Buchtel, said by officials of the anti
saloon league to be readily forthcom-
ing, to make it law.
at is not all we asked for, but We
are satisfied" said Superintendent NC
Laughlin as the bill was passed.
Representatives of the brewerles
and the whisky interests make the
same comment.
The lii, provides for means OF clos
ing up saloons in cities, wards, pre-
cincts O.. townships. 1t does not per
nit the closing of them in an entire
county.
1t requires a petition signed by forty
per cent. of the voters to get any ac-
tion to bring the question to vote.
The bill. as passed. strikes out the
original provision inserted by the Sen
ate barring saloons from radius OF
500 feet of any school house. church,
or charitable institution. Saloons can
be operated next door to such institu-
tions.
The bill was strengthened in the
House by cutting out a section which
permitted drug stores to deal in drinks
in dry districts without restrictions.
Representative Vincent forced this
change.

ALMOST A PANIC.
stocks at New York Take Another
Tumble.

umpI6.
New York-Under the effect OF
twenty-five per cent. money and the
generally pessimistic sentiment devel-
oped as a result of the recent heavy
decline, trading on the stock exchange
Thursday reached a stage of demoral-
ization bordering on actual panic.
A remarkable feature of the present
decline in Wall street values Is that II
was foreseen several months ago and
that warning was given, so that brok-
ers generally had protected themselves
by requiring their customers to de-
posit and maintain ample margins on
their trades.
The worst period Of the day was
shortly before the closing OF the stock
exchange session, although there was
an extremely violent falling off IN
prices between 12 and O'Clock.
New low records for the year, and In
some instances for several years, were
established in the active speculative
issues under precipitate selling, with
the market apparently without buying
orders other than those OF the bears
to cover their short contracts and re-
alize their profits. The closing quota
tions showed the following declines for
the day in leaLins shares:
An.algamated Copper, 17A.
American Smelling, 1Gh.
St. Paul, 1874.
Consolidated Gas, I.
Delaware Il Hudson, l9H.
General Electric, 9I..
Great Northern, 5h.
Minneapolis, St. Paul and SAUL Ste.
Marie, 6H.
Missouri Pacific, ~.
National Lead. 12M.
New York Central, G..
Norfolk G. Western, 7H.
Northern Pacific, s.
Pennsylvania, 6k.
Reading, 20A.
Southern Pacific, 5&.
Twin City Rapid Transit, 5.
Union Pacific, 20A.
United States Steel, 31s.
United States Steel, preferred. 4.
In most instances even these figures
do not represent the extreme declines,
as Reading closed two points above
the lowest, and Union Pacific four and
one-half above the lowest of the day.
The total sales we're 2,719.0O6 shares,
the largest total on any dag in the re-
cent trading. The announcement o.
government relief for the money situ-
alton was not received until after the
close of the stock exchange.
Other than higher money and the
generally boarish feeling. thee was
nothing to account for the markets
weakness unless 1t was the nervous
ness of stock market traders as TO the
attitude of the national administration
toward the railroad corporations.
Just before the midday break
rumor was circulated and was given
considerable credence, to the erect
that banker who had just returned
from Washington had reported to his
friends that the President had declared
that his views as to the railroads mad
not changed and that he saw 70 reason
to change them at this time.

A Observation-Disclosures All.

Washir rgton.-Alleged irregularities
in reclamation service work in Idaho
arc pronounced by Director Newell to
be complaints made by contractors
against classification by engineers in
charge of work performed by those
contractors, who claim in some In,
stances that they have been discrimi-
mated against and their work class
fed as eGrth excavation when it should
have been rock.
These complaints, Newell says. we~e
received some time ago and We're in
the nature of appeals from local en-
gineers. He at once convened a board
of engineers to meet at Boise, March
30. to consider and report upon the
complaints. The members of this board
will be Engineers Sanders, Wells an1
Wiley. who will hear complaints nf
contractors and recommend proper ac
tion to the director of the service
Newell said that special care had been
taken at all times to conduct the af
fairs of the reclamation service in ar
honest and business-like manner, apf
he invited the fullest investigation o'
reported Irregularities.

coUNTRYMAN.
TRINIDAD TRAGEDY LAID bARE
Companion Of Dead Man Arrested
Says Rock Thrown From Win
dow Killed Him.

Trinidad, Colo.-About 4:30 O'Clock
Sunday afternoon several people pass
ing along Plum street found the body
of a man lying in an alley, and stand
ing near the body was another man
holding large rock in his hand. Of
ficers were notified and physician
summoned, but the man lying on the
ground was dead
His name is said to be Juan Cordova.
The man standing over the body, who
gave his name as Frank Martinez,
stated that while he and Cordova were
coming through the alley someone
threw rock from a window of the
brewery wash house which struck Cor
dova on the head. killing him. Marti-
nez exhibited the rock that he held in
his hand to substantiate his story.
Coroner Guilfoil thoroughly exam
inted the surroundings and found that
the lower sill of the brewery window
is eight feet from the floor. Several
men six feet tall and over stood on
beer keg and were not able to see
man passing through the alley. Mar
tinez was arrested.
An autopsy conducted by County
Physician Forhan revealed that Cor
dova's larynx was torn loose from the
ligaments and several small bones
were broken, although there was no
outward mark of violence on his neck,
The officers are unanimous IN ths
belief that the two men were quarre :
ing and that Martinez caught Cordo va
x,
causing almost instant death. Marti'
nez, however, tonight sticks to the
window story. No one witnessed the
affair.
Both Martinez and Cordova are Mex
leans and strangers here. They nave
been working at an extra grazing
camn for the Santa Fe at Morley, ten
miles west of here. They came TO
Trinidad together and were drinking
good deal during the day. An IN
kuest will be held.

Do We chanae Our size?

We all have read such phrases as
''his form seemed to dilate," and "he
suddenly looked mean and shrunken.
Without doubt one can and one does,
under certain circumstances, as in of
Tended dignity. extend the height. di'
late the chest. and so become larger,
and fear may cause n sort of collapse
that makes one appear quite shrunken.
These are real and commonplace
things. There is something else al
lied to the foregoing which is not
quite so simple, says New York Week
ly. We associate grand things with
bigness, and mean things with small
ness. BY some curious trick of our
nervous system We no sooner learn
that a person has done noble deed
than his form looks noble, and if we
hear that the deed is mean his form
appears mean. If another is proved
intellectually excellent. We mark the
width of his forehead. Should he sub
sequently do anything disgraceful, we
think his forehead mean-looking. And
indeed, we ourselves may feel broad
or mean in brow, but all these things
are mental illusions.
