COMPLAINT OF A SHOPPER.

A COMMUNICATION in The Star OF yes
n terday deals rather sarcastcally with the
Board of Trade in regard to the campaign to i'm
prove business conditions in Wilmington and de-
velop trade at home spirit Naturally it was TO
be expected that few bricks would be thrown at
the board but this will not be the means of halt
ing the work that has been inaugurated by that
body. The writer of The Star letter speaks from
the standpoint Of the shopper who is confronted
by condition and not theory The Board Of
Trade is not trying to theorize, but is endeavor-
ing to meet conditions as they actually exist
Complaints similar to that made by the writer
OF The Star letter have reached the Board Of
Trade Committee, and this is one side OF the ques-
ton that is to be considered By no means is the
board confning its energies to able papers upon
the why's and whereiores."
Doubtless the writer of the letter who, with
notebook in hand, is cunning through two cities
to solve the problem of securing different shades
of silk and other matters, has found many in
stances where things can be obtained outside Of
Wilmington cheaper than they can be bought in
this city, but many instances could be cited
where the reverse is true We have no doubt
that the committee OF the board would be glad to
receive the information that the writer OF The
Stars letter has obtained In fact there is a COM
mttee of the board TO receive and investigate Just
such complaints, so that methods can be applied
TO remedy the trouble if possible and reduce as
much as possible cause for such a letter as that
in The Star.

PRoBE EXPREss COMPANIES.

THE extortions practiced by the express
\ companies of the country are to be inves-
tigated by the Indiana Railroad Commission
with a view OF finding a remedy to afford the
people relief from the exactions charged by these
concerns.
The commission, provided it has independ-
ence and facilities, and power for making the in
quiry thorough, can accomplish much good not
only for the people of Indiana, but for residents
throughout the country. The Indiana commits
sion proposes to examine the contracts between
the express companies and the directors Of the
railroad companies and this inquiry is expected
to show up considerabl greed and graft.
Here in Delaware the merchants and shippers
generally have suffered through the high charges
and often poor service of the companies. Every
effort at relief that has been made BY residents.
especially in some Of the lower State towns. has
been baked

STOVES IN PORTO

Speaker Of House Of Dele

Have Been Enacted
By THE JOURNALS Special wire.

BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. July ga lot Of
foolish laws have been foisted upon
the people OF Porto Rico. according
TO Senior Jose DeDiego, speaker Of
the house Of delegates of that island.
who has brought his troubles to Wash
ington, and will carry them on to
oyster Bay.
For instance, he calls attention to one
law copied bodily from a New York
statute. which contains a provision
that "A stove shall be placed in every
jury room"
He does not think Porto Rico needs
stoves, as much as some other things.
Il have come to tell the president
the truth about the feeling of the peo-
pie Of Porto Rico in regard TO the
United States and the laws of the
island" he said today.
Others have talked to the president
but told him only what they thought
he would like to hear ! am here TO
speak Of the exact conditions.
The people are not satisfied. They
want either citizenship 20 the United
states or self-goyernment They are
as well qualified as Cuba and perhaps
better, The laws do not suit us. Poe
try can be translated and made to fit
another language, but laws cannot
The same laws will not rule all peo-
pies, and we have been treated to a
diversity of them. We are at the
mercy Of the men the president sends
down TO us. Fortunately they have
been good men, but we tremble to think
what might be. No man who comes
from the United States can understand
as and make satisfactory laws"
Diego predicts that II the proposed
French tariff becomes a law Porto
Rico will suffer a blow from which it
can never recover.
Among other things he will ask that
a school of agriculture be established
in the islands to teach the natives
modern methods Of farming,

Sold Big Ranch.

Last Wednesdays Wichita Beacon
has the following to say concerning the
real estate deals being carried on at Pro-
tection by Messrs. ]. P. Caudill and r..
!. Keller. formerly Of Hazelton. which
will be of interest to their Barber county
friends:
81. P. Caudill and R. |. Keller Of Pro-
tection, kan., who have recently become
famous in real estate circles by selling the
big Turkey Track ranch in Comanche
county,were in the city last evening. They
left for Protection this morning after tram
sacting business and calling on number
Of acquaintance.
The big Turkey Track ranch con-
sists Of o,l05 acres and the sale price
was $o1 ,542. The land was sold to an
Iowa trust company. Messrs. Caudill
and Keller will, as agents for the trus
company, divide the land into tracts for
agricultural and stock raising purposes and
put it on the market again soon.
Finances are not worrying the peo-
pie Of the great Comanche county valley
that lies around Protection said Mr..
Caudill and Mr.. Keller. "Of course the
people out our way have money in the
banks but they are not worrying abou,
it. If at any time they sight any worry
coming their way they get out of doors
and look at the thousands of evidences Of
prosperity that are to be seen on every
side.
I'VE have sure cure for the blues
out in Bluff creek valley. You would
have to travel miles and miles to find a
more contented and happier lot ol
farmers and stockmen. They are too
close to nature to take stock in panicky
talk. There is an anddote for uneasiness
in every direction. For twenty miles in
every direction one can see broad alfalfa
fields. acres Of wheat and corn and pas
tures Of cattle.

