E. z. Ryan, secretary of the Bar
Tenders League, was taken to the
Harrison County Hospital at 10
o'clock last night in rather bad con-
dition. The past'two weeks he sat up
every night with a sick friend. The

suffers from nervous prostration. His
condition is not serious and a few
days rest will restore him to normal
condition.

M SPLENDID CONDITION.
zion with Condition of United
states Treasury.

Washington, Jan. 1.-The treasury
IS in a condition of unexampled
strength" said Secretary Gage Tues
day, when asked to review briefly the
treasury situation at the close of the
year.
..0nly a month ago in my annual report
10 congress, / reviewed these conditions.
.rl.= eserez 4er the last month have made
but little change. For the calendar year
we show receipts in excess Of the ordinary
expenditures amounting roundly to AGO.
eoo.O00 Such an excess might have result
ed In serious embarrassment lad not the
department been able by means Of this
surplus to reduce the public debt in large
amounts. Since April last the treasury
has redeemed and cancelled United States
bonds 70 the par value OF SIS. zoo which
have been applied TO the sinking fund, and
the disbursement resulting therefrom was
81 E6. SIS The available cash on hand Is
therefore only about 900 larger than
The amount held a year ago.
Comparing the situation as II is to-day
with April /. 1897, the result Is most graft
flying. On the latter day the treasury
held money OF all kinds to the amount Of
$50 SD 0c0. Including 500, 10000 as a gold
reserve, leaving, therefore, Sl50000ooo as
a cash balance. To-day in money Of all
kinds the treasury holds s296, 900. and
X We oeduct the $50, 600 now held as
a gold reserve the balance stands at f145,-
o0o.ooo, or 100000 less than 1t was April
J, 1877. II VIII be seen, therefore, that SUBJ
etanttal equilibrium has been maintained.
There has been a very material increase
n the yolume Of money in circulation since
March !, 1881. as well as in the amount per
capita The volume Of money on that
date. outside the treasury, was s. ,675. 694,-
ssg. and the amount per capita was S23.14.
On the first OF December last the amount
0f money outside the treasury was g. 80
z56.2s and the amount per capita was
31S1& The Increase in amount therefore,
was sS7f.56lsz71, and the increase per capita
was s559
The amount OF gold coin ard gold GER
tiflcates IL circulation Increased from S53,-
SGp,515 on March i, 1871, to $4,000 0S9 on
December I. 1901. Every other kind Of
money II circulation is greater in amount
now than on March J. 1871. with the single
exception Of the treasury notes Of the act
Or July IA. 1850. The amount Of these in
circulation December l. 1901, was only
939,oiz.e22, as against SS5.545,62l on March
J. 1857. This reduction in volume grows
out Of the natural operation OF the act
Of July Il ls90. and the act Of March "A.
1900
THE Increase in the amount OF national
hank notes n circulation during the period
IN question was S1a2. l32, ~. This increase
s. mainly attributable to the act Of March
IA 1907

IOWA'S FIRE LOSSES
Three and One-Half Million
Dollars During 1901.

Des Moines Jan. LA conservative
estimate of the fire losses in Iowa
during the year 1901 is $780, 900.
Last year the total losses sustained
by all the companies in the state
were 81 1857 ,9s0.05. The increase for
the year is therefore nearly rs per
cent. The year 1901 has been
peculiarly disastrous year for fire
insurance companies. There have
been numerous large losses during
the year, including the Frankel FIRE
at Des Moines, the loss at Davenport
and the recent loss of the National
Starch Company at Des Moines.
These three losses aggregate over
81 500, 900, and the small losses in
the state this year have been larger
than ever before. During the sum
mer numerous small villages over the
state were practically wiped ont by
ARE, and tho loss iniaaeh case, while
not heavy, considerably increased
the aggrsgate.

SAYS IT is NOT TRUE.
Secretary of State Hay Denies Re-
port that United States VIII Re-
duce Claim Against China.

Picking, Jan. 1.-The brief diplo-
matte sensation caused here by the
cabled announcement that the United
States would reduce its Chinese in
demnity claim by $1s,OoO,OOO has been
ended by a dispatch from Secretary
of State Hay to Mr.. Conger, the Unit
ed States minister here, saying the
report to this effect was fabrica-
ton. Secretary Hay said also in his
message that the American claim is
moderate and just, but that the Unit
ed States was willing to waive its
pro rata share If necessary.

longer To his widow, Augusta, he

0skaloosa and the Iowa Central
Railroad.

Railroad.
Editors Herald 1t appears to the
writer of this that the Oskaloosa mer-
chants ought to patronize the Iowa
Central railroad heavily. 1t is our
chief industry in this city, and dis
tributes a great amount of money in
wages each month. am told that
the pay ROLLS in the neighborhood of
$40, 600, that is about S24O, 900 each
year. Now, from such a large sum
of money we can readily see which of
our railroads is entitled to the great
bulk of the patronage of our mer-
chants. 1t is plain that railroad is the
Iowa Central.
If by any misfortune the Iowa Cen
trail division was removed from here
this city would be badly crippled and
property would easily deteriorate
fifteen percent in value. This is so
plain that it is astonishing to find
quite a number OF our merchants who
give but little or nothing Of their bust
ness to the Central. 1 am informed
that the employees of the road are be-
ginning to fad out who these are.
This is a practical world, aud we
usually help those who help us. II,
therefore, our business men are 80
dull of apprehension Rs to be unable
to perceive the value of the Iowa Gen.
trails pay roll, they cannot be sur
prised if the company would change
its division to some other place. On
the other hand, if we meet the COM
pany by a proper appreciation OF
what it is doing for the town we may
reasonably hope that it will do much
more for it in the near future than
what it has done in the past. Furth-
ermore, If our merchants gave to the
Iowa Central eighty or ninety percent
of their business, they would have
but little difficulty in getting the COM
pany to double or treble its present
pay roll
AS far as can see there is nothing
at present visible which can at all
compare with the Central Railroad
for building up Oskaloosa. We are
just situated at the right point Of the
road for a division, and we can II
we are wise give It an immense vol
ume of BUSINESSMAN amount Of bust
ness which the road cannot get in
any other OF it's towns, and with these
two things we can get anything we
want that is just and reasonable from
the company.
There are not few towns In lows
as well as in other states which once
had as good an opportunity as VIZ
have at present to build themselves
up by the aid Of a railroad and which
negIecting to grasp the advantage
presented are today almost obliteEat
ed from the map.
IfOvkaIoosa should now fail to take
hold Of her opportunity her folly viii
most surely be matter Of record
later on. !.

Kitchener Reports That Since De-

Nebraska Former State Treasurer
Freed from Prison.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 1.--Goy. Savage
at seven o'clock Tuesday night
granted an unconditional pardon to
Joseph S. BARLEY, former state treas
urer, who five years ago was SEN
fenced to 20 years in the penitentiary
on conviction of having embezzled
S201, 900 of state funds. The pardon
went into effect from the moment it
was delivered to Mrs. BARLEY by the
governors private secretary. 1t was
presented to Warden Davis at the
penitentiary a half hour later, and
at nine o'clock, with his family and
lawyer, BARLEY was brought in car
rage to his home in the city. Bart
ley has been in the state prison four
years and six months, in addition to
a year in the Douglas county Jail
while his appeal to the supreme
court was pending. His entire short
age is alleged to have been S55o,000,
but he was convicted on the single
count of embezzling S201, 900.
Gives His Reasons.
Gov. Savage makes an extended ex-
PLANTATION of his reasons for grant
ing the pardon. Primarily, he says,
he is led to believe the ends of
Justice have been met in the punish
ment already inflicted. He thinks
the enormity of the crime was not
such as to merit the sentence inn
posed. Further, he finds extenuating
circumstances. Mr.. BARLEY, he says,
was the state treasurer at a time
when the whole country was under
going financial depression. Owing to
depreciating values many Nebraska
banks were on the verge of collapse,
and it was with the best intentions
and to tide them over, the governor
urges, that Mr.. BARLEY advanced
them state money. Much of this had
been lost, for which BARLEY stood re-
sponsible, though he did not profit.
The governor finally gives the
names of several hundred of the most
prominent men in the state appeal
ing for the pardon. Four thousand
others, he says, have made the same
request. The governor also refers to
the parole granted BARLEY last July,
which he justifes. 1t was given, he
says, because it was represented that
by so doing it was possible for the
paroled prisoner to make collections
of money which would be resto"eS 80
the state. The action ofD5ie repub-
hcan state convention, demanding his
return to prison, while he regards it
unwise, seemed to him mandatory,
and he cancelled the parole. Further
study of the case, the governor says,
finally leads him to believe that the
ends of justice are fully met by an
unconditional pardon.

E Old YEAR DIES PARDON GRANTED. WILL FIGHT MERGER
Action Taken by the Conference Of
Governors.

Helena, Mont, Jan. LA definite
plan of action to defeat the proposed
consolidation of the Northern Pacific,
Great Northern and Burlington rail-
way systems has been unanimously
agreed upon by the governors and at
torneys general of seven northwestern
states in which those roads have mile
age. Legal action will be instituted
Immediately in Minnesota courts with
this obejct in view. To quote Attorney
General Douglas, of Minnesota, 1.-THE
thing will be fought to finish" just
how, when or where these suits will
be brought, neither Gov. Van SAINT, Of
Minnesota, or Attorney General Doug
las would state. The conference adj
journed late Tuesday afternoon after
adopting resolutions condemning the
proposed merger as contrary to sound
public policy and pledging support to
any proper legal action which may be
brought to test it's validity. Other So
buttons adopted call on congress to in
vestigate the subject and favor the
granting of power to the interstate
commerce commission to fix maxi
mum rates upon interstate business.
Gov. Herried, of South Dakota, left
for his home before action was taken,
but rough drafts of the resolutions
were presented to him before he left,
and it is understood he favored them.
Gov. Van SAINT and most of the other
state officials who have been present
at the conference left late Tuesday
night for their homes. Gov. Van SAINT
expressed himself as much gratified
over the result of the meeting which
had been requested by him.
Cows. Hunt and Toole also expressed
qualification at the result of the con-
ference.
