Private" John Allen tells some
good stores of a man in Jackson,
Miss, who, so far as his financial no.
tions go, is of the type made famous
by Colonel Carter of Cartersyille."
The cashier of the bank at Jackson,
with which the Mississippian did
business, one day very politely inti-
mated that e gentleman's account
was overdrawn. Thanking him for
the information, the Jackson man left
the building, promising that the stu
alton would be remedied the following
day. But nothing was heard from
him then, nor for some weeks after.
Then, when the cashier had an oppor-
tunity to do so, he again referred TO
the matter, remarking that the gen.
tleman was now even further indebted
to the bank than before. Again came
the polite assurance that the matter
was to be adjusted that day; and
again did the Jackson man fail to
keep his promise.
ON his next visit to the bank the
president himself took occasion to call
the depositor's attention to the situa-
ton.
The Mississippian became very in
dignant. Look here, sir" he ex-
claimed, this makes the third time
the officials of this bank have pestered
me about that measly overdrawn &C.
count. If you don't quit bothering me
about it I'll take it to another bank!'

A Buffalo savings bank has in
creased its interest rate from three
and half to four per cent, and in
making the announcement explains
that last year it earned $253,000 over
all expenses and feels that depositors
should have the benefit This is not
only indicative of excellent manage
ment in this particular case, but is
evidence of the general soundness un-
derlying the surface of business, re-
marks the Troy Times. Were it
otherwise savings banks could not SO
readily find sound and remunerative
investments and would not be able to
pay comfortable interest to patrons.
At time when there is more or less
OF disposition to take a pessimistic
view of certain financial features it is
well to recall the admirable showing
made by savings banks as a whole
These are the custodians of the money
of the Industrious workers who save
what they can of their earnings, and
the fact that deposits have increased
enormously of late shows that wage
earners are doing well, while the in
creasing rate of interest is proof that
such savings are wisely handled.
Many a capitalist would be content to
receive a steady dividend of four per
cent. on his money.

OIL REFINERY is BURNED.
Plant of Sterling Company at Mari
eta, o., Destroyed.

Marietta, o? - Many thousands
of dollars loss was caused Tues
day by a fire that destroyed most
of the plant of the Sterling Oil re-
finery. The confagration ragged for
seven hours, dying down only when
there was nothing more for the flames
to feed upon.
The water pumps were out of order
but several lines of steam were played
into the fire and by strenuous efforts
ten tanks of crude oil on hill above
the works were saved as the wind was
blowing in the opposite direction. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it
is supposed to have originated in a
retort in which bones used in clarity
ing oil are reduced to char. Over 200
barrels of machine oil and IA tanks of
refined oil and much finished product
was destroyed. The officials of the
company refuse to give the amount of
less.
The Sterling company is one of the
Independents mentioned in the list as
making agreements to sell the entire
product to the Standard Oil company
in exchange for crude oil. The plant
was modern and we'll equipped.

GETS AFTER OMAHA PACKERS.
Nebraska Food Commissioner Starts
Out to Enforce the Law.

Lincoln, Neb. - Food commission
er johnson is beginning a cam
pAign against the packing houses
which are offending against the pure
food law. Packages of meat must
hereafter have the net weight
stamped upon them.
To start his campaign for packages
Of honest weight, Johnson Wednesday
ordered the county attorney of Doug
las county to institute proceedings
against the South Omaha packing
houses. 1t is found that packages of
bacon and ham are wrapped with pa
per and cloth until five or six per
cent. of the stamped weight is thus
accounted for. The order is that all
Nebraska packers must comply with
the law. If outside packers do not,
the retailers handling the goods will
be held responsible.

MAY EXTEND WIRE STRIKE
GOTHAM LOCAL WANTS LEASED
WIRE MEN CALLED OUT.
Await Sanction of National Officers
and Ask Them to Take Action
Throughout.

New York.-The New York local OF
the Commercial Telegraphers' union
voted Wednesday night to call out all
leased wire operators employed by
the press and brokers' offices in this
city, if such action shall be sane
toned by the national officers. Ac-
ton by the national officers will be
awaited before anything further is
done.
1t was voted also to ask the national
officers to issue call for the brokers'
and press telegraphers throughout the
country to quit work. The demand
upon the men who are now working
under contract is made in the inter-
ests of those who have struck against
the Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies.
The decision to call upon the press
and broker operators to break their
individual contracts and go out in a
sympathetic strike was reached after
heated debate which occupied sew
eral hours of meeting of the New
yin lOSnl ANOs 1Os Oh bAlC hh1A WV ~
was declared that the strikers were
practically unanimous.
Daniel L. Russell, chairman of the
strike committee; who until Wednes'
day had opposed the movement for a
sympathetic strike, made a vigorous
speech in which he reversed his posi-
tion and declared that expediency de
manded such a war measure as was
proposed.
An amendment introduced by John
G. McCloskey' of the Hearst News
Service, exempting from the strike
operators of leased wires who were
bound by a union contract with theil
employers, signed six months previous
to the strike of the commercial men
was defeated amid much cheering
and the original resolution passed
with little opposition.
After the meeting Chairman Rus
sell said if the present course was no
effective the railroad operators would
be called upon to quit work.

