NOT FIT PLACE FOR HIM
Sheriff Wants Thaw Removed From
County Jail.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Sept ed
ward E. Perkins, attorney for Robert
w. Chanler, announced that he will
make application before Supreme
Court Justice Morschauser for an or,
der removing Harry K. Thaw from the
Dutchess county Jail to some other
institution.
Mr.. Perkins said that the applica-
tion will be based on the report of an
inspection made by George McI.augh-
lin, secretary to the state prison COM
mission, and is supported by an af-
fidavit by Sheriff Chanler that the Jail
is not a suitable place for the con-
fnement of Thaw as an insane person.
ThaW has been in the Duchess
county Jail since last May, when he
was committed there temporarily by
Justice Morschauser pending the de-
termination of habeas corpus proceed
ings instituted by Thaw to obtain his
release from the Matteawan asylum.
When the application was made JUS
tice Morschauser refused to grant the
order transferring Thaw from the
Dutchess county Jail to some other
institution. Judicial comfy restrain
ing him from interfering with the Or
der of the justice who committed
Thaw was the reason given by JUS
tice Morschauser.

Y, fell distance Of 500 feet to his
death. Among the witnesses of the
frightful plunge were Mrs. Jones and
child.
Jones had been at the fair grounds
with his dirigible balloon Boomerang.
When the aeronaut reached height
of more than 500 feet the spectators
were amazed to see small tongues of
flames issuing from under the gas
bag in front of the motor. At this
time the balloon had passed out of the
fair grounds.
Many persons in the great crowd en-
deavored to apprise Jones of the dan
ger, but several minutes elapsed be-
fore he noticed the fire. Then he
grasped the rip cord and by letting out
the gas endeayored to reach the earth
The machine had descended but
short distance when sudden burst
of fame enveloped the gas bag, the
framework Immediately separating
from the bag.
Jones fell with the frame of his mo-

him he was lying under it. The ply
sicians who were in the crowd found
that Jones had no chance to survive
as he was injured internally and his
spine was broken.

Southwestern Roads Declare Advance
s in Rates Necessary.
Chicago, Sept. 4.-More than score
OF the railroads named as defendants
in the recent complaint of the Texas
railroad commission against the liz
crease in freight rates put into effect
on Aug. 10 now have filed their an
sEaeTs with the interstate commerce
commission.
Sixty-seven Southwestern roads and
other carriers were named in the
complaint, which alleged not only that
the rates were unreasonable but that
their PRONUNCIATION by the Southwest
ern tariff committee was conspiracy
in restraint of trade The roads that
thus far have filed answers, according
to Chicago attorneys of the companies
involved, deny that the advances are
unreasonable.
The claim is made that increased
expenses of operation and increases
in the cost of materials and wages
made an advance absolutely neces-
sary.
It is understood that a formal hear
ing of the complaint before the inter
state commerce commission will take
place early in October.

MONEY In SHEEP.
Account with a Flock which Yielded
Good Profit.

Furnished by the Minnesota Far
mer's Institutes, st. Anthony Park,
st. Paul, Mimi
The problem of securing reliable
farm labor for dairying and general
farming is confronting many farmers
in these times. Poor seasons for
yield and quality of small grains have
reduced the profits on many grain
farms in Minnesota. Do you realize
as a farmer that Minnesota is one of
the best located and best adapted
states in the Union for the growing
and feeding of sheep? Do you realize
how good flock of sheep will help to
solve your labor problem and return
you a profit in unfavorable grain
years? Read the following account of
80 ewes owned and cared for by far
mer in southwestern Minnesota. These
figures were accurately gathered and
the amounts of feed weighed and re-
corded by an employee of the Mime
sofa Agricultural Experiment Station.
On Jan. 1st. 1905, the flock consist
ed of 80 ewes ranging from one to
five years of age. They were fed hay
and fodder corn with light grain ra-
ton during the winter months. In.
the spring the flock was turned into
the grain fields and allowed to Craze
until the grain was s inches high.
During the summer they were allow
ed the run of the pasture and farm
stead, and after the grain was stacked
in the fall they were turned into the
grain fields where they picked their
living until October 26th, when ewes
and lambs were all sold.

FIRST SETTLERS.
Major Scobey Receives Visit from
Old indian Residents.

On Tuesday, Major y. r. A. Scobey
received a visit at his farm on Pomme
deTerre lake from three Wahpeton and
Sisseton Indians from the Fort Peck
Indian Reservation in Montana. Their
names were 'Ike Blunt" ''Big Foot''
and ''One Red Horn."' They were on
their way to the Sisseton Reservation
to represent some six hundred of
their tribe living at Fort Peck before
an Indian Inspector now at Sisseton
making roll of the Sisseton and
Wahpeton Indians whose annuities
were suspended after the Indian
troubles in Minnesota in 1862. The
last session of Congress appropriated
$500, 900 for the purpose; it having
been conclusively proven that the
Wahpeton and Sisseton tribe had no
connection with the troubles and had
never engaged in any hostile acts.
The Indians made Major Scobey,
who was their agent for twelve years,
friendly visit and consulted him
about other matters.
"One Red Horn" is an old man,
over 70, and was born on the shores
of Big Stone Lake. He pointed out
to Major Scobey places where he had
killed buffalo over fifty years ago and
places where his tribe had fought the
Chippewas, with whom they were oc-
casionally at war. He said that he
had many times camped at the scobey
farm and fshed and trapped around
the lake. He said that the old Indians
claim that the lake was made by buff
falo "wallowing" and that they called
it "Minne-Tetonka" or "Buffalo
Water" They also called the old
town of Morris by the euphonious
name of changing Chicken"

Berlin, Sept. 4.-The action Of Ger.

