The Hoosier Cabinet is practical

quently in preparing meal are group
ed around the work table where they
can be reached with the least effort.
The flour is put in at the top and
every bit comes out through a sitter at

Besides there is the dust-proof sugar

Executive Committee of Y.
M. C.. A. Tells What is
Necessary to Make the
Movement a Success.

At the last meeting of the executive
committee of the Y. NJ C. A. the fol
lowing action was taken:
To the Citizens of Richmond:
1t is now about three months since
the campaign for a 100000 Y. NJ. C.
A. building in Richmond was launch
ed.
The total subscriptions to date are
little over $4,000, and as the goal
seems a long way off, we, the execu
tive committee, appointed by the
state committee, have decided to is
sue this statement SO that our citi-
gems may be informed as to the true
status of affairs.
There have been received to date
s24 subscriptions, divided as to
amounts as follows:
Five $1,000 subscriptions. nine
$500 two $3.50, twelve $3.50, sixty-one
800, one 500, two SIS, one sos, fifty
four $50, one $45, two $40 three $50,
five $50 and one hundred and sixty
two $25 subscriptions, making total
of $26, $3.50 Average subscription
above s25, sS1.S7. Also SO subscrip-
tions less than s25, s3,sO1, making a
grand total of S94 subscriptions for
$40, 326.50.
There should be $500 subscriptions
received in Richmond.
Our citizens must realize that the
members of these committees are
mostly busy men, and can not take as
much time to this work as they would
like but by plan adopted this week
we think that everybody whose name
has been selected as a possible sub
scriber will be seen within the next
month.
At the present time we have no
positive assurance of any very large
subscriptions, although we hope for
good results from conferences that
are now pending with one or two of
our wealthiest citizens, so that the
burden of this effort must rest on the
shoulders of the rank and file. Realiz-
ing the Imperative need of this insti-
tuition in Richmond, many of our cit
liens have responded literally, and
IL the remainder respond as well as
they should the goal will be reached.
The example of other cities should
stimulate us to emulate their exam
pie, as Parkersburg, West Va, for
Instance, where they have recently |
closed up campaign with subscrip- |
ions of over 100000.
May we not bespeak for the solic- |
tors who will call on you ready |
response, and if you are ready to sub |
scribe. and have not been seen, call
I'D the headquarters, No. 1000, New
1hone. and a solicitor will be sent to |
see YOU Yours for the cause.

The great Hill, railroad and finan-
ciering genius, is now building his
Northern Pacific railroad regardless of
the objections of the state of Minneso-
ia. Three thousand miles are already
under the course of construction, and
the building of this is even startling
the railroad world by its magnitude.
1t is the opinion of the higher rail-
road officials of the country that if the
public would pay more attention in
helping relieve the car shortage than
to investigation, greater good could be
accomplished in the moving of freight
along all railroads.

Death Reveals Identity of Man.

Barr, Colo.-After keeping his iden-
tity secret for many years, the secret
of Charles Breese, who died a short
time ago at Cora, Wyoming, has been
revealed by death. Breese was none
other than Fred Bell. formerly we'll
TODD resident of Colorado.
Bell mysteriouslsy disappeared seven
years ago, taking with him SO. 500 in
cash. For many months 1t was sup
posed he had met with foul play and
an active search for his body was kept
up.
It seems, however, that Bell went to
Wyoming and located at Cora, where
he established n blacksmith shop I'M
der the name of Charles Breese. He
never told his friends in Wyoming any
thing about his past life and nothing
was known of his past until after his
death, when 1t was learned he left
brother in New York named Bell. The
brother was communicated with and
through him the secret of the dead man
came out.
Mrs. Bell and her daughter are now
living at Barr and the widow has writ
ten to Cora for full details of her hus-
bands death. She will also claim his
estate, which. 1t is said. amounts to
considerable. Mrs. Bell declares she
does not know why her husband de-
serted her and her child. as their mar
ried life had always been happy. The
couple were married at Laramie, Wyo-
ming, in 1885.

Lock Your Stable Doors.

Denver.-There is every indication
that the men who stole team from
the City stock yards on the night OF
April 10th are members of gang OF
horse thieves which Is believed Ia
have men in different parts OF this
state and Wyoming.
Several borse thieves have been ar
rested in different cities of both
states during the last three months.
and many thefts are constantly being
reported to the police. The thieves
who made their escape with the ami
mails from the Denver stock yards are
believed to be experts.
The theft occurred about midnight.
One of the gates was lifted OF its
hinges. The horses did not have a
strap on them and 1t is believed by
George l.. Goulding e Co, owners OF
the animals, that the thieves had sad
dies and bride with them.
Police throughout the West have
been notified OF the theft and are maxi
ing every effort to locate the offenders,
although they have no clue as to their
identity. The horses are hard to iden-
tify, as they have no brands and are
very ordinary looking. One is bay
and the other n brown. Their weight
is about 300 pounds. The bay horse
has been injured by barbed wire and
the brown horse has peculiar white
mark on its forehead.

Every newspaper man, think,

iculty generally is to secure good land
at cheap price. amid congenial sur
roundings. in a fertile district. where
values are now low, but will soon rise.
These conditions prevail in the Lit

AFTER HARTMAN
PRESIDENT WILL INVESTIGATE
MERGER CASES.
BUSINESS BEFORE PLEASURE


Washington.-Presid Roosevelt
proposes to take into his own hands
the determination as to whether an at
tempt shall be made to break up the
Hartman railroad combination or not,
and has come to the conclusion that it
is his duty to study the case from be
ginning to end.
The President has been placed in n
position of antagonism to Mr.. Harri-
man, and on that account he Is particu-
larly DESTROYS that no step should be
taken by any department of the gov
eminent in such Il way as to leave the
impression that it was the result of
personal hostility OH the part of the
President himself.
To satisfy himself as to the exact sit
uation, the President proposes to read
al the testimony taken by the Inter
state Commerce Commission on this
subject Then he will have a confer
ence with Attorney General Bonaparte
and will ask the head of the Depart
ment of Justice to apply to the facts
the President submits to him
the general law in the case. and partic-
ularly that laid down by the United
States Supreme Court In the Northern
Securities case.
All this will take time and ii will in
volve an immense amount Of personal
labor on the part of President Roose-
welt. He may have to give up a good
deal of his vacation time, but 1t will be
done sooner or later, and when his de-
cision is made he will be satisfied with
1t, because II will be the result of per
sonal painstaking investigation, and
not the conclusion of a subordinate ar
rived at through partial or hurried
scrutiny.
This decision by President Roosevelt
to burden himself with the details OF
an exhaustive inquiry into n subject
SO vast that 1t is scarcely understood
even by the members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission itself, Will. it
is believed. satisfy both the people and

BROWN PALACE UNDER HAMMER
Denver's Finest Hotel to be Sold by
Sheriff to Satisfy Mortgage.

Denyer.-The Brown Palace hotel
will be sold at auction to the highest
bidder within less than sixty days. and
the money realized will go to the cree
ton of huge office building on five
lots at Seventeenth and Stout streets.
to cost about 100000.
The famous Stratton mortgage on
the property, on which an option was
given at a price of $650,000, has been
transferred to investors who are not
inimical to further proceedings, ana 1t
will be foreclosed at once.
Within n few DAYS the great hotel
will be advertised for sherin's sale. AT
the end of thirty days, which Is the
time required by law for the public no
tice. the purchaser will take over the
property, and the famous litigation VIII
be closed.
The legal complications which have
held this immensely valuable hotel in
an unsettled condition date back
nearly five years. when Winfield Scott
Stratton died. He held a mortgage on
the Brown Palace hotel, and on his
deathbed gave an option of purchase
to Michael j. Finnerty for approx
mately $3.50, 900. The option was later
transferred to Finnerty's assigne, who
has since held 1t.
The executors of the Stratton cs-
tate were ready to foreclose the mort
gage and settle the ownership OF the
hotel. Finnerty's assignee thereupon
began suit to act on the option, claim
ing that he had $650,0O0 with which
10 make the purchase. The Stratton
executors bitterly contested the case,
ana won 1t before the Supreme Court.
The plaintiff made another attempt.
carried it through all the courts to the
IA !uh frih nnl fharn rpraiyal
favorable decision.
Meanwhile the hotel was being
leased literally by the month. on ac'
count of the unsettled condition of its
ownership. The profits were turned
over to receiver for the creditors,
from whom they secured the benefits
due them.
