The Lovvesl Loaning Rate
Of any. associallan in the city is that of The Conservative '
Savings & Loan Association, 1614 Harney street. 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. ( ,

WASHINGTON, May 14.-The Vreeland
currency bill, agreed upon by the republi

house under a special rule by a vote of
;1S4 to 245. Fifteen so-called Insurgents of
the majority party voted with the dcmo-

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

been offered by Mr.. Kahn e( California, as
a substitute for the Vreeland bill, In no
Icordance with a well-laid plan of the ma

was claimed by several, was supported by

tentiary, j
'James X Fee was found rullty of black
mall by a Jury In criminal court tost
nlRht for attempting to estoft $5,000 from
Luther Drake, jSresldent of t'.ie Merchants'
'Natfonnl bsnk' hy threatening to explode
a bctle which, he ssld contained nitro
glycerin in Mr. .Drake's office unless the
niP.iey was forthcomlnif.
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.
Fee claimed to have been a loser In a

of pronounced opinions and at times Justi-1
fled his act by saying that ha needed the
money and Mr. Drake did not. At other
times he declared the whole matter was

RELIEF WGROOW GOING ON

students in their places, although many
difficulties were overcome. 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. When found it was so covered
with dust from the severe shaking that he
brushed It off with a clothesbrush before
plunging Into ( It.
Little Progress lu Tillage.
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. In others a mass of debris so
tangled and con'ortM remains that several
days wllKbe required to bring order. The
village was patrolled by the college boy
In military style Wednesday night.
One hoy rummaging In the ruins of the
house occupied by H. S. Nichols found a
ring set with two sto'ne supposed to be
emeralds. He went away wearing the ring.

dishes of small else which falls Into the
handa of these visitors Is lost.

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.'
"About five minute before the storm
Contract Burgeon McMillen and two civil
ians were seen leering the corral In the
doctor' rig and wnen they arrived In front
of the band quarters the doctor and one
of the civilians abandoned the rig. The
other one got out and continued to drive
the horse on foot until after ho crested
the car tracks, when he was hit hy several
pieces of flying slate and rendered uncon
scious and afterward taken to the hospital,
where It wa found he had about tight or
ten flesh wohnds and. his clothlnj torn In
many place by flying slate ,
"At about the same time a large plce
of slate rooflmj struck the horse on the
left side Just In rear of the fore leg and
passed almost entirely through him. The
horse freed himself from the buggy and In
so doing broke his leg and afterward had
to be shot. It I stated Mr. McMillan had
just sold the horse and buggy to one of
the men who accompanied him In the rig
for 1175. All that could be found of the
buggy were the spokes from the whrols."

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.

Testa of Gold Discovered In Ashes

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.

PITTSBURG. Pa.. May 14 -Mrs. John H.
McJunkin of Corapolls, a suburb of this

According to Mrs. McJunkin she believes
her husband Is one Of the victims of the
Guinness farm mystery. She says he left
this vicinity In December, 1906, following a
