PARENTS CHAIN DAUGHTER
Father and Mother Brought Into Court
Because Of Strenuous Effort
to Subdue Child.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Eveland, Of
Doylestown, Pa. were arraigned before
a justice of the peace recently on the
charge Of cruelty maltreating their
eight-year-old daughter, Mary, by chain
ing her fast to a 20-pound piece Of rail-
road iron, upon a warrant sworn out by
a special officer of the Pennsylvania So
ciety to Protect Children from Cruelty.
The parents admitted claiming the
child, but said It was necessary to keep
her from running away. When the
father was at work the little girl would
take advantage Of her mother being en-
gagged with five other children and her
household duties and go down to the
railroad and jump on freight trains and
get into other mischief.
At the conclusion of the testimony the
Justice said that the parents had received
a lesson, and that the infection Of a fine
upon the father, who was poor and un-
able to pay and necessarily would have
to go to prison, would simply be impos-
Ing hardship upon the entire family.
The defendants were thereupon dis
charged, but the Squire" kept the chain
and iron to prevent its further use.

OUR GROWING TRADE
COMMERCE WITH NoNcoNTIG-
UoUs TERRITORY.
Figures for First Nine Months Of Pres
emit Fiscal Year Show Increase
of About 90, 900, ooo-Rela-
tons with Philippines.

Commerce between the United States
and its non-contiguous territory shows
a slight increase in the present year as
compared with last year. For the full
fiscal year It seems likely to aggregate
500, 0OO. 900. For the nine months end
ing with March, 1904, the total mer-
chandise is s66, 781 ,21S and of domestic
gold received from Alaska, $685. sol,
making the total $72 ,5s7, 71S. The total
of merchandise, s66,7S1. 21S. exceeds by
100000 that for the corresponding
period of last year. in which the total
was $64,S43, OS5. OF this grand total OF
commerce with the non-contiguous ter
ritory of the United States shipments
thereto aggregate $25.SO6,621 and
shipments from those territories to the
United States aggregate $40.974.5s7.
The total value of merchandise re-
ceived from the non-contiguous terri
tory in the nine months ending with
Marca 1904, was $40,974,5 97, and in
the corresponding period Of last year
$40, 287, 24O. The value of the domestic
gold received from Alaska in the nine
months ending with March, 1904, was
81, SO6,501.
To the Philippines the shipments In
the nine months ending with March,
1904, were 81, 651. $40, against 81, 1908, 692
for the corresponding months Of last
year, and the merchandise received
from the islandsswas valued at 50 $685.
1873 in the nine months ending with
March, 1904, was, .9I4,597. and in
the corresponding period of last year,
In the case Of the Philippines the
commerce rs at present much more
largely with countries other than the
United States than is the case with any
other of the non-contiguous territories
of the United States. This is due in
part to the custom which has long pre-
vailed in those islands of purchasing
from Spain and other European coun-
tries and from Hongkong and China,
whose proximity gives to their trade
a marked advantage over that Of dis
tant countries, while the presence Of a
considerable Chinese population &C
counts in part for the large imports
from China Another cause Of the
moro rapid growth in the trade rela-
lions of the United States with the
other non-contiguous territories than
in that with the Philippines is doubt
less found in the fact that in all other
cases no custom duties are collected on
merchandise coming into the United
States from those territories or into
those territories from the United
States. while in the case of the Phil
ippines a reduction Of only 25 per cent
has been made in the rates Of duty
on merchandise from these islands en-
tering the United States. and no re-
duction on merchandise from the
United States entering those Islands
as the treaty with Spain provides that
merchandise from that country shall
be admitted to the Philippines on the
same terms as that from the United
States during a period Of ten years
from the interchange of ratiflcations of
that treaty, term which does not ex-
pire until April, 1909

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
First Three Degrees Conferred on Po-
cafelln Candidates.


On Sunday last, the 18th inst, the
first three, degrees were conferred upon
a class of over forty candidates at
Pocatello, Ida.
The first two degrees were in charge
of the Pocatello council and the third
was conferred by the territorial depu-
uty supreme knight and his staff.
The degree work was followed by a
large banquet at McNichols & Wright
hall, to which about one hundred and
fifty knights sat down, including visi-
tors from Salt Lake, Ogden, Montpelier,
Idaho Falls and Glenn's Ferry. A thor
oughly good time was had and the
Pocatello brothers again proved their
we'll known reputation for hospitality.
John F. Fredell, grand knight of Po-
catello council, acted as POSTMASTER
and responses were made by Rev. G.
Van der Donckt, chaplain. of POcatello
council; Judge W. L. Maginnis of Og-
den, Rev. j. Nolan of Montpelier, Ed

z. McGurrin, Robert Canning and
George Jay Gibson, of Salt Lake, and
DR.. H. A. Castle and Judge Knowles

The visitors left for their respective
homes on the night train, after voting
this one of the most successful events
in the history of the order in Utah

now close rivals for first place in point
of numbers in the two states, each

Business Reduced to Science.

That is our motto. In reducing 1T 10
practice we have adopted conservative
principles which are a safe and sure
guarantee to our clients that their prin
ciple and interest are always paid at
maturity. We study the interests of
the man who borrows equally as we do
that of the investor in all our trans
actions by never loaning more than 80
per cent of the assessed value to the
borrower, who must insure in favor of
the investor all Improvements. The
borrower has also the privilege or
making deposits which lessons his in
terest and serve as a fund to pay prin-
ciple in the end, whilst each payment
increases the security of the investor.
This legitimate system has secured for
US the confidence Of all our clients.
who are more satisfied with reasonable
interest, with the best possible security,
than they would be with exorbitant
interest and doubtful security. All our
clients appreciate this safety. Hence
the great increase in our volume Of
business. Write or call on US if you
need further explanation.
