Council Will Hold a Caucus
Monday Afternoon.
IMPORTANT MATTERS
Will Also be Discussed at
the Gabfest.
The Distribution Of the City's
Money Among the Banks Of the
City Will be up for Discussion.

The city council Will hold a cau-
Gus Monday afternoon, for the pur-
pose OF considering raises in the
yllal'ies of different city officials
and TO take up other matters of inn
portance which must be disposed
of before the close of the year.
Just what will be done in the mat
ter of salary increases is matter of
conjecture. 1t is practically certain
that the salary of the mayor will be
raised to $1,000 year, and there is u
probability that the salaries of the
Iservice board members will be in
|creased to $i00 year.
The real matter Of Importance in
this connection, however, is to de-
termine what shall be the duties of
the city treasury and what his COM
pensation shall be. 1t is almost
|oertain that the city money will be
ct out at competitive bids beginning
with January

ed a contract with the American
Lyceum Union, one OF the leading
lecture and entertainment bureaus
of the ">untry. and Will begin his
work as lecturer next summer
at the opering of the Chautaaua
eason.
Just what RJv. Piatt's plans are
in regard to his future connection
with the ministry he is unable to
state. He will remain in Marion
at least until next summer Dur
ing the winter he will not lecture
under the direction of the Lyceum
Union. but expects to fill num-
Der of engagements Independent OF
any bureau.
In an attractive foder which the
Lyceum Union has issued. an
nouncing Rev. Mr.. Piatt as a lee
turer, there is printed a communi-
cation which the local ministers
received from Upton Sinclair. made
famous bv his book, '!The Junglev
Mr.. Sinclair writes regarding one
of Rev. Mr.. Piatt's lectures as
follows:
"Dear Comrade: 'The Mass

his forcefulness as speaker. The
management says "The lecture-go-

superintendent Mickey of the
Marion Gee oompany is of the
opinion that the city council can.
not prevent his company from re-
quiring a $40 deposit from all non
property owners who want to use
gas. In a conversation with some
of the city officials, he has stated
that court ruling was recently
given ut Newark to the effect
that the gas companies have n
right to require deposit to pro-
tect their own interests. The case
at Newark was almost an exact
parallel OF the case here.
When some of the citizens COM
plained at the last council meet,
ing about having been compelled
10 pay deposit, the matter was
referred to the street light and
gas committee and the city solici-
tor. At that time, members Oh
the council expressed the beiief
that the company had no right 10
follow such procedure. Some
action will likely be taken at the
meeting, Monday night.

new woods or find satisfactory
substitutes for wood. This condition
is typical of practically all of the
hardwood-using industries; all are
trying to find new regions from
which to replenish their supply of
standard materials. Substitutes are
also being eagerly sought. Some of
the industries are successfully ac-
commodating themselves to the
new conditions, but unless steps are
taken to produce as much material
as is consumed some of the hard
wood using industries will not
survive and trades which have
flourished for years will become
extinct.

CHECKS CsSHfD
IN SILVER DOLLARS
One Man Carries 800 From
a Local Bank,
Peddles the Coip About the City
Until he Gets Currency for
Every Dollar.

The financial conditions over the
country have produced number OF
peculiar incidents and one that hap
pened here Friday afternoon is worth
the telling.
A young man was sent over here
by a Kenton bank to collect the
currency on two checks, one for $25
and the other for $3.50. He went in
to local bank and asked for the
cash. The banker paid HIM in silver
dollars and when the young man
went out OF the bank he carried a
sack full of dollars that from all ap-
pearance might have been hickory
nuts.
He then went about the business
houses getting his money changed
INTO bank notes until he had all but
ten dollars in paper. He then re-
turned to the bank with the ten silver
dollars and asked for that amount
OF paper In exchange for the silver
without cracking smile the cashier
handed him out ten one dollar bills.

Americas Growth In Wealth.

The luldest sort of outline which
Is possible to he made of the growth
of the United States IN wealth leads
us into n fairy land of Figures. Dircc-
tor North. of the census bureau, re-
Gently reported the country's wealth
for 1904 ut Sl06,SSO 100000. These
figures are 80 stupendous that the
mind can hardly grasp them. Let us
make few comparisons and see If
We can show how far md how fast
the increase of wealth has beaten that
OF population. In 1850, the first year
IN Which the census bureau made any
inquiry into the matter, the country's
real and personal property was plac-
cd ut n value of S1135O00,0O0. II was
SIG, 100000 in 1860, $42,642, 900 900
in 1850, $SS, 52S,000 900 in 1900 and
S10GSS1 100000 In 1904. This Increase
has SO far exceeded that in popula-
ton that the per capita wealth of the
country, which was $307 I'm 1850, was
s5l3 In 1860. $3.50 in 1880, $1,235 in
1900 and $1,000 in 1904.
Although there are no official
figures for the country's wealth pre-.
pious to 1850. the most careful Esti
mates which have been made plnce
1t at less than $1,000,0O0,0 600 in 1900.
In that year the country's population
was $5SOs,000. Allowing for the
growth between 1900 and the most
recent year to which the census bu.
reau's inquiry has extended, we may
plac the conntry's population today
at S5,0OO,0O0. and ita wealth at Sis
0OOOOO,000. Thus we see that from
1900 to these opening days of 1907,
while the population of the United
States has been multiplied sixteen
times, that of wealth has increased
lis times.--Leslie's Weekly
