derstood that the President pointed
out to the Postmaster General the
necessity of getting rid of his ''con-
fdential Clerk Il. H. Rand, who
has been intimately associated with
Machen and most of his pals.
The President has determined to
make an Investigation into the methods
and transactions of the Government
Printing Office with view to ascer-
tanning why the expense of printing
and binding in that institution ex-
ceeds, by from 50 to $50 per cent, the
cost of the same work in private in
stitutions. 1t is intimated in some
quarters that such an investigation
will reveal grave scandals, but every
officer of the administration who has
to do With the Government Printing
Office welcomes the prospect of re-
form of it's methods, even should nc
corruption be discovered. This in
vestigation grows out of the case OF
William Miller who was expelled by
the bookbinders' union and whom
Public Printer Palmer discharged on
that account. Miller has been re.

GREAT NORTHERN AND NORTH.

RETURNED TO OWNERS.
STATEMENT CURRENT IN new YORK
OFFICIALS OF SECURITIES COM.
PANY REFUSE TO CONFIRM
OR DENY THE RUMOR.

New York, June 15.--It is stated by
the New York American that the
Northern Securities company will be
voluntarily dissolved aud that the
stocks of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific Railroad companies
will be distributed among the share
holders. In this manner the prop
critics mentioned will be returned to
their former owners.
That preparations are being made
for the dissolution of the Securities
company is declared by the American
to have been learned on the highest
authority, but officials OF the company
refuse either to confirm or deny the
statement. It is said, however, that
the appeal now pending in the United
States supreme court will be carried
to its conclusion SO as to establish
the legal status Of such companies b
the court Of last resort.
1t is further stated that part of /, :
booty sought by the Rockefeilers i
their terrific bear campaign, just {. :
ed, was stock in the Northern SecU- i
ties company. This stock was wanted
because of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern stock to be secured for
it in exchange when the reconstruc-
ton takes place.
The Northern Securities company
was incorporated in 1901, with a cap
ital of $40O,000,000. Its formation
was the outcome of struggle for con-
troll of the Northern Pacific, which
precipitated the stock market panic
of May 9, 1901.

F.ttenin< Cattle For Market.

The Iowa station has recently re.
ported experiments made in co-opera-
ton with a large cattle feeder on large
lots eleven lots of twenty animals
each) Of fair quality three-year-olG
western cattle, in which 90 cents per
bushel was realized for the corn con.
sumed in case Of the lot with which
this was the sole food used, and "all
the lots paid much higher prices for
corn than could have been received for
the same at any Of the markets dur
ing the feeding period" The expert
ments as a whole show very striking
~ the high value Of corn and it's by
products, gluten meal and feed, for
fattening cattle for the market. The
average net profit per steer from nine
ty-four days feeding was on corn alone
$40; corn and grass. $14.97; corn
and dried blood, $15.38: corn and glu-
ten feed, $17.60, and corn and gluten
meal, $1799. It would appear that
with corn at from 30 to 90 cents per
bushel and fat steers bringing from
81 to $7.65 per hundredweight there
Is no more profitable use to be made
Of corn than to convert it into beef.

tome Letters That Men Can Never
Learn to Make.
"Why IS it that with some men some
letters CT the alphabet are harder ia
make than others and, in fact, that
there are some letters that some men
never learned how to maker" asked
young man who takes considerable ia
terest in the matter Of handwriting in
the New Orleans Times-Democrat. 1T
b a rather singular fact that nearly
every man outside Of the experts is
weak on one or more Of the letters in
the EngliRh alphabet. Sometimes the
letter involved is capital letter; some
times It is of the smaller kind; some
times it is one letter and sometimes
another. In any event, you will find
few men who are exempt from the fail
ing referred to.
81 know Of one man who in spite of
the fact that he does a great deal of
writing has never learned how to make
a capital P. He simply makes stag
ger at it, and, as a rule, the result Of
his efforts will look more like a small
tldu lihc Tic COpltdl hiiU"
ether man who can't make small f
to save his life. He can never get the
lower part of the letter below the line
He makes it look like a clubfooted b
instead of an f. There are others who
when they try to make the small D.
give it the long shank. and it looks
more like tie letter f. It is rather sin
gular that these traits should hang On
10 a mans writing for I lifetiln" but
they Go it just the same. and il You
make few inquiries among your
friends and acQuaintanceS you will find
that but few of them are exempt from
this fault.
''It is very much like the habit Of
spelling certain words incorrectly,
Many men who are rated as first class
spoilers pass through life without ever
IN single instance spelling certain
words correctly. 1t is due to habit
largely. If ou should ask them how
to spell thu :yord. they would tell you.
but. when they go to write it, that is
quite different. and they will get it
wrong every time. So they know. too.
how certain letters should be made. but
they simply can't put them down on
paper. 1t is a curious but common
fault"
