IN CUSTODY ON NINE COUNTS OF
 HORSE STEALING

New Haven. Aug. 31-Wanted on nine counts of hore stealing, one of which comes from this city, Clifford Durant. alias George W. Gates. alias Alfred G. Riley, of Gilson, N. H., was brought into headquarters yesterday afternoon by Detective Sergeant Henry Donnelly, from White Plains, N. Y. The local complaint against Durant was registered by John /Kenney, the Chapel street liveryman, who reported the loss of handsome rig from his stable on Aug. 8.
 Durant Is also wanted in West Mou- land, N. H.. for escaping from the County Farm there, to which he had been sentenced for year for forgery. After escaping from the farm Durant hired a horse and buggy in White River Junction, Vt. This he exchang- ed for another in Bellows Falls, Vt, and so on down through Massachu- setts, until he was finally corralled in Rye, N. r., on information furnished by the local detective bureau. He is wanted on charges of horse stealing in Winchendon, Watertown and Springfield, in Massachusetts. in White River Junction and Bellows Falls, Vt. in Thompsonvifle, Nek Haven and No- rotor, Conn.,. and in Rochester. New York
 Dmant hired a team from Mr. Ken ney on Monday morning, Aug. 8, de- claring that he wanted to visit friend a few miles down tn cline. He left another rig as security for the one he had been loaned MT. Kenney notic- ing that Durant had failed to put in an appearance by the following day, complained to the local detective bu reau. Cards sent out by the local de- partment reached the Rye police just in time so that when Durant attempt ed to make another swap there. he was caught easily.
 Durant Is a smooth talking young ster, although he claims to be only IS years old. He claims Keene, N. H., as his birthplace.
 Durant has quite long term in the various pen1tentiaries about the coun- try staring him in the face. The max imum penalty for horse stealing is ten years, while the minimum is such as is warranted by the facts in the case

Only the other day, a Wall street authority called attention to the pos sibility of heavy gold exports to meet an unfavorab1e balance of trade, unless the prices of commodities should decline to figures inviting for eign purchases. Gold exportation, if large might bring on money stringen- cy, especially when the demand for cash ito move the crops sets in.
 On Monday, August cotton sold at 90 cents a pound in New York, the Mshest figure reached since the Civil War. There is no such decrease in production as would warrant so high a price. Speculation Is the cause, and its natural effect is to prevent cotton exportation and to close American cotton mills. The former may bring on gold exportation and with 1t money stringency: the lat ter will throw thousands of mill op- eratives out of employment. In ad- dition, the prices of cotton goods to consumers will advance
 All this for the benefit of . few manipulators of the cotton market. dt is heavy price which the country must pay for their profit. Should there not be devised some method of checking such gambling?

HAWLEYSOPPONENT IS A CLAIM AGENT
 OF NEW HAVEN ROAD
Hence the Republicans of Red ding do Not Take Kindly to
 Bailey's Candidacy
Democrats in Caucus Select Dele gates to Various Conventions Three Delegates Favor Bald win
Special to The \FarmerA

Special to The \Farmer)
 Bedding, Aug. 31.-The Democratic caucus. held last Saturday evening. elected delegates to the various con ventions as follows: State, Michael Connery, R. J. Beecher, P. Marvin Stocking, Lloyd Blackman, Congres- sional, J. L. B1ackman, R. H. Rider, Harry A. Iounsbury, James Connery, County, Charles Sanford, Edward M. Bradley J. M. Sullivan; Senatorial Thomas D. Flood, Charles Clans, E. F. Sanford, Frank J. Rider. The eau GUS failed to name a fourth delegate to the county convention through a misunderstanding as to the number to which the town is entitled.
 A resolution instructing the State delegation to support plank in the platform for an effective Public Util- ities bill was unanimously carried. There was also offered a motion in structing the delegation to support Judge Baldwin for the gubernatorial nomination but MT. Connery opposed 1t and it was not pressed to vote. It is understood that MT. Connery favors the candidacy of Mayor Dunn of Willimantic The other three del egates are understood to favor Judge Baldwin.
 To the other complications in the To- cal Republican ranks has been added that arising from the birth of a Good win sentiment of which there was un- til recently no sign or, semblance and which bears indications of being a hot house or artificial product. Its apostle is William E. Hazen of Georgetown. Here as elsewhere is the county the Goodwin sentiment means an anti-Hawley sentiment, but neith- CT, is expected to cut much of fig ure at the Republican caucus next Saturday evening.
 Hawleys local supporters aver that w. P. Bailey, his opponent, cannot hope to carry. at the outside, more than Bethel, the Norwalks, New Fair field and Sherman. They also say that Goodwin as the representative of the railroad interests and the opposi- ton to a Public Utilities bill as a fitting ally in Bailey who is a claim agent for the Consolidated road.
 Not so very long ago Bailey was seeking support for the Shrievalty nomination among Sheriff Hawley's henchmen with the express proviso, however, that he should not be con- sidered a candidate except in the pos sible event of Hawley's withdrawal previous to any action by the county convention. Upon this condition he received some pledges of support, a support he will not now receive un- der any circumstances.
 It has been surmised by some that Bailey's new attitude as an opponent of Hawley might have been due in some degvee to the instigation of Con- gressman Hill. The Hawley element, however. do not make this charge. They say that Hill promised not to antagonize the sheriff in the present campaign and as far as appears is keeping his word.

