sHADowED IN WALL STREET.

Thomas F. Ryan Employs More De-
 tectives Than Any Other Big Finan-
 cier.
 The are branches of detective work in the financial district that are wholly beneficial in their nature For instance, the president of bank plans to promote a man who has served the institution faittlfully for years, to a position O ftrust, where the safety of great sums will depend largely upon his honesty The president knows all about the man during. business hours. He may know. something about his home life, church connections, and the like. Detectives are put on his trail. They shadow him day and night for a week, a month, or until the president, is satisfied. All the time the subject of this watchfulness is ignorant of the micropscopic scrutiny to which his every ,act is being sub jected.
 There are men in every bank and trust company who rail at the fla voritism" shown Jim Brown, Dick Smith, or Tom Jones, who have been promoted over their heads and pushed along into executive positions of power. They cannot understand, ex- cept on the theory that they are not favorites of fortune, why they them selves have been ignored year after year when promotions were made and they were logically in line. Per- haps if they could see some of the secret reports of detectives wilo have followed them around at night, new light would be thrown on the mys- tery of their hard luck" Thomas F. Ryan probably employs detectives more extensively in his financial oper- ations than any other man in the Wall Street District. He is credited with having developed the use of them to a positive science. All of his lawyers -and ne has an enormous staff of them-are experts in handling detec- tives and in finding ways of getting valuable information for their client. Mir Ryan is wonderfully cautious. It is said that whenever he plans to deal with man whom he does not already know intimately, he invariably puts detectives on the heels of that man and finds out everything possible about him. The value of information of this kind can easily be imagined. To MT. Ryan the man with whom he is deal ing is an open book. His weak spots, If he has any, MT. Ryan can calmly point to at the moment when the situation demands such disclos- ure.
 The Standard OH group of financiers do not demand upon outside agencies for their detective work. They have ability and highly paid. Frequently one of their men employs agency de- tectives to do certain kinds of work, but the chiefs of Standard Oil are never known in the transaction. An immense amount of valuable informa- ton is brought to the Standard Oil leaders gratultously by bank directors railroad officers, mining experts, and others who hope in that way to ac- quire the friendship of 26 Broadway v This gratuitous service reduces the amount of detective work to be done by the Rockefeller-Rogers crowd, Facts of the kind coast money, but they are immensely valuable at times in Wall Street deals. In one sense the wholesale employment of detectives by the modern kings of finance and by

Rumored Gold Find at Rideeway.

A dispatch has been sent from
Ridgeway, this county, to the Min
neapolis Journal. which if true, will
share with the Dan Patch Air Line
in interest:
Ridgeway, Iowa, July 27.-Great
excitement exists here over the dis
closure of the fact that gold has been
found in the clay and sand deposits
on the farms of Omar Provin and j.
M. Lilly, east of here.
The fact became known through
the presence Of mysteri GUS old man
and his son, who have been per-
sistently seeking to lease the mining
rights to the two farms.
Rumor says that many years ago
the old man and his brother discover
ed the gold while on hunting trip.
They had not sufficient money to put
in plant to mine the gold on pay.

matter secret until they could raise

Destructive Hail Storm.

This section of the county was
visited by destructive wind and hail
storm Wednesday afternoon, and as
far as can be learned did thousands of
dollars worth of damage to crops,
corn and small grain alike being lite
rally pounded into the ground.
The storm formed about one-half
mile east of Fort Atkinson, and swept
in a southeasterly direction, destroy.
ing nearly one-fourth of the crop in
its path. 1t is estimated that the
torm-swept district will cover four
miles in width and extends as far east
as Castalia, although many farms be-
tween the starting point and the end
of the storm were not touched. While
the farmers in the vicinity of Fort
Atkinson will lose one-fourth of their
crop, the farmers east of Festina suf.
fered greater loss.
AS far as could be ascertained the
storms course was, direct east from
Festina, many of the farms in that
vicinity, and within three miles of
Ossian, being totally laid waste of
their entire crops. We are informed
that Joseph Imoehl, Patrick Collins,
and others on the Festina- Ossian road.
lost everything, including garden
truck. William Doerr and farmers in
his neighborhood suffered losses, but
these will harvest about half crop.
The worst part Of the storm missed
Ossian, the damage being done south
of town, although no great damage in
our immediate vicinity has been re-
ported. West of Ossian the damage is
great, the storm sweeping nearly
everything to within mile or two OF
Castalia. Thomas Boyle, Roy Bach
elder, A. p. Cornell, and others along
that line suffered heavy damages.
The James Peyer and Ed Dowd wind
mills were blown down, and big
granary on the Althaus farm was
moved six feet. Farther south James
Nj. Peyer and Fred Liebold lost nearly
all their crops; others in that vicinity
are also heavy losers. .-Ossian Bee.

