pay Z per cent. for farmers
funds. simply to establish closer
relations or to give the imp >S-
sion that they buy at the high
est prices and sell at the lowest.
There is yet another possibility,
although scarcely a probability,
perhaps they need the money.
This latest scheme is not at all
in the nature Of reciprocity.
! Sears ROebuck & Co. will not
trust the farmer for one dollars
worth of goods but demand
that all cash be sent them be-
fore the goods are shipped and
in many cases before the goods
have been ordered from the fac
tories. They will not trust the
farmer, but they want the farm
er to trust them and for his
confidence they are willing to
pay the highest legal rate Of in
terest current in the state of II.
linOis-a rate that no banker of
Chicago charges his high grade
customers even at this season
Of the year when money is well
employed. 1t would seem as if
the government or the states
should take COgnizanCe of this
movement on the part Of the
Chicago house. All the banks
at the present time are under
state or national supervision
and it is entirely within the
prOprieties that Sears Roebuck
& Co. be placed under the same
laws and be compelled to make
statements and submit their
books for examination as other
banks do, for their proposition
to pay interest on deposits puts
them in the ranks Of bankers.
1t might be we'll for the retail
ers of the country to keep track
of the people who send their
money to Sears Roebuck & Co.
on deposit and when they call
on you and ask for three, six
or nine months credit without
interest. common sense should
decide your answer. If the mer-
chants of the town will get to-
gether and use this little wedge
wisely and with discretion to
head off credit to people who
are in the habit of sending cash
in advance to Chicago, they
would be able to do some good
for themselves. It's a missionary
proposition. Think it over.

AN EDITORS APPEAL.
To Brother Publishers In Behalf
Of the Lost Child of DIR.
Byers Of SeeleyviIle, Ind.

If the editor of every paper in
the Union will republish these
lines there is no question but
what DIR. S. L. Byers, Of Seeley-
vile, Ind, will recover his little
sou who was stolen from his
home one year ago last May.
DR.. Byers has spent his entire
resources in search for his child
and unless the big hearted mem
bcrs of the press come to his as
sistance his son will grow up
an outlaw and an outcast
among the lowest people Of the
earth. 1t is a cause that should
appeal to everyone and no faith
er reading these lines can do so
without a quickenipg of the
heart and a sympathetic throb.
1t is believed that if this ar
ticle is reprinted in the news.
papers it will form an endless
chain that will uncover the lost
boys concealment and return
him to his distracted parents.
In doing this the profession of
journalism will be fulfilling one
Of it's. highest destinies. A re-
ward of $500 awaits any infor-
nation that will lead to the
boys recovery. No questions
will be asked and if the abduc-
tor himself would deliver the
boy to his parents he would
not be molested. The bereaved
parents are heart broken with
grief and want only their child
Ii each journal will reprint these
lines, they will travel to every
exchange table in the United
States and bring back 10 a
wretched home a child who is
now no doubt suffering with
cold, unfed and wretched to a
degree, Think of what your
own feelings would be under
similar circumstances! This ap-
peal is indicted originally by a
publisher who saw DR.. Byers
only once, has no personal ins
terest in his quest other than
the bond of sympathy that
makes the world akin, and is in
spired from the belief that the
lost boy can only be found
through the united efforts of
the country press Of which he
is proud to be a member. His
recovery will be A triumph in
advertising and no editor
whose heart is placed right will
refuse this appeal. Remember it
may be your child next!
The following is the description
of the lost boy:
Eureka post. (Eureka, McPherson Co., S.D.) 18??-19??, 1906-04-06
DESCRIPTION.

Richmond Byers, if alive was
6 pears old last July, is Of light
CO mplexion, has gray eyes, left
eye noticibly crossed, has a
small Y shaped nick in the edge
of the left ear, has sharp chin
and a narrow, projecting fore
head. He is rather small for his
age and is unusually bright and
intelligent. talking after the
manner of a boy much older.
DR.. Byers has searched among
the rowing bands that frequent
the United States and believes
that his son can be found
among travelling junk dealers,
so called horse traders or NOV
ers. He does not think the boy
was stolen by genuine eypsies
He thinks he was taken by a
wandering band that used him
for the purpose Of begging in
the towns along the route. This
child may now be in the familV
of some farmer who would be
glad to give him mp to his par
ents iftheir identity were known.
For after a child reaches the age
Of Z the gypsies abandon them
or give them away.

Minneapolis, Aug. 16.-For the for

and its glory won. the Grand Army Of
the Republic was in line. There have
been many parades more gorgeous,
many spectacles more dazzling and be-
wildering. but never has there been in
this country one more appealing and
impressive than that which passed
through the streets of Minneapolis.
The parade was a notable AFFAIR. as
such things go, well handled, quick
moving and inspiring to look upon.
II was n day of pride for the old sol.
diers In themselves and for the mul.
titude in the streets.
At the head OF the column was a
mounted platoon OF police. Directly
behind the police and at the head Of
the parade proper came the magnih.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 16.-F. d. Co

board of agriculture, estimates the
Kansas wheat crop for 1906 at 1885.
676 bushels, Al per cent more than the

For Young.
EARLY Forecast.

Fremont, Neb., Aug. 16.--From a
staff correspondent: At 9 o'clock this
morning it was conceded that Boyd
would be nominated for congress in
the convention here today, while his
enthusiastic supporters claimed for
him that he would be named on the
first ballot.
This forecast was made after hard
night of campaigning among the dele
cations who began to arrive yesterday
afternoon. The hotels where the three
candidates have their headquarters
were busy scenes during the ear
ly part of the night, and the mill
ing around" of the delegates and BOOM
ers was continued until late hour.
Early in the game Boyd sentiment pre-
dominated, and yet the Mccarthy fore
to claim everything in sight. Gradual
ly, however, as they felt the props
dropping out from under them, their
faces began to lengthen, while those
of the Boyd crowd broadened cores
pondingly. At midnight it could be
easily told whether a man was for
Boyd or Mccarthy by the difference in
expression of faces. The Boyd men
were good natured despite the terrific
heat of the day and night, while the
Mccarthy men had tagged look that
betokened hopeless prospect for the
morrow. The Young men were on the
alert to catch what consolation there
mi ioht 10 in or N CIT h1
tween Mccarthy and Boyd. Young
stands in the position of being a re.
ceptive candidate, and his supporters
believed that if he could hold the bal
ance of power the time would come
when McCarthy's friends would go to
him and make him the candidate.
The delegates and workers were ra-
ther slow in getting around this morn
ing and then they showed fatigue as
the results of the hard night of work.
By the time they had breakfasted,
however, the last delegations had ar.
rived on morning trains and they were
ready to count noses. The forecast
was that Boyd would go into the con-
vention with 128 votes, Mccarthy 95
and Young 35. This would leave Boyd
lacking only two of enough to nomi-
nate, but it was figured that with the
nomination that near, more than the
required number of additional dele
gates would swing to his support, and
make only one ballot necessary. There
was rumor that when Mr.. Mccarthy
became convinced that he could not
be named, he would attempt to throw
his votes to Young, on the theory that
Mccarthy and Young combined have
enough votes to control the conven-
ton, but it was known to a certainty
that this could not be done, as McCar.
thy does not have such hold on many
of his followers that he can place them
anywhere else.

For Gods sake he said, is II
