SCRUNGER IS A NEW WORD.

A small boy approached two men
who were standing in front of the
Courthouse yesterday and asked
them for car fare to East New York.
He had lost his money and feared
he would have to walk home. He
was asked why he could not get five
cents from his office.
"Ah, dey're all scrungers, down
dere," he said, disgustedly.
"What do you mean, boy?"
"W'y, dey're afraid to lent a fell
low a nickel; deylare," he answered.
The word was a new one on the
men, and they proceeded to seek
further wisdom. One down town
youngster whom they approached
knew nothing of their newly ac-
quired word. The next, an urchin
something more than knee high,
grinned when they asked him if he
knew what a scrunger was.
"Sure [ do" he replied.
"What is it?"
"a Teller wot don't wanter give
anything" he said, with more grin,
"right?"
Whereupon the men concluded
that scrunger was good down town
Manhattanese. 1t is pronounced
skrun-jer, and needs but to be
spoken to be appreciated as a good,
vigorous vocable.-New York Sun.

Inial5iEa Is Near Conlitan. State OF
Chiaras Ierrerized by Disturb
ances. sun Hidden by the
Volcano Dust.

Mexico City, Oct. 27.-There is
no little CONSERVATION felt by the
Inhabitants Of many towns and
cities in the remote south country
on account of showers of ashes
falling into the extensive region
from San Juan Bautista, capital Of
the State of Tabasco, and Comitan,
in the State OF Chiapas, as far north
as Salina Cruz, the western terml
mus of the Tehuantepec National
Railway.
1t is believed, according Il. re-
ports received by indians that a
hill near Palanque, where there is
a great prehistoric city in ruins,
has suddenly been transformed into
an active. volcano. The ashes fall
ing at Palanque have hidden the
sun and also at CONTAIN and a
great fear has come on the people.
PaIanque is the center of the dis
turbance as the burning mountain
IS said to be near there. There is
some anxiety as regards Chiapas.
Indians arriving at San Christobal
Las Casas say that a hill in the
Guadalupe Sierra is vomiting fire
and smoke.
People in many towns have been
running about in terror and offer
ing prayers publicly for the safety
of themselves and children. Scien-
tific opinion is that all this is part
of the general awakening of vol
canic forces in the West Indies and
Central America.

Record Year on the Lakes With
Great Promise for 1908.
New York, July 2s.A publication just
issued gives the number OF vessels built
In the United States ports during the year
ended June 80. as 1857, of 47s.ssI gross
tons.
In the year preceding there were built
1.709 vessels OF 4ss,615 tons gross. This
year the sail tonnage aggregated 101,072
tons; last year 12s ,e99 tons. A substan-
tial increase is noted in steel steamers
which aggregate 27b,479 tons. as against
s235,265 tons for last year.
In; the great lakes district there Is every
Indication of volume OF ship building
in 1903 fully equal to the record year now
closing. The lake ship builders close
their year about mid summer, as their
most active period is the fall and winter.
In the year now closing, they have built
forty y-thre vessels, costing about $10,250,- =
600. They already have for the coming
year orders for twenty-eight vessels that
are to cost about s7.25o. 900. This sum

WHERE JOEL STANDS
Congressman Heatwole Writes ,
Gu ban Reciprocity Letter.
TO EUGENE HAY OF THIS CITY
Says He Would Have Supported the
Morris Amendment and Payne
Bill as Amended. ...

Congressman Joel IP Heatwole of the
third district has written Cuban reci-
procity- letter to Eugene Hay, candidate
for congress in this district, who has been
making a good deal OF the question OF
reciprocity with Cuba, which he strongly
fayors. w..
Mr.. Heatwole, who was not in Washing
ton when the Payne bill was passed. says
in this letter that he would have voted for
the amendment taking off the diferential
and would then have voted for the bill.
The congressman from Minnesota then
in Washington voted for the amendment
but did not vote for the amended bill. $
Mr.. Heatwole is of the opinion that the
reciprocity bill. without the Morr. S
amendment, was too much in favor of the
sugar trust to merit his support, but with
the Morris amendment he was in favor o1
reciprocity.
Mr.. Heatwole thus becomes the one
member of the Minnesota delegation whose
record does not show him consistently
opposed to Cuban reciprocity. 49, z
Mr.. Heatwole goes so far as to say that
it is past his comprehension why mem.
Der should vote for the Morris bill and
then refuse to vote for the bill az
amended.
Representative Eddy was in Norway
when the vote was taken. but he has
since placed himself with the five mem
bers present. The other five, 1t Is now
we'll known-though until short time agt
Mr. Heatwole did not so understand /,
himself, as he says in his letter to Mr.
Hay-voted against the bill after it was
amended. Tawney, Stevens, Morris and
McCleary voted for the amendment.

