was irregular throughput The late strength was not held fand the closing was irregular after tsharp reaction. The speculation was valsTied and prices did not move fully in un ;son. London's influence was largely responsible for the early heavy tones, althpugh the pend ing action on the Uni-Rd States divi- dends and the question lof the showing to be made by the quagterly earnings statement were repressivie influences on the general list. The announcement that the directors would not assemble until 3 o'clock caused additional hazard in the trading. Another active center of speculation was Amalgalnated Copper,
 which was run up at one time over two points. The London market for raw
 copper continued to advance on large
 purchases and the official pricaAin the domestic market also rose sharply. The severity Of the weather was made an argument for advancing the prices of the coalers. A prominent feature of the days trading was the marking up of
 group O. smaller railroad stocks in which common interest is largely QOiullldlll. AtllGdSO anu AllOli, OOiUTd-
 do and Southern, Toledo. St. Louis and Western, Minneapolis and St. Louis, and Iowa Central were all included in the group. Rumors to explain the rise varied from a transcontinental railway
 project to embrace Union Pacific, Chi cago and Alton. Toledo, St. Louis and Western and Erie to a combination of the smaller roads into one property af- ter the manner of the Rock Island sys- tenn. No authoritative information could be had on any of the rumors. Rock Island was conspicuously weak on
 the large decrease in net earnings re- ported for November and helped to un- settle the closing market. United States
 Steel also weakened suddenly, carrying back the preferred with it for practical i ly all of it's earlier gain.

Many people either buy or max
Scotch short bread during the hoI

remembers the proportions as Il avs
"a quarter. a half, pouno By
which she means one-quarter of Il
pound Of granulated sr;-a". one-haf
pound Of butter and one pound of ST;

more sugar is required, at least FIVE
ounces. These ingredients must +"
thoroughly mixed and kneaded on 9
board like bread, then rolled out about
an inch thick, the edges crinkled o'

Curious Old English Law.

It is interesting to recall In connec'
ton with railway accidents that only
a few years back any instrument which
by accident was the immediate cause
of loss of human life became in Eng
lish law "deodand"--that is, became
forfeit to the crown, to be devoted to
pious purposes. This law applies to 10,
comotives, but in course Of time coro'
ners' juries. instead Of claiming the
forfeit, inflicted a fine. In the year
1888 locomotive OH the Liverpool and
Manchester line which by exploding
caused the death Of its engineer and
fireman was fined EGO, while the fol,
lowing year another engine on the
same line was fined FL ,400.

= AND I foHoRRow

some of the great questions which
We're discussed while he was in
Congress. The Recore shows that
he made bnt N speech, that one
being upon the dead issue, free
silver and in praise of the dis
credited leader William j. Bryan
both repudiated by the head of
the ticket on which Osborne is
now running.
One would think that Osborne
would have devoted his energies
toward the accomplishment of
some good for his state and for
his constituents. The Record
shows that he introduced twenty
three bills not one of which pass
ed while he was in Congress. Sew
eral of them We're Identical with
bills introduced in the Senate by
Senator Warren and Clark which
passed the House after they had
gone through the Senate; but the
Record discloses the fact that no
bill originally introduced by Os-
borne became a law through his
efforts.
1t has been urged in Osborne's
defence hat he was unable to ac-
complish anything for the benefit
OF his State and for his own credit
because he was a member of the
minority party. OF course that
was against him but it is we'll
known that if a representative be
longing to the minority will ccas-
ionally drop p~artisanship and
work theoretically and diplomat
ically for local interests he may
accomplish much good. The case
of furmor delegate Morton f. Post
is an instance. He was a Democ-
rat bul he was not narrow or pen
urlous OF incapable and he accom-
pliahed much for his constituents.
Opportunity usually comes to a
man but once. Twice it has come
to Johu L. Osborne and both times
he failed to size up,"twice he fail
ed to make good" twice he wa
little when he had a chance to be
big. Both falnres were to the
detriment of Wyoming and it is
asking too much of the voters of
the State, Democratic as we'll as
Republicans to give him another
chance at their expeuse.-Leader.

