LOOKING FOR DISASTER,

Awhile back, the democrats were de.
pending upon the continuance Of the
Philippine war for success in the presi-
Dental election. But, now that the
REBELLION is practically over, they must
look elsewhere for a great disaster upon
which to ride into power, ever if they
are compelled to go thousands Of miles
from the United States to find it. Ex-
Senator Fred Dubois of Idaho, however,
is equal to the emergency, saying in a
recent interview that if the wal in the
Transvaal continues two or three
months longer, the democrats will IN.
doubtedly win,
The Transvaal war will DO doubt last
longer than that, but the voters of the
United States are not going to Africa
or the Philippines for an issue in the
next campaign. What they will look
at and consider are the conditions at
home, and when they contrast them
with what they were when the republic
cans assumed control of the government
in March, 1897, it will be all off with
the democrats. Nothing short of a
great national calamity in the United
States, for which it would have to ba
evident that the administration was re-
sponsible, will give the democrats any
chance of success. And nothing of that
kind is likely to occur. The danger Of
a panic is past, there is abundant pros.
perity in all parts of the country and
the people are going to take no chances
on a change. Mr.. Dubois should guess
again. The country has heard very
little of him since be bolted the last re-
publican national convention, but the
people remember his predictions of dire
calamity in '96 and will smile at any
new wall he may make.

LOOK OUT FOR
THE FIRST
TALK OF INVADING CANADA,

The Fenians and Irish n%ationalists
are talking Of invading aud capturing
Canada. Colonel Robert r. Scanned, a
leading Irish agitator Of Boston, says
there will be u big meeting in Phila.
delphia next Sunday or Monday to con-
slider the matter, to be followed by an.
other at Boston, while dispatches from
Buffalo state that an army of 1876, 900
men will be- raised throughout the
country. Colonel Scanned argues that
the African war will result in the first
break in the British empire and that
now, when many Of the Canadian
troops have been sent to the war,
would be a good time to invade that
country. Lord Pauncefote, the Brit.
ish minister at Washington, has made
no protest to the United States authori.
ties and does not regard the movement
as at nil formidable, although he has
instructed the British consuls at various
points to keep him postal as to the
movements of the agitators.
There is probablyno danger Of AL ill.,
vasion of Canada, but the agitation of
such movement shows how sentiment
is drifting. As it becomes apparent
how big II thing England has on her
hands in the Boer war, more Or less
discomfort may be expected from her col
onies. Canada. especially. is beginn-
ing to regard the war with disfavor.
but Il majority of her people are loyal
to Great Britain and they would vigor-
ously repel an invasion. The indepen-
dence OF Canada. or annexation to this
country, il it is ever brought about,
will be accomplished through peaceful
methods. The United States, in the
hour of E%ngland's extremity, would
certainly not encourage forcible annex
alton, and would be compelled to pre-
vent an invasion of Canada by citizens
of this country.

THERE'LL BE NO PANIC,

Bradstreet's: The convulsion in tho
stock market last week and the SYM
pathetic disturbance shown in %speoula-
tive markets for some staples at one
time bore a striking resemblance to the
conditions ruling in the same markets
during the dark days of 1898, and yet
the unreasonableness of any such com.
parison seems evident upon it's face.
Unlike 1898, trade at present is very
large, and, what is more, it is expand.
ing. Every line of business and in.
dustry is crowded with work, and the
only concern is as to whether orders
booked far ahead can be filled on time.
The very tightness of money complain
cd of, though of course aggravated by
the probability Of large drains from
London, by the shutting off of the sup.
ply Of gold from the Transvaal and by
the faulty currency system at present in
operation in this country. is primarily
a result of good rather than unfavora.
BILE business conditions. The pinch in
money at present is felt. all the more
acutely because there il sufficient en-
ployment for every dollar that can be
found. A much larger supply of
money is needed in good than in poor
times, and yet the money market has
been asked, III addition to supplying all
its Legitimate needs, to digest large
quantities of industrial securities,
many of which recently reached tic-
titious prices. The tendcncy of water
to find its level has, in fact, found
illustration in the stock market this
week.
While there may and probably will
be further declines in prices Of purely
speculative securities, it would seem
pretty safe to say that the money panic
of 1899 is over, and while the individ.
ual sufferers are no doubt numerous,
the financial and commercial commuI-
ity in general is mont the worse for the
recent speculative spasm. There is Ger.
tainly not a bushel of wheat or a bale
OF cottsn less in the country today as Il
result OF the recent severe fall in stocks !;
our industries are active, our railroads
are buster than ever before, there il
more money in the mands of tho gen.
earl public than at any previous time.

G. S. Jackson, who is the official
photographer for the b. & NJ. road, has
been spending the past week in the
city, accompanied by his wife. He has
his car with him and has been engaged
in taking views about the city, also of
the Bad Lands and today went out to
Wind Cave. These views are framed
and placed in hotels and depots all
over the country, thus advertising the
beauties and attractions of Hot Springs
accurately, and as nothing else can do.
Mr.. Jackson has recently been to
Spearfish canyon and Sylvan Lake
procuring some fine views of those
places. He is one of the finest pho
tographers in the country and propos-
es to have an elegant lot of views of
this vicinity.

Wednesdays Excursion.

