AYSTERiA VANIsHEs,
SAYS HENRY CLEWS

New York. Nov. N.-E1enry ClewS says:
Somewhat improved conditions prevail In
the financial district. Hysteria has at last
disappeared and IS now giving way TO a
sober recognition OF the fact that condi-
tons have radically changed, and that the
sooner business begins to readJust itself
10 these new conditions the sooner Will it
be started on the road to real recovery.
OF course the abnormal ~stringency IN
money Is still the chief source of difficulty.
Until tina abates it IS idle to look for any
change for the better. Credit Is badly dis
organized and unable to a its part In
the nations transactions. Consequently
there is an abnormal demand for currency
Dust when the prevailing distrust keeps
alive the tendency to hoard. Not until the
premium on currency begins to disappear;
not until clearing certificates begin to be
withdrawn, and not until bank reserves
pegin to rise can any genuine improve
snent be ooked for. 1t Is quite evident,
now that the situation has passed beyond
the possibility of relief by artificial meas
ures, that II must be allowed to work out
its own solution. Events must take their
natural course. There is already Il very
large increase in currency supply, and we
possess an enormous stock OF gold, which
promises to- be still further increased by
importations from abroad. AS soon as
business returns to the normal or settles
down to the lower level we Will surety
be confronted with an excessive imitation
Of currency and all the unpleasant con-
sequences which that may involve. This,
however, is a contingency somewhat re-
mote and can b. best dealt with when II
arrives, which may not be until the end
Of winter or the arrival Of spring. During
the interim we shall probably be fully oc-
oupied with the inevitable process OF re-
adjustment into which we have plunged
with unexpected force and suddenness'
incidentally we may receive some en-
couragement by the efforts OF congress To
give US a sound and elastic currency sys-
tenn for that Is sure to be a burning and
possibly the leading question In the COM
ing session. Unfortunately the Legislative
outlook liz confused by a multiplicity oil
propositions n by the absence of any
unity Of purpose or strong leadership; but
something Is almost sure to be done tc
correct the rigidity of our currency sys'

ing the financial situation.

BURGLARS DESTROY
NOTES, GET CASE

Spencer, Ia, Nov. 26.--Burglars en-
tered the Office of A. Z. Larsen, an i'm
plement dealer in this city. worked the
safe combination and secured SIS in
cash and 5000 in notes.
When the robbery was discovered
shortly before midnight by the night
watch the safe door was standing open,
and papers and books were strewn over
the floor. The notes which were value
less to the robbers, had been torn into
small pieces and strewn along the street
for about our blocks.
The fact that all the notes were COM
pleteiy demolished leads Mr.. Larson to
think that possibly 1t was some one
who had 4 grudge against him. It is
more probable, however, that 1t is the
work of the same gang which has been
operating in this vicinity for the past
two weeks. In the other two instances.
however, they worked on postofices,
h first time at FOstoria and the other
time at Milford.

BROTHERS DROWN
AT SIOUX FALLS

Sioux Fails. s. D., Nov. 27.-One ~
the most pathetic tragedies of recent
occurrence in this city was the drown
ing In the Sioux river in the
ern Icrtion OF Sioux Falls OF Harry
and Chester Taylor, brothers, aged 3
and 8 years. The searching parties
were in charge of Chief of Police Wade
and Special Officer Gamberg, and after
a great deal of effort succeeded in find
ing the Lodies of the two boys.
1t was supposed that the mother or
the drowned boys was q widow, but 1t
appears she was deserted by her hus-
band, w. G. Taylor. The family came
from Texas and prior to taking up .
permanent residence in sioux Falls re-
sided ut Mitchell. Mrs. Taylor is the
mother OF six children. four of them
yet being alive. She is in destitute cir
CflmS-ances.

BOSTON PALMS Off
SOME DRIED BEANS

Washington, No.. 26.---BOston loses
in another bout before DR.. Wiley; chief
C. enlist of the department OF agricul-
ture. This time succotash Is the cause
OF her undoing. Some frugal and I'M
feeling Yankee dared sOa dried beans
in water, mix them with green corn
and call the compound just what he
would have If the beans had been green.
This is a pure food felony, and great
was the ange of DR.. Wiley when he
heard of it. A rival Gamer of s~uccotash
made the discovery.
INDUSTRIOUS" exclaimed the doctor.
That's a vegetarian hash"
So he ruled that green corn and green
beans only may be used and there is
woe in Boston, where the price of the
simon-pure article is soaring.
