says she advanced him SIS and
also presented him with a $40
stick pin.

ate. Her death followed. The
Rev. Powers will be held as a
witness If he can be found.

PRESIDENT
SNUbbED
AGAIN
Congress Denies His Re.
quest for Broadening
of Secret Service
Activities.
(By United Press Leased Wire.) }

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10.
In spite of the recommendations
of President Roosevelt to the con-
trary, the sundry appropriation
bill, which was reported to the
house today, contained the same
clause limiting the activities of
the governments secret service
agents in running down counter
feiters and protecting the chief
executive.
The presence of the clause is
regarded as an Indication that
congress was justified in inserting
it after listening to testimony
given by executive officers of the
government in the recent inquiry
conducted by congressional COM
mittee to learn more about the
operations of the secret service.
These officials declared that by
limiting the service the investiga-
tion of frauds would not be ham
pered.
Biggest Items.
The largest items on the appro-
priation bill were $33,668,000
for the Panama canal, and $19,-
574,514 to be used in conducting
rivers and harbors work. The bill
contains clause granting the sec
retary of the interior $1,000,000.
for the detection and prevention
of fraud on the public domains.
Five hundred thousand dollars
was granted last year, Secretary
Garfield asking for an increase to
prosecute the land fraud cases
now pending. The bill carried a
total appropriation of $135, ,022,-
900.
To Remove Maine Wreck.
One clause authorizes the presi-
dent, with the consent of Cuba, to
invite proposals for the removal
of the battleship Maine from the
Havana harbor. Congress can
then decide whether the battle
ship will be removed, and the
cause of the explosion definitely
determined.
Two and one-half millions was
appropriated for the construction
of building in Washington to
house the general land office, the
geological survey, the Indian af-
fairs office and the offices of the
reclamation service.

Austria to Declare War on
Servia - Crisis Is Ex-
pected Within Two
Weeks.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Feb. 19.-Hostilities
between Servia and Austria are
said to be closer at hand today
than Mt any time since the war
talk involving those two countries
began.
Threat Made.
This is made plain in a note
the Austrian government recently
sent to Belgrade. It was reveal
ed today that 1t contained the
threat that unless Servia disarms
her troops by February 27 Aus
tria will declare war and rush SOL
diers to the frontier.
The communication removes all
doubt that Austria will no longer
tolerate the depredations commit
ted by Servian bands in the prov
inces of Herzegovina and Bosnia.
Will Not Yield.
The general impression here is
that Servia will not yield and that
hostilities will open within a fort
night. The Austrian gunboats
in the Danube are. on war foot
ing and in excellent position to
menace Belgrade.
Situation Grave.
The situation is SO grave that
the Servian cabinet has been dis
cussing it in secret sessions for
several hours, with King Peter
holding out for peace.

GRAFT IN THE COFFEE TARIFF.

Cyrus F. Blanke, head Of the &.
+. Blanke Tea and Coffee Company
of st. Louis, one of the biggest inn
porting firms in the Middle West,
says the st. Louis Times, declared
last Monday that If coffee is taken
from the free list and n tariff placed
on IL will enable two of the three
largest coffee syndicates In the
United States to clean up from S20,-
100000 to $50, 0O0,0 900 within GO days
after the schedule, as proposed, be-
comes effective.
The ultimate consumer will have
to pay for this "killlng," Blanke
declares. He says these coffee syn
dicates are behind the movement to
have Congress impose II AZ tariff
and through their efforts mislead-
ing information has been placed in
the hands of Congressman.
"a New York syndicate COM
posed Of three of the greatest i'm
porting corporations is active for n
tariff because it will gain them mill
lions. Between them they now have
in New York, or en- route from their
warehouses in Europe, nearly l.
000, 900 bags of coffee, which is more
than j2S, 900, 600 pounds"
"When they bought the last crop"
continued Mr.. Blanke, "they OBJ
tanned promise from the Brazilian
Government that special export
tax of 20G would be levied In ad-
dition to The regular ad valorem of
29sE. Three weeks ago that special
tax went into effect. There Is prac-
tically no coffee being shipped from
Brazil now and will not be until
next August.
with strong movement on foot
to put a tariff on coffee, the supply
the syndicate owns in Europe is be-
ing shipped to New York to get ii
into the country before such tax
goes on.
"The result of tariff will be that
other United States importers cannot
get coffee from Brazil without pay
ing the regular export tariff, the
special tax, and the tariff for en-
trance to this country. Opposed to
them is this vast supply in New
York in the hands of these syndi-
Gates. within sixty days at the
outside other importers will be com
PEELED to buy syndicate coffee, and
the syndicate will gain millions.
We will have to tack the extra cost
on our prices and the consumer will
pay the freight. -

THE CATALo. SOMETHING
NEW IN STOCK BREEEING.

A friend who recently returned
from Texas furnished The Times
with the following interesting item,
together with a photograph of the
buffalo herd mentioned, which may
be seen Mt our office, with n picture
Of the cross between the buffalo and
the cow, referred to therein, the
catalo:
"Mr. Chas. Goodnight of Claude,
Texas, has the only native herd of
buffalo IN the world. He usually
has about 100 in the herd. Mrs.
Goodnight took them in as small
calves and since the buffalo is n ma
tive of Texas she and her husband
decided that 1t would be loss to
humanity 10 permit such II hardy
animal as the buffalo to become eN-
tinct.
"Mr. Goodnight then began to
make experiments in hibridi@ation
and has given to the world n hybrid
which is a cross between the buffalo
and the COW. This animal Is called
a "catalo,n and Mr.. Goodnight sells
them for rs much as $500 each.
"They partake of the hardy ma
ture of the buffalo and yet have the
kind disposition of a cow, know
how to protect the young from wild
beasts and from cold, can live on
less food and of poorer quality and
they possess an extra rib. This
amounts to IA good deal when large
herd of Texas cattle goes on the
scales.
"Mr. Goodnight is now expert
menting on hybrid which will give
to the world Jersey which will
give pure cream.

night has made his catalV was

Rheumatism.

More than nine out OF every ten
cases OF rheumatism are simply
rheumatism of the muscles, due to
cold or damp, or chronic rheuma-
tlsm. In such cases no internal
treatment is required. The free APP

Is all that il needed, and it is Ger
tain to give quick relief. Give II u
trial and see for yourself how quick
ly II relieves the pain and soreness.
The medicines usually given inter
nally for rheumatism are poisonous
or very strong medicines. They are
worse than useless in cases Of
