you would not accept counterfeit money, why accept counterfeit goods.

Good money Is made by the government in which you have implicit faith and conf- dence. Good goods are made by manufac-- turers who are willing to stake their regulations on the quality of the material offered to you through the medium of their advertisements in this magazine. Counterfeit goods are not ad- yertised. The reason for 1t IS, they will not bear the close scrutiny to which genuine ad vertised goods are sub bjected. Counterfeit mon- ey pays more profit to the countefeiter. Coun- terfeit goods are offered to you for the same reason.

SENATOR BORAH TO
Be TRIED SOON

BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 25.-It was
announced in the Statesman Wednes-
day morning that w. e. Borah is to
be placed on trial Immediately in the
land fraud cases, for which indict-
ments have been pending against him
for some time.
Following is the dispatch publish
ed by the Statesman relating to the
case:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Attor-
ney General Bonaparte, when asked
today concerning the plans to be fol-
lowed by his department in dealing
with the pending land fraud and 9th
er criminal cases in the public land
states, said that an effort would be
made to clear the docket of all these
cases as soon as practicable In re-
lation to the indictment that is pend
ing against United States Senator w.
f. Borah of Idaho he said a speedy
trial would be given Senator Borah
and others included in the indict-
ment. Action in this case has not
been pressed because Senator Borah
was actively engaged in the import
ant duty of aiding in the prosecution
of the case against VIM. ID. Haywood
With that case out of the way there
is no further reason for delay and
there will be an immediate trial.

COMPLICATIONS
ARE NOT EXPECTED
France Proceeding On The Theory
That Morocco Trouble Will
End Satisfactorily.

PARIS. Aug. 27.-Premier Glenn
enceaus will return to Paris tomor-
row from Marien bad. and will go inn
mediately to Rambouilet, where he
will give President Falieres an ac-
count of his interview with King Ed
ward. The foreign office here Of
ficially assumes that diplomatic COM
plications over Morocco are not likely
to occur, as the official attitude of
Germany since the crisis has been one
of complete approval.
Ambassador Cambon's visit to
Chancellor Won Buelow at Norderny,
although arranged prior to the fight
ing at Casabanca, and having no Of
fetal relation to the Moroccan situ-
alton, is expected to have good ef-
feet in enabling the two governments
to understand each other. Neverthe-
less the attitude of the German news
papers, which are constantly filled
with insinuations and innuendo, Gre
ates some misgivings lest the German
government in the event of the situ-
alton demanding stronger measures,
abruptly change its front as it did
several times during the Algeciras
convention
Some of the French papers are
fairly convinced that this is what will
happen, but the foreign office gives
no encouragement to tnis assumption
and is proceeding on the theory first
that France and Spain will not be
forced to exceed the mandate which
they received at Algeciras, and sec
ondly, that if the unexpected happens
all the powers will Loyalty support
whatever measures are found nee
essary to insure safety of lives and
property of the Europeans in Moroc'
co.
The government has received in
formation showing that German
merchant at Tangier, who is notori

man newspapers, crticising the ac

NO NECESSITY
FOR DEPRESSION
Boston Member of Stock Exchange
Tells Fellow Members To
"Checr Up"

BOSTON, Aug. 27.-A member of
the Boston Stock Exchange who does
not care to have his name quoted,
but who represents an important in
vestment, says:
How much longer can this big
stick scare be worked on the mar
ket? How much longer will the
press, the politician and the brokers
themselves keep striving to kill what
little business there is left for the
stock exchanges of the country?
with good crops and good bust
ness it would seem as if we had a
fairly firm foundation to rest upon,
and if brokers would go short of hys-
terra and pessimism and stop railing
at the administration, it would be
much better for them and for the
country at large.
Everything in sight is not blue
and the cry that it is, is about played
out. The money situation is not
good, but this will right itself before
long, and what is the use of wreck
ing the ship as we approach the
shore?
"Forewarned is forearmed, and
stocks are in strong hands.
Now, fellow-brokers, why not
cheer up and give the market a
chance instead of constantly predict
ing cyclones and hurricanes every
time few rays of sunshine appear?

BUILDERS LOCKOUT AT GOLD
FIELD SETTLED-WORk
TO BE RESUMED.
APPEAL TO WESTERN FEDERATION
Miners Have Several VcXatious Mat
tcrs Which They Desire
RecOnsidered.

