BOWS TO MONROE DOCTRINE.
Germany Asks Americas Permission
to Collect From Venezuela.

Berlin, Dec. 25.-The announcement
that Germany had sent an ultim.atum
to Venezuela has been cOnspicuOusly
printed in the press here. Those news
papers maintaining closest relations
With the government affirm that this
news is premature. While an ulti-
matum has not yet been delivered to
Venezuela, they say, this step will
soon be taken unless Venezuela yields
to what are deemed the reasonable de-
mands Of Germany
The leading ultramOntane organ, the
Cologne Volks Zeitung, in am extensive
article on Germanys attitude toward
the Monroe doctrine, asserts that the
assurances of DR.. Won Holleben, the
German ambassador to the United
States, with regard to the Venezuelan
matter indicate Gernlany's recognition
OF the Monroe doctrine in a more alb.
solute manner than has heretofore
been done. This paper says Germany
BOWS to the Monroe doctrine and al
ludes to the expression of the late
Prince Bismarck that the Monroe doc
trine was "a piece of impudence."
Nevertheless. the Cologne Volks Zeit.
ung admits that "the impudence Of the
United States is succeeding brilliant.
ly and that Europe is already accus-
toming itself to the idea of the tutelage
of the United States in South Amer
lea. The Cologne Volks Zeitung con.
cludes by saying:
"Must Germany really ask Washing
tons permission to collect 3,OOO,OOOO
marks from Venezuela? Must we
pocket all sorts Of warnings and con.
Cealed threats?"

New York, Dec. 25-After a year OF
enormous transactions and immense
profits, the exchanges, the banks, the
trust companies, the bankers and

Williamson, w. Va, Dec. 25.-Sev-
eral Logan county men rode into Din

were Walter Adams and John Mullens,
half brothers. Constable John Dillon
arrived later and attempted to arrest
the men, when a regular street duel
occurred, probably 20 shots being fired.

were killed instantly and Adams was
slightly wounded. The latter mounted
his horse and rode rapidly to the in
terror.
Dillon was prominently known The
excitement is intense, and should
Adams be captured, a lynching may

NO FORMAL TENDER MADE.
Shaw Has Been Asked if He Would Ac-
cept Portfolio if Offered 1t.

Des Moines, a., Dec. Ex-Governor
Leslie M. Shaw was seen by the AS
ISOLATED Press representative as he
stepped from the train on his arrival
from Dubuque. He said regarding his
attitude concerning the secretaryship
of the treasury:
"The appointment of secretary of
the treasury has not been formally
rendered to me by the president. I
have been asked if would accept the
position if such tender were made. |
shall consider the matter somewhat
further and decide it without unneces-
sary delay"
The governor said that was as deep
as he cared to go into the matter at
present and would not intimate what
his decision was likely to be. Those
close to the governor here believe he
will accept the position if it is formally
rendered.

Christmas at the Churches.

The Christmas trees and entertain
ments at both the Congregational and
Methodist churches we're happy and
joyous events, especially so to the
children, though the old folks were
really as young as the little ones.
At the Congregational church a very
interesting program was rendered bv
the little folks. The church was
decorated with evergreen and holly
and the large tree was loaded down
with Christmas tokens. Above the
tree was suspended a large star. The
tree gllttered with lighted tapers and
presented beautiful appearance. G..
A. Eaton acted as Santa Claus and de-
lighted the little ones who received
the many gifts from his hands. The
church was filled and all enjoved the
happy time.
At the Methodist church there was
also Christmas cheer brimful and rum
ming over. The church was packed.
'"o oNOioioCo III pdIJ consisted OF q
cantata participated in by nine little
girls. The scripture lesson was read
by nine little boys, each one reading
two verses. Ouida Brown 'preached''
the sermon. using the beautiful senti-
ment peace on earth, good will to-
ward men," The little children from
two years and up took part in the pro-
gram.
The large tree was bright with in
candescent lights and the effect pro-
duced as all the lights in the church
were turned off, leaving the tree illu-
minated was indeed pretty. I.E. Bur-
gan made a good Santa Claus and was
kept busy distributing gifts to Sunday
school scholars, teachers and officers.
One OF the teachers in the school
bought over sixty presents. All were
we'll remembered. The Ladies' Aid
society presented Mrs. Gratz with a
fine quilt. After the presents we're
distribu the ushers brought in a
barrel of Baldwin apples to finish off
with.

Car Shortage in Pittsburg Distric

Pittsburg, Dec. 25.-The car short
age in the Pittsburg district is worse
than ever before, and as result many
mills are shut down or only in partial

RAISE THE MEMS WAGES.
General Increace Talked of on Eastern
Roads,

Chicago, Dec. 25.-At a special meet
ing CT the General Managers associa-
tion here, a movement was started
which is expected to result in a gen
eral increase in the wages Of trainmen,
enginemen, firemen and switchmen of
all the big railroad systems east OF
Chicago. These employees number
altogether several hundred thousand
men.
The meeting was called at the re.
quest of the Pennsylvania company,
the cause being the coal shortage and
the generally congested condition of
traffic. 1t was agreed that a raise in
the wages of the employees would do
much toward stimulating them to bet
ter service. 1t was decided to recon-
mend this action to the management
of the several roads.
