UNITED STATES BONDS.
Information for Those Wishing to In
vest.

United States bonds are recognized
as the most secure and stable form of
obligation that investors can hold.
They are attractive. not only because
of the absolute security offered. but
because there Is mt all times Il public
market for them on which holders can
quickly sell. They also offer the most
desirable form of collateral If the hold
cr wishes to secure n temporary loan.
The fact that United States bonds are
not subject to taxes of any character
federal. state or municipal-is n valu-
able feature of that form of invest
ment. United States bonds are issued
in both coupon and registered form.
a coupon bond is payable to the
bearer. 1t may be bought and sold
without formality rs freely as any
kind of property and without indOrse-
ments of any kind. Owing to the free
dom of transfer, coupon bonds are usu.
ally preferred by persons who expect
to Eold them but II short time. Their
disadvantage for thc'person who wish
es to make Il permanent Investment
lies in the danger that they might be
lost or stolen. in which case the loss to
the owner would be as complete as
would be the loss of n bank note The
method by which interest is collected
by the holder.
Printed on the same sheet with the
bond is n series of coupons or small
certificates of interest due. which are
so designed that one is cut Off at each
interest period. Each coupon bears
the number Of the bond and shows the
+ date of the coupons maturity. The
holder of n coupon bond. at each inter-
est period. detachcS the coupon due
that day and collects it, The coupons
are payable mt any sub-trcnsury. and
\ may be collected through any bank.
and Will usually be accepted by any
| merchant having bank account. with
whom the holder of the bond has deal
ings. The holder of coupon bond
| may ut any time have it converted into
| n registered bond free of charge.
registered bond is payable to the
| order of the owner. and can only be
transferred by being properly ndorscd
and assigned by the owner. Such as
signmcnt is made by the owner filling
in the blank form on the back of the
pond. ana must be witnessed by some
officer authorized by the regulations of
the treasury Department to witness
| assignments. The owner of the regis
tered bond who wishes to part with If
writes his name on the back of the
, bond in the presence of the officer:
| then the witnessing officer writes his
/ name in its proper place and afiixes an
/ impression of his official seal
The officers who are authorized 10
witness assignments are United
States judge, United States district Mt.

OF six dead nnd six wounded. The 1n-
cessnnt fighting forced upon the ma
rines of Camp McCalla has taught two
lessons which will serve as warnings
to the American army operating In
Cuba, the first being that the Span
iards will cling to guerrilla warfare,
fighting only from ambush, ana the
second that they cannot be relied upon
to respect the law of civilized war,
but will not hesitate barbarously to
mutilate the dead.

Congress Ignores the historical injunc-
ton to prepare for war In time OF
peace.
There are the best of reasons for be-
Iieying that Europe has been astound
ed Mt the alacrity with which results
have been accomplished. not only as
the speedy making OF intelligent and
efficient soldiers. As to the future con-
duct of the war with Spain. already
hopelessly dismembered. there can be
only Improbable speculation. Three
months ago Havana seemed the sole
objective and Santiago was not given
Il thought even rs late as the middle
of May, when, quickly following the
San Juan bombardmcnt. n decision
was reached TO send the army concen-
tratcd on the gulf Immediately to Por-
TO Rico. The eXigencies of the Santi-
ago situation put an end for the time
being TO the Porto Rico project. which
is only now being earnestly revived.
There are no longer any Spanish
fleets to enter the calculations, unless
the Spanish peninsula itself is to be
attacked. The immediate acquisition

of the United States. who Immediately
has checks and envelopes addressed
and In due time each check is mailed
to the address of its owner. The checks
for the more distant points are first
mailed. Interest checks are obliga
tions of the United States. and, of
course, are good everywhere.
Coupon bonds are issued in denomi
nations of $50. 800. $500 and $1,000.
Registered bonds are issued in demon.

INFANT OF SPAIN.

This Is an interesting portrait OF the

royal highness Don Antonio, infant Of
Spain, the portrait having an addition

of contention, Cuba, where he first won
his military spurs. Don Antonio, who

Lake Superior Iron Mines.

There will be shipped from the Lake
Superior iron mines during the coming
season not less than 14,OOO 900
tons of ore, of which fully
one-half will come from the
Minnesota ranges. This prediction
is made by the Duluth Herald after the
most careful investigation and from
estimates obtained from a number of
gentlemen interested on the several
ranges. The allotments made by the
Bessemer Ore association may be taken
as fair indication Of what the Bes-
semer output will be on all the old
ranges, but the probable production of
Mesaba and non-Bessemer ore on the
other ranges must be estimated by the
condition of the iron market, which. in
a measure, will indicate the demand
that is likely to be made. In round
numbers, the output from the several
ranges will be as follows: Vermillion
1,400000 tons; Mesaba, 5000 900 tons.
Gogebic, 100000 tons; Marquette q
100000 tons; Menorinee 1000 900 tons
the total being 14,03U,0OO.

The Cinnamon who work on ranch