Her Party Affiliations.

A young lady called at the city
hall this morning to register, this
being her first election to vote.
After adjusting his necktie and
strengthening his hair Judge
Green asked her age, birthplace
ard what political party she afil-
lated with. She answered the first
questions all right but stuck at
the third. After some hesitation
and several bushes she said, "Do
l nave to answer that?" "1es, it
lis necessary to complete the re-
cord" said the Judge winking at
Forney.
"Well," she said ~deiantly, 81

ness, but it's en- its Mr.. McAnally

~INCENDIARY FIRE
Started in Cellar of Vacant Saloon Build
ing on Bridge Street No clew
&c Perpetrators.

Marshal Snyder discovered a
fire i'll the vacant saloon belonging
to the Sweetwater Brewing Co,
on Monday night about II o'clock
and as the flames had gained very
little Roadway it was soon extin-
guIshed.
Considerable difficulty vas Ak
perienced in locating the fire, the
interior of the building being full
of smoke but no flame visible.
Several holes we're cut in the roof
where smoke was coming out, but
the fire was finally discovered in
the cellar under the building,
where it was spreading from a
couple of boxes containing excel
sior. where it had been started, to
the floor and %joists.
The bbildiug is between L.
l.. Gould's cigar store and Mrs.
II. A. Dyer's millinery store. Ow-
ing to lhe number and proximity
of the frame buildings in that
block, had the fire gotten beyond
control the entire block wonld
have undoubtedly burned and pos
sibly the whole business section.
The back door of the building
was found open and from the nat
ure of the fire there is no question
that it was set by some tiend with
the intention of burning up the
town. No clew has been found as
to who did the act.
This is the second time the Wig
lance of Marshal Snyder has saved
the town from a general ~conhagra-
ton which in all probability would
have wiped Saratoga out oil exist
ence. In recognition of his ser
vices the town council have raised
his salary.

night is not known. On Monday
DIR. Price called at the hospital to
bid him good bye, and he found
he was gone. The doctor at once
notified the police and search was
made for the missing man without
avail. DR.. Price left for home
Tuesday, and received wold while
on the train that the body had
been found in a roomiug house
on Stout street. Later particulars
from the undertaken who had
charge of the body, were to the
effect that Lee had rented a room
at the rooming house of W. FL.
Cadwall, 1898 Stout street, a form
er resident of Saratoga, on Mon
day afternoon. Tuesday morning
when they went to attend to his
room, he was apparently sleeping
so he was not disturbed. Again
at 3 o'clock he was discovered in
the same position. 1t was then
found that he was dead and had
been dead since some time Monday
night.
AS & result of the use of lauda-
mum for his cough he became af-
hicted with melancholia, with sui
cidal tendency, and a large dose
of morphine caused his death.
The body was embalmed and
shipped to this place. Mrs. Lee
who had been notified of the con-
dition of affairs, arrived here Sat
urday morning with the children
the day he was taken to Denver.
Eli Lee was one of the most
universally respected citizens of
the vally respected citizens of the
valley, and his untimely death
came as a severe blow, not only to
his family, but to every one who
knew him. He was a man of gaeat
decision of character, upright in
every particular, kind and genial,
and generous to a fault. He will
be universally mourned, for the
people all feel that a noble soul
has passed ON. There is but one
sentiment expressed in the valley
and that is one of sympathy for
the dear little woman and father
less children.

THE GOOD NAME ASSASSINS
Of the Democratic Party Make ACCUSE
tions that are Without
Foundation.

