FRICTION REPORTED IN
 ROCK ISLAND co. INTERESTS.
Rumors That Very Serious Difficulties Have Broken Out Promptly Denied.

New York, Jan. 5.-Reports of fric- tion among the leading interests in the Rock Island company, rumors that Daniel c. Reid was to go abroad and that he would retire from the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, caused a break of seven and one-quarter points in the common stock of the road today and a decline of more than three points in the pre- ferred stock
 The financial district has heard a great deal anent Rock Island since the sensational movement in the stock a fortnight ago, when it jumped from 50 to S1 and back again almost in a flash, and the matter Is now the subject of investigation by the stock exchange authorities. More recent operations in that and allied securities have not served to allay the alarm then created
 Today's ruInors had it that very se- riouS difficulties had broken out be- tween those who control the property and an open breach was hinted at These were denied in responsible quar- ters, but the enormous volume of Rock Island stock traded in-230,000 shares, at steadily decreasing values-caused many misgivings, the more so because much of the selling seemed to emanate from the Rock Island brokers An other factor was the failure of the directors to act on the preferred stock This stock has paid no dividends in several years.
 Reports that MT. Reid, one of the most prominent of the Rock Island group. contemplated an early departure for Europe were denied at his office, but no other details concerning MT. Reid's plans were vouchsafed.

HOME FOR ADULTS
Planned by Danbury Woman, Who Puts Nucleus of Fund in Bank.

For the purpose of starting an en- dowment fund for Home for Adults Mrs. Amelia es-Brewster has opened an account at the Savings Bank of Danbury.
 Mrs Brewster expects this fund will reach an amount to make possible the assistance needed to those who in ma turing years cannot be well cared for elsewhere.
 The Children's Home was placed on 9 substantial basis by the interest and personal efforts of Mrs. Brewsters mother. the late Mrs. Sarah w. Ives, and the quiet but excellent work car ried on there has been made possible by her exertions. The influence on the children committed to it's care is far reaching. The home life of the limited circle of children, their tuition and as sociation with other children in the public schools is especially helpful.
 It is thought that it may be practi- cable with the creation Of a sufficient fund, to broaden the work under one organization and mana cement, thus combining a Children's Home and a Home for Adults.-Danhury News.

Shortage of Water.

That the rainfall machinery needs more local doctoring is shown by the rainfall statistics compiled by the American Paper and Pulp association, which indicates that in all the east ern part of the country from the Mis- sippi to the Atlantic and from the Great lakes to Tennessee, the shortage in the past year has been extraordi- nary and in the past decade consider able. During II months of 1903 the rainfall in the section named aver aged 33.77 inches. If the average for December. 3.39. be added there is Q total for the year of 3716 inches, which is the lowest in that section since 1898, and more than seven inches under the normal of about A 1-2 inch es. But the rainfall in December, 1862, is undoubtedly far below the average, so the shortage for the year is even greater than that indicated. The rain. fall statistics for this large eastern section during the past decade follow to some extent those shown locally but of course there is considera ole variation. The drouth of the pa st year. however. has been general in the east.-Springfe Republican.

INSURGENTS" OUT IN INTERVIEWS
Some of Them Heartily Agree with the Presidents Pro-
 qramme Outlined tuesday

Washington, Jan 5.-;Whiie no for mai statement was forthcoming at the White House today, there was no att tempt in administration circles to deny that President Taft is withholding cer- tain customary congressional patron age from those 'insurgent' senators and representatives who, the adherents of the president say, show no d1spoSi- tfon to support administration meas ures.
 President Taft is reported as taking the attitude that if an obligation rests upon him to give certain patronage to a representative of his party, there is a reciprocal obligation upon the repre- sentative to support the president.
 A number of the so-called "inSur- gents" were out in interviews today saying that they heartily agreed with the presidents legislative programme and instead of using the whip on them he should use it on the leaders who in the past opposed the Roosevelt policies which MT. Taft is seeking to have enacted.
 On the part of the president. it was patronage does not apply to all of the 'tinsurgents'' and has absolutely noth- ing to do with their fight against Speaker Cannon or the house rules
 Victor Rosewater, republican na- tional committeeman from Nebraska, one of the 4insurgent" states, saw President Taft today and in an au- thorized interview said:
 ''The president said to me that he wanted me to help correct the reports that are being circulated to the effect that he is using the patronage club to whip so-called insurgents into line. The president says that there is a well

The Middle Class Restless.

