Mr.. Weiss, who came here yester-

cult of theatricals, for the purpose
of leasing Hardin's new opera house
closed a deal this morning for a two

to be a good deal for Mr.. Hardin
and the city, as well as the Green
wall people. Mr.. Hardin's expert
ence as a manager does not run
back very far, and in these days of
consolidation and management, un-
less he stood in with the circuit he
would have to put up big guaran-
tee to get first class attractions
here, while under the circuit rules,
all first class shows will be stopped
off here, coming into or leaving
Texas. We are benefited in the
deal all around, as Mr.. Hardin will
get good rent from his house

bill troupes and manage it himself

Kansas Cliff DWellers.

The most novel school room in the
United States is probably in centra
Kansas where pupils meet regularly
in cave in huge cliff alongside the
Smoky Hill river. The cliff is near
Kanopolis and is covered with Indian
signs carved deep in its rocky sides.
1t is sixty feet high and the huge
caves near the base have been divided
into rooms by rock partitions. In
one Of them the district school has
been kept and the walls are adorned
with maps and charts. In an adjoin'
ing room is a spring and this is util-
lied for milk room by the owner of
the place. Another room is living
room and sleeping room in summer.
Doors have been built at the opening
and the whole furnishes a comforta.
BILE quarters at all times Of the year.
The people who live on the place and
the pupils who attend the school are
known for many miles around as
"the cliff-dwellers" and the name
seems to have been well earned.

Some Congressional Wisdom.

1t is decided pleasure to read
congressional speech that is neither
dull nor embarrassing. Representa-
tive Hamilton Of Michigan can make
a speech that is worth perusing. Hi
gives out epigrams and philosophy
that are worth thinking about. Here
are few from an address he made
Friday in the house:
There Is no doubt that the du.l
from the wheels Of some peoples car
riages is more annoying than that ol
others
"Human nature is about the same
in its fundamental outlines from q
dollar day up"
"Let us not be self-righteous be-
cause we are hard up"
There is really no piety in being
poor"
ITO pull down and destroy enter
prise gives no man days work ex-
cept the agitator and the demagogue.
MANY people mistake envy for
political economy"
"There will probably never come
time when the moral regeneration Of
mankind can be accomplished by leg
islation."
"a bible class and the committee
Of ways and means have few points Of
resemblance"
"The legislative oath Of office &C.
tually performs no supernatural func-
ton, confers no mantle OF wisdom or
prophecy, although some gentlemen
seem to suspect this Of themselves. y"
"The laborer never received higher
wages for shorter days than now;
never went home to better home
than the American home; never was
better fed and better clothed than
now, and never had more time and
opportunity for reading and mental
development than now"
"Neither can 1t be denied that ev.
erything in our markets, from pin
to locomotive, from a pair OF shoes
to a suit Of clothes, has more Of grace
and is more scientifically fitted to
human needs than ever BEFORE"
III the law should undertake to
keep prices down for the benefit Of
buyers, it ought to keep them up for
the benefit Of sellers; and inasmuch
as every citizen is a seller as well as a
buyer, he illustrates in his own proper
person the impossibility Of such a
law"
"God made men different here, and
we are told the difference
will be still more marked"
olives and Lazarus left many de-
scendants, and in the whirling years
the rich have begged and beggars
have become rich. Care can never
be legislated out Of the world nor
happiness be legislated into the
world"

association at Abilene will be OF more
than ordinary interest both to the
bankers and business men OF the
state.
The mode Of handling the funds Of
the state will be taken up and a bill
probably outlined, which will be pre-
scented at the next session OF the leg.
islature. A mode Of handling the
cattle business OF the state, so that
the Kansas City banks will not reap
two or three profits off every trans
action will also be discussed.
The bankers OF the state at large
are not satisfied with the present
mode Of handling the state funds.
There is always an average balance
Of over 100000. This is deposited
in the banks Of Topeka, generally, in
the name Of the state treasurer, and
the state does not receive any bene-
fit whatever from this idle money.
The banks, it is true, pay interest
on the deposits but not to tbe state.
Mr.. c. Q. Chandler, president of
Kansas National bank Of Wichita, in
speaking Of the matter said:
"The proposition is that the state
advertise for bids every year for the
handling OF the states funds. The
bids will be made open to any bank
in the state and those who offer to
pay the largest rate Of interest will
be given the money. For convent
ence sake the bids will be for a speci-
fled amount, like one.tenth or one
twentieth Of the total amount.
"In order to make the amount alb
solutely safe the banks which are the
successful bidders, will be compelled
TO deposit with the state treasurer
an equal amount Of municipal, town
ship or county bonds. No bonds to
be accepted where the county, town.
ship or municipality has bonds out
standing for greater amount than
five per cent Of Its assessed valuation.
"By following this plan the State
will receive large income from its
surplus funds; it would be absolutely
protected from loss, and q market
will be provided for an immense
amount Of good Kansas bonds on the
home market. The State and the
people will profit by such an arrange
ment and few people would not reap
rich returns from the States money.
"The bankers will also propose a
new mode for handling cattle paper.
At present the banks in the eastern
part Of the State have large SURPRISES.
In order to invest this idle money
proftably they 60 to Kansas City and
buy cattle paper from the commission
firms. The commission men in return
obtain their money to buy the paper
from the Kansas City banks. The
banks in the cattle districts Of western
Kansas handle every year many times
The amount Of cattle paper they can
take care OF. They dispose of it to
Ihe banks in Kansas City. By reason
'f this method Of doing business the
Kansas City banks make two or three
profits off every transaction in cattle
oaper
"The idea is to have the banks in
EASTERN Kansas which have idle money
make their wants known to the secre-
AIRY Of the State Bankers association.
rhe western banks which have cattle
PAPER to dispose of are expected to
lotify the secretary and the inter-
hange Of cash for paper can be &C,

Veterans Of the civil war are dying
off at the rate Of about 81 per cent a
year. The commissioner Of pensions,
Mr.. Evans, estimates that there are
about 1926, 900 survivors Of the civil
war. OF this number there we're on
the pensions rolls last year 724,467.
During the year 24,7S7 pensioned
veterans died. This number is
slightly more than 81 per cent As
suming that the death rate among
those not pensioned is the same as
among the pensioners, the total num-
Der of veterans who died during the
year would be about SO,S55. Com
missioner Evans estimates that the
average age Of the veterans who still
survive is about SO years. The last
survivor Of war Of 1912 died last sum-
mer, seventy.fve years after the close
of the war. At the same rate there
will be a few survivors Of the civil
war still living in 1850.

The Daily States of Monday says
that sin less than one minute after
Abe report on the cotton crop, as
prepared by Statistician Hyde, of
the Agricultural Department at
Washington, was posted in the Cot
ton Exchange, cotton fell one-half
cent per pound. At noon it had
only regalned Is points above the
opening. The reading of the report
was heard by as many cotton men
and brokers as could crowd on the
floors Of the Exchange. There was
great excitement and the keenest in.
terest manifested. Computation
shows that the fall of a half cent
per pound, or 81. so per bale, means
exactly decline of s25, $50, 900 on
the entire. crop of 10000 bales.
This decline was made in less than
q minute, thus conveying the wond.
erful effect of the report, which was
in itself a very short document.
