GREATEST EVER HELD TAFT GETS ALL IN

WASHINGTON, July li. - Judge Taft seems destined to earn the title of the "Great Harmonizer. He is salving the wounds inflicted at Chicago as rapidly as he can get at them. Not a wound has been salted. And all the while he has been easing the smarts of his late opponents. Taft seems to be having his own way about things. In stead of securing harmony by making concessions to the other fellows, he is bringing the other fellows around to his way of thinking.
 The general willingness to accept Hitchcock as campaign manager IS an altogether notable triumph for Taft. He first had to overcome opposition to Hitchcock within the ranks of his own following, and then had to placate the late opposition which had suffered from Hitchcock's methods at Chicago. or course Judge Taft didn't put it in ex- actly these words, but this is the argu. ment that prevailed: It's true Hitch cock handled you rather roughly at the convention, but that's all ancient his tory now. You saw how effective were his methods' Why not let him employ them against the democrats'
 Taere was logic in the reasoning, and the late opposition saw the point. In anticipating what Hitchcock would do to the cohorts of Bryan those who SO recently had felt the "steam roller weight forgot their own injuries, and everybody was happy.
 No less remarkable than the Hitch cock incident is the manner in which the anti-Taft republicans of Ohio are falling into line. Senator Foraker was one of the first to send congratulations and promises of support, and if one may judge by the interview given out here the other day by Gen. Dick, the junior senator come close to being en thusiat.ic over the ticket. There isn I any doubt. he declared, that Taft will carry Ohio, and he can see no serious obstacle in the way of the Cincinnati mans triumpnant march to the White House.
 The camps of the "allies' and tho separate camp of LaFolette have broken up, and the Taft camp is th' only camp there is. If there are an, individual sore spots anywhere Tar will find and minister to them. Abou the only serious grouch now visible Il the one the colored brother is nursing IL is not now apparent just how Tar will handle the disaffected negroes, bu
 there is ell.grounded suspicion tha part of his time at Hot Springs Is de voted to concocting a healing lotion O

BURIED HIS MONEY.
An Arkansas Mans Decayed Green
backs Made Good.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Of $4,000 in
decayed greenbacks sent to the treas
ury department for redemption by o.
D. Earl, of Morrillton, Ark, all but
$25 have been identified and check
for $9,975 was mailed to Mr.. Earl
Friday.
Fearing the banks were unsafe, Mr..
Earl buried his savings in an old pail
in 1904. Recently he dug up his treas
ure only to find that the bills were
so decayed that he could not discern
their numbers. All that was left of
the roll was bunch of paper resem-
bling a package of dried leaves, with
here and there the torn end of a note
displaying a figure.
Mrs. A. L. Brown, the burnt money
expert of the redemption division, was
given custody of the unrecognizable
mass, when Mr.. Earl forwarded what
was left of his fortune to the treas
ury department. After much tedious
work she has succeeded in identifying
most of the money.

RIOTERS IN JAIL.
The Rowdy Element Finally Has Been
Subdued in Springfield.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 23.-Undis-
turbed by the clank of accoutrements
or the challenges of sentries in the
night, Springfield awoke Saturday
morning from dreams of peace. There
was absolute quiet during the early
hours, not single alarm being turned
in to the sheriff after midnight. The
few calls for troops earlier in the
night was due to happenings which
ordinarily would not attract attention
as indications of possible riot.
The citizens, in fact, realize that
the civil law is working expeditiously
and smoothly TO bring the persons re-
sponsible for the recent disturbances
to justice With 80 indictments al
ready returned by the grand jury and
all except one of the eight persons
formally charged with murder riot,
destruction of property or malicious
mischief in custody, there is feeling
abroad that retribution is about to
oyertake the rowdy elements of the
community. For time there was a
fear that the states attorney, despite
his earnest efforts, would fail in prov
ing criminal charges against the riot
erS.

KEEP NATIONAL CHARTERS.
Not Many Oklahoma Banks Are
Changing.

