CHARGED WITH FORGERY.

Peoria Banker and Edticafßr la Indicted by Grand Jury. The arrest of Newton C. Dougherty, superintendent of schools and president of the Peoria National Bank, in

N. C. DOUGHERTY.

but the further discovery was made that the peculations have been extending over a long term of years. Before the investigation of Dougherty’s affairs are concluded it is said the defalcations of the superintendent of schools may reach $200,000. Dougherty .asserts the entire shortage is the result of defective bookkeeping, and says his entire fortune, which is estimated at $250,000, will be turned over if necessary to make it good. Mr. Dougherty has been city superintendent of schools for twenty-five years. He is immensely wealthy, and besides being president of the PeoriU National Bank, is a heavy stockholder in the Dime Savings Company, the Peoria Livery Company and other con cerjis.

He is a. trustee of the fund of $175,000 held by the National Educational Association and is a past president of the association. He is a close friend of Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University of New York, and has been for years regarded as one of the foremost educational men in the country. The news of his arrest created the greatest excitement. Although there have been rumors of the gravest character for some time past, the friends of the financier -were loyal to him. According to a Peoria dispatch it was Erwin Schnebly, a youpg bank clerk in the Peoria National Bank, who ferreted out the defalcations which Newton C. Dougherty, superintendent of schools, has been manipulating for many years in Peoria. Schnebly, by watching the skillful work of Mr. Dougherty, followed the case step by step and finally placed in the hands of the grand jury the information which led to Dougherty’s arrest and indictment.

PANORAMA OF ACTIVITY.

An Unusual Condition in the Prosperous Northwest. The farmers of the Northwest are staggering under the biggest crops that section has witnessed in years. Furthermore, the industrial and merchntile prosperity is wonderful. Not a city or hamlet in Minnesota or the two Dakotas is exempt from the prosperous conditions. In all the cities there is a . remarkable amount of building in progress, and as far as the eye can see from the railway train the prairie country is dotted thickly with grain and hay stacks. From all appearances, South Dakota will produce a big yield of all kinds of grain this year. This wheat is averaging well and yields run from 15 to 30 bushels per acre. The delayed frost has greatly increased the corn crop and there is not a county in the Northwest that will not produce a free crop of corn. On all sides the thfashers are busy and the entire country presents a panorama of activity. It will require all the winter and next spring to dispose of fhis fall’s enormous yield. of crops in South Dakota. The crop of wheat alone will certainly aggregate 40,000,000 bushels, not including the big yield of maccaroni wheat. South Dakota alone has an area of 76,000 square miles — more than 49,000,000 acres —and is larger by a fourth than the combined area of the New England States. For the past seven consecutive years it has led all others In the production of wealth per capita, the State report for 1904 being $148,956,663, or estimated at 500.000 population, $297.91 for each man, woman and child. It is a remarkable fact that people are pouring into the Northwest so fast to acquire lands and to engage in business that the railways are taxed to find accommodations. Trains are full to overflowing, it being difficult to find seats. People are for once too busy for politics. The farmer is strictly in it this year, and he faces big crops on his own and neighbors’ lands, good prices and increased valuation of his farm property. It is no uncommon thing to find men who have paid for their land with the sale of their crop this or last year.

OLD WORLD NOTABLES

King Edward lias just paid $1,200 for a French bulldog. Kaiser Wilhelm 11. receives from 600 to 700 letters and appeals daily. The Duke of Veragua, Spain, has made a fortune; by raising bulls for the arena. Prince Peter Kropotkin, the famous social reformer, now resides at Bromley, England. M.

