May See War
In Central America

Mexico City, July 8. - Word has
reached this city that President Cab
rera of Guatemala has caused the ar
rest of 160 citizens of that republic on
the charge of alleged completely in the
recent attempt to assassinate him. All
were thrown into prison and later
herded into squads of 30 and tried in
groups. Two bands have tried and
many been of the accused sentenced to
death. Among the men imprisoned are
some of the most wealthy and promi-
nent men in the country. The state
ment is made that these men have long
been on Cabrera's blacklist. and the
charges made against them were trum-
ped up for political reasons.
The report has created excitement
among Central America residents in
this city, and at mass meeting to be
held Sunday the matter will be dis
cussed.
When the news of the wholesale ar
rest became generally known, the dip
lomatic corps, with the exception of
Phillip M. Brown, the United States
charge d'sffaires, protested. No at
tention was paid to these protests by
President Cabrera.
The British minister was thereupon
charged with drawing up a note detail
ing the incidents of the trial, which
was characterized as a farce. This
note is to be sent to the powers.
The dispatch says that absolute chaos
reigns in Guatemala. Farmhands are
being impressed for military service,
and crops are rotting in the fields. The
rich are threatened with ruin unless
they contribute to the war fund.
Troops are being hurriedly rushed to
the Mexican frontier and the Hondur-
an borders. and San Salvador. Special
trains of artillery are being sent out to
the frontier. The legations are being
beseiged by relatives and friends of the
imprisoned men, who fear that they
will be unceremoniously put to death.

FRANCIS MURPHY is DEAD.
Apostle of Temperance Was Well
Know to Entire Nation.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Francis Murphy,
the apostle of temperance, died Sun
day.
Francis Murphy was an Irishman
by birth, first seeing the light of day
at Wexford on April "a, 1886. He re-
ceived a common school education
and on April 10, 1856, married Miss
Elizabeth ]. CHM of New York. He
served in the Union army during the
civil war and entered upon his ia
nous career as a temperance orator
by speaking at Portland, Me-, April
3, 1870. The organization of the Tenn
perance Reform Club of Maine was
largely due to his initiative, and he
became it's first president.
1t was at Pittsburg that national
renown was perhaps most clearly
focused upon him and when he spoke
there on November 26, 1876, at a
meeting which resulted in the signing
of the pledge by $4,000 people in the
"Old Home church"
His fame spread throughout the
country and he made frequent
speeches in behalf of temperance
with such effect that it is estimated
that 100000 people had signed
pledges of total abstinence through
his efforts. He made a successful
tour of England and served as chap
lain in the war with Spain. His resi-
dence was established in Pittsburg,
but most of his time was spent in
travelling, engaged in evangelistic
work.

NATIONS FAT BANK ROLL.
Fiscal Year Begins With Surplus of
More Than $87,OOO,OOO

Washington-So far as working pur-
poses are concerned the fiscal year OF
the government closed recently with
surplus of substantially sS7,000,000,
one of the largest net balances ever
shown. In the fiscal year 1902 there
was a surplus of $91, 1891, S72, but that
was the largest since 1890.
While the official figures for the
fiscal year will not be announced for
a few days, the figures available are
approximately accurate. They show
that in the year just closed the reve-
nue. was $685., 3O6134, and expenditures
$57S, 700, as compared with receipts
OF 94,454,121 for the last fiscal year
and expenditures of $56S, ,799, the
surplus in that year being $25,669,322.
There has been a tremendous in
crease in receipts in the year just clos
ing, while the expenditures have been
only about S10,000,00v in excess of last
year. The largest increase in receipts
has been from customs, although in
ternal revenue has shown a big gain.
The receipts this fiscal year in customs
were 1888, 23O, 126, and in internal reve-
rue $27O,3O9,3SS.
The customs receipts last year held
the record up to that time and this
years income from that source is
about $33,000,000 in excess of last
year.

ROCKEFELLER GONE
CHICAGO JUDGE WANTS HIM
TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.
oil Trust Business Is Being lnvesti-
uated-Strict Seach Is Being Made
Where II Is Thought the Oil Mag
mates May Be stoping-AIl Officers
of Company Are Subpoened.

Chicago.-United States writ serv-
ers from the court of Judge Lands
began preparations to circumvent
steps that may be contemplated by
John D. Rockefeller, head of the gi-
gantic Standard Oil monopoly, in
evading the necessity of coming to
Chicago to answer certain questions
that the court will put to him concern
ing the business of the oil trust which
will be put on July 6.
It was said at the federal building
that the local govement officials are
following out the desire of the ma
tional administration to bring Rookie
Teller to the witness stand where the
financial secrets and inner workings
of the giant corporations may be had.
According to some statements Judge
Lands is in reality aiding President
.Roosevelt's trust investigation policy.
United States Attorney Sims recently
went east for a mysterious conference
at Washington and 1t is believed that
he received instructions from the pres
ident to go after the big guns.
Copies of the subpenas issued for
the appearance of Rockefeller have
been sent to every place where it is
thought the oil magnate may be stop
ping. Dispatches from the east today
were unsatisfactory as to the present
whereabouts of the president of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
but wherever he may be there does not
seem much of a chance for him to
keep out of the reach of the federal
officers who, it is stated, may use force
in the serving of the writ.
Judge Lands also requested the
United States marshars office that all
the subpenas issued be served on all
the officers of the Standard Oil COM
pany, including Mr. Rockefeller, as
soon as possible.
Where is Rockefeller?
Cleveland, Ohio.-John d. Rookie
Teller is lost. He is not at Forest Hill,
Pontico Hills, with his relatives in
Massachusetts, at Lakewood, N. j., nor
in Georgia. There are two other places
where he is not. These are in Chicago
and Findlay, Ohio.

Sheen Men Strike 1t Rich

The Rea Bros, who the past few years
have handled many thousands Of sheep
through the Shepard feeding yards here,
have suddenly become rich through an
other source which is told in the follow
ing dispatch from Fargo:
With fortune of S3,25O,O0O in sight
and more coming, the Rea brothers of
Fargo and Montana are feeling easy
about keeping the wolf from the door.
They own big ranch in Montana where
they raise sheep which are fed in Fargo,
st. Paul and sometimes at Edgerton,
Wis, then shipped to the markets. They
are also known as big exporters of sheep.
Having occasion recently to sink another
we'll on their Montana ranch, they found
distractions. An investigation of the
trouble disclosed big copper vein. Both
the Heinze and the Amalgamated inter
ests wanted the mine, but the latter won
and the figure quoted with percentage
of the output of the mine is the amount
the Rea brothers will have to salt away,
and their property is still as good a
sheep ranch as ever.

IN base ball circles the topic of con-
versation all centers on the game to be
played at the Driving Park next Tues
day afternoon. Not because there is
any liability of it's being "the best game
of the season., but on account of the
fact that number of the players that
made Edgerton famous few years ago,
are going to make the lineup of one of
teams in Tuesdays game. Their oppo-
nents will be the high school aggrega-
tion and they are listed as swift players.
This insures good game. The proceeds
are to help purchase new uniforms for
the high school team. The Edgerton
Cornet Band will furnish music for the
occasion. The game will be called at
$3.50 and 25c will be the price of admis-
sion; ladies, 15c.