 Loot in CesspooL
 At Westport Saturday afternoon, while a workman on some property near the Arnold Schleat place was inspecting, an old cesspool on the premises he came across the silver ware that was stolen over a month ago from the Schleat residence. Safe ly imbedded in the pool slightly cov- cred with some leaves and rubbish, reposed the silverware estimated to be worth over a thousand dollars.

 Killed by Train.
 At Norwalk, Saturday evening, when Mrs. Elizabeth Sniff1n, wife of W. Oscar Sniffin, was struck and in- stantly killed by the Pfttsfield train. due in Norwalk at 7:24. MT. Sniffin was walking along the railroad tracks in company with his wife and he was rushing locomotive, and narrowly es- caped a similar fate to that of his wife Mrs. Sniffin is said to have been slightly demented, and furthermore she has just had a legacy left her. Mr. Sniff1n states that the first he saw of the train was when it was but a few feet away and coming at a fast rate of speed. He states that he tried to push his wife from the path of the engine and at the same time leaped to one side. He just cleared the en- zine, but his wife was struck full in the face by the front of the mon- strous iron machine.

DRHCTlPR01AR
 FOR REPUBLICANS.

The direct primary system Is work ing rapid progress throughout the country, except in the East, and even Tn this extremely conservative section 1t. has strong advocates. In New Roosevelt favor it. asi In this city, one Republican element wh1oh is both strong and influential, urges it's radoption, Direct primaries are in close harmony with the policy of the Progressives, and thus with the underlying spirit of the times which may be accurately described as anti machine. In fact, the local move ment for, direct primaries is evidently aimed at machine rule and intended to abate it by lessening the prevalent lethargy which is. ever the result of machine dictation.
 The local plan provides for advance no4ise. of candidates through nomina- ton papers. signed by 25 enrolled vot- srs as to all town and city offices except Aldermen, and by as to the latter, these papers to De filed with the Town committee and to be, pub 1ished. Ballots, somewhat ons the Australian plan, are to be furnished by the Town committee, which is to count the votes, and decide all con- tests, it's decisions to be final.
 Under this plan, harmony dinners, secret conclaves of managers and dele gates and the usual subterranean moves of the machine to usurp the votags' right of tic1et-construction would, in legal phrase, "cease and de- teunine," and the voters could regain, if they so desire, the privilege of nam ing candidates. Needless to say, the peoples interests would be promoted, and the corporations.swould experience difficulty in putting their teels s-into office.
 The plan does not cover the choice of delegates to State, Congressional, county, probate, representative and Justice of the peace conventions. This omission is not readily intelligible.
 It places in the hands of the town committee the power of deciding con- tests, and this power may at times be abused, but the penalty would be loss of strength by the candidates unduly favored
 Of course, the machine wifi Night the plan, and kill it if possible. Should it be rejected, the voters can pasily surmise the cause and reach khe guilty agency in it's tender point, ks prearranged ticket.

