travel the remainder of the distance by
rail.
The woman was limping, and it was plain
that she was footsore. After walking a
short distance she probably reached the
conclusion that she could go no further.
and the couple then made their way to
ksilogg's woods TO rest and partake of the
food they had purchased in Laurel
The city council and the mayor of Laurel
have taken no steps in the matter, because
they say. the body was found outside the
town limits For the same reason they
have offered no reward. Practically all
the steps that have ben taken in the d.
rection of solving the mystery have been
the work of the newspaper men.
The body of the woman was discovered
last Sunday morning. The sheriff of the
county was informed Of the matter yes
terday. He Is reported as saying that he
will begin an investigation tomorrow per-
haps. and may then engage q detective to
look into the matter. c.. F. C,

A SWIMMING STATION AT PI0UA.

Mr.. f. dudley, manager of the
lola Creamery, went to Piqua on the
Missouri Pacific this morning. His
object is 10 start skimming station
at that place where the farmers of the
country around Piqua can bring their
milk and have it skinned, receiving
their money for it without the trouble
and expense of coming to lola.
We are glad to announce this move
and would like to see a station at
each of the neigh boring towns. 1t is
an inducement to every farmer to
take care of his milk cows and insure
an increased pecuniary return for
such care. The benefits of the cream
cry will be certain aud far reaching
and the merchants of lola will soon
feel the perceptible stimulus to trade
which home market for the poultry
apd dairy products gives.

and an irreprOachable citizen. Dur.
ing the one term that he has served
the county as commissioner he has
shown himself not only honest, but
careful, conservative and iudicious in
the expenditure of the peoples money.
He has fairly earned a reelection,
and to turn him down now, as if he
had committed some crime, merely to
"get even" with somebody else, would
be an iudefensible outrage against one
OF the best men in the county. If the
editOriiOf the REGISTER is%arpublic
enemy and must be punished, wait
until you can hit him without knock
ing down and humiliating man like
John Mcdonald, and without dealing
the party worse blow than it would
suffer from the defeat of any other
man on the ticket. The board of
county commissioners holds the purse
strings of the county; it builds bridges
and does other public work which
eUuplOys,Ts many men every year.
Do the Republicans of the county
want to place that Board in the
hands of the POpulists for two years
and perhaps for three or four? Do
they waUt the patronage which is at
the disposal of the commissioners
used to defeat Republican candidates
next year, and to build up the POpu-
list party? If they do, it can certain
ly be accomplished by defeating John
But it is incOmprehensi-
BILE that any man who is Republican
at heart should be willing to infiict
this blow upon his party, and we look
to see Mr.. Mcdonald elected by ma
jOrity that shall be fitting rebuke to
the selfish efforts that have been
made to compass his defeat.

There was hard fight made on
Mr.. NJ. L. Decker, the Republican
candidate for county treasurer when
he made his first race two years ago
No one questioned his ability or his
integrity, but the charge was made
that he would turn the work of the
office over to his sons and that people
who came into the office were likely
to be insulted, if not assaulted. In
spite of these attacks Mr.. Decker was
elected, and now, whenever anybody
recalls the charges made against him
it is only TO laugh at the men who
made them. Mr.. Decker has not
practiced "nepotism," and nobody
who has gone into his office has been
either insulted or assaulted. On the
contrary no officer in the court house
has shown himself more courteous,
gentlemanly and obliging than Mr..
Decker. Always quiet and accomo-
dating, always there and attending
strictly to business, with his books
balanced to a cent, Mr.. Decker has
made a model officer and his re-elec-
ton by an increased majority is one
of the conceded facts of this cam
paign.

ty clerk comes from that good old
Pennsylvania Dutch stock which
has bred a race of shrewd, honest,
sturdy and patriotic men. And he is
one of the best of the type. \ car
penter by trade, teacher by profess
sion, a farmer by occupation, he has
been a success at all three. An old
soldier, an old settler, good citizen,
he commands the respect of the whole
county and will be elected by fine

The best evidence of the ability of
Mr.. Fowler to filI'the office of Regis
ter of Deeds, is the fact that he won
the nomination after long and care
full canvass, over some of the best and
brightest men in the county. This
could not have happened if he had
been a man of inferior parts. And
the judgment of the Republicans in
the primary will be approved by the
judgment of the people at the polls.
Mr. Fowler will be elected and he will

