..Kangaroos" in wall Street.

There is a new class of operators
in Wall street They are known as
''kangaroo4." What is a kangaroo?
Well, kangaroo is a man who jumps
iii and out of the market, fearful lest
he has made a mistake in going in and
equally distrustful as to his judgment
in selling out. He has all the charac-
teristics of a Kangaroo quick jump
er either way Meantime he exhausts
his wind, his legs, and, not least of
all, his margin.
From time immemorial there have
been bulls and bears and lambs in
Wall street. but only recently has
Wall street observed this new class
Of operators. the kangaroos. The
kangaroo is without nerve in any di-
rection. He is Tightly, cratic, and of
no use to himself or his friends, but
then it must be said in justice to the
kangaroos that only in times like
those of the last few weeks have there
been opportunities to display kangaroo
characteristics.-Ne York Sun.

IF ATTORNEY DENERN succeeds III
muzz1ing John Alexander Dowie a pa
tient and long suffering public will
call him blessed. The mouthings of
Elijah II have long since ceased to be
amusing and with his continued i'm
munity from punishment, he is be-
coming bo1der and holder until his
rawlings against the judges and all
others who oppose his schemes are
positive encitements to crime. 1t Is
high time he was suppressed. All
governments. municipal, state and
national, are proverbially slow to act
and the authorities of Chicago are no
exception to the general rule. That
city has had some severe lessons in the
past, however, and should have learned
by bitter experience that the vaporings
of such men as Dowie are dangerous
in the extreme. Anarchists were al
lowed to hold forth on the lake front
in the very heart of the city until their
teachings bore their legitimate fruit
on the night of the Haymarket massa-
ere. Captain Streeter's "District of
Lake Michigan" farce has been allowed
to go on until the attempt to hold the
lands by force of arms has resulted in
murder. If Dowie is allowed to go on
revi1ing the judiciary and voicing his
contempt for the law no one need be
surprised if his teachings result in a
tragedy. He exerts wonderful inf1u-
ence over his followers. Almost any
of the weak minded fanatics who COM
pose the following of Zion would be
willing to sacrifice himself and commit
almost any crime if he believed that
his action would meet with the APPROX
al of Dowie. If Dowie is not made to
moderate his statements and stop his
loud calls for vengeance upon the "per-
secutors of Zion' some of his followers
may be inspired" to attempt to take
revenge upon the judges.

If the reports in the Racine papers
are not greatly exaggerated, that city
is threatened with an epidemic of small
pox. The health officers are becoming
greatly alarmed over their inability
to check the spread of the loathsome
disease in that city. The disease IN
Racine is of the same mild type that
has been so prevalent throughout the
country, and the authorities there, in
their efforts to prevent the disease
from gaining firm foothold, are
meeting with the same difficulties that
have confronted the health authorities
of every city in the State where the
malady has appeared. The illness is
of so mild nature that in many cases
it is not even reported. In spite of the
efforts to establish an effective quaran-
tine, many persons suffering with the
disease escape the vigilance of the
health officers, and, with criminal
disregard of the consequences, expose
ali with whom they come in contact to
the danger of infection. A1though'thc
disease is in a mild form at present, i,
may develop at any time into the most
malignant and deadly type, and every
one in Kenosha should take every pos
sible precaution to avoid contagion
and should promptly report to the City
Physician any suspicious cases of
sickness in their neighborhood.
