Since Oct. 1st last our rate has been (iOc per month interest on each $1.00 borrowed, or 7 1-5 per cent. Our plan calls for a monthly payment of $1.10 per $100 borrowed (J0c interest and 50c -dues principal or $11 per month ier $1,000 loan as a minimum $6.00 of which is interest and $5.00 dues principal. This is the small est amount per month per $1,000 fixed by any association in the city, leaving it open to the borrower to pay as much more per month or week, or whenever he wishes, as he; may be pleased to pay. In this way a loan may be paid off in one year or; ten years, according to the clrcum 6tances and wishej of the borrower. He pays interest only for th time he has the money, and may pay 6ff his loan ! in full or part at' any time, stopping interest at once'on the amount repaid. Prompt attentions given to all loan applications. This Is an Im portant part of our trainees and we give every applicant prompt con- , slderatlon. 1 , ' We handle the larger loans, ranging from $2,500 to $5,000, as well as the smaller, and since we charge no commission to make a. loan and allow liberal terms of repayment, our money, in the long run, Is as cheap as any that any borrower can secure. Our borrowers are also protected by our large reserve and un-' divided profit account of $83,000. Our present resources are t2,S50,000 and our dividend rate, in which borrowers participate, Is C per cent. ( , Tf;3 Conservative Savings & Loan Association , Geo. K. Gllmore, Pres. Paul W.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-The Vreeland currency bill, agreed upon by the republi can cauci-s, was today put through the house under a special rule by a vote of ;1S4 to 245. Fifteen so-called Insurgents of the majority party voted with the dcmo- ; crats, who went on record solidly against I the measure. ! The closing moments of the debate were replete with excitement and republican enthusiasm caused by the refusal of the great majority of the drmoWata to go on ; record for the Williams bill, which had been offered by Mr..

The Jury' arrived' at the verdict after a little mnre than 'three hours of deliberation. It retired to-' the Jury room at 4 o'clock and 'the verdict was reed shortly after 7 o'clock. j The defense conducted by Sidney VP. Smith, was based' entirely on the theory that Fee was, Insane when he mode the 'threat. The principal Insanity witness was Dr. le Van Camp who had examined -thej. prlsOnef al ' the county Jail. He ex pressed the opinion that ie was insane and should be confined In an Insane asylum. County Attorney English con tended that Fee was sr.ne and knew what he was doing. He lutlmated that he had been doing- "queer" thirgs In order to give color to the Insanity plea. At the trial yesterday afternoon, Ed Coleman, a prisoner in the county jail, said he thought Fee was of unsound mind because he was In the habit of get ting up jn the night saying he had cramps In his legs and would pace the floor to stop the pain; that he was absent-minded, would walk fast up and down the corridor and then stop suddenly and begirt to talk so clallHm to someone. Besides this he had weak eyes. F.rldenrea of Insanity. Jailer Osborn started to testify about a letter Fee had written to him In which he complained that the potatoes furnished the prisoner were not real potatoes but manu factured. The letter was ruled out by Judge Bears. Bherirf Brailey testified Fee Insisted on playing cards during religious services In the Jail and declared socialism wnhla only religion. Practioally all of his testimony was ruled out by the court. The state Introduced several witnesses In rebuttal, among them Captain Dunn, who said Fee had told him Immediately after his arrest that the bottle contained water and was harmless. He also said Fee told him he had read of a man who got )2Q,000 In Denver by threatening a banker and he thought he could get some money the same way. The attempted extortion took place on the morning of March 10 when Fee entered Mr. Drake's office and demanded the money under a threat to blow them both Up together. Mr. Drake Induced him to go out to breakfast with him and while Fee wns eating he was arrested by the police. The bottle he had In his pocket when arrested wns taken across the river to a sand bar broken by a bullet from a rifle. It "was found to contain water.

