What Hartman
has been doing
to the West
What the West
is Pr repairing to
do to Hartman.

A few years ago Hartman was hailed as the
Vests benefactor. He certainly did fix its
railroads. He fixed them in various ways.
Now he holds the West in the palm of his
hand and the West is stripping for a fight. 1t
costs one-haIf as much to ship from New
York to San Francisco as 1t does from New
York to Salt Lake City. Coal mined in
Utah is cheaper in Denver than it isin Utah.
But Mr. Hartman likes long hauls; it is a
sort of tribute he seems to think the West
owes him. But the West diSagrees, and
there is big fight brewing fight such as
this country has never seen-a fight between
the power of one man and the people of
one-half of the United States. The whole
story is in PearSon's Magazine for Septem-
ber-a story Illuminating as to Hartman
practices story every man should read and
digest. Other sections may some time face
the same thing.

It happened that called at an inopportune time. as ths women folk were housekeeping. In fact, noticed as I drove up to the house that the clotheslines in the yard back of the house were laden with carpets
 Den was very anxious that should look over his prize fowls, in which he took especial pride. We went out into the big yard back of the house. AS Den was pointing out to me his favor ftes we noticed one old hen going through some queer antics. She was pecking away at something on tho ground, lifting 1t in her bill and drop ping 1t again.
 Whats tho matter with the old Biddy, anyway. DenT asked.

SMALL CHECKS LEGAL.

A story to the effect that checks drawn for less than $1 after January list would be illegal and that gained considerable recognition from the daily papers last week has proven to be largely false According to the secretary of the treasury department at Washington, the story is based on an act passed as far back as 1862 and designed to remedy conditions that ex- isted at the time of the war. The act was quoted by many of the papers with the statement that it was a re- cent enactment. It is supposed that someone started the story for the pur- pose of a sensation. Many inquiries were sent the treasury department as 8 result of it and which inspired the following statement from Secretary Norton of that department
 The concern of the question of the legality of issuing checks for less than S1 is entire needles In 1862, in or der to raise funds for war purpose the law was passed placing postage in genera! circulation as money It was important this arrangement should not he interfered with by in- .dividuals issuing notes or checks to be used in fractional currency \ clause was there fore inserted to pre- vent this
 "A bank check is an order on d banker to pay a designated sum of money. It is not intended to be put There is no conflict with this ancient law in issuing checks for any amount however small Such has been the construction placed upon the law by the treasury from the passage of the act in 1862 down to the present mo- ment."
 That trade paper editors did not give the story credence is to their credit, as it indicates the absence of sensational element which is such a factor in the daily press and some times to be deplored One or two of our contemporaries, however, fall for the story.-Eli Grocer.

ROY C. DANIELS ENDS
 LIFE WITH A BULLET
Promoter of Dcfunct Arkansas AmuSC- mcnt Company is Driven to Act by Repeated Failures.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. .,-Roy G. Dan iels, president of the Arkansas Amuse- ment Company of Hot Springs, Ark, committed suicide at the National hotel here yesterday afternoon by shooting himself. He left a letter giv- ing the financial failure of several of his houses as the reaspn for his act.
 Mr. Daniels came to Pine Bluff from Hot Springs at the beginning of the summer amusement season and pur- chased the Theatorium and leased the Forest Park Theater. The Theatrium was unsuccessful from the start an,i was closed by creditors attaching the property.
 Daniels attempted the organization of the Arkansas Amusement Company to control the bookings at moving pie ture shows and small vaudeville houses throughout the state. The un- dertaking was larger one than he had contemplated and his funds were insufficient to encounter the ODDosi- tlon and the company holdings at Hot Springs were sold to satisfy pressing creditors. Daniels objected to the sale and after it was made attempted to nave a receiver appointed for the conl- pany, but the Chancery court upheld the sale and Daniels left the state about four months ago. His wife left Hot Springs month ago for their former home at Kansas City.
