BUSINESS CRISIS
RACES At Upton


p Upton, Ind, July 29.-Nothing has
been heard as to the whereabouts of
the movements of Noah Marker. the
absconding employe of the First Nat
fonal bank. The opinion prevails that
he is now beyond the boundary line
of the country Photographs are in
the hands Of the federal authorities
and Pinkertons.
1t has developed that Marker had
been preparing for ten days to leave
the country providing he failed in the
attempt to scoop together enough
money to make good his then existing
shortage. No official information is
forthcoming pending the completion
OF the examination but it is reliably
stated that checks as well as notes
We're forged by Marker. A shortage
OF something in excess Of $4,000 is
traceable to Marker and In addition
the bank has hundred to hundred
and fifty thousand dollars tied up in
bad" loans.
It Il conceded that a business crisis
exists in Upton, but confidence pre-
walls that the storm will be weathered
Il any success in collections is met
with.

COUNTY FAIR ON
At AAGERSTOWN

Hagerstown, Ind, July 29.-Yester-
day really marked the opening of the
twentieth annual fair of Wayne coun-
ty. Weather conditions were good
and the racing of the afternoon was
fair. The attendance was the small
est that it has been on Wednesday
for several years. Several reasons
are given, among them the fact that
no family tickets were issued. Anoth-
err reason was that the farmers have
been put back with their work on &C
count of the wet weather and many
were too busy to quit their work. The
fair is clean in every way and it is a
noticeable thing about the fair that
there is no gambling and no booze on
the grounds as has been the case a
few years ago.
Races Were Good.
The races were as follows:
3-Year-Oid Trot-Purse $500.

ALOR|CH'S BLUFF
PROMPTLY CALLED
It WAS REPORTED
fCnntfnued From page Onel
Continued From Page One.)

II the president did not refrain from
upsetting the agreements they were
reaching. To this the president is
said to have retorted that If no bill
was passed at this session he would
call another extra session in October.
Under Great Strain.
Such colloquies as this convey an
idea of the severe tension under
which the leaders Of the republican
party have been working in order to
accomplish the socalled downward
revision" When submitting to exec
utive pressure for free hides the SEN
ate conferees were forced to abandon
some Of the western senators who had
supported the finance committee
through thick and thin while the tariff
bin was under discussion in the SEN
ate, and they found themselves in an
awkward position with respect to get
ting majority vote for the report.
It was absolutely necessary to make
concessions as to other schedules in
order to make sure Of a sufficient
number Of votes for the final passage
of the bill. The most convenient way
OF accomplishing this result was to
bring into camp enough of the west
ern senators who could be partially
reconciled for the loss of the duty on
hides by an increase in the lumber
rate. Consequently they boosted that
duty up to $1.40. and when the house
conferees demurred the situation was
explained to them in such convinc-
ing way that they acquiesced in the
increase.
Obstacles Too Great.
It would be easy, enough to get $125
on lumber through the house. but the
obstacles in the senate were of more
serious character Senator Aldrich
believes the president did not under
stand this delicate and complicated
situation when he told a number of
congressman that anything above
$1.25 on lumber would not meet with
his approval: hence the sharp dia-
logue between the senator and tne
president yesterday afternoon. Last
night the matter had been fully elu.
cidated to the president, but If he
should not be converted to the con-
ferees' view there will be trouble not
now anticipated for the bill -

ThouqhtfuI Man.

A lady who is subject to heart dis
ease took tea last Sunday with a
neighbor, and while sitting at table
her husband rushed in without a hat
and in his shirt sleeves.
"Be calmr he exclaimed hurriedly
to his wife, Don't excite yourself.
You know you can't stand excitement,
and it might be worse!'
Good gracious" cried the wife.
"The children
They're all right. Now, Mary, don't
get excited. Keep calm and cool. 1t
can't be helped now. We must bear
these visitatlons of Providence with
philosophy"
"Then it's motherr' gasped the wife.
"Your mothers safe. Get on your
things, but don't hurry or worry. It's
too late to be of any use, but I'll fly
back and see what can do. l only
came to tell you not to get excited"
For mercy sake" implored the al
most fainting woman, tell me the
worstw
"Well, if you will have it, the conse
quences be on your own head, Mary
I've tried to prepare you, and if you
will know-don't excite yourself; try
and keep calm-but our kitchen chin
ney's on fire, and all the neighbors are
in our front garden"

The Trapdoor Spider.

One of the most singular specimens
of insect life is the trapdoor spider Of
Jamaica. His burrow is lined wild
silk and closed by a trapdoor with a
hinge. The door exactly fits the en-
trance to the burrow and when closed
so precisely corresponds with the sur
rounding earth that it can hardly be
distinguished even when its position is
known. 1t is a strange sight to see
the earth open, little lid raise, some
hairy legs protrude and gradually the
whole form of the spider show itself.
These spiders generally hunt for food
by night, and in the daytime they are
very chary of opening the door of their
domicile, and if the trap be raised from
the outside, they run to the spot, hitch
the claws Of their forefeet in the lining
of the burrow and so resist with all
their might. The strength of the spider
is wonderfully great in proportion to
its size.

quently absurdly trivial. After several
days together, as on shipboard, every
unimportant matters with the deepest
interest. r. II. Milligan in book en-
titled 1.-THE Jungle Folk of Africa" re-
counts with what complacency the
conclusion was reached that the thir-
teen colonies should never have re-
belled and that the blame was all on
the side of England.
One man, moreover, disclosed the
fact that he always wore safety pins
instead of garters and descanted upon
his preference with such enthusiasm
that he made at least one convert.
One night we put in practice the
principle of arbitration, of which we
were all adherents. An argument had
arisen among us as to which was the
more simple Of the two currency sys-
tens, dollars and cents or pounds, shil-
lings and pence. At last, the captain
arriving, we decided to refer the mat
ter to him and to surrender our judg-
ment to his arbitration.
The captain, an Englishman of the
very stolid sort, after a period of re-
Election replied very slowly and with
all the gravity of Judge:
Pounds, shiliings and pence is the
simpler system, for don't you know
that when you are told the price of a
thing in dollars and cents you always
have to convert it into pounds, shil-
lngs and pence"
There was little objection to this
theory, but in general it was perfectly
satisfactory so long as the voyage
lasted.
