For this great occasion excursion tick
cts will be sold from all principal points
n the United States and Canada to Mil
waukee and return via the Chicago. Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railway at half rates.
As its name indicates the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul Railway is the direct
route to Milwaukee, and as the camp
ground for the Uniformed Knights Ito
which point cars and trains will be run
through without transfer) is located d.
rectly ON this line, it will be seen that the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway
has great advantage over other routes
which are unable to furnish such facilities,
and visiting Knights, their families and
friends should bear this in mind when pur-
chasing excursion tickets. WI

ERRONEOUS ASSUMPTIONS.

1t is charged more or less forcibly, and
frequently by representative bodies, that
banks tend to contract the volume of
currency by locking up vast amounts, in
the aggregate, thereby reducing materi-
ally the average amount or per capita
of the circulating medium. In other
words, the conclusion is jumped at that
the money in the bank vaults is with
drawn from circulation to the detriment
Of business interests. 1t was in this line
that the farmers Alliance of the state
expressed itseli-not unequivocally but
by implication.
The idea is a mistaken one. On the
other hand the banks are very potent
and useful factors in equalizing and pro-
noting active circulation and distribu-
ton OF money.
Inquiry among the banks of Sank
Centre quite recently developed the fact
that there were on hand in cash. in all
the banks, not far from $4,000. BY
cash is meant the actual money in come
and current bills. At the same time the
individual deposits of money exceeded
$15O,OOO. This latter sum belonged to
hundreds of persons, representing the
surplus funds not Inundated in active
use by them, but PLACED where 1t would
be available anv momest for current
uses. In other words instead of keeping
= the money in their pockets they deposit
ed it with the bank for safety and it is
as easy and convenient to use by means
OF a check as it wonld be to count it out
Of a wallet. Now, the banks have dis
posed of this $15O,UOO fully four-ffths,
which is in active circulation again
really doing double service-for lis own
ers use it as required and the bank GUS
toners have borrowed it for use agoin
in business channels. Suppose there we've
no banks he. e-that $15O,O0O would be
hidden away. in safes, pocket books and
other more or l:ss convenient places
awaiting use as required; but no con-
siderable amount OF it would be loaned
as it may be needed on demand. The
result would be that the men who are
using the $152, 900 Oft would be depri'-
ed ofit-:ould not get it.-Why? because
it would not be in circulation. The face
is that the Sank Centre banks have put
into circulation fully 100000, of which
MORA that one-halfiS money which would
be boarded but for the instrumentality
of the banks.
And this is but one of the complex
functions of bank-usefulness; but if that
were all, as equalizers and promoters OF
money-circulat,on, and distributors OF
currency, their cxistedce is indicated and
they are entitled to respect, confidence
and goodwill as public benefactors.

THE CAUCUS,

Pursuant to a resolution passed at
preceding meeting. a number OF citizens
met on Monday evening last and ex-
pres ed their choice for mayor for the en-
suing year. c. o. Hoffman was chair
man of the meeting. The weather was
bad and the attendance was not as large
as was expected, nor as large as it had
been upon some less important occasions.
The first ballot showed thirty-fve votes,
with half-dozen names in the box, no
one receiving more than two votes. and
no nomination resulted. The next ballot
showed thirty-seven voters present, and
c. a. Emerson received nineteen of them,
giving him a clear majority over all, and
he has declared the nominee. Messrs.
Lovaas, Jackson and McCollum were ap
pointed a committee to wait upon Mr..
Emerson to ascertain whether he would
accept. 1t was moved that the conven,
ton proceed to nomlnate other officers,
but this was subsequently withdrawn,
as the call had only been for the no;nina-
ton of mayor. Committees OF three
were appointed from each Ward to recon-
mend candidates for aldermen, to report
at an adjourned meeting. to be held on
Friday evening. The chair named as
such committees: First ward. ]. M. Can
field. d. Wilcox and S. L. Lockwood;
Sec md ward, J. G. Lovaas, D. r. Jackson
and John Crowl. The meeting then adj
jourued.
There seemed 20 he difference Of opin-
ion as to whether the meeting absolutely
nominoted M. Emerson for mayor, or
only recommended him to the general
caucus to be held on Saturday. although
the majority are Of opinion that it was a
nomination, placing Nj. Emerson squarely
in the field regardless of any other cat
or convention, providing he will accept.
This Interpretation forces one to the con-
c1usion that the organization thereby
declares itself to be an independent party
within the city so far as city affairs are
concerned. And yet there were number
present and partici oatiug in that meet
ing who did not so understand it. who
had no desire to or idea of debarring
themselves from the right and privilege
of participating in the peoples caucus on
Saturday afternoon next.

