Yesterday.
A small blaze at the Scarborough
residence on Church street at o. CLOCK
yesterday morning did very little dam
age, amounting to the replacing of a
few charred shingles, so far as injury
to the roof was concerned. This was
the twenty second alarm to which the
department has responded since Janu-
ary LIST, and SO efficient the service
rendered that the total fire loss in
Americus for the year does not exceed
hundred~dollars. What Georgia city
large or small, can show such 9. record.

when we first came to Delaware Co.
| have seen deer skipping across the
road in front of me while on my way
to school more than once and one
was killed where our garden now
grows. Wild turkeys were plentiful
too. One day | heard a connection
among our tame turkeys and in
looking out | saw flock of wild
ones in pitched battle with the
tame ones in the midst of my flower
beds not stopping because they
were touch-me-nots. The men folks
shot one large fellow and the rest
took to the woods. Quails were so
plenty we could have them on toast
for breakfast, dinner and supper if
we chose. We often trapped as
high as thirty or forty in single
day. Prairie chickens were so
numerous, we trapped them in
quantities and cooked them by the
hundred, and dried the breasts of
them to use as we do dried beef.
Nuts were also so plentiful that
enough could be gathered in short
time to supply any size family.
There was an old Scotch couple
living in our house when we came
or in part Of it (for it was double
log house having two rooms in it)
by the name of Ross. They had
gathered quantity Of nuts, having
three or four bushels of hazelnuts
after they were shelled. They were
very fond Of children and not having
any of their own | was invited to
help myself to their share of nuts.
| spent most of my time with the
old people as long as they stayed
with us for they were so kind and
good entertainers. and their funny
Scotch talk amused me so much. |
was with them one day when father
was gone to Indiana after his apple
trees and the old lady said to me,
Nov lassie We must be guide and
mind yer aged Alither when yer
Either is wah"
The country people thought more
about going to meeting on the Sab
bath than they do now. Everyone
went whenever there was preaching
at any old log school house far and
near. The men went too, both old
and young. If there had been ball
play on Sunday then, do not think
one young man in fifty would have
gone and not one of the girls would
have done such thing. 1t is chang
ed now | am sorry to say but l hope
to see change in the other direc-
ton some sweet day by and by.

PAY FOR CANAL.
Secretary Shaw Will Issue Call
on the Banks.
Must Turn in $3S,OOO,OOO of
Their Holdings.

Washington, March 3.-The secretary
of the treasury today will call on the
depository banks Of New York city to
deposit twenty per cent. of their gov
ernment holdings in the sub-treasury,
the money to be turned over today to
j. P. Morgan & Co. as the financial
representative of the republic of Pana-
ma, on account of the Panama canal
purchase. This 20 per cent. will aggre-
gate about $8,O00,000, and the remaining
$4,000, 900 will be taken from the sub
treasury The secretary also will call
on all the special depository banks to
forward to designated depository banks
in New York 20 per cent. of their hold
ings on or before March 20. This will
result in deposit altogether of about
$30,0O0,000. The remaining $4,000, 600
will be supplied by the treasury itself
Upon further consideration of the ex-
act terms of the treaty with the re-
public of Panama it has been deter
mined by the government to make the
payment of s10,O0O,O 900 to that country
and the payment of s40,0O0,000 to the
Panama Canal company in Paris at the
same time. Therefore Secretary Shaw
has modified his call requiring the out
side banks as well as the banks of New
York city to make returns of their 20
per cent any time before March 25.