Wonderful il True.

The London Express prints a story
of the discovery near Glastonbury
Abbey of glass vessel of beautiful
workmanship and apparent great an
tiquity, which one at least of the dis
coverers believes to be the "holy
grail of Arthurian legend. The
"holy grail" is the cup from which
Christ drank at the last supper,
which, according to an ancient Brit
ish tradition, was brought to this
country by Joseph of Arimathea after
the crucifxion. The newspapers
story of the discovery and subsequent
investigation into the authenticity of
the cup is mixed up with the clair
voyant dream experiences of DR..
Goodchild, an antiquarian of Bath.
and Mr.. Pole, grain merchant OF
Bristol. Their visions, as described
by the Express, might, if clothed in
medieval language, make a fitting
chapter for Arthurian story books.
The one hard fact is the vessel,
which. it is alleged, was found in
consequence of Mr.. Poles vision. 1t
is beautiful work of art, of blush
green glass of some kind, cunningly
inlaid with silver leaf. 1t was found
in a shallow we'll near the abbey,
where it seems to have been secretly
and reverently placed in 1898 by Mr..
Goodchild, who brought it from Bor-
dighera in 1885 on the strength of
mysterious information that it was
the actual grail. Pole communicated
his discovery to a digintary Of the
Church of England, who summoned a
number of eminent persons, including
psychologists, to see and discuss
Forty attended, including some peers
with ecclestical interests. Ambassa-
dor Whitelaw Reid, Prof. Crookes
and ministers of various religious
bodies, including the Rev. r. j..
Campbell. They heard Poles story
with deep attention, but could not
prove the genuineness of the relic,
which now is in the possession OF
Prof. Crookes, who has undertaken to
investigate the whole mystery.

A Microhe We RaYe.

ID id you ever notice that talk"
doesn't hurt man much? Perfection
isn't looked for in man, and when
some one tries to injure a man by
ranting about few faults he has, the
absent one, who is probably attend
ing to his own affairs, is elevated in
the hearers estimation, while the in
formant is lowered accordingly. If a
man knocks along, doing fairly we'll,
people realize that while he has some
faults, he has more virtues, and they
are charitable enough to overlook
these faults. But it is different with
a girl or woman. No matter how
good and pure woman may be, let
some one start an infamous lie about
her and everyone is willing to pass it
along, and there is someone to believe
it. That lie can never be lived down.
It may burn low but gossip lovers are
ready with new fuel. Did you ever
notice how damnably mean some
goody -goodl people are in this re-
spect?-Ex.

Haugen for Cannon.

Congressman Haugen has written a
letter in which he expresses decided
preference for Speaker Cannon as the
successor of President Roosevelt:
"'Uncle joe Cannon's splendid
public career is ready to ripen into a
term in the whi house." said Con-
gresham Haugen, who has represented
the Fourth Iowa district in congress
for four terms, in an interview here
today.
Representative Haugen was elcted
for his fourth term last November,
receiving tremendous majority over
the combined democratic, socialist
and populist opposition.
Congressman Haugen believes that
Speaker Cannon should be nominated
and that. ii nominated, he will sweep
the country as the nominee of the re-
publican party.
His exceptional ability: his long
years of experience in the house, as
chairman of the appropriations COM
mittee and as speaker, eminently fits
him for the highest office within the
gift of the people," continued Mr..
Haugen. His faithfulness and 10y
ality to his country and party have
earned for him further consideration
and honor. He has mastered the art
of craftsmanship; he we'll knows the
growing needs of this great country !;
he is keen. alert. fearless, and honest.
"All those who know him intimate
ly respect his integrity and fairness.
His career is an open book, and is
well known the country over. His
popularity with the people and MEM
bers of his party was well demon
strated by the rousing ovation given
him at the national convention in 1904
when he appeared before that body.
"The entire country, and especially
the middle west, would be proud of
him as chief sponsor for his party and
country. He would give a safe. con-
scientious, and able administration.

Here is a specimen from Ludington,
Mich. While under the influence Of
liquor Jens Jenson fell off the stern of
the ferry boat Ralph Cooper today and
went down in eighty feet of water.
Capt. Sterling backed his boat to the
spot which was located by the bubbles
sent to the surface by the drowning
man. Jenson finally came to the sur
face and was fished out with a pike
pole. Upon regaining the deck of the
boat the rescued man became abusive
and swore violently at his rescuers fol-
tearing his clothes.
And here is another from Atlanta,
Ga. The heat was so intense here
today that in crate of eggs which
was being driven along the streets al
noon twelve chickens were hatched.
The driver almost dropped the egg
when he heard peep, peep" as he
was carrying them into the store,
The twelve chickens are healthy and
promise to develop. The eggs came
from Tennessee to Atlanta.
