RAILROAD MAN
KILLED BY CARS
WELL KNOWN WALlA WALLAN
MET DEATH AT GRANGE
CITY,

Forest CornWell, well known in this
city when he was employed as a cab
man, was killed at l o'clock this morn
ing while switching at Grange City.
CornWell was between some cars and
was smashed between them when the
engine struck. His left foot was badly
mangled and internal injuries brought
about an almost instant death.
Mr.. Cornwell was known to a large
number of friends in Walla Walla
where he was for years a driver in the
employ of the Mcbride company. He
was one of the most popular hack driv-
ers in the city. A short time ago he
gave up that work and went to braking
on the O. r. & n. line between this city
and Spokane.
He is survived by a wife and three
small children, the largest of whom is
but seven years of age. He also has
a brother, DR.. Cornwell, of this city,
and another brother who lives in Mis-
souri,, pending whose arrival funeral
services will be deferred.

PLAN DEVISED
TO GET MONEY
COMMITTEE OF COMMERCIAL
CLUB HITS UPON PLAN TO
RAISE FUNDS.

At a meeting of the committee of the
Commercial club which was appointed
last night to see if some ready money
could not be found to tide affairs over
until the legality of the bond issue
could be settled, means whereby So
luton of the problem may be reached
were found.
The city has not as yet come within
$40 600 or $4,000 of its limit of bonded
Indebtedness. This has not been dis
puted by anyone. The whole issue of
100000 would come over this limit,
however. But it is thought that war
rants could be issued which would
just be within the limit set by law
The money thus raised would tide af-
fairs over until the legality of the
bond issue was finally settled.
The committee chose Max Baumeis-
ter as it's chairman and at once went
to work to devise some means out of
the difficulty. The above plan was hit
upon and the city attorney was called
in to pass upon the matter He has
taken it under advisement and if he
passes favorably upon it, it is likely
that money will be raised tomorrow
to keep the work on the buildings 60
ing until the much mooted matter of
the bonds is finally decided in court.

BE WISE In TINE
PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD TO
TRIFLE WITH ILL HEALTH.
Realizing This They Are Securing Dr..
Darrin's Services.

Walla Walla seems to be full of wise
people, judging from the steady stream
of callers at the offices of the we'll
known specialist, DR.. Darrin in Hotel
State.
He is making wonderful cures, and
letters of gratitude are being daily re-
ceived showing the satisfactory results
of his skill in treating diseases. The
following oper. card is an example OF
one selected from the many:
Could Not Rise From His Chair.
DR.. Darrin-Sir: l am one of the
lucky ones cured by you of a pain in
my back of four years standing. At
times l could not move or rise from
my chair. Can be referred to at my
home near the fair grounds.

HIGH RATES IN
MONEY MARKET
SECRETARY CORTELYOU HAS OF.
FERED ASSISTANCE AND MAY
INCREASE DEPOSITS.

Once more the stock market has fall
len under the domination of a strin-
| gent money marke,. Business in the
| interior is active, crop demands are
asserting themselves and the autumnaI
! demand for currency has set in with
its usual vigor. Coming at a time when
| our bank reserves are low. and when
our credit facilities abroad have been
curtailed, the natural result is high
rates for money, with a consequent de-
pressing effect upon securities. Secre-
tary Cortelyou has afforded consider
bile assistance, having thus far de-
posted about $20,OOO,0OO with the
banks within the time limit, which ex-
pired this weed. Whether he will still
| further increase these deposits is not
known; but the treasury balance is
now $65,000,00O and much depends on
the emergency. At the moment both
speculative and investment buying is
apparently exhausted. A fair recovery
: in securities has taken Mace from the
low prices of August, and the DISPOSE
ton is rather to take profits than to
make new commitments when money
finds such profitable employment out
side of the security market says Hen
ry Clews.
All Indications point to high rates for
money during the balance of the year.
Credit is still much extended and
bankers show a general inclination to-
ward contraction. In previous years
We have placed loans abroad to the
amount of 100000, 900 to $500. OOOO. 900.
This year it is doubtful if we could
place more than a fraction of that
sum. The export season is how on
and Europe is sure to take our wheat
and cotton with increasing freedom
and at good prices. Under ordinary
conditions we should be able to
count upon a considerable influx of
gold, but the great banks of Europe
are almost sure to resist any import
ant movement of the precious metal in
this direction at this time. Credit in
European centers is only just emerging
from period of great strain, and
the desirability of building up bank
reserves and restoring credit is just
as great there as here No doubt in
case Of emergency we could command
considerable foreign gold, especially
as the Bank OF England has much
strengthened its position, but the
movement Will only be made under
pressure. There has been further Ii
quotation on both domestic and for
eign account for those who received
assistance at the time of the August
collapse, and this was an element of
weakness. Foreign confidence in Amer
lean securities has been unquestion-
ably disturbed by recent disclosures in
traction circles, coming so closely af-
ter other misdeeds in high financial
circles; and this no doubt deprives
our market Of a support which it would
ordinarily have in times of reaction
