NORTHWESTERN PROSPERITY.

The increase in the value of horses. cattle, and sheep in the group of north western states, comprising Minnesota. Iowa, Kansas Nebraska. South Da- kOta, and Wisconsin, as shown in the census reports. is from $367 .9769 92O in 1896 to S593, ,19S, ,S29 in 1900. In this great jump Nebraska is several lengths ahead. for she has increased in her wealth in domestic animals, excluding swine, from s4S, 922 ,9O1 in '96 to $102, ,145,- 104 in 1900.
 Calculating that the farmers of Ne braska comprise a population of 1,00O,- 900, and counting five to a family, this gives the average value of horses, mules, milk cows, and other cattle. and sheep to family of over $500 in 1900, as compared with an average of less than $250 per family in 1896. Yet MT. Bryan and his followers persist that the farm CT of Nebraska has no part in the pros perity of the country since the election of 1896.
 There is little doubt that the same ratio of increase will be found when the census reports are completed in the other species of property owned by the farmers of Nebraska, showing that they have more than doubled their cap ital in the space of four years. If that is not prosperity we shall have to go far to find anything that comes within that cription.-Ncbraska State Jour nal

MONARCHs FAvORETE JEWELS

Monarchs, like other mortals, ire quently favor various pieces of jewelry. William the Second to None invariably wears tiny bracelet hidden by his cuft. The czar has a repeater worth 4,oOO rubles, of which he is very fond. The youthful Queen Wilhelmina dis likes jewels and restricts herself to d solitary diamond in each ear. Marie Christine of Spain changes her rings five or six times a day, possessing as she does no fewer than 2I0. The late King Humbert always wore scapI- lary chain of platinum. King Leopold of Belgium delights in a collection of ancient timepieces, che of the most val uable being a masterpiece which be- longed to Marie Antoinctte. The sul- tan encases himself in a chain shirt of gold and silver. while his hands are covered with rings of all shapes. The pope, in spite of his old age, is still very proud of his beautiful hands, and adorns his left hand by a solitary sap phire,-New York Mail and Express.

Acc. an increase of S1,79S, ,5O6,5S9. In the savings banks the deposits were in 1899 $2 23O, S66 954, against $1 ,265 45O. .416 ir 1894. The average deposit in all banks for 1894 was S52O and in 1899 $6O2
 The average per capita deposit of the whole population of the United States men, women and children, was in 1899 $61, whereas in 1894 it was $40.
 Mir Bryan denies that the people prosper; he says the gain all goes to the trusts and that higher prices run away with increased earnings. These i figures about the number of bank de- positors and the increase in the depos- it's absolutely disproves what Bryan says. Be it remembered that only the surplus of a mans earnings beconl $ a deposit in the bank after he and his family have had their wants and com forts supplied and after other invest ments have been made. The bank de- posits are only a small part of the wealth of the average citizen. But they prove the people and not the trusts only have been getting money.
 One of Bryan's favorite notions fs that there Is a money trust, few men holding. issuing and withdrawing money as they please. Well, the real money trust is here. Its headquarters are in the savings banks of the United States. Its bosses are the American people. Its operations not only reach into every state and county of the Union. but are extending in foreign lands, like England, Russia, Germany and Mexico, lending enormous sums to nations and to all borrowers whose credit is good.
 Take another view of these savings banks in particular. In 1896 those in stitutions had 5,OS5,494 depositors, whose deposits amounted to s1,9O7 ,156, 271; in 1897, the first year of the Me Kinley administration, the number Of depositors rose to 5,2Ol,132 and their deposits increased to S1,939, 976, ,035; in 1898 the depositors numbered 5,3S5, ,476 and the deposits amounted to s2,065, ,631. 29S; in 1899 there were 5.6S7, SIS deposit ors and their deposits reached the CO., lossal total of S2,29O, ,966,a54. while on June 90, 1900, the depositors numbered 6,202,779 and their deposits aggregated the almost inconceivable sum of s2,430, 561, ,29O. Here was an increase of 514,961 depositors and gain. of $2OO,194,S$6 in a single year-a record which has no parallel in the annals of national growth. This is the true money trust controlled by the masses of the people.

The corporation bugabOO was effec- tually purctured by Colonel Christy at the meeting Tuesday of the water stor age committee. The colonel said he was not afraid of corporations-in fact, that he was a corporation man. The corporation did not differ in any essential from the individual, for it was made up of individuals and it was ruled by human nature. He declared his belief that a\contract eouid>be drawn between the water users of this valley and the canal companies which would be fair to both and which would guar antee the rights of the water users if storage reservoir were built. If some of the doubting Thomases who look with fear upon corporations would take the trouble to talk with Colonel Christy on the water storage mattei perhaps they might be enlightened.

MONUMENT TO A MODEL.

Thousands of persons will admire the figure of Justice that will be placed on the new municipal building in St. Paul. It is the figure of a young girl, and will stand as a monument to her beauty and recall her tragic end.
 This monument which is by Daniel French, the sculptor. was modelled af- ter Julia A. FleeZe, known to artists and sculptors as the most beautiful child in New York" This lovely girl died today from poison.
 Her love of admiration led her to elope with a boy, then to go to artists studios and pose. Her changed manner of life finally led her to acquire the opium habit. Her husband and her relatives declare that her death was due to accident. The police and coro- ner say she is a suicide. This last be- lief is based on the finding of an empty bottle that had contained morphine. The poison had been purchased in Phil adelphia.
 Julia was taken to the New York hospital from her home on Saturday afternoon, after her husband, Charles Fleeze, IS years old, had found her un- conscious and dying.
 The young couple eloped last April and were married by Dr. Houghton at the Little Church Around the Corner"
 All today the boy sat by the body of his girl wife.
 She was the most beautiful girl in New York" he said, and I wish she had not been. Had she been less beau tiful she would still be living"
 Julia will be buried on Tuesday. Artists for whom she posed will attend her funeral and will follow her to the graVe.-New York Letter.

The fact that so large a number of the miners in the anthracite coal re- gions have gone out makes a chance for peace there, at all events. It is only when a con siderable number refuse to join in the strike that serious disturbances are to be looked for. Perhaps it is jus, as well that the strikers are unanimous while they are about it.

A serious effort is going to be made to repeal the prohfbitory law of Yer mont, too, but it isn't likely to "et much beyond the threatening stage.