The Elkhorn train was about two
hours late Wednesday morning, caused
by the large number who mad taken
advantage of the low rates offered on
that date to Hot Springs. sThere
we're 146 tickets into the city" as Jake
Gable puts it, meaning there were that
many paid tickets. 1t was a large
crowd, filling three coaches and the
sleeper. There were 1Os pieces of bag
gage checked. The Burlington came
in nearly on time bringing rs passen-
gers, as reported by Agent West. The
hotels we're already fairly we'll filled,
and these new arrivals filed them COM
fortably full, besides large number
are stopping at private boarding plac-
es. They scattered about the city Sc
generally that the increase of arrivals
is scarcely noticeable. That most of
them have come to stay awhile is ap
parent from the amount of baggage
they brought.

Elkhorn Through sleeper.

On Wednesday the Elkhorn com
pany put on through sleeper to this
place from Omaha, which will be con-
tinued throughout the season. This
will be great convenience to Hot
Springs passengers, thus avoiding any
change of cars. 1t is very gratifying
to know that the business has so in
creased as to justify this move, but
one thug Hot Springs has always been
assured of is that whatever the travel
ing public to and from Hot Springs
calls for from the Elkhorn has usually
been forthcoming. The Burlington
put on sleeper from Lincoln to Hot
Springs few weeks ago, SO that now
with a sleeper into the city over each
road all travellers may come and go in
ease and comfort.

POLICE COURT


The preliminary trial of M. A. Wall and
H. L. Snyder, the two soldiers who were
charged with having taken something over
hundred dollars from John Borstwick,
another soldier, came up for trial in the
police court yesterday morning, the result
of it being that both of the defendants
were bound over to await the action of the
grand jury. Their bonds were fixed at
$500 each. The trial consumed almost an
entire morning, the attorneys examining
the witnesses with a great deal of care and
in great detail
Borstwlck, the man who claimed to have
lost the money, was examined with a
| great deal of trouble, as he is a German
and understood very little English. Joe
Gerst acted as Interpreter, and even Joe
had a hard time; he says the man didn' t
speak good German. However, his story
obtained after great deal of questioning
was as follows:
He was mustered out of the First Ter
ritorial regiment, which was stationed at
Albany, Ga, a week or two or ago, at
which time he received sos from the gov
eminent and 500 from mining company In
New Mexico, to whom he was engaged to
scribed the denominations of his money
with much accuracy, and told how he car
ried it in the breast pocket of his army
shirt.
From Albany he went direct to Blocton,
near Birmingham, where he remained for a
week or two; and on last Monday he came
to this city on his way to New Mexico He
claimed that he met up with the defend
ants here and they persuaded him not to
leave Birmingham that day, but to remain
over with them. He did so, and they took
him to their room on Twentieth street. be-
tween Third and Fourth avenues. Soon
after his arrival here he deposited 500 with
Cason, the saloon keeper, but In the after
| noon he decided that he wanted it back
so he asked Tom Cason" and got it. He
claims that his two soldier friends were
with him at the time.
r. Then there was a woman in the case.
whom all testified was the wife of Snyder
one of the defendants. Mrs. Snyder, the
testimony showed, occupied the same room
I with the three soldiers. That night Borst-
wick claimed, after he had gone TO bed, the
woman came in and began to jolly him
along, the light being out at the time.
Snyder and wall also came in about this
time, and he claims that they took his
money, about Sl35, out of his shirt which
was lying beside the bed on a chair Soon
afterward he missed his "gold," SO he
went out and had them arrested just as
they were buying tickets for Memphis. On
Snyder was found s102 of money, which
corresponded very closely to that which
was taken from Borstwick. On Wall, how
ever, there was only about s11 In silver,
but on both of them were found dice and
English walnut shells, such as are used In
working the shell game" A number Of
these statements Borstwick corfoborated
by other witnesses.
Wall was the only one of the defendants
who took the stand. He said his home

Manufactures.
Observation-Disclosures
Perfection Mattress Company

A great many people who have used the
Perfection Mattress are not aware of the
fact that it Is manufactured right here in
Birmingham.
These mattresses are used all over the
United States. The factory is situated in
First avenue, between Sixteenth and Sew
enteenth streets, and a walk through the
various departments is very interesting.
The mattress on which the company has
made its reputation is called the Perfec-
ton Mattress, which is made entirely of
cotton. The great trouble with ordinary
mattresses made of cotton is that the
fleece coming in contact with the hand
makes it separate and form little balls,
which eventually become hard, making the
mattress uncomfortable. The Perfection
Mattress company has specially patented
machine through which the cotton is re-
ginned and drops into kind of a box,
where 1t is caught in the ticking When
enough cotton has been run through to
make a mattress it stands about five feet
high in the box. 1t Is then pressed down to
the desired size and sewed in the covering
without the hands ever touching the cot
ton. From there the mattress Is taken to
the sewing machines and the finishing
touches put on it. On every one a written
guarantee is sewed, which allows the per-
son buying to use the mattress sixty days
and If they are not satisfied 1t can be re-
turned.
Mr.. Dixon, the president of the company,
says as yet not one has beeen returned
How far do you ship your goods. Mr..
Dixon?" was asked.
Everywhere from Portland to San
Francisco" he replied, land next year we
into CHI rlylip hon
Cuba and Manila. In other words, we in
tend to follow the flag"
The factory has large pay roll and the
employees are paid every Saturday. About
twelve persons are now employed by the
company, but the force will be sharply in
creased before great while.
The Perfection Mattress is not, however,
the only grade manufactured by this con-
Germ. Mattresses of all kinds and prices
are made ranging from slips up to $40
wholesale. A ready market is at hand and
no trouble is experienced in getting rid OF
the manufactured goods.
