FRED HEIRS VICTORY.
Claimed that He Defeated Bauer's
COunciImanic Aspirations.

The friends Of Fred Heller, South New
Jersey-street saloon keeper, are much
elated over the defeat of Joseph Bauer in
the caucus of the Democratic members of
the Council Monday night, which selected
a successor to Mr.. Montgomery. They say
that the defeat of Bauer was accomplished
through the skillful manipulations Of Mr..
Heller, who has had knife out for Bauer
ever since Heller was candidate against
George r, Golfer for councilmanic Office
two years ago. Both men were saloon
keepers, and both bought beer of the COM
pany represented by Bauer. Heiers friends
say that Bauer sized up Golfer as win
ner from the start and exerted his influ-
ence against Heller. The friends of the lat
ter never forgave the brewery agent for
what they termed the shabby trick he
played on one of his customers. They have
game last Monday night. One of Heller s
friends, in explaining the manner of
Bauer's defeat said:
Bauer was sure he had twelve votes, but
we fooled him. Lawyer John Rockford,
who is a close friend of Fred Heller, is also
very close to Councilman Mahoney. Both
of these men are close to Councilman Hars-
ton. Heller let it be known to these close
friends of his that he desired Bauer's de-
feat, and they did the rest 1t isn't good
for the public to understand too much of
may draw its own differences. 1t has re-
quired two years for Heier'S friends to get
even with the man who knitted him, but
they finally did it good and strong"

TO BE SIGNED ON FRIDAY.
Treaty for Suspension of Pelagf'
Scaling HES Been Completed.


Sealing Has Been Completed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Important prep
arations are being made for the signing OF
the new treaty between the United States
Russia and Japan for the suspension of
pelagic sealing in Boring sea and the North
Pacific. 1t can how be stated that the for
NAL ceremony of signing is expected to &C.
cur at the State Department next Friday.
In the meantime, by concerted action be-
tween the three powers, they will enlarge
the rank and dignity of those who will put
their names to the instrument so that they
will sign, not as delegates but as ENJOYS
! extraordinary and plenipotentiary. 1t has
been as delegates" to the conference that
Messrs. Foster, Hamlin,, Botkin, Fujita and
the others have arrived at a satisfactory
agreement. For this reason it has been
necessary to defer the signing until the
governments at St. Petersburg and Toxic
changed the character of their representa-
tives from delegates to ENJOYS eXtraordi-
naries. This is now being done by cable,
which is somewhat unusual in the appoints
ment of ENJOYS and the issuance of powers
to them, but which is felt to be warranted
by the circumstances of the present case.
1t is stated also that the attitude of Great
Britain will in no way affect the conclu>
sion of the treaty and that the delay until
the powers of the ENJOYS and not TO. recon-
cile any differences with the British au-
thorities. The draft of the new treaty has
been completed and copies of it are in the
hands of the representatives OF the three
governments,

KING CORN.
Even Bankers Recognize the Suprem.
acy of the Cereal.
VT,


New York Financier.
The general impression prevailing with
reference to state banking associations
that they are but social gatherings and af-
ford at best an opportunity for superficial
and academic discussion of theoretical
banking questions-must have received a
rude shock a few days since, when the Illi-
nois Bankers Association passed resolu-
tions urging the government to take meas
ureS to extend the use of corn as food in
Europe in order that the exports of that
cereal might be increased, to the benefit of
the farmers of Illinois and of other States
as we'll
Second thought shows this resolution to
have been we'll timed Illinois is one of the
largest corn-prodEcing States in the Union,
and necessarily anything that benefits the
farmer aids, directly and indirectly, the
bankers of the Commonwealth. The action
of the latter in an attempt to befriend their
best customers is worthy of credit, and we
believe that it vii! be appreciated in the
proper spirit. Certainly it reveals the bank
one in which he is usually pictured: The oc-
eurrence may prove a violent shock to
aDd down the nnd tS
farmers that the bankers are rob-
bling them W. but this Is not to be re.
the province of banking organizations
should be enlarged within legitimate
bounds, ard the Illinois bankers have taken
a step in the proper direction in recognizing
the interests on which they are de-
pendent and with which they are so init
mately AFFLICTED. Still, the idea that the
Illinois bankers have thus entered the field
Of agriculture will prove disturbing fac
tor in the minds of those who. have been
led to believe that the State of Illinois is
but a suburb OF Chicago. We note, how
ever, that the resolution was not introduced
by any of the eminent agriculturists from
the city by the lake who were present 1t
came, rather, from the great corn belt of
the State. Chicago merely helped it
through.
And, incidentally. it may be remarked
that corn is receiving much attention of
late at the hands OF the banking fraternity.
The name of Kentucky and of a product of
this cereal are indissolubly united. What
was more proper, therefore, than at the last
meeting of the Kentucky Bankers Associa-
ton the members, in banquet assembled,
should have rejected with fine show of in
dignation all vintages of the grape as inn
proper to the occasion?
There is nothing like protecting home in
dustries, and with the bankers corn is evil
IDENTIFY in the midst of Its friends. May the
spirit thus engendered by Kentucky and IL
linois be emulated by bankers elsewhere.

BLOW At EXPERTS.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. "A decision

preme Court in the case of Dixon VS.. The
People is of great interest to professional
men who are called upon to give expert

as provided in the State Constitution. Judge
Creighton ruled against him and fined him
for contempt of court. The Supreme Court
held that this professional knowledge is
not property within the meaning of the Con-
stitution and that in the exercise of the
right of the court to summon witnesses
and compel them to testify no distinction
could be made between kinds of knowledge
To make such distinction would defeat the
ends of justice. The finding of Judge Creign-
ton is upheld by the Supreme Court.

Bicycles in the Winter.

New York Tribune.
This is the season of the year when
many riders are giving much thought TO
how to preserve their wheels in good condi-
ton during the winter. He who rides his
wheel during the pleasant weather of the
winter has no such trouble. He knows that
if he rides his bicycle whenever the weather
will permit he will keep the tires inflated
and that his wheel as q whole will get suf-
ficient attention to keep in good condition
all through the cold spell. 1t is better for
the wheel to be in use than to store 1t away
undef the most favorable circumstances.
