"The r.rand Trunk Pacific, a government

slope. The Immigration Is largely from the
t'nlted States.
"The Canadian Pacific is building at Cal
gary an Irrigation ditch 1W miles long to
Irrigate l.&A'xi acres of land. This land
wns formerly rejected by that company on
account of the supposed Infertility, but has
recently been accepted. The government
relinquished alternate sections and the land
owned by the Hudson Bay company was
bought by the railroad company, tnaklng

"Business consists largely of wheat ship

large passenner traffic, especially In the
summer. The Canadian National park Is
twice the size of Yellowstone park and

night will see the end of the open

the Indications point to an exceedingly dry

to open saloons In nearby towns, T. P.

a large stoiage- house at Ethan to ship
liquors to his customers over the state, and
the other five wholesale establishments

will store their fixtures and will turn their
places Into billiard halls for the present. In
the hope that Mitchell will reverse Itself
next year. The city administration will

a difficult matter to buy anythlr.g In the
future.

The republican state convention will be
held In Mitchell July 14. For the first
time in the history of the slate it will be
one of the quietest that has ever been held

OUIETBEFORE STRESS
(Continued from First Page.)
Intimate friend of Judge AM f . Parker,
who made the race for the piT?uncy four
years ago. It Is argued In favor of Judge
O'Brien that Tie could bring eastern demo
crats Into the Bryani camp.
The same claim has been made In behalf
of former Governor William L. Douglas of
Massachusetts as for Judge O'Brien. Mr.
Dougla is a manufacturer who enjoys the
confidence of business men In the east.
Another eastern candidate Is Archibald
McNeill of Bridgeport, Conn., who tomes
also from the ranks of business men.
Since the refusal of John MKchell. former
president of the t'nlted Mine Workers of
America, to permit his name to be usej
as a candidate for the democratic nomina
tion for governor of Illinois, he has been
mentioned prominently for the secor.4 place
on the democratic ticket. His nomination
would be satisfactory to union labor men,
It is said. Democratic leaders are Inclined
to put aside any discussion of the wisdom
of nominating a representative of labor,
however, until some decision Is reached In
the matter of Inserting In the platform the
"Injunction" plank advocated by officials
of the American Federation of Labor.
National Chairman Thomas Taggart has
announced to his colleagues that If an
Indiana man Is placed on the ticket his
state will go democratic In November. He
Is pushing the candidacy of John W. Kern.
Another man from Indiana mentioned In
connection with the place is Representa
tive Benjamin F. Shlvely. Befora a majority
of the delegates arrive In Denver It may
b expected that many other candidate
will be suggested.
All Ready for Delegates..
All things considered the coming conven
tion promises to be better handled and
more comfortably conducted than the ma
Joilty of similar gatherings in recent years.
The auditorium la completed and only the
settlement of a few details, for which there
Is an abundant e of time, remain to be con
sidered. The placing of seats for the dele
gates and alternates began yesterday and
will be completed tomorrow.
In one respect the arrangements are far
superior to thoee of the republican conven
tion and this la In the accommodations
provided for newspaper men. The In
geniously inconvenient and Inadequate ar
rangements at Chicago are to have no
parallel at Denver. The writing tables are
strong and aubstantlal and the aisles be
tween them are sufficiently wide to permit
a messenger to pass behind the chairs.
This could not be done at Chicago, where
the only exit for a man at the far end of
a row was either to compel every other
man In that row to arise so that he could
climb over their chairs or to walk along
tho top of the table on which other people
were writing. The hall Itself Is apparently
a model for convention purposes, although
It Is possible some defects will be .mn.
Ifested before -the great political gathering;
1 over. Its shape Is such that a far
greater number of people, will be within
range of a speaker's voice than was possi
ble in the Chicago coliseum. . .
The city Itself la making every possible
effort to entertain Its visitors In the moat
hospitable manner. The great majority of
the business houses and many of the resi
dences will bo decorated and under the
dlrectlorj and active management of a num
ber of patriotic organizations the display
of bunting promlBes to surpass anything
of the kind seen In the west In many years.
The great mass of decorations Is to be In
place by July 4 and will be allowed to re
main until after the convention baa ad
journed. Great Electric Display.
Even in its normal condition, Denver Is
a city of lavish eleotrlc display and when
plans under way have been completed, the
sight by night will be one. that will do
credit even to an electrical exposition,. The
great capttol building with Its vantage point
on the 'summit of a commanding eminence.
will be, when lighted up, a speotaoie of
really great beauty. At the apex of the
golden colored dome la placed an enormous
light, which can easily be seen at a distance
of forty, miles, and down the sloping aides
of the dome Itself and along the edges
Of manifold cornices and projections and at
the top of the massive granite column,
which stand at the four aides of the great
structure, have been placed thousands of
mailer light, which render the building
by" night a revelation well worth a far
Journey to see and which will not soon be
forgotten.

