FRIDAY, OCT 13, 1905.

The latest suggestion for helping along the halting work on the Panama canal is to issue bonds for the work. This method of raising money to the extent of s13O, 1000. .OOO is authorized by the Spooner act in case the president considers it advisable. It is thought that this plan will be followed rather than to ask congress for more money out of the treasury. The $10OO0, 900 first appropriated by the Spooner act is about exhausted and something must be done promptly to straighten out the tangle in canal affairs. There is no question that the bonds would sell and the bond issue plan would practically make the canal build itself and would stop the drain on the treas ury which otherwise will involve the expenditure of a vast amount of the nations money. .--.. ef.

Speaking of the insurance inyestiga- ton now going on, one writer says that it Las been the rapid growth of the companies which constitutes a danger to the interests of the community. Life insurance illustrates the fact that the increasing wealth of the country Is diffusing itself rapidly among we'll to do people in a volume which leaves the much discussed accumulations of the millionaires out of sight. It is the shape in which professional men, and others inexpert in the mysteries of the stock market. lay up their savings for the good of their families and the sup port of their old age. Week after week the mail brings them offers of invest ment of the most fiattering sort; but these are put into the waste paper bas- ket because they know nothing about the merits of such things. They do trust the big insurance companies as their representatives in this matter, and there is almost no limit to the confidence they show. As a conse- quence these companies come into the control of wealth beyond the dream of avariee." They have to invest pro- ftably and safely the largest sums that are ever offered for that purpose, and their relations to the market for in- vestments and the business of the coun- try becomes a matter for the most careful consideration by our legislators and regulation under close inspection. The men in charge of such funds should be chosen with the greatest care, and their transactions should have a publicity, which would secure the country against abuse of the tremen- dous power they have in their hands.

The current scarcity of money Is Dy no means the sole result of the ordin- ary demand for moving the crops. says Banker Clews. These demands are necessarily larger than usual be- cause the crops themselves are much above the average. But the demand for money in mercantile channels, re

With this pros perity there has developed a core spending season of extravaganza. season of increased demand for lux Jries that in view of the extraordinary demands for funds in the worlds money market, Of which New York has become such an important com ponent. will be quite sufficient to main tain the value of money on a much higher basis than has recently been the case.

 The first experiment in ridding Mon tana ranges of coyotes by means Of an infection will be made in Teton and Chouteau counties. Dr E. NJ.

They will be turned out on the range by men who will endeay- or to watch results and make report of them.
 At the last session of the legislature an appropriation was made for the purpose of making an experiment in killing coyotes and wolves on the ranges by inoculating them with mango. Several months ago pr Knowles secured seven young coyotes. During their confinement two died, but the others are husky. They have all been inoeulated with mango, the two that have been sent to Teton and Chouteau showing the disease in pronounced form. Two of the three that are still in confinement show the disease in a marked way, but the third, while inoculated, appears to be immune so far. Under the law the animals are to be turned loose in diff ferent parts of the state.
 The matter is an experiment" says pr Knowles, 'and have hopes 1t will prove a successful one. My only fear is that the infected coyotes ! turn out may get hold of poison before they get the chance to spread the dis ease. have been feeding them meat and they will not be so sharp about letting poisoned meat on the range alone as are the wild ones.

Kansas City Woman Wreaks Fearful
 Vengeance on Former Husband.
 Kansas City, Mo, Oct. 13-Mrs Martha Fannon made an almost sue cessful attempt to cut out the tongue of her former husband, James Green, with a butcher knife because she al- leges. he had slandered her. When Green was taken to the police station his tongue was hanging by a mere thread. The doctors sewed in on as best they could and packed Greens mouth with cotton to stop the bleed. ing and give the practically severed tongue a chance to grow toegther. They will not know for several days whether the two pieces will knit or not
 Green could not talk, but with writ ing materials he said the cutting was done by his divorced wife. Mrs Fan non, and her sonsin-law, Charles Thomas. Green said that Thomas held him while Mrs Fannon pulled out his tongue and slashed It with a butcher knife. The police arrested Thomas and Mrs Fannon. Both ad- mitted doing the cutting but declared it was done in the course of general fight with knives which followed Mrs Fannon's visit to her former husband to upbrald him for slandering her.
