FINDS A NEW CIPHER
St. Louis Man Discovers Further
Proof That Bacon Wrote Shaks-
pere's Plays.

st. Louis, Aug. 10.-Dr. w. Hutson Ford
of st. Louis, well-known scholar, has
just completed book shortly to be pub
lished, which will set forth with fervid
argument, reinforced by numerous cita-
tons, and cipher solutions, the proofs that
SHAKESPEARE never wrote q line Of the plays
and sonnets published under his name,
but that Sir Francis Bacon wrote them all.
The ST. Louis author has worked out
and will publish a large number Of ana
grams from the text of the Shaksperean
plays and from the PREDATORY odes By Ben
Johnson and others in the 1923 folio edi-
ton. which he declares are the cipher
writings of Bacon. In them Is reiterated
Bacon's claims to the authorship and his
urgent appeal to the decipherer to work
out all the cipher and let the world know
that Bacon and not Shakspere5 was the
great dramatic poet.
According to the solutions transla-
lions Of the anagrams. as made by DR..
Ford, Francis Bacon claimed to be the
son Of Queen Elizabeth and the rightful
heir ia the throne. The cipher readings,
binary personal and state secrets; but,
perhaps, most remarkable Of all is this
investigators reading of the. queer Course
inscription Shakspere's gravestone,
which, he says, coupled with cipher writ
ing in the text of the plays shows that the
body of Shakespeare was exhumed at night
by Bacon, Ben Johnson and Michael Dray-
| ton and thrown into the Thames and that
In its place Bacon deposited indisputable
proofs Of his authorship of the great plays.

OFFICERS HAVE TWO.
Henry Stadtz and an Indian Charged
at Helena With Dynamiting
N. P. Bridges.
Fuse Caps, Wire and String Found
in Bundles Which They Were
Carrying.
snaoial to The Journal.

Special TO Inc journal.
Helena, Mont, Aug. 10.-There are two
men locked up in the city Jail who are
suspected of being connected with the re-
cent dynamite outrages on the Northern
Pacific when two attempts were made to
wreck trains, one near Livingston, where
great damage was done to the bridge,
while the other, with less serious results,
was attempted near Bozeman, only a
night or two later .-.-. ..-,.
The governor has offered reward of
81 900 for the arrest and conviction of the
perpetrators, while the railroad company
has added $4,000 to that amount making
81, 600 in rewards.
The police refused to talk about the ar
rests, but the facts have leaked out. one
man was arrested Wednesday evening.
His name is Henry Stadtz, and he was
taken in by sergeant who found him try
Ing to dispose of a Winchester rifle.
When taken to the station Stadtz said
the rifle had been given him to sell by an
Indian who was down at the Northern "a
cific station. The Indian, who gave his
name as James Jarves was brought to the
police station and said the rifle was among
other things found at the Northern Pa
cific station Two bundles found also
there contained some clothing which the
Indian admitted was his, while In the
other bundle, picked up near the clothing,
was dynamite fuse, caps, wire and
strings and other paraphernalia used in
exploding dynamite.
Search of the clothing claimed by Javes
revealed in one of the pockets some dyna-
mite caps and string which matched that
found in the other bundle. Javes, 1t is
alleged. was unable to account for the
dynamite cartridges and said some one
had put them in his pockets.
From what can be learned, Javes was
at Livingston just after the wrecking Of
the bridge, and was also at BoZemar
about the time Of the outrage there. Fol
several days there have been Northern
Pacific detectives in Helena, and the cap
ture ish regarded as important.

Winnipeg. Man., Aug. 10.-J. T. Gordon,
M. P. p, Of Gordon, Ironside & Fares, cat
tie dealers, Is home from the west, and
says
II found the crops along the main line
in Manitoba better than expected, while
in Assiniboia the crops are good, and
there are good many first-class crops in
Alberta, but think the Alberta crops are
one month later than those in Manitoba,
and unless they get very favorable wealth
er, it is a question whether they will ripen
or not. In Assiniboia the crops are much
further advanced than In Alberta, In my
opinion.
II found the cattle looking extremely
WE'LL but should consider them one month
later than In 1902. I also noticed great
increase in many of the herds in Alberta.
Many small ranchers have gone into the
business in the last three years. Outside
the increase from breeding on the ranches
this year, $4,000 head of stockers have
gone into Assiniboia and Alberta from
eastern Canada, Manitoba, old Mexico and
Texas.
1.-The Canadian Pacific railway has not
kept pace with the growing requirements
of the stock trade, and If this sort of
thing continues it will be very serious.
Cattle trains should make twenty-three to
twenty-five miles an hour If there is not
q iAioAo oc1IioldCIOIy udIlullIlS Oh STOCK III
this respect, the trade will have to take
matters into their own hands and send
stock by southern route. We do not
propose to make any change until we are
satisfied that the railway corporation will
not handle our stock satisfactorily. This
is growing industry and deserves the
very best conditions the railway corpora
ton can give 1T. Ranchers are alive to the
situation, for 1t means a great detriment
to their trade as whole If stock Is not
handled properly.
Last year we drove 1900 head Of cattle
south from High River and Claresholm tc
Cutbanks, in Montana, and shipped over
