Threatening to Wreck a
Train.
PLACED IN CADIZ DEPOT
No Attention Paid to The
Threats, But Cars Run
as Usual.

The night riders who have been
operating in Trigg county for sever
al weeks have at last invaded Cadiz.
In spite of the wordy denials of
heir'existence in the Cadiz paper
and in communication sent by the
County Judge to the Courier-Jour-
nal, they have made threats in the
county seat itself.
Mr.. w. C. White, in many respecs
the leading citizen of Cadiz, who is
President of the Cadiz Railroad, Oh
Wednesday morning found the fol-
lowing letter in the depot at Cadiz:
Mr.. w. G. White:
We understand that Jesse Vinson
is intending to carry his tobacco to
Cadiz to ship to Hopkinsuille. Now
we don't want this done. Don't haul
it on your Road. We mean what we
say. sNight-Rider.
P. S. We don't care to do you
any harm but, we must and will pro-
tect our wives and children. A hint
to the wise had better be sufficient. -
The engineer and fireman of the
road also received the following epis-
tie, written on the same kind of
paper, in the same hand, disguised
by the use of we'll executed letters
made in the form OF printed letters.
Jake Bingham and Dick Mitchell:
Dear Friends-We understand Mr..
Jes. Vinson is going to bring his
tobacco to Cadiz to-day to ship it t
! Hopkinsville where he has sold it.
Now we don't want to do you any
harm in any way, but this tobacco
must not go out from here. If it
does the train will never get to Ora
cy and back. We are your friends
and don't want to do anything that
might injure you. so you had better
loose your jobs than to take achance
of losing your lives. Your Friends. "
In spite of these ominous threats
the Cadiz train pulled out with Mr.
Wilson'S crop and it was hauled
safely to Gracey, turned over to the
| |. c. and delivered to Iandy & Fair
leigh in this city Wednesday. Mr..
Vinson was in the city yesterday
looking after the sale of this crop,
The Cadiz Record has for some
time been saying unkind things
about the Kentuckian because it re-
fuses to suppress the unlawful con-
dition of affairs in its county. Now
that the facts are no longer a sub
ject of dispute, we hope to see the
Record, whose chief contributor is
the county Judge, array itself on the
side of law and order and cooperate
with the Kentuckian in its efforts
to stop the preparation of these
outrages, that have brought dis
grace upon some of the most law
abiding counties in the State.

BUILDING
OPERAT IONS
Viii Begin in the Spring and
Several Large Houses
Go Up.
BIG APARTMENT HOUSE,
Home Capital Only VIII Con
tribute to City's I'm
prOvement.

RumOrs of prospective improve
ments, some imaginary and others
desired and to be carried out, are
rife. After spring opens there is
not the shadow of doubt that many
new buildings will be begun and
completed before the middle of the
year.
| We are told that Mr.. John P.
Prowse has determined on the cree
ton of number of cottages on his
vacant property on South Virginia
/ street, east of his Main street home.
They will all be just the size most in
demand the year round. This paper
has repeatedly called attention to
the great need of these kinds of
buildings to meet the call of the
large annual influx of people coming
| from the country to take advantage
EOf the opportunities of their chill
| dren's receiving an education in our
schools and colleges. Mr.. Prowse
will have no trouble in leasing his
cottages as fast or even faster than
they are completed.
We have also directed the atten-
ton Of capitalists to the need of
large apartment houses. With the
steady growth of the city has arisen
the absolute necessity of a large
apartment house. Men with small
families do not want a home in the
outskirts of the city. They do not
care to be bothered with raising
vegetables, for they can be bought
cheaper than they can be raised. If
they are in business they want to be
near it. No one will dispute these
statements, for they are well known
facts. An apartment building heat
ed by steam, supplied with hot and
cold water, lighted by electricity
and furnished with modern improve
ments, the building divided into
suits of rooms, where one can be
isolated, if he chooses, from fellow
occupants, is what is needed beyond
doubt. Rumor has it that one Of
our citizens, who has the means to
erect such a building, and that he
has already had drawings made and
during the year will have it ready
for occupancy. 1t is to be in the
center of the city, and long before it
is completed we predict a push of
people who will want to get in on
the ground floor" as we'll as other
floors.
We understand that Councilman
Lucian Davis is to erect a handsome
home on East Seventh street, and
that work will begin as soon as the
weather permits. The entire build
ing, it is said, is to be of stone.
Mr.. Monroe Dalton is said to be
another of our citizens who is to put
up handsome residence building.
1t is not because he has the building
fever. Though that is his business,
but because last December he had
an offer for his former home on
East Seventh street that he couldn't
decline. Our inference from what

