Wild Rumors Of War.

London, Jan. 13,-The st. Peters

longer be averted. This is significant
in that until the last day or two every
thing in st. Petersburg has pointed to-

Good Winter for Farmers.

Salem-Captain Hunt, prominent

Been Observed.

New York, Nov. s.-Before an atr~

Kings County Democratic club. judy
Parker replied to President Roosevelts
denial Of trusts contributing to Re-
publican campaign fund. The fudge
said the chief executive had failed to
deny the charge: had made pretense or
a refutation by alleging that the DEM

tracted great sums OF money from cafs-
italistic combinations. When he ae-
cepted the nomination. the nominee
said, lie called his managers into con-
ference and asked them to accept no
contributions from any trust. And
he continued, u am advised by there
gentlemen that my wishes In this mai
ter have been scrupulously followed
out" The audience loudly cheered this
statement. Judge Parker declared that

trusts his first and most vital concern.
He reiterated the statement that in the

OF trust secrets. must have turned this
knowledge to good use I'm his capacity
as chairman. He had covered much

that Parker was right" and while 1t
may have been to late at that time
to have returned to the trusts their
gifts OF bribery, still he could have de-
