poisoning, but the accused parties are now in jail and the case is be- ing looked into carefully. Lie. Mendoza was one of the best known lawyers in the city, and the case has caused considerable excitement.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: Tn the general demand of the leading rail- roads of the country for new freight tariffs the Mexican government has refused to allow any raise in that of grain, such as wheat, corn, barley and oats. The general rate on grains is 2 to 2! cents per ton per kilometer.
 Mexican Herald: Luz Hurtado, belonging to we'll known family in Toluca, has been arrested in connection with the shooting of Reperto c. Mercado, who died yes terday at 2p. m. It is believed that the murder was the result of the amorous attentions of the mur- dered man to the niece of Hurtado.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: The State Congress has authorized Act ing Gov. Sanchez to contract with the local banks under the most favorable conditions possible loan of $600,000 to complete the public work now in progress. These will include such matters as the state penitentiary, the Chuviscar dam, etc.
 Mexican Herald; Clarence A. Miller, of Kansas City, the newly appointed United States consul at Matamoros, has arrived and taken charge of the consulate, vice P. Merrill Griffith of Ohio. Mir. Grif- filth had the position for the past seven years. He has been ap- pointed as consul at Tampico and has already left for that place.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: Mexican Central officials in Mexico City say they fail to notice any decline in ore shipments, since the financial furry began, although statistics for the month are not yet complied Agents of foreign lines in Mexico on the other hand, report heavy decrease in ores shipped to the States. NJ. c. officials say they do not anticipate any great decline.
 Mexican Herald: A rather novel report has come to Puebla of the robbery of the hacienda de Santa Ana, in the district of Tepeji, when the proprietor, Jose Huerta, lost considerable sum in valuable taken away. Farm robberies are as rare in this section as they are in most rural districts in the United States, and any such loss is worthy of con- siderable note.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: British shareholders in the Interoceanic railroad, now a government-con- trolled property, are protesting that so many improvements are being made that there are no dividends and they will be forced to sell. The government has denied the charge but admits that it has no intention of letting the roadbed and rolling stock go to ruin in order to boost shares for the benefit of spectators.
 Mexican Herald: Investigation by American Consul T. D. Edwards has developed the fact that John

 Chihuahua Enterprise: A Tor. reon dispatch says: Farmers just arrived here from the Laguna district believe that the cotton crop will be very poor this year. The most optimistic agriculturists do not expect to collect over p per cent of what they had originally counted upon. This is due to scarcity of rains. As cottcn grow CTS have begun to raise their prices very considerably, manufacturers are ordering cotton from the United States, which is cheaper.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: The na- tional Congress is considering bill to permit the registration of commercial parcels with the priv ilege of sending them c. o. D. to any money order office. The reg istration fee for letters, parcels or printed matter will be ten cents, with an additional fee of ten cents for collection of value from the consignee. In case of loss indem- nity to amount of $10 will be paid except when caused by wreck, fire or similar disaster. The postmaster will be authorized to establish a special delivery for registered par cels.
 Mexican Herald: Last night at 12:30 a verdict was rendered con- demning to death Cipriano Ron- quillo and Genaro Ortega for the murder of Tomasa Alvarez, mis- tsess of the former. Rita Arteaga, who was charged with complicity in the murder, was acquitted. Rita Arteaga testified that the Alvarez woman was killed because she manifested her intention of de- nouncing Ronquillo to the police for certain crimes he and his friends had committed. She also said that Ortega was present at the time of the murder and aided Ron- quillo in the crime.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: It is re- ported that the tobaco crop in the chief tobacco growing districts of Mexico promises to be abundant, and in the event of the weather continuing favorable the crop will undoubtedly be of very fine quali- ty. As there is very little of the old tobacco crop left and that practically cornered by the larger dealers at Orizaba, the prices of the new crop will undoubtedly be high. Owing to the fact that for sev- eral years past the tobacco has not been of superior quality, a heavy demand for export is expected. At the present time there are quite number of foreign representatives in the tobacco district with the purpose of arranging for the Jan 1arv orOn

.EMBEzZLER MAY GO FREE
Much Sympathy Felt in Sedan for Otto
ID. StaIIard.

