lecture as to what we would do or

the things that now exist, for in the
conduct of business (and the business
of the city consists in applying to city

Never Undressed in Fourteen Years

Mrs. Sylvester Eaves, aged eighty two, is dead here, after living fifty years in this section. Fourteen years ago her husband left home somewhat after the fashion of Rip Van Wrinkle in the second act of the play, some trouble having occurred with sister of the wife, who lived with the couple, Since that time, fourteen years ago Mrs. Eaves, through some superstitious notion, had never undressed and never occupied bed. She got what sleep she took by lying on sofa or lounge Even in her last sickness, she could not be persuaded tc go to bed, but died in her chosen resting place.-ChicagC Inter Ocean.

Mining Machinery
 News Item

Two money saving devices of interest to mining men and comparatively new to this district are as follows:
 The Davis Calyx Diamondless !" Core Drill, which uses chilled shot cost. ing under l0c per lb., in stead of dia- monds. Will drill any ground. It does as much work in average ground and much more in soft ground than dia- mond drill, and its first cost is less. It is made in several sizes, to run by hand, horse, gasoline, or steam power. De scribed in catalog G-9l.
 A still more important new thing is the Temple-Ingersol Electric-Air Drill, run by compressed air, but still using electric power transmission; run by gas oline or steam power; uses 1-3 the pow CT required for an air drill of equal capacity; no piping; no foundations. The Old Dominion uses one. Catalog GEO tells of it.

REVISION NOW
Commission Has Undertaken
Most Comprehensive Inquiry
in History of Country

Washington, Nov. 24.-General re-
vision uf the American financial sys-
tenn cannot be hoped for at the coming
session Of congress, but the members
of the national monetary commission
expect there will be law passed cor
rective of banking. These probabili-
ties were evident today when the COM
mission held its first meeting pre-
liminary to the making of its report.
That the monetary commission has
inquiry in the history of the country
was apparent. The conferences
abroad we're held in London, Paris and
the commission were received by the
rency and economic topics. The COM
questions and submit these to the for
eign authorities for replies.
A subcommittee of the commission
met after the regular meeting today
and began work on the questions. The
full commission expects to meet daily
for about week but it is not intended
that the testimony taken abroad shall
be presented to congress before the
first session OF the siXty-f1rst con-
gress. The investigation of foreign
financial systems will be extended to
Scotland and Canada before the re-
port is made.
One of the most important matters
to be considered in connection with q
bill amending the laws relating to ac-
tual banking will be the question of
bank examination. 1t has been point
ed out lately that in the event of in
fections OF banking laws the comp
troller of the currency has practically
no recourse other than closing the in
stitutions. The effect of such step
is to injure many innocent persons.
Members of the commission hope to
work out some less heroic treatment
in order that the comptroller of the
currency shall have the authority to
administer punishment to fit the
crimes committed.

DYE IN THE FONT
An Evangelist at Cheney, Kas, Came
Near ColOring q Convert.

Wichita, Kas., Nov. 23.-A revival
service at Cheney, Kas., twenty miles
west of this city, was interrupted hast
night while the baptistry in the First
Christian church was emptied and
scrubbed to cleanse it Of water that
had been colored with diamond dyes.
Several packages of scarlet dye had
been poured into the 200-gallon tank.
The wrappers from which the red
dye was taken were found later in
the rear of the church.
A candidate had presented himself
for immersion and the evangelist had
prepared to perform the ceremony.
When he raised the lid of the baptis-
ry he discovered that the tank was
filled with what hooked like red Ink.
The ceremony was halted while the
tank was emptied, cleansed and re-
filled.
Pastor Myers believes the water in
the pool was dyed in an effort to
break up the evangelistic meetings.
They have been in progress nineteen
days and seventy-one conversions
have been made.
There are a Methodist and a Re-
formed church in the town. Jealousy
among the three denominations 10
acute. Evangelist Edward Cutter OF
Tecumseh, Neb., is in charge of the
meetings and he has preached some
strong sectarian sermons. The meet
ings have frequently been interruntedl
by small disturbances, which consist
ed of noise and talking. The scarlet
water in the baptistry last night was
the first outward attempt against the
meetings.

