Life looks dark indeed when a

Borrows State Money,

According to the Alexandria Herald
the city council Of that place has set
an example that might be followed
with profit by other towns. Recently
the council voted SO 1000 for the con-
struction OF a waterWorks system and.
among the bidders Tor the bonds was
G. ]. Bach, school land commissioner.
Under the new law the commissioner
was enabled to place the school money
in municipal bonds at 5 per cent in
terest. The Alexandria council ac-
cepted the proposition OF the school
land commissioner, who gave it the
privilege of drawing the money on
the bonds just as they needed it, and
as a large portion Of the money will.
not be needed at the start tile city
will save that much interest on The
bonds, and which will amount to a
pretty good premium. Eventually
Alexandria will get a portion of It's
money back in the superintendent OF
the school fund Of the state. This is
one matter that should not be over
looked when money can lie borrowed
OF the state.

FrEt#HE ~ NJ " FEHE7r.NBHs
G. W. GiliIs got some ~notoriety In
the Shoe and Leather Gazette, pub
lished at st. Louis, Mo-, for a breezy
advertisement he placed in The Re
publican a short time ago. This is
what the, trade journal has to say of
the effective advertising of MI. ellis:
C. w. ellis, of Mitchell, South
Dakota, is emphatic. His last double
column ad in The Daily Republican
reads. "We have the best 80. so shoe
for ladies this side Of -,
This is quite comprehensive, as
is a long Way from Dakota. 1t is pop
ularly understood throughout the
West that's just beyond the outer
fringes of Texas, and Texas would
hardly be called within walking dis
lance of the town Of the vociferous
ellis. 1t may be a. of fine ad,
for the locality. Ordinarily ladies do
not take as much interest in cosmo-
graphical details as they do in styles.
but the ladies of Mitchell are proba-
bly, flocking TO the store and inquir-
ing why In - didn't you say so
before, CLIP"
He does not mention a shoe for
ladies the other side Of, but prob
ably he has them.
Mr.. ellis devotes his entire atten-
tion to the shoe trade and his excel
lent advertising features have con-
tributed much to his successful BUSH
ness.

A Business Epitaph.

Amusing epitaphs are not difficult tc
find II one is seeking them. The Che
shire Republican cites most singular
one which may be found on monn-
ment in eastern Tennessee:
Sacred to the memory of John Smith,
for twenty years senior partner Of the
firm of Smith & Jones, now j. ]. Jones &
Co.
The names are not really Smith and
Jones, but they will answer for the
purposes of the story. IL met Jones
later" says the narrator, land he gave
me frank explanation of the inscrip-
ton.
Smith was a bachelor without rela-
tives," he said, but he knew ire
mendous lot Of country people, and If
any of them happened to see his grave
they might think that the old house
had closed up and gone out Of business.
So | thought it no more than right to
let them know that the firm was still
alive"

BUSINESS FEATURES.

Last week was an eveptful one in the
stock market. more failures occurring,
while prices fell to the Lowest point
since January, 1901. Yet there has been
no sponding decentralization in
trade or industry. From an average of
'$l16.27 last September the sixty active
railway shares have fallen about $3l,
and it is not surprising that few con-
Germs have found it impossible to meet
their obligations. Considering the great
shrinkage in the market value of Sc
curities. it is evidence OF solidty in the
business world that suspensions are not
more numerous. and most OF those thus
far reported were due to pool opera
tons in specialtes rather than general
weakness. Trade advices from nearly
every section continue 10 show as fa-
vorabe conditions as year ago, and in
many lines the volume of transactions
has increased. Jobbers report fall bust

a few weeks. Earnings for July ex-
ceeded last years by 12.7 per cent and
those of 1901 by 20.2 per cent. On the |
whole. news from the farms is less fla

PITY THE STRAW MAN,

Another straw man has been given
the darnedest licking a straw man ever
got. He has been SO numerically
whalloped by the Cedar Rapids Repub-
dican that the editor chants the bravery
Of his deeds while he rushes to the at
tack, as all brave fighters IN past ages
have been wont to do. THAT S2,419, 600
still looks little ferocious, but II won't
after we get thru with the next COM
putation,' bravely exclaims the Repub-
other paralyzer.
Such terrible combat is sickening to
read about but, since it was all precip'-
tated by an innocent paragraph in the
Times-Republican, explanation here
might not be out of place. The T.-R.
casually called attention to the fact
that the executive council, during the
two years OF Governor Cummins' adj
niinistration. had raised railroad as
easements nine millions or more and
ventured the suggestion that newspa-
pers in the habit OF snesring at the is
sue of two years ago might well observe
this fact with profit.
1t seems that the campaign prior TO
the Cedar Rapids convention is still
very tender subject with the Cedar
Rapids paper. at least the remark
called for fight and The Republican
Immediately constructed straw man
for the licking.
Here's the story of the battle:
Take the increase this year of So
s29,S4I,' exclaims the Republican that
looks big. Standing by itself it looms |
sp until the spirit of anti railroadisn |
,airly gloats. But in the meantime the |
railroad mileage increased from 9,415 |
to 1886. or by PSI miles; that means I
that line clear across the state was |
added to the mileage. Presumably that |
PSI miles was worth $4,000 a INLET /
might have cost $4,000 a mile even. |
But take it at $4,000 81 mile, and we
have s2,S1o,000 of the increase ac-
counted for. This s2,S10,0O0 taken from
the $5,229,000 leaves only $2419.OOO In
real increase. Some of this might be
taken out because of double tracking
and so on, but let it stand as the
amount by which the railroads actually
had it 'socked to them in order to
prove that the threats of two years ago
were genuine"
Now the popularity about this straw
man. like most of the other straw men
that the Republican attacks, is that Il
has been carefully constructed by the
Republican editor with view to MAX I,
ing victory for himself, in the !
fight, magnificent. If the fig j
ures IN the above assumption 5
were correct great would be the glory :
for the Republican, but, the figures pre- s
pared by the secretary of the executive i
council tell another story. His figures s

NO CHEAP WHEAT THIS WEAR.

The wheat farmers of the northwest
Notwithstanding that in some part
drouthy conditions have cut the whea
yield appreclably, are likely to gain
more by the rise in the price of theil
staple than will be lost IN bushels. The
gradually rising prices of wheat vii
benefit them. AT Minneapolis Saturday

cents and No. northern one cent low

stone of the wheat raiser's prosperity

has had its effect in assisting the
continued advance II has been
the conditions of present sup
ply and demand and the pros
pect of still more limited supply that
. are responsible for the advance which
wheat experts figure has not yet
reached its limit The visible supply Is
the shortest in five years.
One year ago at this time there was
q visible supply of 22,0eo,000 bushels,
two years ago 29OoOOO0 bushels, three
years ago 100000 bushels. four years
ago 100000 bushels, so the available
stock Is now Gar below the average. The
Canadian crop is 1o,000.o00 bushels I'M
der last year.
Here IN Minneapolis according to
the Journal, stocks of wheat from
choice to poor show the ridiculously
small total of 2,225,0oo nusneis. this III

100000 bushels a year. To be sure the

just as 81 cents for September looks |
high. and it takes time TO become used |

There is winter wheat harvest al
ready secured of good quality, but be-
low former expectations IN quantity /
The spring wheat yield is believed to
be considerably under last year and re-
ports covering this will appear today.
1t is already certain that no such guam

promise led the trade 10 expect. and
that Europe Will have TO buy our wheat

Everything considered, there is likely to
be no low wheat or cheap milling prod
