We doubt if there is town the size
of Denison in the state of Iowa, where
the depots are an equal distance from
the business center, that does not have
an up. town Western Union Telegraph
office. The Western Union should
establish an Office up town, the public
is greatly inconvenience at present.
| A person has either to walk to the
depots or else use some phone and leave
message fees around at different places
from where he phones. An Office up
town would greatly popularize the COM
pany and the expense of running such
an Office would be nominal. Will some
one start the ball rolling?

Money to Burn.

"a run on a bank is a funny thing"
said the old banker, who was in a rem
iniscent mood. according to the Detroit
Free Press. "They will start without the
slightest cause, and you never know when
to expect them. It may be only a rumor,
it may be in the air, and the deed is
done. Many a good bank has gone to
the wall simply because there was no way
to know that run was in prospect, and
there are times when the soundest bank
in the world could not stand an unex-
pected run.
"a number of years ago, when I was a
young man, l was cashier of a bank in
the interior of the state. The bank was
in good condition and perfectly sound,
and we did not dream that our credit
would be questioned. But one day run
was started without warning, and inside
of two hours there was a bowling mob
around the bank, and we realized that
we had a serious situation 10 face
"It was simply impossible for US to meet
all the demands, but paid out the funds
that we had on hand, knowing full well
THAI it was a question Of only a few
minutes when we would be obliged to
close.
FINALLY the president of the bank came
10 me and said in low voice:
" How much longer can we hold out7'
i" Not over ten minutes I answered,
wiping the beads OF perspiration from my
brow.
Calmly and deliberately he reached
over to the money ease, picked up a 80
bill, rolled Ii lengthwise, stepped to the
stove and lit 1t. Then, without CULVER
of an eyelid. he produced a cigar bit
off the end and proceeded to light II
from the burning bill.
THAT move saved the bank. The man
to whom at that moment I was hand
ing HE balance Pagped and Than Shovipo
the money back, said he would leave it.
1t was the turn of the tide, and the run
ceased. We didn't even lose the $40 bill,
as the president was careful enough to
see THAI there was enough left to be re-
deemed"

PRESIDENT KRUGER'S STATE
MENTS.
STATE

It ia evident thnt President Kruger OF
the Transvaal Republic expects that the
British will capture Pretoria. In his
statement, published in our dispatches
yesterday, he said that even II Pretoria
should be captured the Beers would still
remain d free people. The inference
from this is that the Beers either intend
to leave the Transvaal in the event OF It's
occupation by the British or retire TO the
smountain Businesses and carry on guer-
lila warfare against the invaders. 1t
would be a very difficult and costly I'M
dertaking for the British 20 hold the
country for long time against the Beers.
They would be a long way from their
base of supplies and it would take
large army to prevent their railroad com
munication from being cut. On the other
hand, the Beers would not have an easy
time maintaining themselves in the noun
tains. Their women and children might
be able to manage the farms and supply
them with food The situation would be
a very difficult one, however, for both the
British and the Beers.
The reports indicate that there is con-
siderable element OF dne BoerS tldt 10
anxious for peace. This element is under
the impression that terms can be obtain
ed from the British which the Beers
would be willing to accept President
Kruger, it is apparent, does not think
that any terms could be obtained that
would leave the Beers their freedom He.
says that documents havs been recently
captured which show that the British
have been preparing for war ever since
1896. The conclusion he draws from that
fact is that the British had determined
long ago to dominate the whole of South
Africa, and that the demands that were
made on the Transvaal government In
regard to the franchise were simply an exs
cuse for making war and conquering the
country ID is evident that President
Kruger is not inclined to make move
ment in the direction of peace. The sit
uation for the Transvaal is serious, but
not sufficiently so to make him despair
of ultimate success.

An Incident in Paris.

Business men who purpose visiting Paris
had better brush up their French a liz
tie; 1t may save time which is money
and many wicked words, says the New
York Tribune well known Wall street
man the other day had been spending the
entire afternoon writing, giving his rep
resentatives most important instructions
about a big corner he was preparing for
the market, and which meant matter of
800, 900 to him. Looking at his watch he
found he had just time to get his letters
off by taking them himself 10 the chief
postofice. Downstairs he went, two at
time, jumped into q carriage and told
the man to drive him to the poste at a
gallop. Off they went at grand pace
but by an unknown way, and arrived with
just one minute to spare. Great was his
surprise to find himself taken care of by
two policemen and .ushered into the pres
ence of their chief. The more he tried
to explain the worse he fioundered. The
coachman came up and only made mat
tiers worse. The Wall street man had
long lost the post and his temper and his
polite vocabulary, and was within an ace
of being sent to Clarendon as a mailman
when the clew to the mystery was found
He had told the coachman to drive his
hardest Eau poste' (the police station),
instead of "a Ia poste" (the postoffice)
Apologies all around, but that corner
never came off.