ANTI JAP RIOTS
Chinese Shops Dealing in Jap Wares
We're Destroyed.

Vicotria, B. c., Nov. 24.-The steam
er Teucer arrived last night from the
orient and reports that while at Hong
Kong there were six anti-Japanees
riots going on and many shops and go
downs were looted by an organized
mob of rioters as the result of the
displeasure of the Chinese because of
the efforts of the government to put
down the boycott against the Japanese
on the part of the Chinese of the
colony. The armed police were called
out to disperse the mobs and twelve
Chinese were arrested. The opening
of the rioting was at two go-downs of
Chinese firms on Kao Shing street. The
firms dealt extensively in Japanese
goods, particularly dried fish. Two
hundred rioters broke open the doors
and threw goods to the value Of $4,000
into the street, where they were de-
stroyed or carried away. At o'clock
on the night of November 1, the scene
grew in violence and seemed we'll or
ganized. The Chinese go-downs and
shops containing Japanese goods had
been marked out and plan of CAM
paign seemed to be followed. The
police dispersed the mobs but they re-
gathered. smashing the doors open
and leaving the premises shell.

John D. Rockefeller Now on the Stand,
the Cross Examination Of Rockefel.
Ter Having Ended Today After
Many Damaging Admissions.

New York, Nov. 24.-John D. Rocke-
feller testified in the government suit
against the Standard OIL company to-
day that at the time Of the organiza-
ton of the Standard Oil company OF
New Jersey in 1889, he owned 256,S54
shares of it's stock out Of total stock
issued of 983,383 shares. When asked
If he entered into contract with
Schofeld, Schurmer and Teagle lin
iting the latter's business Of refining
oil In consideration 'of certain pay
ments by the Standard OIL company,
Mr.. Rockefeller said he didn't remem-
Der. He remembered nothing about q
suit brought against Schofield, Schur-
mer and Teagle by the Standard to
prevent the firm from refining over
$4,000 barrels Of crude oil annually
and said that as president OF the
Standard 1t was proper for him to
sign such an affidavit but he did not
remember that Schofield and company
answered that the Standard were try
ing to build up monopoly In the re-
flning business. He was asked about
the large sums of money loaned by
the Standard in Wall street, and said
that the Standard necessarily kept a
large amount which it loaned but 1t
never had outstanding sums larger
than thirty-two million dollars.
Just before his examination closed,
Rockefeller admitted he had purchas-
ed bonds of the principal railroad
companies in the last ten years but
said It would be impossible to name
them. Rockefeller was followed by
John d. Archbold on the stand.
Replying to questions about the ac-
QUESTION of jpipa lines of the Standard
OH company, Mr. Rockefeller said:
"I did not construct the first pipe
lines for transportation; of oil. Quite
q number of Tines were constFutted
before we began to build and buy. We
did not begin to buy these lines until
1873 or 1874"

TROUBLE AT PANAMA
Gatun Dam Gazing in and Land Slid.
ing Mt Culebra.


Colon, Nov. 24.-Owing to exception
ally hevay rainfalls of the last three
weeks the earth on the crest of the
Gatum dam has settled in certain
places. The Gatun dam, which is
designed to hold in check the waters
of the Chagres river. was in the be-
ginning fifty feet wide. 1t has now been
extended to a length of 300 feet. In
view of these existing conditions the
settlement of the dam was expected.
The reason is the heavy weight of the
embankment. There is nothing to do
to prevent this falling in and it will
have to continue. There have been
other settlements in the vicinity of
the dam at Gatun and the rains have
resulted, furthermore, in several land
slides ut Culebra cut. The railroad
track is inundated on both sides for
a distance of several miles, but the
transit of trains has not been i'm
peded.
