Howitrer Associations Reunion.

The Howitzer Association have issued
Invitations 10 their annual banquet and
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1898-04-14

The following statement by Assis-
tant Secretary Vanderlip. of the
Treasury, is especially interesting at
this time: when war comes new in
fluences operate upon the public reve-
nues. The first boom of cannon is a
call for increased resources, and is
likely to be followed by sharp de-
crease in ordinary receipts. Fortu-
nately at no time since the civil war
has the Y. S. Treasury occupied so
strong position as it does now, with
the exception possibly Of the surplus
days of 1869. The circulation
statement just issued shows that we
have an enormous stock of gold in the
country, almost 100000, 900. OF
this amount the L. S. Treasury holds
$4,000, 600. We are $75, 900, 600
above the traditional reserve maintain
ed for redemption Of the u. S. notes
and the reserve is increasing 5000, 900
day. But, Notwithstanding the
strong financial position of the gov
eminent, and of the moneyed institu-
tions of the country. there would, in
any sort OF conflict, soon be neces-
sity for additional revenues. This
has given grave concern to those
charged with the administration Of
the finances OF the government. I'M
questionably, if war should come. our
first victory should be the placing OF
the National Treasury upon war
basis.

after enjoying his hospitality Knocked him
down while he was on his way back to
his boat and robbed him.
The defence threw out several innuen-
does that Captain La Montana was re-
lieved of his money by some festive fe-
male with whom he was drinking in the
saloon. The evidence against them was
clear, however. They were arrested about
five minutes after the robbery and the
money was was found in their possession

told him what Mr. Muller had said. He

that they would explode. He concluded
that the insurance agent had made mis-

sign, National Ice Machine Company,

indicate that any kind of gas was being
manufactured there. On the morning of
the fire some one warned him not to al

jury called attention to the testimony of
Professor Morton of Stevens Institute, that

taken, and at the same time suggested
borhoods should be prohibited. The Fire
Department was censured for not know

and also for not having an official in the
department competent to determine
whether the manufacture of the gas was

were over 800 shopgirls on the HUDSON
City.
They were thrown into panic Scores
of them screamed and half dozen fell
faintng to the floor of the ferryboat.
Three of them did not revive until some
time after the boat reached it's slip.
Many of the men and boys on the Hud-

pared to jump overheard. Many pas

The Hudson City was on her way to the

be on every side.
The Bergen, which has a screw pro-

To make the position of Pilot Long

Pilot Longstreet decided that hills best
chance was to keep on going ahead, ex-

however, and the Hudson City's port bow
struck the port after quarter of the Ber-

Every ferryboat was from fifteen to
thirty minutes late. And the Pennsyl-
