THE SETTINGS.

Those who have travelled widely say that they have seen no wilder and more majestic scenery than that which surrounds the hotels of Castle Creek Hot Springs. There are higher mountains, but none more rugged and wild, or none with richer colorings. The buildings and grounds lie in a bowl of which there is no apparent outlet. As a matter of fact there are only two by wagon road. One is up the gorge and the other down it. There are hundreds of attractive and strik> ing bits of scenery. Trails have been made on many of the mountains which may be climbed. some with ease and some with difficulty which lends inter- est to the undertaking and creates an appetite. It should be mentioned that among the means of amusement and recreation is a nicely lail out ten his court.
 There are things in the vicinity of the springs worth walking long dis tance to see. For instance there is l The Four Tanks really the five tanks.
 Water in the course of ages has cut d perpendicular niche. so feet high in the face of the rocks along the gorge. It has left cup about twenty feet from the top, larger one big as an old fashioned cistern twenty-five or thirty feet below that. A short dis tance nearer the base there is still larger cup. At the base there is an | other and at the very entrance into the niche there is still another. At | times water pours into the first cup

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

Henry Clews in his weekly trade
letter says a good deal of unnecessary
uneasiness has been manifested at
the high level of loans, which would
instantly disappear If 1t were realized
that the capital of Clearing House
banks has increased fully $30,0O0,000
in the last two years. 1t should also
not be forgotten that we have enor-
mously decreased our foreign loans,
an improvement not rejected at all in
the weekly bank statement. Further,
six months heavy liquidation and
lower prices have largely increased
the banks lending capacity, so that
the prospects now are that we shall
escape any dangerous stringency,
though bankers seem to expect a
good demand for funds at profitable
rates. The treasury seems likely to
absorb funds more freely, and this
week we have shipped about $4,000
600 gold to satisfy continental de-
mands, but as an offset our gold sup
plies are being augmented by home
anu INlOAu1hS pIOuuCILOu anu Tic sup
ply of currency has been materially
increased during the past year by
new bank circulation.
Much depends on the crop outcome
Though the season is very backward
still the conditions of wheat, corn and
cotton are such as to promise abund-
ant yield should the weather pending
the harvest be a fair average. Mer-
chants are operating cautiously, the
high prices Of many articles CT mer-
chandise checking consumption and
the carrying of large
stocks. Manufacturers are often en-
harrassed by labor exactions and the
difficulty Of securing better prices for
their products. So long as consumers
could be made to pay for these in
creased costs the demands of labor
we're readily acceded to. The situa-
ion now, however, is changing, and
agitation of this sort is on the wane.
Railroad earnings continue large and
he iron industry preserves its re-
narkable activity;yet in both Of these
divisions of industry profits are dimin-
shing and little talk is heard of in

Convention of Teachers at ottunwa
n~ a Great Success.

From the reports which have been
received from the convention of the
Iowa Musical Association at Ottum.
wa, it would seem almost impossible
to give an adequate description of the
interesting event. Everybody who at
tended speaks in highest terms OF
tho event, from both social and mu,
steal standpoint. The programs Civ
en- were delightful, the entertainment
was bo1nteOus and pleasing and the
people of OttumWa were more than
generous in their work.
Mrs. Florence Hyde Hull was the
only vocalist who was on the program
from Oskaloosa and her work was
spoken Of in the highest terms and
the appause received was enthusias-
tic and hearty. Her rendition of Gou-
mods Lend Me Your Aid-Queen of
Sheba," was highly pleasing and is
spoken of as having been given with
great dramatic effect. She was ac-
by Miss Lillian Hughes,
who was very acceptable in her work.
The convention was a great success
and is said to have been the best ever
held in the state.

BEATING The CHURCHES.

Hon. A. G. Rankin, the temperance
lecturer, who recently visited Oska
locsa, is now in Marshalltown. His
success there is evidenced by the fact
that the editor of the Times-Republi
can admits having attended his lee,
lures. The editor, however, does not
seem to have gone for the purpose OF
helping to knock out tho CUP that in
ebriates, but found food for other re-
hect1ons in his unusual surroundings.
Most of the assemblage were strans-
ers to him, from which he reasoned
that they were the extreme prohibi-
ton enthusiasts from the environs.
The work Of the lecturer was able
and truly deserving" he goes on to
say, and adds: when it came to the
collection a local mister pleaded
manfully for a liberal response
on the grounds that the lectur-
er; in his great work, depended Who'll
ly upon the generosity of his audi
ences for his living and his hall ex-
penses, but what was the surprise oil
the newspaper man when the collec-
tion platter reached him containing
not single coin larger than FIVE
cent piece! To look at it one would |
marvel that so many "nickels" could
be found in one town. The editor |
was indignant. He believed that If a |
man was worth going to hear at all he
was worth more than five cents of any
other mans money. Such contribu-
ton would avoid the appearance of
to chip in, but would hardly
oay for the evenings light bill. To
hink that several hundred enthusi-
lsts would rally around so inspiring a
ecturer and no one on that side of
he church measure his loyalty byI
nore than a paltry car fare coin was

