In CHANCERY COURT
]. L. Gates, Who Bought Land and Ex.
pected to Receive a Valuable
Patent, Loses Case.

Judge James D. Shaver held an ad-
journed session of Chancery court in
Mena Monday and Tuesday, handling
number of cases in equity. The
N. M. Roach VS.. G. L. Rector ct al
case, which was submitted several
months ago. was passed upon.
In the Circuit court Rector was given
judgment against Roach for ST ,098. 90,
including interest. In passing on the
case the Supreme court held that
Roach had right to credit for pay
ments made on the stock of goods
which was the basis Of the judgment.
In the suit to establish this before
Chancellor Shaver. which was passed
upon today, credits were given Roach
in the sum of $4, ,295.56, reducing the
original judgment to 50, 1924.
A default decree was given in favor
of Andrew Carson on a cross COM
plant in the suit brought against him
by j. G. Gates.
1t was claimed by Gates that Carson
sold a three-room box house and five
acres of ground situated near the
south end of the Kansas City South
ern switchyards and a claimed secret
process of making brick on which Car
son was to secure patent and deed
to Gates for $4,000. The patent was
not secured and Gates claimed the
process proved not to be newly dis
covered secret and brought this action
in Chancery court to have the deal set
aside. He had paid $500 cash and
given his note for 81 800 and asked to
have this cancelled on the grounds Of
| fraud.
Carson claimed that he had agreed
and did deed to Gates the property
and his right and interest in patent
applied for process of making brick
Owing to the death Of M. S. Scher-
merhorn whom Gates relied on as his
principal witness. he did not appear
in court to contest the case and de-
cree was given against him and the
property ordered sold under the mort

tary and assistant secretary of the
Congress especially complimented
the display made by the Kansas

ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY
Two Young Boys Are Charged With
Burglarizing Goss' Confectioa-
cry Store.

Carl Anderson. son of r. |. Ander-
son. and Earl Hughes. son of w. H.
Hughes, the blacksmith, were arrest
ed Tuesday for breaking into and
robbing J. b. Goss confectionery and
fruit store on South Mena street. The
boys were caught by Chief Of Police
Mcmillan. He took them before JUS
tice of the Peace Sam Smith who, af-
ter hearing the charge against the
boys, bound them over to await the
action of the grand jury at the next
term. The boys fathers promised
that they would see that the boys
were on hand when wanted and
no bond was required for their release.
Both of the boys admitted that they
had stolen the goods. but none of them
have yet been recovered. Another
boy is wanted for taking part in the
robbery, but he has not been seen
and the police do not know where he
is.
The same night that the confection-
cry store was robbed, pair Of gloves
was taken from window Of Marcus
Nichols store and it is thought that
the boys hid something to do with
that also.

STRANGE ANIMAL

Fancies Young Pork as

Cove, Nov. %, Every autumn for
five or six years past, some large
animal has made its appearance in
the Cove community, and many con-
lectures have been made as to what
it really is. Some think it is a pan.
ther, some mountain lion, others a
large wolf. and 80 on. Whatever it
is, the animal is described as being
about six feet in length and over
three feet high. 1t makes a track
like panther, but shifts like a bear,
and appears to have a special fond
ness for pigs and shoats.
James Parker. the well known
blacksmith, who lives about three
miles southwest of town. was the
last person to see the What is II"
and he got shot at it. Last Sat
urday night Mr.. Parker heard a
terrible racket among his hogs, and
thinking dog was proving ABOUT
he got his gun, target rifle, and
cautiously stepped out on the porch.
When he got out he heard some
thing shifting around the house and,
stepping to the edge of the porch,
he came upon an animal which he
declares was almost as large as a
yearling calf. Aiming his gun he
fired. and as he did so the animal
sprang high in the air and darted
away. Its tracks showed plainly in
the dust next morning, and Mr..
Parker says they resemble those of
a panther, although he does not
think it was a panther he saw. So
the great "Whatisit" remains as
much of mystery as ever.