WORK FOR SUBTREASURY
and MINT FOR SEATTLE

Seattle, Nov. 27-United States Sem
ator S. H. Piles will ask the United
States government to establish sub
| treasury in Seattle and will insist that
in the same connection a mint be
erected here to handle the millions of
gold pouring through the Seattle as
say office annually.
Calvin S. Villas, assayer in charge
of the Seattle office, has taken up the
establishment of sub-treasury with
Senator Piles and will supply him
with the data necessary for making
the fight in Congress. 1t is believed
a proper presentation of facts will in
duce Congress to locate mint and
sub-treasury in Seattle.
1t is pointed cut that in express
charges on gold dust shipped through
the assay office the government is pay
ing more than $4,000 year and this
SUM would he nearly sufficient to
maintain mint and sub-treasury If
mint were located in Seattle mil
lions of dollars worth of gold shipped
through banks to the San Francisco
or Eastern mints would be sold direct
to the government at Seattle.
The financial Importance Of this city
and its increasing prestige in the
Northwest are declared to be sufficient
to Justify the government in establish
ing mint and sub-treasury in, Seattle.
Such action by the government would
afford permanent security in North
western financial circles and would
prevent danger of boarding gold in
Eastern exchange centers to the detri-
ment of the Pacific Northwest. In
stead OF being compelled to wait for
weeks for a promise that the govern
ment would ship gold to the Coast,
the sub-treasury would be able to re-
lease funds at any time needed and
when auth9rized by the secretary of
the treasury.
Because OF the fact that the govern
ment has an assay office in Seattle it
is believed the fight for the establish
ment of mint and sub-treasury can
be won for Seattle easies than for
any other Northwestern city, and that
is the reason the movement is being
made on behalf of this city.

STUDENT RIGHT TO VOTE.
Attorney General Renders Opinion in
the Matter.

Olympia, Nov. 27.-The right of
student to vote at Pullman is this
subject of an opinion rendered by the
attorney general, in which he says
the fact that one is student in a
university or college does not of itself
entitle him to vote where the uni
versity is situated, nor does it prevent
his voting there. He resides where he
has his established home, the place
where he is habitually present, and to
which, when he departs. he intends to
return. The fact that he may, at a
future time, interd to remove will not
necessarily defeat his residence before
he actually does SO remove. 1t is not
necessary that he should have the in
tention of always remaining, but there
must co-exist the fact and the inten-
ton of making 1t his present abiding
place, with no definite plans as to any
other particular future residence upon
graduation.
AS to what facts are sufficient to
show the intention of any particular
student to vote in town in which
he is attending school. is a matter to
be determined in the first instance
by the inspector and judges at the
election.

Luther Burbank, of California. The
perfecting of cactus without thorns
means the providing OF a valuable for

arid as in moist regions. The fat

enormously called leaf" is in some
of the best specimens nearly three
feet long, foot wide and three inch

RETURN TO NORMAL
new YORK BANKS TO RESUME
Cash PAYMENTS.
Call Money Not in Demand Even
at as Low as Three Per Cent.
TimeInterest Also Drops-Bond
Subscriptions Expected to Be
Very Heavy.

