Mr.. Cummings then shows the great
influence welded for long time in
the lower house of congress by the
city of Philadelphia by repeatedly re-
turning such men as Samuel j. Rs n

Kelly, and Alfred Hammer for twenty
eight years, all of whom died in Office.
The south, says Mr.. Cummings, for
years maintained her sway over ma

Of Minnesota, which has Of late
years awakened to the fact that in or

A BIG FILL.
One Being Made in Iowa Near Ottum-

wa. A Valley Filled Up.
The greatest prairie land "flling"
known to railroads in the west is I'M
der way on the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railroad at a point known
as "Sugar Creek" near Ottumwa.
A valley seventy-one feet deep, be-
tween the crests of two hills 2, 800 feet
apart, is being filled up. The work
will require 1898, 900 cubic yards of
grading and will not be finished for a
year, although begun in June last. At
the top of one of the hills three steam
shovels dump clay in the cars, which
dummy engine pushes out upon the
high, portable iron bridge, where they
deposit their loads into the valley.
With one end supported upon the
hill and the other upon trestle work
the bridge is moved along as the work
advances. When the grading is com,
pleted it will be 70 feet wide at the
base. To provide for the spring aood
waters which rush along "Sugal
Creek" two thirty-five-foot arches
have been constructed. One hundred
and fifty men were employed in theil
construction. Besides the stone thu
arch work contains $50, 900 bricks.

Cleveland. Mr.. Cleveland is the only

Since leaving the presidency, Mr..

THE CAR FAMlNI

There is a great howl s6sp&
from Beaumont Oil compal
ing the shortage of cars. ] ~ 81
companies are receiving t-~ Cd
the complaints. As a matter of fact
some of the smaller companies are Ito
blame, in large measure, for this
shortage. They solicit orders for re-
mote points which would require a
month to deliver the oil and return
the cars.
This feature of the oil question in
fiuenced the Texas Fuel Oil company
to build pipe line to Port Arthur
from which point the oil can be ship
ped all over the world. Today there
are but three such pipe lines, built at
cost of $1,000 per mile each. Our
company has arranged for fourth to
be built in connection with several
other companies, thus giving us the
benefit of a private pipe line without
the entire expense. If you are inter-
ested in Texas oil and wish to invest
some money in it, this opportunity
will appeal to you. With all improve
ments arranged for, we are still selling
stock at the original price, % cents
per share. Send for prospectus or call.

! Views From Exchanges

In referring to the spread of the
lodge craze and the organization Of 80
many different lodges, the Albert Lea
Tribune soliloquizes as follows: The
entire country seems to be logde-mad,
as people will belong to lodges and
spend time and money while their
debts go unpaid and their creditors
have no satisfaction. 1t is hoped the
fad or craze will have spent itself
within few years. as the same
amount of money and energy put into
real business measures would have a
great effect upon the industries of the
nation, but until the fashion of be-
longing from one to a dozen lodges
dies out no reform can be expected.

self in the following manner in regard
to the state authorship: The ques-

next campaign is one very easy of solu-
ton. If Mr.. Dunn will accept third
nomination and assume the duties of
the Office for another four years, he
ought to be, and in all probability
will be, nominated without opposition.
If he does not want the Office but pre-
fers to retire for two years and then
run for governor, or if he desires some
other Office, the nomination for audi
tor should go either to Mr.. Jacobson
of Lac qui Parle, or Mr.. Iverson, Mr..
Dunn's deputy. Any one of these three
gentlemen will strengthen the ticket
| and give the state the most efficient
and faithful services, but all, save per-

Mr.. Dunn should be the nominee if he

PROPOSED CHANGE IN BANKING
LAW.

A Washington dispatch notes that
Congressman McCleary is receiving
many favorable replies to his circular
recently sent out asking for informa-
tion and opinions as to a change in
the national banking law, which
would permit small banks making
loans on real estate security. 1t is
stated that most of these replies are
favorable to such move. The only
objection of any moment that has been
made toward such move is that real
estate securities could not be turned
into cash quickly enough in case the
bank was pushed for cash as in case
of run upon it. There may be some
thing in this. And yet is it not fact
that if the funds of bank, or a GER
tain per cent of them, were invested
in real estate securities, it would
tend to give greater feeling of safety
among depositors who become tim Or
GUS in panicky timesH W also recall
the fact that many of the banks that
closed their doors during the panic Of
1898, were unable to realize quickly
upon securities held by them, and so
went under, and many others were
simply kept open, not because they
could quickly turn the securities upon
their loans, but because some strong,
friendly bank, helped tide them over.
And in the case of many Of the banks
which then closed their doors, their
depositors would have felt much
easier, and would doubtless have real
lied larger dividends had a portion of
the funds been loaned on real estate
security. 1t is a matter which needs
to be carefully handled, but it seems
to be favored by many familiar with
the business of the smaller banks, and
could doubtless be of great accommo-
dalton to many business who had
rather give good real estate security
than ask friend to sign a note with
them.

early this week against the Northern

successful in getting an order granting
such suit, and if he does. there will be
no other suit entered at the present
time. However, should the court de ny
an order on the plea that it has no
jurisdiction in the matter then Mr..
Douglas intends to enter suit in the
supreme court of New Jersey as well
as that of Minnesota, to have the

Congress resumed its sessions today
after long holiday recess, and it is
expected twill at once get down to
business in earnest. Washington re-
ports state that it is in better shape
for work than is usually the case
after the holiday recess. Both
houses are thoroughly organized, and
ing the house the leading committees
had settled down to work and accom-
plished. The pension appropriation
bill is about ready to report, and
others of the great appropriation bills
are working into shape and will
doubtless.be reported to the house from

taken care of. Much important legis-

and the session will probably be one of

It is claimed that Gov. Crane Of
Massachusetts will accept the position
of secretary of the navy If rendered
him, and that President Roosevelt will
make the tender when he comes to look
for successor to Secretary Long. In
taking the navy department Mr.. Crane
would not have to make any sacrifices
in his business relations, which is said
to have been one of the chief reasons
which caused him to refuse the secre-
taryship of the treasury. Former Gov.
Hunt of the same state is also said to
be a possibility for the place.
