YESTERDAY Baggage Master J. w.
Davis, now residing in Grafton, had a
very unusual accident happen him
while on duty in the baggage car. a
trunk fell on his right arm while the
train was in motion and wrenched it
from the socket. 1t was blind bag
gage car and he had no means.of pro-
curing assistance unless he stopped
the train, which he would not do.
The pain he suffered was something
terrible. He dashed some cold water
in his face to keep himself out of a
faint and after several hard efforts
restored the dislocated joint, very
unusual exhibition of will power.

The street commissioner has been
very busy with a lot of men getting
the streets into fair condition.
The cutters have been cleaned out
in many places over town and the
rest will be attended to as soon as
they can be reached.
THE rain last night failed to do
much to cool the air although it
was God-send to the crops which
would have soon been badly damaged
had not the relief been afforded
them. The weather is still almost
unbearable and will likely continue
so until there has been a terrible
storm.

been laid by the property owners

THE warm wave has apparently
come at last and it seems in good
place. The crops have a good start
in every part of the state as far as re-
ported. Hay is good, corn, oats and
wheat were never in better condition
and will be about two weeks earlier
than usual. The fruit is badly dam
aged, but there will be fruit enough
to give all some. We are still in the
land of the living with an abundance

prosperous people. Who would not
be an American? Why spaniard,

MONDAY is the last day ON which
bids for street paving can be receiv-
ed and but a short time after that
will be required to get the matter
settled as to who will do the work.
After that is once settled it will be
only little time until the actual
work OF brick laying will be under
way. The council will insist on the
contractor getting terrible move
on him and getting the work done
as fast as it can be done right.
NEXT Tuesday is Flag Day 1t
will be observed all over the United
States and the fact that war is 90

the observance. The people here
should join in the display and ev-

colors OF the country which is now
showing the world that it is no
longer to be despised and belittled.

NEW YORK LANDLORDS.
Let Their Houses Remain Vacant While
Demanding High Rentals.

Let Their Houses Remain Vacant While
Demanding High Rentals.
A newcomer who has been looking
for home nest large enough to accom-
modate out Of town furniture remarked
today: whats the matter with rents
in this town anyway? l see thousands
of flats and offices tenantless, but as
most of them are beyond my means I'm
curious to know why the landlords
don't come down peg or two and give
a poor fellow chance to locate within
reasonable reach of his business. And
so are others. A friend of mine up in
Harlem is one of three occupants of
fiat house built for ten. The seven apart
ments have been empty year, but the
agent refuses to lower the rent when
any one of the three threatens to change
his address, nor will he scale down the
monthly figure in order to fill the va
cant and profitless rooms. And this
isn't solitary case of this sort, by any
means Another real estate agent has
been holding row of fine flats for
nearly three years because nobody feels
like squandering $1,000 on any one OF
them. If he had knocked off $500, he
could have rented every one of them.
Just why the metropolitan landlord
prefers loss to gain is one of the secrets
of the real estate business that outsid-
ers can only juggle with mentally.
Another peculiar feature of the bust
less is the way in which the tenants
who can put up good bluff manage to
enjoy all the comforts of an mp to date

and then be jollied the janitor, who did
the collecting. The janitor, in turn,
smoothed down the landlord, and as a
result the tenant got in deeper and deep
er. Now he pays IA months rent once
in while and puts up such bold front
that he gets receipt on bis promises.
In the same house is another tenant
who pays $50 month, but he shuts up
his apartments for two months every
summer and goes seward. He fatty re-
fuses to pay rent while doing the grand,
and the landlord hasn't as yet done a
thing to him. Still another high fier
puts up so a month for the pick of the
premises. He's i'll about four months
now, but as yet care hasn't carved any

Word Sketch Which Scored a Member of
the Hogarth Club.
There is in London an institution
called the Hogarth club, the member
ship of which is restricted to artists and
litterateurs. 1t is something on the lines
of the old Bohemian club, and both.
business men and American millionaires
are strictly interdicted. Whistler is q
member, and; of course, shines by his
witticisms. The lines being strictly
drawn there is always an effort being
made by some outsider to force an en-
trance, and in the case Of Baron Grant
it met with success. Grant was treble
millionaire who had made his fortune
in Turkish contracts and had invested
in an Italian title on his way back to
London. He was particularly notori.

the Hogarths should have admitted.
However, by dint of buying pictures he
got in and proceeded to make bis friends
happy.
One night big dinner was organized
in his honor and Whistler invited.
Though the great artist had refused, he
happened into the club on the important
evening and q deputation Of his friends
finally persuaded him into the supper
room. He appeared, was wildly cheered
and was at once asked to make speech.

subject of titles should like to speak.

Would Be willing to Act as "a Mediator
for Peace.
New York, July ia dispatch from
London says: Frances new foreign
minister, NJ. Delcasse, has notified the
Spanish ambassador at Paris, Senior
Leon Castillo, that the French govern
ment is ready to tender the good Of
fees of the French ambassador at
Washington in opening negotiations for
peace If the Madrid government will
permit it 10 do so.
The proposition, first suggested by
Austria and France, of intercession at
washington by the British ambassador
has been abandoned. Premier Sagasta
informed the European powers through
Ambassador Castillo that the home diff
ficuties OF the Spanish ministry would
be likely to be gravely increased If
Great Britain's aid were invoked, be-
cause of the hatred Of England pervad-
ing Spain. 1t is expected in diplomatic
and ministerial quarters here that peace
negotiations will be opened through the
French ambassador at Washington.
The Sagasta ministry is now regarded
with contempt throughout Europe, 1t
being notorious that its members are
only deferred from suing for peace by
fear for their personal safety.

