promise to be large. Handy and Har-
man will ship 500, 600 and Steinwander
and Stoffregren $4,000 Hard and
Rand will ship s25OOOO and Nesslage
and Fuller have increased by $50, 900
their gold engagements made earlier In
the week for 100000.
Crossman & Bro. have decided to
increase their shipment to Sl,5oO, 1000.
Some OF the gold has already been en-
gagged at the sub treasury, and 1t Ia
likely that all the shippers, with the ex-
ception OF Handy and Hartman, will get
their gold at the subtreasury. Oel-
richs & Co. will also send away $3.50, 900
in gold.
These big Withdrawals would
naturally bring the gold reserve below
the 500, 100000 point, but. as expected.

81, 900, 600 gold in the sub-Trensury be-
fore the close of business to-day 80 as
to hold the reserve above 500, 600 600.

being said, and thousands Of Sir Knights

The city ia still brightly illuminated
and the streets are crowded, but many
of the communicates have disbnnIed.

ing is finding expression not as yet con
trolling the markets or industries, but
warning against too rapid expansion

In some directions the advance in
prices clearly checks future business;
but few encouraging features have
great power. Exports of gold continue,
but are met by syndicate deposits and
are expected to cease soon. Anxietiea
about the monetary future no longer
hinder business. Crop prospects, except
for cotton have somewhat improved
during the week.
The industries are not only DOING

WAS A SEA MONSTER.
New York Museum Furnishes Specimens to
Merchants for Their show Windows.


Going along North Main street yes

| dows of a clothing house.
1t frequetly happens that when one
goes along business street and some
| thing in a show window attracts his
attention and he stops and looks in
tently a the object that another and
| another will stop until a crowd is col
! lected.
Shrwed business men have noticed
! this and it is said in some of the large
! cities OF this country that men hire
| themselves out to look into show win
| dowS and in this manner draw crowds
and attract attention to some article
| the merchant wishes 10 advertise
Hence il follows that when a crowd
assemblies before store window there
is not always something of especial in
terest that attracts them. There may
by hundred people assembled and
ninety of them went there TO see what
the other fellows We're looking at
But in this window on Main street
there was something to look at. 1t
was the mummified remains of a sea
serpent.
The monster had a large, horrible
looking head and further back were
two bat-like wings. beyond which the
body extended several feet. and resem-
bled the tabled dragon.
1t was a Veritable sea serpent. be-
cause sign over the monStrous reptile
said it was a sea serpent, and reputa-
bic merchants would not attempt to
deceive the public in a little matter like
that.
These strange specimens of supposed
animals which formerly existed on the
earth are becoming numerous in store
windows and a reporter for the Eagle
made up his mind TO investigate and
ascertain where they came from.
He learned from s. NJ. Stephens, who
had this particular specimen on exhi-
bition that ii came from a muesum in
New York, where such things were
kept for the purpose of which he was
now using the sea serpent, TO attract
attention to his windows.
The museum hires them out and they
are changed every two weeks In
about a week from now the sea serpent
Will be taken away and some other
wonder left in its place.
The furnishing of these attractions is
a regular business, for which the mer-
chants must pay and the museum peo-
pie doubtless make 4 good sum Of
money in this way in the course of a
year.
The reporter asked MrStephens II
the museum did not have sea serpents
already manufactured 10 order. but he
rather regarded that idea as something
that originated in the mind of the re-
porter.
He had been informed from pretty
reliable source, as he considered that
the museum people had their agents
collecting specimens in every land and
sea from Greenland's icy mountains 70
midas coral strands. and from crab ap
pie hill 70 pumpkin run.
Anyhow the museum in New York
says il Is sea serpent Mr.. Stephens

intidel has long since had impressed
upon his mind the futility Of undertake

have such institutions in other cities
and they are paying. He thinks one

SO many people are craving for wheels.
There IS no better streets in the
world TO train on than the streets Of
Wichita, but the novice does not like