BACK IN THE CAPITAL

PRESIDENT AND FAMILY RETURN FROM OYSTER BAY. Citizens of Washington Welcome Him —Executive Is in Robust Health - Will Immediately Take Up Numerous Problems of Government. Washington correspondence: President Roosevelt, Mrs. Roose and their three younger children, Ethel, Quentin and Archibald, returned to Washington from Oyster Bay Saturday, evening. The President was browner and apparently lustier after his summer on Long Island than when he returned from hunting bears in Colorado last .spring. He was a picture of physical health and strength. The swimming, boating, horseback riding and camping out, with which he diversified the routine of his life at Sagamore Hill, have conditioned him to a degree that will render his prospective labors comparatively easy. The President’s reception by the people of Washington was decorously but none the leSs sincerely enthusiastic. Washington loves ail Presidents. 11 never neglects an opportunity to pay homage to whomsoever happens to be the occupant of the White House. It is not an exaggeration to say, however, that President Roosevelt occupies a warmer place in the hearts of the residents of the capital city than his predecessors. They like him for his youth, his audacity, his initiative and last, but not least, his willingness to be a good neighbor. Their admiration for him visibly increased after the successful culmination of the peace negotiations at Portsmouth, and Saturday night’s monster reception was undoubtedly due in part to a desire to pay tribute to him for having initiated that act in behalf of peace.

Fifty Thousand Cheer His Arrival. Perhaps 50,000 men and women were assembled in Pennsylvania avenue, between 6tb street and the White House. In any other city than Washington, where civic pomp and pageantry are on display nearly all the time, such an assemblage would have been provocative of a crush. Here, however, the police have a method of maintaining order that is as effective as it is admirable. The White House was reached about 6:40 o’clock and the President, after shaking hands with the various attendants who were congregated under the porte-cochere, went in. Mrs. Roosevelt appeared to be as pleased as her husband again to get into touch with her servants and cordially shook all their hands. The President said he was glad to return to Washington and Washington seemed equally glad that he had returned. The absence of the chief executive and Congress combined from the national capital, involving as it does an almost complete cessation of executive and legislative business, except that of the most routine character, produces a void which can only be appreciated by those who have to. exist in the characterless atmosphere. The President said he would settle down to work, taking up in their order all of the numerous problems of government which are now pending b fore him. One of the first things he will do will be to appoint a new public printer. The Panama Canal, with its multiplicity of important details, will occupy much of the President's time and attention. After the commission of international engineers returns to Washington from an inspection of the physical problems presented by the route which has been selected the President will make up his mind as to whether Congress will be required to provide for a lock canal or a sealevel canal.

He will take up the Czar’s proposition to reconvene The Hague tribunal and select those American citizens who will represent the United States there. Also he will begin immediately the preparation of his annual message to Congress, which will contain among other things his views on the question of railway rate legislation. So far as can be ascertained the President has not materially altered the views which he expressed in his last message on this subject. It is known, however, that he 4s disposed to believe that legislation more liberal in its bearing upon the railways than the Esch-Townsend bill can and ought to be devised. This subject will, be thoroughly thrashed out between now and the time the message is ready for submission to Congress. All of the Senators and Representatives whose committee assignments invest them with special powers and duties in connection with railroad legislation will present their individual ▼lews to the President They will tell him what, In their judgment, can be done and what is impassible, and urge, in behalf of everybody concerned, that he avoid lending himself to the unreasonable clamor of professional lobbyists posing as agents of reform.

M’CALL MAKES ADMISSION.

Bays More than Half Million Waa Used in Legislatures. John A. McCall, president of the New Y'ork Life Insurance Company, was on the witness stand the greater part of

Wednesday before the Armstrong investigating committee in New York, and in sharp contrast with his first appearance two weeks ago he made no secret of the immense payments by his company to “Judge” Andrew Hamilton to influence insurance legislation in various

JOHN A. M. CALL.

