INVESTIGATING METHODS OF TURF
INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
Five Concerns at St. Louis Have Sus-
pended Payments or Closed
Their Omces.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 12.-At the end of the
third days run on the cooperative turf in
vestment companies by investors demand

pended
International Investment Company-An

Christy Syndicate Investment Company
All payments suspended.
United Turf Investment Company-Ofice
closed.
Grand experimentation of investment
methods.
Crowds of men and women, eager to re-
gain investments, surged into the offices of
the various investment companies to-day,
and all were doomed to disappointment ex-
cept the International Investment Com
pany investors. About o'clock this COM
pany suspended payments and demanded
the stipulated thirty days notice of with
drawal The United Turf Investment Com
pany did not open its offices to-day, and a
sign on the door announced that payments
had been suspended indefinitely.
Investors in the firm of John j. Ryan &
Co. awaited with hope the return from Gin
cinnati of Manager John ]. Ryan. He ar
rived this morning, and the hope was dissi-
pated by his announcement that the assets
of his firm were not sufficient to meet the
demands for Withdrawals. The investors
in the firm of K. j. Arnold & Co. generally
say they have given up all hope Of recoy-
ering anything. This was the first concern
to suspend business.
Late this afternoon the February grand
jury dropped all other business in order to
take up the investigation Of the turf invest
ment companies. Ryan was summoned to
appear before that body, and a similar
subpoena was issued for Arnold, but he is
reported to be in Hot Springs.

BUTTE. Mont. Feb. 1.-THE Burlington
express No. 6. east bound. was held up
shortly after midnight on the Northern Pa
cific tracks eight miles east of this city,
near Homestead, by t~-1 masked men.
They covered the sides - the train with
their guns, uncoupled the engine, mail and
express cars and ran them ahead of the
train about two miles. Two charges of
dynamite were then exploded and the ex-
press safe wrecked. The roof of the car
was blown off. When the messenger real
lied that there was hold-up he tossed
package OF money that he held in his hand
upon a rack above his head, and this money
was saved. How much money was secured
is not known. There is evidence that the
robbers drove to the scene of the hold-up in
a buggy and after stopping the train and
looting the express car and mail car turned
and drove back to Butte again Blood

scene of the robbery at o'clock this morn

to have been wounded.
Detective Murphy this afternoon arrested
William McCullach on suspicion of being
one of the robbers. -Four hundred and
eighty-five dollars was found in McCullach's s

the men. The bloodholnds proved fall

Fireman Jondrow tonight said that the
train was stopped by burning paper, and
that within thirty-five minutes the robbers
had finished their work and were on their
way to Butte. He was forced to 1ncouple
the locomotive and mail and express cars
from the remainder of the train and carry
dynamite for the robbers. One of the BAN
dts fired bullet between his legs to hurry
him.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNORS LETTER.
Lieutenant Governor Gilbert. who was the
first speaker on the programme, was un-
able TO be present on account of illness,
but a letter from him was read His theme
was Republican Trimuphs." In his letter
he said:
1.-The league is composed of earnest, hope
full, strenuous men who are striving FOR
better things, who live in the present and
future and not in the past, who, while re-
joicing in the glories OF our history, give
their thought and energies 10 the prob
lens OF the future. IL Is made up or those
who are controlled by the sweet and Christ
like spirit of him for whom the league is
named, Abraham Lincoln, of those who
seek TO create no classes, OF those who seek
the triumph of principles and TO whom the
securing of Office is only means TO that
end. Opposed to you have been the vicious,
the unthinking, the discontented. The VIC
could not have been gained without your
best endeavor. No body of men named
with your name and actuated by your pur-
poses can fail. Since your organization the
Republican party in five recurring cleo
tions has been successful Indiana has been
lifted from the quagmire of political doubt
The Nation regards us with favor. We
have stood for honor when dishonor was
urged. In every crisis the whole people
have been honored, the demagogues de-
throned. Our representatives at Washing
ton bring luster to our State To be
Hoosier is second only to being citizen
Of our great Republic.

the Republican triumphs of this genera
tion. 1t would be a recital OF every ad-
vance in morals, in statesmanship, in civili-
zation. 1t would follow our .blood-bought
banner borne by our blue-clad boys upon
distant isles of the sea, even around the
globe into the forbidden city of the ancient
capital of the oldest empire in human his
tory. 1t was carried there-it was carried
everywhere-not for CONQUEST, not for gain,
but that the heaven-born principle of hu-
man liberty might be more widely under

May 1 propose this sentiment: To the
Lincoln League of Indiana, to its officers
and members, to its glorious triumphs in
the past and to the yet more splendid Re
publican trimuphs of the future.

