Lewiston End Ward

LEWISTON, Jan. 16.-Perhaps all
of the readers OF The Republican do
not know that there Is q place In
Cache county known as Lewiston Sec.
ond ward. Lewiston having so many
people and covering 30 much space, 1t
was thought best by the stake presi-
dency to divide II and make another
ward. Some time last spring Herman
Danielsen was made bishop Of the
Second ward, with James Anderson
and Henry c. Kent as councillors.
These men are good, intelligent and
worthy men and have the love and
support Of their flock. Bishop Daniel
sen Is building fine new house In his
ward, and expects to move into II next
month. Jesse Hancey and brothers,
Of Hyde Park, are the builders.
The ward, geographically speaking,
is about four miles square, 1t Is fully
organized with all the auxiliary or
ganizations and with the following
named persons presiding over each or
ganization: Sunday school, James
Hodges supt., William Wheeler and
Ole Olson assistants; Y. NJ. l. A., John
W. Bowman president, James v.
Hodges and Brigham Glover council.
ors; Y. L. l. A., Mary e. Kent presi.
dent, Hannah Hodges and Tyra Spack.
man councillors; Relief society, Han.
nah Olsen president, Clara Danielsen
and Maria Andersen councillors; Pr.
mary association, Fanny Bowman
president, Susan Andersen and Mary
E. Kent assistants. All Of these or.
CARNATIONS are 10 good working order
and for q scattered district they at.
tend their meetings we'll.
There are forty-five families In the
ward and they are a sociaole, hospit.
able lot. Most of the heads Of families
are large land owners. and grain, sugar
beets, hay, milk and hogs are the chief
products. There are some houses,
barns, etc, that would do credit to q
city. There is district school with
a good enrolment, with Lloyd Price,
OF Paradise, principal and Miss Sabina
Kent assistant.
That contagious disease, the mar.
rage fever, fastened itself upon four
OF our young people recently, and as
marriage was the only cure they jour
neyed to Logan. Miss Lucia Pope
became Mrs. Carl Glover, ana Miss
Alice Blair Is now Mrs. Walter Wheel.
er. Each couple invited their friends
to dance at their expense, and they
turned out en- masse and all had a fine
time.
All things considered, Lew iston Sec.
ond ward Is . growing place and have
happy, prosperous people.

WEST BRIGHT TO HITCHCOCK.
He Isn't Worrying About Not Carrying
 1t for Taft.

New York. Sept 2s.--Frank II. Hitch cock. chairman of the republican na- tional committee. reiterated today his belief that the eastern states were safe for Taft, and that in the west the situation, so far as it related to the recent allegations of strong Bryan sem timent, was hrtehtening up with every report received since his return on Fri day from Chicago. He said he did not consider newspaper tables as a cri- terion and, although he had read sev- eral tables, he was not prepared to pr the stamp of his approval on any of them.
 The chairman had previously exam ined the tables shown to him one of these had not included Montana and Nevada in the doubtful column. but had placed those states in the republl- can column The chairman said that he would rather place these two states in the doubtful column than any other two states. He said that in Montana the vote would doubtless be close. and in his table of figures, given out on Saturday. Montana was claimed for Taft by a plurality varying from 2.5oo to 5000.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Excitement of Last Week Replaced by
 Dull. Sluggish Movement.

New York, Sept 2s.---Last weeks speculative excitement was no longer traceable in the dull and sluggish movement of to-day's stock market. The decision of the forces controlling the market to give 1t period of rest was inferred from the support which checked the opening decline. This decline was in pursuance of the movc- ment in progress at the close of last week and which had the effect of bringing in some selling orders from the country at large over Sunday. With the check to the fall the mar ket fell into a condition bordering on easily towards the last. There were movements in individual stocks but the general list offered little of inter est or importance. The same could be said of the news of the day. The further exchanges between the leading controversialists in the political cam paign, in their large attention to af- fairs of great corporations, were re- garded as containing threat of de- velopments calculated to prejudice the interests of those corporations 9th erwise the political issue rather re- ceded In the background. Some anal ogy was drawn from the effect on the London stock market of the defeat of the liberal government candidate for the British parliament in the New castle district. The London financial community, like that of New York, reasons that radical and aggressive legislation has the effect of causing timidity amongst investors and specu- lators Prices of English securities, therefore, advanced on the defeat of the government candidate Rumors of deals affecting Rock Island were heard of, but without any authentic details The uncertain fluctuations in the Rock Island securities reflected a degree of speculative doubt over the truth of various rumors. The Hill and Hartman stocks and St. Paul and Reading maintained their prominent place in the dealings and kept alive the conviction that the leadership of

