Farmers Own Banks.

John Q. Royce, State Bank Commissioner for
Kansas, is authority for the statement that many of
the banks in Kansas are owned by the farmers of
the wheat belt He declares that in many counties
all Of the bank stock and the best offices of the
banks are in possession of the farmers. Some of
the bankers have elt their farms and moved to the
villages because of these investments, but many of
them still live on the farms and attend meetings of
the directories when notified their rural tele-
phones by the cashiers.
The same thing ought to be true of the cotton
planters of the South. 1t is true in instances,
and but for the undertakes which they receive
for their product twoud be true in many instances.

The Shreveport Journal issued Souvenir Edition
in addition to the regular edition OF that paper
Wednesday of last week, which gave an exhaustive
and excellent exhibit of all the great interests of
that growing and prosperous city. The apprecla'
ton of the enterprise by the business men OF
Shreveport is well marked. Business men know
that such publication gives their city name
abroad and increases their commercial standing,
and are not backward in furnishing material for the
valuable work. The publication of the Souvenir
Edition cost large amount of time and money as
it covered sixty-six pages and contained 100 COL
umns. The business cuts were handsome and good
representations, and the edition showed up well
the business and commercial importance generally
OF Shreveport.

Columbia State: Daughters of Confederate Gen.
erals who never had daughters are being constantly
featured in northern papers The wife Of an humble,
and doubtless respectable engineer died recently in
New York and it was published that she was the
daughter of Gen. Braxton Bragg, that she was born
ION the magnificent Bragg plantation in Newbern,
NC Gen. Bragg had no daughter. He was a
native of North Carolina but his plantation, to
which he retired from the United States army in
1855, was located near Thibodaux, La, and after
the War Between the Sections he lived in Alabama,
being chief engineer of that State. His brother,
Thomas, remained in North Carolina and was Gov
ernor of that State from 1854 to 1858; was United
States Senator when North Carolina seeded and
for two years was Attorney General of the Confed-
eracy. He died in Raleigh in 1871; Gen. Bragg
died in Galveston, Texas, in 1875.

The advance in the cotton market Monday was
not without significance. September advanced 80
points net within few hours and the result was
felt all over the country. It is very clear that
reduced acreage and short crops otherwise are
having an effect in the great cotton centers. With
advances of this character this early in the season.
we NAV rest assured that cotton will bring even a
better price than has been mentioned.
The farmers of our own State have been greatly
hampered by the excessive rains. In many locali-
ties the cotton has had so little attention that the
yield will fall off at least 40 per cent 1t is grave
question with many farmers whether they will DC
able to save their crops from the grass, and thou
aAnds of acres will no doubt be abandoned. W.
should say, however, that those who have thei'
crops in anything like fair condition should fee
greatly encouraged at the outlook.

NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

Boston, June 5.-The Giants won easy vic
tory over Boston here to-day by a score of III
to 9 and would probably have shut the home
in failing to get Tenney's fly in the first inning
and Bresnahan's wild throw. Taylor was In the
box for the visitors and pitched in rare form,
allowing only four scattered hits. In the fourth
and eighth innings the visitors got on to VIII
helms curves, and, combined by wretched sup
port, the Giants were allowed to score five and
four runs respectively.
The fielding on both sides was poor at times, a
number of misplays being charged. With ono
out in the first inning, Tenney reached first when
Browne failed to connect with his fly and stole
second. "Batty" then sent out a two Dagger and
Tenney scored "Batty'' went to third on Bres-
nahan's wild throw and came home when the
ball passed Devlfn. This ended the locals scor-
ing. In the fourth inning the Giants took the
lead when four men made q circuit of the
bases. Bresnahan, first up, tripled to centre
and scored Mertess hit Dahlen reached sec
ond and Mertes third Lauterborn's tumble
and wild throw to Tenney and both tailed on
Devns single to deep centre. After Gilbert
flied out, Taylor safe Tenneys error and
Donlin's long fly to right field scored Devlin
The second slaughter came in the eighth In

first up singled to centre, and got to third on

Yesterday. and his good work helped much In
the home mines victory. He made two hits, one
Of which was a three-bagger and caught a
good game
The fielding of the visitors was fawless and
they went through the game with a clean score.
The Highlanders also put up a sharp and keen
fielding game. and would have won the same
distinction were it not for Dougherty's error.
Dougherty however. made UP for this in his
stick work. making two hits one q hree-bagger.
Hogg pitched for the home team. and was
wild at times He made up for this. however, at
critical moments. Young pitched for Boston,
and was hit hard at times. Double plays IN
which Parent Ferris and Grimshaw figured
were loudly applauded.
Chase in the second inning started the run
making for the Highlanders when he slashed
the ball down the right field foul line for a
home In the fourth inning the Highland
ers added one more run to their score when
Dougherty singled, stole second and came home
on Conroy's single. Hogg's and Keeler's sin

the home team.
The visitors made their first in the

scoring when Setback, Parent and Burkett, the
first three men up each knocked out a single
but Freeman and Grimshaw went out on flies
and the chance was lost. The Highanders
made what turned out to- be their final run in
this inning on Kleinow's three Dagger and
Fultz's fly. The score follows:
