The Governments Treasury Depart
ment Helps Wall Street.


To relieve the stringency in the money
market in New York, the secretary of
the treasury has offered to buy 1926, 900,
600 of government bonds. Russell Sage
is quoted as saying:
81 believe Cages action saved the
financial world from disastrous panic.
mo one who has been in touch with
the business enterprises the past few
months can fail to have realized the
stringency of the money market. Ready
money appeared to be extraordinarily
scarce, and those who had it held or de
manded the highest class securities be-
fore they let co."
When all the facts connected with
Cages bond sales and bond purchases
are made public aud the net loss to the
people footed up, they will compare un-
favorably with the worst work of the
Cleveland administration, and that was
bad enough.

The marvellous growth of the circu-
lation of The Des Moines Leader has
made it necessary for that great news
paper to add to its mechanical equip
ment q mammoth new Goss straight
line printing press, which has capac-
ity of $4,000 papers per hour. This
new press is the largest and most
wonderful printing machine be
tween Chicago and Denver, and
will print, fold, paste and deliver,
counted in bundles, papers of

flattering proof of the immense popu-
larity to which this paper has attained.
The addition of this press gives The

Emperor William is visiting in Eng
land this week, and if the dispatches
from Germany state the facts, the peo-
pie of that country are greatly dis
pleased over the affair. The official
newspapers are striving to make it ap-
pear that the emperor is simply making
a family visit to his grandmother, and
that the trip is wholly devoid of politi.
cal significance. This explanation,
however, seems to have had little or no
effect upon the public, and the extracts
from the leading newspapers show ILL
concealed dissatisfaction.

When the train neAred Ch1eyely,
some miles south of Colenso, a Boer
detachment appeared in its rear and
loosened the rails The attack was
then begun. The engine was reversed,
but, striking the damaged track, two
of the trucks left the rails and were
overturned. Then the object of the
move was apparent, for from kopje
near by came hail of shell from
heavy guns, while Boer riflemen hid
den behind powders anG in the brush
began fusillade on the disconnected
Britons.
Part of the force at once began the
work of repairing the track, while 9TH
| ers engaged the attacking Beers. Many
| fell in this engagement and, the rails
being replaced. an attempt was made
to place all the wounded on the train.
Lieutenant Churchill led in this, but
| the Boer fire continued, wrecking the
| big gun carried by the British and
well-nigh demolishing the engine and
tender.
Leaves Larger Part Behind.
Seeing that total destruction was
certain, the engineer pulled open the
throttle and hurried back to Estcourt
leaving many of the wounded and the
larger part of the troops behind.
Special dispatches from Estcourt
estimate the wounded and missing OF
the armored train contingent at from
100 to $50. 1t is hoped that some es
capped over the veldt and will return
to Estcourt in a few days.

of wounded or regarding the fate OF
those missing. The doctor in charge
