POLITICAL SCANDAL.

Vancouver, B. C., Feb. 5.-Pro- ceedings are now pending against the late minister of lands and works, Hon. MT. Green, who will be charged with having received a bribe of 37,00O shares in the Transcontinental Syndicate, or which Sir Adolph Caron is one Of the chief promoters. It is alleged that the former minister in ex- change for favors, granted by the department to the syndicate, was asked to name a suitable person to hold shares for him in trust. The syndicate, it is alleged, became dissatisfied with the way Green treated it and exposed the trans action to the executive council. Despite this knowledge of corrup- tion, which the government is said to have in May last, it allowed Green to retain his cabinet seat till last December. Documents dealing fully with the case are now in possession of the authorities.

HUMPHREYS TO
 OPPOSE WOOD

If Supreme Justice Carroll D. Wood is candidate for reelection in the fall of 1908, he will have opposition, if the statement of prominent men in this city are to be believed says the Little Rock Democrat. Yesterday letters were received from Judge T. H. Hum phreys of the Eleventh chancery district to the effect that he is a candidate for the supreme judge ship, and that he is in the race to win. Judge Humphreys is we'll known in Little Rock. He was at one time a candidate for the attor- ney generalship, but withdrew be- fore the campaign was we'll under way. In this instance, however. it is stated that Chancellor Hum- phreys has, commenced close can vass of his district, and proposes to defeat Judge Wood if that be possible, in the event the present jurist decides to run again.

REILBOY WAS
 NOT A BOY
Strange Case of Masqueiadinig Came to Light When Hotel Man
 agcr Saw Girl With Coat Off.

Beaumont, Tex, Feb. IA strange ease of dual personality came to light here today. On De- cember IT of last year, young man, apparently about 25 years old, called on the secretary of the Young Mems Christian Association and requested to be assisted in his search for employment. He told story of misfortune, saying he came originally from New York, but had become sick in New Or leans and was only recently dis charged from hospital there. He gave his name as Perry Martin, and his charming manner enlisted sympathy. Employment was found at the Oaks hotel as bell boy which he continued until las0 Friday.
 Then came a surprise. The man. ager happened upon his bell boy without his coat, and noted the contour was not masculine. Charg- ed with masquerading in false at tire. the young woman burst into tears and confessed her sex. She declared she had been compelled by force of circumstances to don mans apparel, and pleaded to be retained. She volunteered no state ment as to her past life and career, and the manager of the hotel not allowing her to remain in his em- ploy, she left yesterday for Hous- ton.
 During her stay in Beaumont she became popular among circle of friends and on occasions would % to theaters and elsewhere with parties of young men.
 A strange feature of the story of the young woman is her affec- tion for young woman in New York City, whose name was not ascertained. to whom she said she was engaged to be married.

SECRETARY BLOOM
 IN LITTLE ROCK

F. E. Bloom, secretary and treas urer o1 the Travellers Fire Insur- ance company of Pine Bluff, was in the city this morning on busi- ness, says the Little Rock Demo- crat. Mr. Bloom says the Tray elers' Insurance company is in a most prosperous condition and is gaining new business every day. This company is among the oldest of the state insurance companies organized in recent years, and is ranked among the strongest. The company is composed entirely of home capital, with John F. Ruther ford, president; E. B. Bloom, sec retary and treasurer, and E. l.. Barkley manager. The company has recently purchased the building formerly occupied by the Rhodes Haverty Furniture company in Pine Bluff and will, within a few weeks, move into larger quarters.
 Speaking regarding the Arkansas antitrust act as it applies to fire insurance companies, MT. Bloom says that his company is satisfied to let the law remain as it and he sees no reason why it should be repealed. His company is con- sidered a safe one and has always met it's obligations promptly. Mir. Bloom states that with proper man. agement he sees no reason why a home company cannot carry busi- ness just like the other companies.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing WorK Keeps Us
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When healthy they remove about 800 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part ol this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many dls- eases and symptoms-pain in the back, headache, nervousness, not, dry skin, rheumatism, gOut, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hear ing, dizziness, irregular heart, de- bility. drowsiness, drOpsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But of you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 k. Lew, dealer in tobacco and cigars, at 215 Main st.. and living at S23 West Sixth st., Little Rock, Ark, says: "There was miser- able feeling in the small of my back and a feeling of weakness. AS I do great deal of driving l blamed the constant jolting for i causing the severe pain across my | kidneys. Whatever the cause of the 
 trouble was after I started to use l Doan's Kidney Pills my back gave l me very little annoyance. the use of this remedy having driven the lameness entirely away. I have rec commended Doan's Kidney Pills to several of my aequaintances and shall continue to do so for I know they can be relied upon to bring re- | lief in cases oI backache."

