holders of the "Big Three insurance
companies the money, contributed to
the republican national committee in
1904 by the Equitable Life, the Mu-
tual Life and the New York Insur-

The aggregate Of their contributions,
made out of the "yellow dog' funds
Of the companies, was $14s,0OO. The
fact that he was elected with the help
of money taken illegally from the pol
icy holders of the three companies has
nettled the president for many months
he feels that it has placed faint upon
his administration as we'll as upon his
public career, and he means to have
the stain wiped out. -
1t has leaked out that the president
already has taken steps to have the
money refunded and that this would
have been done long ago but for the
obstinacy of Postmaster General George
B. Cortelyou and Cornelius w. Bliss Of
New York.
It is known positively that Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent for both Mr.. Cor
telyou and Mr. Bliss several months
ago and directed them to pay back
with interest whatever sums the Mu-
tual, Equitable and New York Life
contributed to his campaign fund.

NEW YEARS CALLS
A New Drink to Replace the Old Time
"Apple-Jack.'

Twenty-Five years ago the custom of
making New Years calls was de-
ightful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more 'egg-nog' or
sappleiack' than they could successful
ly carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charita-
BILE and the gentlemen tried to be as
chivalrous as ever and stand up at the
same time.
If anyone thinks there. has not been
considerable Improvement made IN the
last quarter of century in the use OF
alcoholic beverages, let him stop to
consider, among other things, the fact
that the old custom of New Year s
calls and the genteel tipping is nearly
obsolete.
The custom of calling on one 8
friends, however, at the beginning OF
the new year, is a good habit, and an
other good habit to start at that time
is the use of well-made Postum instead
of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has a sensible
daughter who has set Postum before
her guests as good thing to drink at
Yule Tide and a good way to begin the
New Year. Her father writes:
MY daughter and I have used Pos
tum for some time past and we feel
sure it contains wholesome food ma
terial.

my patients, but my daughter will be

On the other hand, Professor Corson.

lage of Bassett, about twenty miles

Bouse shad agreed to go into the

Bouse at a point which had been agreed
upon. After several hours he returned

Immediately searching party was

stead was empty and there was no mes
sage: From the appearance of the
shack the owner had not intended to
be gone long when he left. The search
ers are convinced that Bouse went for
a short deer hunt and was overtaken
by the. storm: It is now nearly two
weeks since he disappeared and no trace
of him has yet been found.

Duluth, Mimi, Dec 3.-During the
last week the old rumors Of an cleo
trio line between Duluth and the twin
cities have again been current. There
was mysterious visitor in the city the
early part of last week who, it is said,
is interested in the construction of such
a road, but he refused to say anything
for publication. .'. -
It is claimed that the new company
has secured the survey plats Of the
right Of way laid out by the, Milwaukee
road between the twin cities and the
head of the lakes. This line is 1consid-
erably shorter than any Of the steam
roads, the distance between Duluth and
Minneapolis being only 1913 miles.
A Duluth man who talked with the
mysterious visitor says that it is the
plan Of the proposed comp anY to run
two or three trains daily between Du-
luth and Minneapolis. There are prac-
tically no towns along the right. Of way
and the trains could run at express
speed, making the trip in between two
and three hours.
The visitor claimed to have the back
ing Of Minneapolis capitalists and 9TH
ers who are instrumental in! building

pect is that settlement will be
reached. The suit against the estate
is for damages amounting to 1850 900.
The case is of vast Importance to the
government in view of the fact that it
is the first of many timber claim suits
which will be filed to obtain damages
for unlawful defamation Of timber Of
the west, which has been going on for
the last decade or more. The success
of the government in the DAILY case un-
