Confidence in These Securities
Strong as Ever.
Richmond. Va. Oct. 2.-Concerning
the request for an extension by credit
ors made by John L. Williams & Sons
of this city and j. w. Middendorf &
Co., member of the firm of John l..
Williams & Sons, in this city, said to-
day:
so far very few show a disposition
to press us. On the contrary, we have
gratifying indications of a disposition to
give both of the firms time to realize
on their assets and make a settlement.
l am satisfied we can pay out in full,
and leave us large surplus, if we are
permitted to do so, and the figures will
bear me out.
"Middendorf & Co. and ourselves have
been trying to carry the load and to
take care of ourselves and our friends
by protecting the Seaboard markets.
Our confidence in these securities has
been strong always, and is as strong
now as ever, but we have not been able
to hold them up against the mysterious
and irresistible fall in prices. With the
market in anything but normal condi-
ton for these securities and others SELL
ing at anywhere near their real value,
we would be far ahead.
1--WE are cramped simply by the i'm
possibility of selling any securities, no
matter how sound, in the present con-
dition of the market. Our hope and be-
lief is that we shall tide over this with
out loss to any creditor and with a
fair margin for ourselves"
Baltimore, Oct. 2-There was no dis
turbance in financial circles here to-
day over the announcement that the
well known banking houses of ]. Will
liams & Sons had asked their creditors
for an extension of time.
After the first surprise was over there
was evidence on all sides that the To-
cal financial situation was in a healthy
condition Leading bankers and hrok-
ers were ready to lend helping hands
to prevent any temporary unsettlement
of the. market from going too far, but
this was unnecessary.
There were reports on the street that
there would be joint meeting of bank
ers and brokers for this purpose, but
it was not held. Inquiry among the
heads of banking institutions devel-
oped the fact that the general feeling
was that the local situation did not
need any help, and that as soon as peo-
pie began to view conditions clearly
it would show an improvement. This
view was so wisely held that the sug-
gestion of a meeting to take action
to protect holders of securities was
dropped.
President Williams of the Seaboard
Air Line and Middendorf & Co. have
received during the day many tele-
grams of sympathy and offers of aid.
Among them was the following: New
York, Oct. 2.-Hope you will speedily
arrange temporary difficulties. You
have our best wishes, and we wish we
could help you in some way further.

THE NEW STAMPS
WILL SOON Be DUE
Ths Familiar Two-Center VIII
Attract ths Most Attention
Some Other New
Styles.

Many changes have been made by
the postofIice department of the gov
ernment in the new issue of postage
stamps which will make their appear
ance in this part of the country in
short time. The stamps of nearly
every denomination will undergo
change.
The stamp which will no doubt at
tract the most attention is the new
two-cent stamp. The color and por-
trait, that of Washington, will not be
changed but the alteration will be in
the position and finesse of the work.
With the exception of a small con-
sigDment of the new thirteen-cent
stamps none of the new Issue have
been received at the local postoffice.
The general description of the new
stamps Is as follows: The one-cent,
Benjamin Harrison, green: two-cent,
George Washington, red; four-cent, u.
S. Grant, chocolate; fve-cent, Abra-
ham Lincoln, purple; eight-cent, Mar