that there are close to lPt.KV women In
the I'nlted States quite competent to sus
tain with credit all the liberties and
"rights" claimed for them for the last fifty
years by those pioneer women of New Eng
land that men have only recently left off
calling "cranks." Though accustomed to
women or brain and culture, mo
press seems to find something surprising
In this aggregation of thinking, acting club
women.
The chairman of the credentials commit
tee reported 1,116 voting delegates present
at the opening session, Massachusetts hav
ing the largest delegation, 227 delegates and
2u9 alternates. Illinois is next with ninety
two delegates and forty-nine alterrAtes;
Iowa forty-nine delegates and twenty-three
alternate; Nebraska twenty-four delegates.
New York Is third with fifty-nine delegates
and far-off Texas has Bent seventeen dele

mated the attendance of visltlr-g club
women besides the delegates at from 3,000
to 6,0oo. All the morning sessions, except
ing business sessions, have been duplicated
In tho afternoon for the benefit of visiting
women, delegates and alternates not beli.g
admitted. F"oT-the delegatea and alternates
there have been numerous excursion dur
ing the week to the various place of his

The financial condition of the deration
is gratifying, the treasurer, Mr. Joslah
Cowles of Lo Angelea, reporting W.663 In
the treasury. The expense of the biennial
will, of courae, have to come out of thl.
In her annual address Mrs. Decker made
several suggestions that must appeal lo
club women who are In touch with the na
tional wtork as thoroughly practical. It ta
probable, however, that the adoption of at
least one of these suggestions by the con
vention, that pertaining to household econ
omics, will meet with protest ana criticism
from many who do not realize the demand
upon the national. Among the recommen
dations made by Mrs. Decker were tho fol
lowing: That the household economic de
partment of the General Federation be
dropped, as Its work Is something that can
not be conducted successfully by a na
tional body, but that atate federations con
tinue there committees under that name.
She suggested that the library extension
and the literature committees become One
department, and that the reciprocity com
mittee be merged In the bureau of informa
tion. If the latter department I continued.
She suggested that the'pfcre food commit
tee be changed to one of sanitation, -a
the question is now one of clean food more
particularly. Mrs. Decker advised that the
civic committee be divided iftto two de
partments, one to be called ivics, the
other health committee, with especial, ln-
terest 'in the tuberculosia problem.. . :
Among' the -conspicuous figure at the
convention are Mra. Julia Ward Howa of
Boston and Mr. D. N. Cooley of Dubuque,
la., two of the venerable pioneers. In the
woman' movement. Both have been made
honorary vice president of the Federa
tion, and both, In spite of ther advanced
age, are keenly alert to the problems with
which it is dealing.
Mr. Alden Ward Not a Candidate.
If the following announcement from one
of the Boston papers 1 true, one of the
strongest possible candidates for the pres
idency of th General Federation la re
moved: . .
Mm Mav Alden Ward announce, before
the convention opens formally, that she Is
nnt and hnM not been a candidate for the
presidency of th General Federation. All
who Know jvira. wara ana urn iiuuii
mi.K tim fthu ivnv in which she has au-
tnlnUtoreri the affairs' of the Office Of
president of a Massachusetts federation
ti ih.t ih would .make an admirable
and wholy competent prenldent . of tfie
General Federation and they will regret
that ahe decline.! to be a canaiaaie. Ana
other, though they may -not know di
rectly of her ability, feel that she may be
r...Hii um a "favorite daughter" ana
hat Maw F.nrland should Dossesn a presl
dent of the great organization. Many have
therefore assumed that Mrs. wara wuuui
be a candidate and without wora or per
mission from her nave openeiy uecmreu
her to be such. Some have gone ao far
as to work up an imaginary content for
this highest ornce in tneygui ui
women's clubs, but there will be nothing
of the kind. There will be an election
of officers, of courae; there must be, as
w i,UI.Uai.i ftni-nnd term of office IS
ending now, but there wil be nothing like
a "tug of war."
With a delegation of 227 Massachusetts
will have an Important voice in the elec
tion. It is possible, according to sosslp
in the letter home, that Mr. Philip
Moore of St. Loul wil get thl support,
although th New York women are said
to be confident that with Mr. Ward out
of the field their candidate, Mr. Philip
Carpenter, will be the next choice of the
Massachusetts women, a tne eaat gen

