Washington , D. C.-It is unlikely
5 that there will be any shortage ol
r money this fall anywhere in the Unit-
I
, , ed States , according to the treasury
department. In its opinion the danger
I mark , if there has actually been one
during several months past , has been
M
left astern. The department. officials
„ t give these reasons for their prediction
of plentiful money :
Primarily the banks saw what looked
like a money shortage coming several
t months ago. They knew they could
expect no help from the United States
treasury , such as they got in 1908 , * and
prepared themselves. ,
Th.ey have niled up money , piling up
reserves and cutting down risky loans
and bonds or other securities , which
might not be easy to sell , having been
turned into money. '
By doing all of that the banks have
fortiJJ.ed themselves against an emer-
gency. How well they did it was seen
last week when $10,000,000 was moved
out of New York to other banks , and
done very easily. Panics forseen ,
,
never come , financiers say.
Money ' is plentiful in England and
nearly every crop in this country this
/ year is reported to be a bumper one.
Corn will set a new record.

5,323 VETERANS DIE IN 1909
Retiring Commander , Van Sant , Pays
High Tribute to Soldiers of Con-
federacy-His Remarks Greeted
With Applause at Encampment.
Atlantic City , N. J.-The national
encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic Thursday elected John
E. Gilman .of Boston commander-in-
chief for the ensuing year , John Mc
Elroy , the only other aspirant for the
office , withdrawing his name prior to
the election.
In opening the business session of
the national encampment the retiring
commander-in-chief , Samuel R. Van
Sant , of Minnesota , gave a compre-
hensive review of the work of the or-
ganization for the past year and out-
lined what might be accomplished for
the good of the order in the future.
The commander spoke earnestly as
he expressed his gratification at the
increasing fraternization of the "blue"
" " '
and the "gray.
When he said that no braver troops
were ever marshaled for conflict than
the southern soldiers and that the
Union veterans now realize that no
men ever made greater sacrifices for
what they believed to be right' than
their former foes , the commander was
applauded.
While the roll of the Grand Army
is steadily shortening , the commander
in-chief urged that every effort be
made to keep the organization up to
its fullest possible strength. He
quoted the figures showing that G. A.
R. at the beginning of the present
year had still 213,901 members In
good standing , as against 220,600 at
the begining of 1909. The loss dur-
ing the year was 6,781 , of which 5,323
was by death.
Commander-in-Chief Van Sant had
commendation for the work of all the
auxiliaries , praising the excellent
work being done by the Woman's Re-
lief corps , Ladies of the G. A. R. , Sons
of Veterans and Daughters of Veter-
ans.
Atlantic City , N. J.-The veterans
In attendance upon the Grand Army
of the Republic national encampment
marched through the streets of At-
lantic City Wednesday to the strains
of martial music as they did nearly
half a century ago.
The streets through which the pa-
rade passed were beautifully deco-
rated , and the old soldiers marched
bejtween solid walls of spectators
whqse cheering was continuous. All
along the route relief stations were
established for the comfort of the
veterans , and they were served with
coffee and other refreshing drinks.
Some of the feebler ones dropped out
before the end of the route was
reached , but most of them marched
on sturdily to the point where the pa
rade was disbanded.
BALK PLOT TO KILL MIKADO
Certain Death Awaits Plotters Under-

Tokyo , Japan.-A sensation was
caused by the publication of the al

peared in the Hochi Shimbun , which

to death after trials before a special

This is the first time in the history
of the country that the life of the
sovereign has been plotted against
by his own people and the fact has
become known. It is understood that
a rigorous censorship prevented the
publication of as much as a hint of
the conspiracy until this evening ,
when the Hochi Shimbun assumed
responsibility for the alarming an-
nouncement.

I 'THUGS ROB lEN E QF $10,000
- - - - - - -
TWO PITTSBURG BROTHERS ARE
HELD UP AT CHICAGO.
Merchants Were on Way to Wisconsin
to Buy Tobacco When Robbed-
$500 Diamond Gone.
-
Chicago. - Harry \ V. and Max
C. Chotiner of the Pittsburg to-
bacco distributing firm of H. W. Choti
ner & Brother , incorporated were held
up and robbed of $10,000 in money
and a two-carat diamond shirt stud
valued at $500 at Quincy and Jefferson
street last night. The hold-up men
are still at large.
The brothers were on their way
from Twelfth and Halsted streets to
the Brevoort hotel , where they are
stopping. Being strangers in the city ,
they lost their way. While walking in
Quincy street 100 feet east of Jeffer
son they were seized from behind by
two men. Max , who carried the money
in his inside coat pocket was hurled
into a vacant lot and pinned down by
his assailant , while his brother en-
gaged in a struggle with the other
highwayman on the sidewalk.
In the struggle Harry was robbed of
his diamond. Gaining his freedom by
wriggling out of his coat , he declares
he ran down the street shouting "Mur-
der , " "Police , " "Help , " continuing to
the Union depot , several blocks away ,
where he met a policeman. When the
policeman reached the scene of the
robbery he found Max lying in the lot
in a semi-conscious condition.
When Max revived he said that after
he had been knocked down by one rob-
I ber another attacked him , knocking
the breath out of him. The money
was then wrested from his pocket , and
the highwaymen ran.
The Chotiner brothers tried to de
posit the money in the First National
bank , but decided to carry it , as It
would be impossible to get the money
out of the bank until today. They had
intended to leave Chicago last night
for Janesville , Wis. , to complete a deal
for $10,000 worth of tobacco.
CAMPAIGN WAS A WARM ONE
Congressman Tawney of Minnesota
Loses Out In State Primary by
a Small Margin.
St. Paul , Minn. - Primaries were
held throughout Minnesota Tuesday
for the nomination of candidates for
congress , state legislature and county
officers.
Interest centered in the First $ dis
trict and the scattering returns indi- I
cate the defeat of Congressman J. A.
Tawney by a small margin by SYd-
ney Anderson , a young attorney of
Lanesboro. This will probably be the
only change in the delegation to con-
gress , although there is a possibility
of defeat of C. F. Stevens in the
Fourth district by Hugh Halbert.
The fight on Tawney has been the
warmest in the state. Anderson was
brought out by the progressive league
and few thought he had any show.
But he made a better campaign than
anticipated and unless later returns
are different , he wins by a small mar-
gin. The winner will be opposed by
H. L. Buck of Winona , who had a
clear field for the Democratic nomina
tion.
Halbert did not get into the fight
until three weeks ago , but has made
a whirlwind campaign. The Stevens
people did not see any chance of de
feat until a couple of weeks ago , but
since then Stevens has made a strong
fight for renomin tion.

After Nebraska Spuds. 1
Brown County - The farmers of this
section are harvesting their potatoes
and are finding a ready market. In I
fact there is a demand for Brown ; r
county potatoes which is almost with- , / ,
out precedent. Chicago buyers have ' / l
thus far bought everything in sight ,
and the "spuds" are being shipped
at the rate of five cars per day and I
this will be increased soon. One '
farmer contracted for his entire crop
of 8,000 bushels at 65 cents a bushel.
The acreage this year was the great-
est in the history of the county and
the yield is good , the greater num-
ber of potato raisers reporting about
110 bushels to the acre. The pota ,
toes , while not quite as large as in r
years gone by , are declared by potato
experts to be of first-class quality. ,
Profiting by last year's experience ,
when thousands of bushels were
frozen in the ground , there is a great , r
hustle to get them out of the ground
and three weel ! ; s more will witness
the finish of potato digging.
