Kansas would do well to send a COM
mittee east after PETER. Aside from
leaving the impression everywhere that
westerners are greenhorns, of which he
is chief, he is doing infinite damage to
Kansas credit by his unwarranted and
imbecile rawlings over mythical hardships
and expressions. The Industrious west
ern farmer is today what he has ever
been, contented, prosperous man.

WHAT WAS DONE IN STOCKS.

w Hal w AS DONE OlONhO'
The stock market, in making further progress
toward higher values, exhibited notable irregu-
larity to-day. Although understand that the
project for placing the floating debt of Union
Pacific beyond probability of disturbance for
some time has been finally arranged in all sub
stantial features, that stock lost much Of its
recent activity, and after fluctuations exceeding
per cent, closed only 1-2 per cent better. The
place of leader in point OF business done WINS
usurped by Louisville and Nashville, and while
it broke to So in justification Of tips" circulated
from particular source, its net decline was only
equal TO Union Pacifc's gain The Changers, the
Northern Pacific, Missouri Pacific and Lacka-
wanna were all strong, with net Improvements
Of per cent and over. Atchison moved up only
slightly, notwithstanding the continued heavy
gains in gross earnings reported by the company.
The rise in prices this week would invite more
confidence were they not so obviously the. result
Of professional operations. The flrmness in the
foreign exchanges is curious when commercial
bills drawn against exports ought 10 be increas-
ing The slightly higher rates for call loans OBJ
tained at one time in the afternoon are no index
of the actual condition Of the money market.
Stocks were not up TO the highest points at the
close, but the current expectations were for
further advances.

ST. PAUL'S FISCAL YEAR.

Friday, Aug. lap m.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul Railway
reports its results for June as follows Gross
earnings, S2,147,6l4, against 81 ,s4e,s76 in June
1890. gain Of 81 ,73s; operating expenses and
taxes S1,472,997, against 81 ,310,073, increase
of S1e2,o24; net earnings, S674,616, against
S63o,so2 in 1890, q gain Of $3S,s14 With the
returns for June the fiscal year of the St Paul
closes, and the preliminary report Is found still
to reflect the unfavorabe conditions Of rates which
were so aggravated in 1890. The gross earnings
increased 81 ,516, although only half the
period was covered by the operations Of the
Western Traffic Association. The expenses and
taxes were increased $1,l93,403, leaving a de-
crease in net earnings of $94,Ss6. An increase of
e114,1sS in other income" was partly Offset by
an increase In charges of S23,097, so that with
the loss IN net earnings. the balance after paying
charges is SO 800 less than in the previous year
The surplus after 7 per cent dividends the
preferred stock is S69e,l65, or Sls,362 smaller
than in 1890, but this surplus Is equal to l.50
per cent on the common stock, against about 80
per cent year ago. The preliminary statement
compares with the two preceding years as follows:

TAKE an hour OF exercise to every
pound of food. We are not nourished
by what We eat but by what we digest
Every hour you steal from digestion
will be reclaimed by indigestion. Be-
ware Of the wrath OF patient stom-

is poor pedestrian; walk at the rate
of four miles an hour and you will