ONE.MILL LEVY
State Auditor Dunn Says It Should
Be Enough.
AFTER THIS YEAR AT THE MOST
Gross Earnings Tax and Other Re-
ceipts Will Soon Make Levy
@ Unnecessary. s

State Auditor Dunn thinks the next leg
islature should wipe from the books the
special levies for the funding tax, the
soldiers relief fund, and the state univer-
sity. and provide money for these pur-
poses by appropriation. This is in line
with the general policy Of reducing the
state tax levy. -a.z- r., .s---.
TT will be only few years. he said
this morning, when no state levy will be
necessary. The increase in gross earnings
taxes and in receipts from other sources
will provide sufficient revenue for all pur-
poses. This year we shall be able to
make q very substantial decrease in the
levy. I have said 1T might be cut down
two-t enths OF mill now believe we can
do better, and reduce the levy for state
revenue to mill. This, at our increased
valuation, will raise enough money, with
what we get from gross earnings. There
will be a great Increase from the rail-
roads In st. Louis county they have 1t
all figured out, and the roads will pay the
state on this years business S125, 900 more
than last. -. III. q -- a..
II see no reason why, after this year,
1-mill levy should not provide revenue for
all purposes except schools. With the j.
mill levy for the state school fund we
would have next year a fiat rate of 2 mills.
The legislature next winter can abolish
the levies for the funding tax, the SOL
diers relief and the university, and make
whatever appropriations are necessary for
these purposes out of the revenue fund.
The 1-mill tax ought to raise enough for
all these purposes two years from now."

HOLDING UP THE CANAL
Nicaragua Furnishes Aid to the
Colombian Rebels. -. =

Washington, July 2S.-The rejection Of
the propositions made by the Colombian
government to General Vargas Santos, the
leader of the Colombian liberals, who for
thirty-eight months have been waging war
against President Manoguin, has encour-
aged the ministers from Nicaragua and
Costa Rica to hope that the isthmian
canal may yet be constructed by the
Nicaraguan route. 80.
This government expects to purchase the
Panama canal, and the state department.
has practically completed a new treaty
with Minister Concha, representing CO.
lombia. The success of the negotiations
depends on the election Of a congress In
Colombia to ratify the treaty. There has
been no congress in that country for three
years, and General Gabriel Vargas Santos
says that the liberals will keep up the
fight for three years more. General Var
gas Santos has rejected the proposal OF
Minister Concha for peace, and it is re-
garded as impossible to have a congress In
Colombia until there is peace. T. ::
The Colombian liberals are receiving aid
from Nicaragua, and 1t is suspected here
that this aid is for the purpose of pre-
venting a congress in Colombia to act on
the canal treaty. 1t will be impossible
to close the negotiations for the transfer
of the Panama canal concession to the
United States without a Colombian con~
gress to ratify the treaty. T., .ssss.

Hastings, Mimi, July ,2s.-E. A. Whit
ford will not be candidate for the re-
publican nomination for congress In the
third district to succeed Joel P. Heat
wole. Mr.. Whitford returned to-day from
a pilgrimage to Northheld, where he COM
emuned with Mr. Heatwole and, while he
declares that import ant business matters
that have recently come up make 1T i'm
perative that he give up all thought OF
running, it Is perhaps. significant that his
at titude toward his own possible candi-
dacy seems to have changed since his visit
to Northfield. ,.-5 ~ III ,5s@@l 1.
However, Mr. Whitford declares with
great earnestness and apparent sincerity
that his business obligations are such that
it would be impossible for him to run.
Asked what his impression was as to
Mr.. Heatwole's Intentions, he confessed
he could not say with exactitude. He was
not certain Mr.. Heatwole was out of it..
At any rate he would support any good
republican available whom the republi-
cans Of the district might name.