Sedan. Kan, Aug. 19.-Otto D. Stall
lard, the defaulting cashier of the Pec-
pies National bank of this city, is con-
fined to his bed by severe illness. This
fact may mean another delay in his case
and may result in his not being sem
fenced at the coming term of court for
the embezzlement of about $4,000 of
the banks funds last fall BY agree
ment at the April term Stallard was
given until September to get his affairs
into shape and at that time he was to
plead guilty to embezzlement and take
a penitentiary sentence. He has kept
his word to the letter and his illness at
this time is brought on directly by the
hard work he has done this summer in
raising a crop. He has been in his fields
at daylight and worked until dark This
and the worry over his case has reduced
him in weight until now few would
recognize min. as the jovial, prosperous,
healthy banker of other days.
Public sentiment here has softened
toward Stallard, although at no time
was it ever hostile to him. He has al
ways been a general favorite here and
his personality has seemed able to make
the citizens almost forget his crime.
Now that he is wasted by disease and
worry people feel more kindly toward
him than ever. ]. K. Tuiloss, the presi-
dent of the bank, who had sworn to the
warrant against Stallard, is dead, and
it will be necessary for someone else to
make formal complaint against the de-
faulting cashier. 1t may be hard to find
anyone to do this unless the county at
torney himself. a lifelong friend of
Stallard, cares to do it.
Stallard, who was cashier of the
Peoples National bank, left the town
after banking hours September IS,
1906. He was not heard from by the
citizens again until the day after
Christmas when he returned with his
wife When he felt that he could no
longer conceal his shortage in the
bank and after he had given up hope
of being able to replace the money
he took $500, gave 1875 OF it to his
wife and started south on his horse.
He went to Dallas, Tex, where he
worked as a day laborer. A week
before Christmas he wrote to his wife
and told her where he was. She went
at once to Dallas and together they
returned to Sedan. Stallard made no
denial of the shortage. He asked to
be allowed to till his farm one sea-
son so that his family might have some
means of subsistence while he was in
prison. Public sympathy was with
him to such an extent that the county
attorney granted him the privilege
with the understanding that he would
plead guilty to embezzlement at the
fall term of court

BUYING UP LANDS.
Government Is Acquiring Titles in the
Canal Zone.

Washington. Aug. 19.-Gradually
the government of the United States
through the Isthmian Canal commits
sion is obtaining title to all the lands
it needs in te chanal zone ceded by
the Panama government for canal
purposes. Some of these tracts were
in the hands of private parties when
the grant was made and negotiations
with them or other proceedings have
been necessary to secure title. In some
instances this has bee accomplished
without any great difficulty and at
almost nominal prices, but in others
the commission or arbitration ap-
pointed for that purpose has not been
so fortunate.
In one case the owners were In
sistent asking price a score or more
times than the commission was will
ing to give. During the recent meet
ing of the arbitration commission an
agreement was. reached on the price
to. be paid to the owners for three
islands, in Panama bay and for the
improvements now there. They also
agreed on the amount to be paid to
certain property owners in Panama
who had claims pending for damag ges
done by a big fire which swept the
city several year sago.s

Leslie M. Shaw Says People Get
What They Expect.
financial Disasters Are Always
Due to Agitation.
NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Real Sources of Wealth Have
Not Been Affected.
Capital Can Be Drawn Out, But
Not Forced In.