Harrison Grey Fiske discussed. at a
dinner in New York, the art of act
ing.
Il believe" said Mr.. Fiske, "in sub

the head, silent pause-these things
are often more effective than the most
violent yelling and ranting.
Life is like that, subtle and silent.
What. for instance, could be more ex-
pressive than this scene. a scene

MYSTERY OF A SAFE
WHEREABOUTS OF STANDARD
OIL BOOKS NEARLY FOUND
SCENT GROWING WARM
BY Them Kellogg Hopes to Prove
Combine Didn't DssolVe-Disap-
peared Without Secretary
Seeing Contents.

New York. - Evidence of the
existence recently Of a mysterious
steel safe in the Standard Oil COM
pany's Offices, brought out in the gov
ernment's suit Friday, indicated that
Attorney Frank B. Kellogg was close
on the trail of the books of the Stand
ard Oil trustees and liquidating trus-
tees.
When the hearing was concluded,
Mr.. Kellogg said that he was closer
to the books, from which he hopes to
prove that the oil combine never un-
derwent a legal dissolution, than he
had been at any time since the gov
ernment's action was commenced.
Assistant Secretary Doesn't Know.
Charles White, the assistant secre-
tary OF the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey, said on the witness stand
Friday that when he went to the Sec
retaTy's office to assume his new du'
ties there were two steel safes in the
office. One of them contained the
books and records of the Standard
company; what was in the other safe
ne did not know. Mr.. White said that
no one told him the nature of the con
tents of the second safe, which was
removed two weeks after he had been
there From whom the order came OF
where it was taken to, the witness
said, he could not answer.
Mr.. White said that he had never
seen the records of the Standard Oi
trustees or the liquidating trustees
showing the various transfers of stock
in the trust liquidating period. He haC
hunted for the records recently but
was unable to find them.

Nebraska Wins Rate Victory

Omaha.-Judges T. c. Munger and
w. H. Munger, in the United States
court Thursday night denied the in
junction asked for by the railroads
operating in Nebraska to prevent the
state railway commissioner from en-
forcing the laws reducing grain rates.
The restraining order issued some
time ago by Judge T. c. Munger was
dissolved, This Is regarded as de-
cisive victory for the state, although it
is presumed that the case will be ear
sried to the United States court OF ap-
peals BY the railroad companies.

Courage.
OHIO.

One Of the most unhappy, but at the
same time impressive, sights ever
witnessed at the headquarters of the
New York police department took
place there recently, when patrol
man was discharged from the service
because of cowardice. In the pres
ence of his brother officers his badge
was unpinned from his breast and the
buttons cut from his uniform. No
such ning had happened before for
more than 80 years. 1t is a curious
trait in human nature that physical
courage, the virtue which is most
cherished and most extolled, should
be at the same time perhaps the COM
monest. The great popularity of the
soldier and the military hero is due
almost entirely to the fact that origin
ally it was the soldier especially who
was obliged to exercise physical cour-
age. 1t is not improbable that the
lessening tendency to make heroes of
soldiers merely because they are SOL
diers is due to growing perception
that many other occupations call for
and produce men who do qRite as
daring deeds in circumstances far less
favorable to gallantry. 1t would be
an exceedingly interesting thing if
one could trace the influence of news
papers and other periodicals on the
prevalence of physical courage. There
can be no doubt, says Youths Com
paniOn, that the influence is consider
able. Nothing is seized more eagerly
by the reporters than stories of hero
ism" and not much is read with great
er interest by the people. In days,
then, when every man is a hero who
stops a runaway horse or pulls a little
boy out of a brook, it must be that
the popular imagination IS very con-
siderably stimulated and the mind
stirred to emulation by the newspaper
reports.

AMAsA CAMPBELL GUILTY.
Jury, However, Asks CIemency for
Slayer of Dr.. Harris.

Chicago. - A verdict of man.
slaughter, with a recommendation
to the state board Of pardons for ex-
treme clemency, was given by a jury
in Judge Windes' court Tuesday even
ing against Amasa C. Campbell, the
lumber dealer of Amigo, Wis, who
shot and mortally wounded DR.. Ben
iamin S. Harris last December in the
Stock Exchange building Campbell
suspected Harris of improper rela.
tions with the formers wife.
Attached to the verdict was a petit
tion to the state pardon board, signed
by every member of the jury, recon-
mending that Campbell be confined
in the penitentiary not to exceed the
minimum term prescribed by law.
This is one year.

