papa white cap, amidst breathless ST.
lence He did not follow the precedent
created by Pope Leo, who declined TO
give his red cap 10 the master OF cere-
monies as a sign that he would soon be
created a cardinal. but with a slight
smile, Sarto took the white cap, placed
II calmly on his head, and dropped the
red one lightly on the head OF Mgr.
Merry del Val. amidst murmurs OF APP

cation that the happy recipient IL soon

NEW PoNTIFF STEPS FORTH.
AS the new ponuff stepped from be-
hind the altar, the only touch OF color
about him being his red and gold shoes
he really seemed TO be the embodiment
OF his holy office. His face was pale
and clearly softened by emotion. lie
paused moment as he came before the
eXpectant cardinals, then seated him
self on the throne, with a hurried move
ment, as though he had suddenly grown
weak. His back was 10 the altar, and
he was enthroned to serve the so-called
first obedience" of the cardinals. They
came forward. one by one, some calm
and smiling, others sober and non-com>
initial, while still others found consid-
cradle difficulty even at this hour in
conceallng their too obvious dlsap-
pointment. All kissed his hand and
foot. while he saluted each on the
cheek, with the kiss Of peace. Then all
broke into the TIE Deum with such eff
feet that scarcely an eye was dry.
GIVES PAPAL BLESSING.
Plus X then rose and in a voice at
first tremulous, but gradually, becom-
ing full and firm, administered the pa
pal blessing TO all the members OF the
sacred college. II was received with
bowed and uncovered heads.
The fsherman's ring, not yet having
been found, new one designed by
Camerllngo Oreglia, was placed on the
pontiffs finger as a symbol OF renewed
power and evidence that the Catholic
church has once more a sovereign head.
Sarto bore hldmself with becoming
dignity and gave no outward sign Of
eSultation In this, the supreme moment
OF his life.
In the meanwhile masons and carpen-
ters had been busy breaking down doors
so that the cardinal deacons, together
with the master of ceremonies and the
conclayists and many others, might
proceed to the balcony Of st. Peters.
The populace waiting In the piazza. had
already, at half past II o'clock, seen the
tiny thread OF smoke, almost transpar-
ent, which warned them what to expect,
so that when the windows OF the bal
cony slowly opened and the great
cleaning cross was seen, the excite
ment and Impotence heightened to the
extreme,

The new pope was attired all In white
with the exception Of red shoes, which
was quite regular. but he did no, stop
TO remove the red cardinals stockings
for the whte papal ones, and these

BIG TOBACCO FAILURE.

Suffer Bros. of Chicago Apply for Receiv-
ership.
Tightness in the money market, coupl-
ed with the strain of a long war with the
tobacco trust, Unexpectedly forced the
old leaf tobacco firm of Suffer Brothers,
157 Lake street, to ask receivership of
Judge Kohlsaat in the United States
District Court Monday. ~
The receivership petition was filed by
Edwin A, Clarence B. and Ray G. Sut-
ter, relatives of Louis and Adolphl SUIT
ter, who are president and secretary of
the concern. Until Sunday night the
officers did not despair Of meeting their
obligations, but when their last resources
for credit failed them they are said to
have agreed to the bankruptcy proceed
ings. Unpaid salaries amounting in all
to about $4,000 are the basis of the
claims made by the three petitioners
William G. Niblack and Eugene G.
Pearson were appointed receivers by
Judge Kohlsaat who fixed their bond at
100000, the largest ever filed in local
bankruptcy court.
According to the inventory taken last
week." said Receiver Niblack, ''the liza
bilities of the firm amount to about
100000 less than it's assets. The i'm
mediate reason for the bankruptcy is
that Suffer Brothers have been carrying
az immense stock of tobacco, and have
of late been unable to obtain money
with which to support this load. There
is no truth in the report that there is
dissension among members of the firm"
Edward A. Suffer, one OF the six
brothers that compose the firm, admitted
hot ho no Ar,o
bacco Company had crippled the re-
tative of Suffer Brothers said that al
the liabilities, yet it was possible that
ments OF their claims. An attempt will
be made to preserve the good will OF the
business by recognizing and inducing
claimants to take notes In extension OF
their demands.
The Suffer Brothers went through
bankruptcy proceedings about twenty
years ago. and did not incorporate the
present company until 1898. 1t was cap
italized at 100000 and soon controlled
one of the largest independent houses in
the United States.
Tobacco growing on large scale was
carried on near Delavan, Wis, and ware
houses were erected at Madison. Louis
Suffer, president of the corporation, has
been in the tobacco business over thirty
years and has made speciality of deals
affecting the European importation of
tobacco
AS a reason for asking that the firm
be declared bankrupt the petition pre-
sented to Judge Kohlsaat alleged that
the concern was insolvent and that
preferential payment of 81, 400 was made
Nov. 2 to the L. Newberger Company.
Banks in Chicago and the East are the
largest creditors, a large proportion of
the claims being secured by warehouse
receipts given for loans.

RUSHING BUSINESS AT THE FEEDING
YARDS.

