would confine it to the finances of the
government.
The comptroller also urges that the
limit on the monthly retirement of cur
rency be removed Speaking of the
panic, he says it was worse among
the banks than among the people and
that it was caused directly by the
boarding of banks. Action by congress.
II any, should be taken soon.
Cortelyou Denies 1t All.
The reports of delegate hunting for
the Republican nomination on the third
term sentiment finally became so per-
sistent that Secretary Cortelyou issued
formal denial, Dec. II. saying that
he has not been a candidate Tor any
thing but the confidence of the people
in the discharge of his duties ana that
neither he nor his friends directly or
indirectly have tried to secure political
support for any candidate nor sought
to influence movements in his interest,
If in future he decides to be a candi-
date for any office, he says, he will be
prepared to say so and to give the
grounds on which he asks for support.
This statement is generally taken to
mean the collapse of the Cortelyou
boom.
Aldermen Defy Governor.
The aldermen of the borough of
Manhattan, New York city, virtually
rebuked Governor Hughes and also
Mayor Mcclellan by re-electing John
+. Ahearn as president of the borough,
an office from which he had been re-
moved a few days before by Governor
Hughes. The vote was "a to -. The
ruling of the mayor that Ahearn was
Ineligible for reelection was overfid-
den by an equally emphatic vote.
Minority on the Aggressive.
Leader Culberson of the senate mi
nority followed up the attack OH the
financial measures of the administra-
ton begun by Tillman with his de-
mand for complete investigation of
the whole financial system. Aldrich,
on the other hand, speaking for the
majority, opposed such wide inquiry
and insisted on keeping 1T down to the
specific measures taken during the re
cent panic. In reply Aldrich gave no
tice that after the holidays he would
be prepared to submit the majority s
remedy. In the course of his re
marks Culberson called President
Roosevelt 50 menace to the public in
terests of the country" Tillman want
ed to know why the president had moi

the New York Central railroad. Mr..
Smith had been on trial for manslaugh-
ter in connection with the wreck at
Woodlawn on Feb. 16, in which TWEEN
ty-three persons lost their lives. This
case has attracted attention through
out the country as one in which a Sc.
rious attempt was made to hold high
official of a railroad responsible for the
acts Of subordinates.
Powers on the Stand.
The sixth week of the trial of Caleb
Powers at Georgetown, Ky, for the
murder of Goebel began with Powers
himself on the stand. He appeared to
be cool and deliberate as he told the
story Of his life-how he had run for
the Office of secretary of state on the
Republican ticket and how he had
helped to bring people from all Sec
tons of the state to Frankfort to pro-
test against the attempt of the Demo-
Gratis to count the Republicans out by
the seating of the Democratic candi-
dates.
Absconder Walker Caught.
The Pinkerton agency at New York
has confirmed the report that William
f. Walker, treasurer of the New Brit
ain Comm Savings bank, who stole
$3.50 900 in bonds and $4,000 in cash.
had been arrested near Ensenada,
Mexico, had admitted his identity and
had consented to return to Connecti-
cut without awaiting extradition pro-
ceedings. Walker disappeared last
February, and the search for him has
been worldwide and continuous.
Won't Contest Two Cent Fare Law.
The. railroad companies doing bust
ness in Missouri have about decided
not to contest the state two cent fare
law because they are now confident
that the reduction of traffic shown by
their figures since the law went into
effect will satisfy the courts that 1t is
inequitable and confiscatory. A Mis-
souri, Pacific official said the receipts
had declined 80 per cent in the last
ninety days, and a Wabash man said
that the combined loss to all the roads
| in passenger traffic alone was $4,000,

ton of Labor to publish its unfair
and tive don't patronize" lists is de-
MED In the temporary injunction grant
ed by Federal Judge Gould at Wash
ington in the test case begun by the
federation's most powerful enemy,
President Van Cleave of the National
Manufacturers association, on behalf
OF the Bucks Stove and Range COM
pany of st. Louis, Of which he is also
the head. This company had beer in
cluded in the boycotting lists Oh the
charge that Van Cleave had discharged
an employee and had threatened to
discharge all the employees who were
members of the union committee which
tried to deal with him. The Injunction
names not only the federation but its
officers, President Gompers and Sec
retafy Morrison, and nine members of
the executive council, together with
the Electrotype Molders and Finish
ers' union, No. II, and it's officers as
defendants, and describes their action
as an illegal conspiracy. The Com

Inception of the federation and that 1t

DAIRY COWS
E. A. johnson and D. F. Sud
duth Return From East
With Dairy Stock

d. f. Sudduth and L. A. Johnson, the
latter in partnership with DR.. Henry
Fischer, arrived in the Park Monday
with 81 head of dairy stock in con
junction with our new Creamery.
Mr.. Sudduth has 20 COWS and Mr.
johnson and DR.. Fischer, "a cows ard a
bull. The bull is a registered Durham,
scion of famous milking family and a
highly desirable sire for use in such a
country as this where size and beef quail
ity count as we'll as strictly milk pro-
ducing character. The animal cost
$125. The cows are in part registered
thorough breds and in part graded stock
but all we'll bred Durhams ina milking
strain. The prices where they were
bought were from $50. to 500.
MIR. Sudduth and Mr.. johnson went
to Illinois for their stock and bought at
Gilbert in the famous dairy district a
round Elgin. On their return trip DIR.
Fischer met them in Laramie and the
three brought the bunch in arriving in
the Park last Monday with-the stock in
fine shape. The cows are all expected
to come fresh this summer and thereby
give their owners well bred herd OF
native born climated stock.
Nh, Sudduth is willing to dispose of a
few of his as he must go east again soon
and can replace them, but makes the
condition of rate that the creamery shall
have the patronage of the buyers.
Mr.. Sudduth and Mr.. johnson are
preparing to go into the dairy business
in the right manner and will undoubled
ly make money at it. They have secur-
ed good all around dairy stock of a large
hardy breed and are getting their ranch
es in shape to handle them properly.
You can't dairy with wild dogies or
strictly beef stock, but the man who
gets dairy stock of the right kind and
handles them skillfully has better and
surer thing than the beef business can
ever hope to be again.
