The showing made by the Water Registers
Bureau under Joseph W. Savage is gratifying 70
Water Commissioner Oakley. This recsipts of
the Office bid fair to exceed those OF any pro-
ceding year. In preliminary report made yss-

1904 were S4 e55, ,739 93. and for the same period
of 1905 were S5.O30.627 S5. showing an increase
Of S74. .8S7 o.
For the year 1908 the cost OF this bureau
amounted to S1S69 962 So. while for the year end
ed December 81, 1904. the cost was but s121.-
6T5 4S: so that while this bureau shows an In
crease in receipts OF SS9.2 80 FOR 1904 over

PRESIDENT KILLS THREE BEARS
Executives Hunting Trip Has Been

Glenwood Springs, Colo, April 90
President Roosevelt's hunting trip has

two Monday, one by the president and.
one by DIR. Lambert. P. B. Stewart Of

brought down two Of them, but the
details. are lacking.
The party Is almost snowbound in
its present location and no. attempt
will be made to cross the divide.
Fifteen feet of snow is on the ground
on the other side and any effort to
reach Redstone would. be futile. The
hunters are satisfied, however. for
they have reached the center of what
the guides say Is the best bear coun-
try in Colorado. Bobcats, are thick in
the country now being hunted, so
plentiful in fact chat many are al
lowed to escape without shot being
fred in their direction. Several fine
skins have been taken, however. The
bear killed by the, president was Of
the brown variety, not so heavy. bat
furnishing much finer pelt than the
one killed last week. One of the bears
killed is said to be grizzly.
1t was within an area of seven
miles that all FIVE of the bears were
killed. This spot was about sixteen
or eighteen miles from camp. and
every animal gave the dogs and hunt
ers long chase. All of them freed,
which forced the hunters to kill them
without further accident to the dogs.
Thus far only one dog has been killed!
It was killedsby the first bear shot.

university, was indicted here on a
charge of fraudulent banking. He
gave an appearance bond of $1,000.
The action of the grand jury is the re-

stein bank, of which E. H. McCutch-
con, his father, was the head. The
failure followed soon after the death
of the elder McCutcheon. The state
organization of the Modern Woodmen

An exact statement of the losses in

ualties were greatly over-stated in
earlier reports. Statements from jap
anese sources, indicating wholesale
captures of prisoners. enormous booty
and cannon, are now denied. In real
ity it appears the Russian losses
amounted to two generals. who were
taken prisoners. and S7.777 men, of
whom the greatest part, about $4,000.
were wounded. In evacuating Muk-
den and retrecting to the northward
the Russians lost thirty-two guns.

G. Bigelow, president of the bank. OF
over $1.0O0.O0O, is . thing Of the past,
and banking affairs insMilwaukee have
resumed their normal condition.
While the two banks affected are
entirely separate institutions, the fact
that they occupy adjoining buildings
and that some Of the First Nationals
officers direct the affairs of the Mil
waukee Trust company, caused many
of the depositors to believe that one
was part of the other.
Before the hour for opening the
banks had arrived . meeting OF the
Milwaukee Clearing House sssocia-
ton was held and committee Of that
institution. after examining the as
sets and collateral of the First Ma
tional. issued reassuring report.
On top of this came word from the
board of directors of the Milwaukee
chamber of commerce announcing its
decision not to withdraw its current
expense fund from the First National.
All Of these statements had reas.
surfing effect on deposftors as to the
stability of the bank.
The banks affected were we'll able
to cope with long run, but it was
decided by all the banks in the city
to take advantage of the law on time

days of withdrawal on amounts less