Wandered Away at Night.

Mr.. Frank Thomas, father of Miss
Zella Thomas and Mrs. B. E. Wads-
worth, is in critical condition at the home
of Mrs. Wadsworth a mile west of this
city, as result Of being badly frozen
Sunday night. Mr.. Thomas for the past
several years has made his home with his
daughter and for almost year his mind
has been failing at intervals. Sunday
night was an exceptionally cold night for
this season Of the year and Mr.. Thomas
got out Of his room and wandered away.
On Monday morning when Mrs. Wads-,
worth went to his room to call him for
breakfast she was horri6ed to find him
gone and search was at once instituted
by Mr.. Wadswortb. J. M. Hall and
Gordon Lindley. After tracking him for
some distance, Mr.. Hall found him in
Miss Best's field close to the Medicine
river unconscious and severely frozen. He
had crossed the river. had been thorough
ly saturated with water and his clothing
consisting Of underclothing. pantaloons
and stockings were frozen to his body.
His body was also badly bruised, indi-
eating that he had faller over embank-
ments and possibly from bridges. 1t is a
distance Of fully three-fourths of mile
from the Wadsworth home to the place
where Mr.. Thomas was found. 1t is not
known how long he had been out but
the indications are that he wandered
around at least three or four hours. He
left the house by climbing out through a
window. MIR. and Mrs. Wadsworth
sleep upstairs and MIR. Thomas had a
room down stairs. Mrs. Wadsworth al
ways saw that her father was in bed and
properly cared for every night before she
retired, and then securely fastened the
doors. She did so on Sunday night but
had no thought Of his leaving his room
and, especially, would not have suspect
ed his getting out through window.
Dr.. Donovan was called as soon as
the unfortunate man was found and has
been giving him careful attention since.
His hands and feet are badly frozen and
his condition is very bad. His general
health, prior to this occunence,was good.
His chances for recovery are meager,
and even in the event Of his recovery, il
is feared that his limbs will be rendered
,:--::ess. Mr.. Thomas is 78 years DID,.
This is one Of the most heartendine
and pidable cases Of in6rmity that ou1
community has ever witnessed. The suf-
fering that the aged man must have en-
dured can scarcely be imagined. In their
great sorrow the daughters have the
sympathy Of their numerous friends.

To the People of Medicine Lodge and
Barber County.

We desire to express to the business
men, farmers, laborers and to every bank
depositor in the territory tributary to
Medicine Lodge our appreciation Of their
loya! treatment and steadfast friendship.
When we were notified by our reserve
agents that no more currency could be
sent to us until the panic in New York
had subsided, we were obliged to follow
their plan and cease to pay out currency,
in order to maintain local stability and
protect our customers. The business men
Immediately averted what might other
wise have become serious situation by
announcing their willingness to accept
checks for all accounts and merchandise.
Their splendid action has made it
possible for business to continue in normal
conditions. They met a disagreeable
situation with courage and good judg-
ment, and reduced to a minimum the
discomfort In business caused by the un-
expected tying up Of currency.
The depositors in general have taken
the same loyal and patriotic action. They
have all used calmness and judgment in
discussing the situation, and have made it
possible for financial institutions not to
suffer from the unexpected and causeless
panic created by Stock gambling in New
York.
With the government taking a hand
to bring about normal conditions, and
with the people Of the country under
standing perfectly the situation, it is not
believed that any financial disaster can
ensue from present conditions.
When the situation is eventually solv-
ed through the release Of the currency
now tied up, the condition Of the busi-
ness world is bound to be healthful to
the entire country.

John Tyree PardOned.

John w. Tyree, who was sentenced
to the state penitendary on charge oi
statutory rape in 1904, was pardoned
by Gov. Hoch on Saturday. The COM
planning witness was Mary Graham, Ty-
rees sister-m-law. Since Mr.. TYee' 5
imprisonment she has written a letter to
the governor Stating that he was innocent
and that she testified against him under
influences that she feared. Tyree was
prosecuted, in the FIRST instance. over the
objections Of the parents of the girl and
there was always great doubt as to the
girls age. Many believed that she was
older than the Statutory limit. Soon after
the trial the family moved to Crawford
county. Their reputation was none too
good and their departure was not regret
ted.
At heart, John Tyree was not bad
man. He was an honest, hard worker
and always faithful to his employers.
Fully ninety-6ve per cent Of the people
here who are familiar with all Of the
facts in the case, do not hesitate to say
that he has been mjustly punished.
At the time Of MIR. Tyree's arrest and
conviction the Index took the position
that there was too much unnecessary
severity shown in his case and that he
was unfairly treated; time seems tc
have indicated that expression.