Washington, Aug. 23.-T. P. Kane
deputy comptroller Of the currency
stated Friday that the published state
ment that large number of national
banks in Oklahoma had notified the
comptroller of the currency of their
intention to surrender their national
charters and enter the state banking
system, because Of tile opinion rem
dered by the attorney general that
they cannot lawfully avail themselves
of the state guaranty laws was not
in accord with the facts.
"There are about 80 national banks
in the state of Oklahoma" said Mr..
Kane, "only 81 of which entered into
the guaranty scheme. On August 8,
last, these 81 banks were notified that
they must withdraw from the agree
ment. So far replies have been re-
ceived from SO of them. Twenty-seven
have informed the comptroller that
they have notified the state banking
board of their desire TO withdraw
from the guaranty agreement, and
seven have indicated their intention
to surrender their national charters
and reorganize as state banks, and
two only have thus far actually gone
into voluntary liquidation for that pur-
pose.
Replies have been received from
1874 of the 253 banks that have not
entered into the agreement. A ma
jority of them state that they had no
intention of doing so, as they were
not in sympathy with the movement,
One national bank chartered stated
that its purpose in converting from
state bank to the national system was
10 escape the requirements of the
guaranty law"

treasury officers, and every opportun-
ity will be given them TO be heard on
that subject.

EXPANSION OF TRADE
STEADY IMPROVEMENT NOTED
BY DUNN g. CO. IN THEIR
WEEKLY REVIEW.
BIG DEMAND FOR GOODS IN MANY LINES
Iron and Steel Manufactures Steadily
Adding to Output-Some Conces
sons Made in Price of Pig Iron
Cotton Market Very Quiet-Business
Best in West-Export Trade Dull.

New York, Aug. Or. G. Dunn &c
Co.'S weekly review of trade says
TRADE and industrial activity con-
tinue to expand Improvement being
of a conservative nature that prom
ises permanency. There is little dis
position TO anticipate the future, but
current distribution is larger and mer-
camille collections are more prompt.
There is some complaint among
Wholesale dry goods jobbers that the
big auction sales detracted from reg
ular business, but the general stu
alton was greatly improved by the
distribution of those accumulations,
and many retailers have remained to
supplement their purchases. In manu-
featuring lines the iron and steel in
dustry is steadily adding to output
and shoe shops are receiving sub
stantial contracts, although producers
are handicapped by the persistent
strength of hides and leather.
A few special sales of pig iron have
been made at concessions from for
mer quotations, some merchant fur
naces seeking all the business offered,
but the general level of prices is not
materially altered and there is a dis
tinct improvement in demand. Most
recorded transactions are for this
years delivery, each week bringing Il
little larger consumption at steel mills
and some reduction of stocks in fur
mace yards.
Extremely quiet conditions prevail
in the primary markets for cotton
goods. Export trade is also dull in
quiries from India and Red sea points
being at much lower prices than are
quoted. The decline in silver has
made a resumption of demand from
China still more remote. AS goods on
hand were made from cotton pur-
chased above the present price there
is no encouragement for producers to
make sales. On some lines of mems
wear woolens initial purchases have
been completed and many wholesale
clothiers have returned home. Some
divisions have sold well, but on the
whole results are not satisfactory.
Footwear factories in New England
report a steadily improving demand
from western wholesalers, although
contracts are chiefly for prompt de-
livery and buyers are disposed to oper-
ate conservatively. Low stocks in the
hands of jobbers are indicated by
urgent requests for quick shipment
Leather is quiet, as rule, but GER
tain varieties are strong and active
heavy weight sole being scarce and
sold well ahead. Business is most
active at the west. Hides are again
very firm, large sales of western
packers, hides being made at good
prices.

Springfield, H., Aug. 23.-The first
day of the nominal resumption OF civic
rule in Springfield was free from dis
orders up to late hour Friday night.
The members of the Seventh infantry
were scattered about the city in small
detachments but they were under or
ders to act only in case their aid was
solicited by the sheriff or his deputies.
Twice the slumbers of the soldiers
were disturbed, once when small fire
broke out in a shed and again when an
irate father fired at an Objectionable
sutton for his daughters hand. Small
crowds gathered in each instance but
were quickly dispelled and at mid
night the streets were practically de-
serted.
