WILL SHIP CURRENCY.
New York Banks Will Send Cash to
Northwest to Assist the
Movement of Crops.

New York.-Now that the monetary
strain has been lessened locally, the
New York banks began preparations
Wednesday to ship all available cur
rency to the Northwest to aid the
movement of crops. While there is
concerted action among the city's
banking institutions to meet the de-
mands for currency now being made
by banks in the crop country, the in
dividual banks will send all funds that
can possibly be spared for the pur
poses.
Estimates of the combined amounts
that the New York banks will send to
the Northwest within the next six
weeks vary. The Chase National
bank and the First National bank
have commenced to ship daily sums
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000 to
banks along the route of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
roads.

Fusion Gains in Nebraska.

New York.-Elections held through
out the country Tuesday passed off in
comparatively quietness. The returns
from various sections shows the fol-
lowing results:
Massachusetts REFLECTS the entire
republican state ticket headed by
Gov. Curtis Guild, Jr. Henry NJ.

didate for governor, polled a much
heavier vote than Charles W. Bart

ratio that indicates the probable
election of Wilson, the republican can
didate for governor was the situation
at 10 o'clock Tuesday night after one
of the most hotly-contested elections

The indications, however, are that
the democrats will have a safe ma
iority on joint ballot and that Govern
or BecKnam will be elected United
States senator. In the last legislature
the democrats had a majority of 70 on
Joint ballot. 1t is expected that this
will be reduced to a majority of about
20 in the next legislature.

republican candidate, has been elected
justice of the supreme court by ma
jority of 10000 votes is the indication

At Home.
KANSAS.

Il never was a hand to go gawping
round!" contemptuously exclaimed an
old woman who boosted of never hav-
ing seen railway train or a trolley
car or any town but her own. The
generation of stay-at-homes in the
country is perhaps passing away-the
women-they were chiefly women
who prided themselves on their self
Imprisonment on farm or in village as
virtue, serving to demonstrate their
devotion to home and children and
duty. There is class of men in the
business world who have the same
point of view in regard to the object
of life. Such one, dying at the age
of So, left record of 55 years as the
head of banking house, during which
he had been absent from his desk but
two days-and those were accounted
for by sprained ankle. No vacation,
no travel, no day of summer leisure
with wife and children-55 years Of
steady, answering routine! There is
something impressive in the story of
a lifetime of persistent toll. But there
is another point of view which de-
serves respect. The gadabout may be
a useless member of society; but the
stay-at-home is likely to be a narrow
one. We find ourselves on this little
planet. with its oceans and mountains
and mighty rivers and wide prairies.
We know not whence we came, nor If
we shall ever pass this way again.
Surely, exclaims Youths Companion,
we may do our task better in our own
appointed place if we look about the
world, feed our minds with the glories
of nature, and discover how men and
women before us have lived their
lives, and embodied their aspirations
in the great arts of building and paint
ing and sculpture.

Bacon curers are usually among the
