HALEY Times Early last fall, when
the second crop Of hay was in the stack,
there seemed to be 50 much OF it, that
they would have to keep the most Of it
over, Or let ii 90 at very low prices
But no sooner did the cold weather be-
gin than it became impossible to buy
hay in any quantity, and some stock
men have been unable to get any even by
advertising in the newspapers. Tie
shortage has become so evident that
owners Of livestock have been compelled
to begin shipping to market from four to
six weeks earlier than usual, and TO
make heavier shipments than usual.

in the Price.

Kansas City, Aug. 10.-Kansas City

franchise is to run for thirty years, mad
it provides that as long as the supply
of natural gas is reasonably accessible
it is to be furnished at % cents
thousand cubic feet for domestic con
sumption and at 10 cents for manu-
featuring purposes.
If the natural supply fails artificial
gas is to be sold at IS cents a thousand
cubic feet. The city may purchase the
gas works at any time, provided the
grantees receive their profits for ten
years. The Kansas City Gas company
now holds franchise to furnish gas
at $1.10 a tousand feet.

BRITISH TEACHERS COMING

London, Aug. 10.-ThOusands of APP
plicatiOns are being made by teachers
in all parts of the kingdom to take
part in the excursions to the United
States being arranged for rthe fall and
winter. The offices of Alfred Mosely,
who is making the arrangements at
this end, are besieged daily with appIi-
cants, but comparatively few Of tAose
who desire to go can be accepted. I'm
less something arises making it posi-
bic to send a greater number, about
500 teachers, representing every class
from the Kindergarten and defective
senses instructors to the professors Of
England's greatest universities, will be
included in the tours.
1t is planned that the first party, Of
about thirty, shall sail for the United
States Nov. 80, and from then until the
end of March similar parties will sail
weekly. Different tours are being ar
ranged, it being the idea Of the promo

SECRETARY HUNTS AUTHORITY
He Finds 1t, All Right-History of Gov
eminent Silver Purchases.

The secretary Of the treasury was
IN doubt whether existing statutes au-
thorized him to buy bullion for this
purpose, and, moreover, was Of the
opinion that it would be better pol
icy to meet future demands for sub
sidiary coin by the recoinage Of sill
yer dollars in the treasury, and so
recommended to congress. Congress
having failed to act upon his recon-
mendatiOn Secretary Shaw requestd all
opinion from the attorney general as
to his authority to purchase bullion
for this purpose under existing law.
and he received a favorable reply
based on section $500 of the revised
statutes. The policy now announced
was accordingly determined upO.
The United States government has
been in the past an important factor
in the silver market. In preparing for
the resumption of specie payments and
the redemption of the fractional paper
currency issued during and following
the civil war it began in January, 1877
series of purchases ending in Feu-
ruary, 1878, which aggregated 31,603,-
9O5 fine ounces, which cost 1911
AS in gold, or an average of $1.1SS
per ounce fine.
The next appearance of the govern
ment in the silver market was under
the Bland-Allison act of Feb. IS, 1878.
The first purchase under this act was
made at $1.21 GIG per fine ounce, and
the total expenditure for bullion under
this act was $30S,279 26O. The total
amount of bullion required was 291,-
272,01S fine ounces or an average price
for the whole of S105S.
The Bland-AIlison act was succeed
ed by what is popularity known as the
Sherman act, approved July IA. 1890,
which enlarged the purchases of the
government to four and cmfwkypjqpj
government to 100000 ounces per
month. The total purchases under this
act amounted to 16S.6746S2 fine
ounces, costing $155, 931 ,602, or an av-
erage of $1.924 per ounce The last
purchase under the act of 1890 made
on Oct. 30 1893, was at - cents per
ounce. From that date until the pres
ent the government has been out of
the market for the purchase of silver,
except as the agents of the Philippine
government in the purchase of a little
over 13,500,O00 ounces, costing $685.
995, or an average Of $O.541h.

The sachem of PoI<anoket.

The sachem of Pokanoket, known in
the history of New England as King
Philip, was the youngest son of Chief
MaSsasoit. His Indian name was Pc
metacom, but his father was friendly
to the English colonists, who gave him
the name of Philip His warfare upon
the settlers some fifty years after the
first landing of the pilgrims at Plym
outh rock harassed them greatly, but
Philip was at last killed at New Hope.
and the war thus ended The title of
king correspondent better with his Eng
lish name than the Indian title Of
sachem would have done.
