Habits of Geese.

If sexes are equal geese pair. The
laying season usually opens in Febru-

breeders than do young geese. AS a
rule geese are free from disease. Old
geese are more reliable and lay more
eggs than do young geese. Geese
live longer than do any of our domes-
tic poultry.

KANSAN INDICTED IN new YORK
OLATHE MAN CHARGED WITH
SWINDLING FASTENERS.
Four of Edgar Jackson's Clients in
Reality Deals Said to Have
Committed Suicide.

New York.-Edgar Jackson, a
young Kansan, showing no sign of
emotion over the suicide of Mrs.
Eleanor Berry, who shot and killed
herself because of the indictment of
jackson, by whose deals she had lost
$4,000, was arraigned before Justice
Golf to stand trial on an indictment
charging him with defrauding Harry
NJ. Dingley, son of former Repre-
sentative Nelson P. Dingley of Maine,
and others out of nearly one million
dollars.
The suicide of Mrs. Berry is said
by E. B. Dennison, an attorney who
aided the district attorney in prepar-
ing the case against Jackson, to be
the fourth death due to the opera
tons of the concern known as the
Jackson Brothers Realty Company
Charles B. Clark, a Yale graduate,
killed himself in an uptown hotel on
Thanksgiving Day, 1911, after losing
$4,000 in the Jackson venture.
There was another suicide, the cir
cumstances Of which Mr.. Dennison
cannot recall, and a Boston school
teacher died when she found that
$4,000 she had Entrusted to Jackson
had been lost.
Jackson was indicted on a charge
of inducing Mrs. Mary Griffith of Ak
ron, Ohio, to invest $4,000 with him.
It was all the money she had. The
security he gave was property to
which he had no title, it was charged.
Edgar jackson is son of the late
u. NJ. Jackson of Olathe, Kan, who
died about three months ago.

Uncle Sam Leases Did MOI Pay

shington.-With a long eXami-

the secretary, deposed members of
the tribal council of the Usage In
dams and the Uncle Sam Oil Com
pany over leases to Indian oil lands
granted by the deposed council to the
Uncle Sam Oil Company. Secretary
Fisher was emphatic in his opposi-

the Uncle Sam Oil Company and
caustic in his criticisms of the con-
duct of the company in procuring the
leases.
While the secretary was testifying
the United States District Court here
dismissed an application for a writ
of mandamus that would force him
to reinstate the deposed officials of
the Indian tribe. The court held that
the law conferred on the secretary
the power to remove the tribal
chiefs and council for good cause.

THE BAROMETER or THE POST
OFFICE, THE READING OF
WHICH SHOWS WESTERN
CANADA'S GROWTH.

Several of Western Canada news
papers coming to hand during the
last part of the year 1912 contained
items of news such as the following,
speaking of the Christmas work in
the postofnce:
SOther years have been heavy and
the employees have had plenty of OPP
portunity of learning what it was to
work overtime, but the past has had
nothing equal to the present Forty
extra men have been employed Gin
Winnipeg). and mail trains have been
rul special. The increase in the mail
this year has been due to the enor-
nous influx of people into Western
Canada during the season, and also
the general prosperity which the
prairie provinces have enjoyed. To
the latter cause has been due the
heavy increase in the number of par
cells which have been shipped to the
old country and Eastern Canada" II
The above extract taken from a
Winnipeg paper gives a fair idea of
the great work that the Canadian
postofices have had all through the
western prairies. During the past
year hundreds of new postofnces were
established, many of them at remote
upon the country on account of the
new settlements that have taken
place during the year. It is said of
the Canadian government that in its
immigration and settlement policy
there is nothing left undone to take
care of the people and their welfare,
whether 1t be in the new town along
q new line of railway or in the re-
hottest hamlet This SOIicituda and
care are not confined to the postof-
fee, but with every branch that has
to do with organizing new districts
Bridges have been built, roads con-
structed, the district policed, and a
dozen other things have to be done
and are done Is it any wonder that

MONEY TRUST INQUIRY TO STOF
LACK NEEDED POWER, SAYS THE
PUJO COMMITTEE.
Because Banks Have Denied Informa-
zion to Investigators Hearings
Will Be Suspended.

Washington. = Hearings of the
House committee which has been in
vestigating the money trust will be
suspended next Friday or Saturday,
according to an announcement by
Representative Pujo, chairman of the
committee. He assigned as the prin-
cipa1 reason for the suspension the
doubt cast upon the power of the
committee to inquire into the inter
nal affairs of banking institutions.
This action Representative Pujo
said in a statement explaining the
announcement, lis due mainly to the
doubt cast by the banks upon the
power of the committee to inquire
into their internal affairs and espe-
cially to their refusal to disclose the
names of individual loans and Dor
rowers of upwards of one million
dollars which WOULD affect only thir-
teen institutions in the United States.
Without this information, and in
the absence of means of ascertaining
the character of the business done
by the banks that have made huge
profits in a comparatively short time,
it is manifestly impossible for the
committee to ascertain whether, and
if so, to what extent, these banks and
their funds have been and are being
used by the great financial interests
in the furtherance Of their schemes
or to the exclusion OF competing
business.
