Senator Slater, of New York, intro
becomes law, put an end to the big
rational trap shooting tournaments that
have been held in New York state for
many years, or result in having the
tournaments held outside the state. At
one tournament held last year over TO-
600 pigeons We're slaughtered, and at the
time humane societies and archaeological
associations adopted resolutions and
urged legislative action to prevent this
cruelty. Descriptions of the tournament
were published, and 1t was shown how
wounded pigeons were left on the field to
die The bill introduced by Senator Sla-
ter provides that it shall be a misde-
meanor for any one to shoot live pig
con, and any organization holding a
tournament at which live pigeons are
used for targets may be proceeded
against and its officers prosecuted in the
criminal courts A similar bill was in
troduced last year along toward the
close of the session. 1t passed the SEN
ate, but failed by six votes in the as
sembly. Senator Slater says that he will
make the greatest effort to have the bill
become a law this year. for he under
stands that unless a law is made pro-
hibiting such shoots that another tour
nament will be held and 10000 more
pigeons killed. The bill introduced at
Albany will not be a surprise to those
who follow this sport. Those who are
interested in trap shooting tournaments
have been working quietly for several
weeks among their friends at Albany,
and they have hopes of defeating the bill

CONDITION OF BANKS is GOOD.
Controller Rideely Shows the Nstiona

Controller RiGgeiy SHOWS ehe Ss1ioHdi
institutions Are Prosperous.
Washington. Aug. 9.-William Bar
rett Ridselv. controller of the currency.
yesterday made the following state
ment in regard to the summary OF con-
dition of the national banks of the
United States at the close of business
ION "Wednesday, July 16:
"lhe reports of condition show the
banks to be in excellent shape. as have
all recent statements of the kind. The
increase in most of the itms of the
statement are consistent with the uni
versal reports of the prosperous ccndi-
ton of business and the increase in its
volume all over the country. The foot
ing of the statement. $6,006, 1896, is.
as might be expected, the largest on
record The least favorable feature of
the statement is. perhaps, the contln-
ued increase in loans-$49.10 since
the statement of April 80. 1902. and
$264 953.255 over the statement of July
Is. 1901. In this expansion of the vol
ume of loans there is, of course. con-
siderable solid growth and increase of
values. upon which loans can properly
be based, but there must also be some
imitation. ana there is always danger
in going too far i'll this direction.
The average reserve held by the
banks has increased from 27.21 per cent
April 30. 1902, to 27.4S per cent July l6.
But this is somewhat lower than the
average reserve of July Ia, 1901, when
it was 2S.0l per cent.
During the years there has been an
increase of s33,67S,425 in specie held
by the banks. of which increase S6.003.-
40T has occurred since April 80, 1902.
During the year there has been an in
crease of more than $4,000, 600 in the
capital stock and $65.000,000 in surplus.
More than the average portion OF this
has occurred since the last statement.
but this is largely due to the readjust-
ment of this item generally made
July l.
There has been a slight decrease in
the deposits since April so. but a hand-
some increase for the year The per-
centage of reserve shown by the central
reserve cities is all higher this year
than one year ago-NeW York increas-
ing from 26.32 per cent to 1868 per
cent; Chicago from 25.7S per cent to
26.20 per cent: and st. Louis from 20.35
per cent to 23.o0 per cent

oil the same under the present manage
mant of the law affairs for the Rock
Island here is looked upon as fore
stalliuy other removals from Cedar
R;pi,is, to Des Moinas. There must be q
Cedar RAPIDS division of the hock
Island, of course. but it is certain that
large part of the business will be done
from Des Moines. The Jaw department
of the Rock Island becomes under this
arrangement the most important of any
line in the state. Carroll Wright has
been the Iowa attorney for the Rock
Island a long time. His much loved and
truly great father, Judge Wright WIS
of the firm i'm early days. Then the ell
der brother, Thomas S. Wright. became
the Iowa attorney for the Rock Island
and later went into the head offices in
Chicago. At present Carroll Wright Is
spending his vacation in Colorado, hut
is expected back next week. The de-
t,ils of the consolidation are lacking.
Presumably Mr.. WI .ght will continue
as head of the law Office and Judge John
l. Ollie will be his chief assistant. Mr..
Wright has dahbled in politics quite
lit in recent years. Some time ago he
announced himself out of it. He went
away just a few days before the re-
publican state convention was held.

conference are engaged ino laudahle
effort. by and thru the work of Rev
Fletcher Brown. to raise fund of $50

for the superannuated ministers OF this
conference A great many of the minis
ters of the conference are getting Old

didn't get Consequently they are poor.
The salary deficiency IN this conference
slone amounts to more than Sl5o,ooo,
that is. the churches have lacked that
much of paving the salaries. There are
row over n hundred of these superan-
r,uated ministers in this conference. The
fund for their maintenance is small.
Strong efforts are now being made to
get the fund in such condition that
the ministers can be assured of living
in their old age

LOOKING UP BOGUS BUTTER.
Government Inspector to Visit the
Ctn4a Cnnla

State Soon.
Cedar Rapids Aug 9.-Major NJ. W..
Lang, of Washington. ID. c., inspector
of renovated butter factories. is maxi
ing a tour thru Iowa and will shortly
visit the vicinity of Cedar Rapids. Mr..
Lang was recently appointed an in
specotr under the new butter law which
was passed at the last session of con-
gress and became operative July /. He
will visit the various ereamerIes and
butter manufactures to see that the
law is enforced. An extensive terri
tory has; been assigned him, that be-
tween the Mississippi river and the
Rock mountains. In a recent interview
he made the following statement;
The principal complaint which has
been made against the factories where
renovated butter is turned out is that
the sanitary conditions have not been
Ias perfect as they might be. | have
mot heard any complaints on this score.
The process butter is that which is
shipped in by country merchants and is
renovated and sweetened by manu-
facturers and re-sold. The industry is
not nearly so large as this season of the
y
much higher in price. The industry is
carried on principally in the west, be-
cause that is where the milk is pro-
duced. F'ifty-one factories which rem
oyate butter qualified with the govern
ment on July l, as soon as the law be-
came operative. There are many more
factories than this and they are quali-
flying every day.
Some of these factories turn out az
high as 10000 pounds day. 1t is my
impression from what l have learned
that the process butter business will
not grow very rapidly. for the reason
that the farmers are beginning to sepa-
rate their milk and cream and haul the
cream to market for the use of the
creameries rather than go to the trou-
BILE of churning it. OF course the farm
er who lives a good Ways from a cream
cry station will continue to churn his
milk and sell his butter to the country
store just the same, and this butter will
