During the past few days there have
been financial disasters greater that
any that have occurred for some
decades. Several large trust COM
panIes and banks have either gone
under or have withered the storm
only by large assistance from those
anxious to prevent general panic,
and the failure of several large manu-
featuring companies has added to the
excitement. The explanation of these
financial troubles has been sought by
some in the President $ many speeches
of late ON the relation of the law to
capital, and especially to large corpor-
ations. He has, it Is asserted. des-
troyed confidence. Confluence has
certainly been destroyed That is the
meaning of such a panic as we have
been passing through. But any ex-
plana tion of the finacnial crisis which
overl7Uks the fact that confidence has
been steadily undermined by the re-

No NEED FOR EXTRA
SESSION SAYS REP,
Such is the BeliefOf Congress.
man James H. David
son.

Oshkosh, Wis.,, Nov. 4-In an in
terview today Congressman James H.
Davidson of this city made a state
ment in which he said that he does
not believe that an extra session of
congress, as urged by financial leaders
in the East, would be a real benefit
and he considers that it would simply
alarm the public. He believes the
call upon President Roosevelt for an
extra session is simply scheme to
secure Legislation to permit the banks
to issue asset currency. He says he
does not believe their is any cause for
apprehension and thinks that the
situation at present dues not warrant
the rush TOR an extra session to pass
legislation that may prove serious
later. He thinks it unwise and I'M
necessary.
He believes the president ideas on
the control Of the corporations can be
carried out at the regular session
which begins soon.
He says that an extra session of
congress would not bring eradication
of suspicion Of American industrial
methods. That can not be brought
about. he thinks, by those engaged
in the financial business in great
financial centers, but those bankers
must show they deserve public con-
fidence by upright banking methods.

NEW POSTAL
ORDER IN FORCE
Not so Big Deposit Hereafter
in Buying Stamped En-
VelOpeS.

Postmaster Eberle has receiy ed
notice of an order just issued by Post
master General Meyer of general in
tere 20 business men and others who
purchase the stamped return en-, elopes
furnished by the government.
1t has been the rule that when L.
600 OF these envelopes were ordered,
the person ordering them had to de-
posit $2l.24 at the postoffice, which
sum was held by the government, al
though the envelopes were not receiv-
ed for twelve days or two weeks.
The new rule provides that but
S1.24, the cost of the envelopes, need
be deposited when thew are ordered.
The balance, $20-which covers the
cost of the stamps-may be paid when
the envelopes are received.
In view of the fact that the govern
ment receives orders for about 4, 200, :
600 of these envelopes each day for
which it received payment in advance
at the rate of $21- "a for each 1000,
the Importance of the new ruling may
be seen. The department will be de-
prived of about 81 900, 900 OF which It
has heretofore had the use of tor
twelve days or two weeks, thus keeb-
ing that amount of money out of cir
culation all Of the time.

way to her Church street home. The
scene of the attempted hold-up was near
the Solliday residence, in fact at the
driveway. A desperate attempt was
made to snatch handbag, containing
a purse. from the lady and the thug
might have been successful had it not
been for the fact that Mrs. Solliday
had wound the handle of the bag
around her wrist. She offered a
strenuous resistance and screamed for
help. The would bethel released
his hold and made himself very scarce
IN the neighbUrhcod, running through
the grounds adjacent to the residence.
Although the attempted robbery was
early in the evening, it was too dark
for the frighten ID lady to get very
good description of the hold intruder
as he approached from behind. All
that she was able to tell was that the
man wore a cap and was of small
stature Evidently the fellow had
concealed himself for the purpose of
ropbing sUme passerby. The matter
was not reported to the authorities till
yesterday morning.

Edward Buroff. the North Second

victim OF a swindIing game. On We'd
nesday, last, stranger called at his
place of business offering for sale a
valuable dog. for which the fellow
asked the fancy price of $50, after
giving lengthy pedigree of the

a book. The price was out of the
quetsion and. Mr. Burof refused to
enter into bargain. 1t was some
what of a Jew deal and the stranger
kept dropping in price till he reached
$40. At that figure. it is said the
bicycle dealer thought he was up
against a bargain and closed negoti-

pole. Things went smoothly till yes
terday, when W. @. Stone coachman
called at Mr.. Buroffs place and
claimed the dog, the same having

WITH BAD ACCIDENT
Frank BdSfOrd of GAINESVILLE
Receives a Bad Scalp
Wound.

Frank Basford of Evansville, an
engineer in the employ OF the North
western road, met with an unfOr tuna tie
accident at Jefferson last Saturday
evening. Mr.. Basford and his firemen
were about to fill the water tank when
the accident occurred. The gentlemen
experienced some difficulty in lower
ing the water trough aud in an attempt
to accomplish the task the fireman
secured long pole with a hook on
the end, used in cleaning the boilers.
The pole tell in such manner that
the hook struck Mr.. Rasford on the
head, cutting an ugly cash about four
inches in length. Despite the serious
ness of the injury. the engineer stuck
to his cab from Jefferson to Water
town, notwithstanding the fact that
he kept his head out of the cab
window, a steady stream of blood
oozing from the wound. Upon reach
ing this city, Mr.. Basford was taken
in charge by DR.. +. @. Moulding,
the local physician for the railway
company. 1t was necessary for the
doctor to take several stitches to
close the wound. While the injury
is not considered serious, it will be
several days before the victim of
the accident will be able to Iesume
his duties. Mr.. Basford has several
friends in this city. His run is be-
tween Watertown and GAINESVILLE.

A Narrow Escape.

If reports are true, 1t is mystery
that Fat O'Niel of the Seventh ward,
is in the land of the living. The party
called at the police headquarters in
the city building about 4 80 yesterday
morning with the appearance OF a
drowned rat' and related story
that almost took away the breath of
the night officers. Pat claimed that
he fell in the river and had a narrow
escape from going to a watery grave.
He was unable to tell the exact spot
where he fell into the water, but as
near as could be guessed from his
detailed account of he affair, it was
some where in the vicinity of the
Cady street bridge. How he got in
and how be got out was a mystery
to Pat and more of mystery to the
officers.

destroyed by tire, together with four
head of horses, a number of pigs,
several tons Of hay, quantity of
barley, three carriages and several
pieces of farm machinery. The
origin of the fire is somewhat of n
mystery, but if 10 thought to have
started by accidentally dropping a
match or spark from pipe. The
first lntimation of the fire was about
4 clock in the morning, when the
building was a mass Of flames and so
far along that it was utterly impossl-
BILE to save any of the contents.
Two OF the boys on the farm returned
home abot 2 CLOCK in the morning
and the superstition is that they drop
