Aberdeen Ruralist: The New York

OF the wave OF Mckinley prosperity. It
may interest the raisers OF 5O-oent wheat
to know that several Of the Now York
banks have just declared quarterly divi-
dends OF 25 per cont, payable January
ls:. Among these prosperous concerns
are the First National and Fifth Aven-
ue banks, both OF which are paying an
nusl dividends OF over 100 per oent and
the Chemical National which pays divi-
dends Of $50 per cent every year. The
stock OF the Chemical sells for more than
$4,000 per share, the par value beings lOC
and that Of the First NatioIal and Fifth
Avenue is quoted at $500 per share
while that OF others like the National
City is quoted at over $1,000 per e1O(
share. These fabulous profits are dug
out OF the ground by western corn

BRAYS PRELIMINARY HEARING
FOR CRIMINALLY ASSAUITTNG
MISS ANNA SNYDER.
Partly Had Before Justice Timmonv
Yesterday, and Continued Until
Saturday.

Judge Timmony yesterday listened to
the testimony in the case against
William Bray. who is charged with
making an assault with intent to COM
nit rape upon Miss Anna Snyder. The
testimony was substantially the same
as related in Wednesdays Herald. The
girl identified Bray as the man who
had insisted on accompanying her
when she was looking for her mother
on Monday evening, and that she con-
tinually protested. Upon going up the
alley in the rear of the Wey hotel
about l o'clock to the house where her
mother lived he followed and seized
her, wheTeupon she screamed for help
5. b. Loveridge, u lOdger at the Wey
hotel, testified that he heard the
screams and from his window saw a
man holding a woman down at the
bottom Of the stairway in the alley
Mrs Sofia Snyder, the mother, and
A. NJ. Nolf also heard the screams and.
saw the girl when she came into the
house very nervous and with her dress
torn Policemen Roberts and HempeI
described the arrest of Bray, who was
found with woman at o'clock Tues
day morning in a house on West Tenn
pie. Bray did not testify. At the con-
clusiOn, Dennis Eichnor, the defend
ants counsel, declared that there had
been no overt act to show the intent to
commit rape. Judge TimmOny con-
tinued further hearing until Saturday
at D. m, when County Attorney Van
Colt and Mr.. Eichnor will each make
an argument. Bray was returned to
the custody of Sheriff Lewis

SKATER ON THE CAMPAIGN
HIS MEN SUFFERED, BUT ENDED
THE WAR.
Scarcity of Supplies Was to Be Ex-
pected-original Intention Was to
Attack Havana First.

Chicago Sept. PA special dispatch to
the Tribune from Constantine. Mich,
gives the following speech made by Gen
cral Shafter at that place, where he went
to attend a reunion of the Nineteenth
Michigan regiment, of which he was col
onel during the civil war:
General Shafter said that when the fleet
first left Tampa it was intended to land
about Is miles from Havana and march
on that city. When. however, the fleet
put back because of the reported prox-
unity of the Spanish squadron. .soro was
received from Admiral Sampson that San
tiago could be taken in "a hours, and the
army sailed for that point. General Shat
ter then described in his own character
istic manner the campaign at Santiago.
After reaching the point in his story
where the Spanish general offered to sur
render, General Shafter concluded as fol-
lows:
II said Toral might march out. salute
his flag before taking 1t down and fire
guns. and any other ceremonies he pleas
ed. and l would observe what forms L
pleased
80 they took down their flag. fired
their guns and Santiago was surrendered.
1t was beautiful and dramatic. When we
raised our flag the officers took off their
ha It's and our guns saluted.

supplies. Men who go to war expect to

All Admit the Gravity of the
Situation.
ZURLINDEN'S BOLD COUP
MILITARY AUTHORITIES INTER
VENE IN CIVIL COURTS.
But Short Step Now to Dictator
ship-Cabinet Disapproves the
Prosecution of Picquart-Case
Against Dreyfus Is a Ridiculous
Fairy Tale.

Paris, Sept 22-The situation here
is generally admitted to be grave. by
both press and people. The conflict
between the civil and military authori-
ties is becoming acute. The sudden
and unexpected action of General Eur
linden, the military governor of Paris.
in prosecuting Colonel Picquart on the
charge of forgery and using forged
documents, assumes grave aspect on
account of circumstances attending
this intervention of the military
authorities in civil court.
AT the present moment, when the
political atmosphere is surcharged
with dangerous electricity. generated
by the Dreyfus affair, the general, who
has just quilted the cabinet, in defiance
of civil authority takes, without con-
sulting his successor or the premier, an
important step. In ordinary circum-
stances the military governor is en-
powered to act Independently; but now
that the Dreyfus question has become a
great national matter, every proceed
ing in the affair has state Importance.
General Zurlinden's ignoring of this
obvious fact is very significant. He
comes forward as the defender of the
army. the prosecutor of its supposed
calumniators and the reSolute oppon-
this to an appeal to the public in the
line of an establishment of a dictator
ship there is no wide step.
The Soliel says that. owing to yester-
days events, the cabinet, at an in
formal conference, discussed General
Zurlinden's action and the Fronde even
asserts that the premier, M. BriSSon,
disavows the measures taken against
Picquart which, he says, were insti-
tuted without the knowledge of the
cabinet
The Radical makes a bitter attack
on the general staff, which it charges
with aiming at the moral aSsaSsina-
ton Of Picquart through a secret mill
tary trial.
Henri Rochefort, in his paper, the
Intransigeant, declares that Picquart
was bribed by syndicate or by Ger
many to save DreyfuS.
JaureS, the Socialist deputy, in the
Petite Republique maintains that the
general staff of the French army can
not now escape the full light of a re-
vision of the Dreyfus case.
Picquart was transferred this after
noon to the military prison of
Cherche Midi.
The Matin affirms that it has authen-
tic information that the name of Drey-
fuS was never once mentioned in the
mass of documents brought against
him. 1t adds that the only serious
document is the so-called Bordereau.
The documents in the case, it appears,
consist entirely of fragments of letters
referring to everything except Dreyfus,
and the whole matter. the Matin adds,
constitutes such a-fairy tale that no
person would dream of
