IN MEMORY OF OLD SOLDIERS.
The National Memorial University at
Mason City, Iowa.

The first and main building of the Ma
tional Memorial University, being built at
Mason City, Iowa, solely by contributions
from the Sons of Veterans of the United
States and allied organizations, has just
been completed The structure, erected
at a cost of 100000, occupies a central
position in the 160-acre site on Patriots
Hill. The other buildings will be grouped
around it and it is expected that the in
stitution will be thrown open in the fall
of 1903. The National Civil War Mu-
scum is expected to have the greatest
collection of war relics in the United
States. Another building will be Barton
Hall, named in honor of Miss Clara Bar
ton, of the American National Red Cross
Society. The National Alliance of Daugh-
tiers of Veterans will pay for this and for
the women's college. There will be an
endowment fund of 81 100000. The mis-

FARMERS FACE RUIN.
CROPS IN DANGER FROM BLIGHT
ING RAIN.
Fields of the Whole West Damaged
by the Incessant Downpour - The
Wettest June in Thirty Years-Many
States Are Deluged, GO

Ruin threatens the farmers of the land.
II the rain continues a few days longer
the damage to the crops throughout the
middle Western and Western States and
the loss to the farmers will be beyond
calculation. 1t was raining Sunday prac-
tically all over the country, and many al
ready Hooded States were visited by an
inch or more of rain in twenty-four hours.
The farming communities of Illinois and
surrounding States are face to face with
the gravest kind of a situation. Contin-
ued rain will result in wrecked crops.
Reports show that there were heavy
rains in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Iowa,
Ohio, Kansas, Nebraska, New York,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Arkansas.
The reports from the Dakotas and Min
nesota indicate that rain in those States
was light, but the great stretches Of
wheat land in the Northwest have been
soaked so thoroughly during the month
of June that the farms are in such bad
shape that very light continued showers
will serve to bring the ruin threatened.
Illinois is one of the chief sufferers.
All through the interior as far south as
the Ohio river the farms are flooded with
water. Corn fields, wheat fields, mead
ows, pastures and gardens have been
turned into lakes and ponds. Only the
most favorable kind Of weather will save
the agricultural communities from heavy
loss, and a short continuation of the rains
will mean big losses for hundreds of farm
owners and farm renters.
A low estimate placed on the damage
wrought within a radius of $50 miles of
Alton, Ill.,, by the storm of wind and rain
that prevailed Saturday might and Sun
day is 100000. While the farmers are
the heaviest losers, the railroads also suf-
fered severely.
Added to the unreasonable rains there
has been un-June like weather. 1t has
been worse than a cool month. The Their
nometer has kept distressingly low. Chi
cago has passed through the most dis
agreeable June it has known in thirty
years with the exception of June, 1892,
which was slightly worse. There have
been nineteen rainy days in the month.
In June, 1892, there were twenty-one.
The rainfall for the month was greater
than that Of any other June except IN
1892, when the total was 1888. The
average for the June of thirty years, with
the exception of 1892 is little more than
FIVE inches.
If the rain continues the population of
the middle West will need whales or
arks for transportation like Jonah Of old
and Noah the patriarch.

DerouS Year for Nation.

Uncle Sam has had good year. On
the last day of the fiscal year the treas
ury figures showed a surplus for the
twelve months of nearly $90,O0O,0O0. Not
withstanding the large appropriations by
Congress and the heavy expense of the

ing the year show almost that great sum
in excess of expenditures. Last years
surplus was about S75,OOO,O00.
To show the magnitude Of the business
Uncle Sam is carrying on it is only nee

A Car Load of Dimes.

One would naturally think that the pack age dye business was a small industry, but there is more than one million dollars worth of package dyes sold in the United States every year.
 One of the largest package dye factories in the world is that of the Putnam Fadeless Dyes Co.,, Unionville, Mo. In this factory alone, three million packages of Putnam Fadeless Dyes are made every year. To put up this amount of dyes requires the handling of seven million of envelopes, think of it, seven millions of envelopes laid length wise would reach distance of seven hun dred miles; if laid one upon the other they would make pile of Putnam Fadeless Dyes 41 miles high. As each envelope has to be handled five times before package is com plete, the completion of three millions of packages requires that they be handled thirty-five, million times. This of course gives employment to a number of people, the Putnam Fadeless Dye Company alone employ. almost hundred people, 90 per cent. of whom are young ladies.

THE SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
Senator Berry, of Georgia, Presents the Minority Resolution Op-
 posing the Measure.
THE MAJORITY REPORT CONTAMINATED.
1t is Urged That the Hill is Wrong in Principle, and Will Utterly Fail in the AccOmpIishme of It's PrOfessed Objects--DenOunced as Class Legislation.

Washington, March 1G.-Senator Berry, representing the minority of the committee on commerce, presented the resolution in opposition to the pending ship subsidy bill. Most of the points have been covered in speeches in the senate. The minority deny the accuracy of both the pre- dictions and the facts in the ma jority report. They urge that the bill is wrong in principle and declare that it will utterly fail in the accomplish ment of it's professed objects. They also say that while it is not so com plicated as the subsidy bill of the Fifty-siXth congress, it is in some re- spects even more objectionable. The minority continue:
 The bill proposes to tax the whole people to the extent of several mil lions for the benefit of one single in dustry. Besides the statistics of the last two years prove that the ship building industry does not need such special assistance, but is rapidly in creasing under natural conditions"
 
 bill which carries the subsidy for for. eign mails, and say: "The highest rate of subsidy is given to 20- knot vessels, while the fast ocean mails are really carried in g and 24-lnot vessels. The mail com. pensation to the slow American yes. sels, already too high, is made i'm mensely higher by this bill. We pay more for a weekly service than En. gland pays for a semi-weelly service by much faster ships than ours"
 They further urge that the bill makes no provision against shipping trust, and claim that it encourages a They also say: "The lines might also merge with foreign lines to control freight and passenger rates. There by our subsidy would be aiding the foreign partners of our subsidized vessels"
 The report closes by saying: We know that there are hundreds and thousands of industries in our coun- try doing a losing business, but we deny that congress, for this reason. can go into the public treasury and save them from bankruptcy. We sym pathiZe with all men in the hard struggles of life but it is not the duty of our government to interfere in the private business affairs of the citi- zen. We believe that all men should have an equal and fair chance in the race for wealth, and happiness-every citizen should bear his share of the burdens of the government, one class should never be the recipient of bene- fits not given to others. Absolute equality of rights is a doctrine we should never abandon. The bill is wrong in principle, unjust, vicious, pure class legislation."