They also seek to arouse public senti-
ment through the press that the work
may be more effective, and that their
righteous demands may have the
backing of the whole country. The
kernel of their appeal is contained in
the following closing demands:
"The United States should insist on
a revision or amendment of its treaty
with Russia to the effect that no
American citizen visiting that coun-
try, or desiring to sojourn there, pre-
senting an American passport, shall
be refused admission on account of
his religious belief.
"Such action would be American,
and as Americans we demand such
action.
I'VE demand such action because
we are Americans, and we would be
unworthy of American citizenship did
we not demand it.
I'VE demand it because it is our
right under the law, and because our
demand is just, reasonable and honor,
able.
I'VE demand it because it is in the
interest Of all Americans and of the
integrity OF American citizenship, and
we demand it in behalf of that integ'
rity,
ITO that end we ask the co-opera
tion Of all our fellow-citizens, in pri
vate life and in the public service;
and we especially ask those who are
empowered to- frame and execute the
laws of the United States to aid in
this just cause"

position to fourth term for any

seems possible that Mr.. Barrett will

of the people generally, no considera-

can be urged against his candidacy at

this consideration has been thorough

it does not seem possible that the
state convention in the face OF this
demonstration will set a fourth term
precedent. Mr.. Barrett's personal
standing in the district has been az
tested by it's lowal support OF him an

SPEND YouR MONEY AT HOME

Apropos the advantage of patrntz-
ing home merchants and industries
the experience of a Missouri farmer
near Centralia is in point. Ten years
ago he put an Xmark on a silver dol
lar and went to town to spend it with
a merchant. Before the year was out
he got the marked dollar back Tor
poultry and spent it again with Cen"
tralia merchant. Four times in SIX
years that dollar came home to him
for produce and three other times he
heard Of it in the pockets of his neigh
bors. The next time ne got 1t IN
change. Nearly four years ago, he
sent it to a mail order house that had
amassed a hundred million dollars by
selling third rate goods for second
rate prices. The Centralia Democrat
thus tells the result:
"He has not seen the dollar since
and will not till the crack Of doom
That dollar will never pay any more
school or road tax for him, never help
build up the town or county, never
bless and brighten the home of his
neighbors. He sent it entirely our
of the circle of its usefulness to him. u
The same paper deduces a moral
from the incident that should be heed
ed in making purchases, to-wit:
Spend your dollars where you will gel
chance at them again; where they
will help pay your taxes, build your
bridges, educate your children and en-
hance the value of your farms.

RIGHTS OF CITIZENS.

The Israelite Alliance of America
has issued a strong appeal to the
country demanding that the badge of
citizenship should confer the right on
every American citizen, armed with
an American passport, to travel and
sojourn anywhere unmolested. The
appeal is occasioned by the refusal of
Russia and other countries to admit
Jews in certain provinces, notwith-
standing the fact that they are natur-
allied American citizens.

out during the summer months cam

an interesting letter home giving an
account of the trip to the field of oper-

Scranton, Pa, June %.
Dear Folks at Home: Eight Of our
company arrived in Scranton today,
the others taking up their work at
Wilkesbarre. We have secured rooms
in the same house and will make our
headquarters here for the summer.
We begin business tomorrow Mr..
Davis, the publisher, met us at Wilkes
barre, gave us a lecture and instruct
ed us thoroughly and drilled us in the
art Of disposing of our goods.
The country in Illinois looked much
like Iowa, but through Indiana there
was much more of timberland and the
country was fatter. New York and
Pennsylvania are both exceedingly
hilly and rocky. One field in particu-
lar Of which took notice had been re-

would take to be mountains, but am
told they are mere babies by the side
of a real mountain.
About our trip. After an hours
wait we changed cars in Peoria from
the Iowa Central to the "Big Four"
and departed from that place at p.
m. We reached Indianapolis at $3.50
a. m, after a practically sleepless
ride. The passenger station at In.
dianapolis is just grand. AS many
people are there at night as by day.
We left this city at s o'clock a, m.
and travelled on to Cleveland along the
shore of Lake Erie and thence to
Rrtfalo, arriving at $3.50 p. M, and all
so thoroughly tired out that we laid
over there all night. The next morn
ing we took the excursion to Niagara
Falls. l wish I could tell you how
grand the falls are, but it is impossi,
BILE to write it. Most of us crossed
the bridge into Canada where Ane