TO the signatories of the Algeciras act
that the time has arrived to recognize
Mulai Hafid as sultan of Morocco.

Mulai Hafid and his lieutenant cover.
Rors have failed to recognize the
rights of persons under German pro-
lection. Consequently, the German
consul at Tangier, DR.. Vassel, has
gone to Fee to straighten out these
difficulties. France some time ago
sent skillful and experienced agent
TO the court of Mulai Hafld, where he
has since remained looking out after
French interests. This envoy is an
Algerian in the French consular
service e IS ss+e74g
It appears here that the French
government desires to make certain
private arrangements with Mulai
Hafid before coming out in support of
the legitimacy of his claim to the
sultanate.
: Another probable cause of the dis.
satisfaction in Paris is that certain
French interests made loans to Abdul
war and now they would like to per
suade or compel Mu1ai Hafid to take
over responsibility for these transac'
ions From the German point OF view
this is unjust.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 4.-The out
come of the Republican primary of
Tuesday for the Republican nomina-
tion for governor is in doubt. The
late returns received have added so
materially to the vote of Governor
Fred M. Warner that it Is not certain
but that he will overcome entirely
the earlier lead of Auditor General J.
B. Bradley. AS a result of increases
of 500 votes in Sanilac county, 400
in Emmet county and several hundred
in scattering districts the Journal an
nounced that Governor Warner is 9O4
votes in the lead. At the same hour
the News had reduced it's earlier COM
pilation of lead of $40 votes for Brad
ley to less than 500. Already there is
much talk of recounts in certain dis
tricts and it seems certain that the
official canvass will be necessary to
determine the outcome of the primary.

Arkansas railroads for a temporary
Injunction restraining the state of Ar
kansas from further enforcing the
present railroad rate laws until their
validity can be tested by law.

hence confiscatory and unlawful" said
the Judge in handing down his de-

In granting the application the
court attached a condition that If it

ought not to have been issued the
railroads shall refund to all passen-

SANDY SPRING.

to James Stone Reese, of Baltimore
and winds up the article with the fol-
lowing:
In his younger days he spent 10 to
II years at Sandy Spring, Md, about
II miles from Laurel. To get to this
place you have to leave the railroad
and strike out across the country. 1t
is a lonesome sort of spot, with an
aristocracy and life all it's own.
1t has no newspaper, because news
papers are quite unnecessary. If Mrs.
Smith gives card party at night, all
the residents, they say, simply sit in
their front windows in the dewy morn
ing and talk it over with neighborly
fullness without having the fuss of
reading about it in cold print There
is no use for newspaper in a town
like that.
There is where Mr.. Reese goes
when tired out with the strain of life
in great city. He has many friends
there, who measure him only by what
he has done in their circle, so he is
never overburdened by praise. Lead
ing the simple life he RECEIVERS his lost

Postal Savings Bank.

The energy and enthusiasm Post
master General Meyer is putting into
the reforms he has proposed for the
Postal Department give promise that
results will follow his agitation for
postal savings bank. Mr.. Meyer is
an earnest believer in the postal saw
ings bank as one of the surest and
safest ways to stop the boarding of
money, and 1e gives interesting data
in support of his conclusions. He
argues that many thousands of people
who are distrustful of banks would
not hesitate to deposit their savings
with the Government. This is espe-
cially true of immigrants who pour
in by the hundreds OF thousands an
nually, who accumulate millions upon
millions of dollars and who hoard it
until they send it abroad. These peo-
pie are ignorant OF our institutions,
and many of them cannot be per-
suaded to intrust their money to ordi-
nary financial repositories. But they
are accustomed to postal savings
banks at home, and would fall natu-
rally into the habit of deposIting funds
in them in this country.
To justify his theory, the Post
master General cites some remark
able facts. Speaking of the 100000
immigrants who have come to the
United States in the past ten years
and of the immense sums they have
transmitted home, MIR. Meyer shows
that for the year, ended June 80 the
Postal Department alone transferred
to European countries in the shape
of money orders s72,0OO,O0O. He con-
tinues:
Of that sum, $1S,9S6,519.61 went to
Italy. For that country we issued
453,795 money orders, averaging $41.29
each. The other countries which par
| ticipated in the food of American
money were Austria-Hungary. $16,-
363,991; Great Britain, $11, ,5S2,O2S and
Russia, S7,250,353. 1 have caused it
to be traced and find that a great per-
centage CT it goes not to the purchase
of life's necessities, but to be placed
in the postal savings banks of those
countries. The thrifty men and wo-
men of Europe come here and get our
money and send it across the sea for
safe-keeping.
| When the fact is borne in mind that
these millions sent abroad are but a
compa ratively small part of the total
savings of immigrants, it seems very
certain that any plan which can in
duce them to trust their money to an
institution that will put it into cir
culation would be most helpful in pre-
venting financial stringency.