RAISED THEIR BID

ing to Pay More For the
Road.
Stated That an Offer of Over Six
Millions Is Being Con.
sidered.
Senators Now Have Something to
Say--Sale Likely to Be
Postponed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Attorney
General McKenna has taken steps look.
ing to the postponement of the sale of
the Kansas Pacific road. AS soon as he
received a copy of the senate resolution
he telegraphed its substance to Special
Counsel Ex-Governor Hoadley at New
York, with q request that he prepare at
once q motion asking for q postpone.
ment for 30 days or until Fec. Is. The
attorney general also telegraphed the
president synopsis of the resolution.
Up to noon Mr.. McKenna had heard
nothing of the reported decision of the
reorganization committee, as stated by
a New York newspaper, to offer the
government guarantee bid OF Is, 3O3,-
900, the amount Of the principal Of the
governments claim, nor would the at.
torney general say, in speaking OF the
matter, what would be done in case
spch an offer was made before the mo.
ton for a postponement was filed.
Would Have Been Accepted Once.
There is no reasonable doubt that
this offer. if it had been made prior to
the adoption of the senate resolution,
would have been accepted. It may be,
it is said, that the president would con.
slider himself bound in courtesy to the
senate to ask for postponement ire.
spective of any offer that might now be
made. As it seems probable, he might
ascertain the views Of the leaders in
congress upon the acceptance of a bid
of $8, 303, ,0OO, should it be made, and
act accordingly.
The attorney general expressed no
doubt that q postponement would be
granted by the court upon the showing
the government would be able to make.
In addition to the very potent reason
that the senate, representing the people
of the whole country, had requested
this action, there was another, he
said, of little less Importance. Other
responsible parties, outside Of the reor'
ganization committee were just now
taking an interest in the Kansas Pacific
road with view, no doubt, to becom'
ing bidders if their Investigations war
rantsd such step. Who these parties
were the attorney general was not al
liberty to state, but all things consid
cred he thought the reasons for post
ponement were ample. In the mean
time the preparations for presenting
the question to the court, should the re
organization committee, who are under
stood to be the owners Of large share
of the first mortgage bonds, object Il
the delay, will be proceeded with. Ex
Governor Hoadley was requested BY
the attorney general to confer with tn
committee on this point and report t.
him any conclusions reached.

THE BISCUIT COMBINE.

Finishing Touches Being Put on the
Union Of Three Big Corporations.
New YORK, Dec. lit is more than
possible that within the next few days
the bulk OF the cracker or biscuit bust.
ness of the United States will be con.
trolled by combination of the three
corporations that now control the bust.
ness, says the New York Times.
These three corporations are the New
York Biscuit company, the American
Biscuit and Manufacturing company,
AMI the United States Biscuit company.
1t is generally Supposed that the New
York Biscuit company will be the head,
as it is said to have been the chief pro-
moter of the combination. This COM
pany has for years been quietly absorb.
ing its rivals. The other two big con.
Germs have not been idle. but have been
working indhstriously to maintain a
position of equality with the New York
Biscuit company.
Three Fold Process of Absorption.
Each has acquired control of smaller
concerns in its territory. The three
fold process of absorption has gone on
until these three great companies now
stand without rivals except among
themselves. The combination now
forming will put an end to this rivalry
and there will be but one biscuit con.
Germ, which will control the entire
trade of the country. Its combined
capital will be $25, 900, ,0O0 or CSC, 900; 900.
The officers Of the three big concerns
interested in forming this big combina.
tion are now in this city to complete
the details of the union. The formation
of the union was begun as soon as it
was mutually understood that the three
companies had obtained control Of all
the other large factories in the country.
When this was assured negotiations for
further combination were begun. Some
time ago the general plans for consoli.
dation were agreed on, and only the de.
tails were not settled. These will be
arranged within the next few days. il
IL said, and the union will be complete.
1t is also said that there is not q single
Econcern outside Of this combination
that is wanted inside Of it. The head
quarters of the new organization will
probably be established in this citv.
