M. Witte, no matter how he personally

To confidential friend yesterday he
offered little hope of change in the
situation.

Perhaps they are willing to decrease
the sum asked, but substantial compen-

THE USUAL MONDAYS INCREASE.

Total deaths, 205.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 22-Though
there was an increase yesterday, both
in the number of new cases and of ia
'talities, hopefulness continued to per-
wade the Federal headquarters touch
ing the local yellow fever situation.
The Monday list is always large. 1t
was so in the epidemic of 1878. That
is attributed to the fact that the work
of inspection is not so thorough on
Sunday, and only the reports which
come from physicians are to be de-
pended on. In the matter of deaths,
uniformity is unusual from day to day
because the condition of the patients is
SO largely affected by meteorological
and other conditions. The Federal au-
thorities have not reached point
where they are willing to prOphesy the
complete determination of the disease
before frost comes to destroy the bulk
of the remaining infected mosquitoes,
but they feel that there is reason for
the prediction that repetition of Sc
rious epidemics of the past is no long
err to be reckoned with. In this con-
nection unusual precautions under the
supervision of the Marine Hospital
Service or otherwise are to be taken

chase abroad any material for the
Panama Canal construction beyond
that needed Off immediate use. This
decision does not mean that the Presi-

canal work. it being explained that
they do not intend to take advantage
of the present situation by stocking

Congress at it's next session. 1t is
tsated on authority that the President
and Secretary Taft would gladly re-
ceive any instructions from Congress
and execute them in the spirit in
which the legislation is conceived. But
as the law stands the material must
be bought in the cheapest market in
the view of the President, Secretary
Taft and Chairman Shontz.
Some representations have been
made to the executive that if the exc
cution of the new policy is delayed
until Congress re-assembles, directive
legislation will be had Immediately
thereafter. So the decision was
reached to make no abnormal pur-
chases of material, while as to the
needed shipping. the canal commits
sion will proceed immediately to char

sary to transport construction mate

A WONDERFUL RECORD.
The Youngest Shoe House in ST

Opened New Era in Shoe
Selling.

Our readers doubtless noted and
are Interested by the advertisement OF
Roberts,, Johnson & Rand Shoe Co. OF
st. Louis, which appeared in this pa
per May 18th.
The child ascending the ladder
strikingly represents the upward pro-
gress of this sturdy young giant OF
the West.
From a very small beginning to one
of the largest shoe houses in the
world in seven years, is a record never
equalled by any shoe concern in the
world.
Roberts, Johnson & Rand Shoe Co..
started in business seven years ago
with a capital of $150,0O0.00. They
had no factories, no customers
and employed but nineteen (19) sales
men. Today they have cash capital
of $4,000, 100000, operate five large
speciality factories with a combined
daily capacity of $4,000 pairs, sell TO-
500 retail merchants, and employ
eighty three (83) travelling statesmen.
Actual shipments for the year just
closed amounted to $6,346, 629.51.
This big concern is largely cooper
alive the majority of its best employ
ees being stockholders. The watch
word is Pull Together" and it is well
followed
Having established reputation for
honest shoes and fair dealing, the
name of Roberts, Johnson & Rand
Shoe Co. and the Star on the heel
has become a household synonym for
highest quality throughout the South
and West.
The mark for the coming year has
been set for $4,000, 100000, and judging
the future by the past there is no
question that it will be passed with
ease.
The West, and st. Louis especially,
should be proud of this lusty young
