NATIONS CASH is LOW.
Roosevelt Talks of Money FURRY

The financial situation was the
subject of a two hours confer
ence at the White House Sunday
between President Roosevelt and
Secretary of the Treasury Cor
telyou. The policy to be pursued
it was determined, will be mere
ly continuance of that which
was followed during the last
week.
More cities are expected to au-
thorize the issue of clearing
house certificates in order to
strengthen the condition of their
banks. The working balance of
the treasury has been reduced to
$50, 100000 as a result of the ac-
ton of Secretary Cortelyou in de-
posting some $44, 100000 in the
national banks of New York and
Pittsburg. About $12,000.O0O of
government funds are in the
hands of the disbursing officers.
Probably Secretary Cortelyou
can, with safety take $15,000,00O
to meet emergencies during the
coming week.
If there should be another
stringency reliance will have to
be placed in the New York fnan-
ciers who have done so much
in the last few DAYS for the credit
of the country.
According to what Secretary
Cortelyou told the president Sun
day there is plenty of money in
New York. as there is every
where. if people will only leave
it in the banks. He declared it
is far safer there than it can pos
siblv be in their homes. The
president is of the same opinion.
1t is the purpose of the admin
istration to facilitate the moving
and sale of crops in order that the
money which will be obtained
from this source may be secured
by the farmers and used by them
to meet their obligations.
Secretary of Agriculture Will
son said Sunday night that the
farmers will get more money for
their crops this year than they
got for those of last year. The
total value of all farm products
IN 1906 was $6.794 100000. This
enormous sum not only will
mean that there will be no hard
times for the country, but that
the prosperity which has blessed
it for dozen years will continue.
Secretary Wilson is unable to
see any danger in the financial
situation, believing it is entirely
confined to the speculative ele-
ment in New York. and he is con-
fdent that the next few weeks
will show that the farm and not
Wall street is the real barometer
of our financial welfare.
Secretary Wilson's confidence
that the total wealth produced
his year from farm products will
be greater than that of last year
is based partly upon the fact that
there is a scarcity of wheat and
other crops abroad and this has
contributed to the inc ease of
prices. Crops at home will not
be as large probably as those of
'906 except cotton. AS Secretary
Wilson said. everybody knows
the price of meat has gone up,
while the output of the packing
house products has increased.

PETER Helm DEAD.
Passes Away at 1000 O'Clock
This Morning.

Peter Helm, who was stricken
with paralysis at his home 3 miles
northeast of this city, Tuesday
afternoon, died Saturday morn
ing at 1000 o'clock. 1t was
known at the time of his afflic-
ton that he could not live, and
he has steadily failed, since that
time.
Deceased was SO years and 2
months old, at the time of his de-
mise. He was born and raised
on the old Helm farm now being
tenanted by Nicholas Dietle.
which farm is just across the road
from his present residence, and
he has lived in that neighbor-
hood all his life.
His wife Henrietta, preceded
him to the spiritual world on
April q, 1899. He is survived
by three children, Mrs. E. B. Mil
lener, residing IN Plymouth,
Charles, who teaches school and
lives near his fathers residence.
Schuyler, midshipman in the u.
S. Navy, and who was just about
to embark, from Pudget Sound,
and Russell, who was attending
Dental college, at Chicago.
The two latter children have
been notified and will be present
at the funeral. Schuyler left for
home Friday morning, and will
probably arrive about Monday
noon. No funeral arrangements
will be made until his arrival.
Mr.. Helm was brother-in-law
to John Wiltfong and Cephus
Firestone of this city.

ARGOS A DRY TOWN
BY A MAJORITY OF ~.
Judge Bernetha Decides that 291
Signatures are Legal.

Judge Bernetha pronounced
his decision on the Walnut town
ship liquor remonstrance case,
Thursday afternoon. He decided
that 291 of the signatures were
legal. As there are 579 voters in
Walnut township, the majority Is
~. Judgment will not be rem
dered, however, until the next
session of court, probably the
first day.
This concludes hard fought
liquor case, and means that the
saloons of Argos have been OPP

of the presentment of the remon-

Judge Jeff Pollard of St. Louis,
Mo-. who has achieved fame by
his pledge plan for reform of the
drunkard, Saturday applied the
same treatment for the common
scold. The result was so success
full the system undoubtedly will
be made permanent in the judges
court.
Mrs. Julia Otting. 25 years old,
was in court with her husband.
Neighbors said she ''nagged'him.
The husabnd refused to testify.
His silence, the judge thought,
was significant. He called the
wife before him. fined her $25,
and then for the first time in the
history of St. Louis. made public
the new cure for scolds. He told
Mrs. Citing if she would sign a
pledge to refrain from "nagging
her husband or using any but the
gentleSt language toward HIM Tor
year, execution of the fine
would be withheld. Mrs. Citing
signed.
Judge Pollard gave some ad-
vice about the proper treatment
of the husband and explained the
conditions of her parole. First,
she was made to apologize pub
licly to her husband. With him
she must appear before the Judge
at his home every Saturday night
during one month of probation.
The husband on these visits will
make report of her conduct. If at
any time during the year the
pledge is broken the fine against
her may be enforced.

the Canadian steamer Wexford.

lower lakes with cargo of grain
but that steamer reached Sault
Ste. Marie at / O'Clock Sunday
morning. A northwest gale has
prevailed on Lake Superior for
several davs, accompanied by
snow squalls. Many ships have

HADEN-PITTMAN
c entertainment
Was One Of the Best Yet Given
in WINFIELD and Was a
u GPeat Success.

The musical entertainment on
last Friday evening which was
given under the auspices of the
Ladies' Memorial Association,
was a success in every way.
While the crowd was not as large
as it should have been, yet a
great many of the lovers of music
were present and all expressed
themselves as being perfectly
charmed by the way in which Mr..
Haden. the blind musician, rem
dered the difficult pieces of music
on the piano and violin.
Mr.. Pittman, who is an ex-
tremely gifted story teller, enter
tanned the audience to the highest
degree of satisfaction.
To say the least of it, the entire
program was one of the best that
has ever been given in our town.
In fact, this is the kind of
program that tends to elevate the
people to a higher degree of
culture and an appreciation for
things refined. So we do not
wonder that many suggestions
were made, after the program
was completed, to have another
entertainment given by these
gifted gentlemen at an early date.
We heartily join this worthy
association in attempting to
secure such ideal entertainments
for the high cause which they
espouse.

Fatama Notes.


ratdHla, La, June 20, lyUI
Mr.. Editor-As it has beer
some time since have seen an,
thing in your paper from Fatama,
thought l would write a short
letter.
Crop prospects are sorry and
the weather dry. We haven I
had any rain In 26 days in our
immediate neighborhood. But
we are going to have the barbecue
anyway on the 4th at ID. g. Boy
ett's springs and we expect to see
Winfield very well represented.
Everybody is invited to come and
partake of the good things to eat
ani drink. 1 think there will be
several cold drink stands on the
ground to quench the thirst of
the people.
We had quite a crowd at Justice
court last Saturday.
Uncle John Smith was down
talking woman suffrage and social
Ism. He seems to think ward 3
would vote the Socialist ticket
right along if they had a chance.
What is the matter with The
Curry correspondent? / haven't
seen anything from his pen for
some time. l certainly enjoy
reading letters from different
parts of the parish.
Rev. Mr.. Brown will preach at
Beech Greek church on the fifth
Sunday. He breaches at Holly
Springs school house once a
month-every 6rst Sunday,
Some of our nelgL bors are talk
ing about selling out and going to

An experienced hand at the busi-