STRAW THYME.

1t is an open secret that Henry Keller
has been for some time at work with G.
H. Ellis in perfecting machine for the
manufacture of binding Irvine from
straw. Ever since the binder was In
vented and put upon the market as
standard piece of agricultural labor
saving machinery, attention has been
directed to decreasing the cost Of ma
terial used for bands. Wire was at first
employed and served its purpose well,
but aside from its expense lis use was
attended with Objectionable features.
Experiments were made with paper
bands, but without satisfactory results.
Irvine was substituted for wire and its
use became practically universal. While
but trifle, if any. cheaper than wire,
yet its use was not attended with the
evils incident to wire. But there grew
up an unforeseen trouble in the use Of
twiue-the wide fuctuation in prices
from year to year due to the greet Of
manufacturers. Pools and combinations
were formed for the purpose of"corner-
ing" the products of the Irvine factories.
and the farmers were forced to pay ex-
orbitant prices, and as they were COM
PEELED to use it large tribute was ex-
acted from them.
The ultimatum of cheapness and in
dependence in the matter OF binding ma
rerial was felt to lie in the use of straw
bands-as every farmer could produce
the raw material in .uniimited quantity,
and for years the brightest iryeatiye
talent has been addressed to the produc-
ton of a practical machine for making
,servicable bands. Several have made in
different successes. bnt it remained for

A Washington dispatch of recent date
says: Henry Keller of Sank Centre,
MIMI. gave All exhibition of his straw
Irvine making machine yesterday in
Senator Davis committee room before
several senators, representatives and
Others. 1t is wonderful piece of mech
anism and must produce revolution in
the price OF binding Irvine. From the
raw material he produces before the
eyes of the lookers-on as fine quality of
Irvine as was ever seen. A full sized ma
chine will make from $1,000 to 10000
feet of tw1ne per day and boy can
operate the MACHINE.

Mr.. Ellis to reduce it to practical use
fulness. For three years he has been in
dustriously at work upon this machine
which is now nearly complete, bat even
in its crude form he succeeded IN making
straw Irvine which did practical work.
in small way, two years ago last fall.
This machine makes Irvine of straw
crude fax or rye, giving best results
which is strong enough to withstand
the strength Of an ordinary man. we'll
twisted with positive spinning device,
with two or three strands as desired,
not quite as large as an ordinary lead
pencil-or about twice as coarse as the
ordinary sisal binding Irvine. 1t is
smooth, elastic and taxable, and makes
a perfect knot in the ordinary selfbind-
ing machines, trifling and inexpensive
change only being necessary in tile con-
struction of the knotter. H.. ,
The machine is ingenious and yet
simple, so easily operated that a child of
ten years old can do perfect work with
it. 1t requires very little power, is COM
pact and will be put upon the market at
price which will put it within the
reach OF nearly every farmer, so that he
can make his own binding Irvine during
the winter, or at odd hours when not
otherwise employed, ct no expense
worth considering.
=, If this machine is the success which it
seems to be-and the writer has seen it
operate and given the Irvine manufac-
tured by it from both straw and crude
flax critical examination-it will for
ever solve the Irvine problem, and relieve
the farmer from burden which has been
laid upon him for years.
The machine will be known as the
"Ellis-Keller," the inventor and the pa
tron who has furnished the capital and
enterprise necessary to make it success,
being coupled together in manner that
will make them household words
throughout the agricultural world. 1t
is an achievement of which both have
reason to be proud, and which promises
substantial reward.
1t is expected that number OF the
machines will be completed very soon
eaough for a practical test during the
season of 1890.
o. Several patents have been taken out,
Mr.. Keller having just returned from
Washington, whittier he went to ex-
pedite MATTERS in the patent Office. In
case it proves to be the brilliant success
it seems, an important industry will be
added to Sank Centre, and the Keller
Manufacturing company will enter npon
an era OF prosperity hitherto undreamed
