There is nothing ''indigestible" about United States bonds, and almost all of them have, it appears, been di-
 gested by the people of this country. Of the outstanding indebtedness of the United States government. aggregating something like $s5O, O,0OO. .0oo, foreign banks and investors hold only a trifie over $15, ,00O, 900. Of the latter sum more than $1f.OOO.OO0 Is held here to the credit of foreign corporations doing business in the United States. so that the amount Of bonds actually in the hands of for eign individuals is less than $4,O00, 900. The exact amount of registered United
 States bonds held by foreigners is $15,- 065, ,750. Of this amount, $3.s11, ,25O is credited to individuals and $11, ,154, 800 to insurance companies. The latter amount I is all on deposit in this country. Be- fore q foreign insurance company can do business here it Is compelled to de- 2osit with the insurance commissioner of the particular State it seeks to in- wade certain amount of bonds, regis- tered in the name of the insurance com missioner for the benefit of the policy holders Of the company in that State. This cuts down the real bona fide for eign holders Of United States bonds to comparatively few persons.
 It is interesting to note that the larg- est individual foreign holders of our bonds reside in Cuba, where more than one-haIf Of the individual owners live and own $1.S1s.Ooo worth of the bonds. France and England come second and third, respectively, in the list of foreign individual holders of our national bonds, each country reporting about $500. 900 worth. German investors have small use for our securities. holding only $41, GOO worth.

DOYLE IN HEW FORK.

John Alexander Dowie, who has de- clared himself to be none other than Elijah III, the Restorer," arrived in New York yesterday, and he and his four thousand followers will proceed to try to do the great and wicked city of New York some good. He says he has come to New York in obedience to what he believes to be the command of God, and that he has long considered that the greatest city in America was worthy of the most careful considera- tion at his hands. His ''host" will do the same work it has been doing in Chi cago. All the houses in Chicago have been visited eight times and the plan is to visit all the houses in New York at least twice. The host will go from house to house carrying the message Peace be with you." Concerning him. self MT. Dowie says: q shall at the proper time repeat the declaration of June 2, 190l, made i'll the ChlcaSo Auai- torium, that I was the Prophet Elijah, There were seven thousand people pres- ent, and they all arose and said they believed it also. I came to it and my people came to it. It was evolution. and I think I'll make it clear to you at the proper time by further declara- tion and revelation. You will all hear of it at the proper time."
 As there can be no doubt that New York needs help all well disposed people will hope that Dowie and his host will help it. There is one part of New York on which they are not likely to make much impression, and that is Wall street.

It is related that an Oklahoma man visiting Chicago was invited by a friend out to see the zoo. He replied: "No, thank you. stay at home.

Travellers will be interested in a change which has just been made in the famous lights which glow nightly from the Lizard Point, on the coast of Corn wall. For more than one hundred and fifty years the familiar double fixed lights have been shown from this prom ontory, the Illuminating agent having been successively coal fires, sperm and colza oil, and lastly electricity; but hencefortf only one electric light will shoot over the adjacent sea and mark the landfall for vessels entering the Channel from the westward. It exhibits one flash every five seconds, each flash lasting only about a quarter of a sec- ond, and the concentrated intensity of each flash is such that the new Lizard light is said to be the most powerful in the world. It is hoped this increased power will enable it to be seen at a greater distance when the atmosphere is hay than any at which the previous fixed lights could be made out. More over. it is hoped that the reflection of the flashes will be visible to mariners at a distance considerably beyond the point at which the direct rays touched the horizon. z5 .

The United States consul in Noting ham recently wrote a bicycle firm in England asking for certain information. The head of the concern sent this cour- teous reply: Dear Sir-Yours of the 24th ut. informs us that you are in- structed by the government at Wash ington to ask us for certain information regarding our business; but, as we for merly sold from e1o,0OO to s12,OoO worth of goods annually to the United States, which your government shut out with a 45 per cent. duty, we think it just like Yankee cheek to now ask us for information respecting our affairs.

The people of Nashville, Tennessee, have just dedicated monument to the memory of James Robertson, the man who founded their city. It is an inn posing affair, weighing over thirty tons, and is in the form of shaft. Robert son was born in Virginia, but moved to North Carolina when young. and when twenty-seven went to Tennessee, later crossing the Blue Ridge with Daniel Boone, and on this trip became enam- ored with the country. He determined to start a colony, and persuaded 250 men and 15o women and children to cross the mountains with him and make a new home. They did this in the winter of 1779, and on April "A, 17SO, settled on the bluffs of Nashville.