OUR NATIONAL DISEASE

I used it only for breakfast, but l found
myself getting so much better, that I
used it all meals. and am pleased to
say that it has entirely cured me of indi-
gestion gained nineteen pounds in
four months and my general health ID
greatly improved.

years, the vital forces low, with but little

end Of the year, she wrote me that Postum
had entirely cured her. and that she had
gained forty pounds In wefgth and felt

FACES THE INDICTMENT
The Chief Charged With Accepting
81. II &16 Bribe. 'r -s,--


81. n &16 Bribe. .-s,.-.
After having made all arrangements for
bail and attended to other details, Colonel
Fred W. Ames presented himself in court
this morning for arraignment on the Sec
ond indictment returned against him by
the grand jury When Judge Simpson
took his seat the bench the superln-
tendent of police, tanned and burned like
a farm hand, had everything arranged so
as not to place himself in position to
spend even an hour In Jail.
The indictment charges that on Feb.
last, being then superintendent of police.
he received SIS from Addie Miller, with
the underst anding that her bagnio on
Third street should be exempt from all
police interference. This Indictment Is
based on the evidence of Addie Miller her
self and of Inspector Otto Wirtensohn.
Colonel Ames did not enter a plea.
This was reserved until Thursday when
he may make motion to quash the In
dictment. If this motion Is denied he will
enter a demurrer. Should this be over
ruled, he will then enter plea and will
naturally plead mot guilty.
At the request of County Attorney
Boardman the case was set for trial on
Aug. 4, next Monday. 1t Is understood
that the case will go to trial, regardless OF
expense. at that time.
His Absence Explained.
Victor J. Welch made a brief explana-
tton to the court regarding the absence
OF his client. He stated that when Colonel
Ames left the city Immediately after his
acquittal on the first charge, he did not
know that there was a warrant out for
him. He went to the southern part OF
Missouri for recreation and did not know
what was happening here. Not until he
received a letter from his wife was he
aware that he was wanted here, and as
soon as he received the information he
set out at once for Minneapolis, coming
straight through without a stop any
where. Mr. Welch remarked that this
explanation was due his client and the
court, in view of the many sensational
articles in the press.
His bail was fixed at $1,000 and the fol-
lowing were accepted as sureties: Will
liam l.. Martin, general freight agent of
the 500 railway; Horace M. Weston, con-
tracing freight agent Of the 500, and
Harry P. Gallaher of the Northwestern
Consolidated Milling company, who IS also
. brother-in-law of Colonel Ames.

Huron, S. D., July 28. = Throughout
Beadle county, and over the entire Jim
river valley, more encouraging indications
for large yields of small grain could
scarcely be desired. The ground Is am
ply moist for the maturing of wheat and
other small grain what Is now needed Is
,@arm, sunshiny weather to ripen grain
and put 1t In proper condition for har-
vesting. Some barley Is In shock, and
rye is also being cut. These crops are
unusually heavy, the barley crop being
| the greatest in the history OF this por-
| tion of the state. The quality is much
better. than ever before known. The ber-
ries are large of uniform size and splen-
did color. Farmers say oats will go fifty
bushels an acre, barley from twenty Ave
to thirty, and rye correspondingly, while
| wheat will range from fifteen to twenty
five bushels an acre. Harvesting Is in
progress In the southern part OF the
| county, and wheat cutting wil1begin in a
few days. Corn is making rapid progress
and bids fair to be a fine crop. Potatoes.
and millet are splendid. Even where po-
tatoes were injured by frost in June,
there will be fair crop.
J. Big Stone CITY, S. d., July, 2s.--Neyer

that crop is In prime condition. The har
vesting of wheat will begin the last OF
this week and will be general BY the mid
die of next week. Corn Is In good con-
| dftion, the warm weather and abundant
| moisture being favorable to It. There Is
greater variety Of crops here this year
than ever before and everything at