Whether it is intentional or not, nobody

Gatesa Gambler.

The much discussed John w. Gates of
the American Steel and Wire Company,
was at one time a salesman In the employ
of the Laughlin Nail Company Of Martins
Ferry, o., says the New York Commercial.
This was several years before he became
associated with the Illinois Steel Company,
of which he was later made president.
Although comparatively poor, he was a
plunger in one sense of the word, for he
was always anxious to flip a coin. He
could toss so gold piece with any person
who had one to toss, and was always will
ling to hazard little In this way.
Managers of the Laughlin Nail Company
well remember Mr.. Gates occasional visits
to the main office when he was salesman.
At such times he constantly tried to in
duce clerks or officials to toss coins with
him. Very often he succeeded. If a $40
gold coin was not to be had Gates would
just as cheerfully meet the pile owned
by the other man, and tipped dollars,
halves, quarters, and very often the game
got down to a dime or five-cent piece
limit.
Before Gates grew to be such a factor in
the Illinois Steel Company, he was it is
said, plunger on the stock market. For
years he manipulated In wheat and pork
and was hardly ever without an interest
in the transactions of the day.

SOME OF RoosEvELrs FIGURES.

Gov. Roosevelt visited Illinois the other
day and delivered Grant birthday ora
ton, and now some of the newspapers
would have their readers believe that he
gathered facts and figures respecting the
political situation sufficient TO convince
the managing directors of the Republican
party that there is not shadow of a
doubt of the triumphant reelection of
Mr.. Mckinley. 1t seems that he went
10 Washington and exhibited these figures
TO the President for the purpose of con-
vincing him that he is not particularly
in need of popular running mate to help
him win the election. There has been
strong pressure on Gov. Roosevelt 10
accept the nomination for Vice President
on the ticket with Mr.. Mckinley The
President and many of the party leaders
wanted him to accept IL. He doesn't want
the honor. however, and doesn't dntend TO
take II. He has set his heart on a second
term as Governor of New York. And 1t
seems that che Republican leaders of that
state think he should be the party's can
didate for Governor, because the outlook
for the Republicans is not as promising
as they Would IKE 10 nave IL. 1t IS adj
mitted that the Democrats stand very
good chance Of electing their state ticket
But 1t would be very interesting to know
how Gov. Roosevelt got sufficient figures
and facts while in the West, to satisfy
himself that the President is not in need
OF a popular running mate. No doubt he
met few politicians in Chicago, and other
Western cities who told him their impress
sons of the political situation but where
could he have obtained anything at oil

thing at this time respecting the outcome
of the presidential campaign on which
90 base an opinion that is at all valuable?
1t is doubtful If it is. Therefore very 1T
tie importance is TO be attached to Gov.
Rooseyelt's figures. They may cheer tho

PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

The nomination Of Mr.. Bryan for Presi-
dent by the National Populists at the
Sioux City convention does not call for any
extended comment. His nomination was
expected. 1t has been the understanding
all along that the National Populists
would support the Democratic ticket, and
ahe nomination of Mr.. Bryan was in ac-
cordance with that understanding
Mr.. Wharton Barker has been the
presidential nominee of the Middle-of-the-
Road Populists ever since Sept. 6, 1898
They met in Cincinnati at that time. and
nominated Mr.. Barker for President and
Ignatius Donnelly for Vice President
Their action yesterday, therefore, in re-
spect to Mr.. Barker, was simply a ratifi-
cation of their previous action.
The nomination OF Mr.. Barker in 1898
made very little impression on the coun-
try, and the fact that he was nominated
again yesterday is likely to be forgotten
within a few days. except by the members
of his party.
Up to o'clock this morning no Informal
ton had been received from either conven-
ton as to what action, IL any, had been
taken in respect 10 the vice presidential
nominations.

Not Work, But Worry.

From the Somerville Journal.
II is not the work. but the worry
That wrinkles the smooth, fair face,
That blends gray hairs with the dusky,
And robs the form Sf its grace;
That dims the luster and sparkle
OF eyes that were once so bright,
But now are heavy and troubled,
With a weary, respondent light.
II is not the work, but the worry,
That drives all sleep away,
As we toss and turn and wonder
About the cares of the day.
Do we think of the hands hard labor
Or the steps of the tired feet?
All! no, but we plan and ponder
How to make both ends meet
II is not the work, but the worry,
That makes us sober and sad,
That makes us narrow and sordid
When we should be CHEEKY and glad.
There's a shadow before the sunlight,
And ever a cloud in the blue,
The scent of the roses is tainted,
The notes of the song are untrue.
It Is not the work, but the worry,
That makes the world grow old,
That numbers the years of its children
Ere half their story is told;
That weakens their faith in heaven
And the wisdom of Gods great plan,
Ali It's not the work, but the worry,
That breaks the heart of man.
