the Textile Council on the agents re-
fusal to grant increase of 10 per cent.
in wages went into the mills at bell
time, today. Speed was started in all
the mills and while the question of a
victory for the mill agents is yet in
doubt, conditions point that way.
The Textile Council claims that it has
won at the first test of strength and
that later developments will show that
it will compel cessation of work. Ev-
cry mill agent in an interview says he
is satisfied with the showing.
When the mills closed, April l. II 900
persons lost their employment. Of
these 1000 have remained in the city,
the remainder going elsewhere chiefly
to Canada, and of these IS per cent
went to the mill gates, this morning
Nearly half of this number saw the

Topeka, Kan, June 1.-Tonight at s
O'Clock, the water in the Kansas river
had gone down IA inches and was fall
ing at the rate of half an inch an hour.
From Manhattan, up the river. comes
the report that the water there is lowly
falling. AT Wamego the same condition
prevails and it is not reasonably GER
tain that the waters here will steadily
recede
At this time there are 81 known dead.
The distress of the sufferers is be-
ing relieved. Those who are still in
North Topeka are being supplied with
food and they are practically no dam
ger except from sickness.
One of the most distressing features
of the situation now is the possibility
that there will be a spread of con-
tagious diseases. People of all classes
are huddled together in houses not
large enough for them and on all sides
they are surrounded by water. Doctors
and medical relief cannot reach the
sufferers to any great extent
This afternoon case of diphtheria
was reported from the wooden mill in
North Topeka where there are a large
number of children in addition to the
adults. There is also a case or two of
scarlet fever among the refugees on
the north side. Hundreds of cases of
measles are prevalent among the chill
dren and on account of the exposed
conditions of the patients will result
fatally in many cases.

SOME comment has been made on the
purchase by Dean Liggett of the State
agricultural college of an Aberdeen
Angus steer which was bred by a Min
nesota breeder at Jackson, Minn. The
price paid for the animal was $500, and
Prof. Thos. Shaw says that the steer is
one OF the finest specimens he ever saw,
and the animal is said to be perfect
type OF its class. Prof. Shaw saws:
Our college has been exhibiting at the
international fat stock show at Chicago
each fall for the past three years, COM
peting against other agricultural COL
leges. The school has won more prizes
than any other college. It is important
that this reputation be maintained
The prize money during these three
years has paid all OF the expense of
these exhibits with more than 500
protit.' Prof. Shaw says that the Min
nesota agricultural college is justified
in eNpending the sum of $500 to secure
a perfect type of the Aberdeen-Angus
breed Of cattle and that instead Of in
dulging in criticisms of the authorities
for purchasing such good animals they
should be commended for the work. A
perfect type Of a steer Of any class will
always prove of great value to the ex-
pertinent station and the students who
attend the same.

to him by the county commissioners

Slower Time,

The Great Northern put into effect a
new time card on some Of it's lines last
Sunday, but as we have no Sunday
trains Princeton people did not notice
any change until Monday morning
when some of them did some lively
hustling to catch the morning train
which came in ten minutes earlier
The change on this line amounts to
very little here. The southbound
train arrives at 1856 instead Of II or
rather leaves at that time, as the train
usually remains here FIVE minutes or
more. Northbound the train arrives
at the same time. There is no change
at the twin city terminals, but the
morning train leaves Duluth at 6:2O A.
NJ. instead of GAS, and arrives at Du-
luth at 9:25 instead of 8 o'clock under
the old schedule. The effect of the
change is to make the running time
slower between Duluth and the twin
cities. The St. Cloud Journal Press
says: mo. %, from AIilaca, arrives
now at ll:20 and departs fifteen min
utes later, No. westbound comes from
St. Paul ll.22 and goes west at 11:30.

and sends out the other train ahead

THE B4NKER,S WOLF.

:. AT the annual meeting Of the State
bankers association held in St. Paul
last week: Judge Lusk, president Of the
National German-American bank of
that city in an address sounded note
of warning which it seems the papers
took up and very much garbled the re-
ports of the Judges address. He evil
IDENTIFY talked in a somewhat pessimis-
tic strain as he said that the country
bank balances in the city of Chicago
this year were s10,000,0O0 less than
a year ago and that the banks of Iowa
were in rather bad shape, and that
hardly a day passed but what some
country bank was reported in trouble.
Just how much of this statement was
came out in an article in the Pioneer
Press and denied much Of what the re-
ports credited him with having said.
However, he was very emphatic in his
caution to the bankers to be on their
guard. Such statements may be all
right in a star-chamber session OF the
bankers, but to cast such reports
broadcast over the country works great
injury to all interests. Any school boy
knows that it matters not if the metro
politan balances of country banks do
fall off some, as country banks are not
obliged to keep heavy balances at city
banks when they can use their money
at home to better advantage. This
statement cuts no ice. AS, for country
banks being in trouble there is not
a bank anywhere in the northwest that
is run on correct business principles
that is in trouble or is in any danger
of being in trouble. There is nothing
to occasion any alarm at all on the part
of anyone. The panic of 1898 clearly
showed that it was not the country
banks that were SO much in trouble as
it was the city banks whose officials
had in SO many cases loaned specula-
tive favorites money that the business
gamblers could never hope to return.
If the city banks could be as sure
of as good security as the average
country banks there would be little oc-
easion for alarm. Farm lands in the
northwest at present prices are as good
security as :any banker could desire,
and chattel mortgages on farm stock
and the usual securities given to coun-
try banks will rank up with the gilt
edged securities OF the city banks.
The country is prosperous and there is
no earthly reason why it should not re-
main prosperous so long as the busi-
ness interests of the country maintain
a sound and healthy equilibrium.
Land values in Minnesota at least are
not inflated, the cities seem to be en-
joying a healthy growth and develop
ment, and there is no stagnation in any
lines Of business, and unless the bank
ers Of the country allow themselves to
be dragged into a speculative trap by
making heavy loans and investments in
questionable industrial and mining
stocks and lands which have not
proved their value, there need be no
danger Of any alarm.

ON WAGES.
 GOING DOWN

The news of the reduction in wages is most unwelcome event on any oc. casion, and especially those of the op. eratives in he mills of the cotton working districts of Fall River. Mass, and contiguous points Those familiar with the geography of New England Will appreciate this statement the more, from the great number of clean. ly. thrifty villages which dot the en- tire lines of numerous railways through Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, and in Maine and northern Massachusetts, north of the line of the old FitchDurg roads. The threatened strike on Monday next which will involve nearly .su,00O en- ployees in the Fall River district would be local affair practically. were it not for the fact that the strike is like ly to extend to Connecticut and Rhode Island.
 The plea of the mil owners is that the reduction in wages is necessary. They have been complaining a good deal lately about the high price of ma terials. From thIs distance it is scarce ly possible to express an intelligent opinion as 10 the soundness of their contention.
 When reductions of wages have oc- cured under Democratic administra- tons. the Republicans have always as- serted that they were due to either bad legislation or the dread of it. In like manner also they have also claimed all the credit for all the prosperity of the last few years. in- c.--ing every increase in wages. There has in this instance, however. been TO change in legislation that could affect wages. nor is there any in t- prospective future. The Republi- can party is still In full charge of all departments of the government. Ac- cording to the theories of the Repub- lican party these reductions in wages. not only in New EDeland. but all over the country, should not be taking place. If the RepuDAcan party is not responsible for them, it certainly should not be entitled to any ~r credit for increased wages. nor for the prosperity with which it's lease of offices has been coincident with tpese later years.