MARKETS HEAVY TONE.
conditions Not Yet Right for Perma.
 nent Improvement.


 New York, Nov. 7.-Several ironort- ant events to-day served as an admo- milton that conditions are not vet ripe to move definitely out of the inau- ences of the financial disturbances rom which the country has suffered Ihe action of the stock market indi- cated some disposition to contest the effect of these events, but the heavy tone prevailed ultimately. The rise Tn the official discount rate of the Bank of England to per cent, while clearly foreseen yesterday, was too imposing an evidence of the strain now extending through the worlds money markets not to make a formid able impression. It had been expect- ed that the Imperial bank of Gar- many would be forced to follow this example, but the rise in the Bank of France official rate to per cent. had not been so much considered and em- phasized the influence of the FneIisb bank's action Additional gold was engaged for New York to-dav in snita of these measures, which may, in fact serve to attract gold to London and Paris from other sources, but seem in- efIicacious to obstruct the withdraw als for New York.
 1 Forelgn money markets have held so suspicious an attitude towards New forK requests for credits all through the present year that advances were inconsequential, even such as are usp- ally made in anticipation of the mar keting abroad of our commodities The consequence is that now, with the out- ward movement of our commodities in force and payments falling due. tbe foreign banking centers have no off- set in the form of maturing loans of American borrowers. Our choice of payment In gold for our exports there lore leaves the foreigners no alterna- tlVe' The extent to which the money market was affected was disanpoint- ment to those who had looked for prompt relaxation with the first ar- rivals of gold. The explanation is found in the necessary repair of inc detlcit below the legal reserve of the banks and also of the urgent require 'iA~iiI Ol lll0 luleEIOr Tor currency to complete the movement of the crons Money on call for operations in stocks still remain scarce in consequence of these conditions.
 The immediate results of the com pletion of the Tennessee Coal transac- tion in the stock market proved rather dlsconcerting With the admission to the stock exchange list of the S3O 0oo Ooo of U. s. steel sinking fund bonds presumably employed in that transao. tion there was evident liquidation and a decline of three points in the bonds tennessee Coal also fell precipitatelv rom the artificial level at which it has been arbitrarily held.

This action by the Bank of England indicates on the part of the English directors no serious misgivings over their own position. They have discov- cred that the 6 per. cent rate estab- lished at the emergency meeting at the start of the week did not avail to check the American gold withdrawals, and being determined that those with drawals have gone far enough, they propose to raise the rate until it is ef- fective.

The critical question becomes, after this plain notice to cease drawing up- on Europe for gold, whether the en- agreements already made are enough to satisfy the more pressing needs of our banking position. Including the $2,- 100000 additional which was announced yesterday morning our gold importa- tions amount to nearly $40,000,0O0. This would be enough to make good the de- Saturday, providing that since then the drain on the New York institutions from domestic sources had ceased. But, unfortunately, the evidence all points away from such assumption.

The New York savings banks will not have to sell any of their securities to meet any demands upon them. By the time the withdrawal notices re- ceived from scared depositors expire the scare will be over and the depos- itors won't want their money. Be- sides the savings banks need not sacri- flee any good securities at present pric- es; they would borrow on them for any emergency purposes.