the market remained in the same hands that have conducted the princi- pal operations throughout the sum mer, Copper warrants in London de- clined and copper securities there and here were heavy in agreement. The breaking of the long drouth was given credit for some of the strength shown by the cotton carriers, The local money market was little changed but some Increase cf activity was reported from western and southern money centers.

WALL STREET NOTES Extraordinary Dullness of Mar ket Most Discussed Topic
 in Street. DECREASE IN IDLE CARS Roosevelt Letter Pleascs Change Lloyd Betting 4 to i on Taft's
 Election.

The dulness of stocks during the imorning was the most discussed topic Eof the Street. The first hours sales were lighter. 1t was pointed out, than s4n any similar interval since septem- -ber 1, the Friday before Labor day; they footed up only 163,000 shares; In .the second hour the total fell to 77,00o and in the third to 10000. Then bus iness grew slightly larger. but the full days sales were the lghtest of any in more than month, August 9s fur nishing the latest parallel. The tra- ditional Wall Street view is that dull ness on'a rebound means that the out side public will not buy on the rise; thence, that prominent interests are mot likely to waste their energies put ting stocks any higher. Dulness on a decline, on the other hand. means a cessation of liquidation, and usually marks the imminence of favorable turn in the market. The rise which etarted prior to the Fourth of July holiday and which carried into the 'eecond week of August was of this character.

This is the week In which, year ago, signs of coming panic became dis hinct. Call money had not been above t6 1-2 per cent. in September, and had ibeen as low as per cent. in the sec sond half of the mouth. There was still ia surplus reserve--the deficit did not lcone until the panic week of October t26-but on october 1, call loan rates went to 10 per cent. and time money Ito 1-2 They were quoted respec- lively at 125 and 1s per cent. within three weeks.

tO advance the St0ck there.
 The reference in President Roose- vclt's letter to Bryan to the p,ir- chase of the Tennessee Coal by the United States Steel corporation during lgs, sutumns panic, revived Wall Street controversy over that event. The Stock Exchange has always been in lclined to regard that purchase as one ce the 'pickings" of the panic. It is true that the purchase greatly relieved a banking institution and probably ea, ed a large Wall Street house from very serious trouble, but 1t was not wholly an altruistc act, and the terms ,of purchase caused some bitter com n1ent at the time--perhaps unwar- iranted--that people who were Saving the situationF were exacting their price for doing so. The Washington !end of the Tennessee Coal episode of that day elicited from some eminent bankers the comment that the chair man of the Steel Trust was "the best 'rclltician in Wall Street."
 Much stress was laid on the 50000 decrease in idle railway cars during lthe fortnight ending September IS, as lreported Saturday; this comparing with s0,90O decrease in the preced ltng fortnight and with one of 2S,70O the two weeks before that, It IS not wholly clear just how much this latest showing means. The autumn season especially when, as at present crops are moving in abnormally large quan- tlty to market-could hardly fail to call for sidetracked cars in any case The American Railway association which publishes these fortnightly fig. ,res. has only been compiling them since the panic. Its first figures. those of October 30, 1907. showed a short- axe of s6,s11 in the supply of cars, and the shortage was possibly large- etsjl in the middle of last September. lThe actual returns published last Sat- urday showed a surplus of f7o,ooo.

CHARGES AGAINST
CHANCELLOR DAY
PREFERRED TO METHODIST CON.
FERENsE BECAUSE HE CALL
60 ROOSEVELT AN AN.
ARcHIsT.

