Analysis of the October failures by
branches of business shows that only
two of the fourteen manufacturing di-
visions reported smaller liabilities than
last year. chemicals and miscellaneous.
The increase over last years figures was
greatest in iron and machinery, large
insolvencies occurring in harvesters,
iron works, automobiles, engines and
shoe machinery. Heavy liabilities were
also reported in several lines of brew
cries and cigarmakers. Five of the four
teen trading classes reported smaller
losses than last year, particularly drugs,
hotels and liquors. Aside from the mis-
cellaneous class. which was swelled by

Somebody must have given Henry
Clews a tip" In the latest issue of the
Financial Review he says: Congress
will do little or nothing until after the
presidential election. a year hence, and
no disturbance need be expected from
that quarter. One of the most import
ant uncertainties is the Northern Secur-
tiles case, a decision being expected
from the United States supreme court
in December Upon this decision some
most important financial operations will
certainly depend" Congress is now in
session three weeks ahead of the regu-
lar time. The country may find interest
in watching the proceedings in order to
see whether the relations between that
body and Wall street be as intimate as
is indicated by the paragraph quoted
above.

BEGIN ON NORTH SIDE.
Mr.. Myers Says Work Is to
Commence Soon.

Vice President L. Z. Myers of the
Topeka railway company has returned
from a two weeks absence in Chicago
and Peoria. Mr.. Myers says his trip
was on business connected with his
fstreet railway interests in Peoria, and
that he doesn't know of anything new
regarding the affairs of the Topeka
company of which he is vice president
and general manager. He says work
in North Topeka will begin at once as
hand for that. bur that the other con-
struction work will be im3eded by the
inability to get all the material needed.
I'VE are about ready to begin work
over the river" said he today, and
will get to it in the course of the next
week or So Well put through our
North Topeka construction in a hurry
as we have enough ties and rails for it.
The men are having a nasty time clear
ing away the debris of the old street car
bridge in the river but We'll have that
cleared out before long. Our plans for
the new bridge are in the hands of the
streets and walks committee. I do not
know when we can get the material we
want for the new bridge. 1t is slow IN
coming as we got our order in late and
have to take our turn. The builders
are getting along nicely with the work
on the street car barns and l believe
the concrete will make a very fine look
ing and durable structure"
Mr.. Myers entered a forcible denial
of the statement that the Topeka Rail-
way company has been absorbed by the
! General Electric company to be a part
of a system of city railways through
this state and Nebraska which would

urban lines. He says it is fake The

CHURCH AS A MONUMENT.
Never to Be Used as a Place o
Worship.

In the small town of Naples. situated
on the coast. near Santa barbara. is
a substantially built stone church that
has never been used for any other
purpose than as a sepulcher for man
and q dog. The dogs name does no
appear in the dedication plate, but his
body lies beside that of his master in
the mausoleum back of the church
The inscription on the plate over the
door of the church reads:
This church is erected to the glory
of God and His Son. Jesus Christ; and
in memory of the founder of Naples,
John II. Williams"
Naples has been without a church
ever since it was founded. and the lack
was a source of considerable regret to
a. number of its citizens. In good time
the omnipresent phi1anthropist arose
in their midst and said that he would
build church and present it to the
town. This man was the founder.
John H. Williams. He had a good deal
of trouble in getting material for his
church. The first lot of shingles was
so bad that it could not be used, and
the builder decided to send to Europe
for fresh supply. He was a man of
considerable wealth, and had arranged
to ex0end at least $4,000 on the struc-
ture. He was destined not to see the
fulfllment of his plans; he died while
the decorato tors were still at work on
the interior of the building. His pet
dog. an animal of which he was ex-
tremely fond, died at about the same
time. Williams did not leave any di-
rections regarding the furtherance OF
his plans. nor state what DISPOSITION
should be made of his remains. so the
widow took the reins in her own
hands. Work on the church was
stopped and the doors were closed.
This church. she said, shall never
be used as place of worship. 1t shall
stand just as it is-a monument to my
dead husband"
And she caused the dog to be buried
with him. for his love for the animal
had amounted almost to a passion
The dog had been his constant com
panion in life. and in death they were
not to be divided. There is no sextor
or keeper in charge of the church. and
it has consequently a neglected, for
lorn appearance, although it has beer
standing only since 1897. The interior
was once used as a receptacle for hay
and has never been swept out Cob
webs and dust hang from the beams
and the steps are overgrown with
weeds.-San Francisco Chronicle.

a constant supply of clean linen-these
are the outfit, and if there are only
two of you you can enjoy all this out

are all sorts of things you can hire
separately, from q gasoline stove on
which you can prepare your meals to
an extra blanket to keep you warm at
night But-still more of a novelty
here is hotel where you can bring
your own room with you. for there is
space which is rented to persons who
wish to erect their own tents.
Water is supplied to the whole settle
ment through pipes, and iced water for
drinking is dispensed from barrels,
placed along the streets. Streets? In
deed there are, with numbers and ave-
nues-streets that are macadamized and
streets lined with arching trees In the
center of the larger cities there are drug
stores and cafes, groceries and dentists
offices, just as if it were a settlement
of brick blocks instead of canvas tents
And, just like other cities, there is q
water supply and a system of sewer
age; there are street sprinklers and g
fire department.
The variety of the attractions exceeds
that of any hotel of the ordinary sort
One tent is a card room, another a bill
lard room; there are band concerts and
a theater, shotoing galleries and a
casino for dances, japanese tea gardens
golf links, tennis courts, croQuet
grounds, botanical gardens, bath
houses mena geries Of monkeys and
pools where Pacific seals are squirming
for the amusement of the children. And
vet it must not be supposed that these
diversions partake of a "Coney Island
atmosphere" On the contrary, the tent
cities have a family appearance from
end to end, and even at the band con-
certs given every evening the audiences
are, socially. of the neighborhood type

bly, one meets at the park beaches on
