EVERY dollar ever paid into a small country newspaper is earned three times. First it is earned in soliciting the business; next, it is earned in doing the work, whether 1t De advertising, subscription on job printing, and afterward it is earned in chasing up and collecting the money to pay for it. Yet there are always Buttinskis, signor Pele- grinis and tramp printers or hobo lawyers ready to butt into the business. But the worst of it is that there are reputable business men who have no regard for hav- ing their town well represented in a newspaper way who will con- tribute to assisting such cattle to start and run alleged newspapers, which simply make it harder for the real and really representative newspapers to get along.

IN THE HOUSE.

Washington, Dec. 5-The House to-
dav waiting on the report of appropria-
ton bills, began it's legislative grind
by passing three measures:
Incorporating the National German
American Alliance, authorizing the sec
rotary Of the treasury to duplicate gold
certificates in lieu of ones lost or de-
stroyed and the bill amending the ma
tional banking laws, permitting Ma
tional Banking Associations to make
loans on real estate as security and Jim
ting the amount of such loans.
The banking bill has been one of the
Vests favorite measures and the lead
ers in the House from that section
lined up generally in favor of the legis-
lation which it was asserted would &c
far toward popularizing the national
banks. The opponents of the bill. Dem
ocratS and Republicans, insisted that
hte real estate was not proper SeCur-
ity for 4 loan even though limit was
placed on the lean. The advocates of
the measure We're too strong, however
and the bill was passed III to Il.
The bankers in the House urged the
passage Of the bill. while the opponents
of the measure insisted that real es-
tate was not a proper security for ma
tional banks. They commended that the
system had proved failure wherever
tried.
Dearmond, Mo, thought the bill was
bad legislation. as it would tend to
limit the power Of the state banks

he can from 4 bank" he said.
Hill of Conn. took the position that
the bill had not been asked for by
many national banks and expressed the
opinion that it was Il dangerous prec-
cdent to establish.
The House ratified the action of the
Democratic caucus of last night and
placed on the rolls Paul d. Porter OF
Mississippi to succeed the late Col
Isaac Il. Hill as q special officer OF the
House.
The House adjourned at 2.55 until

GILLETTE is CONFIDENT.
Feels Sure He Will Get New Trial and
Be Acquitted.

Herkimer, n. ", Dec. 5.-There is
nothing about the appearance of Ches-
ter f. Gillette in his cell today that
goes with a picture Of despair. The
young man who was convicted Of kill
ing his sweetheart last night slept
soundly and ate heartier breakfast
than anyone else in Jail.
Gillette feels confident that he will
be treated better in the trial that he
expects to result from his appeal. No
tice of that appeal will be filed to-
morrow when Judge Devendorf as
sembles court, and sentences the pris-
oner to the only fate that lies within
his province after such a verdict. Gill
lette's lawyers would have been sat-
isfied to let any other verdict stand.
Gillette got telegram from his
mother this morning. She is Mrs. F.
S. Gillette of Denver, Col The mes
sage urged the defendant to have
courage and trust in God. 1t stated
that she has wired to his attorneys to
be sure and appeal the case and prom
ised him that she and his father would
be at his side when the next trial took
place.
Former Senator Mills, Gillette's sem
ior counsel. said this afternoon that
there would surely be an appeal from
the findings of the jury. He will be
present in court tomorrow, and make
application to have the verdict set
aside. This will be done prior to the
sentence. He said the appeal would
be brought on rather unusual
grounds but added that plans were
not yet completed.
Gillette is spending the day at cards.
He plays solitaire for while, and then.
when he can get one of his guards to
play with him, he engages in Il spirit
ed game. His mind does not seem pre-.
occupied in the least.

sion of the Senate today resulted in the
introduction of many bills. resolutions.
petitions and memorials. and the re-
ceipt Of 4 number of communications
from the Executive department.
Senator FOraker'S insistencc that inn
mediate action be taken on the pending
resolutions for information regarding
the discharge of the negro soldiers of
the 25th Infantry developed discussion,
but resulted in postponing action in tho
matter until tomorrow.
The Senate in executive session to-
day decided not to confirm any Of the
appointees to the Presidents cabinet
until favorable action has been taken
on all of the cabinet changes by the
committees to which the nominations
were referred. Therefore Chairman
Hale of the naval committee. did not
report the nomination of Mr.. Metcalf to
be secretary Of the navy.
Without debate the Senate adopted a
resolution presented by Senator Flint

of commerce and labor to furnish the
Senate copies of all official data filed

of his resolution, which calls on the
secretary of war for information. as

on the President.
Warren of Wyoming offered sub
stitute for both. which was addressed
to the President.
This suggestion Foraker was oppos-
ed to. He did not want to disturb the
President about the matter. The in

This Seasons Output Less Than

Scarcity Of Fish Means Heavy Loss
TO Maine Fishermen.

Machias. Me-, Dec. "a decrease
Of one half from the season of 1904 is
shown in the total receipts from the
sardine and herring season of 1906,
which closed the first of this month.
Tho reason for the heavy shrinkage is
said to be due to the low market price
for domestic sardines and to the scare
ity of herring in American waters.
Comparatively few of the factories
have been operated this year and dis
couragemcnt is felt over next season S
outlook.
Although the total output was the
smallest i'll many years, the quality was
of superior nature, the packers aiming
to produce quality rather than guam
tity when the difficulty in securing
interesting feature of the business this
year is the fact that q demand for
these goods has been created outside
of the United States. Some large sales
have been made in England and in

this year. those packed in oil were
largely in excess, those packed in mus
tard and tomato sauce constituting put
Il small part OF the output.
The Importance of the Sardine and
herring industry to Maine is shown by

and Hancock counties, the center Of The
