THE MONEY ~STRINGENCY
Treasury Departments Measures for
Its Relfef-To Purchase Bonds

Washington. September 10.-The fol-
lowing announcement was made today
at the treasury department.:
The secretary of the treasury hereby
gives notice that he will receive and
consider proposals for the sale to the
government on account of the sinking
fund of United States 3 per cent. bonds,
"a of 19OS-191S; 4 per cent bonds,
funded o of 1907; 4 per cent bonds,
Dan of 1925, and 5 per cent bonds, loan
of 1904 to an amount not exceeding
$40, 000, 900. Proposals should be sub
mitted to the secretary by letter or tel
egraph not later than Thursday, the
18th instant; any bonds accepted, to
be promptly delivered at the United
States S~ub-treaSury in New York or to
the treasury department at Washing
ton.
The right to repect any or all propo
sails is expressly reserved.
(Signed) L. ]. GAGE,
Secretary.
The secretary also has directed that
internal revenue receipts be deposited
with national bank depositaries up to
the par value of all bonds deposited,
including the 2 per cent. bonds.
Commenting upon the offer made in
his circular, Secretary Gage said that
the active movement Of crops had be-
gun throughout the country and he did
not desire that the treasury should
absorb millions Of dollars that might
be in trade channels. The sub-treasur-
les IN the west n south have been
calling heavily for currency to move
the crops, and the amount sent so far
is in excess Of IN year in the history
of the treasury.
The placing of additional money with
the national bank d~epositaries will di-
vert about So, 900, 5000 from treasury
vaults and put it into circulation. At
the same time the purchase of $40, 00o,-
900 in bonds would be a decided relief.
The only question now is whether
the offers to the secretary will be such
as to induce him to purchase the
amount he desires or any sum at all.
The tendency in offers of this kin is
to cause the prices OF bonds to raise.
Secretary Gage does not intend to pay
above what the bonds are worth and
will make no purchases if the offers
indicate that the market prices are to
be raised.

THE N
sheriff's Prisoner Identified BY North
Dakota Man.

Notwithstanding his persistent
claims of innocence, it is now fairly
well established that the man arrest
ed by the sherif's officers, last Sun
day night, is one of the two men for
whose arrest the Little Missouri
Horse company has been offering a
large reward. A member of the COM
pany, MI. Clark, arrived in the city
early yesterday morning and posi-
lively identified the prisoner at Otto
Chenelworth, one Of the men accused
of completely in the theft of the band
Of horses which it was attempted to
II off sometime ago.
The prisoner admits that his name
is Chenelworth, but denies that he
is guilty of the offense, charged
against him. He claims that he is
wrongfully accused and that a mis-
take has been made. Mr.. Clark, how
ever, thinks otherwise and has tele-
graphed to the North Dakota sheriff
to come and get the prisoner. The Of
ficer was expected to arrive on this
early train from the east.

WoULD-BE BAD MAN.
Indian Agent Edwards Attempts to
Regulate the Press.

