NO EVIDENCE OF REACTION

Wall street provided the only import
ant development in the business sit
uation during the past week, prices
of securities rising within an average
of So per share of the high record es-
tahlished last January. while the gen.
eral public became interested to an ex-
tent that lifted money rates for all
periods to the legal maximum. Trade
reports indicate wholesome activity.
with no evidence Of reaction, even
those industries that are Of necessity
quiet at this season contributing to the
general confidence by reports Of large
orders in sight.
AS the vacation season draws to an
end there Is a gradual resumption Of
idle machinery, and with the opening
Of many new furnaces all records Of
iron production viii be surpassed in
the fall. Yet steel mills will require
all the material that can be furnished.
This is typical OF the situation in all
leading branches of industry.

The Way II Goes.

Where the foaming breakers roar
Down beside the sandy shore.
There the sportive maiden sweet
Dips her dainty hands and feet
Plunges in, a mermaid fair,
With the sun bleach on her hair,
Natures hue upon her skin.
For the swim she's strictly in.
In the autumn at the store
Where the busy traffic's roar
Frets the ear, with worried mien
There the maid is daily seen
Buying drugs and lotions weird
That the freclles may be cleared
From her tanned and toughened skin,
For the social swim she's in.

Lack of Funds.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 25.-At q ses-
sion of the cabinet last evening which
lasted several hours the conclusion
was reached that IN view of the exist
ing conditions any relaxation in the
rigor of the governments policy is ut
terly out of the question. and that il
is necessary to continue the battle
against the revolutionary forces with
all the means at command. 1t also was
decided that the elections for members
of parliament shall be held on the same
date throughout the empire, instead OF
over a period of several weeks, as was
the case in the former elections. in or
der to prevent the opponents of the
government concentrating their efforts
in various districts in succession.
Win Expedite Necessary Legislation.
All the ministers were instructed to
prepare and have ready for submission
not later than Sept. IA the projects Of
necessary legislation, which will be di-
vided into two categories-the first,
those which are urgent and should be
enacted Immediately in the form of
temporary laws. or administrative
edicts, and the second such as will re-
quire to be polished by the cabinet be-
fore submission to parliament when it
assemblies.
Gar Has Plenty of Funds.
Finance Minister Kokovsof author
lied the Associated Press to deny cate
gorically the constantly recurring re-
ports, both at home and abroad, that
Russia intends to enter the foreign
market for new loan this autumn.
The government" said the minister,
has ample funds in sight to tide over
the present year. The only loan opera
ton contemplated-nam the $685.
/ 100000 imperial loan for famine relief
was consumated today by the sig
nature of the emperor. s.
Deputies Missed Their Mark.
The surplus for the first six months
/ of the current year will exceed the esti-
mates by $5O,O00,000, and as the last
six months always are the best from
the revenue standpoint the excess for
the year should exceed $100,00O,0O0.
The effect of the Viborg manifesto up
on the revenue will be practically nil.
The direct taxes paid by the peasantry
are only for zemstvo and local pur-
poses, and none of them come to the
central government, whose taxes from
the masses are entirely indirect, the
major item being from the brandy no
nopoly, the revenue from which, in.
stead of decreasing, increased ST, 800.

It was further explained by Kokovs
off that the big project for the distribu
ton of 25,OO0,O0O acres Of land among
the peasants upon which the govern
ment has decided to Immediately EN-
bark, and from which great hopes o.
measurably appealing to the discon
tented peasantry have ben built. doe
not involve any charge upon the treas
ury. Briefly the landowners. including
the car and grand dukes, will get

EnviouS.
] wish were an elephant
Unwieldy, large and strong,
With dusky palm leaf fans for ears
And tusks a few feet long,
And with a Saratoga trunk
To swing from side to side,
a fancy blanket on my back.
Where all my friends might ride.
I'd have a barrelful of fun
In working at that trade;
Go to the circus every day
And be in the parade.
I'd cut up capers in the ring
And stand upon my head,
And / could always stay inside
To see the lions fed.
The ladies as they passed me by
On me would all be sweet.
They'd open up their peanut bag
And let me eat and eat.
The little children would come round
And dope me UP with cake
And cookies and a lot OF things
Like mother used to make.
I'd scare my keeper half to death
When I was feeling gay.
For when / went upon loot
Thered be old smash TO pay.
The owner of the blooming show
Might come and throw a fit,
But If I didn't like the place
Id pack my trunk and quit.

story Told at Evansville.

