Comment on Bank Statement

New York. May 9.-The New York
Financier says:
The official statement of the New
York associated banks last week showed
somewhat unexpected gain in loans
this item being increased 50. 0O1 200 This
probably reflects in part the increase in
the previous week and also some syndi-
cate negotiations. TIN sash showed a
net gain of only 81 .366,600 instead of an
increase of $3.0S1 200 as estimated from
the traceabe movements of money dur
ing the week. This discrepancy probably
reflects Withdrawals OF cash by trust
companies preparatory TO compliance with
the reserve requirement, which will he
come effective on June l. and possibly
some Of the receding trust companies
may nave drawn upon their cash depos

cash was most likely made on T,eine,

Condition of the Cotton Crop

Cotton conditions in the southern states
according to reports of Dun's Review from
branch office of K. G. Dun e Co, are
far from satisfactory The season is COLI
and late and the crop from two to TIRES
weeks behind. In the southwest tha
drought has caused a serious setback
IN MANY sections much replanting will

lantic aeaboard there has been annie
moisture, but in the gulf states and tho
southwest there has been an almost to-

Conditions are especially bad in Texas
where nearly onethird of the crop is

April did serious damage. especially in
the lowlands. In Mississippi and Louis

importance of the Inscription in .
Kansas City Lawsuit for
Property Rights.

The title to Kansas City property
valued at over half million dollars
has been clouded by n suit filed in the
circuit court there by the heirs of the
late Nancy Priddy. The property
according to the st. Lous Globe Dem
ocrat, includes 50 acres in the fashion
able residence district. Mrs. Priddy
died in 1892. 1t is contended by her
heirs, who are residents of Central
Point, Ore, that she was 90 years old
at the time OF her death, while the de-
PENDANTS TO the suit maintain that She
was 66 years old. On this point the
suit hinges. If she were but co years
old she had not reached n lawful age
to execute deed at the time she dis
posed OF her property here in 1852.
There is no record of her birth. the
only evidence of her age being her
tombstone, and the claim is made tina
IT has been tempered with. The tomb
stone, plaster cast of which was
made in Oregon for use in the trial,
shows this record: AGED GO years"
but the cipher looks as though it might
originally have been 80" and il will
be left TO the court To decide wheth.
er il was or not. If the court decla res
her age to have been GO years at the
Time OF her death the heirs will win.

We always like to see horseman
drive up to a hitching post these
winter days, jump out of the rig, I'M
fold warm blanket and carefully
cover his faithful horse. There is a
big heart in that man. He is think
ing of something else beside himself,
and he takes as much pleasure in car
ing for his horses comfort as for
himself. On the other hand, il makes
US sad to see great big man, warm
ly clad from head to foot, drive a
steaming horse up to post, hastily
tie him fast, leave him shivering and
make for the nearest hot stove. There
is something wrong about this fell
low. He may be nice man, belong
to church, may not swear smoke
nor have any bad habits, but he has
no feelings for a dumb animal.

the feat accomplished in that line by
q nurse at Philadelphia hospital the
other day is probably without u
parallel.
According to an exchange of that
city Thomas w. Wright and a com.
panion were skylarking and trying
to initiate Jeffries and Corbett in
front of Wright's home, when sud
denly Wright received blow on the
jaw that turned his head half round
and over on one side. An instant
later big lump appeared on his neck
and he began to suffer greatly. lie
endeavored to get himself into his
former shape, but was unable to do
SO. Try as he would the best he
could do was to Keep looking over his
right shoulder. There was no get
ting him to "front face"
His friend helped him to the hos
pital, restraining his rather natur al
inclination to walk sideways, and
there Drs. Lloyd and Merlin told him
his neck was dislocated. They sought
to reduce the dielocation, but were
unsuccessful, and so the nurse said:
LET me jiggle his head into place"
Surgeons and patient agreed and
the young woman took the sufferers
face between her hands and gently
workedi first one way and then the
other. Nj a minute or two there was
a sound as II something had snapped
and the young man was looking at
the world once more over his waist
coat, instead of from the starboard
side. The swelling in his neck disap-
peared instantly and there was no
pain. He thanked the girl and the
doctors praised her.

STREET DROPPING.

The main street ofNorway. Dick
inson county, is fast sinking from
sight. For some time the business GEN.
ter of that city has been gradually
going downward, until now it has
become so dangerous that tenants in
some of the buildings are moving.
The Nelson block, one the largest
buildings there, is rapidly falling
down by the ground sinking. Other
buildings are also cracking. This
havoc is caused by the sinking OF the
Aragon mine which is under the
town site. The postofice is in the
Nelson block.

walton. in Minnesota, It is specified
among other things, that in the cut
ting the refuse shall be cleaned up
and removed OF destroyed, so that II
may not furnish material for forest
fires that win destroy the trees left
standing. In short, only merchantable
