Business on sound Basis.

Insolvency returns thus far this year in
dictate an unprecedentedly sound condition
OF business, adding their testimony to the
many other gratifying statements that
have appeared. With business expanding
at a rate never before equalled, both as
to the number OF new firms in business
and the amount OF capital involved. 1t Is
to be expected that some increase will be
found in the number of unsuccessful ven
lures, yet the statistics do not show any
such proportionate increase in either num-
Der Of failures or amount of liabilities.
This comparison may be made with great
exactness. and returns for the third quar-
ter Of 1906 of the amount Of liabilities to
each firm In business shows an average Of
only 1888, which is less than the amount
in the corresponding quarter OF any year
In the last twenty-five. with but two ex-
ceptions, and in one of these cases the
difference was only cents So, as to the
ratio of defaulted liabilities to solvent
payments through the clearing houses In
THE third quarter this year, there was
only about 90 cents OF bad debts to each
$1,000 exchanges which is not only the
lowest on record for the third quarter OF
any preceding year. but is less than in
any quarter since records were FIRST COM
piled In this form. in 1875.

Prosperity Unprecedented.

Even more strikingly satisfactory do
these statistics for 1906 appear when II is
remembered that the country experienced
two phenomenal disasters from the ele-
ments during those nine months, and rates
for money ruled at an abnormally high
position. Mercantile collections were sur
prisingly prompt. in view of the tight
money market, which might have been
expected to cause serious embarrassment
In the settlement Of trade obligations. But
splendid crops and an industrial activity
that provided continuous work at the
highest level of wages ever paid in this or
any other country kept money circulating
freely and maintained a confidence that
makes the outlook bright for the remaining
three months also. The one section in
which liabilities were notably heavier than
last year was the division embracing fire
insurance companies of which there were
several suspensions on account of the dis
aster at San Francisco, but even in this
respect the comparatively small number
of failures adds its testimony to the gem
eral prosperity. The small increase In
banking losses was entirely due to the
personal misconduct OF a few individuals
rather than any weakness in the institu-
lions. and the only prospect OF any notable
increase in failures during the last quarter
of the year is In regard to the effects of
the gulf storm, which occurred too late
in the period under discussion to affect
the statistics.

shirts, Collars and shoes.

For this season of the year a negligee
They are still made with plaids and they
still have the soft turn back cum IL they
are made In accordance with the best
| style. The complaint against this style
is that the cuffs soil quickly, since they
are not starched and wear out where they
are turned over. This objection to them
holds good, but the fact that they wear
out need not be considered too great a
fault. White cuffs are always as ap-
propriate as those made of the material
of the shirt. and may be put on at any
time.
The high standing collar, turned over
remains appropriate for this season of the
year. There was an attempt last spring
to have the turnover collar not meet in
front, but stand open from the bottom.
This failed as the styles for the autumn
show. The turnover standing collar Is
closed along Its whole length. The sue
cess that comes 10 firm which turns out
smart and comfortable collar is shown
by the experience of an uptown haber-
dasher. Four years ago he invented q
collar which combines smartness with
every other advantage as no other collar
does. He sells today as many of those
collars as he ever did. and they are every
where regarded by well dressed men a.
the smartest collar made in this country.
They are. of course, modelled on an Eng
fish original
Nothing is more modish for the half
season than tan shoes. which are smartast

there must be no suggestion OF shabbi-

worn with tan spats, and they look very
well. Buttons on the shoes should be
avoided. The day for white spats is
passed, and even the tan shoes with white
canvas tops look out OF season In town.
They are still permissible on warm DAYS

There are other tendencies Of dress In
the autumn. One of these is toward
recognition Of the season in the color of
neckwear. To meet this the shops are ex-
hibiting what the French call half season
cravats in shades that have all the mellow
beauty of autumn leaves. One of the most
popular Of these colors is a crushed rasp-
berry made in the knit ties 50 popular now
1t Is one of the loosely woven kind with a
thicker silk thread than is usually en-
ployed. These same ties come in warm
shades of brown, deep green and even an
occasional purple in spite of the extent
to which that shade for men was overdone
several years ago.
The imported sporting ties made up in
the brilliant stripes and varied colors of
oxford, Cambridge and other English
athletic associations. are especially popular
at this time Of the year. American imita-
lions of these patterns are nearly as at
tractive and much cheaper. There are
combinations, however, which only the
English factories are able to turn out. The
knit tie holds its supremacy as the fash
ionable article for mans wear. They
come in the narrow four-in- hand and are
as expensive as they ever were. although
there are limitations to be had for half the
price. Some of these knit ties sell for 50.
In the recent hot spell nannels looked
just as well as they did in July. but 1t is
nevertheless true that after the first OF
october flannel suits should be put aside
for worsted, cheviot or some material
more suited TO the approach OF winter.
Men who have all the clothes they need
to be well dressed are generally supplied
with gray and brown mixture and 1t is
the suit for this time of the year. heavy
brown Scotch tweed is equally appropriate
| and the men who are most careful about
dress are wearing these suits this fall with

The company did a good business at
Waterloo last week, considering the

a sprained ankle, and bruises all
about the right side of the body. No

leave for home two hours later Dur
ing all the time he was here he could
not be convinced that no wreck had

CINE of No rs he fell off the gangway
near Minerva junction about IL
o'clock. His engineer missed him. when
at the Iowa river bridge, and the train
was taken into Albion, put on a siding,
and this city notified. When passen

it was told to look for him. A SOUTH
bound extra soon after due, was in
structed at Albion to also watch for
him.
The unusual circumstance was that
the crew OF this latter train did not
see him, altho 1t must have passed
him somewhere between Minerva
Junction and the interlocking cross
ing. His training however, must have
told him that this south-bound train
was in no danger, and he apparently
made no effort to flag 1t, but he knew
the north-bound passenger was going
toward the spot where he supposed the
wreck of his train had occurred.
