the expert burglar.
Second-That the ordinary or obsolete
types of safe or vault constructed relatively
a few years ago are not invulnerahle to the
attacks of the tyro or amateur burglar.
Third-That should, by any combination
OF circumstances, sufficient opportunity be
Afforded expert cracksmen, any safe or
vault can be opened.
~Fourth-That a satisfactory form of cleo
trtcal protection is both ohtainable and
desirable for all vaults and safes wherever
applicable, and constitutes a form Of pro-
lection superior to that afforded by the
construction OF the vaults or safes them
selves.

Soon after the adjournment of con-
gress it looked as though the Panama
canal might soon be under headway,
as both the French and Colombian
governments said that no obstacles
would be placed in the way of our Sc
curing perfect title. Later develop
ments show that we are likely to be
disappointed. as the revolution in the
latter state has been in progress for
nearly three years and it looks as
though it might CONT nue. Indefinitely:
in the meantime it is impossible for
the government to take any steps to
perfect our title. If this state of
aft airs gets to be monotonous to our
president he may take notion to
take up the Nicaragua route, as con-
gress gave him discretionary power
in the matter.

The editor of the Imprint, of Gar
den City, is likely to be read out of
the republican party He has taken
the name of T. T. Kelly down from
the state ticket for treasurer and says
in his paper: 1.-The question of carry
ing the name of T. T. Kelly is up to
every republican paper in the state.
While we realize that to some extent
he handicaps the entire ticket, the
paper that carries his name end orses
fraud. The majority of voters, ire
spective of party, will not stand for
fraud" 1t may be that the voters of
the state do not stand for fraud but it
looks very much as though the dele
gates to the republican state conven-
tion did not represent the. voters of
their party, for they seem to have
given defaulter a most enthusiastic
endorsement when they nominated
him for SO responsible a position as
that of treasurer of this state.

The republican party is usually
rather aggressive but in this county
they have become so used to defeat
that it is hard to find man with suffi-
cient temerity to announce himself
publicly as a candidate. This fact is
brought to our mind by noticing an
announcement in the columns of the
Mercury which states that our old
friend, M. G. Kennedy, desires the
nomin alton for register of deeds. He
was once in this position in this
county and gave general satisfaction,
we believe. Now if the boss can get a
few more good men to apply for the
other places he may yet be able to get
up ticket

called convention for Topeka, Aug

and the papers are now in
quiring who he is. Well, he is nice
old gentleman who for years past las
been a street corner orator in Topeka.
We are inclined to give him credit
for honesty of purpose and believe he
will attend his convention and not do
as did the committee which signed a
call for convention in Topeka re-
Gently and then all failed to attend, so
that when the date arrived there were
not enough people present to officer

The same lady who some time since

the proprietor to close up and quit

New York. Jan. 4-The disappointment
over the weekly hank statement to-day
made ii difficult for the stock market to
make Roadway against the selling TO take
profits. y good part of the gains were
wiped out after the statement appeared, and
some of the weak stocks fell Il point or
more below last night. Realizing was In

tone to the market. copper promptly 70

in the United States Steel stocks. The rise
in the copper stock was based on tn. re-
ported dissolution of an injunction against
the ayment of dividends by one OF its
subsidiary companies. \ number of low
priced industrials developed strength dur
ing the day. especially the producers of
railroad equipment. St. Paul advanced on
its increased earnings for the fourth week
in December. The announcement that this
company would discontinue OF
weekly earnings gave rise to some doubts
among spectators over the railroad out

The bank statement showed an increase
of only S3.5i1. so in cash. which was less
than half the amount predicted. The in
crease OF reserve requirements by the large
