ROOSEVELT DISCUSSES
THE MONEY SITUATION
Secretary Cortelyou Reports
on Measures Taken by
N. Y. Bankers.
PLENTY COIN IF LEFT ALONE
Treasury Reserve is Reduced by De-
posits Made in Gotham
Institutions.

Washington. D. C,-Oct. 27.-The f.
nancial situation was the subject Of a
two hours conference ia the White
house today between President Roose-
welt and Secretary of the Treasury
Cortelyou. The policy to be pursued
is was determined, viii be merely a
continuance of that which was followed
during the last week
More cities are expected to authorize
the issue of clearing house certificates
tomorrow in order to strengthen the
condition of their banks. The working
balance Of the treasury has been re-
duced to $20,000.000 as a result Of the
action Of Secretary Cortelyou in de-
posting some S44, 900. 900 in the national
banks in New York and Pittsburg.
About s12, 600. 900 of government funds
are in the hands of the disbursing Of
hcers. Probably Secretary Cartelyou
can, with safety take s15.OO0,0 to
meet emergencies during the coming
week.
If there should be another string
ency reliance will have to be placed
in the New York financiers who have
done so much in the last few days for
the credit OF the country.
Plenty of Money Everywhere.
you told the president today there is
plenty of money in New York, as there
is everywhere, If people will only leave
it in the banks He declared it is far
safer there than it can possibly be in
their homes. The president Is OF the
same opinion.
It is the purpose of the administra-
ton 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 Wilson said
tonight 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 S6,794, 600, 600. This enormous sum
will not only mean that there Will be no
hard times for the country, but that the
prosperity which has blessed 1t for a
dozen years will continue
Puts Faith on Farm.
Secretary Wilson is unable to see any
danger in the financial situation, be-
Iieving 1T is entirely confined to the
speculative element in New York. and
he is confident that the next few weeks
will show that the farm and not Wall
street is the real barometer of our f.
nancial welfare.
Secretary wilson's confidence that the
total wealth produced this year from
farm products will be greater than thai
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 increase of prices
Crops at home will not be as large
probably as those of 1906 except cotton
As Secretary Wilson said. everybody
knows the price OF meat has gone up
while the output of the packing house
praducts has increased.

Cardinal Gibbons Believes
tuberculosis Will be Eff
fectually Checked.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2S.-Cardinal
Gibbons, in a letter to DR.. John S. Full
ton, secretary general Of the interna-
tionaI congress Of tuberculosis, which
is to meet here next autumn, expresses
the belief that the dreaded white plague
at some day in the not distant future
Will be brought under as complete con-
troll s smallpox. yellow fever and other
ecourges of humanity have been.
Predicts Control of ScOurge.
He says in part:
My faith in the ultimate checking
OF tuberculosis throughout the world IS
based upon my own remembrance of
that other scourge, yellow fever. and
the change that has been brought
about through the study OF the dis
ease. Fifty years ago. and even I'M
til recent years, yellow fever was a
most dreaded visitor in New Orleans.
IN one of the epidemics of the disease
l contracted the fever myself.
our freedom from anxiety so far as
yellow fever Is concerned we owe to
the men who laid down their own lives
for the benefit of their fellow men.
There was Major Carroll, who died only
a month ago, after years of suffering
caused by his voluntary submission to
incubation with yellow fever. There
was his colleague, DR.. Lazeur. who died
soon after incubation. These men were
genuine heroes. and too high praise
cannot be bestowed upon them for their
services TO humanity
Religion and Medicine.
TN connection with the program of
the international congress on tuber-
culosis. my attention has been called
to the Investigations being carried on
by the men OF science abroad. In
Frence, in spite of the materialistic
avowals Of the scientists, the activity in
researches which aim at the ultima tie
betterment of humanity is marked.
Quite recently one of the memorandum
books, such as physicians and even the
veterinarians carry around in their
pockets, was shown to me, and found
that each day OF the 365 was marked
with the name of the saint associated
with the day. The French scientists
may profess to be materialists, but
these books show that religion, like
Banquo's ghost, will not down. In fact
it is a very lively corpse, for it is in
delibly stamped upon the human soul
The benevolent physician. guided by
Christian principles, is closely walking
ir the footprints of our blessed Re
deemer, whose mission was to relieve
not only the spiritual but the cor
poreal Ills of suffering humanity, for
we read Of him in the gospels giving
sight to the blind. speech to the dumb
and strengthening the palsied limbs
While the physician cannot hope to ex-
ercise these miraculous cures, he is able
from the storehouse of knowledge tC
apply remedies which sometimes re
move. and more frequently at least al
leviate. the physical sufferings Of hi.

