CANAL COST SS4,449,OOO CONSTRUCTION $o, 72o, 900 Costs To American Govern ment Up To Decem-
 Der Figures up

Washington, Sept. 1.-The Panama canal cost the American government $S4,449,0O0 up to December S1, 1906, ac- cording to a statement of the audited expenditures just published. The bull of thls expenditure was the $50, 1000, 900 to the French company and the Pana- ma government for canal property, right of way and franchises, and $S,- 449.022 went for material and supplies. For general administration there was expended $1124226; government and sanitation, $3S1 ,0S9; and construction and engineering, $s,729,554. Other ex- penses included SIP, 2,13S, S25 under the head of plant, which includes rolling stocks, machinery, second main track on isthmus, buildings, zone water works, etc.
 A plan by which European laborers on the isthmus of Panama may bring their families to that place is under consideration by the canal commission. It contemplates the erection of cheap houses on small tracts of lands es- tablshing settlements in close proxi- mlty to the work along the canal. The colonization of these people, 1t is be- Keyed, will give steady and perma- mont supply of the best labor available for the canal work, and will result In clearing and improving a good portion of the land belonging to the commis- sion on the canal zone.
 From the total force of canal em- ployes cn the roll in July, 1907, the death rate was 95 per thousand, as against 67 per thousand in July, 1906.

Realistic surprise attended the large crowd of city officials who patriotical- ly attended the defeat of their repre- sentative nine by the representative nine of their brotherhood in the capi- tai city at the annual outing and base ball game at Hartford yesterday. From 12 o'clock at noon until 12 o'clock at night bewilderment seized the 105 guests of the Hartford officials. and they passed through those twelve hours in beautiful enjoyment inter- mingled and tinted noisy enjoyment. The treatment received by the Hart ford officials imprints upon the re- membrance of every one who attended from this city to- e-forgotten obeisance to their generous hosts of the capital city.
 The visitors from New Haven took the 12:56 D. m. train. They were badged by the local committee with neat badges at the top of which the emblem of the state was imprint- ed. The trip up to the capital city was attended by series of the measures of the enjoyment which showed the zealous work of the local quartet. At Meriden the men were re-badged by the Hartford officials. Senator Thom- as J. Spellacy, Alderman Seymour, S. Kashmann. John R. Kemmerer, and ex- Mayor Tgnarius A.

 It was the intention of Mr. Fish to place the information, If he got 1t, before the shareholders at the an- nual meeting, to be held October 16, to back up his assertion that the Illl- nois Central was being managed by b. Fl. Hartman, in the interests of the Union Pacific.
 The resolution presented by Fish called on a number of minor officers and clerks to report direct to the board. This was carried at last We'd nesday's meeting, but only after Charles A.

 This was the information sought by Fish:
 That I. G. Rawn, the vice presi- dent; T. J. Hudson, the general tradlc manager; J, F.

VETERANS MARCH THROUGH STORM Vigorous Members of The Grand Army Watched by Thousands at
 Saratoga.
MANY SOLDIERS
 IN THE HOSPITAL
National Camp Fire and Muster For Tonight Brings Gathering
 to Close.

Saratoga, N Y, Sept. 11.-The Grand Army of the Republic held it's parade to-day-its forty-first-in memory of the bitter days of war. Ten thousand limping, gray haired veterans-the remnant of the once grand, buoyant, victorious army whose scores of thousands passed In review at the national capital when the war was over--braved a driving storm to march once more beneath their battle flags And mindful of the stress of story as in the day of '6l when youth and vigor and love of the flag knew no physical bounds, these dwindling thousands passed once more in review, over mile course through village streets-a district suited to their gathering years, while scores drop- ped out when the rain began to fall, and the ranks held their line and braved the driving storm. Governor Charles E. Hughes, his military staff. the national officers of the Grand Army and distinguished visitors on the reviewing stand were lily shielded from the driving storm beneath a Ginsy covering of cloth
 For an hour the vets marched and when the last faltering rank had pass- cd in review, the rain ceased. the skies cleared and the sun broke forth. The dripping but undaunted old soldiers found their ways to lodging places, satisfied that such trlfle as a driving rainstorm had no more arrested their march than in the old days.
 It was not cheerful day, nor a good one for men burdened with ills of the flesh and the weight of years, | but it was a day to lend force to the arguments of those who seek to have these annual parties done away with 'I have never seen lnvthing so ln- spring or so pathetic" said Governor Hughes as the last of the Tagging dripping veterans had passed the 1 stand. When tho serious conse- quences of that march through the rain to many of the old veterans are considered, It is revelation of the courage and determination of the American people seldom seen. II should serve as an inspiration and ar encouragement to us all It was splen. did--magnincent"
 Thirty-six veterans are in the loca, hospital none of whose condition, I, was stated tonight, Is serious. These

From Andover Gazette.

David Williams and A. T. Cooper
OF Webster, president and cashier
respectively, of the Farmers and
Merchants bank, were among the
Waldorf guests last Wednesday.
Last Saturday Andrew Olson left
in our den a sample of corn he
raised on his farm south of town
which has been admired by many,
We did not measure 1.-THE corn
but the ears would do credit to any
state, being well filed to the end.
On account of some mistake being
made in sending parts Of the scales,
work on the Farmers elevator has
been some what delayed, but the
workmen say they will be ready 10
receive grain tomorrow and will
soon commence work on the large
coal sheds. The elevator has all
the modern improvements, and is
reported to be one of the best in
South Dakota.
Last Thursday morning as stock
train steamed eastward. sparks from
the locomotive started a FIRE on the
east side of the school section west
of town. A strong north wind fam
ned the flames, and in spite of the
heroic efforts of the citizens, about
fifty tons of hay went up in smoke.
1t is said that had not the wind
shifted when near the Walt Evans
the flames would have lap
ped up his buildings.

and visible means of sending the
message. Science is always at work
making the impossible of yesterday
the easily understood of today.
We believe that out of about
eighteen hundred dollars that the
federal government paid a number
of Senator CANDLES family the
great white washing committee
ascertained that only about two
hundred dollars of it were drawn out
for services which the aforesaid
member of the senator's family did
not perform. But, added this party
Of whitewashers, it was not shown
that the senator himself derived any
benefit from this bit of graft. Sure
not! 1t was only the senator's son!
The senator himself never touched
it! No sir, not he. Gamble is one
of the Gamble Crawford. Parker
Glass machine in South Dakota.
1t is pretty sure that the present
high prices for farm products will
give mighty impulse to agriculture
which will inevitably result in
modified markets. Farmers will
enlarge their fields and bumper
crop will provide yields in excess Of
demands. The wise farmer will
forsee this result and turn his atten.
ton TO those lines which will not be
SO readily affected, The wheat Oh
barley crop maybe doubled in q
single year, but it still takes three
years to make three year old steer
and the farmer who goes on his way
as before with reasonable amount
of small grains, but mining hi:
faith to live stock and dairying will
in the long run be upon safes
ground and pocket the surest profits

against fraud all persons making

Heretofore the period of actual
