The receivers of the Knickerbocker
Trust company, one of whom was Henry
C. Ide of the lily white burg of st. Johns
bury. didn't get the $4,000 apiece which
they charged for their five months work.
Justice Gaynor cut the bills down to s2O,-
900 each and in lieu of the difference is
sued corlling rebuke to those who at
tempt to loot banks in financial straits by
charging excessive receivers fees. 1t will
be tough for Judge Ide to worry along

he considers that his appointment is
likely to result in the official decapitation
of Son-in-law Bourke Cochran.

Launch owners and canoeists who use
the Connecticut river between the Hol
yoke dam and Turner'S Falls are planning
active measures this year TO prevent the
Connecticut Valley Lumber company from
blockading the stream with logs. In past
summers the canoe and yacht clubs have
been put out of business for a month OF
more on account OF the log drive, and al
though the officials of the lumber company
have repeatedly promised to stop obstruct-
ing the river, nothing has ever been done
by them. The boating interests claim
that the Connecticut has been declared a
navigable stream by the New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, and Connecticut courts,
and for that reason boats, launches, and
other craft have a right to pass to and
fro without being obstructed If this mat
ter is carried TO the courts for settlement
the outcome will be of particular inter
est to people in this section for the rea-
son that after this year there will be far
greater amount of boating on the Connec'
ticut than ever before and the log drive
which now passes rapidly will be delayed
by the setback from the dam.

WEEK in THE WORLD
Great Events and Movements Which
Are Making History.

The republican national committee has
been in session in Chicago throughout the
week settling the question Of the con-
tested delegations from the various south
ern states. As the Taft men have a clear
majority on the committee most of the
decisions have been clearly in favor OF
the Taft delegates, although in the case
of Louisiana the contested delegations
were split. All of these decisions are i'm
material, however, since Taft has a large
majority of delegates and will be nom
mated on the first ballot without ques-
ton. In fact, this is so certain that the
various vice presidential booms are at
tracing more interest in Chicago than
anything else. There are about dozen
candidates in the field and the fight seems
to be between the east and west. Taft S
managers claim that he is taking no ac
tive part in the matter.

SECOND FIRE STRIKES ATLANTA
Property Valued at 100000 Con-
sumed by Flames.

Atlanta, Ca, May 11.-One hun
dred and seventy-five horses, two of
them show prize winners, half q
block of buildings burned, with a
loss of 100000, threatened panic
in theatre nearby, and half dozen
persons injured-none seriously, how
a fire which to-
night started In the business portion
Of Atlanta, and for an hour threat
ened to make clearer sweep than
did the flames which last week de-
stroyed a million and quarter dol
lars worth of property. The block
In which the fire started was made up
chiefly Of one-story wooden and brick
structures. The flames started in,
the Piedmont stables on Marietta
street. Half block away the Or
pheum theatre was crowded from
floor to balcony with persons watch
ing vaudeville performance An
endeavor was made to empty the
theatre by announcing that owing to
some trouble with the negroes In the
gallery the performance would close,
but some one In the audience called
out that there was fire, and @ panic
came near being the result. Fortu-
nately coole heads stopped this be-
fore anything Of serious nature
occurred. Half dozen negroes were
bruised in the first crush, but no seri-
GUS injuries wore reported.

Loss OVER 81, ,ooo, 900
Two business Blocks Wiped Out.
Fire Started in Bakery.

Alianta, May "A million and a
quarter loss is conseryatiyely esti-
mated on the fire which started at
$3.50 o'clock this morning and swept
Two blocks of business property
Late to-day the police and fire de-
partment dynamited what was left
of the ragged walls. Tonight half
Atlanta, as a fire-fghting force, is
playing water into dozen ruined
structures.
The origin Of the fire Is a mystery.
1t was discovered in building oc-
cupied by the Schlessinger-Myer Bak-
Ing Company. From there it ran Is.
all directions until it struck the Ter
minal' Hotel, one of the largest in
the city, which was gutted.
Every one in the Terminal Hotel
and numerous smaller hotels in the
district were warned and there was
no loss of life
insurance men place the insurance
on the property destroyed at $780,
600. One of the heaviest losers is
S. M. 1nm n, Of Atlanta, who owned
the entire block bounded by Forsythe
and Mitchell and Nelosn streets, and
Madison avenue. His loss is four
hundred thousand, with insurance of
about 80 per cent.
The fire was discovered in the ele-
vator shaft of the Meyer
building, and is supposed to have
originated from crossed wires run
ming to the motor which operated the
elevator. BY the time the firemen
arrived the flames had broken
through the roof, of the building, and
owing to light water pressure is was
impossible to check their progress.
After cutting this building the fire
jumped across the street and made
short work of the Terminal Hotel,
Terminal Annex, Childs' Cafe and
Hotel, at which point the firemen
succeeded in checking tho onslaught
on the north side Of Mitchell street.
On the north side of the street,
however, the flames contiued to
sweep everything in their path until
Forsythe street was reached--the
buildings occupied by the Mcclure
Ten-Cent Company, branch bank Of
the Central Bank and Trust Corpora
tion, Paragon Suspender Company,
Moon Shoe Store, and Liquid Car
bonic Company.
strong west wind famed the
flames, scattering the burning en-
bers over the whole business section
of the city and threatening for time
even a greater loss.
Firemen had narrow escapes from
falling walls, but no injuries of a
serious nature were reported.
The guests in the hotels and board
ing houses in the burned section
saved most of their effects and many
trunks were piled high on the plaza
in front of the terminal station. Al,
mail and most of the equipment in
the branch post office were saved,
but the building was destroyed.

PINE KNOTS. MAcERATED
IN WHISKY.

The shavings of pine knot macer-
ated or soaked in Whisky is the rem
edy of the old mountaineer and back
Woodsman for rheumatism and pain in
the joints and limbs. From time i'm
memorial the medicinal properties Of
Pine have been valued highly. When
ever possible, physicians recommend
that consumptive patients camp out in
the Pine forests, where, asleep or
awake, they must constantly inhale the
pine-laden atmosphere, bathing the
lungs with the healing, health giving
and invigorating air.
Unfortunately, there are but few
whose circumstances will permit them
to leave home and work to live in the
open Those who must stay at home
will find in the genuine Virgin Oil OF
Pine compound pure tina: therapeutic
virtue for which the Pines, are famous
1t is a combination Of the active prin-
ciples of the Pine and SantlewOod,
carefully compounded to retain the
well-known healing properties Of these
trees.
A half-ounce of Virgin OIL of Pine
compound pure mixed with two ounces
of Glycerine and a half pint of good
Whisky will break up a Geld in twenty
four hours, and cure any cough that
is durable. Take a teaspoonful every
four hours. It is better to purchase
the ingredients separately and prepare
the mixture at home. Be sure to use
only the genuine Virgin Oil of Pine
compound pure, prepared by the Leach