Most of the recitation rooms have nut been entirely refitted. The bricks, glass and plaster were shoveled out, but the cracked walls, hang ing paper and sifting lime dust, made most of the rooms uninviting. Pictures on the walls were still tumbled, and many window panes were out. The students took to their work cheerfully. Prof. W. C. T. Adams, of 'the normal department said, "It Is llko the first day after vacation. All things are at odds and ends. Lessons and study have bucn forgotten In tho storm. We will be down to business In a day or two." , First Chapel Exercises. The first chapel exercise was held Thurs day morning in the dining room of Fonta nels hall. The chapel Is Ciarke hall was uncovered and stripped of much of tho furniture. The meeting was filled with a spirit of pluck and determination which speaks well for the future of the school. The college yells rose as cheerfully defiant against the reverses as It It had been a foot ball team which had tumbled the local squad Instead of the buffeting of the wind. The recitation rooms on the third floor of Clarke hall. Including the normal depart ment, are cloned and the members of these classes recite in the dining rooms and par lors. .Lowery hall was damaged even more than Clarke hall. The root waa torn off and the -!? considerably wracked. The windows were nearly all awmollahed. It cannot be used for a dormitory for several weeks. The other buildings escdped. In the dormitories the boys for the first time Thursday morning began to talk of cleaning up. In one room In Hsmilton hall found all degTees'of that process In prog ress. One boy was seen standing on a chair picking loose plaster off the ceiling, while another scraped the prospective beard oft Ms chin. A third was hunting for a clean shirt.

Down In the village very few changes have been made in the way of cleaning up. In half a dozen place the devastation waa so complete that little cleaning up will be necessary.

BIRKETT'l ACTION 19 QHATIFVIQ Promptness of Senator In Aiding Port Crook Gives Flenaore. Major D. E. McCarthy, chief quarter master of the Department of the Missouri, ssld Thursday morning: "After examining the conditions at Fort Crook I think that Captain Ooha's estimate of the tornado damage is fairly accural. The situation was at once telegraphed to the quartermaster general anM the head of the military staff of the army at Wash ington and Immediate action urged, which we see has been done. "The prompt action of Senator Burkett In Introducing the emergency measure for the relief of Fort Crook excites our ln eerest admiration and thanks. The appro priations for the fiscal year now available are about exhausted and without this prompt emergency action the situation would be very serious at Fori Crook. As It Is, the elate sliThgles,, will have to be procured from New England points, fiota My from Maine and other points where the slate shingle quarries are located. With the appropriation as contemplated for re pairing the damage at the fort. Which may be even greater than we can now hurriedly estimate, there will be a busy time at the fort In the very near future. "The storm cut many very queer freaks about the buildings.. ! noticed one In stance where a piece of slate roofing Was driven Into a telegraph pole two or three Inches without damaging the slat shingle. Another was where , 6me glass goblets were blown frem a table In one of the officers' quarters and have disappeared completely, evidently Mown out 'the win dow, wblle setting right , by them were other glasses that were not disturbed. 83 It .wss with a fine tandelsbra; prt of the candelabra was. tprn' .away completely, while the other part .escaped .'injury.'

Tho Live Stock Situation. Discussing the grazing problem In the southwest, a problem resulting from the wasteful methods of the early settlers, II. A. Jastro, president of the American National Live Stock association, thought cattlemen are at last roused, to the tact that better methods must.be followed or their business will be 'ruined. Borne plan of government control, however, would be necessary In order to secure to stockmen a permanency in their business which they do not now nor can they ever enjoy under our present land law. Mr. Jastro advo cated as a remedy, .for .lie evil which menaces an industry valued at 1100,000,000 the system of management under which' jmbllc lands withdrawn for purposes, of forest protection are now being restored to their termer ' splendid -condition. ' He called attention i to 'some national legislation In the Interest of the organiza tion which he prsaented. aa -follows: First A "Just - and equitable lease law should be passed that will control the stork grazing lands from the Mississippi to th Pacific. Second The third section of the Dingier act should be so amended as to allow for any part of the 80 per cent reduction, which the law puta on for trading pur poses, as may be necessary to secure favorable admission to European countries, of such commodities as cattle, fresh meat and other animal, farm and manufactured products. Third There should be authorised a non partisan commission whose duty It shall be to report to the next congress a tariff schedule, fair to all lnteresta and framed on such lines as will secure for u th best foreign market. Fourth Laws should he enacted making It the duty of railroads to provide sufficient facilities to perform with dispatch their duties as common carriers. In furnishing cars and transporting all freight. Including live stock, and providing all conventencea necessary to different classes and different kinds of freight, tinder penalty of a specific damage sustained by theshlpper. Wastage of te Soil. Prof. Thomas Chamberlain of the Univer sity of Chicago spoke on Soil Wastage" in part aa follows; We 'have accurate measure of the rate of solproductlon. but It is clearly very slow. While it varies directly for different kinds of rock and for partially reduced rock, the usual estimate is a foot in 4,000 to 8,000 years, which Includes channel cut ting, etc. This Is doubtless too high for (oil production alone. I should hesitate to name a rate greater than one foot In 10.000 years on the baaisof observation!. It ws allow 40,000 year for the four feet of soil next the rock, It Is probably none too conserva tive. To maintain a good working depth, surface waatage should then not exceed some such rate as orje inch in a 1,000 years. At any rate, surf see wastage must be very slow unless It Is to cut-run soil pro duction and lead to the loss of the tody of the soli. Surface wattage la therefore a ser ious menace to the retention of our soils under present modes of management. His torical evidence enforces thlk. In the Orient, there are large tracts .glmost abso lutely bare of soil nor-which formerly bore flourishing populations. Much more than simple loss of fertility Is here menaced; it is the loss of the soil-body Itself, a loss almost beyond repair. The Immense ton age of soil material, carried out to sea an nually by our rivers is an Impressive ward ing of the danger of excessive soil Waste. Nor Is this all; the wash from one acre often covers the fertile portion of another acre or of several. Sometimes one's loss Is another's gain, but all to frequently one's loss Is another's disaster. From a study of soils. It becomes clear that the key to the problem Ilea in the control of the water which falls on each acre. This wter-fall Is sn assest of great possible value,' saved If turned where It will do.-a;ood. lost It permitted to run away, doubly lost if It carries away also soil that crops csn use to profit. The pitiable struggles of certain oriental people to retain and cultivate ths scant remnants of once ample soils is both sn example and a warning. Our escape from such a struggle should spring from a longer f orevlston, a deeper Insight, greater skill and lndetatigabls Industry.

