of the ledger it was claimed that rates
have actually been lowered In the
same period Summarized. Mr.. Brown
said that if the railroads could have
purchased the material and equipment
used, and obtained the labor employed
in the year 1907, on the basis of price;
and scale of wages in effect in 1897
their cost of operation, plus the cost Of
improvements and extensions, would
have been approximately $G76,000 .00(
less; and had they received for doing
the business of 1907 the rates of 1897
their earnings would have been ap
proximately $9O,000000 greater thar
they were.
Mr.. Brown showed the need of more
railroads and plainly indicated that
with a continuation of the policy OF
repression it is useless to hope 70,

He said: THE four great founda

builded, and upon which it's future de

the four great corner stones of this
vast commercial structure can be un

Bunker IL Indicted.

Bunker Ii Indicted.
The grand jury made its report in
the circuit court yesterday, returning
an exceptionally small number of in
dictments. There were 10 of the true
bills, and this is low record for a
good many terms. The jury reports
Investigating Al different matters, and
examiningf54 witnesses.
OF the 10 bills returned, the one to
attract the most attention probably is
that against M. Schoonmaker, the Rey-
nolds banker, who is charged with al,
|tering a warranty deed. Mr.. Schoon-
makers position as one of the most
respected citizens of the lower end of
the county adds to the interest in the
case. The indictment against the
banker charges that July 3, 1898, he
inserted in deed executed by himself
and his wife, paragraph expressing
an alleged agreement between himself
and the purchaser of the land, Henry
Millett, that the buyer should keep UP
the fence along the east side of the
tract
Big Bail for Barnes.
for two crimes against his 15-year-old
daughter, is required by the court to
furnish $4,000 bail on each of the two
indictments in order to secure his
freedom pending a trial of the case.
Barnes was arrested a few days ago
ON charges involving relations with his
daughter, which, she claimed, had con-
tinued from the time she was between
8 and years old. The case is one
of the most shocking that has come
years.
For Confidence Game.
There were three indictments against
John Reiger. alias John Lowe, alias
Gottlieb Stroh, who is charged with
having secured $6S by impersonating
John Lowe and cashing a telegraph
order for the amount. The Postal Tel
egraph & Cable company was his al
legged victim, though one indictment
names H. c. Luchmann as the one de-
frauded.
Elizabeth Peterson is indicted on
three charges for obtaining money by
means of confidence game, her vic.
tins being Pierr & Co., W. G. Putnam
& Co.. and ]. H. Nessley G. Co., each
losing $40, according to the bills. Fred
Walters and A. w. Peal are charged
with swindling Camil Vermeulen out
of $40 by means of confidence game
and another indictment charges that
Peal swindled Vermeulen and that
Walters was an accessory before the
fact
Report on Jail.
The jury reported having made
the usual examination of the
county jail, and for once the grand
jury in its report did not urge the
building of a new Jail. The report
states that the "A prisoners are vel
disciplined and we'll cared for consid
ering the facilities, and no complaints
were made. Practically every Other
grand jury in several years has urged
| the supervisors to take immediate
steps to provide better Jail facilities
and all of these reports have been en-
tirely ignored by the board, even one

Veterans at Salt Lake

Salt Lake City. Utah. Aug. 9.-with
the battered battle flags waving in the
air and the quavering battle cries
waking the echoes of the Mormon cap
ital, the remnants of the vanishing
hosts of the Grand Army OF the Re
public pitched camp today in Salt
Lake City Special trains frocn the
East and Central West completed the
passage of the Rockies and emptied
their human freight of tired but en-
t~husiastic veterans into the Salt Lake
railway station this morning, and
were met by h old soldiers of the
far West and Pacific Coast. Most of
the aged warriors have stood ND well
under the long journey and are able
to stir things up in Brigham Young's
town, but for lot a few the trip will
probably be a las sacrifice on the al
tar of patriotism.
The encampnent opened today, and
which will extend through the entire
week. Is the forty-third In the history
of IA Grand Army. The national As
sociation of Union Ex-Prisoners of
War opened it's thirtyseventh en-

Several cities are asking for the 1910
encampCnent, with St. Louis apparent
ly having the best chance of landing
the plum.
n encacnpment will nave several
matters of Importance before IT..
Among them will be action on a re
port from a special committee ap-
pointed at the Toledo encampnelI
last year to consider and outline a
plan for the incorporation of the trus-
tees of the permanent fun of the
Grand army.
The report of this committee. which
will probably be acted upon favorably
Is in part as follows:
with reference to the main ques-
ton. it is evident from the action OF
the last e-ncampment in creating a
fund and carefully guard
ing the same that 1t is regarded as
highly necessary to Eaake proper pro-
vision for our organization in its de
clining years.
This protection for funds iltrust-
ed TO us for a period of years in or
der that we may enjoy the interest or
earnings thereof during the period OF
our need can only b safely had from
a corporate body whose failure to dis
charge its duty can be corrected by
the courts and its obligations rigidly
enforced. Funds, or rather, the use
of funds thus given TO us would fur
nish the very protection which our or
der needs for its declining years. The
- . rIA,- 0i~AD
would be beyond the reach of those
of orr comrades who carelessly or
thoughtlessly may consume them, ami
the earnings and interest would flow
into bur treasury periodically TO meet
such proper OUTLAWS as legitimate
means make necessary.
I'VE submit that nothing less than
a legal corporation will give that sta
tbility and accountability to our or
der which 1t should possess in order
to properly and safely attend the fl
| nancial features which it has found
it necessary TO adopt in the creation
of its permanent fund. When il is
| borne in mind that the object of the
services which brought us together
was the saving and preserving of the
Union. then il seems but natural that
we should ask the Congress of our
| country 4 accord and grant to us the
powers and duties of a corporation.
| Such a course ought to meet with
IN approval of all our comrades and
| guard against the opposition which
| might he engendered by h prefer
| ence of one state over the Others.
Hence we recommend the incor-
| poration OF four organizations, tina;
| the application be made for the in
| corporation of this body by the Con
| gress of the United States at the ear
| Hest practicable opportunity; that
such Incorporation lbe named The
Grand Army of the Republic;' that
| the officers of this body be empower
| ed to execute all applications and pa
| pers necessary therefor; that a com
| mittee of three be appointed by the
| commander in chief at the next en-
| campment, to take such steps as may
be necessary to bring about such in
corporation"

Printers in Health Crusade

St. Joseph, Mo-, Aug. 9.-That the
organized printers of the country are
in earnest in the fight against tuber-
~culosis and other plaques that have
hinned their ranks in the past Is
shown in the reports presented today
at the session of the International
Typographical Union.
Much space IN the report of the
president, James NJ. Lynch, Is de-
voted Il the efficient work that has
been done by the organization in its
health campaign, and the work it has
accomplished in its war against tu-
b~erculosis. Mr.. Lynch says, as to ua-

be justified In making particular
scales or these exceptionally I'M

materially higher than those that APP

"convinces h members of the coun-
Gil that insurance for the members
of the International Typographical
Union is feasible and that the main
question is as to the expense per
member.
The council expresses itself in ia
vor of a fiat burial benefit of $1,000 a
member, or a graded benefit ranging
from 5000 to 5000 a member, accord
ing to length of membership.
