New York, Sept. 6.-The failure of
Watson & Co., members Of the New
York stock and produce exchanges
and of the Chicago board of trade,
was announced in those exchanges
yesterday. No cause was assigned for
the failure, nor was any estimate of
the liabilities and assets made public.
The firm has extensive connections in
the west, maintaining offices in Du-
luth, Minneapolis, Fargo and Winni-
peg. They are said to have carried
on one of the biggest grain brokerage
businesses in the country, besides
trading actively in railroad stocks,
particularly those of the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroads.
Frank Newell, manager of the firms
New York office, was named as the
assignee. The doors of the Office in
Broad street were closed after the an
nouncement of the failure. Herber B.
Shoemaker, counsel for the assignee,
gave out that expert accountants had
been put to work on the books and
that a statement of the financial con-
dition of the firm would soon be is
sued. He said also that the banks
holding Watson & Co.'s loans have
shown disposition to give the firm
an opportunity to extricate itself from
its difficulties. The members of the
firm are Louis T. Watson, Henry p.
Watson, Charles E. Anderson and
Herschell V. Jones. Louis T. Watson
is the only member of the firm resid-
ing in this city, the others being resi-
dents of Minneapolis.
Since its organization in 1901, the
firm had made a speciality of dealing
In grain futures. H. v. Jones, former
ly publisher of newspaper devoted
to the grain interests of the west,
travelled extensively in the wheat belt
and issued frequent reports of crop
conditions. 1t was generally under
stood that the firm had advised its
patrons to buy grain this year and
both the company and its patrons pre-
fitted thereby. The announcement of
its failure was therefore unexpected
on the produce exchange.
On the stock exchange, however, it
was understood that the firm held
heavy commitments in Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroad
stocks and that they suffered chiefly
from the enormous shrinkage in the
market values of those securities.
Announcement of the failure, on the
stock exchange had been discounted
by the traders, many of whom had
warning of it and had sold or made
contracts to sell stocks in anticipation
of decline. This was said to be the
cause of the weakness of the market
during the morning. The effect of
the failure having been discounted
before it was announced, prices ad-
vanced as soon as the news became
known, spectators for the decline
being compelled to buy at higher
prices in order to fill their earlier con-
tracts to sell.
On the grain market there was a
decline of 2 cents per bushel upon
the announcement of the failure, but
this was recovered later in the day.

CAUSE OF THE PROHIBITION
WAVE.

The Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin
of Saturday contained an editorial on
"The Wave of Prohibitionism." The
paper says:
"a wave of prOhibitionism is pass
inc over the country at the present
time 1t is particularly strong in the
South, but is by no means confined to
that section. What is it accomplish
ing for temperance?
"There is reason for the belief that
it is putting liquor beyond the reach
of the bulk of the colored population
in the southern states. To this extent
it may be effective in accomplishing
good. Beyond this, if the best infOr-
nation obtainable is not at fault, it is
very probably doing less good than
harm.
"a great practical gain for temper
anCe is effected wherever the drinking
of whisky is superseded by the drink
inc of beer. The alcoholic percentage
in beer is not much greater than in
bread. Beer drinking Milwaukee is
one of the most orderly large cities in
the United States "a city in which the
spectacle of drunkenness on the streets
is rarely seen, and in which temper
ance is the rule and intemperance the
rare exception in all classes of the
population"
Temperance is d cardinal virtue,

believe that the moderate use of bever-

Meets Death in Dali shaft.

Cuba City News: While employed
in sinking a new shaft at the Dali
mine on Tuesday last, John Staver,
aged a met with an accident which
resulted in his death about 1880 a. m.
1t appears that he was engaged at the
bottom of the shaft and had filled a
tub which was then hoisted. When
near the top, something caused the
tub to swerve thus releasing piece
of rock about four inches ip diameter.
This rock in falling. struck Staver
fully, on top of his head crushing it
and causing death about four hours
later. From all accounts, John STAY
er was an excellent workman and had
only been recently employed by the
management of the Dali mine. His
unfortunate demise is deeply mourned
by his many relatives and friends who
knew of his many good qualities.

Stories of newspaper scoops on mat
tiers of current news are many, but
it is seldom that a newspaper can
claim a beat upon a popular novel
Such a triumph in the discovery of a
popular novel was recorded recently
by The Chicago Record-Herald when
it printed serially "The wings of the
Morning." by Louis Tracy. The
judgment Of the paper has since been
verified by the unprecedented sale the
book has had both in the United
States and in England. The Record
Herald's keen judgment in fiction en-
ables its readers to get the best novels
often before they reach the book
stands, while its policy of giving just
the right amount daily and Sunday
makes it pleasure to follow it's seri-
ais.
A radical departure in Sunday jour
nalism was marked by the advent of
The Record-Herald. 1t is particular
ly strong in fiction, both serials and
short stories, and it has all the other
attractive features of the famous illus
trated weeklies and monthIies chal-
lenges comparison with them.

showed that the injuries received by
Lieber were the result of blows ad-
ministered by Walkersdorf in Bres-
lauer's barrel house, SOB East Water
street, on November q. DIR. John
Beffel testified that the injuries were
the direct cause of Lieber's death.
The verdict of the jury follows:
we, the jury find that the said J. Lieber's
death was caused by blow or blows at
Breslauer's saloon, administered by one
Charles Walkersdorf, on November 81, 4 D.
M, and we the jury, recommend that the
said Walkersdorf be placed in the hands OF
the proper authorities, and the case be SUBJ
jected to further investigation "
1t is not necessary for one to have
even a brief residence in Milwaukee
to gain a fair knowledge of what is
going on there. 1t is the testimony of
court judges, and others whose ex-
perience gives them right to deter
mine in the matter, that over seventy
five per cent of the crimes committed
are due, directly or Indirectly, to the
use Of Intoxicating beverages. This,
we believe to be true of Milwaukee,
Judging from the newspaper reports of
the crimes committed there. "Beer
drinking Milwaukee," as The Evening
Wisconsin is pleased to call that city,
has her low saloons, her dance halls
and her daily records of crime. Re-
ports of crimes committed in Milwau
kee, similar to the report above
quoted, quite frequently appear in
the daily newspapers. Restraint is
needed in Milwaukee as well as for
the 'colored population in the south
and people elsewhere. Prohibition
may, or may not, be the remedy. But
stricter regulation of the liquor traffic
is surely needed, as we'll as less boast
ing of the beneficial effects of that
which is said to make Milwaukee
famous. but which in reality tends to
the degradation of many of her people.

Good Roads and the County
Board,

The Darlington Republican, ournal:
If the county board has actually shell
we'd the good roads proposition and
intends to disregard the law it has
made a serious mistake. Surely there
is need for intelligent and systematic
work upon the roads in this country.
One or two of the main roads leading
out of Darlington are almost impass-
able every spring. Farmers and
others who use them lose more than
good roads would cost in the wear
and tear of horsefesh alone, to say
nothing of other losses.
There isn't county in the state that
can afford to disregard the new law.
That law has made possible at small
cost, above what is now for the most
part fOolishly expended, q system Of
excellent roads. In this age of ad-
vanced farming and improved meth
DDS for uplifting the farmer, there
should be given due consideration to
roads
