Work on 100000 dress coats contract
ed for through the Schuylkill arsenal in
Philadelphia, has been stopped by a per-
emptory order Of Quartermaster General
Humphreys in Washington and thor
ough investigation of the affairs at the
arsenal has been begun. Because of the
condition under which contracts are given
out at the arsenal nearly half of the
dress coats in question have been manu-
featured and paid for They lie idle in
the storehouse at the depot and in the
opinion of experts Of the government who
have examined them are absolutely
worthless for the purpose for which they
were made. A contract for about 100000
pairs of dress trousers is in the hands of
the manufacturers. Stoppage on this
work also is expected. 1t is believed
that the investigation which has been
started will show that the government
has lost millions Of dollars by the meth
DDS in vogue there. The contracts in
question are held by three firms which
have factories in Philadelphia and III Red
Bank, n. j., and Egg Harbor, N. J. IS
yet there are no charges of fraud in
connection with the investigation. The
colossal losses are attributed to loose
ways of doing business. The investiga-
ton is the outcome of the trouble with
the arsenal employees dating back to last
winter and of the more recent scandal
when the foreman of the arsenal was
forced to resign and eight cutters were
dismissed

MAKES DIVORCES INVALID.
Odd Political ENHANCEMENT Existing |
in Denver, Col,

Odd Political ENHANCEMENT Existing
in Denver, Col.
More than 100 couples whose divorce
DEGREES were granted during the last II
months by Judge Henry V. Johnson of
Denver, Colo, acting as county judge,
are wondering whether the Law s wide
blanket of public policy will covar their
cases, since the Colorado Supreme Court
has declared that Judge johnson and
nearly all the other Democratic officers
had no right to their positions and are
ousted.
BY the Rush amendment to the Denver
city charter nearly all the county officers
were elected at the same time as the
city officials, but the Supreme Court has
decided the Rush amendment invalid.
Some of the divorced persons have since
remarked, and i'll three instances at least
children have been born since the DEGREES
OF divorce were entered. The parents
are told by lawyers that the stigma of
lllegitimacy may be upon their children.
Aside from the divorce phase there are
many other complications, and chaos has
resulted in legal affairs. The Democrat
&c officials who We're elected under the
Rush amendment have drawn their sal
aries. and there is no money to pay the
salaries of the Republicans who are Civ
en- offices by the Supreme Court, vet the
Republlcans are clearly entitled to paw.
The decision is admitted to be the most
important ever delivered in Colorado.

tain of the Kurile Islands. A sentimental
demand that it again become part of
their national territory has always been
strong among the japanese, though its
value, except for the fisheries, is small.
When the peace negotiations begin
Russia will be much better able to ex-
plain the cession to her own people if the
japanese are already in possession than
if she is asked to give it up by voluntary
act At the same time she will be able
to let it weigh in the balance as part of
the japanese spoils in her effort to in
duce the japanese to reduce the amount
of the indemnity they ask.

WANTED TO SLEEP,

Curious that a Tired Preacher Should

A minister speaks Of the curious eff
feet of Grape-Nuts food on him and
how it has relieved him.
"You will doubtless understand how
the suffering with indigestion with

perienced poignant physical distress
after meals, and my food never salts

Births in New York City at the rate of
one every five minutes are recorded by
the health department for the last week.
during which period 2.011 were reported.
1t was announced al the department that
the birth rate at New York had now risen
to about 81 per 1000, and is higher than
any other city in the United States.
Five or six years ago, when there was
so much talk about race suicide, the
birth rate was only 90 per 1000. Last
year the rate vas 80 per 1000. The pros
pect is now that in 1906 it will be 80.

Moreover, the court decides it has
the right to go behind the motive Of
the Legislature and that the esta blish-
ment of a branch penitentiary at
which oil is to be refined by convicts
Is clearly subterfuge.
Attention is called to Gov. Hoch's
message signing the bill providing for
the refinery, in which the refinery
is referred to exclusively as such, and
no reference is made to esta blishing
penitentiary.
Gov. Hoch, advised of the decision,
expressed disappointment. The Gov
ernor would make no statement as to
calling a special session to take steps
carrying the project through in some
other way.
The decision took the form Of re-
fusing to order State Treasurer Kelley
and Penitentiary Warden Jewett to
sign the proposed issue of bonds for
$4,000.
Kansas is sorry that it ever spoke so
harshIy about Standard Oil, a CORE
spondent declares, and it is said that if
Mr.. Rockefeller would intimate a desire
to kiss and make up that State refinery
would not be built. A year ago the best
grade of Kansas Oil brought S1.35 bar
rel. Now it costs 81 cents and is going
lower. A year ago fuel oil was easily
disposed of at So cents barrel. Now
it is pretty much of a drug at II cents.
Low grade oils are down to 81 cents,
about 70 cents below the price of a year
ago. The prospects are that the price
will drop still further. With prices drop
ping steadily the business of drilling new
wells has almost stopped. The promoters
have folded up their tents and left.
Kansas oil is being Disseminated
against by the Standard, whose favors
arr now bestowed on the Indian Terri
tory. The weekly average run out of
this district has been tank for each
Of the properties, but the Standards
gaugers have developed sudden and mys-
terious ailments and are unable to work
half the time. Over in the Territory the
Standard is increasing tankage capacity
and doubling daily runs.
The stagnation has made thousands of
men idle. Field workers, gaugers, clerks
and bookkeepers are a drug upon the
market, and many of these are leaving
for other points. Many Of these men
are in bad shape financially. They were
caught in the oil excitement of a year
ago, and most of their savings have gone
into oil stocks. It was from the holders
of oil stock that all of the legislative
agitation of last winter really came.

