FAVoRS PAPER CURRENCY.
Charles =. Commits Argument on the
Lowering Bill.

Charles n Conant. of Boston, author
of several economic works. was before
the House Committee on Banking yes
terday and made an argument in favor of
giving greater GeXibility to the paper
currency He believed the passage OF Mr..
Coverings bill would be an important
and benefc ial step in that direction.
1t was of great Importance, Nr. COnant
said. to oTf,s nize the credi system of the
country upon a basis of such economy
and efficiency that American bankers and
exporters could compete successfully with
their rivals in foreign markets This
could be done by putting the standard be-
yonG question, was proposed in an-
other measure reported by the commit
tee. and by permitting banks to issue
currency and credit with the greatest
freedom consistent with safety. BY this
means, discount rates would be lowered
and manufacturers would be able to con-
duet their business at less cost and lay
their goods down in foreign markets at
lower rates than if the monetary system
of the country were organized upon
clumsy and inefficient basis
The difference between the rate charged
for money, other things being equal. Mr..
Ccnant pointed out. might make the Diff
ference between command OF a given mar
ket Tor American products and complete
SURRENDERED that market to the merchants
of other nations. operating under bet
ter organized and more flexible credit
system. Such a handicap upon Ameri an
industry would react upon the demand
for labor and rates of wages and might
preve a serious detriment to American
labor. The benefits Of such a measure as
that proposed by Mr.. Lowering it was
declared, would be especially felt in the
1rl,.
ed and the use Of other forms OF credit
than hank notes was less general than
in the commercial cities Of the North
east. The South would gain in financial
independence by the ability OF their local
banks to increase their note issues when
the cotton crop was gathered and dur
ing the entire crop moving season.

SWEET EATERS.
Way to Correct cniIdrcn's Ia

Way To Correct Childrcu's TaStc.
Sometimes children become willful ana
refuse nourishing food, demanding SWEETS
candy, ice cream, etc. much to their deL-
riment. 1t is a great help in such cases
to auve food that is naturally sweet aad
attractive. a case in Philadelphia will
illustrate.
The daughter OF Mrs. NJ L. searles,
living at 1890 Miiiiin Street, was a delicate
child from infancy and had been INDUCED
in many things. She gradually got thin
ner and more fretful daily refusing food
other than sweets. etc, finally contract
ing whooping cough, which undermined
her health 10 such an extent that her
attending physicians agreed that her
cough had developed into bronchial Ca
tarrh, and that only a short time you'd
ensue before consumption would relieve
her sufferings.
In despair, the childs aunt vas sent
for, and knowing the wonderful nutritiVe
value OF Grape Nuts food. she prepared
come and induced the little one to eat IT,
At the first taste she said: "Oh, auntle,
this is so nice, want some more" From
that time the child acquired an appetite
and began to improve. She was fed on
GrapeNuts steadily until now she Is a
perfectly healthy, strong child, attends
the Girls Grammar School, and Is
bright and apt pupil.

A DEMAND FOR ECONOMY.
The River and Harbor Bill Likely
to Die in the Senate.

The River and Harbor Appropriation bill
is in some danger of defeat, so 1t was said
last evening. According to the story, Sem
ators Allison. Hale, and Aldrieh notified
the members of the Senate Committee
yesterday that unless they used the prun-
ing knife on the bill they would hold ii up
in the Senate and talk ii to death. AS a
result Of the warning, so it was said. the
Commerce Committee tomorrow will go
over the bill and make a horizontal cut OF
81 per cent on the last appropriation and
a similar cut on the appropriation for
the continuing contract system. The bill,
which was practically completed Friday
evening by the committee. carried s67,-
000,0 ,000 in round numbers. an increase Of
s. 000. 900 over the bill as passed by the
House. Even at that most of the House
items in the bill were cut in half The
increase made was the result of the de-
mands of individual Senators. The bill
will probably be reported 70 the Senate
Wednesday.

CoNFEREES FAR AFART.
Little Chance of Agreement on the
War Tax Reduction bill.

The conferees on the War Tax Reduc-
tion bill were in conference yesterday
afternoon for almost two hours and on
adjournment were as far apart as ever.
The House conferees refused TO agree to
the Senate's reduction on beer and manu-
factured tobacco at the expense of the
stamp tax duties that had been stricken
of by the House. and the managers or the
part of the Senate declined to accept the
provisions OF the House bill on any con
promise suggested by the House confer
ees.
One of the Democratic members said
last night that from the present outlook
he did not believe there could be any
agreement and further expressed his opn-
ion that the Republicans did not desire
the reduction bill to become q law. There
appeared from his point of view. to be
no common ground upon which the Repub-
lican managers for the two houses could
meet.

MISSION FEAST.
One of the Largest Church Gather
ings Ever Known in Our City.