BUSY BEAVERS
return TO STATE

jamestown, N. D., July 8.-The
beavers are coming back to North Da-
kota. Old timers tell us that the en-
ergetic animals were numerous along
the Mouse and Des Laos river in the
early days, but left when the dry
weather came. They have returned
in large numbers this year. There
are eight beaver dams along Des
Laos river between Burlington and
Carpio. The bevers are telling the
trees along the banks at rapid rate,
often cutting down trees that are as
large in diameter as stove pipe.
Old timers say that the large number
o. beaver dams is sure sign of dry
weather. The animals always take
precautions to hold back the water
when it is needed, and their instinct
seldom fails them.

Northwestern live
STOCK SHOW TO Be
BEST EVER IN 1910

St. Paul, July S.-For the farmer
or stock grower who shows the grand
champion steer or heifer at the North
western live stock show, to be held
at the Union stock yards at South
St. Paul, November Is to 18, series
of premiums are offered which aggre-
gate $445.OO. To win this SUN the
animal must take first premium in
half dozen classes in which it may
be entered and must stand the in
spection of some of the most critical
judges in the entire northwest. There
are special premiums offered, worthy
of competition.
This live stock show will differ
from those usually seen at county
fairs or at meetings of live stock as
sociations in that it will be for market
type of animals only and carries no
classes or premiums for breeding
stock. 1t is the animal which offers
the most tempting cut of porterhouse,
the most juicy roast, the most invit-
ing loin, that will receive attention.
One of the objects of the exhibition
is to draw the growers of market cat
tie together where they may exchange
ideas, discuss the values of feed, the
relative merits of the various breeds
Of market cattle and tell each other
things which will be of inestimable
value in the years to come.
The cattle division will contain two
general classes, one for pure breds
and one for grades and cross-breds.
The single entries of steers and
spayed heifers will be grouped accord
ing to ages. All animals under one
year of age will be shown in one lot.
Those under two years and over one
will be shown in another lot, while
those two years and under three will
comprise still another lot. For each
there will be six prizes, ranging from
$500 down to $500 and the champ
pion of the lots will be awarded
$500. The champions of the two
classes will be shown in competition

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

bankers who strenuOusly opposed
ings banks and most of them did
so-nOw seem likely to find that
without foundation, and that the de-
pArturc will turn out to be of benefit
to the banks and will increase their
business instead of curtaiIing it, says
the Kansas City Star.
The postal savings banks probably
will attract many millions Of dollars
out of boards where it does no good,
and by this means j. will get into
use, and soon or late 20 into the
banks TO increase their deposits and
their reserves. 1t would not be sur
prising if several hundred million dol
lars in cash we're thus drawn out of
hiding places and put to use in the
business of the country.
In another way far-sighted fnan-
cicrs think they see a way to make
use of the postal savings banks. These
banks will furnish a possible means
of taking care of the government
bonds which now constitute secur-
jty for national bank notes. Some
students of the currency believe the
time is not far distant when d central
bank will be created, with power to
issue bank notes to any bank which
puts up he necessary collateral for
! security, and that this system will
suppant the present method of issu-
! ing bank notes based on government
! bonds. If this occurs, the banks will
have no use for their government
bonds and they will have to be sold
at IL discount unless the postal saw
: ings bank fund grows large enough
by that time to take care of the
bonds.
There is still another way in which

Sultan of Sulu, who is credited with
wanting to mrary Alice Roosevelt is
on his way to the United States, ac-
companied by a body guard of nine
teen servants. incidentally the sui
tan has $25O,O00 in pearls to adorn
his person. The sultan left Manila
two weeks ago and after brief visit
in England will head direct for New
York and promises to make tour Of

claims descent from that valiant Dyak
Borneo chief Pagulan Tindig. who
early in the sixteenth century con-
quered the Sulu archipelago, founded
the sultanate and opened the way
for the introduction therein of the
religion of the great prophet. This
sultanate, politically regarded as an
integral part of the Philippines. cane
into the possession of the United
States as the result of the Spanish
American war. Under the old regime
the group of about 40 islands consti-
tuted a vassal domain in the suzerain-
ty of the king of Spain. The authority
Of the sultan is nominal, but the de-
votion of his subjects is unqualified.
In material sense he is wanting
nothing. He receives an annual in
come from the British North Borneo
company in lieu>of his sovereign rights
in Brunei and owns a fine collection
of pearls. He is short and thick set.
He wears a slight black mustache,
and his hair is closely cropped. His
eyes are small. His attire is pictur-
esque. He can be extremely affable,
particularly when the subject of his
diminishing power is avoided.