States of the Union. Much of the proposed insurance legislation in various States he characterized as blackmailing attempts. It was brought out: 1. That since 1900 the New York Life has paid to “Judge’* Hamilton $476,927.02 for legislative purposes, and has also paid to others largo sums for similar work, bringing the total of such expenditures up to $509,127.02. 2. That in addition to these payments to Hamilton, President McCall expects him to render bills for his services during the present year which will aggregate about $165,000. 3. That, besides these payments to “Judge” Hamilton and in addition to the $235,000 paid him in 1903, ostensibly on account of real estate deals and for which he has rendered no account to the New York Life, he was also paid $75,000 in June, 1904, for which he has rendered no account. The total of the sums given him, so far as is known, for which he has rendered no account now stands at $310,000. 4. That John A. MvCall, who is a director of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, borrowed $75,000 from that institution at 1% per cent interest. On July 1 last, snortly before the appointment by the Legislature of the insurance investigating committee, the interest rate on tills loan was increased to 2% per cent, at which it still stands, the loan being unpaid. 5. That John R. Hegeman, president of the Metropolitan Life, in addition to borrowing $50,000 from the New Y'ork Life at 1% per cent, also, it was intimated, borrowed money from his own company, the Metropolitan Life. 6. That the New York Life encourages its agents to get new business on the deferred dividend plan by paying them 60 per cent commission of the first year’s premiums and only 40 per cent commission on annual dividend policies. This, in face of the fact admitted by the chief actuary of the New York Life that it is easier for an agent to get new business on tlie deferred dividend system than on the plans for which the smaller commission is paid. 7. That the cost to the company of getting new business on the deferred dividend plan is so excessive that in 1903 the New York Life had to borrow from its surplus accumulations over $7,000,000 to pay the expenses of business which in premiums yielded only in that year about $3,400,000. 8. That, although diligent search has been made during the past two weeks, no record whatever has been found on the New York Life of anyone of the three $50,000 payments to the Republican national campaign committee. 9. That four relatives of President McCall, all of them employed by the New York Life at large salaries, live in an apartment house at 49 West Seventysecond street, owned by the company, at rentals which yield the policy holders only 2 3-10 per cent on an investment of $203,000, the cost of the property. 10. That President McCall admits there should be a limitation to the business which a life insurance company may roll up and that the legislative committee should give that subject serious attention.

NATION BREAKS RECORD.

Foreign Commerce Total for Fiscal Year Is $2,635,970,333. All records were broken by the fortign commerce of the United States during the fiscal year which closed June 30. For the twelve months the exports and imports were valued at $2,635,970,333, compared with $2,451,914,642 during the previous year, which was the largest on record. The imports were valued at sl.117,507,500 and exports at $1,518,462,333, both new high records. An unusual feature of American foreign commerce is the small increase in rustoms revenues, notwithstanding the large increase in imports. Dutiable merchandise imported reached a Value of 1600,071,238, an increase of $63,114,107 ever the previous year. Nevertheless, customs duties last year amounted to 1262,060,518. or less than $1,000,000 in sxcoss of the duties collected in 1904. Reciprocity with Cuba reducing the duties on sugar and tobacco, together with Imports remaining in warehouse upon which duties haven ot been paid, account tor tho small increase in revenues. The articles showing the largest increases in exportations during the eleven months for which details are available: Corn, an Increase of $16,000,000, as comriared with ths corresponding period of 004. Copper manufactures, an increase of $25.000,000, about one-third being in exports to China, where large amounts of copper are In demand for coinage purposes. Cotton manufactures, an Increase of $-’-,- 000,000, principally In exports of cotton cloths to China. , nAn ana Raw cotton, an Increase of $9,000,000 during the twelve months. Iron and steel manufactures, an Increase •f $23,000,000. 'itie principal articles showing decreased exports for the twelve months are: REDUCTION. Wheat ’M'SE Fruits and nuts 5,000,000 Provisions ...., • • 5,000,000 Unmanufactured wood t.-- «,oOO,voo The reduction of exports of wheat and wheat flour was due in part to the inadequacy of the domestic crop to furnish any considerable surplus over the home requirements, and in part to unusually large crops in foreign wheat-producing countries. Exports of wheat from the United States during tho fiscal year just ended have been even lower than the year before. Jewels valued at several thousands of dollars have been stolen from the home of H. Van Rensselaer Kennedy, in Hempstead, L. I.

