called Lousy Level lay to the left OF
the road and that his comrades would
be encamped IN the right Of 1t. Where
the road was he had but little idea. He
wanted to know where Lousy Level
was in order that he might go In the
other direction.
Toward midnight he came to a farm
house, and with that one bit OF tnfor-
mattsn as a pretext he dared to arouse

that locality. In reply to e question.

Controlled NEWSPAPERS.

The Atchison Globe says that no ad-
vertiser has eve tried to control its ed
itorial policy, the remark being occa-
stoned by the charge often made nova
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience of the Globe is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal of adj
Vertising is more interested in the cir
culation department of a newspaper
than in the editorial department. If a
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and is read by them, he is salts
fed, and it may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
of his own, and he isn't trying to shout
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and a good many of them, more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic oflceseekers, whose
first concern is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice of
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu-
ally is controlled by it's owner, and he
is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts Of
times; there r people who consider
it his duty to insult his advertisers,
just to show that he is free and indie
pendent. If he shows a decent respect
for his patrons, who pay him their
money, and make it possible for him to
carry on the business, he is "subsi-
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is a business man, like the dry
| goods man or the grocer. The mer-
chants are expected to have considera-
ton for their customers, and they are
| not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them, but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. 1t is a funny COM
bination when you think 1t over

The Presidents Pay.
From the Washington Star.

rIOI1 ~ w ~ VA SNNN
President Roosevelt gets his alary
the last day OF each month. 1t is taken
to the White House by a messenger
from the ~treasurer's office in the shape
of a check, and handed over to the
official who has been directed to look
after 1t.
The presidents salary Of $50, 900 a
year is divided into eight checks Of $4.-
1851 each and four checks Of a.
1861 Sc each. Two months out OF every
three the president gets q check for
the larger sum and the other month
he gets 1 cent less on his check. This
has been the custom for many years
and q mistake was nev made but
once. That was during the second ad-
m~inistration Of President Cleveland.
One month when his check should have
been S4,166.6 81, the bookkesper made Il
out for only S4,166.66. When the books
were balanced at the end Of the fiscal
year 1t was found hat the president
was due ! cent by the government. The
officials with great solemnity, made out
a check on the United States treasurer
for this amount and forwarded it to
Mr.. Cleveland. Because It was the
smallest sum a warrant was ever
drawn for Upon the government II was
kept as a souvenir and vas never pre-
sented. II the ex-president desires to
do SO at any time 1t will be promptly
cashed.
President Roosevelt's checks are
taken to the White House by the same
messenger each time. His name is VII
liam r. Padgett, and he lis employed In
the ~treasurer's office. He was for a
long time a sergeant IN Battery A.
Fourth United States artillery, and
served In the army at different points.
He served In he marine corps prior to
enlisting in the army and went over
the world. His service to the govern
ment was honest and faithful through
out and his record when he gave up his
uniform was good. He delights In go

MEXICAN TROOPS DEFEATED.

Ell PASO, December 17.-Advices
from Chihuahua bring the unexpected
news that the regular Mexican troops
and rurales have been defeated in u
fercely fought battle near La Junta
in that State.
While the details are meager, it is
asserted that the fighting continued
for hours, but the revolutionists fl
nally forced the government troops
into such position that $50 of them
were forced to surrender.
This is the first time that such Il
defeat has met the partisans of Pre-
sident Diaz, and the reyolutionists
here are elated and assert that this
victory will mean a great deal for
their cause.

BUSINESS As SEEN
FROM OTHER SIDE

BOSTON, November 26.-From the
world has been moving along lately,
ignoring various developments politi-
cal and otherwise, it is apparent thai
the industrial and commercial struc-
ture rests upon sound foundation.
Considerable irregularity still prevails,
but the trend is distinctly toward i'm
provement. Certain pending matters
affecting some of the larger corpora
tions have been referred to as pos
sible q sturbing element but the inn
preston is growing that these will
have little if any effect upon trade
as a whole.
There is no great activity displayed
anywhere such as has been witnessed
in what are known as boom" years,
but the steadiness of business is a
characteristic that the conservative in
terests are pleased to note. Some i'm
patience has been expressed that
greater things are not being done in
the iron and steel markets, and it is
true that this branch of industry has
experienced a sharp decline in the
volume of new orders booked. But
even the iron and steel business is
now beginning to improve in marked
degree. Some good-sized equipment
hty
the railroads this week, and others
are expected to be booked in a few
days. These orders will contribute
materially to the business of the steel
mills during the winter months.
A condition most desired at present
by the railways, aside from the re-
quested advance in freight rates, is
better bond market Much new financ-
ing has been postponed during the
past year or two because the demand
for bonds has been below normal, and
interest rates demanded by investors
are higher than the railways are will
ing to pay. New construction cannot
be undertaken PROBABLY under such
conditions, and as a result the year
has witnessed a comparatively small
amount of new railway building. 9th
er new undertakings of Importance
have been held in allegiance for the
same reason. However, there is much
refunding to be done, and within the
next few months many corporations
will be obliged to enter the bond mar
ket, even at higher interest rates.
There is a remedy in prospect for this
unfavorable situation in the securities
markets. Higher interest rates have
been demanded because of the higher
cost of living. Commodity prices are
now declining perceptibly. The con-
sumner has not yet felt the benefit of
lower prices because the retailer has
not seen fit to sell his goods at lower
figures; but the time is not distant
when competition will force down the
retail prices. 1t naturally follows that
more money will be available for liv-
ing purposes and a wider margin will
remain for investment. There is a
prospect, consequently, of greater de-
mand for bonds, with better terms OBJ
talning as result