GOLDFIELD, Aug. 27.-It is re-
ported here that an appeal has been
made to the national organization of
the Western Federation of Miners for
settlement of the controversy be-
tween the Consolidated company and
the miners. There are several veXa-
tious matters to be considered which
were supposed to have been agreed
upon at the January conference. The
agreement reached then was that
watchmen We're to be neutral; that
they were not to be required to join
the federation. Last winter it was
agreed that carpenters who were not
regularly employed at their craft
around the mines should be exempt
from the conditions imposed upon
timber men.
The builders lockout has been set
tied by an agreement that the plumb
ers shall receive 50 a day, but shall
give a notice of ninety days before
calling strike All the trades have
agreed to the same condition, and
work will be resumed Monday.

figures prove that the actual cost of
such supervision to the states is but
about ten per cent of what they
charge and receive for it; but in at
least one state bill was passed dur
ing the winter which increased the
burdens of the companies for fees,
thereby adding to the cost of insur-
ance, and in the present state of pub
lie sentiment, no insurance commits
sioner could secure a reduction of
these eXactions even though some of
them believe they ought to be scaled
down. Many states tax companies of
other states at a higher rate than
they do their own, thereby making
the policy holder pay that much more
for his insurance as a penalty for pat
roniZing outside companies. Some
states have enacted laws under which
is eXacted that species of tax known
as reciprocal, but which is more aptly
termed retaliatory. This tax is joy
to the state commissioner, whose
conception of his duty is to make a
showing of moneys collected, but the
cost of insurance in the retaliating
state is thereby increased, and the
tax is condemned and characterized
as a relic of barbarism by many
thoughtful men.
Your committee view with alarm
the growing tendency in many states,
already evidenced by enactments in
Texas and Arkansas. to require that
large proportion of the reserve val
ue of life insurance written by any
company within the state shall be in
vested within that state. Such pol
lev is open to two very serious OBJ
iections. The first is that such an
interference with the management OF
the company's business must serious
ly cripple its efficiency. and there
by work an injury to the policy hold

rightly solicitous to protect. II such

evitably be to lower the rate of inter

to increase unnecessarily the cost OF

objection to such enactments is thai

MOTHER DIES AND
LEAVES TWO BABES
A TRAGEDY OF EVERYDAY LIFE
THAT OCCURRED AT THE
GIROUN NINE.

Seated in a local restaurant last
night was a young man, in appear
ance a mere boy, but weighted with
sorrows that have broken down many
a stalwart man. On his lap was a
babe, the pretty little fellow anxious
ly awaiting a glass of milk which the
waiter was pouring ont for him. Ten
derly, yet lacking that maternal care
that only a mother could administer
to. her offspring, this heartbroken
father administered to the prattling
babes wants. Three miners watched
the little fellow as he gladly partook
of his supper. A News writer hap
pened to be present at the time and
noticed that there was something un-
usual about the entire procedure;
there was a general feeling among
the few present that the dazed young
father and his child figured in one
of life's everyday tragedies.
Three or four months ago Law
renee Karlson, his wife and the baby
boy arrived in Ely from st. Anthony
Idaho. The father had position as
carpenter at the GirouX mine and
was doing very nicely. A few days
ago, however, a little stranger ar
rived at the Karlson household and
Monday the mother passed away. The
father was in desperate straits, not
having funds enough to pay the doe
tors bills, let alone the expenses OF
shipping the remains of his poor wife
back to their home town. His par
ents are well-to-do, but when he en-
deavored to dispatch them for as
sistance, he learned that there was a
telegrapher's strike and that the only
way he could inform them of his
plight would be by writing.
But the miners soon learned of his
position and in a few hours had pass
ed the word among those on shift
and when the subscriptions were all
in a purse of $300.25 was turned
over to Karlson. The body was en-
balmed and this morning the father
and the few-months-old babe leave
for ST. Anthony with the remains of
the dead mother.
As Karlson, who is "A years OF age,
was about to leave the restaurant
last night the big miner, who had
come down with him from Kimberly,
grasped him firmly by the hand and
said:
"My boy, be brave. I'm old enough
to be your father and | grieve with
YOU. It's tough. | know, but
And he was unable to proceed any
further. The young man bundled up
his son and as if in trace started
on his way. The other child has been
left in the care of kindly woman
at the mine.
