No More Quotations.

The Sisseton office of the Wis
consin Grain & Stock Company
has been closed. This is the
result of the receivership and
the injunction proceedings in
United States court in st. Paul.
Ashley Coffman of St. Paul
was appointed receiver on
Saturday. The case against the
company is brought by the
United States, which charges
that the company was using the
mails for fraudulent purposes.
1t is claimed that the company is
nothing more than the old
Edwards-W Wood company, which
was prohibited from doing a
bucket shop business some time
ago.
While the receiver is supposed
to carry on business while the
matter is pending in court, it
seen S that he is not yet onto
the combination and that he
cannot get the quotation with
which to do business. There
fore no quotations are coming to
S~isseton. w. c.. Holland, the
local manager, says he has no
idea when business will be
resumed.

A good suggestion for keeping
moths out of dress suits or any
clothes for men and women, is
to make large bags of UNI
bleached muslin with drawing
strings at both top and bottom,
soak them in turpentine and
hang them in the air until the
odor is destroyed. Put the
clothes on a hanger, adjust and
draw the strings at both ends.
These bags are also excellent for
the storage of furs in summer.

the exception of kicking on the doors

MY interest and activity in the

my continued and undring interest
in helping to lift the standard of
policy of the institution to a place
where the boys and young men
brought to the Institution for reform,
might be treated on the basis of scien-
tif1c and Christian principles, rather
than to be simply subdued and con-

to mean any kind of a threat against
any one officially or personally. 1

SLOTHFUL CUBANS.
They Let Fever Get a Start While
Americans Were Out,

Washington, Aug. 21.-The war de-
partment today made public a long
cabled report from Governor Magoon
of Cuba which startled the medical Of
f1cers, showing as it does that in the
short period since the withdrawal of
the American government of interven-
ton and the Resumption of Amer
lean government by the Cuban army
of pacif1cation, there has been woeful
neglect of sanitary precautions and
an almost complete disregard of the
treaty obligations under which the
Palma government was placed to keep
the island clean and healthful so that
1t should no longer be a source of
danger and infection to the United
States and other countries.
The report also discloses the fact
that the fever in this last outbreak
has not been confined to the hospital
corps men, but has extended to other
soldiers. He also indicates that the
evil sanitary condition can not be
cured this year in spite of the most
vigorous efforts on the part of the
American authorities. in which 1t ap-
pears they received little support from
the native Cuban physicians.

TAFT TO STAY IN.
| BOnaDarte Also Says He Will Try to
Remain in Cabinet.

Washington. Aug. 21.-Reports that
secretary Taft will resign from the
cabinet shortly after opening the Phil
ippine assembly and will return to this
country a private citizen, wired out
from Columbus, o.. attracted no little
attention in official and political
circles
Secretary Taft's closest intimates say
that in case he gets the nomination
for the presidency next summer he will
at once resign from the cabinet. But
until he does get it, or until he finds
that his candidacy is being embar-
raised by remaining in the cabinet he
will not resign. They do not admit
that he feels it is being embarrasse d
at this time.
For the present he feels he is aligned
for certain reforms. and legislation of
the utmost Importance to the insular
possessions. especially the Philippines.
He hopes to see much accomplished at
the coming session of congress, and
would for that reason much dislike to
give up his cabinet post.
Has Charge to Keep.
The secretary feels a personal inter-
est in the Philippines. He feels he is
sort of guardian of their welfare
and that the islanders look to him to
do certain things. He wants to stay
in the cabinet long enough to see their
expectations realized at least to the
extent of having a Philippines tariff
Attorney General Bonaparte is not
disturbed by reports that he will soon
have to retire from the cabinet of
President Roosevelt because of flip
pant and undignif1ed" remarks that
had a depressing influence upon the
stock market in New York.
All Mr.. Bonaparte would say was
that he would try to remain in the
cabinet Just little while longer" and
that he thought he would be success
full.
Too Idle or Too Busy?
Similar rumors of his resignation
were started five or six months ago,
but the stories then represented the
president as greatly dissatisfied with
the inactivity of the department of
justice in the prosecution of the cam
paign against trusts and corporations.
Mr.. Bonaparte, it was stated, was
practically doing nothing for the gov
eminent, and was spending the great
er part of his time in Baltimore look
ing after his private affairs. The i'm
patient soul of the president, according
to the stories. could not brook such
outrageous delay in flying at the
threats of the Standard Oil and other
ordinations.
Mr. Bona parte and his assistants got
to work, and now it is the lamentable
activity of the attorney general that
threatens to make a breach between
himself and the president. Besides
being so active. it is claimed Mr.. Bona
parte has talked too much, and that
the president is much displeased at
this talking.
