CLEAN MONEY WANTED.

Prominent editors, medical societies
and other public spirited men have for
years past advocated some change in
the method Of handling our currency
which would result in the quicker re-
tirement of bills of small denomina-
lions.
Under the present practice they be-
come dirty and unhealthful before they
are sent in by banks for redemption.
Banks do not send them in sooner
because they have to pay express
charges; so the bills circulate until
they are a disgrace to the government
that issues them. and g constant menace
to the health of our people
The following clipping from the Phila-
delphia Medical Council points out the
evils Of present conditions from a
hygienic standpoint, and shows how the
adoption of the post check system
would cure them, and at the same time
furnish a most convenient means of
mail remittance:
II you could take an ordinary bill out
of your pocket and mark it so that II
would be of no use to any one except
the one to whom you wish to send it
and then enclose it in an ordinary let
ter and send it by mail doing away
with the journey for q money order
you would think it a great convenience
would you not? Yet this is Just what
the post check currency would enable
you to do.
When this money has been used ir
this manner it is returned to the treas
ury for redemption and a fresh bill il
issued in its stead. Thus the circulat-
ing currency is constantly kept fresh
clean and comparatively free from dis
ease germs. This should appeal to the
physician and hygienist as an i'm
l,crtant step in our progress towards tn,
final stamping out of all conta gious dis
cases. What can be more sunhygienit
than old, worn, greasy paper money
passing from hand to hand among al
classes and conditions of men? Tim,

Russia on the other hand has no in

Russia's purpose seems to be to put the
onus of declaring war upon Japan, if
such be the result of the negotiations.
JAPAN IS MOBILIZING.
Berlin, Dec. 30.-News has been re-

that Japan is modifying, probably with
the object of occupying Korea. The
confirmation has reached the German
government officially, and it is inter
preted here, as in Paris, to mean not
that Japan intends to send an ultimat-
UNI to Russia, but that Japan may oc-
cupy Korea without Russia consider
ing it a casus beli.
The situation is regarded here to-
night as developing rapidly, yet not
necessarily toward war.

EX-MAYOR PARKER TALKS.
Judge Albert Parker, ex-mayor of
Topeka, and at the present time presi-
dent of the keystone Gas and Oil
company, said of the proposition to
pipe gas to Fort Scott: I'VE have
plenty of gas for sale and are only
seeking a market for it, The citizens
of your city. who have never known
the convenience of natural gas, which
means gas In the reach of all as against
the rate now paid for COAL have no idea
of the difference between gas and coal
as a fuel. When you have gas for
both lighting and fuel you do away
with all the dirt with which you now
contend. And then the expense will be
materially cut down. We want the
franchise authorizing us to pipe gas
going to secure it unless your citizens
declare that they do not want the ac-
companylng cOnvenienceS and the re-
duction in cost of fuel and lights
1t is very doubtful if SO distinguished
a party of capitalists as that composed
of the Topeka and Chanute gentlemen
has visited Fort Scott at any time in her
past history. These parties, besides be
ing prominently connected with some
of the wealthiest holdings in the Kan
sas gas and oil regions, are reputed to
be the possessors of immense private
fortunes. The suggestion has been Of
fered that the object in securing the
franchise Is for the purpose of creating
a market for the bonds. This may be
true, but appears rather unreasonable
when the wealth of the individuals of
of the company admit that a part of
the stock may be sold, but also aver
that the majOrity will be taken by the
men owning the gas.

ing of the Company.

Paris, Dec. 30.-Owing to the recent
events at Panama the annual meet
ing of the Panama company, which be-
gan this afternoon developed unusual
interest and excitement. Prior to the
opening, efforts were made to secure
enough proxies to overrule the exist
ing management of the company, which
is favorable to the sale of the COM
pany's property to the United States.
The meeting took place in the hall of
agriculture, which was crowded with
officials, stockholders and prominent
financiers.
At the opening of the meeting the
management submitted a report of the
recent events on the Isthmus, and the
course taken by the company. The re-
port set forth that the republic of Pan
anna today exercised sovereignty over
the ISthmuS diSplacing Colombia's for
mer sovereignty, that the United States,
France, Russia, Great Britain, Germany
and other countries had recognized
Panama and added:
In view OF the accomplished fact
and in face of superior force We can
only maintain and continue the exist
ing engagements with the United
States
The report also explains the fact that
the United States senate has not rati-
fed the treaty with Panama deferred
the execution of the conaDany's en-
gagements with the United States
1T is under these circumstances. -

The report further disclosed Colom-

company to continue dealing with the
old government of the isthmus, say
ing:
Prior to the Panama uprising the
committee of the Colombian congress
recommended action which would have
extinguished the eompany's rights. 1t
proposed to insert an item of 81 900, 900
in the Colombian budget to reimburse
the company for its losses.
1.-The agent of the company at Bogota
resisted and the French government gave
assurances that it would do all possible
to prevent the sacrifice of French proper
ty and interests. Following the Panama
outbreak Colombia notified the company