New York, Nov. a7.-New York
bankers are looking forward to re-
sumption of cash payments within a
very short time.
The return to strictly cash basis
in banking transactions Is largely de.
pendent upon the loan rates on money.
These rates are steadily declining, and
call money practically went begging
in Wall street late yesterday at per
cent and below. Rates on time loans
continue comparatively high, but are
gradually lowering BY the time the
loan rates reaches per cent. 1t is
believed the bankers will feel assured
enough of tlpsi4 position to resume
cash paymenssJ ~
New circulation from the issue of 8
per cent treasury certificates of in
debtedness will be available within a
few days. and this will be important
in fastening the return to the usua!
banking system.
The premium on currency was in
evidence again yesterday, but the
rates were nominal and the demand
was comparatively light. The early
disappearance of all premiums was
freely predicted.
While 1t is declared that the New
York banks are in a position to re-
sumo currency payments at once,
many such payments having been
made within the last few days, they
are said to be awaiting assurance
from the interior that the wants OF
the cities there have been satisfac-
torily supplied. So long as the inter
ior demands are heavy, the New York
banks are inclined to hold their cur
rency in readiness for transfer, and
10 ask the indulgence of their local
patrons to the extent of accepting
checks, which are being handled with
comparatively little inconvenience.

Heavy oversubscription of Bond
Issue expected.

Washington, Nov. 27.-There were
several important developments yes
terdas in the plans of the treasury
department for aflordIng relief to the
money market by the issue of new
securities. Secretary Cortelyou stated
that of the amount paid for the Pan
anna canal bonds 80 per cent would be
deposited with national banks pur-
chasing such bonds. All the indica-
lions point TO large oversubscription
of the bonds. The bids thus far re-
ceiyed number nearly as many as for
the last issue of Panama bonds, which
was oversubscriDed to the extent OF
several hundred million dollars.
An important fact relating to the
one-year treasury certificates is that
already the amount allotted approx,
mates s25,O00,0OO. OF this sum only
about $4,000. coo has yet been pledged
as security for circulation, but the
certificates are being transferred to
the custody of the United States treas
urer almost as rapidly as the banks
are notified of their allotments. 1t is
the general belief in banking circles
here that it will not be necessary TO
issue the full amount of 100000 600
which was authorized.

FRANCHISE KILLED
BY COUNCIL ACTION
MCGOWAN Fails in His Effort
To Secure Privileges
At Terre Haute.
VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE.
THE DEMAND MADE BY THE PUB.
Lie WAS THAT THE CITY RE-
cEIvE PAY FOR THE USE OF ITS
STREETS.

Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. 2S.-By a
unanimous vote the Terre Haute city
council last night killed the interurban
franchise that the MCGOWAN traction
syndicate has been seeking to obtain
for several months. 1t was clean-cut
victory for the people. Hugh j. Nc
Gowan. head of the traction syndicate.
asked for a franchise early in June, and
a franchise agreement was entered into
between his company and the Terre
Haute board of works, but when 1t
went before the city council there was
such a storm of popular indignation
that the franchise was laid on the ia
BILE.
Mr.. MCGOWAN, on the eve of his de-
parture for Europe, asked that action
on the franchise be deferred until his
return. He was due to come to Terre
Haute next Monday to try to make a
settlement. The franchise, as 1t
stands. gives the city of Terre Haute
practically nothing for the use of its
the traction syndicate the right to occu-
by every street and alley in the entire
city for interurban purposes. The de-
mand of the people was that the city
receive pay for the use Of its streets
in the same manner as Indianapolis
and other cities. Four of the nine
members of the council were in favor
of passing the franchise ordinance in
June, but when they found out the real
sentiments of the people, the council
men changed their positions, and last
night every one of them voted to kill
the franchise. The city will now in
sist that the MCGOWAN syndicate pay
for the use of the streets, give six tick
cts for a quarter on the city street car
lines and transfers from city cars to
interurban cars, and from interurban
to city cars.

One day the Mellon bank in Pitts
burg was amazed to receive from an
unknown man signing himself, H. G.
Prick" a letter requesting the loan OF
$4,000. He had very little to offer in
the way of security, the writer said,
but he pledged his word that If the loan
was made it should be returned with in
terest. The audacity of the request in
terested the banks head, and he sent
a trusted agent to find out about this
man Frick When the agent made his
report the bank decided to make the
loan. The $4,000 was the foundation
of the colossal fortune of Henry Clay
Frick. Not only did he return the
principal with interest, but he subse-
quently gave business to the Mellon
bank which was worth hundred times
the amount of the original loan
