ton at Milwaukee, May 80

The Rural Letter Carriers Associa-
tion of Wisconsin will hold its annual
convention at Milwaukee, Wednesday,
the 3Oth of May. Memorial day was
selected for.the meeting because it is

ter carriers in Wisconsin, and the
Wisconsin association is anxious to
have all carriers identified with it as
members. It is expected that large
proportion OF the rural letter carriers
Of the state will attend the meeting at
Milwaukee, and they are invited to do
50 whether members Of the association
or not
TIE members of the Milwaukee
County Association are making active

THE efforts of the c. & M. electric
railway to secure a right of way
through Kenosha and Racine coun-
ties have brought out some interest
ing statements under oath as to land
values in the two counties which
ought to have considerable effect on
assessments. The supervisors of as
essments will be expected to take
these sworn statements into consider
alton in checking the work of the as.
SCISSORS in the county.

II is probable that decided opposi-
ton would develop to any plan to put
the buns and hobos at work on the
streets. Men working with ball and
chain or under guard are not pleas
ant sight, but there could be no OBJ
lection to having them put in their
time breaking stone in the seclusion
of the jail yard, and the latter plan
would be fully as effective In discour-
aging their visits to Kenosha.

HAS A NEW SCHEME
Secretary Of State Seeking the
Names Of All City and
Town officials
FOR A PRIVATE MAILING LIST

Copies of letters, with which Secre-
tary of State Houser is flooding the
state, would seem to indicate that the
secretary desires mailing list of all
the county and town officials in the
state for the use of the Lenroot-
Houser combination IN its preliminary
campaign, as the secretary is demand
ing of county clerks throughout the
state that they furnish him with lists
of all the petty public officials in their
counties.
In some instances where the first
requests for these lists have been dis
regarded, as many as six or eight let
ters have been sent urging the imme.
date forwarding Of the lists. When
the mailing lists are complete these
petty officials will probably lind their
mail heavy each day with literature
requesting they work for the Len
root-Houser slate. Following is a
copy of the letter which Mr.. Houser
is sending out industriously through
the state:
Dear Sir-I have written you sew
eral times asking that you send me
the names Of all town, city, village
clerks, treasnrers and supervisors. I
have heard nothing from you in reply
and would ask that you send them in
by return mail. If you cannot send
me the names of all the above at the
present time, wish you would send
the names of sall treasurers and
supervisors, letting the others come
later.
81 have immediate use for these
and the only list I have from your
county is the one for 1905. Yours truly,
Nv. L. HoUsER,
"Sec'y of State. !"
Attorneys say that the secretary Of
state has right to lists of the town
clerks so that he may forward election
notices, but that he is entitled ofici-
ally to none of the other names he is
requesting.
The letters are written on the off,
cial stationery of the department of
state and are signed by Mr.. Houser in
his official capacity.

RAISE A LOUD HOWL
Property Owners on South Side Protest
Against Catch Basin Leavings

Property owners on the South side
are making decided howl on account
of the fact that refuse taken from the
catch basins is being thrown on some
of the back streets. The work of
cleaning the catch basins was form
erly done entirely at night in order
that the stencil might not disturb
pedestrians, and it is hard to see what
use could be made of this refuse mat
ter. It should be carried away and
buried.
The property owners have threat
ened to make complaint to the board
of health and ask that immediate
measures be taken to abate the
nuisance.

ST. PAUL WILL NEED MORE
MONEY FOR EXTENSIONS

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-By the sale Of
it's $500 90 treasury stock 90 stock
holders al par the ST. Paul has pro-
vided less than half Of the funds it viii
need on Its Western extension within
the coming two years. but enough for
the pressing necessities. of, say. the
next twelve months. The cost OF the
main line TO the coast may be roughly
estimated at 100000 with an addi.
uonaI sum for terminals. Equipment
commensurate with the new mileage
must also be added. but this will be
done gradually and will not present any
serious financial problems.
The money to be received for the new
stock does not by any means represent
the cash which the company has at
command for construction purposes. or
for at least temporary use for construc-
ton purposes. AS had already been
pointed out. the cash IN hand on June
50. 1895. plus the surplus over dividends
OF the last fiscal year. is not less than
N40100J0 a considerable part OF which
could be used for cor ustrucuon purposes

WASHINGTON TRADERS
NOT AFFECTED BY RISE
Only Vain Regrets That the Inevitable
Rise in Pacifcs Had Not Been
FOIeseen.

