MR.. ROMANS NO BETTER.

We regret to learn that Mr.. j. B.
Romans is not improving in health
but that on the contrary his condition
is source of great anxiety to his
friends and relatives. Last week DIR.
Hill the eminent alienist of Des
Moines was called to see him but he
was unable to offer the encouragement
that had been hoped. 1t is possible
that Mr.. Romans may conclude to go
to some place where he may receive
special care and treatment. The news
of Mr.. Romans illness has caused
great grief among his many friends.
For years he has been one of the
strong men of this community and of
the state. land his present affection
cannot fail to arouse the greatest
grief and sympathy. ~

1t is given to US all, in sorrow and

inexpressibly sad when it takes from

prime. a man surrounded by the sur
passing love of wife and mother, a
man whose short life has been with
out reproach, who stood a peer among
his fellows, type Of the best that
our Christian civilization can pro-
duce. 1t is thus. with aching hearts
and tears of sympathy and love, that
hundreds of friends and acquaintance
have stood in spirit by the death
bed of Bonnie Talcott and watched
the life-spark as it flickered and went
out. We know not at this time for
whom our hearts go out the most in
sympathy. For the young man, call

for the brother. the lifelong COM

for the aged mother. who wrought

Priest RenlieS to PODe.

In his reply to Pope Plus ", for which
he has been virtually communicated
by the head of the church, Father Tyr
rell, the English Jesuit, refuses to accept
the implications of the Pope's document
that he, as a Modernist, places himself
outside the pale of the church. In Sc
we're terms he arraigns the document for
identifying true Catholicism with sci
ence theory and psychology that are as
strange as astrology to the modern mind,
and are practically unknown outside SEM
mary walls, save to the historian of phi
losophy." He says the encyclical as an
argument falls dead for every one who
regards its science theory as obsolete
for all who believe that truth has not
been stagnating for centuries in theolog-
ical Summaries, but has been steadily
streaming on with ever-increasing force
and volume in the channels which liberty
has opened to its progress. He charac-
teriZeS the document as "a clear and
final demonstration of the futility of pour
ing new wine into old bottles; of the at
tempt to gather the experiences of the
twentieth century under the categories of
the thirteenth; of coming to terms
with an age that is dead and buried
in a word, of coquetting with the impos-
sible."

Dedication of a LARGE Sum.

Chicago Millionaire Charged with
Dedication of Large Sum.
John r. Walsh, the Chicago railroad
magnate and millionaire, intimate
friend of Senators, Congressman and
kings of finance, faced the federal
defalcation of $15,O00,00O. Because of
former associations with the banker,
Judge Lands, of Standard Oil fame,
refused to hear the case, and Judge
Anderson of indianapolis presided in
his stead. Walsh has an array of coun-
sci, whose fees are said to aggregate
$250,O00. John S. Miller, the $780,
600 Standard Oil lawyer" Attorney
Hynes and other legal stars are among
them.
Among the witnesses ordered to APP
pear for the government are the direc-
tors and officers Of the defunct Chicago
National bank, Home Savings bank and
Equitable Trust Company, three institu-
tons wrecked by Walsh methods; Ma
tional Bank Examiner Moxey, Eta Nc
Lean, the federal attorneys former
stenographer, who was arrested for the
theft of papers from his office, and the
dummy signers of notes. Miss Nc
Lean was released later.
Walsh is under two indictments of
more than $50 counts for the alleged
loOting of the banks. The funds were
used in 1905, it is charged, for building
his railroads in southern Indiana.
Walsh began business life as news
boy. Walsh was considered the finan-
cial king of Chicago.

NEW YORK.

Good progress has been made in accom-
modating the country to the changed
financial conditions, this. too, with strik
ingly little friction, considering the scare
ity of currency and the widespread sub
stitution of credit instruments for actual
cash. At the same time wholesale and
jobbing trade has quoted down very per-
ceptibly. and the disposition in Industrial
lines has been to curtail production wher-
ever possible, the aim being TO avoid I'M
necessary or possibly burdensome accumu-
lations of stocks.
There is a rather more optimistic tone
prevailing this week than last, the out
growth of the better feeling at the East,
the large arrivals of gold from Europe,
and the idea that basic conditions, both
as regards the purchasing power of the
people and the absence of large, stocks,
are better than in some preceding years
of stress. There are, it is true, increasing
evidences that the level of commodity
prices has been forced unreasonably high,
and that the process of readjustment will
compel numerous revis.ons.-Bradstreet

PANAMA HAVEN FOR sPrrsrERs.
Isthmus Looms Large as Matrimon-
iaI Market. Miss Roswell Says


