New York's recent. failure TO Sell
$500. 600 of 2O-year per cent bonds
excites much remark upon the en-

sirableness Of short term bonds. Only
one bid was received-for 500 worth
of bonds New York is not supposed
to be bankrupt. Her credit is good.
But the money market is not on the

More Beer; Less
Drunkenness
Positive Proof That Beer Is Means
to Temperance.

An interesting and practical temper
ance lesson may be drawn by our read
ers from the increased consumption of
beer in this country and corresponds
ing decrease in drunkenness. Really
sincere temperance workers are learn
ing to differentiate between malt liq-
uors and spirits if we may take some
of the public utterances of celebrated
public leaders as an example. They
urge the substitution of beer for
stronger liquors as the real means to
temperance and sobriety.
In some of the states where the prac-
teal, progressive temperance workers
are strongest we find the people giving
consideration to law that makes the
license much less for selling beer than
spirits. ~
This shows the tendency Of the times
is favorable to beer The recent re-
port of the Internal Revenue depart
ment shows 160,O00,000 more gallons
Of beer drank than in any previous
year, and statistics are quoted showing
a decrease in drunkenness in the states
that is very satisfactory to those who
are not only earnest but practical in
their labors for temperate habits in OUR
people.
AS a distinct aid to temperance, as
we'll as a wholesome, refreshing bev-
erage, Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer leads all
others. One reason for it's great popu>
larity is the fact that doctors recon-
mend it because of its absolute clean
ness, purity, age and strength. 1t is
the most nutritious beer brewed be,
cause made from Pabst exclusive
eight-day malt which retains in great
est degree the food value of the bar
ley. This Pabst exclusive eight-day
process malt doubles the cost, but it
makes Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer the SUI
perior of all American beers and ac-
counts for it's great popularity

KANSAS AND THE BOOK TRUST.

f According to a Topeka correspond
ant Kansas saves half million every
1--WE years on its bill for schooi oooAs'
This correspondent states that IN tne
common schools of Kansas the most
extensive book. costs but 80 cents.
From this the price decreases 70 ~
cents. The prices are the same every
L where I'M the state. The books useu
ore the same. The trust has no re-
course. Kansas names the prices. roi
5 the same books that Kansas schooi
children. pay so and 80 cents schooi
8 children in Nebraska. Iowa. Michigan.
Illinois, Ohio, the New England ana
many other eastern states. pay VI TO
$3.50. The school books that sell Tor
4 60 cents in Kansas sell for 70 cents
and 81 in some other states. y
Kansas parents pay about $1ooooV
4 for text books every five years. me
Il first year after a change in text books
is made, about $250,0O0 is expended.
During, the next four years about
100000 is expended. According to
prices charged by the book trust in
I other places the Kansas book bill for
ave years would amount to about ST.
& 100000.
The Kansas text book law is regard
ed as one of the best laws passed by
the famous ''pop'' legislature in 1897.
\ II is one of the few pop laws which
! have survived. The prices fixed then
f still prevail. A book commission OF
eight men is appointed by the gov
ernor and the senate to serve for
five years. No political party shall
have more than three representatives
on this commission. The state sup
erintendent is a member eff officio and
chairman.
AS soon as the text books are adopt
ed bids are asked for. The contracts
are awarded for a period OF i've
years The publishers are required
to have an agent at every county seat.
All the publishers now deal thru a
central distributing agency. the Kan
sas Book Company located at Topeka.
There. are 105 county seat agents and
about $40 others. The law provides
that every quality of the book shall
be as good as is sold in other states.
Besides saving half million dollars
to the parents the law has proven
beneficial in other ways. 1t does away
with publishers agents harrassing the
local school boards When cash ac-
companies an order for books and this
order amounts to over $40, the publish
ers are compelled to pay the freight.
Uniformity of text books in all the
schools in the state has proved another
benefit. When the text book commits
sion changes text books the holders
of old books can turn them back to
their dealers and receive so per cent
of their original cost

Goodby. dainty peekaboo!
Guess it's twenty three for you.
Yet this much | will avow,
Speaking boldly. here and now,
You have played a happy role
Giving pleasure, as a whole.
Both to maids who wore you, and
Many men thruout the land.
Poets. too. have sung Of you,
Ventilated peekaboo,
Photographers had their say.
Waxing pertinent and gay.
Pouting preachers, here and there,
Spoke harsh words--as IL you care.
You were talked, both UP and down,
Winning fame and great renown.
You were honored by the bugs.
Biting where the sutton hugs.
You were proved a golden theme.
Half a garment. half a dream,
Waking envy in the mind
OF us willing human kind.
Wreaking havoc in mems hearts.
Who observed by fits and starts,
Stirring up a deal of bliss
That fellow couldn't miss.
Yet, the, seasons changed, and so
Now it's time for you to go,
On your way, but promise to
Come back again, sweet peekaboo.

cial Gazette work out in its. entirety to

As an economic experiment, bids have
been advertised for by the Commissioner
of Patents, +. !. Allen. If it proves
cheaper to have the Gazette produced on
the outside, there will be drawing
away from the big printing establish
ment that would cause grave concern on
the part Of the small army of employees.

Voyage in a Balloon.

The balloon which carried DR.. Juliu:
p. Thomas, Mrs Thomas, and Charles
Leyee from Pitts6eld, Mass, TO SOmer'
vile, Conn, occupied two hours and
fifty minutes in the journey of about
eighty miles. The start from Pittsfeld
was. made at 1925 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and it was 6:l5 when the
balloon got tangled in one of the big
elms of Somerville and came TO halt.
Nobody wss hurt in the contact with
the tree, and the three occupants of the
air ship were able to land without
trouble. The balloon was made snug
for the night, and the aeronauts took
the trolley car for Springfield, where
they boarded the 10 o'clock train fol
New York. In the course of its jOurn-
ey the balloon passed over Springfield,
Mass; East Windsor, Thompsonyille,
Ellington, aud Somerville, Conn, max.
ing a circuit around the latter place
before it larded. Although the party
would not go into particulars, they said
the trip was a success in every way.
The Balloon assembled 5000 feet.

kill him herself, Mrs. Isabel Ollver, IN

peared against Albert Trout, a negro
who struck her IN the face as he left an

Counsel for the negro requested an ad-

sented Mrs. Oliver became more hysterl-
cal than before. 81 want him put away
now - she cried as she began to abuse
the prisoner, a sporty looking individual,
who tried to look uncOncerned. Finally,
unable to quiet her, a policeman led her
from The room. In the hallway OF the
building she gave vent to her rage to such
an extent that her husband required the
assistance of the policeman TO force her
to leave the building. The assault, she
reiterated, had been unprovoked. Trout
in getting out of the car, which was
crowded, had lurched against her. She
said she had turned and cautioned him
to be careful, whereupon, she alleged,
be struck her violent blow in the face.
Several of the passengers made rush

perate resistance, he was thrown, with
half dozen men on top of him, pounding
and kicking. He was saved from more
severe injury by the arrival of policemen.