Thousands of Western Sheep Coming Here.
The number of sheep passing through
Edgerton this fall leads most people to
suppose would supply the whole world
with mutton for some time to come. The
Shepard & Born feeding yards have held
around 1900 sheep and lambs for more
than month past Train loads may
come and train loads are shipped out,
but the yards keep about that number
on hand all the time. A lot of 5000 are
now on full feed and will remain for sew
eral months, but usually their stay is
from few days to a week before being
sent on to market. Adyices from the
sheep country of the northwest are that
big shipments will continue until we'll
into the winter, but recent decline in
the market is holding back large num-
Der on the ranges that will come forward
as soon as prices revive. The establish
ment of the yards here has given farm
ers in this locality chance TO obtain
stock sheep for fattening and several
thousand have been disposed of to near
by farmers so far this season.
Just now good many sheep are be-
ing put through a dipping vat as pre-
tentative or cure for the scab that has
been discovered in shipment of lambs
that came in from Washington a few
weeks ago. The discovery was made
that the lambs were afflicted with the
scab in Chicago and government in
spector came here and finding portion
of the lambs remaining in the yards
stopped the shipment and insisted that
they must be treated with the dip be-
fore forwarding. A large vat filled with
a heated liquor of government formula
is provided and the sheep are driven
down an incline and immersed in the
liquor while they swim the length of the
vat. After being treated twice the in
lection is generally stayed. All the
sheep sold to feed in this locality will be
dipped before being sent out. The gov
eminent live stock inspection. board have
very stringent rules regarding precaution
to be taken to prevent the spread Of in
fections of this character. -

ANOTHER TOBACCO FIRM FAILS.

:. Another large leaf tobacco house, that
OF Crump Brothers, POT and 200 Ran
dolph street, Chicago, was forced into
the federal court Of bankruptcy Tues
day. Former Judge Oliver 81. Horton
was appointed receiver, his bond being
fixed at 100000 and he at once took
possession.
The firm had large trade in leaf to-
bacco for the last ten years and its fail
ure, like that of Suffer Brothers, caused
surprise. It is stated that the concerns
of Suffer Brothers and Crump Brothers
were intimately connected in business
dealings, and that the failure of the
former injured the credit of the latter.
The liabilities of the firm are estimat-
ed at S225,000 and the assets at $4,000,
though the latter are said to be worth
nominallv more than the debts.

Internal Machine Found In John Walter
.~. Hotel,


" Oregon, Dane county, is stirred up
over the discovery OF an internal machine
there Tuesday morning in the Walters
hotel, owned by John Walters. The in
fernal machine was in the shape of a
cigar box and contained dynamite enough
to have blown the hotel with it's sixty
guests to eternity. It was fitted with
wires and caps.
The bomb was discovered under the
clerks desk in the office of the hotel.
How it came there no one can imagine,
and the matter has been reported to the
sheriff of Dane county, who will make
an investigation. By many it is believed
the box was fitted up as a bomb as
joke with the simple intention of Great
ing scare. If this be fact the resi-
dents of Oregon consider themselves the
victims of a serious practical joke and
think the joker should receive a punish
ment that il the future will prevent him
from toying with as dangerous play
thing as dynamite.
The Walters hotel is the leading hos
telry of Oregon and if Mr.. Walters was
less popular the opinion would prevail
that possibly there had been deliberate
plot to blow up his hotel. As it is, it is
generally considered that the placing of
the bomb must have Teen intended as
joke.

EdgertOn Again Defea ted.

1t was small crowd composed mostly
of students that attended the football
game at the Driving Park Saturday, in
which the High School teams of Evans
vile and Edgerton contested and the re-
suit hardly less than was expected. Ev-
ansville won the toss and chose to de-
fend the south goal. In the first half
Evansville succeeded in making three
touchdowns and one goal, and in the
second half two more touchdowns and
one goal, making the score ~ to in
their favor. The, Edgerton team was
out-weighed and was poor on the de-
Tense, which made it easy for Evans
vile to gain; but on the offensive our
men smashed through the Evansville
line for good gains, until they lost the
ball on tumble or were held for downs.

recently the Mexican minister of war,

It may be remembered that General
Lopez, who commanded the imperial
troops at Queretaro. and who surrender
ed that stronghold. the remnant Of
Maximtian's army and Macmillan him
self to the republican general. gave it to
be understood by innuendo and through
friends rather than by any definite state
ment Of his own that he had acted in the
matter entirely in Difference to the secret
orders of Macmillan. Lopez, who was
nothing but traitor to the iu-fated
Emperor, endeavored by this means 10
escape the ostracism to which he was
subjected even by the republicans for
having betrayed Macmillan and his army

Not Too Old for Senator.

The Hon. Edmund Winston Pettus said
nothing but thac even if man above
seventy-fve years of age was too old
for the bench he might still be young
enough TO be elected to the United
States Senate. If the Hon. James L
Pugh attached any importance to that
remark, incidentally dropped, he did not
give it serious consideration at that
time. one reason perhaps being that the
home of the Hon. John T Morgan is in
Selma. as is also the home Of the Hon.
Edmund Winston Pettus. and it had been
unusual and contrary TO custom to sc
lect two United States Senator's from
one little Alabama town.
However. the term Of the Hon. James
L. Pugh drew to a close. and when he
returned to seek reelection he found an
elderly gentleman, elderly in years, but
not so in spirit, entering the race with
aT the enthusiasm OF youth That ai-
Ieriy gentleman contesting with him for
the Senatorship was none other than
the Hon Edmund Winston Pettus. and he
so far distanced the Hon. James L. Pugh
that the latter could scarce have been
considered in the race. He was too old
for a judgeshi, but still young enough
for the Senate. and that. it is said. is
the reason whv he is a member of that
body today, and Will no doubt remain 50
as long as he lives
