sionaly in fruiterers' shops, but never in

called 'goober-grabbers'' thruout the
south. Many farmer has grown rich on

Rich Mems Panic.

The public has. been we'll content to
know that the Wall street trouble is a
rich mans panic, because the public
knows that on the average it is poor;
hence if there has been a rich mans
panic it knows that it has not suffered. If
all the wealth in the United States were to
be distributed by equal division among
the 100000 people of this republic
there would be only s1,25O apiece. In
view Of the immense amount Of property
now owned by few, we know that those
not counted among the rich must be
poor indeed in actual material possess
sions. So, the rich mans panic misses
all but few Of us-the public
Still there is much curiosity to know
just what is the nature Of this panic
that is reducing the rich men from $500
to $10-meals, as a correspondent puts it,
while the poor man continues to get as
much at a 25-cent regular dinner as
aforetime.
From a careful reading of the columns
written by various financial sharps in

lions it Is learned that '.the case of the

What Will the Supreme Court Do9

There Is much speculation as to whether
Judge Lochren or the circuit court Of ap-
peals will be sustained by the decision Of
the supreme court when it passes on the
appeal Of the governments Northern Sc
.curities case from the court of appeals.
The composition of the court and its
precedent in the trans Missouri case give
room for the conclusion that the circuit
court Of appeals will be sustained.
In that case the court reversed both the
original court and the appellate court,
which had held that the Trans Missouri
Freight association was legal. The de-
cision Of the supreme court on this ques-
ton was by a vote Of five to four. The
five votes against the railways were those
of Justices Fuller, Peckhan, Harlan,
Brewer and Brown. All of these judges
are still on the bench. Justices Field,
Shiras, Gray and White were in favor OF
the contention Of the railways. Justices
Field and Gray are gone, and Homes and
McKenna have taken their places, but
the majority that decided against the
Trans Missouri association is intact. II
the views Of its members have not
changed the chances are that the North
ern Securities will receive it's h-blow
| from the supreme court.

some Of their securities and paid all or
parts of their loans. In some cases,
when no more collateral or no reduction
of the debt was forthcoming the lenders
closed opt the securities for whatever
they would bring.
The great majority of the men who
were thus hit, by the public tndiges-
tion, had more collateral or were able to
raise the necessary money in some way.
Their efforts to keep from sinking caused
them to precipitate large blocks of SCI
curities on the market for whatever they
would bring, and SO the more they strug-
gled to save themselves the more they de-
pressed the market. And yet there have
been very few cases of insolvency In the
panic. Men have seen the size OF their
fortunes reduced, where they had ex-
pected to increase them, but very few Of
the men who were affected by the panic
were unable to weather it. x

A REMARKABLE WIND WE'LL

The Sedan Times-Star gives an account
of the wonderful well at Dexter, Kan,
which blows out wind instead Of gas, a
phenomenon. never before encountered In
the gas or oil fields. The editor says:
"a personal visit to the well disclosed
many interesting facts. The hole is 692
feet deep. On approaching the well one
can easily smell the natural gas or wind
but you can't tell whereabouts it comes
out Of the Gaping. You can light match
and hold it around the iron cap, but no
flames arise unless you know just exactly
where to put 1t. On the first visit to the
we'll ca match was applied to all parts Of
the cap. but nothing burned. Still, there
was the kissing noise and the smell OF
gas.
After awhile Mr. Bagnall came with
wrench and opened the well. The escaping
wind, or gas, as Dexter calls it, made
deafening noise AS it rushed out OF a
two-inch pipe it had tremendous power
1t blew a tin bucket seventy five feet high.

Justice Brewer would abolish appeals
in criminal cases in order to make Justice
swift. It may not be well to abolish ap-
peals altogether, but they ought to be very
difficult to get, and be granted on only
the most substantial grounds. It must
not be forgotten, however, that one Of the
differences between public law and mob
law is that 1t Is CHARACTERISTIC Of the for
mer that it shall proceed with a certain
degree of deliberateness. When courts
begin to railroad men to the gallows with
view to making record, there may be
as much to fear from them as from the
mob.

Matrimony as q Brake.

The mayor Of Hammond, Indiana, urges
the manufacturers Of that city to give
employment only to married men.
He thinks that it Is the unmarried men
who are the disturbers of industry. They
are prone to stir up trouble because they
have little to lose and are willing to risk
that to gain something. If the perma-
nent suspension of a factory results from
their agitation, they quickly betake them
selves to other fields.
The married man, however, as the
Indians would call Man-Afraid-of His
Job. He has somebody besides himself to
think Of. There Is the wife and the chill
dren. He will not thoughtlessly take part
in an agitation that may end in the loss
Of employment in the place where he has
established his home and begun to &C.
cumulate little property.
| That marriage brings responsibility and
sobers down to serious living many
harum -scarurn youth, we all know.
| But does that prove that If every wild
and reckless young man were to be mar
ried off he would be transformed into a
sober, conservative citizen and the COM
munity be net gamer by the process?
Hardly. The Eighty youth with no more
serious calculation on his mind than as
to whether he should wear a 15-collar
with a 15shirt instead of a 1914 collar;
who, subsequent to marriage and pater-
nifty, braces up and manages to live fairly
we'll on a small salary, had, somewhere
in him a latent sense Of responsibility,
which had only to be called out.
Some of the young men who are wor-
rying the worthy mayor Of Hammond
have this sense of responsibility, but 9TH
ers have not. To marry that kind off
would be to make women miserable and
madden men. Some fairly good workmen
confronted with the problem Of support
ing a family on $40 a week, would bolt
or commit suicide, or become drunkards
whereas. single, they would have worried
along fairly respectfully on their small
= wage.

H. c.. Sticher Of Yates Center, Neb., is
not an admirer Of California. Writing to
the Yates Center News from Frisco, he
says:
. :, This city is slave to drink and to-
bacco. II you go to a theater you see
men sitting beside beautifully dressed
women smoking cigarettes or cigars, and
walters pass thru the audience at inter-
walls supplying beer and whisky to who
ever wishes 1t, and a great many wish it.
At one Of the leading theaters, when Miss
Mabel Mckinley, the favorite niece Of the
late President Mckinley, was billed to
sing, the sign Please do not smoke until
after Miss Mckinley sings, was displayed
before the curtain. OF course, some peo-
pie respect nothing and many smoked in
spite of the sign, but after her appearance
you could have cut the air with a knife"

tains the biggest fish, the biggest trees
and the biggest liars the continent has
produced. He was much disguised with

SHAKSPERE IN BRAID SCOTS

Large chips, weeds and scraps Of rope

placed near the escape valve. Green corn
stalks were torn to shreds by the wind.
Then Mr.. Bagnall took a match and
held it at the top of the outer casing.
Something burned for few moments. It
was the gas. Water was poured on the
gunneysacks in the packing, and still the
flames flickered over them. This proved
that there is some gas in the well, but
very little. 1t is said that the upper flow
of the well was gas and the lower flow
was wind. The wind comes up in the