Assassination is the chief business OF
the terrible oath bound order OF the
Malta, which for more than thirty years
has maintained rein Of terror in Sicily,
and, although the government OF Italy
has at times made efforts toward its sup
preston, il is today the most powerful
organization Of assassins in the world.
No mans life is safe in any part OF the
kingdom il he has an enemy rich enough
and unscrupulcus enough to invoke the
aid Of these mercenaries. Assassination
is their profession, robbing their diver
sion. With such secrecy and skill are
their crimes perpetrated that the officers
OF the law have seldom been able to
discover the culprits, and such ter
rorism have they inspired that no pub
lie prosecutor has dared to attempt to
bring the instigators or executioners
OF their conspiracies to justice through
fear that he himself might fall victim
to their murderous revenge. A decade
ago New Orleans was the scene OF many
violent disturbances because Of the
Malta and the trouble finally eliminated
in the murder of Chief OF Police Hen
nessey in 1891. Sixteen men were ar
rested and charged with the crime, but
the jury failed to convict any Of them.
This 30 enraged the people that mob
secured eleven of the men whose guilt
seemed indisputable and summarily
lynched them. This action caused q
serious diplomatic alteration with the
Italian government, but since that time
New Orleans has been singularly free
from trouble with the Malta.

1t is a year before national conven-
tions will nominate presidential candi-
dates and publish declarations of poll
cies, but there is no doubt that an at
tempt ia being made to crystalize senti-
fnent SO that the issues will be defined
we'll in advance. Manifestly, the long
platform adopted by the republican
convention of Ohio was intended to
serve as a suggestion for the principles
ior next year. In addition to local state
issues, nearly every important national
question was touched upon, and state
ment was made as to the stand the re.
publican party should take upon them.
The advice Of Ohio republicans is not
necessarily binding upon republicans in
other parts OF the country, but clear
enanciation Of party policies in so large
und important state is bound to have
influence on party gatherings elsewhere.

DAYS OF CYCLONES.

The "cyclone days" have come in
Nebraska, and everyone is on the look
out for the "twisters" which play such
havoc during the early spring time in
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and other
prairie states. After the hot day comes
the cool evening, and it is at that time
that the cyclone gets in its work. Farm
and ranch houses throughout the west
are built with their cyclone cellars, just
as they are with kitchens, and, while the
cyclone cellar is not used as often as is
the kitchen, yet when it is wanted it is
in greater demand than is the cook
room.

Photographs Of cyclone were taken
last spring and probably are the most
remarkable of their kind ever made.
They show the cyclone forming, and
were made from the entrance to cy-
clone cellar. The nerve Of man who
could calmly focus his camera on the
swiftly approaching cyclone is some
thing to be admired. And when two
twisters appeared nearby and were
photographed by the same amateur his
nerve is to be wondered at. But when
five OF the monsters came racing toward
his little cave it was too much for any
human being to brave, and into the
cyclone cellar went the photographer,
failing to secure photographs OF the
"fock" Of cyclones

The Tacoma News criticised the peo-

THEIR DIGESTION rs BAD.

The view Of life and present condi-
tions, as expressed by the Western
Federation Of Miners, is not Of roseate
hue. According to the resolutions Of
the Denver convention indorsing the
principles Of the socialist party, every
thing has gone wrong in the world. No
such wall Of despair has gone up for a
long time, and il matters were as bad
as the miners convention represented
them to be, there would be a ready ad-
mission that the new century had in.
deed brought evil times upon the land.

Nebraska cyclones usually blow from
the southwest, and travel toward the
northeast. There have been very few
destructive cyclones in the state, al
though this is probably due to the
sparsely settled condition Of certain
parts of the state, as many "twisters"
are seen during the spring and early
summer months.

On hot afternoon last May, near
Scribner, Neb., when not breath of air
was stirring, heavy, black cloud began
rising rapidly into view. At 4:15 p. m.
the cloud became SO threatening that
everyone took to his cellar. Ten min
utes later the now rapidly revolving
cloud developed cyclonic symptoms, and
few minutes later the proverbial
funnel" appeared and swooped toward
the earth. Another 10 minutes passed
and another elephant trunk" appear
ed, and the two cyclones worked havoc
in the surrounding fields.

all may desire; certain evils may have
risen in recent years as result of mod
ern economical developments. But no
man who is built right and enjoys ment-
al good health is going to admit that
"political independence is bauble and
delusion, while the toiling millions
bear the yoke of wage slavery in the in
dustrial field"
1t is hazardous thing for an ambi-
tious citizen with well ordered intel
lect to follow the lead of those who in
clude in their doctrines such stuff as
this: "No man among the vast army Of
laboring humanity can successfully as
sert his manhood while his necessities
make him suppliant at the foot of an
other for job which he must have to
sustain life"
For years millions have been bearing
this "yoke OF wage slavery" which is
nothing more nor less than giving days
work for days pay. Ninty-nine
per cent Of the successful men Of today
were at one time "slaves." But they
never lost their manhood, and they
were never owned by their employers
except in so far as they sold their in
telligence and energy for considera-
tion. 1t will be safer to leave the So
luton OF modern problems to such men
rather than to those who frame or in
dorse the incorporate utterance Of the
Western Federation of Miners. .-Spokes-