A tour Of the several local brokerage
houses with New York connections,
failed 10 discover any remarkable in
terest in the tremendous rise in the
PaCidcs SO successfully engineered on
Friday The modestly dressed individ-
ual who has been carrying O hundred
OF two shares which he has gradually
accumulated over a period of several
months. always expressing confidence
that eventually he would be made
wealthy by the sure-to-come rise. was
conspicuous by his absence.
Nor was tho reckless plunger who was
equally confident that recent prices
were tco high, and that the short side
would net him a tidy sum at all ir evi-
deuce. Inquiry at the several offices
was productive Cnly of the een-,...
statement that Washington traders
were not seriously affected either way.
In fact, in one prominent house the
statement was volunteered that they
had not 4 single share Of the Pacific on
either side OF their books, While in
others there was a general expression
that but few Washington traders would
be made either richer or poorer by the
advance.
Reports from New York are Of tho
same tenor ana the discrepancy be-
tween a IS oo0, O0O loss by the bears and
a S25,0J0000 winning by the Hartman
crowd out of the same people is hard 10
make tally.
While there was considerable interest
all day yesterday and Friday at the
,pyrotechuical display of these two
stocks there was nothing to indicate that
washington had any strong personal iu-
terest IN them.

TRIUMPHANT BEARS
ON COTTON MARKET
Continuation OF DefIne and Absence Of
Substantial Support Gives
Them Added Courage.

NEW YORK, Aug. lS.-The cotton
market developed further weakness to-
day under a continuation OF heavy SELL
ing for both local and Southern ac-
counts OF the same character and on
the same conditions which have been
forcing the marke, down throughout
the week. There vas a continued abb
sence of any substantial support not
withstanGing the attractveness Of the
lower range Of values
Trading was very active today, but
was entirely at the expense Of values.
The maximum decline extended to 20 10
% points from last nights prices, which
were the lowest for the day. October
sold down 10 Sg2, while December went
20 $40. and January 20 9IS The August
and September options both broke
through the basis of SIS cents. These
prices make a tCtaI decline of 90 20 Go
points for the week, and over l25 points,
or Sc a bale, since August 3. and are, OF
course, another low record for the sea-
son and have not been equaled since
nearly two years ago. The market was
favored with only slight rallies OF few
points on the pr0fr-taking movement
among the shorts and renewed heavy
selling broke the market again in the
last hour, so that prices practically clos
ed at the bottom spot cotton declined
10 points here this morning to the basis
Of 1910 cents per pound for middling,
with no sales Tepor,ed.
The closing prices: August, S.74a16;
September, S.S0Ss; October, 902003;
January, 9.I9T920i December, 912 asked;

HARYESTS
INSPIRE CONFIDENCE
Continuation of Present Prosperous
Business Conditions Fully As
suTed This Fall.

Abundant crops and an .0versoId steel
industry, says Dun's Review, engender
sentiments of confidence that make the
outlook bright FOR a continuance Of
present prosperous business conditions.
Each week brings a new high-water
mark in some department, and the net
result is uniformly better than for the
corresponding week in any previous
year. The weather has favored both
crops and the distribution of merchan-
disc while the latter is increased by
seasonable bargain sales.
Despite Unprecedented preparations for
business by liberal purchase of rolling
stock, the railways are facing a serious
traffic blockade that cannot be avoided
when the crops begin TO move freely.
Earrings thus far reported for August
were III per cent. larger than last
year.
Confidence, says Bradstreet's, in
creases as crops, promising large if not
record yields in nearly all instances, ap-
proach maturity and jobbing operations,
demand from first hands. and orders
from manufacturers broaden as the
month advances. Distribution of dry
goods particularly of cotton fabrics. has
been on large scale at firm or advanc-
ing prices, and other wearing apparel,
building material iron and steel. agri-
cultural implements hardware and raw
wool have all been maved freely. Prices
have been notably strong. except for
new crop cereals and for cotton. which
feel the influence of large present OF
prospective crops.
Railway operations continue immense
ly profitable, as shown by increased div
idends announced by leading Pacific
railroads and by reports for the month
of July Iron prices stiffen and the
fears of a runaway market increase.
