Republican rro.nerltx.

There is great effort by Republican
newspapers to show that the Wall
street panic has had no effect on gen.
eral business and will not hurt the peo-
pie generally. But special dispatch
from New York to the Washington Post
puts a much more serious aspect on the
matter and shows that the official re-
port on savings banks exhibits a de-
cline in the value of bonds and stocks
in which their deposits are invested
from 1896 of almost S13O0O,0O0. Since
Jan. l, the date of that report, there
has been an average decline in the price
of stocks of 20 per cent, which must
have affected the value of bonds and
stocks owned by the savings banks very
seriously.
The G,420 national banks of the Unit
ed States on May 90 held bonds and
other securities amounting to II trife
over $679,000,O00, and these invest
ments must show similar loss to what
the savings banks have suffered. The
report of the national banks to the
Controller of the Currency does not
show how much the banks have written
off for depreciation of investments and
the actual situation is, therefore, OBJ
scure. IAN index is to be found, how
ever, in the case of the national banks
of New York City, which reported on
May 90 the value of stocks and bonds
and securities held by them aas $780,
IL, 200, decrease of $5,S00O0O from
the amount of the same holdings on
March 22d, previous" These great loss
es to the banks is one of the causes
of the tight money market which will
undoubtedly become more stringent DUR
ing the coming Fall months. Since
March, business men in New York. at
least, have had to pay per cent and
over for accommodations at the banks
and have had difficulty in securing
loans at that high rate. AT the other
money centers similar high rates have
prevailed and interest rates at New
York are advancing. These conditions
cannot but affect general business all
over the country, and those in debt
will be called upon sharply to pay,
and in turn will be compelled to call
upon their debtors. That the situation
is serious one will be seen by the de-
clarationof the Wall Street Journal,
that the only hope of relief is that the
$50,000,0 900 remaining in the United
States treasury will be added to the
already enormous loans made to the
national banks. Practically" says
the Wall Street Journal, Everything
else is more or less mortgaged, or at
tached, or tied up, or held by fear"
And this is the boosted Republican
prosperity that our Republican friends
by their financial and tariff legislation
have produced and the climax is not
by any means come yet.

had a dream last night Seemed as II
was sittin here in the kitchen, and
all OF sudden up come some of the
blacklist clouds in the west that I
ever saw. And when they got up over
head-cricky, how it begun TO blow!
The limbs came off the elms as ii
they were Topped and the lilac bushes
We're blowed fiat. and one end of the
shed was stove in. Seemed as If I
was readin newspaper, an / look
ed at the headin' to see just what day
of the month 1T was, an I saw 1t was
the tenth. Then looked at my watch
an noticed it was just three, though
somehow the kitchen clock was strik-
in six. So now, you see, I've got it
all Strengthened out. That tornado is
due here on the tenth, some time be-
tween three an six"
"Well. 1T might just as we'll come
then as any time" said Mrs. Bently,
with grim smile. Il hain't heard tell
of any goin's-on round the tenth, SO
I guess 'twon't put nobody out much. :"
"You get my breakfast soon's you
can, will you?' he urged II want to
get to writin' what I'm goin' to send
On to the papers, so I can go up to
the post-offlce In time for the after
noon mail"
Mrs. Bently, who was bending over
to whisk a pan of well-browned bis
cults out of the oven, looked up sharp
ly. II thought you an Jim were goin'
to pillow the lower lot this mornan',"
she said.
Her husband coughed uneasily. 81
was intendin' to-" he admitted, "but
| guess now, SO long as l know exact
when this tornados comm, ought to
write the papers about 1T. When a
man can see the future, as l can, he
owes somethin' to his fellow men,
"No doubt" was Mrs. Bently's acid
retort.
Breakfast over, he betook himself
TO the desk in the front room, and
from an old tin box he drew out a
number of yellowed newspaper clip

WOMAN WHO TALKED PARK"
Scheme to Secure Her City Eeauti-
 fui Pleasure Ground.

Had it not been for womans idea Bay City. Mich. would probably not now be preparing 10 convert nine acre strip of river front. occupied ty business houses into public park says the Detroit Free Press. The To man is Mrs. Alfred E, Bousfeld, wife of one of the wealthiest residents of Bay City Mir Bousfeld is one of the three men who brought the S25o GOO hotel and auditorium project to a sue cessful issue.
 The day the old Fraser House burned Mrs. Bousheld began talking park in earnest to her husband The latter be- came impressed with the idea, and he broached 1t to s. c. Fisher, president Of the board of trade, and C. 4. Eddy, his associates in the hotel project. The three gentlemen presented the scheme to the public. and it was ratified at the polls election day by i to vote.
 AS result of Mrs. Bousfeld's idea the new hotel will cost 5000 more than originally planned. fourteen lew business blocks in the business district are. in the hands Of the architects over S40O. Goo las changed hands in down. town realty business property has IT, creased in value from 25 to 100 per cent. and buildings valued at S12lot1 are to be torn down.
 Interest in the hotel and park propn- sition. however. had aroused people generally in matters Of civic improve ment, and Mrs. BousfoiG, always more or less interested in municipal improve ment work by local clubs. took lead ing part in tue organization of the new Woman's Civic Improvement league. She threw open her home on Center avenue for meetings. to which Womel of all classes Of society were Invited. Other wives Of wealthy men followet! the example, and now the membership of the league is mounting rapidly to- ward the thousand mark.
 Absolute democracy prevails am0ic the members. and women who have never before known each other owing to differences In the social scale are working hand in hand. They have overthrown all municipal precedents. made a grand assault on the council and secured the aid of the city in clean ing up the town, the city furnishing the teams t0 haul away the accumula tion of a winters debris from all pri ~a1e residences.

ATTENDANCE WAS SMALL
Ladies Night At Commercial Club
Jolly, But Poorly Attended

Not over twenty members and their
ladies participated in the Ladies Night
given by the Commercial Club last
Friday evening. The committee had
prepared for many more and was great
ly disappointed at the small attendance.
Those present had jolly time, how
ever, and seemed bent on proving how
much the absent ones had missed The
ladies enjoyed their initiation into the
game of billiards. while others amused
themselves at the card tables. A de
licious two course luncheon was served
by Mrs Silleto and this feature was
greatly enjoyed. Later some of the
youngsters" found that they could
not resist the splendid music furnished
by the Wheeler Hover Bond orchestra
and very informal dance was gotten
up on the spur of the moment. The
Commercial Club is especially indebt-
ed to the orchestra for the delightful
music which added so greatly to the
pleasure of the evening.