DIGGING WILL BE RESUMED SOON Testa of Gold Discovered In Ashes Will So Made I to Ascertain Ita Parity and Ita Origin. LA POR.TK. Ind.. May 14.-The OulnneS death farm teday gave up more corrobora tive evidence a to the extent of the trage dies that have made It famous. Two more watches were found In the debris of the ruined house and these, taken ill connection with nine prerlously discov ered, show that at least more person than had beeft discovered met death on the place. The bodies of nine male victims have been unearthed, yet the record of watches be longing to men Is tn. Sheriff Bmutser announced after the find ing of today that he will resume digging operations, with the hope of -uncovering additional skeletons, "the excavation when It takes place probably will be done under the flooring In the basement of the barn. Thl building was moved a short time ago and some of the men who performed the work have told the authorities that Mrs. Outlines watched every move they msde end kept guard about the place during the Interval of work. Sheriff Bmutrer when the watches were found today sought an interview with Prosecutor Smith. The state announced this morning that evidence that Lamphere had endeavored to blackmail Mrs. Ouinneas has been se cured from a former resident of this city, who is now at Chesterton, Ind. They assert that a man named Charles Nelson will testify that he saw Mrs. Guinness give Woo to Lamphere. Prosecutor Smith argue that this aum Is far In excess of any amount which might have been due to Lamphere for the class of servls which he performed on the farm. Bits of Gold In Ashes. The possible determination that the globules of metal found by th mining operations on the Guinness farm yesterday were bit of gold used by a dentist for. filling In or crowns on the woman's teeth la likely to be a de velopment of Importance In the case today. The specimens were turned over to a local jeweler last night and It is expected that he will report on them soon. The testa which are necessary, one by applying fluids to the metal, and the other Involving calcu lations of the weight, are comparatively Simple to experts and the general confirma tion of the relics will also be taken into consideration. The fact that these producta of the sluice box tailing are globular is taken a prima facie evidence that the metal la gold. Dr. I. P. Norton, who pronounced the pseudo specimen found Tuesday to be a bit of gilded picture framing. Bald yester day that gold of the fineness used by dent ists always bubbles Into globule under a fusing heat and the specimens In question are supposed, to have been in the hottest part of the ruined Guinness home for twelve or more hour. , The mystery ha reached a stage where the determination of such facta is of major Importance. The discovery of additional bodies Is a remote possibility and the Identi fication of any of the seven cadavers re maining unmarked Is even more distinctly to be expected. Yesterday's developments did little to elucidate the unsolved problems . arising from . the. corpse-sown farm. The letter from Cleveland concerning the attempts of an accomplice of Mrs. Oulnness to draw andther victim into her net served to strengthen the Idea that the woman' waa th center of a system for murdering and fleec ing those person who followed the trail of bait which led to the barnyard cemetery on the place.
