bosses In this c!.y.
The Goo-Goos are making a whole
lot Of fuss In this city. but they repre-
sent very few votes.
A striking testimony to the vitality
Of Ben Hur" is given by the fact that
the 1l1th edition is now being publish
ed.

lionaire, and. what is better still. that
he will coon retire from the show bust
ness.

tons In four big cities Of the Misslssip-
pi valley-Chicago, Cleveland, Cincin.
natl ana st. Louis.
The manufacture OF paper from corn
stalks opens up prospect OF riches
for Kansas that exceeds the widest
dreams Of avarice.
Mr.. Cleveland will come no further
west than St Louis. That Is as far
west as he thinks the limits OF the
United States extends.
The area OF land under grain cult
yation in England is constantly shrink
ing. In 1901 II was 230.726 acres less

II is simply wonderful all the things
that can be done with cottonseed oil

In the last half OF 1902 Japan and
England sent almost exactly the same
number OF immigrants to the United
States. The difference in favor Of ia
pan was Just twenty-three. and each
country went above the 10000 mark.
The new immigration law Is not OPP
Grating to check the arrival of immi-
grants. But 1t Is affecting a marked i'm
provement In their character. This is
due to the fact that the steamship
lines are forced to take more pains re.
garding the applicants for passage
from European ports.
All doubt about an extra session of
congress in the fall probably early in
November, has been removed by Sec
rotary Hays assurance to President
Palma of Cuba that one will be held to
give approval to the treaty which the
Cuban senate ratified on Saturday. AS

prevail by the house OF representatives,
there seems to be no room for doubt

The glass blowers have all along in
sisted that no mach me could be made
that would do their work, but the ma
chine has appeared, and the American
Window Glass company is installing
| them in all its factories. This means
that hundreds Of glass blowers will be
thrown out OF employment. and Incl
dentally that the price OF glass will be
very materially reduced. In addition
to this II relieves human beings from
the necessity OF doing work which
usually shortens their lives by many
years.
The United States attorneys Of Ar.

| The silver market continues steady
in London and New York. with good
undertone from India. The advance
statements from Washington indicate
probability OF the purchase in the neal
future Of 1000 900 ounces Of silver bul
ippine coinage. This action should
cause a slight improvement in thu
price OF silver.

and insanity and other abnormal dis
eases.
