Naval Officer Deserts.

The first officer Of the United States
navy to desert in half century, Mid
shipman Milton w. Arrowood of Bur-
lington, n. c., is a prisoner on board the
receiving ship Hancock at the Brooklyn
navy yard. He deserted January &,
while the battleship Kearsarge was ly
ing off Hampton roads Midshipman Ar
roWood turned his back on his oath and
his career because he found, as be wrote
his father at Burlington, that he could
not be a Christian gentleman and an Of
ficer of the navy at the same time. The
letter from the son to the father resulted
in another from the elder Arrowood,
who is a preacher at Burlington, to Sec
rotary of the Navy Morton, asking that
his son be permitted to resign. The let
ter to Mr.. Morton was sent shortly after,
the midshipman had finished a years
cruise on the Kearsarge. SO far as Ad-
miral Coghlan or other officers know.
there was nothing about his record that
was discredtable, or anything that might
suggest a cause for his wishing to Quit
the service other than the singular reason
given by his father to the navy depart
ment. He is to be tried by court mar
tial as deserter.

His Reason.

One of the witnesses called in a Chi
cago divorce case last year was a
highly respected clergyman in the
Windy City. says Harper's Weekly.
According to one of the counsel in the
case the following. conversation took
place between the judge and the min
lister. Said his honor:
'Dr. Blank, if you were on the bench
in my stead, and were acquainted with
all the circumstances of this case
would you grant this divorce?"
"Assuredly l would, your honor" re-
piled the clergyman, without the least
hesitation.
But" said the judge, how do you
reconcile this assertion with the in
junction of Scripture, Whom God hath
Joined let no man put asunder?'"
Your honor" responded the minis
ter, with convincing gravity, 81 am
quite satisfied that the Almighty never
Joined this couple"

BIG COLORADO LOANS
MADE BY THE EQUITABLE LIFE.
Amity Land and Irrigation Company
Got Nearly Three Million
Dollars.

New York, Sept. 20.-That the Equit-
able Life Assurance Society paid out
$21S,264 to the Mercantile Trust Com
pany in connection with certain loans
known as the Turner loans" and that
these payments were without authority
SD far as the records of the society dis
close, became known to-day when Paul
Morton, president of the society, made
public a report on the subject submit
ted by him to the society's directors.
One of the loans was on the prop
erty of the Amity Land and Irrigation
Company in Colorado, which has abb
sorbed nearly s3,000,O00 of the Equita-
BILE society's cash, the exact amount up
to July LIST of this year being S2,S09,-
633.
John w. Young Of Salt Lake is
shown to have secured large loans On
collateral which proved worthless.
These transactions occurred in what
Mr.. Morton refers to as the Turner
loan" This loan, Mr.. Morton's report
sets forth, was carried in 1894 by the
Western National Bank, which was
controlled by the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society.
The collateral for the loans was OBJ
jected to by bank examiner and
Henry B. Hyde then agreed to transfer
the loan and collateral to the Mercan-
tile Trust Company. At that time ap-
parently the loans amounted to $661,-
| 491.
George w. Turner, in whose name
the loan stood, was secretary to Louis
Fitzgerald, then president of the Mer-
camille Trust Company and close
business associate of Henry B. Hyde.
The loan was guaranteed by Marcellus
Hartley, John N. Searles, Louis Fitz'
gerald, w. N. Coler, Jr, and H. b
Hyde.
March 81, 1895, the same guarantors
renewed their guaranty, the loan hav'
| ing grown to $1,276,47S, the increase
being due to attempts to develop the
property on which the collateral for
the loan was made. Part of this col
lateral was given by John w. Young
and consisted of Salt Lake & Eastern
railroad stock and other Salt Lake
stocks. This collateral proved to be
of little value.
Other collateral consisted of con
tracts of the Kentucky Mineral ant
i Timber Company and the Amity Lant
and Irrigation Company of Colorado.
Attempts were made to develop the
Kentucky property and the Colorado
property and large sums were ex
pended for that purpose, and by july
| 1, 1905, the cost of the Kentucky prop
erty stood at $6Io,067 and the Colorado
property at s2,S09,633. The Equitable
Life Assurance Society paid the Mer
camille Trust Company $21S,264 OF
these loans January 23, 1900, and $500,
900 February A, 1904.

whatever for these payments and thu
cash entries in respect to them wer'

REMEDIES USED BY MILLIONS
Truth About the Popular proprietary
Medicines"

The recent campaign against the
4 use of proprietary medicines, conduct
ed in the columns of The Ladies'
Home Journal and Golfers Weekly.
has evoked an answer from the Com
mittee on Legislation of the Proprie-
tary Association. The committee says:
D "In considering the question raised
by recent attacks upon proprietary
medicines, every reasonable man will
admit that there is wide and legiti-
mate field for the manufacture and
sale of medicines already prepared
for general use and easily obtainable
at all times and everywhere. :. 8.
AS matter of fact these medicines
are not patented at all, and the popu-
lar use of the word patent in connec-
tion with them is a misnomer. Any
pharmacist will tell you that practi-
cally the only patent medicines in
use to-day are those which are manu-
factured either by foreign or domestic
pharmaceutical houses, and which are
pow almost exclusively dispensed by
physicians or designated by them in
their prescriptions.
THE medicines which are now the
subject of wholesale attack by Mr..
Box and Editor Hapgood are the old
fashioned family remedies properly
. described as proprietary medicines
They are the favorite' remedies among
millions of people all over the coun-
try; and, Notwithstanding the con-
stant effort of some physicians to Gre
ate prejudice. against them, no one
ever yet heard of any of the millions
of users of such remedies asking for
legislation or other action adverse to
them"

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in u pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
1907. package it is because he has
stock on hand which he wishes to
disposess before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand De-
iance and save much time and money
and the annoyance of the iron stick
ing Defiance never sticks.

FRENzlED ADVERTISING.

In these days of frenzied advertis-
ing, 1t is hard for all of us to tell the
real thing, and 1t naturally follows
that the safest way is to pin our
faith to those articles and products
which are backed and guaranteed by
the Oldest and most reliable concerns.
The Pillsbury Company of Mime
apolis. with world wide reputation
for BEST quality, guarantees to you
that in buying their ideal breakfast
food, "Pi,lsbury's VITOS-the Meat Of
the Wheat" you actually purchase a
product which is free from impurities,
and at the same time a most economi-
cal food. 1t is truly the white heart of
the wheat kernel, sterilized, nothing
added. nothing taken away; no flavor
ing, no cooking, and two pound pack
age will make you twelve pounds Of
delicious white food. Figure the
economy of this.
If you are looking for the best, and
are willing to accept the statements
of the largest and most respected of
firms, whose products are the yard
stick by which all competitors meas
ure their lines, you will not hesitate.
Ask your grocer to-day for pills

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and
who is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that trial of
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because it is guar
anteed by the manufacturers to be su-
perior to any other brand. but because
each 10c package contains 16 ozs.,
while all the other kinds contain but
~ ozs 1t is safe to say that the lr dy
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no other. Quality and quantity must
win.
No man should start fight with his
wife unless he is prepared to pay an
indemnity.