The Ironic Motorman.

The car was ju«t getting under way, says a writer in the New York Sun. when two women, rushing from opposite sides of the street to greet each other, met right in the middle of the car track and in front of the car. There the women stopped and began to talk. The car stopped, too, but they did not appear to realize that it was there. Some of the passengers on the front seat began to make sarcastic remarks. Then the motor man showed that he possessed the saving grace of hunger. Leaning over the dashboard, he said, gently: “Ladies, would you like to have me get you a couple of chairs?”

Cream, Ark., Oct; 9.—(Special.— After eighteen months' suffering from Epilepsy, Backache and Kidney Complaint, Mr. W. H. Smith of this place is a well man again and those who have watched his return to health unhesitatingly give all the credit to Dodd's Kidney Pills. In an interview regarding his cure, Mr. Smith says: “I had been low for eighteen months with my back and kidneys and also Epilepsy. I had taken everything I knew of and nothing seemed to do me any good till a friend of mine got me to send for Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I find that they are the greatest medicine in the world, for now I am able to work and am in fact as stout and strong as before I took sick.” Dodd’s Kidney Pills cure the Kidneys. Cured Kidneys cleanse the blood of .all impurities. Pure blood means good health.

“Ah-hah, squire!” chuckled Hi Spry, the village wag and cut-up, upon encountering the old codger next morning after the date of the appearance of the greatest show on earth. “Ketched ye in a yarn! Told me ye was goin’ to take boy to the circus and I seen ye right smack up on the tip-top seat last night, without a single sign of a boy with ye!” “Took the boy I used to be, years and years ago!” returned the veteran, crabbedly. “I’m in my second childhood, golram ye!”—Puck.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

Fall distribution of comChiCdQO. comodities is of excep- ■ tional proportions, indicating that business generally is making satisfactory progress. The "demand for money for commercial purposes has not suffered from the advanced cost of borrowing, nor is healthy expansion in industrial enterprise interfered with, funds being ample for known needs. Dealings were seasonably stimulated in fashionable retail lines and the aggregate buying reflects improved consumption of necessaries. v Heavy shipments have been made to many points in the West and Southwest, but the pressure upon forwarders has not yet ceased. Farm work in the winter wheat sections is abdut over, and this permits increasing activity at country stores in personal and’farm requirements. The markets for raw materials exhibit further strengthening in demand and higher prices developed in pig iron, steel bars, leather and hides, the latter material scoring the highest average in forty years. Iron and steel commitments again were on a record-breaking scale, the added demands extending the period of assured work into next midsummer. Other factory work is more animated, more hands being employed, and improvement is seen in machinery, heavy hardware and furniture making. Leather working trades are more fully engaged and building construction discloses no abatement. Failures reported in the Chicago district number thirty-two, against thir-ty-nine last week and twenty-two a year ago.—Dun's Review of Trade.

77 September, a period of fIBY 10Fn. almost unexampled activity in all lines of distributive trade and industry, closes with little abatement visible in demand and with optimism as to the future widespread. Favoring the satisfactory winding up of the month’s work have been good weather conditions, allowing the maturing of practically all food crops without damage from frost. Additionally helpful to distributive trade and collections have been the beginning of a free movement of spring wheat, large sales of cotton at. good prices South, an unprecedented demand at top prices for all kinds of building material, marked freedom from industrial friction and a market for labor and its products active as rarely before in the country’s history. Business failures in the United States for the week ended Sept. 28 number 185, against 173 last week, 179 in the like week of 1904, 153 in 1903, 164 in 1902 and 175 in 1901. In Canada failures for the week number 28, as against 30 last week and 21 in this week a year ago.—Bradstreet’s Commercial Report. S'