How determined the world is becom-
ing to put an end to food adulteration
is shown in many ways. The passage
of the pure food bill by the British
house of commons is especially sig
niticant England is a conservative
country, and it takes a long time to
stir up the people to the point where
they demand action looking to inter-
ference with old established customs.
But food adulteration is so prevalent
and affects directly or indirectly so
many subjects of the king that the
necessity Of putting an end to it is
impressed ON the popular mind. Par
lament, responding to this sentiment,
has passed an act which recalls the
legislation in this country on the same
subject. The fight against that form
of rascality which consists of fraud
in food goes merrily on and should re-
suit in great reform.

DurA Ennd

The pure food law does not prohibit:
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking.
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but it is a we'll
known fact that a baking powder in.
which Alum is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. DR.. Herman
Reinbold, the expert German chemist,
in a recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
injurious than the so-called Cream of
Tartar powders. He says that if the
quantity of alum contained in a snf-
ficient quantity of baking powder for
batch of bread or cakes for an ordi-
nary family, be concentrated to one
mouthful of food, and taken into the
stomach Of any one person, no matter
how delicate, it could do no harm.

CLOVER LEAF BUYS ALTON
DIRECTORS VOTE TO SIGN. CON-
TRACT FOR PURCHASE.
Roads Physical Condition Found
Good-Unification of Shonts-Haw-
ley Properties Will Follow.

New York.-The directors of the
Toledo, st. Louis & Western railway
at meeting here Friday voted to
sign a contract for the purchase of
the Chicago & Alton railway from the
Rock Island interests, in accordance
with the agreement that such should
be done provided the Alton received
immunity in connection with the
Standard Oil rebating investigation.
Attorney General Bonaparte recently
announced that such immunity would
be granted.
Before the directors acted, COM
mittee submitted an exhaustive re-
port of the physical condition of the
road which was declared to be highly
satisfactory.
The old Chicago & Alton board will
probably meet during the coming
week and resign in a body, after
which the new interest will assume
formal control. 1t is expected that
some unification of the so-called
Shonts-Hawley properties, namely the
Toledo, st. Louis & Western, Chicago
& Alton, Iowa Central and Mime.
apolis C st. Louis roads, will speedily
follow.
1t is planned to make direct connec.
tions between the Iowa Central and
Chicago & Alton and the Toledo, ST.
Louis G Western road, thereby ef,
fecting link with Minneapolis and
ST. Louis. This will give the unified
system direct Mines between Detroit
ST. Louis and Kansas City, as we'll as
direct lines between Chicago and
Kansas City.

Paw IN ARMY AND NAVY.
Present Rate Was Established Nearly
Forty Years Ago.

The present rates OF army pay were
established nearly 40 years ago, and
the pay of the navy is based upon
that for the army. When the law was
enacted (1S70) the allowance was am
pie. 1t may be assumed, though, that
congress then provided nothing in ex-
cess of the reasonable needs OF the
service at that time. In the meantime
the development of the country and
commercial conditions, not confined to
our own country alone, have caused
the cost of living, cost of travelling,
cost of education, cost of clothing and
amusements to be all nearly doubled;
in some of the items mentioned to be
quadrupled.
Stonemasons, bricklayers, carpen-
ters and other skilled mechanics are
receiving at present about six dollars
per day. That is the. exact amount
paid to a captain in the United States
army after he has been in the military
service less than Is years. 1t is near
ly double the amount paid to second
! lI6uI6uduIs n 6lduCC ONOA ShO oAAAJ
list shows that over two-thirds of the
officers are receiving less pay per day
! than good mechanics receive in civil
life.
He has no home, but must be pre-
pared to live in the arctics or the
tropics aud change from one to the
other at short notice. He must have
equipment for both and while in one
place the equipment for the other is
stored and deteriorating. He is sent
on long journeys to distant stations
and must suffer Punishment from his
family or take them along-either is
a great expense; on one hand for
travel and on the other for mainte-
nance of two establishments. HIS
changes of station are so frequent
that he must put his children in costly,
private schools or see them grow up
in ignorance. Because he is an officer
of the United States service, to use
the responsibility of his position to
| add to his income, commercially is re-
garded as reprehensible and If he
makes an investment he must intrust
his interests to an agent.

STEAMER TRAIN IN COLLISION.
French Special Carrying Americans
Wrecked-AlI Escape Death.

Paris.-The rear coach of the Sec
ond section of the special train carry
ing $50 first-class passengers from
Paris to Cherbourg to embark on the
White Star line steamer Adriatic, for
New York, was telescoped Wednes-
day by the regular Rouen express at
beyond Nantes. Strangely, no one
was killed, and according to the latest
authentic information, no one was
seriously injured.
All the passengers in the last coach,
however, were badly shaken up and
seven or eight were injured. A man
sustained a fractured leg, and wo-
man, it is feared, suffered internal in
juries. All the injured American pas
sengers, with the exception of one,
continued on their way to Cher
bourg.