MUTiNEERS GIVE UP.
Kuiaz Potemkine Surrenders to Rou-
n,anian Authorities.


The big Russian battleship Kniaz Po-
temkine, which for ten days had been the
terror of the Black sea, surrendered to
the Roumanian government, the mutt
neers having been promised that they
should not be given up to Russia. All
members of the crew, about $50 in num-
Der, will be conveyed to such frontier as
they may select and set at liberty. The
flag of st. Andrew is once more flying at
the masthead of the mutinous warship
and the little torpedo boat which Joined
her in rebellion.
When the mutineers offered to surren-
der as deserters the Roumanian authorl-
ties demanded the breech locks of the
battleship's guns as pledge OF GOOD
faith The mutineers offered to present
the battleship to the Roumanian govern
ment, as they declare they are anxious
that she should not be handed over to
Russia. They asked the Roumanian au-
thorities to guarantee that they would
furnish the sailors who surrendered with
Roumanian passports and also to guaran-
tee that they shall not be extradited to
Russia.
The Russian foreign office undoubted-
~ Will make the strongest representations
against the mutineers being treated as
simple deserters and demand their sur
render to answer not only for mutiny but
also for the murder of their officers, the
bombardment Of Odessa and Indictment
to Il revolution.
The vailglorious proclamation issued
by the mutineers at Odessa will also
weigh heavily against them. Their crime
is one which is considered to be the

Splitting Headache

Can be often relieved by nerve soda
tive, but the scientific way of treating
a headache is to go right down to the
real cause, or root of the trouble, and
cure it with DR.. Caldwelis Syrup Pep

headache, dizziness, constipation, and
is free from the dangerous after-ef-
fects, which so frequently follow the

In the Central West, the East and

The sharp advance in raw cotton has
had a rather stimulating effect on
Southern trade sentiment, though in
dicating smaller than expected yields,
the feeling being that higher prices
will offset reduced production. The
advance in raw cotton has stimulated
inquiry for cotton goods, which have
been generally advanced to 10 per
cent, and buyers complain Of deliy-
cries. Wool has strengthened, and the
market for footwear, though quiet, has
shown the effect of present high prices

hides in years. Building material of
all kinds reflects the demands Of

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
More Lives Lost in Celebrating 1t than
Achieving Independence.


It will come with something of a sur
prise to many persons to be told that
more lives have been sacrificed in cele-
brating the Fourth of July than in gain
ing independence. The annual casualties
in America from Independence day cele-
brations exceed those of any battle of
the revolution. Every year vast num-
bers of persons, mostly children, are kill
ed or injured for life in an attempt to
show their patriotism.
Up to Wednesday night statistics COM
piled by the Chicago Tribune showed
that the Fourth of July celebration this
year had cost 50 persons their lives,
while the number of persons who were in
jured aggregated 3,1G9. Every year the
nation pays tribute in blood because of
an utterly irrational method Of celebrat-
ing the Fourth of July. 1t is gratifying
to observe, however, that in all the large
cities there is reaction against the pres
ent senseleSs way of observing the Re
public's natal day. The time is not dis
tant, it appears, when the law will be
invoked everywhere to secure a rational
celebra ton. In New York this year the
Fourth of July observance actually began
several days before the anniversary ar
rived, much to the discomfort of resi-
dents. To have a week of glorious
Fourth" is Il harbarity to which no com
munity should submit. SO great has be-
come this American peril that some of
the best men in the country are taking
radical measures to eradicate the nui-
sance.
The exact total of casualties during
the Revolutionary war is not known, but
from losses in individual encounters of
which we have figures it is found that
the dead and injured for 1908 far exceed
the numbers who lost their lives in the
battles of Bunker Hill, Brandywine and
Long Island. The total of casualties in
these three encounters was 3.349 killed
ana wounded. In 1903 500 persons died
either on July or afterward from in
juries receiVed-principally lockjaw The
total of injuries all over the country was
1888.
Taking the years from 1890 to 1904. ii
is found that lilo persons lost their
lives and $4,000 We're injured for life
Some of these people undoubtedly after
ward died from the effects of their in
juries, but of these no record has been
taken. 1t is estimated that 300 persons
during this time lost one or both eyes in
the celebration of the Fourth of July.
and the number Of those who lost a limb
or both limbs was about $50
One of the most dangerous of all
classes of fireworks is undoubtedly the
dynamite torpedo. In 1900 out of a total
of 1925 accidents almost one-third were
brought about from the explosion of these
deadly things. Many cities have passed
laws forbidding the sale of dynamite tor
pedoes. but in spite of this they are still
to be bought in every large city on each
recurring Fourth of July.
