News OF OLD TOWN

Herman j. Cone, of Billings, Mont,
was arrested in Standpoint last week on
a charge of passing worthless checks on
James Dougherty, of this place. Checks
were cashed by Dougherty to the amount
of $45. The bank at Billings returned
them unhonored, as Cone had no money
on deposit with them. Cone was given
a hearing before Probate Judge Bande-
lin and was bound over to the district
court in bonds of $1,000, which he failed
to produce.
Earlier in the month Cone had war
rant issued for the arrest of woman
named Bartels, who, he claimed, had
stolen $125 worth of clothing and jewelry
from him. The officers failed to locate
the woman. Deputy Sheriff VIM. Hutch
inson located Cone in Standpoint and
made the arrest.
James L. Wilcox and wife left last
week for short visit with relatives and
friends in the vicinity of Billings, Mont

sets Breaks All Records.
Automobiles to the value of more
than $4O,O0O,O00 have been register
ed in Massachusetts since the last
of January, says a Worcester dis
patch. That beats all records for this
state The six-month record is
larger than the registration of the
whole of last year. The number OF
new machines in the state this year
is more than 10000, and it is gain
ing rapidly. Some buyers of weeks
ago are still waiting for the motors
to be delivered. Those who have re-
ceiYed them have paid the state fees
for registration to the amount of $21,-
913. One of the highway commits
sioners say that the registrations are
coming in at the rate of Sc a day
but he does not know how long that
will last. He is sure that it will
make the spring estimate of 10000
for the year look small, and that
the estimate at the same time that
the state would take in 100000 for
registration fees this year should
have been doubled.
Clerks of the highway department
have been working nights to keep up
with the demands for permits to run
automobiles through the state over
the highways. There was never a
time when the people went so fast,
so far, and so easy, and the troubles
of the practice are decreasing as men
come to a better understanding of
what the motor wagons are good for.

CAT BURIED WITH HONOR.
More Than 1000 Persons at Funeral
of Famous PhiladeIphia MOuser.


Edward L. Cooper, widely known
and respected in the neighborhood of
his home, at 81 North Tenth street,
! both for his vocal powers and his
Irat-catching abilities, died after be-
ing severely mauled by a stray bull
terrier. He was buried from the un-
dertaking establishment of William
P. Almond, says a Philadelphia dis

This venerable tomcat-he was 10

selected it, Mr.. Edward L. Cooper
having been regularly embalmed.
More than 1000 persons filed into
the establishment of the undertaken

customary 'all who desire to view
the remains pass this way from the
undertaken the casket was placed in
chestnut case with a silver name
plate and was carried to a carriage.
The flowers were heaped on top of
the casket.
Mrs. Cooper, in deep mourning,
with several friends, occupied a sec

proceeded to Darby, where the cat
was buried on a farm. The inter
ment was private.

LAST OF VOLCANIC MOUNTAIN
Lake of Boiling Water Took Its Place
After Earthquake Shock.

Several years ago a great earth
quake in the far north produced in
active volcano in a mountain on a
little island of the Aleutian group.
Now the volcanic mountain has sunk
out of sight, and in it's place is a
lake of boiling water, says a San
Francisco dispatch The earthquake
that produced the sensational change
occurred June 21st. The result of
the strange submarine commot,on
was discovered by the crew of the
United States revenue cutter Perry
of the patrol fleet guarding the seal
rOOkeries.
AS the Perry steamed near to in
vestigate it was noticed that the wa
ter around the vessel took on an un-
usual hue. From dark green it
changed to dull gray and then to
milky white. Steam came from the
water as the cutter came on, and the
atmosphere was so charged with heat
that it became unbearable.
The Pearry approached as near as
possible, and the crew saw stretched
before them a lake which had
formed in the center of a sink made
by the settling mountain. To de-
termine the temperature of the wa
ter thermometer was lowered over,
and those on board were startled to
see the record rise to 240 degrees.
A number of eggs were then lowered
in a basket, and after being in the
water a few seconds were found thor
Oughly cooked.

DOES NOT THINK THE TREASURY SO FAT

mittee of the house will aid material
ly in improving the financial condi-
ton of the state, and prevent the
entangled and embarrassing condi-
lions resulting from excessive legis-
lative appropriations"
Only last week Chairman Reed of
the house appropriations committee
showed that last year there was an
excess of expenditures over receipts
and this year additional appropria-
tions to be met as follows:
A Few Figures.
Excess of appropriations
Tor 1913 ........... SlSO,OUO
Increased appropriations al
ready made for 1907. 100000
Total increase ... $3.50, 900
He called attention also to the
benefits the old administration de-
rived from back tax collection and
concluded with the warning that the
ways and means committee must ar
range to take care of nearly half
million of obligations, in addition to
those made by the present legisla-
ture.
The public is familiar with the re-
port submitted to Governor Brown
on July LIST. by J. Pope Brown, the
new state treasurer, on the condition
of the treasury at that time. Briefly
it was as follows:
Money available for gem
eral purposes ....... Sal ,726.25
Estimated receipts for the
next quarter ....... 100000
Estimated disbursements
for the next quarter 550,000.0O
This report did not, of course, in
clude the near beer fund, amount
ing to $227395.24, as an immediate
asset. 1t will probably be made such
at an early date.

Berman has lived here more than

Minds Made Up.

1t is a fact that many OF the mem
bers of the investigating committee
have already expressed emphatic
opinions on the matters that have
not yet been brought officially before
them, and some of them have gone
so far as to declare that their minds
are made up beyond possibility of
change. That this is true is shown
in the manner in which the questions
are put to the witnesses. Almost
without exception questions are put
by the various members of the com
mittee from the standpoint of law
yers for their respective sides. There
is apparently no effort made to pre-
serve the attitude of judge or jury
in the conduct of the investigation.

People who know the family we'll will
tell you that MIR. Johnson is exactly

there is bear of this kind at home
there is little hope that many of that
family will escape, and they will go a