There was gathering of church
members at the fair grounds last Sun
day which surpassed any religious dem
onstration ever witnessed in our city.
It was Mission Feast given under the
auspices of the St Paurs and st. Ste
phen's Lutheran Evangelical churches
of this city, and comprised the congre-
cations of many of the churches of that
denomination in the county, and it is
estimated that fully 5000 people were
in attendance. h-s
The clergymen who took part in the
exercises were: Revs. L. Kehle, Co
lumbus; F. Kupfer, wife and son, Mil
waukeei Otto Lauxmann, Marshfield;
Otto Ringle, Edgar, and H. Retter,
Taegevllle.
The ladies of the two congregations
in this city arranged for meals to be
-Sereef ini Agricultural hall, in whRh
400 can be seated at one time. Over
5000 people sat down to meals in this
building, allfree. <
Rev. Werhahn had charge of the fore
noon s6rvices, which consisted of a
sermon at 1915 o'clock by the Rev. L.
Kehle, who was followed by the Rev. F.
Kqpfer
The afternoon services were in charge
of Rev. Schaer and at $50 the Rev Otto
Ringle preached a sermon; as Mr.. Rim
gle is Wausau boy many were present
to hear him. 1t is said that his sermon
was a. very fine one and excellently
delivered Rev Ringle was followed
by the Revs. Otto Lauxman, H. Retter,
and the closing remarks were made by
the Rev Schaer, who thanked the out
side ministers for their assistance; the
choirs of the two city churches for the
excellent music furnished, and the
ladies for their 4untiring efforts in feed-s
ing the multitudes.
The meeting was very successful
one, both spiritually and financially.
The former cannot be measured, but it
was. very inspiring and helpful to see
5000 people arise and sing with great
fervor those old German anthems 1t
inspired theE ministers and all worked
lasting good. The collection for home
and foreign missions amounted to S400.
3 Among the clergymen on the plat
form was Rev. f. e. Reinecke, former
pastor of the st. Paul and St Stephens
congregations. His advanced age
makes him quite feeble.

POPULAR MOVEMENT.

The Northwestern road will run an
excursion train from Fond du Lac to
this city and return on Aug. 25th, pick
ing up passengers at intervening
points. The train will leave Fond du
Lac at 6:45 a. m. and arrive here at11
a. m, returning at 7:30 p. m. This will
undoubtedly bring many excursionists
to the city and the railroad officials
promise that if this one. is a success
more excursions will be run TO this city
before cold weather, sets in. 1t was
mainly through agent McNaughtons
efforts that this scheme was inaugural
ed. Several of such trains have been
run out of Wausau to other points of
late but none to this city. A remon-
STRANGE by the business men has been
needed. The Green Bay base ball team
plays here that day and will draw a
great crowd, no doubt, for the two
games played by the locals with that
team week ago has well advertised
the game in advance, and all the visit
ing base ball enthusiasts will patronize
the sport.
An excursion will also be run here
from Marshfield leaving that town at
about o'clock and will return from
here at about 8.

PRESBYTERIAN NOTES.

the year when Sunday school institutes
and picnics are held. On last Thursday
afternoon and evening a Sunday school
Institute and picnic was held at Way
side chapel Trappe, Heights and Bro
-Haw uniting in the service. The after
noon meeting was very interesting and
was addressed by DR.. j. W. Sanderson,
Chicago, DR.. Z. d. Kanouse, Rev. S. n.
Wilson and Rev. JOS Brown, of Marsh
field, who is a specialist in this work.
At o'clock an elaborate supper was
served after which another short SER
vice was conducted. About 200 were
present during the day from the COM
munity round about, and the institute
was a success in every way, the SER
vices having been very interesting as
we'll as instructive. Quite a number
from this city were in attendance.
On Friday afternoon about 100
were present at similar meeting
which was conducted at the Dells of
the Eau Claire for the Aniwa, Hogarty
and johnson missions. Rev. Wilson
presided and Rev. Joseph Brown, and
missionaries Lauran, Martin and Muir
were among those who spoke. This
was also an interesting service and was
attended by several carriage loads who
went out from this city.

Cormack Theological Seminary, Chica-
60, who has had charge of the mission
work at Trappe, Heights and Brokaw

greater effort.
A Sunday school institute and picnic
will be held at Rothschilds' next Thurs

benefit of the Kelly, Schofield and
Sandy missions.
The chapel which is in course of con
struction at Edgar will soon be COM

RECEIVES CALL TO INDIANA.
Secretary of Racine Y. M. G. A. Offered
Place in indianapolis.


+. d. Hopkins, secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association, has re-
ceived a call to the Young Mems Chris
tan association at Indianapolis. 1t is
probable that he will accept, But,a def
mite decision will not be arrived at until
next week Mr.. Hopkins came to
Racine from Wausau, Wis, six years
ago. At that time the Racine association
had 1852 members. 1t now has 454 and
has been as high as 625. 1t was the de-
sire of Mr.. Hopkins to remain in
Racine until after the state convention
in February, believing that he could
raise the debt on the association and
add another story to the structure for
new gymnasium. The Indianapolis
association has 100000 building, but
is about to build a much larger one.
The membership is 1000 and the salary
twice as large as in Racine.
The above taken from the Milwaukee
Sentinel of last Friday will be interest
ing news to the many friends of former
Secretary Hopkins of this city. Whether
he will leave Racine or not is not, as
yet, known. Secretary Hopkins left
this, city about five years ago to accept
the management of the Racine associa-
ton, since which time it has been stead
lily built up until at present it is possibly
in better condition than any other asso-
citation in this state. The call from
indianapolis shows that he is strong
man in his chosen work, and his friends
in this city have reason to rejoice and
wish him God-Speed