New York, Aug. 19.-Leslie NJ,
Shaw, former secretary of the treas
ury. has authorized the following in
terview on the present financial and
Industrial conditions:
"Our farms produce more than $6.-
100000 per annum and the pros
pect is good for an average crop. Our
mines yield more than $500, 100000,
and our forests more than $1,000, ,000,-
600. And neither of these sources OF
wealth has been exhausted. The out
put of our factories in other than
food products is $4,000, 900, and
no fires have been extinguished. The
railways earn more than $2,0O0,0O0,-
600 and they are all in successful oper-
alton.
The payrolls of our factories and
railways aggregate approximately $3.-
SOC. 100000 and the scale of wages has
not been reduced. In other words. the
real sources of the peoples wealth
have not yet been affected and the
ability of industrial concerns to pay
dividends is not measured by the mar
ket price of tn cir stocks. Logical rea-
sons for serious conditions are there
fore wanting. Psychological reasons
are never wanting
"If 1 judge correctly the people will
have exactly what they expect. If
those who have money In the banks
withdraw it and lock it up; if the
banks refuse to grant accommoda-
tions and if the consuming public de-
cline to place orders. then we will very
soon witness the effects. Let those
who think that times of disaster fol-
low each other at regular intervals
bear in mind that this country never
yet experienced period of severe de-
preston that was not traceable to
financial or economic agitation or leg
islation, and usually to both.
''In 1893 the redemption of green
backs in silver instead of gold was
openly advocated; the party in power
was under promise to remove the pro-
tective tariff from our industries and
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of 6 to 1 was championed by promi-
nent members of both parties. The
country might have survived any one
Of these sources of alarm but it could
not survive all three
"At this time no one questions our
financial system and the tariff Will
not be touched for at least eighteen
months. Some check in the speed at
which we are going is most desirable,
and the checking process has probably
begun. 1t will require a fair measure
of confidence and courage to prevent
undue rctardment in our industries

The Meade County Globe says:
''As the boom for governor is now
on the Globe would like to suggest
that the man for that office come from
the short grass country. Most any
good man with backbone and good
common sense will do. AS to the man
we would suggest Judge Price of Clark
county, Mike Sutton of Ford county or
George B. Cones of Meade county.
cones was elected county treasurer
IN 1887; was elected to legislature In
1895; stood right on every measure.
Made a good record. He has good
ability and has large and varied in
tereSts.'
They are beginning to talk about
Republican candidates for the state
senate in the Thirty-seventh senatorial
district. which is the district which has
been represented by T. A. Noftzger.
Barber county has two candidates
J. Policy and J. N. Tincher. In speak
ing of the situation from a Democratic
standpoint, the Medicine Lodge Index
says:
"It has been understood among poll
ticians of more or less prominence that
when Senator Tom Noftzger was re-
nominated in 1904. he then and there
agreed that after he had given the
railroads and other corporations of the
state four more years of substantial
service, he would turn the keys of his
high Office over to a Barber county
states man. Thereupon the very elect
who shape affairs for the party locally
got together and handed the nomina-
ton so far as Barber county is con-
cerned, to j. Policy.
''Mr. Tincher's candidacy was re-
ceived with great favor at Dodge. He
has been promised Harper, Barber and
Ford counties which. if the manipu-
lators attend to the appointment prop
erly, is sufficient to nominate. The dis
trict is composed of Harper, Barber,
Kiowa Comanche, Clark Meade, Gray
and Ford counties.
s'While Policy is in sympathy with
the machine crowd and while his en-
tire schooling has been in that camp,
he is capable of revising his platform
for the sake of votes and he will be
lation and every other square deal de-
mand If it become necessary, but in
the event of his success we look for
him to perform much the same as
Senator NOftzer did who is now the
deadest politician in the state. When
Policy first broke into politics he made
the greatest mistake of his life in re-
nouncinC his early Democratic train
ing and going headlong into the Re-
publican camp and now he is about to
add to his blunders and fall into the
legislature and thence into oblivion.
We are sorry for him but others be-
fore him have made the same mistake
and we presume he. like they. must
There are several plausible reasons
why Adam ate the apple, but we can
see no inducement ahead of a machine
Republican to deliberately take a seat
in the legislature in these strenuous
times"