PROBE INTO MINE DISASTERS
' (Continued from First rage)
of duplication of wotk. both In the dls
tlot land offices and in the general land
office In Washington.
A separate series cf numbers for each
ciaas of entries has been In use at the
district land offices, such as the "Home
stead series (original)," "Homestead srfU
(final)," "Desert Land series," "Mineral
series." etc. Applications ond entries were
only 'numbered when allowed or approved.
Vnder the new system, each district land
office will maintain but 'one series of
numbers for nil kinds of entries Appli
cations and entries will be numbered at
the time and In the order In v.iilch they
are presented or received at the "district
land offices, before they ate considered
for the purpose of allowance or rejection.
This will permit of a "ready determination
of the priority of filing of each applica
tion or entry. .
Another Important ' Change Is in the
method of issuing receipt for moneys paid
to receivers. Applicant and entrymeii
heretofore have been compelled to tendef
money with their applications and entile,
and no receipt woutnleue until it was
determined whether the application or en
try could be allowed. Many applicants
seriously objected to the depositing of
their money without ome form of ac
knowledgment of Its receipt.
Receipt When Money la Paid.
A new form of receipt ha been adopted.
Theoe receipt are serially numbered, be
fore coming Into the hands of receiver,
with one series of numbers for all receiv
er. Press copies are made of all receipt
Issued, and forwarded, to ..the general land
office at the end of each month. All
persons tendering money to receiver will
hereafter be given a receipt therefor t
the time the noney Is tendered.
The Issuance of a receipt doe not neces
sarily mean that the application or entry
Is allowed or will be allowed. ' Applicant
and entrymen will be notified of th al
lowance or rejection of their application
or entries.
Blank for the return and accounts of
local land office to the general land of
fice havOfbeen reduced. to a uniform size
to accommodate the ordinary size" type
writing machines. Heretofore these blank
have been of a large. tinWIeldy size, which
necessitated making them out by pen and
Ink, and In numerous cases the local of
fices were compelled to practically suspend
business until their monthly and quarterly
reports were completed. Local office were
compelled tyider the old practice to dupli
cate for the quarter all that had been pre
viously reported each month. The quar
terly reports' hereafter will be merely a
recapitulation . of thd !. monthly reports.
Thirty large size bound books and fifty
three large size blanks have been replaced
wlth"fourteen uniform size blanks.
An 'alphabetical lndfx of all applicant
and entrymim 'will he fcept at each district
land office. Such 'n fbiex for the entire
land service wllr also' bK. kept at the gen
eral "land office, Wsilhlriyton. .' ;
Supplies aad Filing Hyatems.
Under the new system, local offices and
the general land office will be able to Iden
tify, and give full? Information in regard
to. anjt Application iarnry by- being fur
nished with, only the njarhe )t the appli
cant or entryman, or the name of the land
office and number of entry, or the number
of the receipt. Information aa to the date
or kind of entry or description of the land
will not bo necessary.
Innumerable Inquiries In the pat have
had to go unanswered by reason of the fact
that sufficient Information , was not fur
nished to Identify the case.
Each district land offlee is also furnished
with modern office supplies. Some of the
office in the past have, been compelled to
file letters In old , cigar boxes and such
other receptacle a were available.
It was upon the recommendation of ex-
Commissioner R. A. 'Bellinger that the
work of changing the pld practices to a
modern business system wa begun. Mr.
Dennett, the present commissioner of the
general land office, heartily supported the
recommendation, and is to be credited with
putting the system into effect.