It is learned that in Paris there ex- ists an Association for the Defence of the Middle Class. The association met, had banquet and freed it's mind. M. Emile Loubet, a former president of the republic, was the principal speaker and he expressed the senSi- ments of the association boldly net recklessly. He predicted that tife tine would come when the middle cass would burst it's sandwich bonds and make trouble for the upper and neither classes. What with capitalistic nn- croachments on the one hand and fba insistence of socialistic elements on the other, the great middle class has all ready endured too much without pro- test. The delegates applauded M. Loubet's heroics They indicated a readiness to follow a daring leader in a new kind of French revolution. While no plans for a campaign were then and there drawn up, the spirit of the bourgeoisie was fired to do sJne- thing Some day Paris may be as founded by a demonstration in sCr'k- ing contrast to that of the red flag or the man on horse back. Thaat will hap pen, perhaps, on or about the date that the Ultimate Consumer in our own country rises in his wrath and hits a head where he sees it.-Providence Journal.

founded custom that has become all most a rule that in making certain ap- pointmentS, such as postmaSters, the president should act on recommends tion of the members of congress in whose districts the appointments lie, f represented by a member of the same political party. This obligation resting cal. he feels. The republican congress man, he declares, is under a similar obligation to support administration measures recommended by the pres1- dent to carry out platform pledges on which both were elected. The presl- dent says he has not turned down rec concentrations of insurgent' congress- status quo to impress them of their obligation"
 Most of the insurgents have frank ly told the president that they would support him in his legislative pro gramme which has already been pretty definitely outlined. They declare them selves to be republicans, first and last and say they will support measures framed to carry out the party plot form.
 There are still a few of the "insur- gents" however who seem disposed 10 carry on an absolutely independent attitude and who are generally against everything that the leaders of the par ty are for. To make their position stronger they are said to be willing to ally themselves with the democrats It is against these so-called ''recalcit- rants' that the o-patronage order has been issued, and so far as President Taft is concerned it will stand until the members see fit to subscribe to the principles of the party's legislative programme.

SENSATIONAL BREAK
 IN THE COTTON MARKET
Runors That Cotton Interest is Un- oading-CIique Formed to Depress Prices.


 New York. Jan. 5.-There was sen- sational break in the cotton market late today, with May deliveries selling off to 15.6O or 57 points lower than last night, 64 points below the best level of the day, and S6 points, or $4-30. per bale below the high level of the sea- son.
 The weakness in the stock market probably contributed to the Wall street selling, but selling orders came from all directions, and it looked as though there was a regular panic among longs following the record breaking advances of late last year.
 It was rumored that the cotton in terest was unloading and it was also reported that a strong Wall street clique had been formed to depress prices owing to the failure of trade demand to improve as rapidly as ex- pected with the turn of the year.
 Today'S adviceS from the south were generally bullish as to the spot situa- tion, but there were rumors of in- creased offerings which probably aided in precipitating the tremendous Hqui- datiOn late in the day. The market has been more or less unsettled all the week but the sensational break of today came very suddenly with the market declining over $3 per bale in less than an hours time. The market closed weak at a net decline of 25 O 5s points, with May selling at 15-60, or al the lowest. It is estimated that the big southern bulls had bought fully 150, GOO bales in an intellectual effort to check the decline.

WATERBURY MAN GETS IT.
Coveted Auto Number, 10000, Goes to
 H. A. HoadIeY.

The much desired 10000 auto reg fstry number goes to Henry A. Hoad- ley of All Willow street, Waterbury, and a number of other autoists of Con necticut are disappointed because they were not sufficiently lucky to draw the number, says The Meriden Sun. For the past month there have been a number of applications for the num- Der, but it would not be promised to any of those who attempted to use their influence to get it. It must go to the man whose application was mum Der 10000 in order that it might be fair to all concerned.
 MT. Hoadley sent in his application for a license and as the 9,999 marker had just been given out, he was given the first marker with five numbers on 1t. MT Hoadley will have the use of this marker but for a short time, for he will then have to return it to the state and receive another new one with red background and white numbers, but he will still retain the number.

On Making a Newspaper.

