BETTER TONE IN MARKETS.
Henry CIews Says There Is More
Confidence in Money Circles.

Henry Clews says Of the financial
condition of the country this week.
A better tone has developed in the
stock market. This was partly due
to improvement in the crop situation,
partly to the apparent thoroughness
of recent liquidation, partly to the
beneficial effect of Governor Hughes
recent address on two-cent fare leg
islation, and partly to growing bet
ter understanding between the rail-
roads and the public. The only Sc
rious obstacle to further improve
ment has been the unsatisfactory con-
dition of the money market. This is
still the dominant element in the fl
nancial situation.
Monetary stringency is worldwide.
It Ia not confined to New York, but
prevails in all the worlds principal
financial centers. 1t is primarily due
to the exhaustion Of the supplies OF
capital through wars, earthquakes,
conflagrations, and especially to
extraordinary Industrial activity and
development in all parts Of the world

will Eventually Move to That
City.

Atchison, Kan, Jan. 19.-Willis J.
Bailey, former governor of Kansas,
and now a resident of Baileyville, has
bought a controlling interest in the
Exchange National bank of Atchison,
and will eventually move to Atchison
from Baileyville, and make that city
his home. -
Mr.. Bailey will not withdraw from
the race for congress in the First dis
| trict as result of this move.
The president of the Exchange Ma
tional bank is Bale P. Waggener of
Atchison. Mr.. Bailey will be vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
bank. The capital of the bank is
$3.50, 900, and associated in the enter
prise with Mr.. Bailey are Senators Cal
Morrow of Washington, s. E. Fulton
of Marshall and George w. Williams
of Seneca
The new officers of the bank will be
B. P. Waggener president; A J.
Harwi. first vice president; w. J. Bal
ley, second vice president. w. P.
president, yields to Bailey, who will
become : heavy stockholder. The
board of directors will be increased
from seven to eleven, by the addition

Morrow.
This will make the Exchange Ma
tional bank the strongest financial or
ganization in northeastern Kansas;
that was the idea which prompted the
reorganization. The heads of the lead
ing banks in this section were taken
in to add great financial strength and
stability to the Exchange National.
Nothing better could happen than to
interest the men above mentioned in
Atchison. 1t will place this city in
still closer touch with its neighbors.

FLOODED WITH RAIN.
Topeka Visited by Severe Storm
Last Night.

One of the heaviest rains which has
visited Topeka in some time was
added last night to the long series of
rains and SHOWS which are now pre-
valent in Topeka. The rain aggregated
133 inches. This is an extremely
heavy rain for this time of year.
The rain commerlced about 9 o'clock
and lasted until Aeariy u1orning. The
rain was ACCOMPANIED by all the adj
juncts sof a midsummer storm. There
was a large amount of lightning, ac-
companied by thunder. At times there
was a large amount of hail which fell
and ratified ominously against the
windows.
The rain vas accompanied by a
rapid rise in the thermometer which
was responsible for taking away most
of the snow which has accumulated.
during the past week. From O'Clock
until 10 O'Clock the mercury rose
twenty-four degrees and at 10 o'clock
the highest point was reached. AT
this time it stood fifty-eight degrees,
which is the highest which has been
recorded for several days.
The rain came up at an inoppor-
tune time for the people who were at
tending the large number of attrac-
lions last night The large crowd at
the Midwinter with those who were
attending the plays at the Grand and
rain. The rain was rather unexpected
so that nearly everybody who was
down town was unprepared for the
rain.
The rain was coupled with an UNI
usually heavy wind of twenty-five
miles an hour from the south which
caused the rain to permeate every
nook and corner and shelter from the
water was almost impossible tosfind.
The street car company did a thriv-
ing business and their cars at times
were quite a ways from schedule time.
However, the company gave good ser
vice and there is no knock coming to
them. =.
No outside reports have been re-
ceived at the weather bureau this
morning which would indicate the ex-
tent of the. storm or assist in king
any forecast of the weather at this
time. However, local indications are
favorable to a continued performance
of the wet weather and no relief is as
vet in sight. There are heavy clouds
in the sky this morning and with a
south wind and a high temperature OF
hfty-two degrees it is not unlikely
that there will be more rain today.
