Hunting for a SCape Goat.

That the conspirators in the capi

mined to find scape goat is prac'
tically certain. Architect Huston,

packer while former Superintend'
ent of Public Grounds and Build
ings Shumaker, with equal positive
ness lays the blame on Huston. He
was the Machiavelian, Mr.. Shu-
maker declares, who pulled the
wool" over Pennypacker's eyes and
made that "bugo,ogist' like a
chunk of soft putty i'll the hands oI
the gang. Presumably some of the
others will give their iuterpreta-
tiOns ofthe mater, later on. Penny
packer has declined to make reply
to Huston, already, but he may
think better of it when he discovers
that it is necessary to Save his own
bacon"
Meantime the aggregate Of graft
is growing to prodigious proper
tions though nothing has been re-
vealed to indicate what became OF
the money. 1t has been observed
that Sanderson is a very rich man
now, whereas before the event he
was only moderately we'll off. But
nobody imagiues that he got all the
rake off. 1t is an inflexible rule of
such men that participants n graft
ing operations shall understand
addition, division and silence "
Huston's fees amounted to upwards
Of half million dollars and the
chances are that he would have to
be satisfied with that sum. Cassell,
who furnished the metal cases, did
tolerably we'll but was hardly allow
ed more than a million Of velvet. "
Assuming that Sanderson, Cassell
and Huston divided three millions,
what became of the rest?
The default of the Enterprise
National bank of Allegheny entail
ed all extraordinary demand for
funds on the machine but Treasur-
er Berry states that he can discover
no sign that the rake-of was used
for the purpose of meeting this ext
gency. That being true the infer
ence is plain that somebody, other
than those named, must have par
ticipated in the loot. Nobody sus'
pected until the fact was brought
out in judicial inquiry that Dur
ham was getting slice of the
enormous profits on the contracts
tor the Philadelphia filter plant.
Yet it is now all established and
even an admitted fact and why
might there not have been some
such silent partner or partners in
the capitol graft. The alternative
is TO assume that Pennypacker goI

TO DOUBLE TRACK SUNBURY d.
VISION.

Following the tour of Superin-
tendent T. w. Allibone and Assis-
tant Engineer w. r. Thompson
over the Sunbury division on Sat
nrday it has been announced, un-
officially, that the entire Sunbury
division will be double tracked,
and that The WORK will be complet-
ed this summer.
The need Cor a double track on
this division has long been almost
necessity on account of the in
creasing traffic and the consequent
congestion all along the line The
officials of the Sunbury division
have for many years been working
with the ultimate object of having
the whole division double tracked,
and now it seems that they have
sufficiently interested the men high
in authority of the necessity of the
improvement.
Much of the road is at present
double tracked. Between Danvllle
ana Sudbury there are only iour
III les where there is but one track.
o. the rest of the division the
many sidings make almost con-
;inual double track to Wilkes Barre.
1t is the intention when the double
track is finally completed to insti-
tute number of improvements on
the line; curves will be straigh'en-
ed out and new bridges will be
built. A new cement bridge is now
i'll course of erection at Roaring
Creek. This bridge. which was
started last week is TO be for a
double track. The company is al
SO making improvements on its
telegraph lines.

controlled in what is here called the
Bryan Hearst treaty."
Bryan has no desire to run for pres
ident against either Roosevelt or
Hughes. He would dearly love to run
against Taft. He knows that defeat
next year would retire him perman-
emily, while the defeat of another cam
didate would not injure his own stand
ing or put him out of the race in
1912. Hearst is anxious to run against
either Roosevelt or Hughes.
The news that Bryan Is not anx-
ious to run against Hughes oragainst
Roosevelt may be accepted as au-
thentic. He does not believe that any
candidate could carry New York. New
Jersey or Connecticut against Hughes
and while he does not regard Roose-
Welt as so strong, he believes the pres
ident's popularity coupled with the
negative record of the democrats IN
congress, would pull him thru.

A Boy and a Dog.
(Des Moines News.)

(DeS MONIES NeWS.)
That the average small boy would
die for his dog any minute of his life
was demonstrated to my entire salts
faction the other day at Fifteenth and
Grand avenue.
A small dog weighing about twenty
five pounds when he entered the drug
store, and somewhere between 400 and
a ton when he left came up the side
walk with about six feed of cord at

nosed, freckled-faced boy about 10
years old.
The dog evnced burning desire to
enter the barber shop, the meat mar
ket. Kaufi'man's grocery and Chase's
grocery on the west side of Fifteenth
street. Finally the dog led the boy
across the street to Irwin Fishers
drug store. Here, as usual, the vora-
cious dog rammed his snoot against
the screen door, evidently in search of
rhinoceros. for it was evident to all
the loafers; in the drug store that Mr..
Dog was looking for larger game than
rats.
Just inside the screen door at r.

