Vanderbilt Was Seventy Before He Made
His Fortune.

The Vanderbilt fortune, once
the greatest fcancial power in
the United States, probably a.
mounts, at the present moment,
to not far from $500, 000, 900. OF
this, William Nissan Vanderbilt,
who controls the majority of the
family properties, holds in the
neighborhood Of 500, 900, 900,
while twelve or fifteen descend
ants of the Commodore share
among themselves the remaining
5000, 000, 900.
Perhaps the most remarkable
fact in the whole remarkable ca
reer of Commodore Cornelius
Vanderbilt is that he did really
important work and heaped up
his enormous fortune after he
was seventy years old. He was
born in 1894, and almost all his
energies, until the outbreak of
the Civil War, had been absorbed
in the management of his num-
erous steamboat and steamship
lines.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, when
running his steamboats, up and
down the Hudson river, had felt
keenly the competition of the
railroad along it's eastern shore,
Later developments led him
clearly to perceive, what most of
his contemporaries saw only
family, chat transportation in
this country would follow the
line, not of the canal and the
river, but Of the steel rail. AS
soon as he had caught this
glimpse of the future, Wander
bilt characteristically acted upon
it. Fifty years before, foresee-
ing the possibilities of steam
travel by water, he had sold his
whole sailing fleet and purchased
steamboats,; acting just as
promptly now, he sold all his
water craft and began purchas.

TO PACK EGGS FOR WINTER.

Egg Ire expensive in winter and
though we pay high prices for
"freSh eggs" they are usually "fresh"
from cold storage. Here is a method
of packing your own:
Get fresh eggs just laid, along
about the last of September. Take
a four-gallon earthenware jar; put
a two-inch layer of salt in the bot
tom then stand each egg with small
end down in the salt until the bot
tom is filled. Then keep on filling
till jar is full. Do not add any
more salt, for it will harden and the
eggs will break in getting them out.
The salt that is used is only for the
foundation.

Governor Folk in Cooper.


Governor Joseph W. Folk after
a busy day, addressed a large
crowd at the Opera House We'd
nesday night ats O'Clock. The
audience was made up largely of
ladies'.
The Governor was introduced
by Hon. Marshall Rust, the
Democratic candidate for the
legislature.
The Governors speech was
very conservative one that no
Republican could find fault with
and related principally to his
own achievements during his
term as circuit attorney and his
administration as Governor, Of
his great success in the refor-
nation of the world, and how
things should have started off in
the Garden of Eden. He told Of
how he had run things by the
enforcement of race track and
gambling law, the Sunday clos
ing law, the passage of a two
cent fare and maximum freight
law, pure food law,
in fact most all the good
laws of the State of Missouri,
and to listen at him one would
wonder how we have ever got
ten along without him so long
and we are not surprised that
people in other parts of the
world think Missouri a robber
State, inhabited by boodlers,
grafters and highwaymen.
He also took occasion to lam
bast his worthy opponent, Sen
ator Stone, whom he criticised
for the introduction of bill for
the relief of an eastern bond
company who had made a bond
for U. S. Sub-Treasurer Atkins
who had defaulted in the sum Of
$61,500. He said that the reason
Senator Warner didn't introduce
the bill himself was for the rea
son that he was ashamed to dc
it, but that Stone was no
ashamed to do anything.
He had very little to say
about Republicans or Republi
can ticket. He denied that hC
and Hadley were in a combina
ton and said he was opposed t,
trusts and combinations. Hi,
speech was worded to please al
and offended none, and probabl,
made him no friends or foes. l

efforts, was well memorized ant

Count Sergius Witte is not only
no longer at the helm Of the Russian
government, but stands almost alone
even in the council Of the empire.
Nevertheless a strong feeling pre-

LIKES THE SIMPLE LIFE.

The duchess of Marlborough is
said to have inherited many of her
good qualities from her mother, who
is really fonder Of the simple life
than of the round of social duties
with which she has always been con-
nected. She has a fine sense of
humor, but is never satirical, and
consequently her friends are general
ly good friends.

Great Victory in Sight.
LAST letter from headquarters.l

The victory is virtually won
and Democrats may confidently
rely on a majority of $4,000 for
Bryan and Cowherd in Missouri.
This assertion is based upon re-
liable information, as well as up
on Democratic enthusiasm and
Republican apathy. 1t is also
based upon the expectation that
every Democrat in Missouri will
do his full duty by going to the
polls.
The Republicans hope to carry
st. Louis by mean of a heavy
padded registration in the down
town negro wards. The Demo
cratic committees will do their
utmost to thwart their effort to
steal the city election, but only
the returns will tell the story.
Charles Nagel, well known as
a leading attorney for the Stan
dard Oil company, has been
stumping the state for Hadley
and Taft and the people of the
State may rest assured that
Standard Oil money will be put
into Republican campaign. That
great monopoly knows who are
it's friends and have no fears Of
the spectacular, self-advertising,
grand-stand plays of Hadley, the
boaster.
Dick Kerens, the multi million
aire owner of railroads, coal
mines and organizer of trusts
and whose only claim to public at
tention is the fact that he became
immensely rich at the expense of
the people, is making an effort
to secure the election of the Re
publican legislature, that he may
go the senate; and, to this end,
he has contributed to the Repub-
lican State Committee fifteen
thousand dollars 20 aid in carry
ing the State for Hadley and to
secure a Republican legislature.
This money is to be used for the
purpose, if possible, of buying
up the floating vote in the cities
and close counties, that bis pur-
pose may be accomplished.
Missouri has been, for many
years past, represented by men
who were sent to the Senate be.
cause of their ability and not on
account of their wealth. They
have been men Of modest means
and their honesty and integrity
have never been questioned, OuI
grand old Democratic state will
never descend to the level Of
Nevada and Rhode Island anC
West Virginia, where only multi
millionaires can get into the
United States Senate. Let The
Democratic hosts see to it, OF
Tuesday next, that the desires o.
Kerens, the moneyed mainstay o
Missouri Republicans, m Sc