Report That the Queen Regent Is to Ask
for Peace.
London, July 13.-A dispatch to The
Standard from Berlin says it is learned
that Queen Regent Christina is willing
to negotiate for peace direct with the
United States. The maximum conces-
sion that she will make at present is
declaration of the absolute independ
ence of Cuba. The following dispatch,
which lacks confirmation, has been re-
ceived from Madrid:
1T is asserted that the United States
makes the following demands as condi-
tions of peace: l. The possession of
Cuba and Porto Rico, with a port in the
Canaries. 2. An indemnity of G4s0O0,-
!. coo (about $240, 000 0O0). 3. The retention
of the Philippines as a guarantee OF the
payment Of the indemnity. These terms
are regarded as impossible"
A dispatch to The Times from Madrid
says that in consequence OF the ire
concilable differences of opinion on the
question of initiating peace negotia-
tions the cabinet resigned at the coun-
Gil Sunday night. During the discus
sion of the question Of the means Of
provisioning Cuba it became evident
that united action was no longer pos
sible. Prime Minister Sagasta accord
ingly went to the palace on Monday
and placed the resignation Of the min
istry in the hands of the queen regent,
recommending. it is said the appoint
ment of a cabinet in which the military
element would be more largely repre-
scented. An increase of the military e'e-
ment would necessarily mean the adop-
ton of a warlike policy. 1t is general
ly expected thst the designations will
be accepted, but the result will possibly
be merely a partial reconstruction Of
the ministry.

ADecree Issued in the

greatly concerned Holders OF
The Ma -cabee Policies.

IF Hambitzer has just returned from
nj Huron where he represented Mrs.
Ina T. Lintner in her contest with
uolon Pearce and the heirs OF Will
Nortbey in reference to Northey's insur-
.rce certificate in the Maccabee lodge Tor
$4,000.
This ia q case which has attracted
.-oot deal OF attention not only among
our local people, friends OF the contrasting
narties, but also in the Maccabee lodge
as il embodied living issues in the insur-
ance portion Of the camp,
Itappears that Will Northey first des
ipuated his sister, Anna Lintner, as his
beneficiary. Three months before his
doatb while in feeble health he designated
Ellen Pearce, his aunt, as defendant OF
bis and at the same time receiving from
her sum of money with which to 60 to
Denver for bis health. Before he died he
told his sister that in case OF hi, death
Mrs. Pearce was to pay her the balance
Of the 81, 900 after deducting that money
she had advanced to him.
Upon the death OF Mr.. Northey Mrs,
Pearce, being the last name beneficiary,
asked for the $4,000, when Mrs. Lintner,
through MIR. Hambitzer, her attorney.
filedla protest against paying the said
insurance money to Mrs. Pearce. Subse-
quently the heirs OF MIR. Northey, a half
sister and two half-brothers, through
their attorneys, Ball & Ball and W. s
Hill. OF Marquette, protested against the
payment to either OF the above-named
parties, claiming Mrs. Pearce not being
a defendant was not entitled to the fund.
The certificate designating Mrs. Lintner
defendant having been surrendered was
void, consequently there was no lawful
beneficiary and therefore the fund could
fall to the heirs.

officers OF the great camp we're present at
the trial.
Alter the evidence was all in the attor-
neys for Mrs. Pearce asked Mrs. Lintner
il she was willing to take $1,000 or one
half OF the entire amount in litigation
which Mrs. Lintner claimed che was al
ways willing to do, 10 as much as Mrs.
Pearce had advanced considerabl money
to him prior to his death and the decree
was drawn accordingly.
Tho r,otpfs of ;nkoroat sna raov, korz

LIST, That member has No interest in
the beneficiary fund, only the right to
designate the beneficiary. Therefore, the
fund ia no part OF his estate and cannot
descend to the heirs.
I'd. That il one is designated as ben
efciary as a dependent, and the proof
shows that he is in fact not such a de-
pendent; the designation is void.

class, does not revoke the former desig-
nation.

of great restitution at San Juan and
other places and deep interest among
the Inhabitants of the island in the

Captain McKenna left Arceibo June

Of Porto Rico indicated a condition
among the natives nearly bordering on

pound and other provisions at a price
so high that none but the wealthy could
get them. Captain McKenna said that
while he was at Arceibo he fed on an
average fifty persons per day. Several

The city is continually decorated with
American flags, with a considerable

Spanish colors are nowhere to be seen.

as practically over. The Novoe Vremya
observes that the political situation
largely depends upon the attitude of

With respect to the Philippine ISL

state Russia's policy. Russia has no
positive interests in the Philippine ISL
ands. If they are divided. the best
parts will fall to Germany. Great Brit

them in the Pacific. Therefore, ii is to
Russia's advantage that the Philippine
islands remain in the possession Of a
single power, whether Spain or the
United States, and Russia would prefer
to see the islands in the possession OF
Spain and under the protection of the
United States, who would keep out 9TH