BRANDON. vt, March 7-Charges
have been preferred by Rev. George A.
Cooke. pastor of the Methodist Epis.
copaI church In Brandon. against the
Rev. ]. R. Day, LII. D.. chancellor OF
Syracuse University, on the ground
that DR.. Day DETAINED the character OF
President Roosevelt. The charges
have been presented to Rev. DR.. R. NJ.
Waters. presiding elder of the Meth
odist church, to which Chancellor Day
is enthusiastically attached.
When interviewed last night con-
corning the allegations, Rev. Mr.. Cooke
said it was true that he had brought
charges against Chancellor Day. He
said that in book entitled "a Raid
on Prosperity" written by Chancellor
Day. President Roosevelt was severely
criticized and that in his opinion DR..
Day had violated the rules OF the Meth
odist Episcopal church in thus assail-
ing the President. Mr.. Cooke stated
that the specific charge preferred was
defamation OF character. He consid-
cred that although Syracuse Univer-
sity is under obligations to the Stand
ard OIL people by reason of large mon
ey gifts. Chancellor Day was not justi-
fed as a minister OF the Methodist
church in assailing President Roose-
welt. The university itself is non-sec-
tartan. 1t is not expected that the
charges will be passed upon at the
April conference OF the New York dis
trict.
Rev. Mr.. Cooke was formerly pastor
OF the Methodist church at Milford,
Mass. and is we'll known in New Eng
land and New York. through his cam
paign against Prof. Hinckly G. Mitch
ell and others on heresy charges. In
an interview Of May s, 1906, chancel-
lor Day is credited with saying:
Anarchy OF the sort practIced by
President Roosevelt is the most dan
gerous kind OF anarchy. Anarchism in
the White House is the most perilous
anarchism that has ever threatened
orr country. II means anarchy Il the

BOOKER I. WASHINGTON
CALLS PROHIBITION
NEGROES BLESSING
.ATTRIRuTEs Two-THIRDs OF THE
LYNcHING TO THE SALE
OF LIQUORS.


Before the largest audience that
ever assembled at the Peoples Forum
in New Rochelle, Booker T. Washing
ton yesterday spoke on the race ques-
tion. He expressed qualification at
the progress made by the temperance
cause in the South, and declared that
the abolition OF the barroom was
blessing to the negro, second only to
the abolition OF slavery. Twothirds
of the mobs and lynchings, he de-
clared. were the result of bad whiskey.
used by bad black men and bad white
men. He urged the necessity of ac-
quiring property and of absorbing eco
nomic ideas.
"The great temperance movement
which has swept the South" said he,
"has been without parallel in history.
Now as 1 have lived to see the whis-
key shops and open barrooms done
away with. there is no telling what
other reforms may take place any
where.
To-day we md only tnlrteen coun-
ties in kentucky where whiskey is sold
under license in Tennessee in only
four cities and two towns. In Florida
there are only fourteen counties where
saloons and barrooms exist. They are
almost extinct in North Carolina, Aft
er next Christmas every barroom in
Mississippi and Alabama will close.
Every barroom in Georgia has gone
out of business, and for the first time
IN forty years an Atlanta paper said
that not single black man was in the
city prison"

Better Pay For
Enlisted Men
FORTY PER CENT. RAISE PRovID
ED FOR IN BILL PASSED BY
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, March T. = The
army pay bill was passed by the sen.
ate yesterday. The bill provides for
army officers graded increase of pay
ranging from 5 per cent. for Heuten-
ant generals to rs per cent for the
junior officers. 1t also provides that
the average pay OF enlisted men Of
the army as now established is in
creased 40 per cent. The amendment,
suggested by Mr.. Culbertson, of Tex
as, takes away the discretion of the
President in fixing the pay OF soldiers.
Mr.. Warren offered a committee
amendment which was adopted ptovid-
ing that nothing in the bill shall be
interpreted as affecting the pay in the
navy. Senator Scott read a letter
from banker who stated army off,
GERS pay per cent. interest per
month to have their salaries discount
ed because their incomes are so
small.
The navy pay bill, equalizing the
pay OF officers of the navy and marine
corps with the pay OF officers of the
army was ordered reported favorably
to the house by the committee on nav
al affairs.
That committee also agreed to re-
port favorably the bill extending to
rear admirals who were retired by
the passage of the navy personnel
act in 1892, the benefits of that act,
whereby the rate of their retired pay
will be increased.
