VIII Charge Exchange.

During the past week the patrons Of
the several banks OF the city have receiv-
-, "otices which read as follows:
n. after March Let. 1897. the fol-
lowing rates OF exr... '. w., -, o axcamtio~.
to depositors. Positive,, = ovep
will be made: SO aad under. ut,
$40 to 800, 10c: over Sl0i to $40, 15cs-
over $40 toS2OO, Alc; over 5000 to $40
25c; over $2lO to $500, 3Oc. The same
rates in proportion on larger amounts.
The same rates will be charged on
checks received on deposit, with the fol-
lowing exceptions: Pension checks,
checks on Extra, Des Moines. Chicago,
Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
On all grain or stock drafts, or drafts
drawn with bill of lading attached, 10c
for each 500 or fractional part thereof.
For several ears past the banks have
furnished drafts free of charge to their
customers, and this new departure on
their part will cause quite an expense
to business men who send numerous
drafts to people with whom they deal.
There is however no good reas n why
bank should draw drafts free Of charge
any more than the postotlice should fur
nish money orders free. The handling
of a deposit subject to check is probably
not a matter Of sufficient profit to pay
the expenses OF blank drafts and the
time required for draft making and
bookkeeping save in exceptional cases.
The payment of exchange, while it may
seem hardship at first, will soon be-
come custom and will not be noticed.
We understand that other banks in
this section have adopted this rule.

The question of beet sugar manufac-
ture in Iowa was given a decided inn
petus at Des Moines Monday night at a
meeting called to consider the question,
Professor James Wilson. the newly ap-
pointed secretary of agriculture, was
present and expressed the opinion that
it was only question of time when the
people of this state would make an eff
fort to supply the sugar for which the
United States now sends abroad $780,
100000 each year. After six years of
experimenting at the Ames college, he
decides that Iowa can produce the beets
of proper sugar capacity to make manu-
facture success. It remains to inter-
est the people and the capitalists up to
the point of establishing such needed
weeks. This will come in time if the
proper public spirit is kept slive.-Times

There are good many men wanting
to rent farms the coming year, but very
few want to pay cash rent. The low
price for grain the past few years has
generally left the cash renter at the end
OF the year in debt. And, as not many
land owners care to rent for part OF
the crop, good many men, who have
heretofore rented farms will be without
n Job next summer.-Casey Vindicator.

Gases of tuberculosis were recently
discovered in the thoroughbred short
horn herd of T. R. Westrope & Son, of
Shelby county. The state veterinary
surgeon found twenty-three fine ami
mails affected, and their owner promptly
ordered them killed. The value of the
cattle thus disposed of was $4,000. The
Harlan Republican rightly says that it
takes nerve to make such a sacrifice on
the altar of public good.

dorsed by the plain people of the Repub-

much love of show among certain classes
in the United States in the matter of
office taking, aud the sooner the line is
drawn on rigid adherence to simplicity

President Cleveland has thrown around
the position an element of exclusiveness
that is disgusting even to the Senators
and members of the House of Represent
atives. With the aid of Private Secre-
tary Thurbtr he has managed to send
abroad the impression that the occupant
of the White House considers himself n
superior being, one ma de of too fine n
quality of clay to he brought into COM

it is Il matter of congratulation that this
state of affairs will not last any longer

Major McKnley's political opponents
give him credit for too much patriotism

How Spiders Mako Love.

Some interesting experiments have
been lately carried out OF the range Of
vision and sense of color possessed by
spiders. Twenty species were selected
and their study and observation extend
ed over eight successive summers. When
their prey, which consists of small in.
sects, is motionless, they perceive them
at IL distance of five inches, but when
they arc moving they can sight them ut
creator distances. while each other they
can SEQ distinctly up To ut least IL
inches.
Apparently sight not smell, guides
spiders, and we arc told how the males
in the mating season throw themselves
into quite different attitudes, according
as they catch sight of IL female or male
spider II was by this mode of express
ing their emotions that the range OF
sight as well as powers of distinct vision
possessed by these insects was teSted.--