MR.. BOLMAR EXCITED.
Calls Attention to Bad Water Furnish
ed in Potwin.

c. P. Bolmar, who lives in Potwin
where the water furnished by the To-
pe<a Water company is particularly
dirty of late, went to the mayors office
in the city building this morning. He
had two samples of water that he
wanted to show to Mayor Bergundthal.
Charles F. Street, president of the wa
ter company, was at the mayors office
also, and the mayor introduced the two
men. Mr.. Bolmar had gone to the city
building to make q kick about the con-
dition of his water service and he pro-
ceeded to make it to Mr.. Street, in per-
son.
In concluding his remarks Mr.. Boil
mar produced a sample of water which
he had drawn out of a faucet in his
kitchen. 1t was of a shadowy pearl
gray color. Mr.. Bolmar turned the bot
tie upside down and 8 cloud of sedi-
ment f1oated to the opposite end of the
bottle from the bottom where it had
settled. After exhibiting it he reached
in his other pocket and produced from
it a pint jar. The water in it had been
taken yesterday morning. 1t was of a
yellowish green aspect. When it was
inverted the sediment settled in large
chunks.
This said he, ''is the sort of wa
ter you have been furnishing us at in
tervals ever since the flood, and do you
know what I think?''

mittee was not ready to report ana the
McGrew-Allen crowd adjourned SO as
to compel the Bowersock convention 10
take the initiative
The BoWerSOck people were tled UP
over seating the Wyandotte delegation.
By seating the Bowersock delegates in
Johnson, Miami and Anderson coun-
ties Bowersock would have had 61
votes, only two more than a majority.
There were rumorS that some of the
Linn and Allen delegates would not
stand by BoWerSock, which would de-
prive him of enough to nominate. TO
provide against that it was decided to
seat the Barnes delegation from Wyan-
dotte, which would vote for Bowersock,
but this stirred up such d confusion
this morning that the Bowersock lead
ers held the plan up. The McGrew
delegation said if the Barnes delega-
would be overwhelmingly against Bow
erSOck in the election.
BLOCKED BY BARKER.
Another attempt to get together was
made by the candidates at 10 o'clock
this morning. A conference was held
between the three candidates and
Stubbs and Barker. Allen proposed that
the settlement of the contests be left
to the justices of the supreme court,
unofficially on the evidence and that
the convention adjourn until they rem
dered their decision ,and that the roll
they make up shall be accepted.
Barker objected on the ground that
the judges would not act
Allen then proposed that each can
didate select district Judge outside
the Second district and those three
should select two more to pass on the
contests. Barker thought this would
not work either.
Stubbs then suggested that it be left
to Chief Justice Johnston. Allen and
MeGrew Immediately agreed. Allen
suggested that the three candidates call
Johnson up by telephone and appeal to
him to settle the contests as a party
duty. Barker and Bowersock withdrew
to talk it over, and Barker shortly re-
ported that his side would not consent
to it.

Mr.. Grass Platform In Race for
State Treasurer.
Pledges Himself to Support
State Interest Law.
DEFEATED IN SENATE.
Measures Which Mr.. Kelly Sue
ceeded in Killing.
Makes a Plain, Straightforward
Manly Statement.

H. w. Grass, of Lacrosse, candidate
for the Republican nomination for
state treasurer, has issued a formal
statement of his platform upon which
he asks the Republicans of Kansas to
nominate him.
Mr.. Grass statement is unique be-
cause it skaters the traditions of the
treasurer's Office and its application
would put an end to the graft in con-
nection with the Office which has long
been a disgrace to the state.
The measures which Mr.. Grass prom
ises to champion are those which were
passed in the house last year and
which were defeated in the senate
through the influence of T. T. Kelly
and his champion, F. Dumont Smith.
Mr.. Grass announcement is as fol-
lows:
IF I am nominated for state treas
urer by the coming Republican con-
vention and elected, 1 pledge myself, as
follows:
"First-To do all in my power to Sc
cure the passage of a law to place the
monies of the state in such banks of
the state as will give absolute security
for same and pay the highest rate of
interest on balances, the interest to go
to the state.
"Second-If such law can not be
passed, I pledge myself to use my in
f1uence to see that the state receives
interest on balances kept in banks un-
der the present law.
Third pledge myself to use every
effort to have a law passed, leaving the
states money with the various county
treasurers until it is actually needed
in the state treasury
FOURTH pledge myself to use every
endeavor to have a law passed that
will give the auditors office a COM
plete check upon the treasurer's office,
just as the county clerks office now is
a complete check on the county treas
urer's office.
Respectfully,
III. w. GRASS"