The Evansville story is that it has
been discovered through the letters
referred to above that Tanksley had
asked Miss Rainey-with whom he
was arrested at Evansyille-to meet
him at a particular hour and on a GER
tain street in Bedford on the night Of
the murder of Miss Schafer. For some
reason Miss Rainey did not keep the
appointment, but Sarah Schafer, who
was to give a lesson to a pupil that
night passed the spot designated by
Tanksley for his tryst. She was
grabbed up the alley and murdered.
When charged at Evansville with
guilty knowledge of the Schafer MUIR
der Tanksley stoutly denied it. The
Rainey girl says she will commit sui
eide rather than testify against him.

Indiana

Bedford, Ind, Aug. %. - Marshall
Meyers has arrived here with E. Tanks
ley and Nellie Rainey, the Heltonville
girl whom Tanksley is charged with
having kidnapped. Prosecutor Fletcher
denies many of the statements made in
story sent out from Evansville, which
attributed to him knowledge Of certain
evidence against Tanksley which tend
ed to connect TanksIey with the kill
ing Of Sarah Schafer. who was found
murdered in a shed here on the night
of Jan. 81, 1904. Fletcher is preserv-
Ing silence as to what evidence, if any,
he has in his possession.
Makes Pretty Strong Statement.
He admitted that he had some let
ters written by Tanksley TO Miss Rain
ey, but added that not even his asso-
ciate officials knew their contents.
Asked if they contained any evidence
against Tanksley which might in any
way connect him with the Schafer
crime, Fletcher said: IF the evidence
that is against Tanksley in the Schafer
murder had been brought up against
Mcdonald at the time of his arrest for
the crime the latter would have been
hung in less than twenty minutes
Mcdonald, who was referred to by
Fletcher. was tried and acquitted Of the
crime. The prosecutor said that he
would not secure Il warrant charging
Tanksley with the killing of Miss
Schafer. but would place what evil
dence he might have In the hands of

H. The revenues, expenditures and de-
iIsicft Of the postoaSse department. From
the beginning of the fiscal year July
1st 1885, to the close Of the fiscal
year 1905, a period of twenty years,
were aus follows: - -.
Revenue 80. -. Isl, 743,027, 626.79
Expenditures 81, 1884 ,153, 1868
Deficit -. ....,.. ....... per cent.
| The reduction in the deficit was
| forty-five per cent. The deficit for
1906 was only six per cent of the
revenue. -...- ..-..
During this second period the re-
ceipts4 were more than three times
as much as were the receipts from
1866 to 1885. ,..e- -3-.. -.r
The rate of postage collected by
the government from July list, 1885,
to June 80, 1905, on first class matter
was two cents per ounce Or fraction
thereof with an increase in weight
from one-half ounce to one ounce, and
a reduction in postage from three
cents to two cents, equal to a reduc-
ton on frst-class matter of sixty-six
and two-thirds per cent.
On second class matter, the amount
collected was one cent per pound, a
reduction of fifty per cent for an i'm
proved service over the. previous
period and during which latter period
the deficit had also been reduced
from fourteen and one-half to eight
per cent as before stated. .. :
We are convinced that because Of
the great increase in density of popu-
lation and the great increase that will
again be made in first and second
class mail because of a reduction in
the rate of postage, that the time has
come for IA further. reduction in
postage. rs is "
