FUTURE PROBLEMS.
What Is to be the Effect of Colossal For
tunes on business Interests?
Boston Herald,

Boston Herald.
Any one who, in the turmoil of our
American life, stops long enough TO con-
slider what the state of our business re-
lations will be in this country genera
tion hence, cannot but be impressed by
the fact that they promise TO bring to the
surface problems which have never be-
fore agitated commercial community.
Within the past generation we have wit
messed the formation of quite number
of vast individual fortunes. These have
been made with great rapidity, and, what
is more, these personal accumulations
continue to go on at prodigious rate.
1t is, of course, impossible to say with
any degree OF certainty what such men
as Vanderbilt, Astor, Gould, Hunting
ton and 8 number of others are worth,
but there is no reason to think that the
reports which grade their wealth by the
tens of millions of dollars are over esti-
mated.
Men may, in times past, have been rel
atively as wealthy as they, but in former
days this was connected in some degree
with governmental responsibilities.
That is, great possessions were not asso-
ciated and were not concomitant with
active business dealings. and hence,
though men in the past had vast posses
NV
factors in mercantile affairs.
But now all this has been changed.
Because a man has more wealth than he
can by any possibility use for his per
sonal qualification, be does not consider
it incumbent on him to retire from ac-
tive life. On the contrary he is fully as
eager as any one to add TO his store.
More than this, il has been demonstrated
that by the death of very rich man, il
by no means follows that his fortune
will be dissipated. He may supply the
possible needs of his children in a lavish
manner, and yet allow the bulk of his
fortune to descend to the next generation
unbroken. In this way, more and more
few hands, and with It,
what is of vastly more importance,
vast mercantile power. One way
in which this shows itself is in railroad
speculation, in which a few great opera
tors, who have unlimited means at their
command, are able TO force q market up
or down at their pleasure. This, il Is
true, does not signify much to those who,
in small way, happen to be joint own
ers in these railroad properties. If q man
of moderate means puts his money into
railroad stock for an investment, these
temporary changes in price at the stock
exchange do not do him any material
damage. The road and lis equipments
are the same, no matter what the ex-
change price Of its stock may be. and il
| is in its corporate management, and in
the dividends that il pays that he is chief.

TO have been committed in Marion

county Jail on rccsgnizance for his APP
pearancc at The November term of court,
in the sum of $1,000. a few days ago

thereof Deputy Sheriff Smith, of Mar

nesday, for fhc purpose of
arrcsting Roberts, whose home is on
Elm creek in the northern part of the
county. He started for that place yes
ierday morning accompanied by Sheriff
Moon. They found Roberts mounted
on horse in the barn yard, and Smith
approached him with his revolver level
ed at him and requested Roberts to hold
up his hands. This he did and Smith
seized this opportunity to take pistol
from Roberts belt, but as
ne. Smith, was congratulating him
self upon the capture Of his man, Rob
ens reached into his pocket and drew
out another weapon, with which he COW
cred Smith and declared he would moi
go with him. Smith. in turn, pointed
his revolver at Roberts, and the two, it
is said, maintained this hostile attitude
till Roberts gradually backed his horse,
some distance away, and then started
him on the run and thus made his es-
cape.
Search is now being made for him by
Smith and Sheriff Moon, who started
out again Thursday, and by B. F. Ro

suoeeaafui Wool Growers.

The Snediker brothers, on Eagle creek,
who came TO Lyon county a few years ago
with few hundred dollars, have demon
strated the possibilities of sheep grow
ing in a very conclusive and satisfactory
manner. This season they shipped to
Chicago about 1900 pounds of wool on
which they expect TO realize % cents per
pound. The increase of their fiocks has
been ninety per cent, and they have now
over 100 head. all of which are in fine
condition. Out of the proceeds of
their venture they have not only paid for
many substantial Improvements on their
original farm, but have purchased quite
an additional amount of land with a
view to securing their own range, if it
should ever become necessary to confine
themselves to it. They are among the
most prosperous citizens of Lyon coun-
ty, and their successful manipulation of
sheep shows what there is IN this indus
try for men who will give it their care
full attention.

Burlington Patriot: Saturday the
Missouri Pacific depot was captured by
the Germans, and six car loads, aggre-
eating $4,000 pounds of wool, were ship
ped from Burlington to Boston. II.
Benenstock, OF st. Louis, purchased one
car load, and 0. d. Swan, OF Emporia,
five car loads They paid an average Of
twenty cents per pound, and over $780,
600 in cash was passed into the palms of
these hardy Germans as the result of
this sale of wool. These fellows know
all about packing wool, and will stuff
400 pounds into a wool sack while an
American has hard work TO get half or
two-thirds the same amount into the
same sized sack. Their wool is packed
in admirable shape, into the smallest
possible space, and of course they can
get much more into car than when
loosely packed.
