All glory to this now beatified woamn who doubtless beholds with rejoicing the assured redemeption of our land from the demon rum.
 In such a review as this it would be all but unpardonable not to give place to the two most glorious men of all our country-Grant and Lincoln. Our Empire state of the west will carry down into history the supreme glory of giving for the salvation of the un- ion the mightiest military chieftain of all time and the wisest, greatest ruler and statesman that ever administered the government of any nation. Con- cerning our unique immortal, martyr chief l am attempted to quote lines from LOwell's cOmmemoration ode: Nature, they say doth dote, And cannot make a man Save on some worn out plan, Repeating as by note: For him her Old World moulds aside
 she threw
 And. choosing sweet clay from the
 breast,
 Of the unexhausted West, With stuff unstained shaped a hero

 And l will add: the gentlest. ten derest, purest, sublimest American sa- vior of our country, of the union. And because he saved the union We old Illinoisans have the liberty of this far away south land where no blight of slavery shall ever come. As I stand in this elect presence in this fairest of climes, d vision looms before me; I seem to catch a glimpse of what is yet to be.
 To use Whittier's carplet "I dream of man and woman, Divine but still human.
 If Lowell could say: New birth from out new soil, the
 first American"
 Why may not we say:
 "A newer diviner birth from this newest and yet oldest of soils"
 Old chaos ages on ages ago nightly moved from beneath and threw forth this soil that doubtless through myr- iads of Aeons was undergoing pro- cesses of refining and concentration of qualities more precious than gold and silver If now this soil so loaded with previously varied particles. under the action of climate and water-combin- ing in themselves multiplied elements of productiveness-abun flowers beautifully illumined with most bril- liant hues and tints, regaling our senses with rarest perfumes. produces

Mrs. COchrane's downfall came yes terday when she went to a local bank with the mortgage on Loveioy's home and a large number of shares of stock in the Amador Queen Mining company of California. She wished to borrow $450, 900 on them. When she was told that the loan could not be made with out the board of directors acting on the matter, she attempted to borrow $35 on her own name The immense tumble aroused the suspicion of the bank officials and an investigation quickly followed. At o'clock this morning Mrs. Cochrane disappeared from her magnificent experiments at Mckee and Cable Place, Oakland, and has not been seen since.
 In January of this year Mrs. Coch- rane went to MT. Lovejoy with the in tention of interesting him in gold min ing stock that she said she owned. MT. Lovejoy at that time was hard pressed for money, the Fidelity Title and Trust company having demanded payment of interest on a mortgage for s75,0O0 on his home. He explained his position to Mrs. Cochrane, and she readily con- scented to assist him with a loan of $100,000, taking a mortgage on the mansion, which has come to be known as 'Lovejoys Folly" and which Mir Lovejoy has already spent $750 900. The money was to be furnished by s. s. Green of Phoenix, Arizona, who is also believed to be a dupe of Mrs. Cochrane. So anxious was MT. Love- joy to have the deal completed that he signed the mortgage, when only the Sl hand money had been paid over. This was on January 15. Usually such a mortgage is not recorded for two weeks. but on the following day Mrs. Cochrane had it recorded here. At the court house it appears in mortgage volume 1927, page 606. Then Mrs. Coch- rane kept out of MT. Lovejoy's way.
 The mortgage is gilt-edged. It is for five years at per cent interest unusually high rate for such improved property. There is a clause which al- lows payment after three years, if six months notice is given, Lovejoy to show that all taxes and every incum- brance against the property has been paid. The property is described in de- tail Leo M. Dillon. a notary public, in the office of Pagan and Magee, at torneys, attested the mortgage.
 Mrs. Cochrane is under forty years of age, and. while not beautiful, is stunning in appearance. She dresses magnificently in black, which causes her to be known among Pittsburg fi- nanciers as The Woman in Black"
 Several attempts were made recently to dispossess her of her quarters in the Hartford apartments, but she refused to leave. This morning at o'clock, however. knowing that exposure awaited her, she disappeared.

THE STOCK MARKET
 DULL AND DEPRESSED
One of the Causes Was the Gloomy Outlook for the Copper Trade.

