PETITIONS DISMISSED. Judge Hoyt Says Club Was An Amusement Enterprise,

Exter, N. H., March 2.-The peti- tion of creditors of the New England Breeders club, which last year built and operated race track at Salem, asking that the club be declared in- solvent and a receiver appointed, was dismissed on technicality by Judge Hoyt in the probate court here to- day. In announcing his decision Judge Hoyt stated that while the club was incorporated partly for the purpose of improving and importing the breed of horses, it was practical fly an amusement enterprise and as such was without the operation of the national bankruptcy act. This act, he stated, makes no provision whereby a corporation engaged in an amusement enterprise can either vol. |untarily or involuntarily become a bankrupt.
 After Judge Hayt's decision had been given, it was announced that some of the creditors would apply to the United States courts to secure an opinion on the issue raised by Judge Hoyt.

TRIAL MOVING QUICKLY.
Alienist Gives His Opinion About the
 StrOther Brothers.

StrOtner BrOtnerS.
 Culpeper, Va, March 2-The trial of James and Philip Strother. charg- ed with the killing of William r. By waters, their brother-in-law, will move rapidly toward its concluding chapter after the expert testimony of Dr Charles Clark. the alienist is heard to-day relative to his opinion of the condition of the minds of the Stroth- CT brothers on the night of the trag- edy.
 Dr Clark, who is connected with the government asylum for the insane at Washington. will probably occupy most of the day. His testimoney, which is regarded as being of vital importance to the defense, is expect cd by that side to develop that both Strother brothers suffered mental de rangement on the night they admit they killed William Byfaters.
 With the completion of Dr Clark's examination. the prosecution will put on several witnesses to rebut several statements made on the stand by the Strother' brothers that Bywaters had no intention of marrying their sister Viola. prior to the time they forced him to do so. It Is thought probable that B. F. Bywaters. father of the dead man, will take the stand in re- buttal.

 $173,000 from the sub-treasury. AL though the federal officials feel cer- tain the crime was committed by some employee yesterdays develop

A NEW FACTORY
FOR OSKALO0SA
"SHINUM" co. FILES ARTICLES
OF INCORPORATION.
CAPITAL STOCK TEN THOUSAND
The Plant Is Now in Operation at keo-
sauqua, Iowa, and Is Giving En-
pIoyment to About Ten
People.

With the filing of their articles of
incorporation the management of the
Shinum Mfg. Co. have made an an
nouncement of their plans for the re-
moval of their factory from Keosau-
qua to this city in the near future.
The enterprise which they represent
is still in an experimental stage, to
some extent, but there is little doubt
of the success which awaits them,and
If the factory can be secured for Oska-
loosa it will soon be one of the many
prosperous industries which are cen,
,tering their work here.
The Shinum Co. have incorporated
with capital of $4,000 and designate
this as their principal place OF bust
ness. G. w. Jones is president and
G. B. Row, secretary and manager.
The company has the power to own
or lease real estate and to manufac'
ture brushes and daubers. The spe'
cialty which they are now manufac-
turing in their factory at Keosauqua
and which is already being success
fully sold in Kansas and Nebraska, is
a small combination box of shoe black
ing The whole arrangement meas
ures but about five inches long by
two inches thick and is covered on
the bottom, making 1t good brush
to polish the shoe. On opening the
narrow lid the box of backing is
thrown out and the lid becomes a
combination cleaner and dauber which
is quite handy to use in removing the
dirt from the crevices In the shoe and
to apply the backing from the little
oval tin box which is supplied with
the brush. The whole outfit is made
to sell for fifteen cents and is an ar
ticle that could be used to good adyan-
tage in every home.
The two head promoters are well
known in the city, having been resi-
dents here for a good many years.
Mr.. Jones has long been connected
with the shoe business in this city,
and when in the store on the south
side of the square had reputation
for conducting one OF the largest re,
tail shoe stores in southern Iowa. Mr..
Row is a retired farmer who has lived
for many years near the city and has
lately been engaged as commercial
traveller. The manager of the fac

SENATOR W. 8. ALLISON.

Joe Mitchell Chapple in the National
Magazine: The state of Iowa enjoys
the distinction of having for its Grand
Old Man Senator William B. Allison,
who has served a longer continuous
term in the United States senate than
any other man in the history of the
nation. Now in his seyenty-eighth
year it is an inspiration to look into
his bright, flashing yet kindly brown
eyes and see all the zeal of early years
displayed as he enters on his seventh
senatorial campaign.
II there ever was public man en-
titled to and possessing the heart at,
fections of the people of his state, it is
William B. Allison. He has done much
to give the state of Iowa stable prom.
inence and enduring distinction, and
is untiring in his efforts to bring its
ambitious young men to the front.
The sage of Dubuque has been
prominent in the counsels of the ma
ton for half a century past, and it
would indeed be a national calamity if
all his ripe, mature wisdom and exper-
fence should be withdrawn from the
national councils, and how much
greater a calamity would his loss be
to the dear old state which he has so
long represented!
Truly, it may be said of his career
in the same clear, scholarly and affec-
tionate terms in which he eulogized
the memory of his venerable colleague,
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts:
Reared in an atmosphere of plain
living and high thinking of right
speaking and right acting, he had
formed lofty ideals of private conduct
and public duty. A close stu
dent of the history of our country, he
was familiar with the public questions
which confronted him, and equally
familiar with the details of events
which had brought about the then ex-
listing conditions. - His service
here was active, constant and vigilant
and without disparagement to any of
the eminent men who served with him
during this long period, it may be,
truthfully said that, compared with
him, there we're few, if any, who
brought to this service higher ideals
of public duty, greater industry in
public work, greater earning as re-
spects the structure of our govern
ment, or a wider knowledge of it's con
stitutional history and the successive
steps in its growth and development"

NORRIS EccENTRIcITlEs.

When 100000 men stopped work at
the Union Stock Yards last week dur
ing the funeral of Nelson Morris, the
millionaire packer, they did honor to
a man who was so poor fifty years ago
that he had to walk from Michigan
City to Chicago when the captain of
the Buffalo boat he was working his
passage on decided not to make the
full trip. That was in the days be-
fore the railroads. Also, before the
plucky lad from the Black Forest had
set eyes on the first steer of the mil
lions which were destined to pass
through his plant. With his death
passes the last of the great Chicago
pioneers. Old "Nels" Morris had as
big hand as any of them in shaping
the real history of theor Middle West.
His packing plant that he built in
1874 was the first of its kind in Chi
cago. Since it was started he
slaughtered over 100000 steers, so
many that II driven around the world
in single file the first steer would be
back at the stock yards before the last
had passed out through the gates.
The total of hogs and sheep is great
er yet, and all the animals slaughtered
would be enough in fact to keep ev-
cry man, woman and child in North
and South America supplied with meat
| for year.
But this is not what the men at
the Yards" are thinking about. They
are telling stories of the kindness of
the old meat packer and anecdotes
about his personal life. IF Nels'
Morris ate a piece of beefsteak he
could tell you from what part of the
country came the steer from which ii
was cut" said one of the men. Il re.
member that he used to say money is
no good to man unless he maintains
the power of enjoyment" added an
other. Although the shrewd financier
and business man left a fortune OF
twenty to thirty million dollars, he
still lived, at the time of his death, in
dingy little wooden house on Indiana
Avenue which for years has been a
landmark for people in that region
Several times he started to build a
house more In keeping with his posi-
ton and each time he tore up the
plans at the last moment. This was
my first Chicago home" he told his
friends in explanation, "and if leave
it I'm afraid I'll lose my luck"