ANY woman who wants to get married
has only to 20 to Panama, according to
Miss Helen Varick Boswell, VINO recent
ly returned from that land of matrimo-
NAL opportunities, after having organ
lied, on behalf of the Secretary of War,
a canal zone federation of women's clubs.
You may not think it, Miss Boswell
said in talking to the Women's Repub
lican Club at Delmonico's, New York,
but no woman need remain unmarried
in Panama. The activities of Cupid on
the isthmus are tremendous. There are
scores of lonely bachelors all longing, no
doubt, for the comforts of home, and
so the place is a great matrimonial mar
ket." Miss Boswell also gave some 9th
er interesting glimpses of unofficial life
at Panama. Of the class distinctions she
said: There are the official ladies and
the clerical ladies and the steam-shovel
ladies, and the official ladies feel that
their position is much superior to that of
the clerical ladies. That is why it need
ed an outsider to organize the women into
clubs. There were women on the isthmus
who could have done the work just as
well as l did, but they couldn't innocent
ly mix with all classes and appear not
to know that they existed

EMERGENCY CHECKS ARE

Clearing House Decides Issuance
Of Scrip Will Help Local
Financial Situation.

At meeting of the Chicago Clearing
House Association, which was attended
by representatives of the nineteen
member banks, it was decided, upon
recommendation of the Clearing House
committee, to issue checks of small de
nominations, to be used as medium of
exchange in lieu of currency until such
time as local banks shall see fit to re-
sumo specie payments. The new checks
will be in denominations of 81, 50, So
and $40, and will be issued by the
Chicago Clearing House Association in
payment of clearing house certificates
of large denominations, which have
been previously issued to the banks
1t was decided, for the convenience
Of handling Them that the checks will
be drawn on only four member banks
of the association. These banks are
the First National, the Corn Exchange
National, the Continental National and
the Commercial National. When any
bank in the Clearing House Associa-
ton desires a supply of the checks
it must present to the manager of that
organization clearing house certificates
of the larger denominations for the
amount of small checks it applies for
The checks of small denominations,
which are guaranteed by the clearing
house, will then be drawn, based on
one of the banks designated, in pay
ment of the clearing house certificates
to the association, and the checks will
be made payable to the bank which ap-
piled for them, or bearer, and will,
therefore, be transferable from one hold
er to another without Endorsement.
Banks receiving the checks will pay
them out to customers for pay roll pur-
poses and they will pass into the hands
of employees, from them into the hands
of merchants and others, and from the
latter back into the banks, which will
accept them as deposits.

MRS. JULIE c. WYMAN DEAD.
Left Note to Her Daughter Telling
of Intended Suicide.

of Intended Suicide.
After sending a note to her daughter
saying she intended to commit suicide,
Mrs. Julie Wyman, formerly an opera
singer, and said to have been the divorced
wife of Walter c. Wyman Of Chicago
shot and killed herself, it is believed, as
she was found dead in her apartments in
Lexington avenue, New York. This was
the second violent death in the family
within the month, Edward Z. Wyman, a
brother Of Walter, having fallen from the
gang plank of the battleship Louisiana
on Nov. and received injuries from
which he died Mrs. Wyman separated
from her husband several years ago. At
this time she took her daughters from the
family home in Evanston, ILL.,, transported
them to New York and was taken aboard
en- outgoing French steamer by launch
which was in waiting in the North river.
Thus she eluded detectives employed by
her husband. The daughters were placed
in convent in France. Mrs. Wyman
sang with Melba at the Waldorf-Astoria
ten years ago and was famed as an ora
torio soloist throughout this country. On
Saturday Clara, then in Yonkers, received
note saying that her mother intended
to commit suicide and telling how the fiat
could be opened. Because Mrs. Wyman
had frequently threatened TO kill herself
the daughter paid no attention to the note
at first. Later, becoming alarmed, she
went to New York, and, calling some
friends, entered the fat.

MANY HURT IN COLLISION.
Cars Crash Near Seattle and Forty
Passengers Are Injured.

Forty men, women and children were
injured, twenty-six of them seriously, in
a street car accident near Seattle, Wash,
when two speeding cars crashed into each
other in a dense fog. Both cars were
smashed. The accident was the result
of the foolhardy attempt of the conductor
and motorman of a city-bound car to steal
a switch on an outbound car. The track
runs over a trestle above the tide flats
and the fog made it impossible for the
men in charge to see each other until
they were only a few feet apart. The
coaches narrowly escaped topping over
into deep water. Several of the victims
may die, among them Motorman H. L.
Huffine, who attempted to steal the
switch. The place where the accident oc-
Cured is several miles from Seattle on a
single track line and the injured passen-
gers were without medical attention until
special relief car arrived. Among the
injured is G. l.. Harbaugh, 81 travelling
passenger agent for the Pennsylvania rail-
road. G. w. Smith, assistant librarian of
the State university, also is a victim.
