FOUL GRIM" Comp 'As CITY
state Library ...,nsas Side of the Raw
rNIIIed and His Wife Fatally
Wounded.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 16.-Louis b.
Sternberg, a grocer at Fourth street
and Walker avenue, in Kansas City,
Kan, was killed and his wife, Mrs,
Hattie Sternberg, was fatally in
jured by unknown robbers, who at
tackled them and. robbed them in their
store Sunday. The victims of the out
rage were not found until II hours
later. An open can of sardines on
a counter, long iron bolt and a
bloody meat cleaver near the bodies
of Mr.. and Mrs. Sternberg supply the
evidence of how the crime was COM
mitted. 1t is believed that the rob-
bers asked for the sardines and as
the grocer placed the open box be-
fore them, they struck him down with
the iron bolt and then beat his head
into pulp. The robbers then en-
tered the living apartments back of
the store and attacked Mrs. Stern
berg with the meat cleaver. They
split open her head and knocked out
one of her eyes, besides inflicting sew
eral brutal wounds on her body. She
cannot live through night.
Sternberg, who was AZ years old,
recently took $500 from a bank and
it is believed the robbers thought the
was boarded in the store.
They secured about $75.

MOTION FILED TOO LATE.
Land Pirates Compelled to Seek i
Higher Court.

BOISE, Ida, Dec. 16.-Judge Diet
rich of the United States court held
today that he had no jurisdiction to
hear the motion for a new trial in
the Kester-Kettenbach case from
Lewiston. This is for the reason that
the term of court at which the de-
PENDANTS were convicted has ad-
journed and the judge has no author
ity to hear such a motion in Grim
inal case in chambers. After the de-
cision had been rendered the defend
ants perfected their appeal to the cir
cult court of appeals and filed their
bonds.
The defendants were convicted at
Moscow last spring on a charge of
timber land conspiracy. They filed a
large number of affidavits in support
of the motion for new trial, alleg-
ing improper methods of influencing
jurymen and other Irregularities.

Local Banks Will be Ready
For Retirement of
Checks With Others.
IN EXCELLENT SHAPE
First National, Says Cashier Witcher
Is Better Off Than Before Strin.
sency-..Conditions Are Easy.

Whenever their correspondents,
from whom they drew the greater
amount of cash paid over their coun
ters, are ready to resume cash pay
ments the banks of Ely will resume
payment of cash and will take up the
scrip, or cashiers checks which they
have out in form of temporary money.
Certainly we shall be ready to re-
sumo payment of gold and currency
whenever the banks of the large cit
les, with which our funds are deposit
ed, will make announcement that
they are going to start these pay
ments,' said Cashier Witcher of the
First National bank yesterday to a
News reporter. Until this move is
made by the banks of the large cities
we cannot do so, however.
when the news came that no more
currency could be furnished us for a
time, we were taken by surprise, but
luckily had a good supply of ready
cash on hand. This we have kept
practically intact and the bank is to-
day in as good, if not better condi-
ton than when the currency ship
ments were stopped.
Locally the money situation is
much freer We have been paying
out portion of the pay rolls in cash
and this money circulation has re-
lieved the tension in this district to
a marked degree.
II cannot set time, of course, as
to when currency will take the place
of the cashiers checks we have issued
but | do not believe it to be far Off
The time depends entirely on the big
city banks, however, as we shall keep
our cash reserve intact until such
time as they announce resumption of
cash payment and again resume cur
rency shipments to us.

HARDEN WILL
FACE A COURT
Again, to Determine Whether Count
Won MOItke Was CriminaIIy
SIandered In Stories.

BERLIN, Dee 16.-The effort of
Count Kuno Won Moltke to vindicate
himself in the trial which resulted
from accusations made by Macmillan
Harden, editor of Die Zukunft, hav-
case will now be taken up by the
states attorney before IA criminal
bench of five judges.
The second trial of Herr Harden
will begin today and fresh revelations
are awaited with tense expectancy by
the public, because it is believed that
much new testimony will be brought
out concerning the so-called camar-
lila sorrunding the emperor. Prince
Philip Zu Gutenberg, Count Moltke' S
divorced wife, Frau ven Elbe, and
her son, Lieutenant Won Kruse, are
among the witnesses who will be
called 1t is by no means certain that
the judges will allow the testimony
to take range wide enough to elicit
political secrets of the court or any
thing that may touch directly the
person of the emperor.
The causes that have brought
about a new trial by the ministry of
Justice are SOIlcMlldI ObStuit Z, bht II
has been regarded by the sober part
of the community that Count Won
Moltke was not well supported in the
first trial and that the testimony was
not sufficiently limited to the legal
issues.
The powerful classes have felt that
they were compromised by the pro-
ceedings and verdict of the lower
court. The officers of the corps re-
sented the broad assertion against the
morality and honor of the army, and
strong royalists felt that the princi-
pie of monarchy had lost prestige.
The conservatives generally regarded
the country as having been damaged
in foreign eyes.
Whatever may have been the con-
siderations, the ministry of justice
simply wiped out the findings of the
magistrate and took up the affair as
though it had never been tried be-
fore, instituting proceedings against
Herr Harden for having criminally
wronged Count Won Moltke. Efforts
have been made at the eleventh hour
TO compromise the case, but Herr
Harden declined to sign the declara-
ton demanded by Won Moltke

Former Butte Man Says
This Camp Is Biggest
In the Country.
TAKES WORD TO EAST.
Talk Has Sounded Big, Inspection
of Cumberland Ely and New.
ada Con. Makes 1t Small.