No such opportunity has beer
presented to the Democracy 0
Missouri since 1896 as we havI
in this campaign. We can plac,
this great State in the forefron
of the grand galaxy of Demo
cratic hosts. We can roll up

question of her rock-ribbed Dem

.K|CKAPOOS IN CAMP AT DOUGLAS
ENTIRE TRIBE WILL BE ASSEM- BLEED FOR FINAL ADJUSTMENT BY COMPLIMENTARY OF THEIR DIFFICULTIES.

DOUGLAS, May 16.-Tomorrow, ac- cording to plans announced, the un- usual spectacle of some 200-odd Indians encamped in the enclosure of Sports man $ park will be presented the peo- pie of Douglas This number will be about equally divided between Indians who will be brought here from Okla homa and Indians who will come up from their camp in Mexico.
 The occasion is the council which will be held under the direction of Major Mclaughlin, an Indian inspector, at which will be decided the manner of acceptance of the $2l5,000 recently al lowed the tribe by congress and the dis position to be made of the money.
 This council will not only attract to Douglas special Indian agents, the rep resentatives of the Bentley trustee ship and the clements inimical to Bent ley's influence with the tribe,, but will also bring Judge Fletcher NJ. Doan and Clerk Wilcox of the district court, be- fore whom the proceedings will be at- tested.
 This will be one of the final chapters, if not, indeed, the finis, of the affairs of the Kicking Kickapoos so far as con-
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-05-17

cerns the United States interest in them. The money recently allowed them is in final settlement of their claims on the American government and here after they will paddle their own canoe individually and as a tribe.
 Major Mclaughlin, who, as an- nounced few days since, was ordered here to supcrsede Mark Goode in con ducting the affairs of the government in it's relations with the Kickapoos, will be in charge of the council and with him will be Colonel Scott, a special In dian agent, and Frank Thackery, who, according to ono report received here, was superseded as superintendent of the Shawnee Indian school at Shawnee, Okla. The Oklahoma members of the tribe will be brought here to be pres ent at the council, as they have the same right to participate in the pro. ceedings as have the Kickapoos in Mex leo They will come in special cars with all expenses paid by the American gov ernment.
 Simultaneously, as the announcement was made by Mir. Goode, the Indians who are now encamped in Mexico will be brought here for the council. There are something like 100 of them, while the Oklahoma contingent will perhaps exceed that number It is not known today whether the indians will arrive Saturday or Sunday, but they are ex- pected on one of these days.
 According to the understanding of some of those who are interested in the council it was the original intention to hold the tribal meeting at Slaughter s ranch on Saturday. Judge Doan and Clerk Wilcox were coming here on that day with the idea of driving out to the ranch and there being present at the meeting. The inference is, however, that it has been finally determined to hold the council here in Douglas, and for that purpose the park will furnish an ideal place.
 The government has no official inter- est in what the Kickapoos do with the money after they have received it. The supposition is that a large portion of it will be used in the purchase of reser- vation somewhere in Mexico, but how the money will be handled or who will handle it is not now just clear. Bent lev has been the trustees of the Kick apoos for a number of years and he has gained the esteem of the senatorial com mittee on Indian affairs either on his merits or by hoodwinking the nation al lawmakers to the limit. In either event he has held the ascendancy in the esteem of the senators, and, among other evidences of this fact, bears a joint personal letter of endorsement from Senators Teller and La Toilette to Judge Doan, in whose jurisdiction the council will be held.
 As one method of handling the Kick apoo affairs in the future, after they have received the government payment, it is said the scheme of placing their interests in the hands of an American trust company is favored.

There is a sharp turn in the road on
the outskirts of Newcastle, and as the
tour officials expected troub1e with the
cars making the turn they placed a
flagman on the spot to warn drivers.
Just as the Garford car of the Cleve-
land Automobile Club. driven by H. s.
Van Tine. was about TO make the turn,
the f1agman stepped in the centre of
the road. In order to avoid hitting the
man Van Tine gave a wide swing to
his machine. The car skidded, went off
the oad and crashed into a telegraph
pole. In the collision with the pole the
car smashed its right rear wheel. Van
Tin lost two hours getting a new
wheel from the agents for his car In
Newcastle, but he made up an hour
and a half of this, and arrived at Hotel
Shenley. which is headquarters of the
tour In this city, half an hour late.
At a meeting of the officials last
night It was decided to disqualify the
car on the ground that 1t was re-
paired with a wheel that was not
carried on the car.