funds could be thus raised for the cause of
an alleged revolution."
Plot Was Extensive.
"It was planned to make a concerted at
tack on Cludad Juarez, the Mexican border
town opposite El Paso, Texas; on Cludad
Perflrlo Diaz, opposite Eagle Paas, Texas;
on Las Vacas, across the Rio Grande from
Del Rio, and on Vlesca and a couple of
other Interior villages. The plan wa to
rob the banks and office.
'The Mexican cor.sul at El Faso got
wind of the affair and Informed the muni
cipal authorities with the result that the
would-be raider are now languishing In
that city.
In all other places with the exception of
Vleaea and Las Vaca. the plana mis
carried. In the attack on the latter place
fifteen men were killed but jio money was
secured. The commander of the Mexican
force wa (hot twice In the arm. All
of the raider Immediately fled back Into
Texas when repulsed.
As to the Vlesca bandits, their true
character was shown when, after securing
the $20,000 from the branch of the bank of
Neuvo Leon they fled with the money.
The Mexican troops are now pursuing
them In the wild of Durango,
"The outcome of the Vlesca affair will
be Blmple. These poor Ignorant men with
out a leader will be hunted down tn the
wild of Durango by Mexican troop.
'The La Varaa affair unforunately
present not so simple a solution a the
raider are now In Texas and most of
them claim protection on the plea that
their offense was cf a political nature
and tUerefore non extraditable. Some of
the participant too, claim to bo citizens
of the United States. According to a re
port received by the consulate today, both
respective governments will take up the
entire matter. Everything is quiet at
present and the government doe not think
a shadow of a chance for further trouble
exlats."
Revolutionists March on Torreon.
EL PASO, Tex., June 27. Thomas S. La-
conservatlve dally Mexican newspaper of
Chihuahua, In Its Issue of this morning.
which reached here tonight, ha a story
that an army of strength variously esti
mated from 400 to 7,000 men is marching on
Torreon, one of the richest title In the
tale of Coahuila.
The atory, after reviewing the attack on
Vlesca, tell of repeated attempt to rob
the pay train of the Mexican Central and
ay the country around Torreon, which
ta so closely settled that there are station
about every four kilometres, I swarming
with armed men, who appear at the rail
road station with guns and cartridge belts.
'These same report," says El Correo,
"say that three bridges on the railroad be
tween Parras and Torreon have been
burned, probably with the object of Imped
ing the passage of troops Into Torreon. Th
Incendiaries also probably selected Torreon
for Invasion because they considered It a
rich city to loot.
'Among the report that we hav heard
1 one which lay that about 4.000 armed
men. nearly all of whom are inhabitant
of ranches, are said to have passed Hornos,
In the state of Coahuila, on the Coahuila
A Pacific, about sixty-five kilometre from
Torreon.
'Whether the movement is- directed
gainst the government of Coahuila or
against the federal government no one la
able to say. It is generally auppoaed that
the movement la not against the state, but
against the federal government."

BANKS IN DOUBT MSEffXttf

Uncertain as to Tayment 'of latereit

RECENT ACT IS " NOT CLEAR

Will the national banks of Omaha be
compelled to pay the secretary rf the treas
ury $U.O0o annually lntereat on government
deposits, or only a nominal amount of ln
terest when they have special deposits? '
Thl question 1 a putale lo many of tho
hanker. The recent legislation requiring
the bank to pay 1 per cent per'annum In
terest on government deposits reads a
though tho banks would not have, to pay
the Interest, and at the same time financial
paper construe the new Inw to mean that
Interest of 1 per cent will 'ViaVe to be paid
on all government money and that only
three banks In the United Slates have so
far surrendered their government deposits.
The national bank Of Dmaha are all
government depositories and. better 'still,
they come under the head of "regular" de
positories. They hold abrVut tl.arTooo of
government cash nlbt of the tfrnt. v
The new law ssys regular . depositories '
shall pay interest on "all special ahd- ad
ditional deposits' placed in their vaults by
the secretary of the treasury. . It provide
that associations and institutions which be
come temporary depositories shall pay in
terest on all deposit.
Special and Additional. .
M. T. Barlow, president of the I'nlteit
State National bank. aldf "I may he
wrong and the ' secretary of the treasury;
may call on ua for th Interest, amounting
to 1 per cent, on all government money on
deposit In the bank,' but I take thl law to
mean 'special and additional' deposit which
are placed with the banks at such period
aa crop moving time, when all banks need
extra money." ,
Bankers say that If the secretary of tho
treasury wants 1 per cent per annum for
all money on deposit In Omaha he will got
$1,000 per month from the Omaha institu
tions, and they will place it to hi account
or forward the checka whenever he In
sists. The Omaha bank' will not be stub
born and send $1,200,000 of working capital
back to Washington.
Two of the bank which have refused to
pay Interest on specified amounts are In
New York City, while the third Is -in tha
west, but the secretary of the treasury has
not made the names of the Institution
public.
But the Interest check re not due un
til July 1 and there may be resignations of
deposit In greater number at that time.
A considerable um has' already been re
ceived from the hank, and the country
will realize a large amount of revenue on
Its 1 per cent per annum charge.
