Both the President and Mrs. Roosevelt
have undergone the novel experience OF
being forbidden from entering the White
House grounds, IN addition 10 this they
have been made acquainted with the fact
that there was al least one policeman IN
the locality who had not the honor OF
knowing them.
As it is seldom that the President can
even so much as put his head out oil
doors. that some enc does not see ana
recognize him. his latest experience was
quite a refreshing change from the ordi-
nary It occurred early in the evening a
few days ago, when the PresldeIs was

Jackson's fight against tho Second United

CONFUSION. The panic of 1857, starting
with the suspension of the Ohio Life and
Trust Company on August "a. was the in
evitable consequence of the overexpanslon
which followed the discovery of gold in
California and Australia. The banks over

companies organized to build railroads. of
which there had been an extraordinary de-
felopment since 1899. when the first rail-

1880 the first railroad stock was listed with
the stock exchange. and thereafter railroad
stocks. rapidly superseding the bank stocks,

The panic of 1873 was the result Of green
back imitation. caused by the war and the
promotion of the first transcontinental
railroad lines. 1t was the failure Of Jay
Cooke. the great promoter Of the Northern
Pacific. that set the ball Of panic rolling.
The panic of 1884. which included the sad

warrant was issued by Judge Thom-
as, in the United States circuit
court, Brooklyn, today for the ar
rest of George w. Beavers on an in
dictment found by the Federal
Grand jury, which charges him
with accepting bribe Of $40 It
is understood that, payments to
Beavers were traced back to the
purchase by the government of the
Brandt-Dent Cash Registering Co.
The postofice inspectors found that
Beavers had large account in the
Nassau Trust Company, BROOKLYN,
and are said to have discovered that
checks deposited there had been
given by ex-Congressman briggs.
The warrant has not yet been
served, and it was rumored that

Washington, July 1S.-It devel-
oped today that the total number of
machines supplied to the postoffice
by the Brandt-Dent Automatic ma
chine Company, of Watertown,
Wis, was 572. The inspectors have
evidence of this, although the pres
ent action of the grand jury in
Brooklyn, indicting George w.
Beavers, is based on the contract
under which $50 of the machines
were supplied. T he information in
the possession of the government
ia that Of the amount paid by the
government for each machine the
contracting company received $50,
while 500 went, for commission, Of
which amount the agent Of the
company received $50 The cash
registers were sold openly in the
market throughout the country for
$125, while the government paid
$50 each.
There was a slight difference in
the construction, of the machines
sold in the open market from those
sold to the government, but the in
spectors say this change was trivial
and the cost Insignificant. The
supply of the machines dates back
to the latter part of 1897, when the
first machines were furnished the
department for trial.
The contract for ESQ machines at
$3.50 was entered into May 5, 1898.

One of the most horrible accidents

Mrs. Asa Sturgess and husband
were riding upon a load of hay,
when a portion of the load slipped
of, precipitating Mrs. Sturgess. A
three-tined pitchfork- fell from the
load at the came time, tines up
ward, and upon this Mrs. Sturgess
fell, all three tines piercing her
body. the middle one her heart
killing her instantly.
The terrible occurrence has
thrown pail over the neighbor-
hood. The deceased is daughter
of Hon. Isaac Dietderich, pioneer
farmer and business man of this
county, and leaves many relatives
and friends to mourn her untimely
departure. A sad feature of her
sudden taking away is that four
children, all young, is left to mourn
with their father the loss of moth.
