TWO OLD FRIENDS
New York SUM-


Squire Hapgood rode into Arkansas
City on his powerful roam saddle horse
soon after noon. with a look Of anxiety
on his face and large bundle of papers
i'm his pocket. He was seen not lar
from the levee by Jake WinterbOttom,
who greeted him heartily, and turned
back almost Immediately after the en-
counter, having observed that the
squire was riding in the direction OF old
man Greenhuts saloon.
Mr.. Winterbottom. however, was con-
siderabIy surprised when he arrived at
the saloon some twenty minutes later
to find that the squire was not there
and that. moreover. ne had not commu-
nicated recently in any way with his
friend Greenhut.

Investigating Insane Asylum Scandal at Patton.

Los Angeles, June 14.-Startling dis closures were made in the testimony given by inmates of the state insane asylum at Patton in an investigation by the district attorney of San Ber- nardino county today. The testimony showed many acts of extreme cruelty against inmates by Watchman Hans Berg. who was discharged a week ago and is now being held in jail awaiting the outcome of the investigation. It was testified by one inmate that Berg picked up Henry Grassmee, the inmate whose death a week ago caus
 cd the investigation, and threw him against the dormitory wall A physi elan at the asylum had signed a death certificate that Grassmee died of pare sis. but today he testified that the in- juries received by Ghassmee at the hands of Berg hastened his death. There are five watchmen for 750 inmates. Grassmee, who was not vio- lent. and only mildly 1emented at times. was put in a ward with many violently insane.

Builard brought out the fact that there is no government in the world, and never has there been a sound one except it has been based upon a firm foundation religiously: that the. fear of God, is one of the key stones to every sub stantial government, that even Napo- leon the atheist, finally found out that he could never establish a firm, and everlasting government, until the fear of God had been made one of the prin- ciple blanks in the policy of the gov ernment, and though he at once set about to establish a man made reli- zion, with Napoleon at the head, it was too late, for already the timbers had commenced to decay, and the structure to tremble.-He described the flag in it's three parts, to the red. the past blood that has been spilled for liberty. to the white, honest diplomacy, and a clean record, and to the blue, a political sky of blue, serene and with out a ripple of crookedness. that the flag complete stood for liberty of thought of action. and of noble desires.

THERE WERE MORE SELLERS THAN BUYERS 0F SHOCKS
There Was a Consequent Decline in Prices.

New York, June 14.-There was a l further shrinkage in :he volume of the stock market today, following the ten dency of last week. The efforts of | the organized speculative element to | effect profit taking sales and take ad- vantage of any outside demand at 1 tracted by the week end influences forced a decline after the opening. fin
 consequence of the meager proportions of the outside demand. The entire un- responsiveness of the general market f to the impressive advance in United States Steel proved a striking feature
 of the days transactions. The accu-
 mutation of United States Steel was most persistent and aggressive, both for home and the London market. Buy ing from both sources was important and was due to influential financial interests. Aside from the impression
 made by the buying itself and the in ferences drawn from it, there was no new development concerning the prop erty to account for the strength of
 United States Steel The great expan- sion which the loan item of the banks is showing was much discussed but the
 interior demand for credit remained so quiet that opinion on the money situation was treasured. There was a softening of rates for time loans.
