of Baldwin, recently celebrated their
golden wedding. They located on
their homestead near Baldwin in 1857,

union man, passed through many ex-

raised and was elected captain of
company z, Sixteenth Kansas cavalry.
During Horace Greeley's famous Kan
sas tour in 1859 he spent one night
at the Cradit home. Mrs. Cradit
prizes very highly the old stand on

used. She would not part with these

Washington, Oct 90. Secretary
Hitchcock said during the day that the
investigation which he had been max
ing into land frauds on the Pacific
coast had been practically completed
and he hoped TO be able to present his
report on them to the department of
justice by the close of the present
week
"The report will not at present he
made public" he said, "as that would
defeat the ends of Justice"
He also refused to discuss the con
tents of the document. but confirmed
the generally current rumor that there
have been extensive efforts to defraud
the public. He said, however, that
bad as the condition is it had been
grossly exaggerated ut is absurd !"
he said, ito say that the frauds
amount to Sl5,000,000 or S1S,000,000
Or anything like that sum- A million
acres would be a large estimate of
fraudulently entered lands and the
government price for lands ranges
from $125 to $3.50 per acre"
The secretary also said that while
the investigation doubtless would in
yolve some of the officials of the gov
ernment he had not intimated that
members Of the United States senate
are involved in the scandal.

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator N. 3.
Scott of West Virginia is strongly op-
posed to the proposed economical pro-
gramme to be pursued by congress ac-
cording to Speaker Cannon and the
administration.

of the country that would suggest at
this time any curtailment in the neces-

Washington, Oct. 29.-On the au-

leaders of congress it is expected
there Will be no ship subsidy legislation
until after the presidential election.
The strong anti-subsidy faction among
Republicans is believed to be strong
enough by uniting with the Democrats
to prevent the passage of any bill such
as is desired by Senator Hanna and
his associates in the subsidy propo-
ganda.
The anti-subsidy Republicans and
the Democrats. in supporting their OPP
position TO the Hanna-Frye proposi-
ton, point out that the United States
form now only the second nation in
the world so far as merchant marine
Is concerned and this has beeen ac-