''0'ai NSSuk EuWdTUS AltemRtS TO
Regulate the Press.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
In the thickly crowded portion of
n of the principal business streets
yesterday morning Agent Edwards, of
the Grow Indian agency, attempted
an assault upon E. H. Becker, of The
Gazette, because this newspape does
not conduct it's editorial and news
columns exactly to the liking of the
Grow Indian agent. Agent Edwards
imagined that he had a grievance
against the paper and made the at
tack upon Mr.. Becker, alleging as a
reason for the attack the appearance
of an item in The Gazette under date
of September II.
In order that the public may clearly
understand the cause for Agent Ed
wards making an ass of himself on
the streets OF the city the article
published September II is here re-
produced:
Dr. d. P. Townsend, for many years
a practicing physician in this city,
has been appointed as government
physician at the Crow agency to sue
coed DR.. Merriwether. The latter
came to the agency two years ago as
the successor to DR.. Portus Baxter,
against whom a plot was %concocted
to blacken his medical reputation be-
cause the doctor did not feel inclined
to become g party to the political
jobbery and character assassination
planned against the Indian agent
then in charge.
IF DR.. Townsend succeeds in re-
tanning his manhood and his Job at
the Grow Agency at the same time he
will accomplish something nobody
else has ever been able to accomplish
at that hell-hole of infamy.
although DR.. Townsend has passed
the age limit by which he could enter
the government service as a physi-
clan under the rules Of civil service.
his excellent standing as a physician
IN civil wal times, and later in the
pension service, aided very material.
ly in securing for him the appoint
ment. DR.. Townsend will prove him
self a successful physician at the
Grow Agency if allowed to write his
W prescriptions
No analysis of the article in ques-
ton by any fair-minded man would
lead to the conclusion that Edwards
was justified in making the assault
he did. If he believed that The Ga
zette did him a wrong the courts are
here to protect his rights. But Ed
wards is not that kind of a man. He
imagines that he is wild and woody
and hard to curry"-a veritable bad
to a subordinate position in the SER
vice of the government, he expects
that every man in the community shall
take snuff when he says so. His is
clearly a case where a mans head
has swelled out of all proportion to
the size of the hat he wears.
On account of the disturbance,
Deputy Sheriff Robbins swore to q.
complaint alleging that both were
guilty of disturbing the peace. Ed
wards appeared before Justice Mann.
pleaded guilty to the charge and paid
a fine of $25 and costs. Mr.. Becker
stated to the court that he had sim
ply protected himself from the attack
of his assailant and that he would
therefore appear for trial. His case
is docketed for 10 o'clock Saturday
morning.

son and Lucille Vaughan.
The dairy products of the valley.
where the great alfalfa fields furnish
nutritious food for the dairynan's
stock, are equal to those of any part
of the world. There were fine exhib-
it's in this department by Mrs. J.
Summers, Mrs. Marsh. Clarence Van
Wagenon, John Dover.
The home department has splendid
display of things which tempt the
palate. There are prettily decorated
cakes, pastry, bread, ETC., and great
pyramids of canned fruits, preserves
and %jellies. Mrs. Olney Taylor of
Park City, Mrs. N. G. Carwile, Mrs. c..
Van Wagenon, Mrs. Wright, Misses
Sleeper, Tomlinson, Mrs. L. B. Smith.
j.. w. Vaughan and a number of young
girls have exhibits that are excep-
t~ionally good.
Minor Exhibits.
Although no races will take place
today, the fair grounds will be open
for the accommodation OF those de-
string to see the exhibits. The ticket
office will remain closed and every
body will be admitted free.
The exhibit of fruit made by Olney
Taylor of Park City is as remarkable
as it is interesting. His display of
apples would be. creditable in a coun-
try which nature supposedly has de-
signed especially for the cultivation
of that fruit. But it is with his
peaches that he catches the crowd.
A finer or more tempting and luscious
display of the fruit would be hard to
imagine. His plums, etc, are also
good.
The management would receive the
thanks of the lady patrons if an effort
would be made to keep the entrances
to the grandstand clear and compel
those who obstruct by standing in
them to take seats or go elsewhere.
The n in which the entrances
were obstructed yesterday by per-
ons who insisted on exhibiting them
selves there was but little short of a
downright nuisance. s...
To accommodate those desiring to
remain over the railroad companies
have agreed to extend the limit OF
excursion tickets up to and including
next Monday.
With those who want to see the
best horse win the Indian races are
the favorite numbers on the pro-
gramme. The red riders are "onto'
the curves and quilps of jockeying
and ride for blood, every time. They
may be depended upon to chuck no
race in which they are contesting.
In consequence good judges of horse
flesh feel free to back their judgment
with the coin of the realm, knowing
that they will get a run for their
money.
The visitors from the east end who
backed Forsyth to win displayed far
greater loyalty than judgment.
Congrove is not what might be call
ed a really handsome horse, neither
is he the speediest ever seen on the
track. but for observation-disclosures and
ability to trot squarely he is certainly
a peach. Not once in the three heats
that he trotted yesterday did he go
off his feet or need coaxing with the
whip. In many respects horse and
driver are alike.
A ~megaphone would be a valuable
addition to the equipment of the
judges stand. With such an instr,l-
ment the announcements of Judge
Logan would be more than a mere
to those occupying seats in
the grandstand. All modern tracks
use the megs.
