ALFRED BETS FORTUNE.
Reports as to the Amount Only
Speculative.

LONDON, July 1S.-Those who are really
in a position to give authoritative informa-
ton regarding the amount OF the fortune
of the late Alfred Belt. the South African
financier. and the terms of his Will. have
not yet given 1t to the newspapers The
pronouncements of the latter. therefore are
purely speculative. Estimates ranging
from $125, 100000 to s625 600 600 have been
published, but 1t will probably be found
when the terms of the Will are given out
that Mr.. Belts fortune was somewhat be-
low SoO,O00,OO0.
About one-third of this amount it is ex-
pected, will be beaueathed to national pur-
poses in Great Britain and South Africa
mainly of an educational character as was
a great part of the fortune of his most
intimate friend, the late Cecil Rhodes. Mr.
Belt had several married sisters in Ger
many and Austria. and presumably they, as
well as his mother and brother, Will inherit
considerable amounts.

JEFFERSON CITY Mo-, July 1s-Goy
Joseph w. Folk. in addressing the retail
merchants Of Missouri at their convention

We are proud of our splendid Cities and
We want them to increase In wealth and
population, and we also want our country
towns to grow. We wish the city merchants
to build up. but we also desire the country
merchants to prosper. I do not believe in
the mail order citizen. II place Is good
enough for a man to live in and to make
his money in. 1t is good enough for him. to
spend his money.
No merchant can succeed without ad-
vertfsing In one way or another. Patronixe
your town papers, build them up, and they
will build the town up and build you up
increased trade and greater opportunities.
Do not be afraid that business is going to
be hurt by the recent exposures Of wrong
doing in the commercial world. No man
who IL doing an honest business can be
injured by the light. ALI buziness win
be better for the cleansing process It Is
going through and for the stamping out OF

ton and prosecution where that Is nee
essary.''
Assistance Of Police Force.
LAS a general rule" said Commissioner
West, Il do not like to impose upon the
police force duties additional to those which
come within their jurisdiction. but where
the health Office is inadequate to cope with
the situation it becomes imperative to do
the work. even though the additional bur-
den falls upon the police. 1t Is important
during the summer season that the city
shall be as clean as possible. and IL Is GER
tain that with the attention that the men,
bers of the police force will be able to give
to this work very decided Improvement
