Another one of Wichita's old tin

and blaze followed which destroy

these will do little good SO long as

The Cheyenne Mission people had
their Christmas tree Thursday eve
ming, December 3d. The presents
did not differ widely from those seen
on hundreds of other trees through
out the country, and to cnumcratc
them would only be telling an old
story again. Suffice it to say that
they were many and appropriate.
The interest which the Mission peo-
pie took is shown by the fact that
many Of the presents were bought
and paid for by them. Music lent
its charm to the exercises, which
were concluded by a grand pyrotech-
nical display under the management
Of Bev. Beard. -

and the tree was inside a framework
supporting a double arch, which was
also tastefully decorated. To say the
least, the decoration was immense,
although not quite 50 many pres
cnts were given as at the Cheyenne
Mission. Mr.. Seger, as Santa Claus,
after exhibiting the elephant, dis
tributed the presents to the children

Mr.. Porter, of the census bureau, has
issued his first report on the indebted
ness of the cities of the United States.
From this report it appears that there
are 81 cities each with population of
$500 and upward, and an aggregate
population Of II, 596,55S. The aggregate
Indebtedness of these cities, less their
sinking funds, is 1898, 1884, 41S, or net
debt per capital Of $51.l7. The total
bonded debt is $6S2,O96,46O, of which
amount over $141,OOOOOO was incurred
for water works, $S1,OOO,OO0 for streets,
$6S,00O,O0O for railroads, $40,00OO0O for
parks and $2,OOO,O 900 for fire departments.
OF the whole bonded Indebtedness about
six-sevenths have been incurred since
1860, and about fOur-fifths draw interest
at six per cent and upward. All but
about 100000 fall due on or before the
year 1900.

He took part in forty battles and skirm-
ishes, including Waterloo. During his
long service he received 1872 sword cuts,
a saber stab in the eye, and eleven pistol
or gunshot wounds, Since his return to
America he has lived in Montreal, st.

and Indianapolis. He has seventeen

ENGLAND was our customer for nearly
half of all the wheat and flour we ex-
ported last year; and she can hardly get
along during the coming year with
smaller imports than those of the past
year, for the consumption for the past
year was greater than that of the year
before, and there is no reason to antici-
pate decrease of consumption. English
statistics show that from the harvest of
a year ago till the beginning of this
month the sales of home grown wheat
plus the imports and minus the exports
was S3,O59,909 hundred weight, against
70, 1925 hundred weight in the CORES

A GREAT deal of sickness is reported
among the Lesseps working parties on
the Panama Isthmus. That is what
might have been expected, for the climate
is one of the deadliest in the world for
Europeans. When the Panama railroad

might have been a dead body, so fearful
was the mortality among the builders.

The Detroit Evening News says, the
Pennsylvania insurance mania seems to
be spreading to Michigan, in the form of
matrimonial insurance companies. Two
of the latter have been organized in De-
troit during few weeks past, by parties
whose standing and responsibility are
hardly equal to w. H. Vanderbilt's, to
say the most for them, and honest people
who care to keep their money until they
get an equivalent will do well to give
these concerns very wide berth.