F. C. Aver and Frank w. Holmes
York, Mr.. Holmes to resume his du-
ties in that city as treasurer with the
Ely To%nsite company, and the Con-
solidated Copper company, and Mr..
Aver to take up legal matters at that
end with reference to properties of
the allied interests in this district.
He expects to return to Ely City in
four or five months Though his
headquarters are in New York, Mr.
Aver has found local climatic condi-
tions and general surroundings so
agreeable in the last several months
that he is 10th to look upon a stay
of length in the east, fact that is
agreeable to many friends he has
made here and who will be pleased
to see him back, the earlier the bet
ter.
Mr.. Holmes arrived in the city last
week Since here he has visited the
mines, the smelter and concentrator
With Mr. Aver he will take east en-
sions of Cumberland Ely and Nevada
Consolidated, particularly with refer
ence to the mines of the companies
and the immense ore reserves they
have blocked out awaiting the time
of regular shipments. Mr.. Holmes is
Butte man and not unfamiliar with
big bodies of copper ore. His opinion
therefore on copper camp is of
more than ordinary value. Familiar
ity with the mines of Butte, too, MAKE es
it necessary for copper property to
look and be big before it gets much
praise. What Mr.. Holmes has to say
about the mines of Cumberland Ely
and Nevada Consolidated leaves no
doubt as to his belief in their worth.
without question" said Mr.. Holmes
yesterday, the greatest ore bodies
ever saw are here. In magnitude, tie
proven ore deposits of the district
have Butte distanced today. That
camp does not compare with this in
resources which Cumberland Ely and
Nevada Consolidated have opened.
The Veteran mine of Cumberland Ely
and the Ruth of Nevada Consolidated,
are wonders. In the Veteran they
are continuing right ahead in the pay
ore. | found ore in sight in this
mine everywhere and no limit in sight
or prospect. Much has been told con-
cerning these properties in the east,
but one can have no conception OF
their greatness until he sees with his
own eyes. in my own case, | heard
much about the properties and
charged some of it at least to en-
thusiasm. 1t sounded too big to me
to be all within the bounds of actual
facts. Since going through the mines,
however, | am ready to go back and
talk little bigger than those | have
heard. Instead of enlarging on facts
those whom | doubted were alto
gether conservative. There is more
here than any man can tell. The
work that has been done has shown
tremendous things, the biggest cop
per camp in the country, and still
only a beginning has been made.

PRES. WILL
Be PRESENT
Roosevelt Will Give Official Send
Off to Great Atlantic Squadron
Which Sails This Morning.

OLD POINT COMFORT, Va, Dec
l6.-Amid the booming of the presi-
dental salute President Roosevelt is
expected to arrive in Hampton Rhodes
this morning at o'clock to officially
start the Atlantic fleet on its long
journey through the Straits of Ma
gelan to the Pacific coast or as the
officials orders read, to the west
coast of the United States.' The
coming of the president will be timed
as nearly as possible to o'clock, for
before that time no salute can be
fired under the naval regulations.
Time will figure heavily in the pro-
ceedings and the reception to be tend
cred to Admiral Robley ID. Evans
commander of the fleet, and his COM
manding and flag officers, will be
brief and more or less informal, when
they go aboard the Mayhower to pay
their respects to the nations chief
executive. AT 10 o'clock it is expect
ed that the start will be made and in
two hours from that time the first OF
the fighting ships should have cleared
the Virginia capes and be well out
to sea, steering southward.
The sailors were recalled from
shore leave Sunday morning at 10
O'Clock and the articles of war read
to them. More personal speeches
were delivered to them, impressine
their duty to country and to their uni
form. Especial stress was laid on
their conduct while ashore in South
American ports, all being urged to dc
everything in their power to do moth
ing which would tend to degrade
their self respect or their country in
foreign eyes. All seemed much I'M

LIFE INSURANCE ACTIVITY.
The New York Life's Business Nearly
Up to the Legal Limit.

The New York Life Insurance Com.
pany announces that it's new paid
business during the half year Just end
ed was over seventy million dollars.
AS the new law allows no life com
pany to write over one hundred and
fifty millions per year, it would ap-
pear that this company is working
nearly up to the limit. The New
York Life gained such headway be.
lore the law was passed and suffered
10 little, comparatively, from the Arm
strong investigation, that the question
with its management has been how to
keep business down to the limit, rath.
er than how to reach it. No other
company is writing nearly as much
as the law allows. The New York
Life has evidently become a pre-
terred company.
The company's payments TO policy
holders during the six months end
Ing June 80 were $21, ,660,761. 1t is
Interesting to note that this amount
was almost equally divided between
payments under policies maturing by
death and payments made to living
policy holders. Thus, while death
claims were S11,1S0,626, the amount
paid for matured endowments, annu-
tiles, trust fund installments, for pur-
chased policies and for dividends was
s10,4S0,135. Modern life insurance, as
practiced by the best companies, en-
braces a wide field, and covers many
contingencies. 1t Is money saved for
the aged, as well as money provided
Tor the families of those who die pre-.
maturely.

Courtesy at Home.

We are all creatures of habit
men and women alike, and the habits
and surroundings Of daily life have a
powerful influence on the character Of
both. The root of all bad manners IS
ielfishness when self ever is first, fore
most consideration for others always
lags much in the rear, and drops so
Tar behind in time that it disappears
altogether. Zone cannot keep up the
ceremony and etiquette of society
when at home" True, for between
friends these can be laid aside. They
merely are the rivets that keep So
dety together. but not courtesy and
consideration. The latter ought to
be SO much the habit with each of us
that 1t will become our second nature,
and therefore can be no more laid
lside than can an arm or leg