A CRACKING
OF THE WHIP
To Obtain Some Kind Of Antitrust
Legislation at the Present
Legislation.
LODGE IS ACTING As engineer.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The Little
field antitrust bill will be urged by
administration influences for passage
at this session of congress. The prcsi-
dent has decided to make every effort
in that direction and is willing to make
many sacrifices to accomplish this.
There has been a new cracking OF
the whip relative to antitrust legisla-
ton. The president became worried
by the declarations of the Republican
leaders that the publicity feature of
the department of commerce bill will
be the only antitrust legislation enact
ed by the senate at this session. He
likes this feature so far as it refers
to publicity, but believes it will prove
of no value for controlling the trusts
The president became satisfied that
Senator Aldrich would not undertake
to pass the Littlefield bill. He sent
for Lodge and others Of his Intimate
friends and asked them to undertake
the task He said that the Littlefeld
hill is the only measure now under
consideration which actually accom-
pIishes what the people demand. All
other proposed bills are deficient and
not sufficiently strong to meet the re-
1uircments. He requested Senator
Lodge to make the effort of his life
to pass the Littlefield bill.
Senator Lodge gave the promise and
at once began to canvass to determine
/ how far the Democrats will support
him in substituting the Littlefield an
THRUST bill for the pending statehood
bill He will make a thorough count
of noses in the quickest possible time.
If he does not find enough support 10
make the substitution he will try and
have the Littlefeld bill added as an
amendment in conference to the de-
partment of commerce bill
Senator Lodge realizes that nc
progress can be made toward passing
an antitrust bill unless enough Dem
ocrats will desert Quay to again place
the Republicans in control of the SEN
ate and sidetrack the statehood bill
The futility of fighting Senator Quay
has repeatedly been demonstrated
during the past few days. He has
the votes to do absolutely as he
pleases with pending legislation, and
his forces must be disintegrated be-
fore any measure can pass which does
not receive his approval.

nurses are to be dismissed, and GRIM
inal prosecution Is threatened against
many of them. It was charged and
proved to the satisfaction of the in
vestigators that patients we're cruelty
beaten and subjected to tortue. In
one case an old man was held under

his shoutings. The reckless use of

to have hastened death In many cases.

IS HOT ON
THE TRAIL
Alliance Going After Some Of the
County Offices This
Time.
CANDIDATES FOR Representative.

The political situation over at Alli-
ance is attracting considerable atten-
tion among the Republican politicians.
For number of years that city has
been left out in the cold so far as Sc
curing county offices is concerned. For
time 1t was due to the Vaccinations
of the wire-pullers in other parts of
the county, but during the last two
or three years it is claimed that the
fault has lain at the door of the AL
lance people themselves.
Several offices were practically con-
ceded to the east end city. but in
every instance two or three candi-
dates would spring up over there and
the result would be that with their
home strength divided, some candi-
dates from the center or west end
would slip in and carry away the
plum.
This year the same situation con-
fronts the Republicans of Alliance.
There are two representatives to be
nominated, and the politicians have
agreed that one should come from AL
lance and the other from the middle
or west end of the county. William
p. Findlay, of Lawrence township, has
already announced himself from the
west end. 1t is understood that James
A. Welker, OF Canton, will contest al
so for the honor.
Alliance. however, springs into the
arena with three full-hedged candi-
dates, namely, Ed. A. Beeson, the ho-
tel man, L. w. Ballard. doctor OF dem
tai surgery and Frank A. Holes,
publisher of the Review.
All three are determined to make
the race. 1t is urged that II they do
SO, the strength from the east end will
be so divided that none of them will
succeed, and again the howl will go
up that Alliance is being unfairly
treated.
For recorder. the same situation ex-
ists Alliance has two candidates who
have announced. One is Col. w. w.
King, merchant tailor. The other
j. l.. Russell, prominent grocer. The
only other candidate announced is ex-
Sheriff John j. Zaiser, of Canton, who
is perfectly satisfied that Alliance
should be divided by internecine
strife.

BOY OF FOURTEEN
IL Ord aimed to Spread Cos pol.

Marion, O., Jan. 30.-In Lawrence
f. Ames, Marion perhaps has the
greatest religious prodigy of the
world. He is but IA years of age, and
yet was few weeks since ordained
to preach by the United Brethren
bishop. The boy prepares and delivers
the most forceful sermons in an elo-
quent manner. He has committed
chapter after chapter of the scripture
to memory and quotes It readily with
out reference from the pulpit.
This week he is holding services at
Kenton. and his services are in de-
mand all over the state. All of those
who have heard, both of the ministry
and the laity, are a unit in saying that
he is certainly inspired.
He Is the son of a mechanic, who is
not overly well educated and only In
fairly well-to-do circumstances.
