4 few citizens never lose on oppor-
tunity to give our town and the BUSH
ness men and the people in it dig
of some kind. Did you ever notice
that these people are a class that
would not be missed much in a COM
munity? A class who have nothing
in the world to keep them here. but
they stay because they want to stay.
A class who never do anything for the
town in which they live nor anyone in
it except themselves. They never
put their shoulder to the wheel and
help to raise it out of the mire into
which it might have sunken. They
never do anything but howl and find
fault with what others doing. You
will find them in every town.-Eureka

''There has practically been no
change in the total loans, as compared
with the previous report. The Kan
sas farmer has apparently taken adj
vantage of the high price of wheat,
brought about by the attempted cor
ner of May wheat by Gates ct al. and
has unloaded much of the surpl S
supply. On account of the high pr &c
of corn, many feed lots in Kansas are
at this time empty. the men who gen.
orally make regular business of feed
ing cattle, preferring to permit their
money to lie idle in banks than to
risk the feeding of 50 cent corn, for
the purpose of fattening cattle.
The number of banks reporting
April Is is fourteen greater than
shown in the statement of three
months ago. and at this date May 4,

The editor of this paper never be-
grudges anyone who is rich. We con-
fess, however, that our mind is not at
perfect ease when we see some menwho
never do a days work from one year
end to the other-and we have known
them for years-and yet they seem to
get along about as well as some of us
fellows who work fourteen hours out
of the twenty-four we live. Don't you
know some men who seemingly never
did work, yet they wear fairly decent
clothes, eat regularly, are spectators
at every public sport, and have time
to do anything cor go anywhere they
desire? How the deuce do they do it:

SECRETARY HAY DIES
END SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED.
Death Occurs at Newbury, New Hamp-
shire-Results from Obstruc-
tion of the Lungs.

Newbury, N. H., July 1.-Secretary
of State John Hay died at 1925 this
morning. The signs Immediately pre-
ceding his death were those of pulmon-
ary embolism. Mr.. Hays condition
during all of Friday had been entirely
satisfactory.
The bulletin of Secretary Hays
death was signed by Charles l.. Scud-
der NJ. D., and Fred T. Murphy, M. D.
Mrs. Hay and Drs. Scudder and Muir
ply were at the secretary's bedside
when the end came. The secretary
bade good night to his wife and to his
attending physicions about 10 o'clock,
at the close Of one Of the best days he
has had since his illness.
The local trouble was clearing up
satisfactorily, according to DR.. Scud-
der. The secretary suffered none OF
the old pains in his chest which char
acterized his early illness.
He had been perfectly comfortable
all day and happy in the anticipation
Of leaving his bed for the greater free
dom and comfort of D. couch. At IL
O'Clock he was sleeping quietly.
A few minutes after 12 o'clock he
called to the nurse, who at once sum-
moned DR.. Scudder. Both DR.. Scud-
der and DR.. Murphy hastened to the
bedside. The secretary was breathing
with difficulty and expired almost i'm
mediately afterward at 1925.
Secretary Hay arrived here from
Washington a week ago to-day, his
health apparently greatly benefited by
his recent European trip and the
course of baths he took at Bad Neu-
helm.
On Sunday last the secretary was
stricken with an illness believed at
the time to be uraemia. So serious
was his condition that DR.. Charles l..
Scudder of Boston and DR.. Fred T.
Murphy of Boston were summoned to
attend him.
In ordsr that there might be no de-
lay a special train was chartered for
their use and the two physicians made
a record-breaking trip from Boston to
this town.
After an examination Of the patient
DR.. Scudder announced that Secretary
Hay was suffering from the effects OF
chill contracted on the trip from
Washington to this place, similar to
an attack he had about four years ago
1t was believed then that Mr.. Hay
would be fully recovered within few
days. Each day since that time The
information given out regarding the
secretary's condition has been OF a
most encouraging character.
Yesterday it was announced that the
'secretary's improvement was more
marked than on the day before. It
was thought that the warm weather
would hasten his recovery and 1t was
anticiDated that he would he able to
leave his bed on Sunday.

Canon CITY Sanitarium.

Denver, July 5.-A Canon City dis
patch says: A sanitarium modelled
after the well-known Battle Creek,
Michigan, institution is practically as
sured for Canon City. The Atlas COM
pany in drilling for oil at point two
and half miles east of the city some.
time ago struck large flow of hot wa
ter containing iron, sulphur and soda.
making it very valuable for bathing
purposes and invalids. DR.. Pitt
A. Wade of this city, who
has been making study of
the sanitarium question for some
years, has secured the we'll and twenty
acres Of ground adjacent thereto. on
which he proposes to erect a 100000
sanitarium.
The citizens of Canon City, to en-
courage the enterprise, will subscribe
for $4,000. The remainder of the
capital the doctor and his friends will
furnish. Like the Battle Creek and
Boulder, Colorado, sanitariums, which
are conducted under the patronage OF
the Seventh Day Adventist Church,
thu. Canon City institution will be con-
du~ \ ~ped and financed by those people.
