CURRENCY LACKING.

Chicago, Aug. s1.-The Post says,

Chicago, Aug 31.-The Post says,
'"There is probability of a lack of cur
rency as the work Of moving the immense
crops proceeds. Already the banks of New
York are experiencing shortage in small
currency. and have not only appealed
to the treasury department at Washinton
for aid, but have sent call to Chicago
for assistance. What they want is money
to pay balances and handle their proper
ton of the large crops of the country. So
anxious are the New York bankers for cur
rency that they have sent requests to Chi
cago banking institutions to send all the
currency they can get their hands on and
the Gotham banks will pay the express
age.
while there has always been a lack Of
small currency In Chicago during the
months Of September and October, the banks
have always been able to obtain aid both
from the treasury department and the New
York institutions. They have never been
seriously Inconvenience as result of the
shortage during the moving of crops. But
the amount of small bills the war has put
into circulation. together with the extraordt-
nary size of the crops, has made the ques-
ton of currency serious problem. Espe-
cially is there q lack of the smaller de-
nominations.
lone banker in Chicago says the local
institutions have carefully kept their sup
ply of small currency and have plenty to
carry them along for some time, but he
predicts before the end comes, the bankers
will be shipping gold. This is an unusual
situation. 1t has been some time since
Chicago bankers have been compelled to
ship gold to pay balances. But this Is
feared by leading financiers They say the
demand for currency will be much greater
gold will have to be transp orted In lieu
of currency"

1t Scored a Hit.

The Warner Comedy company
opened its weeks engagement at the
Grand last evening under decidedly
favorable auspices. The parqueU and
dress circle of the opera house were
crowded and the balcony and the
gallery also contained host of en-
thusiastic spectators. The company
gives an excellent entertainment and
scored a hit on its opening night. 1t
is undoubtedly one of the very best
repertoire companies that ever visited
Saltwater.
The play was bright comedy
drama in four acts entitled "Mercie's
Marriage" with Cora Warner in the
title role. Cora Warner is an actress
of more than usual attraction and
talent and her support was excellent.
The specialties were excellent,
chief among which was the serpen-
tine dance, with calcium light effects,
by Cora Warner, and also the illus
trated songs by Harry Ross.

Late Young's Lecture.

LATE Young, editor of the Des
Moines Capital, student, politician
and business man, appeared in new
role last Friday evening when he
lectured at the opera house in this
city, detailing his experiences and
describing his impressions while with
the newspaper correspondents which
accompanied Skaters army to Cuba.
Mr.. Young was able to paint the
picture of his journey well; he is ac-
complished in that respect for the
pallet of his Imagination is so filled
with bright and pleasing colors that
the word painting takes on rosy
hue which gratifies his listeners while
1T instructs them too. A great deal
which Mr.. Young said, in substance
at least, has been by the careful
newspaper reader in the dispatch
columns of his favorite paper-but no
where, we venture, has the citizen
gathered the inspiration nor CLEANED
the assurances which the speaker
was able to impart to his listeners
and which form the meat of his
address.
Was the Spanish war justifed2
How many times has this question
stolen into the minds of the Iowa
citizen! AS Glenwood stood about
the bier of George Elliot two weeks
ago and knew that he would have
been we'll if war had come, how that
hating query came into the thoughtsl
But an hour with Mr.. Young dissi-
pated the notion. 1t was grand
crusade, waged for purpose inspired
by God, and the results of it are
good.
Mr.. Young told of the wondrous
richness of soil and the bountiful
yield of crops (which are met with
only in Cuba and predicted for the
island a grand development under
the direction and through the
energies of the American people. He
went to Cuba skeptic weighing 2.5
pounds but returned from there an
enthusiast and an immune, for he
suffered severe attack of yellow
fever after his return to Des Moines.
The audience which greeted him
was a we'll pleased one, pleased with
what they heard and with the Ladies
Cemetery Association which was re-
sponsible for the affair.

SHORT VISIT TO BE MADE AT CANTON.

Cleveland, O., Aug. S1.-While Presi-
dent Mckinley very much desires to
pay more than brief visit to his old
home in Canton. he finds that the du-
ties of his office are such that he will
be obliged to cut his visit there to q
mere call.
The president will spend couple
Of days in camp at Montauk Point and
Camp Wikoff, so as to correctly inform
himself as to the condition of affairs
and the truth Of the reports that have
been circulated, from personal OBJ
servation and contact with the men.
The presidential party will be at Col.
Myron T. Herrick's residence, The
"0verlook," on Euclid heights, in this
city, until Thursday morning, when
they will leave for Canton.
Big preparations have been made to
receive President and Mrs. McIlin-
ley there by their old friends and neigh
bors and the people of Canton in gen.
eral. 1t was the intention to make
the occasion civic jubilee. All this,
however, will now be reduced in a
measure from the fact that President
Mckinley and party will only be in
Canton for two or three hours, and
will then take train for New York.
Undoubtedly the president will be
given royal welcome during his short
btop-over in Canton.
On the eastern trip, which is part
Of the programme outlined, the presi-
Dental party will hardly stop longer
at New York than will be necessary to
catch train for Camp Wikoff and
