nopoly during the unexpred period,
Mr.. Norris Premier Bonds chief lieutenant,
has pledged Marconi the governments support
wherever possible
Marconi said tonight that his company in
London wants him TO assist in the negotiations
there with the Anglo-American company. The
inventor has packed his entire wireless ap-
paratus and VIII take with him that portion

PROSpEROUS IOWA

In an interview, Bank Examiner
Joseph WheIan is reported as say
ing:
"If this 'unexampled era of pros
perity' continues, The number of
state and savings banks in Iowa is
going to be greatly reduced. For the
past year money has been flowing
into the Golfers of the small bank at
an alarmngLy rapid rate, and it is
coming faster all the time, until at
present the cry of the coun' ry bank
er is, What shall do with all this
money! The situation is really be-.
coming serious, and must, if money
continues plentiful, result in the sus-
pension of many institutions. The
cause of the situation is the prosper
ity among the farmers, VINO have
made so much money during the
past two seasons that they are now
able not only to keep up their inter
est but in the majority of cases to
pay off all or nearly ali of the prin-
cipal of their mortgaged indebted
ness. Three years ago only small
proportion of farms in Iowa were not
mortgaged Now there are compare
biNCIJ lC" "hiCh dIC IuOIlRdStu. Il u5
result has been to flood the small
banks with money and reduce inter-
est rates from 7 and per cent to 5
and 6 per cent.
Everywhere | go the small bankers
want to know where they can dis
pose of 50, 900, So 900, $40 600, SIS, 900,
and even $50, 900 and $4,000, which
they have on hand and are unable to
loan. They are delighted, absolutely
| delighted, to secure first farm
mortgage now at per cent, while a
few years ago they would not touch
it for less than 7 or 8 per cent. But
| the farmers, with whom the small
banks naturally do the bulk of their
business, do not need money; they
have money to loan themselves. AS
last recourse the small banks place
the money with large banks, princi.
pally in Des Moines, where they re.
ceive 2% per cent. This is small in
terest, but it is better than letting
the money lie idle in the vaults"

OUR MILITARY STRENGTH.

In answer to an inquiry received at
the Adjutant Generals Office table
showing the number of persons sub
ject to military duty in twenty-five of
the counties in the state has been pre-
pared. The twenty-five counties
shown include all of those counties
who had more than 1000 men subject
to military duty at the breaking out
of the civil war.
Mahaska county is shown to have
had 2,779 men subject to military duty
at the breaking out of the civil war
in 1852, and 5 ,492 at the beginning OF
the Spanish American war in 1898.
The total number of persons sub
ject to military duty in the entire
state in the year 1862 was 1O6, $40,
while in 1893 the number had in.
creased to 3Os,571.
The state of Iowa has therefore sub,

The law requiring railways to
equip their rolling stock with air
brakes and automatic coupling ap-
pliances has not resulted in doing
away with accidents, but it has great
ly reduced the liability to accident
among railway employees. In 1898,
when the law went into effect, the
accident record shows that one train
man in every $40 was killed and one
in every thirteen injured. The rail-
ways were slow in complying with
the law, and, in fact, had not done
so fully last year. Yet the cord for
last year shows only one death
among every $40 employees and one
injury to every thirty-ohe employees,
