OF CASH
FOR BUYING SPACE
DEMOCRATS LAVISH WITH FUNDS
FROM MYSTERIOUS SOURCE
IN WYOMING.
Large Firm.o Of Importers, Favorin3
Election Of Bryan and Free Trade
Congress, Suspected Ct Being the
"AHge. In Observation-Disclosures
0ettinsi Vast sums for space.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct 27.-People
irrespective OF party are startled here
at the bold and lavish expenditure of
money by the democratic national com.
mittee. particularly in respect to the
corruption and subsidixing Of repub-
licAn newspapers all cver the state OF
Wyoming. The amount Of money used
to buy space In republican newspapers
in this state Is so large as to cause
many people to wonder where this
large corruption fund is coming from.
Many papers have been approached
and not q few OF them have sold their
space at from fifteen to twenty times
their regular advertising rates.
Kept Profound Secret.
Where this corruption fund is com
ing from IL q. profound secret. It ia
noticed. that nowhere in the published
reports Of expenditures bv the demo
cratic national OF state committees
does 1t appear that any money has
been, expened for the subsidizing of
newspapers, yet there is abundant, and
positive proof that money has been
used for this purpose on q large scale.
Handled to Avoid Exposure.
Inasmttod av5the published reports
do not show these expenditures the
only solution or explanstnn is that
these corruption funds are being dis
bursed and handled entirely outside
of and independent of the regular com
mittee 20 as to avoid exposure. This
is a plain violation Of law, which re-
quires all money to be expended by or
through tie regular treasury Of the
importers Are Suspected.
There is much speculation as to the
source from which, comes this enor-
nous sum Of money. Some suspect that
the Importers Trust, a powerful and
wealthy organization of importers
whose heatiuarters is In New York, is
putting up the cash. This ~organiza-
ton, which deals entirely With import
ed goods is strongly in favor Of free
trade. Labor is SO much cheaper in
the foreign countries that but for a
protective tariff there importers could
have almost neE1enopoty CT the Amcrii
a market on, many articles Of manu-
facture.
Importers Favor Bryan.
The importers OF members OF this
trust are said 10 be almost to q mar
in favor o! the election of the demo
cratic national ticket. II is suspected
therefore, that they may have some
thing to do with the raising Of an i'm
mense campaign fund. Again there
are rumors that a certain big oil trust
has furnished the funds. The source
whence comes the money Is unknown.
but there is no doubt that the demo-
cratic organization has the money and
that it is using 1t to substitute the pa
pers on the largest scale ever attempt
ed by any political party since the
founding OF the government.

COWS SHOULD Be cuRRlEp.

Dairy COWS should be frequently ard
thoroughly groomed. Cows which are reg
uiarly combed give more and better milk
A Maine dairyman says the Tactical Sc
erection is more regular and active II the
waste matters OF the organism are prop
erly eliminated by the skin and the milk
has not that peculiar taste which Is so
~perceptible from an ili-kept COW barn and
an il-groomed cow. The grooming OF fat
tening cattle should likewise always be
attended to. The functions OF the digestive
apparatus are promoted by careful groom
Ing. The appetite is excited and rumiDa-
ton Is made easier and there Is improve

laying on flesh.
The method Of grooming cattle for milk

OLD WALSH LINES IN
HANDS OF RECEIVER
Southern Indiana Railway Is
Obliged to Seek Protection
to Save Credit.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Myron j. Carpen-
ter, formerly president of the Chicago
a. Eastern Illinois railroad, today was
appointed receiver for the Southern In
diana railway by Federal Judge Kohl
saat.
Petitions of intervention were filed by
the Chicago Southern railway asking
for the extension of the receivership to
that road. The application IA taken
under advisement by Judge Kohlsaat
and the hearing continued until August
%.
The notes under which the receiver
ship was procured are owned by the
First Trust and Savings bank for the
account of associated banks, and were
acquired at the time these banks took
owe the assets of the John r.. Walsh
banks.
The receivership, it is said, does not
affect in any unfavorable way Walsh.
or the firm of j.. r.. Wash & Co.
The recefvership was made necessary
by the industrial depression n was
asked for the purpose of conserving the
credit and of the company.
Attempt at Secrecy.
An unusual feature of the court pro-
ceedingS was the secrecy employed.
The petition on which the receiver was
named was taken last night to Judge
Kohlsaat's home and a deputy clerk of
the court summoned TO transcribe the
order. The silence was to forestail an
attempt of antagonistic creditors to be-
gin foreclosure of suits. which would
hamper the adjudication of the whole
properties.
The Southern Indiana railway first
was acquired by John r. Walsh in ex-
tending his banking business from
banking lines to wider financial expan-
sion. The methods employed to de-
velop the road and finance other rail-
road enterprises formed a large part
of the trial which preceded the con
viction of Walsh on q charge of mis-
applying the funds of the bank Of
which he was the president.

GOOD o A HORSES.

Morgan and hackney horses are laid
to make an excellent cross-a class
that cannot be beaten as roadsters. A
writer In the Bulletin gives his exper-
ience as follows:
Some years ago, being convinced
the two families-Morgan and hackney
that they should mingie well. and
the opportunity falling I'm my way, I
purchased a 12-year-old hackney mare
IA nice bay standing 15h hands, OF
grand bone substance. great cour-
age and fine action.
Her first foal-a flly-was sired by
a 15-hand chestnut Morgan horse OF
remarkable development and still sound
at 33 years old. This Ally Is now
7 years old, a chestnut OF much the
same conformation as her dam, though
on finer lines. She roads IA miles in
an hour, under restraint, IND so miles.
In three hours. How much longer she
would keep up these gaits Is a mat
ter OF conjecture.
she is OF a highly nervous temper
ament, with great courage and endur-
ance, but remarkably gentle and In
telligent.
THE next produce OF the hackney
mare-in 1902-is now a 15h hands.
cherry bay stallion with style and ac-
ton, and will road 10 miles an hour.

and courage. In 1904 the stallion

The next year the hackney mare
produced another filIy, now nearly rs
hands. and In 1906 yet another coit.
and this remarkable mare has now
passed on to the peaceful grazing
grounds.
