BIG COST OF THE WAR.
The Nation Has Been Paying at the Rate
of S3,OOO,OOO Per Day.

OF @3,OOO,OOO Per Day.
A recent Washington special to the
New York World says:
The 30 days of the war which the
United States is waging against the
kingdom of Spain have cost this coun-
try about $50, 900, 900. or nearly 3d.
900, 600 day.
The cost of operations in the future
will probably not be SO great, as quite
one-half of the expenditures so far have
been in the way of preparation, the ac-
quirement of warships, guns and equip
ment. The ordinary cost should run
about 81, 900, 900 day. 1t is estimated
that more than 900, 900 persons are &C
lively employed helping the nation 8
land and sea forces to get into fighting
trim. This table, carefully compiled
from the estimates of authorities on the
prices paid, will give an idea OF the ag-
gregate amounts paid by the govern
ment for the various things war has
compelled it to purchase:

Company's Local Agent Has Received

Local insurance circles are agog over the
rumor that J. F. Griffin is contemplating
bringing suit against the Phoenix Assur-

drawing from Kansas, for commissions
amounting to several thousand dollars
The company has been writing the Santa
Fe business, which last year reached $19,-

pany after writing the insurance, has
forwarded the policies to Mr.. Griffin, who
made them operative by his signature as
local agent, returning the policies to the
head officers, who distributed them to the
proper Santa Fe officials.
Mr.. Griffin has been the local agent of
the company for several years, during
which time the amount insured has ex-
ceeded that of last year, which means
that at least $4,000 would be involved in
a suit brought by Mr.. Griffin.

I think this: There ought to be a

have gone over, body and soul, to the

the beau ideal of the trusts. We are