Men who make newspap pers some times believe that their profession is an eNacting one. They are wrong. It is the simplest calling. Making a newspaper is an easy trick. Anybody can do it.
 A lawyer with only a diploma and a brass sign, who would lose a suit even if the other side was ready to confess judgment, will tell you how to run a newspaper. A physician who would send his patient to the morgue before the prescription has been filled will know all the fine points of making a ed any other plaudit than a soft to- mato will give instructions in handling the worlds news. An old lady who knows enough to get off a. street car backward has positive opinions on the press. Even a society person who never paid anything but a call or made anything but a visit or did anything but a tailor knows how stupid those men are who write stories" edit copy" wrestle with heads" that won't fit and get the paper out on time.
 One reason for the universality of perfection in this trade, among those who do not work at it, is that every body has been employed in it. It is most unusual thing to meet a man who, when the occasion seems ripe, will not say T used to be a newspaper man myself Every time a man works his country editor for a puff on the strength or a. DIE pumpkin ne gra du- ates in Journalism. When he writes a piece" for the Squash County Clarion about "a most enjoyable entertain ment' he completes his post graduate course in newspaper work, and when he writes a communica tion on both sides of the paper to the editor he be- comes thirty-third degree member of the Tribe of Scribe.
 That so many men have abandoned literature for the law, medicine and other easy walks of life simply shows that many men would rather fail in one thing than another.-Washing Star.

AN EMERGENCY RATE FOR
= SHIPPING SUGAR BEETS
Has Been Secured from N. P, N. &
l., G. N. and 500 for Shipping
.- Demonstration Beets. ....s

The Northern; Pacific, Great
Northern and Minnesota & Inter.
national. railways have granted an
emergency rate for the shipment of
sugar beets from Bemidji and
vicinity to the beet sugar factory at
Chaska for demonstration purposes"
says J. J. OpsahI, secretary of the
North-C Central Minnesota Shippers
association, who has been in touch
with the Bemidji Commercial club
in the effort to get such a rate, as a
forerunner of testing beets that may
be grown in this section during the
coming summer, in order to interest
capital in establishing a beet sugar
factory in Bemidji.
Secretary Opsahl stated that he
had last night received a telegam
from H. E. Still, assistant general
freight agent of N. P. railway,
stating that the N. P, M. & I. and
G. N. railways had granted the
emergency rate which had been re.
quested at meeting held in St.
Paul last week, when representa-
tives of the commercial club and
the shippers association met with
the representatives of the railway
companies.
This emergency rate will be
effective at points on the Nj. & I.
railway as far north as Littlefork,
on the Great Northern as far west as
Lengthy and east as far as Cass
Lake and south of these points to
the factory at Chaska. The rate
will enable the sugar company at
Chaska to~guarantee net price of
81 per ton for all sugar beets raised
hereabouts and shipped to the
factory, which. will mean that large
acreage will undoubtedly be raised
in the territory covered by this
emergency rate for demonstration
purposes.

the ability displayed by the band
as whole showed that the popular

The entire program was most ex-
cellently rendered. "a -.-

"Lohengrin" was a difficult Sc

thing unique, which brought into
play all of the traps and showed

the most difficult selections.

Tomorrow morning commences
the last day of Easy Profit Week.
1t means the last turn on the
three-quarter pole on to the
home stretch with a clear track
ahead. Are you among the
leaders? Or is there too much
daylight under your feet? If so,
settle into your gait and saw
wood. At ten o'clock tomorrow
night the Easy Profit Week ends,
so get into a good stride and
carry off the honors with your
colors flying. It's not too late
yet, for the chances are as good
to win today as they were on
Monday. At the same time, you
are piling up your votes for the
big prizes.
The story of the for-get-me-
not is probably familiar to every
one Of you; growing as it does
on the edges Of rocky precipices,
it is little wonder that the legend
of the flowers name seems such
a reality. Two lovers sholling
in the Alps of Switzerland along
a narrow mountain path skirting
a deep canyon, saw a pretty
delicate blue flower growing on
its very edge. The girl. i'm
pressed with the dainty beauty of
the bloom, requested her escort
to pluck it for her., and, needing
her bidding, he made haste to do
so. Just as he had accomplished
his task the heacherous ground
beneath his feet shattered,
throwing him backwards and
causing him to lose his balance,
however, as he fell, he threw
the dainty blossom to his sweet
heart, saying :"For-get-me-not."
And to this day the name remains
in memory of the one who lost
his life to gain his sweetheart's
simple wish.
To win success in this race
you must be ready, willing and
consistent as this lover was, and
success will be yours. You
must find the places where the
votes are, just as you must seek
seek the places where the for
get-me-nots grow. Then, find
ing them, you must pluck them.
You will find that votes, like
for-get-me-nots, come in bunche.
and you run onto them when you
least expect to and when you
find them you must be on the
spot Immediately, ready to gather
them in; for by tomorrow's sun
they may have vanished into the
hamper of some other Candidate.
Be like the boy who is in
swimming, when another asks
him, 'How's the water, Bilp'
All Gee! it's fine, kid, come on
in. That's the way to get votes.
Get right into the battle and
gather them up hungarily and
shout for more.
