NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Today's stock
market was dull, but flrmer than that OF
yesterday. Many railroads show net
gains of nearly point, and few eX-
coed that figure. A number of the active
irdustrials gained 2@3 points today, and
Pullman closed points higher on the
day. There was an appreciate TelaXa-
ton in the stringency of call money, and
the speculative contingent expressed
hopes of easier condition at an early pc
Rod. This combined with excellent traf-
flc returns from railroads, and the gen.
eral prosperous conditions of business
added to the unWillingness of holders to
part with securities.
Offerings were on a very light scale all
day in spite of the continued high rate
for money up to delivery hour Borrow
ers satisfied their needs early in the day.
and the rate fell to per cent towards
the close Of the market. This invited
rather active buying movement in the
late dealings, and in some cases there
was an urgent demand from shorts, caus-
ing some sudden jumps in prices.
the closing was S6neTdliy llIil, lilOuS II
slightly below the best. Sterling ex-
change at Paris and Berlin made an ad-
ditional advance today to near the gold
export point. In New York rates for
sterling exchange were steady.
Money continues to move from New
York to the interior in quite large
amounts, but the outgo to the subtreas-
ury is somewhat diminished The Octo-
Der taxes in New York. which have been
paid with unusual promptitude, are find
ing their way back into the banks and
a plan is reported to redeem at once, IN
advance of maturity about $12,OOO,G0O OF
New York bonds issued in anticipation
of taxes. The prospect of some relief
thus offered, the continued stiffness Of
the money rate was not much regarded
in the stock market. 1t is not expected,
however, that money will work to an
easy basis for some time to come. Six
per cent is bid for time loans, but very
little is offered on those terms.
The bond market was dull but firm, in
sympathy with stock. Total sales par
value $1,925,OOO Government bonds I'M

dent of Great Bend has prof.
ect to mingle this brine with the
fresh water that will flow from the
river and plant oysters in
the lake. 1t is known, as we have
before suggested, that the oyster
formerly made his home in that
part of the state, and if the con-
ditiOns are favorable like every
body else who leaves Kansas, the
oyster would be glad to return
and settle among us.
Ii the Koen ditch and lake
prove to be the success that the
protector anticipates, and in our
opinion they will, then farms in
Barton county will be revolu-
tiOnized. Instead of big farms,
the land will be cut up into small
tracts and be more carefully cul-
tivated. The farming popula-
tiOn will be doubled at lerst and
probably trebled. The presence
of SO large a body of water will
modify the climate, increase the
humidity and probably result in
an increase of rainfall in that
locality. The lake itself will be
stocked with fish and will be a
favOrite resort of water fowls.
The climate will be especially
desirable for that class of invalids
who cannot endure the light
ness of the mountain atmos-
phere, and KOen's lake may yet
attract the attention of health
seekers from all parts ofthe east.
Every Kansas man ought to
be interested in seeing the man
whose picture adorns the head of
this article and the men who are
associated with him succeed in
their enterprise.

in the language OF Whittier
Crossed the prairies as of old our
fathers crossed the sea-" Nobody
is alive now who has any right
to dispute the proposition even
If it isn't true.
But we are satisfied that it is
true, because nature has left tsome
records that have never been
erased or blotted out. For in
strnce there are rocks Wich were
evidently worn and marked by
the action of waves. There are
here and there petrified shells that
sometime were worn by pre-
historic mOlusks. There are for
nations that geolOgists tell us are
part of deposits left by a large
body of saline water. There are
petrified oyster shells, which can
be picked up by the bushel in parts
of Kansas. These oysters were
stranded here when the first dry
season struck the country and
failed to get away or else they just
simply staid, preferring to die in
Kansas rather than live some
where else. People who are fami-
liar with the bottom of the ocean
tell us that if you could drain the
Atlantic you would find that the
bed isn't a level plain, but thatit
is diversified by lofty mountain
ranges and depressions like the
beds of vast lakes. There are
plateaus and lowlands and all the
varieties of surface under the
waters of the ocean as there are
on the continents not covered by
the briney deep.
When Kansas was covered by
rolling pillows ofwater instead of
rolling billows of grass; when the
'clidastus" and the "tylosauras'
Tipped their fiippers through the
murkey waters and the "ichthy-
oriins" played in the deep which
once covered the ground where
the Kansas politician is now
found lifting up his voice and de
manding recognition at the hands
of the administration, there were
the same relative inequalities in
the ocean bed that there are in
the ocean beds now. One of these
great natural depressions as we
suppose, was found in what is now
Barton county. Long after the
main body of the inland sea had
been dried up and the ramp.
