the court room when the verdict was
announced and both women sobbed
convulsively when the fate Of the hus-
band and son was made known. The
minimum penalty is five years in the

motion for a new trial will be made
and in the event of a refusal an ap-
peal will likely be taken.

NEW CERTIFICATE
Designs for Gold Certificates Have
Been Prepared

Washington, Feb. 1S-Secretary
Cortelyou has had prepared at the
bureau of engraving and printing, new
designs for gold certificates Of the ten
and fifty dollar denomination. On the
face of the ten dollar certificate is
an admirable bust portrait of the
late President Cleveland, the lower
part framed in wreath of laurel, and
on the face of the fifty Is an equally
fine portrait of General Grant similar
ly treated with wreath of oak
leaves. The text on the fact of each
of the notes is SO arranged as to
have the general effect of wide ped
estal upon which the busts are rest
ing. The numerals in the corners of
the notes are large and conspicuous
and the scroll engraved borders are
narrower than in other notes, leaving
a larger white space in the centers.
The backs of the notes are printed
in gold bronze color used exclusively
in printing gold certificates. 1t is
the opinion OF the treasury officials
that the designs for the new notes
are superior to any hitherto put out
by the government. 1t is expected
that the notes of the new series will
be ready for issue within the next
three months.

Madison. Wis. Feb. 1.-Strong pres
sure is being brought to bear both for
and against the reelection of United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson, when
the two legislative branches meet In
joint assembly tomorrow noon. The
primary investigation resolution which
has not yet been disposed Of is the
cause Of number of members with

Stephenson. The fact. too. that the
senator has not filed his election ex-

will be delayed until after an investi-
cation of the senatorial primary 10

the act of May 80. 1908, and $s0.00O.-
900 of the new notes are now being

the place of the old national bank
notes which will be retired as fast as

Washington association, however, is
the only one which has fully complied
with the requirements of the law as
interpreted by the secretary of the
treasury.
Soon after the act of May 80, 1908,
was passed, there was general move
ment among the banks OF the coun-
try to form currency associations. but
the question was early raised whether
an individual bank could retire from
the association at it's pleasure provid-
ed all of the obligations of the associ-
ated banks had been fully met. The
secretary of the treasury decided
against this proposition, whereupon
banks generally suspended further eff
forts to form associations until con-
gress had specifically authorized the
retirement of banks under the condi-
tions named. Up to this time congress
has taken no action in the matter.
