DIALECT RESCUE PLAN OFF.
Yale Frofessor's Proposed Trip to
Collect Dying Languages
Abandoned,

The plan Of Prof. Scripture, of the
psychological department of Yale uni
versity, to send through the west q car
equipped with gramophones and man
aged by party of Yale men, in order
to collect records of Indian dialects now
fast disappearing in that section, has
been given up. Prof. Scripture was en-
thusiastic over the scheme and proposed
the idea to the American Anthropolog-
ical society In hopes that the members
would furnish the money to carry on the
work. Expecting that the society would
back him up, he made extensive plans
and trained several men to manage the
party. Then he decided to spend year
abroad and the work was turned over to
the psychologists of Harvard, but it was
announced that the entire plan. had
been given up. -, =
1t was Prof. Scriptures intention to
thoroughly train half dozen men, fit
up an ordinary travelling coach with
gramophones, and then send the party
through the west and into: Canada,
wherever Indian tribes could be found
who spoke dying dialect.

In an article published in the Wall
Street Journal Roderick Smith thus
points out one of the dangers attend
ant upon the present haphazard money
system of this country:
The secretary of the treasury, it Is
said, proposes to increase the govern
ment deposits in national banks from
Internal revenue receipts, which have
been. segregated in the treasury and
which now amount to some IS million
dollars. The government deposits in
the banks now amount to about 1855
million dollars. The secretary at
present does not need to withdraw any
of this money, but in the event that he
should desire to withdraw it, now or
at later date, the interesting qaes-
tion arises, Can he get it back, in any
considerable sums, without seriously
dislocating the affairs of the CONNER
cial world? This money is now loaned
out by banks to business men; in
many cases, doubtless, forming q
foundation for credit in the proper.
tion of four to one, and, in the event
of demand for it's repayment, cash,
not checks, would be required, as the
treasury is not q bank. *s> X e.,

alton which now is slowly being Great

stantly growing government deposits

The Grange a Teacher.

Gilbert Hubbard says, '"The teacher
is one who makes two ideas grow
where there was only one BEFORE" If
his definition is correct the grange
must come near being teacher Of
men. The benefit we derive from a
grange meeting is not so much the
number of abstract facts we pick up
from the discussions as it is in the i'm
pulse it gives us to think for ourselves.
Anything which will crack our shell
Of Indifference and mediocrity and set
us thinking for ourselves is worth
while. 1t is not necessary that we &C.
cept as gospel all the statements we
hear in the grange meeting. If it
makes us think we will be able to sift
the wheat from the chaff, and it will
prevent us getting into a rut and will
all the time lead us toward ultimate
tuth.-G. A.. F.

LEVEL OF THE LAKES
Not the Least Danger That It VIII
Fail PermanentlY.
Prof. Mosely Predicts That Coming
Generation Will See the Water
Even Higher Than 1t
IL To-Day.

There is no danger of the level Of the
great lakes falling permanently. So
says Prof. E. l.. Mosely in an article in
the National Geographic Magazine. Il
believe that people now at Chicago,
Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland and To-
ledo will live to see the water higher
than their fathers ever saw it," adds
Prof. Mosely. 'The same cannot be
said of places on Lake Huron or the
northern parts of Lake Superior and
Michigan, for the slow fitting of the
earth's crust is such as to gradually low
er the water in those regions
The most interesting part of Prof.
Mosely's article follows: MANY people
think that the rainfall, although differ
emily distributed through tho year, aver
ages about the same one year as an
other, or If there is q deficiency one year
It will be made up the next. With this
erroneous notion in mind, those con-
cerned with navigation on the great
lakes have naturally looked for some
other explanation Of changing water lev
els, for from 1883 to 1891 they witnessed
a period Of low water 80 long it seemed
unreasonable to expect it ever to attain
its former level. However, a comparison
of the level of Lake Erie, as shown by
the gauge at Cleveland, with the record
Of rainfall along the great lakes shows
complete correspondence.
1.-THE high water in Lake Erie in 1902
and the heavy rainfall of that year are
fresh in the minds of those who live
near it. The weather bureau estab-
lished number of stations on the great
lakes In 1870. The first marked devia-
ton from normal level in Lake Erie aft
or this was in 1872, when the water was
lower than for many years before or
after. The rainfall that year was below
the normal at every station on the great

Please Give Us . Rest.

It would be decidedly refreshing
just now if this country could have q
rest from the cowboy atmosphere that
seems to gather force In and around
the executive mansion at Washington
and then spread from there in various
directions.
The last wild west stunt is young
Teddy Roosevelt's junket to the Black
Hills country and his proposed ride
of eighty miles horseback across the
mountains. The lad has wag red
with his melodramatic father, so a
press dispatch announces, that he will
beat all presidential records on that
ride:
It is all very we'll for young Mr..
Roosevelt to canter across the noun
tains on fiery steed, and if he rides
like a whirlwind it is nobody's bust
ness. Yet it is rather nauseous for
us to be surfeited with stories of how
President Roosevelt in the Whi'e
house is centering all of his thong hts
upon whether it is possible for the boy
to cover certain distance in a certain
number of hours, etc.
Fancy the late lamented Mckinley
.devoti G his time to such melodrama!
Fancy the late Gen. Grant engaging
in such q grandstand play!
Buffalo Bill has monopoly on the
wild west show business in this
country, and the sooner President
Roosevelt realizes that fact and gives
up the grandstand for serious bust
ness, just so much better will it be for
the people of this country, as we'll as
for the president himself.

president Of the United States, has no
right to show without a license.-St.

lumbia.

We do not know when We have
been more shocked and panied with
deeper regret of the loss of an in
dividual from our midst, than when
informed of DR.. Perry leaving
Columbia, where he has practiced
for years; doing great work, as
a christian, practitioner, and citi-
zen. Why DR.. Perry should even
consider leaving such field as
Boone county at this time, is to us,
one of the mysteries of life-for
he is much needed here, especially
fer the good of the people. AS a
physician he has been very sue
cessful, and has the confidence
largely of the people who know
him; and is respected by both
races. To know him in the sick
room is to find a friend, brother
and sympathizer, in business a
counsellor. He has done a most
excellent work here among the
people at large of this country, and
has the ability, with the expression
unusual to WIN friends wherever
he goes. The gain of others where
he may go, is our loss of a good
and useful man in the person of
DR.. Perry. He leaves us with
deep regrets from his many friends
who know and love him. DR..
Perry is a member of the Second
Baptist church at this place; he is
faithful worker and trustee in all
Of its interests, and enjoys the full
confidence of his brethren. We
respect him for what he is, and
has done for his church and com
munity at large, and commend
him to the church and public where
he may locate to labor, as a man
trustworthy of their patronage.

gathered at this historical spot last
Sunday and after listening to an

missed to have what is known as

the large shade trees near the
church the table linen was spread
on the ground and the contents of
the we'll filed baskets were placed
at the disposal of the large crowd.