New York, Feb. 17.-Dullness and depression overhung the stock market today The active operations which prompted price declines were largely in the hands of professionals. Copper securities, including American Smelt- ing. were under special pressure in connection with another sharp decline in the price of copper, both here and in London. American Smelling touch ed a new low level for the year.
 There are gloomy reports current of the copper trade outlook Some of the days depression came from foreign influences. such as the Macedonian question. the important failure of a Scottish engineering firm and profess ed apprehension over the relations be- tween the United States and Japan.

ouctS some Large Operations.
 The following story from the Los Angeles Examiner of the 18th is quite interesting at least and has a touch of local color in 1t by the suggestion that d Phoenix man has also been a victim of the female frenzied financier. :. S. Green, the Phoenix man mentioned said he had transacted some business with Mrs. Cochrane but he knew noth- ing of the incidents recited in the Ex- aminer's story:
 Pittsburg-F'rancis T. F. Lovejoy. former partner of Andrew Carnegie, gave a mortgage on his S750.000 man. sion here amounting to $100,000, for which he received in return the sum of $1 as hand money" and nothing more. Mrs. Mary F. Cochrane, to whom the mortgage was given through a third person, is mysteriously miss ing, and today came out the story of her remarkable career, which rivals that of Mrs. Cassie Chadwick. In se- curing intrOductions to men of wealth and prominence, Mrs. Cochrane used letters from Ellis H. Roberts, former treasurer of the United States; Bourke Cochran. Dolphin NJ. Delmas. Mrs. Het- ty Green, the late Judge John J. Wyckham. justice of the superior court of Pennsylvania and a dozen judges of prominence in and about Pittsburg. Some of these letters are undoubtedly genuine, others were probably forgeries.
 Mrs. COchrane. known to Pittsburg financiers as ''The Woman in Black is q daughter of Col. w. B. Dunlap and q niece of the late Senator Sem ator Dunlap. Some time ago she was in the county jail at Newcastle. Just how mucn she secured from wealthy Pittsburgers is unknown. but the amount is believed to be enormous.

Most people do not realize the alarming increase and remarkable prevalency of kidney disease. While kidney disorders are the most common diseases that prevail. they are almost the last recognized by patient or phy- sicians. who content themselves with doctoring the effects, while the orig inal disease undermines the system.

COME HERE FOR APPLES.

The apple harvest is now practical
ly over and will be completed within
week. The eastern slope did not
have enough apples this year to make
a barrel of cider while certain parts
of the western slope, particularly the
counties of Montrose, Delta, Mesa.
Garfield and MonteZuma are turning
off the finest kinds of yields. The
ten days storm which came with the
annual October SHOWS passed off
without much of n freeze so that no
particular damage was done to the
fruit although some of the heavily
laden trees suffered from breakage.
Much of the apple crop has not yet
been marketed and the Field and
Farms annual edition, which will
be the last issue in the year. will
contain complete resume of the
output. The figures could scarcely
be gathered before the time when
our statistics will be complete. The
quality of the fruit this year is all
right but the color is not quite SO
brilliant as usual. This condition,
however, does not apply to the
Jonathans which are the handsomest
we ever saw. We are beginning to
think that the Jonathan is the great
apple for this country Field and

to take up the work preliminary to
the next session.
The ways and means committee of
the house (Senator Payne of New
York, chairman) will meet to take up
consideration of the tariff schedules
for the promised revision of the Ding
ley law. There was an implied agree
ment by members of this committee
that the meeting should be held dur
ing. the summer and early fall, but
political conditions caused a change
in plans and members of the commit
tee could not be induced to foregather
here for the work.
The special wood paper pulp in

James r. Ham of Chicago, chair
mani will meet to prenare its re-
port for congress. Members of this
committee have been busy during the

is to be a recommendation for the
reduction of the tariff on Canadian
wood pulp.
Senator Nelson A. Aldrich's com
mittee on currency reform and the
presentation of plan for a perfect

eign system. other members have
been looking into the financial his
tory of this country, with the pur-
pose of determining just to what
extent foreign plans may be adopted
into the lack of system prevailing in
this country.
There is gathering of the sub
committee of this committee here this
week for conference and comparison
of plans. Reports given out are to
the effect that the committee is not
ready with any recommendations for
a complete financial system.

tee on appropriations will go over
the estimates for governmental ex-
penditures in 1909. 1t is desired to

that he could have gotten $4,000
for it from Mrs. Smith and her nus

he feared for his life, and that If he

his tombstone that he died for telling
the truth. He reiterated this as he
lay dying.
Mrs. Smith said that she was Gus

her cousin, had told her that she was

there were only two others mention
