Who was it that picked up In Ben
wood the 81 500 belonging to George
Sloyedora, Pole? This is the ques-
ton that is troubling the Benwood po-
lice and they have several men under
suspicion as having knowledge Of the
rJney.
AS far as the police could learn from
Slovedora, who is not fluent speaker
OF the English language, he received
the money one day last week from his
old home in Poland. lie took the
money home and wrapped it in a cloth.
He placed this in a canvass poke, ty-
ing all up secure, and placed it in his
trunk with the intention of taking 1t
on Monday and depositing it in the
Bank of Benwood. All went well I'M
til about ten o'clock Sunday morning,
when he opened his trunk to procure
some article of clothing.
He carelessly left thee trunk open
and his five year old son entering the
room in search of something to play
with. came across the canvass poke
containing the money. He appropriate
ed this and went out of the room uE-
noticed. Later persons saw the boy
playing with an Italian boy in the
street with what looked like an old
stocking They paid no attention TO
them.
On the discovery of the money being
gone, they at once instituted search.
stocking and when asked what he had
done with it stated that they had left
it in the street The father hurried
out, but the only trace he could find
was piece of string. He hurried to
Wheeling, and saw fortune teller who
told him that man with black eyes
and dark hair had the money.
As this did not tell Slovedora who
had his money he thought It best to
notify the Benwood police. which he
did. Officers Furbee and Yost at once
began a thorough investigation in the
vicinity of the brick row, where Slove-
dora lives, but no trace of the money
could be found.
Yesterday Marshall FurDee again
went over the ground and was re-
wardsd with finding the canvass poke
- B. & o. railway track The
bfosen string matched the piece Slove-
dora had found in the street
Yesterday sloyedora told the police
the money was as follows: Five ore
hundred dollar gold certificates: eight |
one hundred dollar silver certificates;
three fifty dollar bills, and si4N in ten |
and twenty dollar bills.
The police have notified all the neigh !
boring towns and Slovedora has offer |
ed a reward OF s10O to any person fur |
nishing information that VIII lead to
the recovery of the money.
Late last evening the police stated
that they were confident the clew they
then had would lead to results to-day,
and that the persons implicated did
not i've in the brick row.

 CHINESE QUESTION Says Specific Duties Will Re-
 place Ad VaIorem COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS Charged by Roosevelt With ResponsI- blIltles of an Important Nature. VIII Study Trade Relations
 In the Orient.
COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS

San Francisco, October 20.-Thad 8. Sherretts who has been appointed by President Roosevelt as the representative of this government In the commission that will undertake the revision of the Chinese tariff, has arrived hero en route to China. Commissioner Sherretts will sail on the American Maru on Tuesday next. He expectssto go straight to Pekin where he will present his credentials and will then return to Shanghai where the tariff commission will hold It's sessions.
 In discussing his mission he said:
 'The principles on which the new tariff will be constructed are already generally understood The present ad valorem duty will be abolished and 1t is the in- tention of the commission to make spe- ciic duty the dominant feature of the new tariff with perhaps one ad valorem duty of or 10 per cent added. The diffi- culty will come in determining what spe- cific duty should be charged against the various articles of import. Each member of the commission will naturally endeavor to protect the interests of his own coun- try so far as possible"
 MT. Sherretts says that In addition to his duties on the tariff commission he Is charged by President Roosevelt and the Secretary of State with other reeponsi- bilities of an important nature.
 When the labors of the commission are ended he will devote some time to a careful study of commercial conditions in the Orient and the trade relations be- tween China and the United States ana will then cooperate with United States Minister Conger in negotiating a new commercial treaty with China.

INDIGESTION.

Many things you fear about your stom- ach cannot be true. If you have had indigestion or dyspepsia for years 1t Is natural to be- lieve that the stomach itself Is dis easted It is only the functions of the stomach that are impaired This is the whole trouble in vast majority of cases and the proof can be had by trying Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic.
 Your stomach has many things to do, and failure to do any one of them leads to imperfect digestion. The stomach gets it's nutriment and it's digestive fluids from the blood. If the blood is impure or lacks the right proportion of strength -produc- ing iron, the whole body suffers from kind of breaking down process.
 To restore health you must start at the source of life itself-the blood-and through that vital fluid build up the stomach and other vital organs.
 Dr. Harters Iron Tonic has cured thousands of cases of indigestion and dyspepsia every year for the past forty five years It is the one remedy you can take with certainty of immediate i'm provement and a sure cure
 It is prepared with scientific accuracy and many eminent physicians prescribe it constantly Faithful use of 1t will, en- able you to digest your food as perfectly as you ever have. Prepared only by The Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,. Dayton, o. Sold everywhere.

BAD SITUATION IN
 TIE PHILIPPINES No Prospect of Reducing the
 Army There INVESTMENTS EXPIRl N 6 Troops Returning at the Rate of 2,ooo Month-Extra Transports
 Are Needed for Their
INVESTMENTS EXTERN 6

Washington, October 20.-One of the serious consideration of Secretary Root on his return to this city this week will be the military situation in the Philip pines. The recent serious outbreaks in the Island of Samar have disturbed the au- thorities considerably. It Is realized that they may prove a serious setback to the plans of the administration for the pacifi- cation of the Filipinos and the exten- sion of American sovereignty.
 There is no longer any prospect of substantial reduction in the strength of the Philippine army for some time to come In fact the latest advices from General Chaffee contain arguments against any reduction of the army at this time except as required by the expiration of enlistments.
 Many Soldiers Returning.
 As pointed out by General Corbin in his annual report, the army will lose nearly 2000 men month on this account. The war department officers are now consid- ering how to meet this prospective defi- ciency without impairing the efficiency of the military establishment in the Phil ippines.
 General Chaffee has said that he will require three extra transports to assist in bringing home the short-term men within the next six or eight months. The Quartermaster's Department has selected the transports Meade, Rosecrans and Egg bert for this special service. The last two named will leave Washington ports in a few weeks for Manila. They will take out civilian employees and supplies.
 New Troops Needed.
 The Meade, which is at San Francisco, Is being held in reserve for the purpose of taking out troops to replace those to be brought home. Other vessels which will be used In taking troops to the Philip pines are the Grant at San Francisco and the Crook at New York. The former, which Is expected to leave about the middle of next month. will carry out an entire regiment with its equipment, and the Crook will take the nucleus of an other regiment and a number of recruits. She will start about December 1.
 Although not finally settled 1t Is prob able that the Twenty y-eighth Infantry, now in the Department, of the Columbia, will be ordered to the Philippines on the Grant.
