Banker Bigelow in his frenzied effort
to make good the millions lost in
Wall street, OF the plunging OF his son,
Gordon Bigelow, whose financial back
er he has apparently always been.
The latest story is that Gates got out
Of the deal with a whole skin and a
handsome profit to boot, and that the
heavy losses caused by the breaking
of the corner and the dropping of the
price of May wheat from $1.21h to
98k cents, fell on the tailers whose
holdings in some cases were enormous,
as is evident from the fact that one
line of 100000 bushels for an outsider
was bought at $1.19, nearly the maxi
mum price reached. And it is more
than likely that Bigelow was caught
for a big sum, and it was this loss
which precipitated the exposure. If
John w. Gates made by the deal, there
are those who are firm in the belief
that Bigelow's losses helped to cover
the Gates losses and leave the latter
a handsome margin. And so the
sensational May wheat corner, which
is a story of fascinating interest by it.

The Lessons.
And then the clerk that uncovered
the steal, the directors that brought
the transgressor face to face with his
crime, the frenzied public which
stormed the doors of the bank to re-
cover its money, the fight of Chicago
bankers with millions to the rescue of
the imperiled bank, these all play
their thrilling part in this remarkable
drama. Such it is as it has been
played on the stage of life. Perhaps
some playwright will here catch the
inspiration which will enable him to
present a strong drama, whose lessons
shall be the necessity of honesty and
integrity, the danger of speculation, es-
pecially with other peoples money, the
certainty of a harvest from the sowing
of wild, reckless and dishonest seeds.

Your correspondent failed to "bob up
serenely" last week owing to the fact
that he, together with Toney Sickles,
Tommy Elwick, John O Neil and legion
81 other good 'sChristians'' we're busy
drawing up a declaration Of war against
Prince Beelzebub, prince Of the house of
darkness and knight Of the castle Of sin.
In other words, twas the organization
OF Young Mems Christian Association
IN Tasker. The commander Of the as
:sociation, Toney Sickles, having heard
chat Prince Beelzebub has been getting
pretty busy of late in this neighborhood,
has issued declaration Of war, and this
being the case, general assault will
commence from now on and operations
will be continued until the Port Arthur
of the neither world puts up the white
asbestos flag. Next week we will re-
quest the INDEPENDENT to print the
aforesaid declaration Of war in red ink.
We take pleasure in stating that we
lift our hat to the indefatigable j. s.
Wallace,and that" Davis is on the SCOTS
entitled to recognition is owing TO the
pertinent fact that his never-give-up
qualities in building up the coal indus
try and expanding its commerce at that
aively point. We are aware that he is
not liberal believer in the future
greatness Of Tasker. Nevertheless, like
us, he believes that Ward county's lig-
mite is almost mex haustible, and capable
OF supplying the nation, and while all OF
it will not come from Tasker-on the
500 great portion, and possibly the
best of it, will come from "Davis on the,
500" The great hindrance to the rapid
development IF Ward countys Ignite is
the fact that the railroads devour all the
profits by their excessive freight rates.
And by the gods Of war, It's time some
thing were done to make them recognize
the law regulating coal rates-so that
their motto ';luxuries for the rich,
crumbs and rags for the poor" may be
done away with.
