question that prominent financial house

Tennessee Coal and Iron was tumbled
from par TO below % yesterday, and the
closing price was only fractionally above
the lowest The break seemed to have
been caused by the assertion that the plan
for the retirement OF the preferred stock

position and may fail. The plan. as hero
tofore outlined in this column. is that the
holders of the preferred stock shall accept
common stock for It, and for their cumu-
lative dividend rights as well Nothing

proposed exchange, but ii is supposed that

There is much gossip over the position
Of the bear leader, Mr.. Keene. in Third
Avenue. From his own admissions. and
from his recent attitude toward the stock,
there seems TO be no reason TO doubt that
he is for once on the wrong side of the
market. 1t is stated on excellent authority
that he holds 10000 shares or more,
bought many points above par, and that
he is still buying it. Mr.. Keen is charac-
terized in Wall Street as slippery" and
it is possible that there may be something
more than this simple fact in his relation
TO the stock. but popular theory very
strongly credits the story. Mr.. Curtis,
formerly an officer of tie Standard Oil
Trust, is also supposed to own an immense
block of the stock. The story regarding
this gentleman is that. trading on his
former connection with the Standard Oil
people, he secured an immense block of
the stock, and of Leather common as well.
expecting to deceive people into believing
that the trust was behind him. Mr.. keene
may have been in this plan or he may have
been victim of il. At any rate Il failed.
1t is never safe to prophesy defeat for Mr..
Keene, but there is every reason to be-
lieve that he will be less rich when he
finishes with Third Avenue stock.

THE THOUGHT MARKET.

There is nothing so much in demand
in this age as ideas. A ready and
active market stands open for any form
of advanced thought. New express
sions, original applications, expressive
SYNONYMS, appropriate comparisons
and original witticisms are eagerly
caught up, copied, reapplied and in
geniously counterfeited in all the
varied walks OF life. 1t has often been
said that "there's nothing new under
the SUM-" and while it may be true
that nothing is purely and distinctive
ly new, yet as new clothes make new
men, so new applications make rev
thoughts. Many things are so old
and so long buried in the intellectual
debris OF ages that their appropriate
resurrection makes them appear new
The editorial writer Of experience
and ability finds no difficulty in COM
posing ~ readable article if suitable

writer can produce the language tc
paint an attractive picture if the sub

something progressive, and tits TO
this reason that with his limited re
sources, the newspaper writer Otter

PREPARE FOR HARVEST.

With Chicago wheat at $50 cents
and the market on the jump; with
the crops Of Minnesota and North
Dakota sadly injured, and those OF
other Eastern states only average, it
is evident that once the grain is har-
vested no anxiety need be felt for a
market and that good prices will pre-
vail. With India's ravage of famine,
Argentine's fields barren, drouth-
stricken Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska
and Kansas, and the numerous wars,
it can be expected that a clamor for
wheat will soon arise.
Now Eastern Washington with her
increased acreage and enormous yield,
must rise to the occasion. 1t is I'M
perative that the farmer plan ahead
the work before him. In recent years
thousands of bushels of wheat have
been lost through early fall rains and
the farmer neSlecting to prepare fol
harvest. The owner Of wheat field:
should lose no time harvesting once
the grain ripens. The farmer should
organize for harvest; get his machinery
in the field, build his sheds, granarie:
and warehouses, and secure his help
Already it is said there will be 4
dearth of machinery and ,harvesl
laborers. Adams county cannot afford
to lose u bushel OF wheat when the
export demand promises to be so gen
eral. Don't wait for your neighbor tc
come to the rescue. The farmer car
not afford to be short OF machinery
and help when the grain is ripe. He
can not afford to have the grade of his
harvested wheat lowered by careless
methods OF housing the product. |
the wheat raiser has neglected to pre-
pare for harvest he has yet time t.
fully organize his forces, build hi
sheds and engage his machinery.

TO AWAKEN CHINA.

The Chinese are to fight the world !
Three years ago Japan sent her army
through the heart OF China, scattered
the native soldiers armed with bows
and arrows to the four winds, and
came out victorious.
For years China has been an eye
sore to civilization. She has grimly
persisted in keeping out all things
foreign, preierring to subsist on pork
and rice. She has resisted improve
ments and fought those who in
spirit of iriendliness sought to aid her,
with cunning, malicious and cruel
heartlessness. This once highly civil
lied and powerful nation has sunk
into legarthy from which there
seems to be no awakening. They
knew less than their fathers centuries
ago, except of brutality and crime.
Years of labor in an attempt to educate
them, in loving missionaries, who in
the service of God, banished them
selves from happy homes to enter a
strange and hostile nation, amid a
slothful and degraded populace, and
endeavored with unselfish devotion
to civilize and Christianize them has
been repaid by destroying property,
butchering and robbing missionaries
under the protection Of the govern
ment. And because nations took ex-
ceptions to her mode of appreciation,
China is to fight the world.
Poor China.
AS nation she commands sympa-
thy, but the unparalleled obstinacy
and stubborness exhibited in hel
heather citizens is nauseating, and
the present conflict will prove boon
even if the empire should crumble
because of eliminating these condi'
tions.
The Acknowledged and swarthy-skin
ned celestials must now accept the
proffers OF assistance, 400, 1000, 900 souls
to awaken.
