THE MONEY IN THE WORLD.

Statistical reports, while among
the most valuable papers issued by
the governments-natio state and
munieipal-are seldom given much
attention by the average individual.
The report of the comptroller of the
currency this year should be the ex-
ception. for il is brimful of that class
of information which. when favorable,
makes everybody feel happy.
This report shows that the increase
in national banks has been very mate
rial. and that the increase in the re-
sources Of these institutions for the
year ending September 9, 1904,
amounted to $664 656. 80 77.6S-the to-

posits of all classes aggregated s.,

The report shows that nearly 22
per cent of the loans and discounts
of the country are held by the banks
located in the city of New York, %
per cent by those Of the state Of New
York and The cities of Chicago and
St. Louis; 81 per cent by banks in
the central end other reserve cities.
leaving 46 per cent for the banks 10
coated elsewhere than in reserve
cities.
The report as a whole shows that
prosperity is firmly seated in the
saddle and that indications clearly
point to aceentaated prosperity dur
ing the coming year.
During Che year twenty-siX national
hanks, including one heretofore in
voluntary liquidation, We're placed in

Prohibition Convention.

The Prohibitiouists Of Howard cuun-

House last Saturday and put in nomi-
nation the following county ticket:
Auditor-H. II. Morris, of Lime

Clerk of Court-Magnus Leslie, of
Chester.
Recorder. 4. E.t.n, of Cresco.
Supervisor, 1st Dist-Edward T..
Jones of Albion.

were the chairman and secretary re-
spectively. Of the convention.
John II. Jones, Bonair, Magnus Les
lie, and John eager Of Cresco, were
chosen as county committee, and John
eager as treasurer OF soliciting COM
mitJee.
The convention was largely attend
ed and the crowd seemed very enthus-
iastic over what the result of the cleo
ton might be. Every body, mot only
the Prohibitionists, but those of all
parties, are anxiously enquirlng after
the Prohibs. We do not wonder at it
either The only wonder is that they
did not get to voting the ticket long
ago. But it is not too late to reform
along technical lines, and we are very
glad Cresco voters are getting woke up
to their duty and obligations to their
fellow men, which we believe most
men are willing to do as soon as they
can see the way is right, for with her
intelligent citizenship, she may be
proud of ever movement which tends
toward the purity Of our little city

DECISION is DELAYED.
Illness Of Chief Justice Causes Post

Madison, Wis, Sept 2s-No decision
was handed down by the supreme court
Tuesday covering the right of the La
Toilette or the "stalwarts" faction to
be represented on the state ticket at
the November election. The courtroom
was damned to Its utmost capacity by
attorneys and politicians anxious to
hear the decision, and its postponement
was keen disappointment.
Rightly or wrongly, it is generally be-
lieved that the opinion Is in the hands
Of Chief Justice Case, and he was de-
tanned at his home by illness. He
was in his chambers for short
time Monday, and his condition was re-
ported as very much improved Tues
day morning. If he is able to ap.
pear on the bench Wednesday, there is
strong hope that the decision may
be rendered.

ECHO or RECENT LYNCHING
COURT OF INQUIRY IN NAPLES
CASE IN ALABAMA.
Military Company Charged with In
efficiency and Dismissal from
Service Urged.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. %. Gov.
the military court of inquiry appointed
to investigate the conduct Of company
F, Alabama national guard, that was
overpowered by the mob at Huntsville,
Ala, which lynched Horace Naples, a
negro. The report, which is signed by
Col. T. S. Fraser, Capt. e. D. Smith and
Capt. w. F. Walden, recommends that
company F be mustered out for inefl-
cheney and that in the future all officers
be required to pass an examination on
the state military law before receiving
commissions. October IA was the date
fixed for the mastering out of the COM
mand. The court found that Capt. r. L.
Hay had no definite plan of action and
that most of the men had no loads in
their guns, though plenty of ammunition
was to be had; also that one sentinel was
overpowered and badly hurt by the mob.
It was also found that members Of the
military company were cursed and as
saulted by the mob after fire was set to
the jail and that they lost their military
identity in the crowds. It was further
found that the attack on the jail found
the military sitting around on the steps
and curbstones eating supper; also that
on the night Of the mob there was an en-
tire lack Of concerted effort or plans for
the protection Of the Jail or prisoners.
The report concludes: 1.-THE combined
shortcomings of the military allowed a
life to be taken unlawfully by a mob
under circumstances which justify US
IN concluding that the same could have
been prevented, thereby rejecting seri-
GUS discredit upon the military called
into the service"