MAYORALTY RACE is ON WILL TEACH THE JAPSI
Cleveland in Last Week of
Throes-Both Sides
Claim Victory.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 27.-with only one
week remaining for active work in the
campaign, the Cleveland mayoraIty
contest is overshadowing everything
else here IN point of interest in con
nection with the election Of Nov. 5.
The record breaking registration has
been a matter of surprise to political
leaders generally. and election experts
are kept busy trying to analyze its
meaning and probable effect on the in
terests, respectively. of Mayor Tom l.
Johnson, who is seeking a fourth term.
and of Congressman Theodore Z. Bur
ton, the republican nominee. The reg
istration has reached a total of $4,000.
which is nearly 10000 in excess Of the
normal vote in city elections.
The predictions being made by poll
teal leaders vary according to the poll
teal feelings of those making them.
Republican politicians are sanguine
that the big registration augurs that
republicans heretofore out of line with
their party locally, who did not vote
at all. are back in line and ready to
vote for Mr.. Burton. They point to the
fact that the biggest increase in regis
tration has been in the heavy republi-
can wards.
johnson Claims Victory.
Mayor Johnson and his associates,
however are equally sanguine that the
increased interest in municipal affairs
as shown by the big registration is due
to his position on the question of
lower street car fares and the regu-
latton of public service corporations,
as we'll as his administration gener-
ally.
Chairman Baker in his election fore
cast predicts Mr.. Burtons victory for
mayor by from 5000 to $4,000. Mayor
Johnson. as well as his managers, are
confident that the mayor Will be re-
elected. They predict his majority will
be no less than it was two years ago.
when he was elected by $4,000.

the time for distribution compels anti
cipation OF revenues which do not
materialize until March, and this fact
has annually necessitated a short-time
loan from the banks. This year the
stringency in the money market made
loan of any kinu impossible, and
until the regular revenues begin to
pour in next year nothing can be done
for the districts.
Mr.. Dinehart suggests the passage
by the legislature of a law changing
the date of distribution so as to avoid
a recurrence of the present inconveni-
ence in the future.

COURT VERD|CTS SURPRISE
Jury in the Victoria Nagel Case
Finds Verdict Against the
City.
Damages Allowed the Plaintiff in
the Sum OF S61.4S.
Cattle Company Case Ends in a
Victory for the Railroad.

Although court has been in session
now for over week only three cases
have been tried.
The first, the case OF Victoria Nagel
against the City of New Ulm, resulted
in verdict in favor of the plaintiff,
the jury assessing her damages at
1861. 48. The action grew out of the
building of a retaining wall on the
plaintiffs property at the time the
city lowered the grade on Centre
street, and is important in its outcome
as establishing a precedent for numer-
Gus other cases of a similar character.
The city, of course, will appeal.
The second case to be tried, and by
far the most hardly fought of the ses-
sion, was that of the Minnesota &
Dakota Cattle Company against the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad.
Lined up on one side were Brown &
Abbott, the well-known railway attor-
neys of Winona, and on the other side
Harrison L. Schmidt of Mankato and
= =
Eckstein & Flor of New Ulm. For
four days the legal athletes battled,
and when on Monday the case was
finally submitted to the jury it was
the generally expressed opinion that
the verdict would be in behalf of the
plaintiff. It was the surprise of the
week, therefore. when the jury filed in
| yesterday morning and announced
that they had reached an agreement in
favor of the defendant. AS one lawyer
put it, it was an epoch-making decision
in the history of railroad litigation
in Brown county.
| The main facts of the case are pretty
well-known to all the readers of the
Review. The plaintiff alleged that
the railroad company had agreed to

STATE TREASURY SHORT OF CASH
Real Reason Why October School
App0rtiOnment Warrants Have
Not Been Issued.

