one of the foremost financial institutions of
Sioux City. to-day made an assignment and
closed its doors. General liabilities 1856,
574, assets $2,000,00O. The failure was pre-
cipitated by the assignment Of d. L.

endorsed paper heavy for the Sioux City
concern, and an immense amount of this
paper is held in the east, and payment and
renewal were refused.

real estate to secure $175.OOO. and q ohattsl

CAKLISLE'S PROPOSITION.
Which Was Not Accepted by the New
York banks.


New YonK. April 25--Carlisle's PROPOSE
tion 10 the New York bankers yesterday is
understood to have been this: He wished
to know whether they would lend the gov
ernnent 500. O.0O0. 600 in gold for ono year
from May l. tho loan TO be secured by ten
year government Ave per cent bonds. to be
issued at 117j1. which would be equivalent
to three per cent bonds. The terms OF this
proposition were that tho bonds should be
placed in trust with the secretary OF the
treasury or the aub-treasurer. and, as the
banks turned in gold the certificates were
TO be issued to them therefor. Az the end
OF the year ths government Was to have the
option OF paying off tho loan in gold with
three per cent interest Ii tho government
could not pay the loan In gold mt the end of
the year. then the banks we're to Surrender
their certificates and take the amount OF
bonds to which they were entitled at HE.
The answer of the bankers to the pto-
position WAS that their gold Is held in re-
serve. AS required by law. and If surren-
dered for bonds not current money IL would
have to be replaced in other money. which
would mean that they would have to pull in
loans to an equal amount. The result
would be very stringent money, perhaps Il
panic.
What the bankers are willing to do. al
though they have not made a direct offer,
Is this: They will turn over $50, 600 coo in
gold to the treasury department II 1t will
issue in exchange certificates or notes bear
ing two and one half per cent interest.
which can be counted in the reserve and be
used in the settlement of balances at the
clearing house, the same as money. and
which will be received for balances due the
sub-treasnty. and be reissued in exchange
for greenbacks or legal tender notes. The
certificates could be the same as the old
clearing house certificates issued against
collateral, which, in this instance would be
gold.

To the EditOr:-I believe that l can
help the sick and suffering by giving
them the benefit of my experiences:
For years l have suffered from rheu-
matism, complicated with neuralgia and
severe headaches, and at regular inter
walls with the illness peculiar to my sex,
at times almost crazy with pains in my
head and body. have employed ply
sicians in Denver, Chicago, here and 9th
er cities who have given me but temper
airy relief.
Some time ago began the use of DR..
David Kennedy's favorite remedy, and it
has done me more good than all the doc
tors put together. l am better now than
have been in years, and my neighbors
will vouch for this great improvement
Favorite Remedy has made in me.
have recommended Favorite Remedy to
many of my friends and it has in every
case helped them.
Having found a medicine that has
demonstrated it's power to benefit and
cure in such complicated case as my
own, l feel it duty to make it known
publicly so that the many suffering ones
of this city can avail themselves of it.
Mrs. A. WILEY, Cincinnati, o.
DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy has
certainly made wonderful cures in cases
where the skill and methods of other
physicians have been baffled. DR.. Ken

ney complaints which always arise from
acidity of the blood.

day and that in Kyoto 1000 are eaten,
you will see there is a permanent mar
ket for all that can be raised. If a
disease that spreads is found, chickens
are killed at once. A cross between the
Cochinzashu and the Leghorn is found
to be the best layer. One male is kept
with about 25 hens. The seed is chiefly
from America. This gentleman realizes
with present stock something like S25
yen a year from the sale of chickens,
500 ven from sale of offal, and 2,100 yen
from sale of eggs. He employs boys to
assist, and seven of them together easily
do the work. With the business steadily
increasing anyone can see that his profit
is sure to be snug little sum. The OBJ
servstion of such success leads one to
suggest this line of employment to others.
1t does one good to see man studying
his business carefully and prospecting.

CORRESPONDENCE OF DAILY KOK
CHRONICLE-TSU TORI-YA, JAPAN.

An occasional correspondent sends us
from Tsu, Ise, an interesting note on a
chicken farm in the neighborhood of
that city. He writes: If you were to
go to the poultry yards about one mile
away from Tsu you would see some q,
500 poultry from one year 20 five years
old. You would also see 800 chickens
about month old. If you should ask
the genial proprietor of the establish
ment to tell you of his enterprise he
would give you the following facts. He
has had ten years experience at the
business. He plans to hatch 10000
chickens before this year ends, and it
will be necessary to set some IA ,2S0 eggs
therefor. He finds February and March
fairly good months for setting hens, but
in the Tsu climate, August, September,
and October prove the best months. In
summer it is too hot and the insects
trouble. With the present number of
fowls the average number of eggs laid
daily is 700. The gentleman intends to
increase his stock 500 each year, and
next year there should be an average of
800 eggs per day, he estimates. 1t is his
plan to sell off 500 of the oldest of the
2,5oO on hand and 1900 of the 10000
chickens Matched during the year. This
will leave on hand for the next winter
1850. He has to build new yards and
houses every year. About half of the
chickens raised each year are sold in
Miye-ken, but the others are sent to
Kyoto, Osaka, Tamba, Tango, BizeD,
Bitchiu and elsewhere. Chickens sold
as soon as Matched, or within few days
before the gender can be distinguished
by the combs, are sold at sen 5 rim
each. When chickens are one month
old the males are picked ont and sold at
A sen apiece, a female being counted
worth two males every time. Those
chickens that are sent off to other prov
inces are usually put into bamboo bas-
kets foot high and perhaps three feet
in diameter, fifty being put into each.
There are men in Miye-ken who come
here and buy chickens that are young
and take them off to farmers who buy
them and fatten them, whereupon the
seller to them appears and buys them
back, taking them to restaurants and
hotels. They thus serve as middlemen.
At this poultry farm there is great care
paid to the health of the fowl. Their
food is a mixture CT rice-1sur, rice-bran,
wheat bran, crushed shells from the sea
shore, or remnants of fish, and juicy
weeds and grasses growing in water.
The weeds are cut very fine, and the
whole is mixed in buckets as provender
for cattle, They are fed about three
times day as rule, but they claim to
feed according to the desires of the
poultry. One hyo of this mixed food
costs about 90 sen, and the average ex-
pense for a year is 1880 yen. Chickens
are sold at any time OF the year, but a
higher price is asked proportionately for
those older than one month. Chickens
one year old bring about 95 sen each,
two years old bring 10 sen, and three
years old sold by the Kwamme bring
about 90 sen each. When you learn that
in Osaka 1900 chickens are eaten in one
