Money Matters at Other Points.

ST. LOUIS, May 16.-The Bank of Kansas
City closed its doors Thursday. 1t had
capital Of 100000, and was the last to fall in
the great panic Of 1878. President Chick
states tii2G tie ~! N is due to the failure
of Donneii, Lawson q Simpson, their New
York correspondent. The bank had sur
Plus of S106,6SS, and after meeting of the
directors it was announced that the bank
would pay 20 per cent cash and the ba auc-
In certified checks. The amount of de-
posits is figured at S2,0O0,OOO. There was
run on the bank early in the morning
which resulted in panic among the deposi-
tors The Merchants National bank also is
sued certified checks to creditors The Bank
of Commerce was forced to post notice thae
it would pay 20 per cent. cash, only.
There were very painful scenes in the crowd
of laborers and small depositors that sur
rounded the Bank of Kansas City, and many
women were observed in tears. There is no
evidence of any trouble in the other banks of
the city, and nearly all of the present nstitut
tions passed through the panic of 1878 with
flying colors.
QUINCY, ILL.,, May 16.-The Union bank,
of this city failed to open its doors Thursday
morning. When the Marine bank of New
York failed, the Union bank transferred its
account to the Metropolitan and the closing
Of the doors of that bank Wednesday are
given as the cause Of the suspension.
New LONDON, Conn, May 16.-The losses
here by the New York failures will probably
amount to between 500, 900 and 100000
NORWICH, Conn.,, May 16.-The losses by
the New York failures on margins here will
be all Of $25O,00O.
CHICAGO, May 16.-The feeling on 'change
here is that, while our markets are becoming
more and more affected by what occurs on
Wall street, there is not much danger of any
similar trouble here. For years the banks
have not been in such a good condition
as at present. If panic had been anticipa-
ted better preparations could hardly have
been made for it. 1t was remarked by
gentleman well posted on financial affairs
that it seemed as though the banks had kept
their money all at home to meet just such an
emergency.
LONDON, May 16--The fresh failures in
New York have had very little effect on the
stock market. American securities are in
some instances higher than the best figures
Thursday, and some American securities are
at or within a fraction Of Thursdays closing
prices.
BRADFORD Pa, May 16-The failure of
the Tuna Valley bank has been followed by
the collapse Of the Exchange bank. Great
excitement exists, and the streets are filled
with people. The situation is panicky. The
failures of Jefferson & Varney and G. H.
Brooks, oil brokers, are also announced, and
others are anticipated.
PITTsBURG, May 16.-2 p. m.-For fear the
banks may throw immense blocks Of oil on
the market and precipitate crash, oil
brokers will buy nothing, thus forcing the
banks to carry on their own affairs.

County Roads.

Much has been said against the
arrangements Of railroads, some OF
it just, some unjust, and it is, in the
mind OF the average politician, en-
tirely safe to attack the railroads.
Gradually, we believe, the antago-
nism between the people and the
roads is dying Out, because each Ia
reaching better understanding OF
the rights and demands of the 9TH
er. Recently when the question Of
4 mandatory commission was up
before the people OF Tennessee, the
whole question. was discussed at
length on the stump, and the oppo-
nents OF the mandatory commission
-a'commission with power arbitra-
rily TO fix rates-were successful.
This is one indication that the rail-
roads are considering more than
they have done heretofore the COM
ditIon of the people and their rela-
ton to. the roads, while on the other
hand the people themselves APP
prOach the question in a broader
and more liberal spirit. Gross mis-
management and palpahle injustice
to the patrons of the road have done
much to bring about a bad state OF
affairs, but the indications now
point TO change for the better.
This, then, seoms to be the proper
period for considering what may
be done to improve our turnpikes
and dirt roads. We should give TO
this subject our careful attention.
Great as has been the benefit of the
iron roads in furnishing facilities
for transportation, the comfort and
welfare of the mass OF farmers de-
pends as much, or more, on good
dirt or macadam roads. In many
sections of the country these local
loads are for months impossible,
and often so rough and badly worn
as to be wretchedly uncomfortable.
Our farmers must give some seri-
GUS thought to this MATTER" Moth
ing so increases the value Of a farm
so much as good road leading di-
rect to railroad station. The cost
of hauling your cotton to the gin
and then to town, OF carrying your
grain to mill, or in placing other
products in the market, is greater
than you imagine. 1t costs less than
a cent a ton a mile to carry wheat
from Chicago to New York but II
costs much more than ten times that
sum to carry IL ten miles 10 the near
est town.
While the Improvement in rail-
roads has gone on rapidly, the cost
of transportation.by wagon Ia as
great or greater than ever before.
This ought not to be, and must not
The railroads themselves
are interested In improving the
country roads, and would, no doubt,
cooperate In any feasible plan Of
Improvement, for each new road X
a "feeder" TO the railroad. We put
out these suggestions now, with the
hope. of, hearing from Others on this
subject.

THE WEB OF LIFE.

Back ward my memory wanders tonight,
Into the shadow Of bygone years,
Parting the curtains and bringing TO light
The past with its burden of giadness ant
tears.
Things long forgotten, memories hushed,
Dreams had tenderly buried from sight
OF sunshine and gladness, of shadow and
blight,
OF a sisters tears, and q mothers prayers,
OF trials, temptations, victories won,
Ofdays of brightness, offreedom from cares
Or of striving to utter, "Thy will be done.
And marvel much at the tangled skeln
The parted curtains have left in sight,
With threads of gladness and threads OF
All mingled and twisted, the dark with
the light.
All! strangely woven, these lives of ours,
With a warp of gladness, a woof of pain
Yet the flowers would droop in the sunny
hours,
Where they never refreshed by the cool
ing rain.
We wonder ofttimes at the broken threads,
And murlI.u ur at TRIALS and crosses we
meet,
Ne'er thinking it needeth each fragment
and shred,
To render the pattern of life complete.
Oh careful Weaver is watching the loom,
And though the web may seem Jagged and
Whether threads of glory or threads Of
gloom,
He knoweth the reason, and that is
enough. =.

Why They Were Defestsd,

who ware Instrumental, In defeat
ing them have In some way Lot a
bird 20, Their defeat Is exacsly
what was aimed at. Not because
the Republicans had said they
would not accept the oflice, but b0-
cause such a rebuke as this would
certainly result in repeating tho un-
constitutional statue passed at the
last session Of the Legislature.
The American found the State In
this dilemma A law enacted
which was manlestly unconstitn.