For some weeks the rural school
district treasurers have been wonder
ing why they didn't get their warrants
for the states semi annual school ap-
portionment due them over month
ago. Nor were the school district
treasurers the only ones who were
worrying. Country bankers found it
difficult under existing circumstances
to be advancing money for teachers
salaries, and naturally they sent in a
determined kick, first to the county
auditor and later to the original
source of supply, the treasurer of the
state. Various excuses were offered
in many instances by obliging county
officials, but now comes State Trea-
surer Dinehart with the first real ex-
PLANTATION.
Mr.. Dinehart says that the October
apportionment calls for approximate
ly S830,000. The fixing of October as

Pierre to Chicago in thirty hours,
whereas it took them thirty-four hours
with one train and thirty seven with
the other. The damage resulting from
failure to deliver the stock in Chlca go
within the specified time was placed by
the plaintiff at 81, 300, but the jury
evidently thought differently.
The trial of Franz Wilfahrt, charged
with assault in the second and third
degrees, was commenced Monday
afternoon. HoiG ale & Somsen, attor-
neys for Wilfahrt, objected to the in
dlctment and at the forenoon session
yesterday Judge Olsen ruled that the
Indictment for assault in the second
degree was detective, while that for
assault in the third degree was good.
Wilfahrt accordingly changed his
plea from mot guilty" to guilty of
assault in the third degree and the
trial proceedings came to a sudden
end In the afternoon Judge Olsen
sentenced the prisoner to a term OF
ninety days in the county Jail.
The famous mouth-organ case of M.
A. Endres against Alderman Herman
Nagel has been dropped. The plain
tiff, Endres, agrees to pay all the
costs.

LAKE TRAPPERS' FEUD'
Muskrat Hunters Clash Over Divi-
sion of Territory.
One Of Them Charged With Using
a Dangerous Weapon.
Is Arrested and Placed Under
Bonds to Keep the Peace.

A trappers feud, arising from trivi-
.ahties, and nearly resulting in
tragedy, was aired in Justice Peter
sons court in ST. Peter early in the
week.
= Misunderstanding and John Kopp-,
ing were the complaining witnesses
and on the strength of their sworn
statement, that Otto Poehler had at
tempted to commit an assault on them
with a dangerous weapon, the latter
was placed under the alternative of
furnishing a peace bond of 5000 or Of
going to jail for, term of six months.
He promptly chose the former.
Poehling's father and the defend ant,
Poehler, are prominent farmers of
Courtland township. Their farms adj
join on the shores of Swan Lake, and
when the trapping season opened
young Poehling invited Poehler's
wrath by establishing trapper's
camp on small island in the lake not
far from where one had been estab-
.llshed by Poehler.
Sharp clashes between the neigh
bors ensued and finally, when one day
the Poehling and Hopping boys re-
moved some traps that Poehler had
placed on the Poehling lake front,
Poehler is said to have lost all patti
Eence. The boys even go so far as to
say that as they were rowing from
their island camp to the mainland he
actually opened fire on them with a
22-caliber rifle.
T It was this act of open hostility,
they allege, that led to his arrest.

Wife of Heir Seems to Think Mo-

CrOokston and New Ulm Lawyers
Also Interested to a Ger

Miller q Foote, Crookston lawyers,
and Jos. A. Eckstein of this city have

dered Patsche to turn over to her 500
with which to meet her expenses in
preparing for trial. With this order
of the court Patsche has never com

collecting the 500 from the legacy left
him by his father that the present pro-