"The true end of every great and
free people should be self respect
ing peace, and this nation most
earnestly desires sincere and cor
dial friendship with all others.
More and more the civilized
people are realizing the wicked
folly of war and are attaining that
condition Of just and intelligent
regard for the rights of others
which will in the end, as we hope
and believe, make worldwide
peace possible"
Who do people suppose said the
above? Does it read like Judge
Parker? No, for it is robust Eng
lish. 1t was none other than
Theodore Roosevelt, and it was
not a chance and sentimental ex-
preston. He included it in both
his messages to the Fifty-seventh
Congress. Again, when last year
at Waukesha, Wis, he said:
1--WE want friendship; We want
peace. We wish well to the ma
tions of mankind. We look with
Joy at any prosperity of theirs; we
wish them success, not failure
Then when we take other side
and seek to find in any expression
of the President a desire or fond
ness for war, we look in vain.
There is no such thing. 1t is as
though the leaders of the demo-
cratic party got together and went
to lookfor something which should
serve as a slogan for the campaign
and decided that in as much as
they had given up every principle
except tariff reform, and in as
much as to press that with any
force would defeat their party
the memory of 1S93-94 and '95 be-
ing still 50 distlnct-the only thing
left was to make the campaign out
of a general onslaught all along
the line of Roosevelt. The dan
.erous' idea started from those
wise bankers who look grave and
clip coupons in New York and in
other eastern cities.
Instead of being termed what
they really are, "grafters, such as
the Master drove out of the temp
le," they are put down as the "con-
servatiSe men who watch the ma
TONS financial interest" They
started the story, but there is not
a syllable that the President ever
pronounced to give justification
for it His recognition of Pana-
ma is cited. People should know
that the only way Mr.. Bryan, Tom
Patterson, Bourke Cochran or
even Judge Parker can make a
plausible story out of that is to
omit the most important facts.
Secretary Hay and the minister
from Colombia made a treaty by
which the United States was to
pay to Colombia Sl0,000,000 fo-
the strip of land and S750,0O0 per
anuum after the canal should be
completed. This was sent to the
United Stales senate and ratified.
Then it was sent to the Colombian
senate and contem ptuously re-
jected. In the meantime our state
department had made a condition
al a%greementto purchase the rights
of the French company that had
begun building the canal.

which John E. Osborne served,
offered golden opportunities to its
members. 1t embraced three
sessions covering sixty-seven
weeks time while the usual time
covered by a Congress is from
thirty to forty weeks.
The period embraced within its
deliberations witnessed the most
stirring scenes in the Nations his
tory since the close of the civil
war. Its legislation was upon
great topics and along great lines.
The Fifty-ffth Congress enacted
the Dingley Tariff act and the
National Bankruptcy act; it de-
clared war with Spain and enacted
laws to provide for war expenses,
it reorganlzed the army and con
tinued the work of building upon
the navy; it declared the independ-
ence of Cuba and enacted legislation
on various great matters growing
out of the war with Spain and the
complications which arose in the
Philippines; it annexed Hawaii to
the United States. and took etfec-
tive steps toward making our gov
eminent feared and respected the
world over.
And what part did John +. Os-
borne take in these glorious, stir
ring events?
He was equipped according to
the representation of his support
ers with a fine presence, ample
wealth, youth and ambition, and
great ability as an orator. Surely
the opportunity vas his to make
a record of which he and his con-
stituents might justly be proud.
But what does the official rec
ord of Osborne's part in the work
of the Fifty-ffth congress disclose?
Those who examine it will find
it a pitiful showing of absence,
silence ane inefficiepcy. They
will find that early in the first
and second sessions of the Con-
gress Osborne asked for and was
granted indefinite leaves of alb
sence to atten | to private business.
They will find that he is recorded
as absent" or mot voting" at
eleven of the thirty three roll calls
of the first session, sixteen of the
seventy-one roll calls of the sec
ond session ami nine of the thirty
two of the third session thus being
absent at t~hirty-six roll calls OF
Congress. They will find that in
one hundred roll calls in which he
participated his vote was invarab-
ly against progress and against
Legislation calculated to benefit
the country and his constituents.
His vote on every feature Of the
Dipgley Tariff was with the OPP
position to it and aginst that pro-
vision which provided for an in
crease in the duty on imports of
wool which of course passed re-
CARELESS of his and his party's op-
position.
One would think that Osborne
as an orator would have raised his
voice in thej debates upon
