DUE TO THE FARMERS

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
an an article regarding the prosperity
prevailing throughout the country says:
There is an impression prevailing that
the improved business conditions are
owing solely to the large expeditures
OF the government made necessary by
the war. This only partially explains
the situation, as prosperity is alto
gether too general and too widely diff
fused to support the suppOsition that an
expenditure of a hundred millions had
brought about the roseate condition Of
affairs.
There has been, for instance, a buoy
ant stock market, and as a general
thing stocks are not buoyant in times
Of war, nor does governmental action in
f1uence bulls and bears in any striking
way. Crop prospects have had their
influence, and as the outlook is good,
stocks boom. Another thing, the prices
for cereals are far from low, and the
foreign demand good, as the condition
OF the European crops is now up to
what has been represented.
The main reason for prosperity now
is found in the results Of last year s
efforts by the agricultural classes. 1t
was an exceptional year, and it came at
a good time. They made money hand
over fist as they say; they got out OF
debt and had a surplus. Now they have
another good crop year in sight, or al
most so, and they are spending more
freely. Repairs are needed about the

ONE-ARMED CYCLIST.
Stevenson of Detroit Steers Quint to
Worlds Record

Detroit, Aug. 15.-Steady nerve, great
muscular strength in the arms and excel
lent judgment are the three requisites
necessary to steer multicycle about BIZ
cycle track This is why only the most
expert and coolest of the professional
wheelmen are chosen to sit on the front
seat of one of the fast express "quints''
in a paced contest. AS the size of the
track is diminished the danger is in
creased
W. H. Stevenson of Detroit is a marvel
to all the professionals. He has but one
arm, and, in spite of that, not only rides
a single wheel in sprint races, but has
Steered a triplet on a quarter of a mile
track in a fierce contest against time.
The other riders on the three-Sea ted ma
chine had the most implicit confidence in
the steersman and bent over the handle
bars and pushed on the pedals for a
worlds record. The track was banked
high at the turns and the slightest slip on
SteVenson's part meant terrific plunge
across the track and probably serious in
jurieS to each of three men.
Not once did he finch and as the big
machine reached the turns, he gripped
the handlebar a little tighter with his
strong fingers, and dashed at less than a
tWO-minute clip around the sharp curve
The quarter of a mile was made in %
seconds, the worlds record for the dis
lance. Stevenson was cOmplmented by
all the riders who saw the performance
upon his perfect management of the ma
chine. Had he not -steered perfectly, it
would have been out of the question for
the crew to have established such a re-
markable record.

SHELTERS TO RESUME.
Old Time Prosperity Promised for
Pittsburg, Kan, Again.

Pittsburg, Kan, Aug 15-The S. H.
LanyOn smelling works of this city,
which have been idle for several
months because they were leased to the
CherOkee-Lanyon syndicate, will be
started up in a few days. The syndi-
cate having quit and grown tired of the
combine business, several Smelter
plants in southeastern Kansas will in a
few months revert again to their for
mer owners.
S. H. LanyOn, the owner of the smell
tiers, died since the plants were leased
to the combine, and the heirs of the es-
tate are not content with the annual
rental they are getting for the property
during the life of the contract with the
syndicate, and since they have the op
ton of cance1ing the contract, they
have decided to do so and commence
manufacturing spelter. The several
blocks of furnaces will be fitted up by
September and the fires kindled. The
shelters will be operated under the
management of A. K. Lanyon. 1t is al
so rumored that he will biuld fires in
what is known at the St. Louis smelter,
No. II, which has also been idle for
some time. The starting UP of these
plants will give employment to about
$50 men, and Pittsburg will very soon
take on the same prominence in the
smelling industry it had prior to the
deals by which the syndicate assumed
control and drew the fires in several
furnaces

STAR-sPANGLED BANNER.

Before the battles at Manila and San
tiagO many foreign naval experts
thought that from the lack of homo
geneous nationality among the enlisted
men in our navy there would be miss
ing, when fight came, that spirit of
unanfmity-"tea teamwork they call it on
the foot ball field-which is essential to
true courage and victory. That they
feature of the battles has been the
courage and fearIessness of the men
under fire. This is well shown by the
way in which nearly all the men of
SIMPSONS feet volunteered to go on
the Merrimac with Hobson to almost
certain death. Constantly recurring
victories has naturally brought about a
great deal of enthusiasm among our
fighters. Probably one of the most pic
turesque examples of enthusiasm dis
played in this war is shown in the il
lustration of W. A. Rogers in Harper's

night that his father was dying at HUI

NEW FOOTBALL RULES.
Goal From Touchdown Will Count
But One Point

Boston. Aug. 15.-Alexander- Afoffatt of
Princeton, Walter Camp of Yale, r. D.
Wrenn of Harxard, John T. Bell of Penn
syIVania and Paul Dashiel of Annapolis,
comprising the foot bali rules committee of
the eastern universities, have completed
their labors and asked to be discharged.
While the report in detail has not been
made public, it is known that the one
radical change made is in the matter of
scoring Hereafter only one point will
be allowed for a goal made from touch
down. the object being to increase the
value of a drOpkick from the field and to
develop a feature of the game which, up
to this time, has been partially neglected.
Outside of this one change in the mat
ter of scoring, all other changes are pure
" of an explanatory nature, consisting
of foot notes and marginal references in
the rules 1t was argued that the rules
were right in the main, but often miscon-
strued, and violated in the spirit if not
the letter, of the law. BY making mar
ginal references and outlining fully the
exact nature of the rule, it is believed Of
ficials can better hold players to the rules
prescribed. The committee considered at
length the question of mass play, and
many arguments were advanced for and
against the present rule, but after care
full thought and study it was decided not
to change it, and what in the minds Of
many people was the main object of the
meeting was not accomplished.

DOES INJURY TO PEORIA.
Canal Threatens to Shut Off River
Navigation to st. Louis.

Peoria, Ill, Aug. 15.-The city is much
agitated over the probability of being en-
tirely cut off from the lower river navi-
cation within few months About a year
ago the Farm creek canal was completed
against strong protests. for it was evident
at that that time that the sand and other
washings from it would form a bar in the
Illinois and interfere with navigation.
The canal commissioners filed bill
against the village of East Peoria to re-
strain it from turning water into the canal
and later amendment was filed to have
the water turned into the old creek chan
mel instead of into the canal. Judge Pu-
terbaugh decided that the jurisdiction of
the canal commissioners did not extend
over the Illinois river and the case was
dismissed so far as his court was CON
cerned.
The comm ssiOners took an appeal to the
appellate court, where Judge Puterbaugh's
decision was affirmed. In the meantime
the bar has grown until it covers a very
large area and now at that point there is
very little more than enough room for a
packet to pass through. It is said that
few more months will make navigation
between Peoria and St Louis and inter-
mediate DOintS impossible.