ELECTED CITY OFFICERS.
coryallisites Did-was "a Quiet Con
test-Happened Monday.

Corvallisites elected city officers
| Monday. The contest involved
the selection of a mayor for term
of two years, a police judge, chief
of police and treasurer for terms of
one year each, two councllmen each
in the upper and middle wards,
one in each for term of three aad
one in each for a term of two years,
and a councilman in the. lower
ward to serve a full term of three
years. For three Of the positions
there were no opposing candidates.
and the nominee for each was ell
ected without opposition. These
were the mayor, the police judge
and treasurer.
For the Office of chief of police
there was a sharp contest, and
considerable skirmishing done by
each of the candidates and his
friends. The candidates were,
w. G. Lane and J, M. Howard.
Samuel King, earlier in the fight
was candidate for the place but
withdrew from the race last week.
The contest resulted in the cleo
ton of Mr. Lane.
For councilman. there we're two
tickets of candidates in the field in
each ward, each in measure re-
presenting certain views with res
pect to regulation of the liquor
traffic. Practically all in the field
are supposed to have favored en-
forcement of all existing laws,
while it was urged that with some
of the others that they might favor
additional restrictive legislation.
Lines were not however drawn
severely on this issue, as is shown
by the fact that an equal number of
counci1men were elected by each
side The activity at the polls was
infnitesima1 compared with that on
former occasions of the kind.
The result of the election was as
follows: for mayor, B. F. Irvine;
police judge, E. P. Grefoz; chief
of police, w. G. Lane; treasurer,
William McLagan; councilmen.
1st ward, Punderson Avery and
Taylor Porter; 2nd ward, Monroe
Cameron and James Taylor: 3rd
ward, Robert H. Colbert. In wards
where two councilmen were elected
lots will be drawn to determine
which shall have the three and
which the two years terms.

SIX OF THEM.
Orators From Three States In College
Armory Next Friday Night.

The contest which will take
place in the college Armory next
Friday evening has some features
which are especially worthy of
note, from literary and oratorica1
standpoint. No other association
in America has ever conducted such
extensive oratorica1 contests as the
National Intercollegiate Prohibi-
.tion Association; no other has of
fered such large prizes; consequent
1y it has attracted the best talent
in the colleges and great Univer-
sites. Scarcely a large university
in the land but that has furnished
representatives, As far back as
1894 a contest was held on Staten
Island where the, state winners of
thirteen different states met and
competed for first honors. Since
then not year has passed but that
scores of colleges have held Prohi-
bition oratorical contests to be fol-
lowed by state and interstate con-
tests.
|. This year Corvallis happens to
be the place where the state VIM
ners of the coast will meet, Stud
ents along the coast have been
looking throughout the year to the
coming of this event. Sixty five
wrote orations, their sole object
being to be one of the speakers OF
next Friday evening.
Attention is now being called to
the fact that nowhere in the United
States is so much interest taken in
oratory as is in the Western and
Middle states. And from this de-
velops the fact that the leaders in
great movements of today are COM
ing from the West. So next Fri
day evening the people who listen.
to the orators, will doubtless hear
better productions and hear orators
who have gained the honor to re-
present their respective states after
severe competition than if they were
listening a contest of similar char
acter in New York or Massachus-
etts.
The convention which occurs
Friday afternoon from 2:3o to $50
and Saturday morning from 500 to
1880 will be taken up by speeches
from the brainiest young men of the
coast whose names have been men
toned in previous articles.
No one can afford to miss the

That is What the Circus Made for
Corvallis.
A mass of men, women and chill
dren thronged the streets of Cor
wallis Saturday afternoon. All the
feed stables of the town were filled
and the adjacent streets were almost
blocked with wagons, carriages and
buggies. People came out of the
remotest parts of the Coast noun
tains and valleys, and it was really
a big day in Corvallis. All these
people came to see the Norris &
Rowe's tented shows. comprising a
great variety of entertainment
The parade formed at II O'Clock
and it was in no way disappointing.
At the afternoon performance there
was not standing capacity for the
and the show was well
patronized in the evening. Norris
& Rowe give a clean entertainment
and instructive show; and do what
they advertise. The elephant stood
on his head, the seals performed
some wonderful ri k, md the
ponies, monkeys, dogs and other
animals acquitted themselves to the
satisfaction of all.
