Indianapolis, Ind, March S1.-Ex-
presslons of willingness to sign the
1903 wage scale are being received
from the individual operators still
here. Besides Robbins of the Penn

the southern Illinois operators. Three

most of these places mining condi-
lions and not the question of pay is
the chief point. Ohio and southern
Illinois threaten to be the storm cen

father, John Mckee, ST., at Leeds Viii
lage, Quebec, Canada, at Z o'clock Sat
urday night, aged 81 years. Mr.. Mckee

sons, Mayor Mckee being the only one
in the west. The others live in the
east, some in Canada and two in Mas

man, having the respect of many
friends, and his son here will receive
the sympathy of the people of this com
munity.

Stopping Runs on Banks.

Runs on banks, as all the world
knows, are often stopped or re.
stricted in the oldest ways.
Thus rich bank knew that run
was to set in on certain Monday
morning-for it had been robbed of
some postage stamps on Saturday
night, and the robbery had been ex-
aggerated in the newspaper reports
and If this run was not kept within
reasonable limits, the bank would
have to close its doors II had plenty
of money, but not plenty of cash 1t
needed twenty-four hours time.
Before sunrise on Monday morning
a painter put a fresh coat of paint
on the front doors of the bank, on
the wall panels, and on the counters.
The result was that the people who
made the run on Monday made rather
a walk of it. They wanted their
money, but they rushed no one. On
the contrary, they came on with
caution and elaboration that were
just what the bank desired. SO care.
full We're they lest they get paint on
their clothes that 1t took longer to
pay off one of them than 1t would
have taken ordinarily to pay five.
This is one of many odd tricks
whereby, in a run, a bank has saved
itself from wreck.

lands, and strengthening of private
ownership In land by these richer
peasants. Thus gradual growth of
two distinct classes are noticed in
the Russian villages, that of strong
farmers, who need additional hired
labor on one hand, and that of a
larger class, whose land holdings are
insuff1cient for independent farming.
Owing, therefore, to this system of
land ownership and the Anticipated
methods of agriculture, due to the
poverty and ignorance of the people,
and the few symptoms of improve
ment by the Introduction of better
machinery rotation of crops and the
sowing of grasses, it is apparent that
the yield of Russian wheat must
necessarily continue to be low, and
hence cannot be cheap wheat, not
withstanding the extreme cheapness
OF labor and the low standard of. life
In comparing the Russian wheat
yield with that of the United States,
it is interesting to note that unlike
d
great deal more spring than win
ter wheat, the proportion of acreage
for the United States in 1904 being
approximately 81 per cent. winter
and 80 per cent. spring wheat, while
for the Russian empire the proper
ton in 1904 was 25 per cent. of win
ter wheat and rs per cent. of spring
wheat. Moreover, the preponderance
of spring wheat is increasing be-
cause of the extension of wheat cul-
ture into districts which do not adj

wheat constituted only 60 per cent