West Needs No Help From
Wall Street to Move its
Crops
MONEY RETURNS FROM EUROPE
Reports Received by Treasury De-
partmert From Eastern Financial
centers Is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Banks and Trust Companies Leaning
Mony in the East.

Washington, July 25.-Reports re-
ceived at he treasury department from
New York and other financial centers
are unexpectedly encouraging. The
conditions in Wall street for a long
time had aroused great anxiety. The
stock market was made subject to rap
the recent rise in prices was due to
professional manipulation. Bankers
and others turnout the country ex-
pressed good deal of fear as to what
might happen at the end of the fiscal
took to redeem the remaining called
bonds
To do this he had to reduce govern
ment deposits to a considerable extent
and conservative bankers expressed the
opinion that this might affect the mon
ey market so seriously as to make 1t
Impossible to secure money for moving
crops in the fall without producing
rates of interest.
Money Returns From Europe.
Fortunately, all these fears thus far
have proven Idle. The refunding and
redeemng process has been conducted
by the treasury in such way as to do
the least possible harm to the money
market The gold export movement
practically has ceased and money
seems actually now to be flowing back
to Wall street from Europe in consid-
cradle quantities.
In rega.d to money necessary for the
movement Of crops two months hence,
it is grad dawning upon the imam
cers of the east that the interior is
more anG more prepared to take care
of it's own needs in this regard. Large
western hanks and trust companies for
a long time have been loaning money
in the east
West Takes Care of Itself.
They may have to call some of these
loans for crop moving time, but the
commercial prosperity of the west is
so enormous that many experts believe
the western financial institutions will
be able to furnish the bulk of crop
moving money this year without ser
ous inroads on their eastern credits.
There undoubtedly will be strin-
gency in Wall street in the fall, but
experience during the last two years
has shown that high rates for money
in the street does not by any means IN
dictate scarcity of cash for legitimate
operations. The public is out of Wall
street and undoubtedly will stay out
until such time as railroad managers
restore confidence in their securities by
a return to old, conservative methods
and an abandonment of stock jobbing
and reorganization" the western
bankers assert.

IOWA EXCURSIONS OFF.
The Last Cheap Excursion Will Be
Run This Week,

Des Moines, July 25.-A lively con
troversy followed the recent breach of
agreement on the part of the Minneap-
oils & ST. Louis when it run an excur-
sion last Saturday, with the result that
the errng road has entered into an
ironclad compact that no more excur-
sions shall be given by any Iowa roads.
The ultimatum declaring that the eX-
cursions had been abandoned was
given out yesterday at the local Of
fees of the various roads. At ghe time
the 2-cent rate went into effect all
roads agreed to do away with excur-
sions entirely, but the Minneapolis &
ST Louis road violated this agree
ment.
This section will have no effect on
long excursions to far eastern points,
which will be continued as heretofore
on the same basis of fares nhe fact
that excursions will no longer be run
to near distant points will tend to pro-
mote more steady travel and will In

Chicago. July 25.-Cattle were steady
for good stuff weak on all other kinds.
Bearish feeling prevailed turnout the
day. General quality of offerings not
bad. tho there were only Il few loads
of prime heavy yearling stuff on the
market, but they were not very active.
Local traders in stock cattle have
been considerably disappointed in the
market lately, because the demand
from the country has been so slack.
They seem to think that it is worse
This may be true, but there is some
reason for it, Prices have been ruling
high for the good grades of feeding
steers, and with many farmers it is a
question whether the venture is safe
one. If feeders could be assured that
fat steers would be selling at the pres
ent level when they got ready TO mar
ket their stuff several months hence,
then likely the demand would be good
But there are many who do not have
sufficient confidence in the future to
take the chance. Buying first-class
feeders at IS when choice fat steers
are selling; at 81 is not out of line and
looks like safe proposition. There
has been some difficulty lately in get
ting the first-c class kind. because OF
the competition from killers. Another
thing that has hurt the feeder de-
mand lately is the pressure of farm
work. Many are in the thick of harv-
est, and there are so many things to
do that little attention is paid to
feeding cattle.
Hogs.
Hogs opened weak and closed up

the packers, altho there was some in

Uncertainty as to what supply Of

ciate values of provision stocks in their
cellars, but are fearful that any de-
cided bulge will incite the country
to renewed liquidation. flood the stock
yards. and demoralize not only the
hog market but the provision pit.
Since the low spot last week advances
of 20625c have been registered, and
packers figure that this ought to cause
renewal of liquidation, if the country
is in that humor and has the hogs;
otherwise it will demonstrate the pos
sibility of light receipts during Aug

will assist In advancing hog values,
