Regarding the proposed Russian loan, the
London Statist says:

Regarding the proposed Russian loan, the
London Statist says:
1T is to be borne in mind that the bulk
of the money is intended for paying for the
orders which will be placed in the countries
in which the loan is brought out. Conse-
quently the money will not be withdrawn
from circulation. except for very short
time. Over and above this 1t Is reasonable
to anticipate that the great institutions con-
cerned will do everything in their power to
prevent the money markets being so dis
turbed to fnJuriously affect the success
of the loan.
Nor Is 1t to be lost sight of that other
loan operations will speedily follow the Dor
rowing of Russia Fer that reason also it
Is desirable that there should be no great
disturbance of the money markets."

Barn and Stables Of Dr.J ID. Ms.
bet Burned.
On Wednesday afternoon last
the large new barn and stables,
together with the windmill and
several hundred dollars worth OF
grain and roughness at the Nisbet
home about three miles north of
Van Wyck, was destroyed by fire,
the origin of which is not known.
Only an hour or so before the fire
farm hands all went into the sta
bleS with their stock out of a
shower of rain. 1t is possible
that one of them might have
smoked during the time they
were in there and the fire have
started later from the stub Of a
cigarette carelessly thrown down
in the stable, but this is only sur
mise. The property destroyed
belonged to DR.. J. d. Nisbet and
was valued at about 81 coo. 1t
was insured in the Witherspoon
agency for $500.