President Is Examining in Detail All
Estimates for Appropriation Need

Washington, Nov. 30-President
Taft informed his cabinet officers, af-
ter scrutinizing the final draft of the
estimates of the various government
departments for the fiscal year begin
ming July /, 1911, that there must be
a further and deeper cut in them;
that they would not do in their pres
ent form.
In response to the urgent demands
Of the president, the heads of the
various departments already had held
their estimates down to what they
considered rock bottom figures. The
president. however. pointed out a
number of places where he declared
the pruning knife could be used to
advantage.
The president went into details of
each department. He inaugurated last
year the policy of giving personal at
tention to the estimated expenditure
of the government, declaring that the
best way to wipe out the deficiency in
the treasury was to reduce the outgo
of public funds.
In order that he might take up de-
partmental estimates the president
ordered a postponement of the regu-
lar cabinet session, when he hopes
to be able to submit the major por-
tion of his message for consideration.
Representative Alexander of New
York. chairman of the house commit
tee on rivers and harbors, and Gen
eral Bixby, chief of engineers of the

the conference, which was of several
hours duration.
At the conclusion of the conference
Mr.. Alexander announced that the
rivers and harbors bill to be report

and authorizations. Mr.. Alexander

GIVES FOUR REASONS
n. II. LEWIS FINDS THAT Busi.
NESS IN THIS COUNTRY
IS EAD.
LACK or CONFIDENCE UP AGAIN
Is Closely Related to 5000 Business
concerns-National Irritation, Spec
ulation and EaternaI Dissension
Given as Other Causes.

New York, Nov. ga careful
study of business conditions through
out the country today, issued through
the intimate relation of the officers
of the National Association OF Manu-
facturers, with the 5000 concerns in.
cluded in its membership, has pro
duced the conclusion by Henry Harri-
son Lewis, the editor of American In-
dustries, that business is not good to.
day and that the reasons for 1t are
four in number:
National irritation, speculation, in
ternational dissension and lack of
confidence.
Mr.. Lewis article In the current
number of his magazine is perhaps as
thorough study of the subject of
business conditions as has ever been
made. The writer enjoyed singular
advantages for getting at the facts,
as the membership of the association,
OF which his magazine is the organ,
include the leading firms In every
branch OF American industry.
To-day business is not good; 1t Is
only fair, and the country is not pres.
porous. 1t Is only doing as we'll as
circumstances permit said Mr.
Lewis. There is no calamity pend
ing. no panic in sight, nothing SO
menacing that people need become
unduly alarmed, but conditions are
unsatisfactory and they can and
should be improved.
Taking up the first cause to which
he attributes the fact that business is
not good, Mr.. Lewis said:
National irritation, which has af-
fected all business alike, arises from
an undue, unnecessary and harmful
political agitation. In other words
business has been harassed. both
cred and distracted by political agita
tors who, to further personal ambi
ton or for other reasons, have kept
the country III c turmoil FOR month 8
Another cause for this national ir
rition which has worked such com
mercial unrest and injury is the fail
ure of men OF affairs and national
leaders to remove the tariff from po
itical influence and control There il
absolutely no doubt that one of the
potent causes OF business agitation
and the continual uncertainty In this
country is the tariff problem. The re
cent election proved 1t, and every day
adds strength to the statement"
OF the Ills OF speculation, MIR
Lewis says that he does not mean
stock speculation alone. To an even
greater extent he says the country
sufferes from business speculation oil
gambling on future demand. Contin
uing, Mr.. Lewis writes:
international differences or dis
sensions between industries is the
third i'll. as indicated by the associa
tons reports.
"The most important phase of this
classification. by far, is the railway
rates problem. Speedy and equitable
settlement of this question is re-
garded by business men generally rs
absolutely necessary for the restora.
tion of trade confidence and prosper.
lty. There is absolutely no doubt
that failure to adjust the question OF
rates is rapidly paralyzing a wide va.
riety of industries"
