The examination Of Ferdinand Ward,
tho business end of the firm Of Grant &
Ward, Developer some peculiar things.
The method OF bookkeeping is novel
though displaying little ingenuity. Here
isan entry: april l, W. S. Warner puts
in $4,000; duo Oh Msy1, s35. 600; due on
June /, $50 .0O0." The amounts due, nc.
cording 10 Ward represented "profts" or
'contracts'-S7O,OO0 earned in Two months
on Sl75,C00. But there were no contracts,
and OF course there were no profits. 4.
It is pretty well understood now what
kind OF man Ward was. What kind Of a
man was Warner that he expected such
enormous gsins-Slo0,000 per annum Oh
an investment OF Sl75,O00? At six per-
cent his money would have yielded 81 500,
at ten percent Sl7,5OO. What could he
have thought that Grant & Ward could
find to put his Money in to make it earn
him 2lo percent and leave them little for
their trouble?
Ward explains that when money WIS
put in by customers the "profs1" were at
once fixed, together with the date of pay
ment. There was no rule Of arithmetic.
Tho customer was given what it was
thought he ought to have, and Ward says
that Fish apportlonod the "profta." rs
It is plain that tho customers OF Grant &
Ward were badly treatcd-there ought to
DO honor smours thieves; bat men who
havs money 10 invest ara supposed to have
aomo knowledge OF business methods, some
adequate idea o! the power CT money to
earn money. There can BIO very little
sympathy with grown men who exre: 10

What do you think OF Ward?
l think he is crazy. The man must
have been crazy to condnct his oper-
ations in the way he did, and his
partners must have been quite crazy
to have allowed it. Ward has no
property. There was no intentional
dishonesty in his wild financcring.
His great success turned his brain
and he let things run in the most
reckless manner. A great many OF
liabilities are not liabilities at all

Mr.. EDITOR:
Since our last we have exchanged
our home on the prairics of Western
Texas for temporary one in this city.
Aud vast is the change. Now if
you were ever country lad you
doubtless remember how you felt on
your first visit to the city. How your
heart leaped for joy when YOU heard
the small boy on the corner yell, "Pea-
nuts five cr quart and you thought,
what a bargain. SO we will not at
tempt to describe our feelings on that
great occasion. Evansville is truly
nice city and one never lacks for
amusement. There is an excursion
on the river nearly every day to some
point. We intended to go on an eXcur-
sion 10 Owensboro last Sunday but
were too late. AS we stood on the
wharf and watched the boat plowing
her way, just as though we didn't
want to 90, we could but wonder if,
just little too late would be the
cry to greet us through life. If we
fall in love with girl, its only to
find that some fellow has Il claim just
a little older than ours. But there is
one boat we can always catch, that's
the ferry, because it leaves the shore
every half hour. The dry spell holds
on here extremely well and we sup
pose every one knows the weather. is
very warm. Political excitement is
very high. Especially among the
boys. One would have to be here to
realize how much noise four or five
