The point OF excitement in the
railroad business is how to get cars
enough to carry the traffic offered,
and that goes on increasing.
A Missouri paper rightly says
that the west has the crops and the
cash, too. Wall street should try to
adjust itself to the situation.
Everybody comedies that the pre-.
vention of excited bank runs is a
good thing. The situation will
clear much sooner without the runs.
A government surplus is a good
thing to have on hand when periods
OF financial excitement come along
Complaints about 1.-The useless sur
plus" have subsidized.
A noted divine says: what
would you think of man who tried
to haul load with team composed
OF mule, billy goat, a humble
bee and skunk? That's the kind
of team every pastor has to get
along with in church. Every church
contains kicker, a butter, singer,
and stinker. The pastor may be
able to get his load to heaven, but he
will surely never get his team
inside"
1t has, been suggested heretofore
that those who are calling for Sen
ator Kittredge's record as senator
didn't give us CANDLES record
before electing him last winter.
True, they gave piece of il, show
ing that member of the senator's
family had drawn a certain sum
from the national treasury without
performing any work therefor, but
il was distinctly stated that no por-
ton thereof had been traced to the
senator's pockets. Thereupon there
was wild applause in the galleries.
The Huron Huronite says: at is
charged that State Treasurer Cassill
has over $220,0O0 of the state
money on deposit in one bank in
Sioux Falls; that since he became
state treasurer he has become the
owner of one share of the capital
stock of this bank and elected vice
president of the institution and
placed upon it's salary list at sal
airy of So, 500 year. If this is true
he should be defeated for reelection.
$3.50, 900 is too large a sum to carry
in any one bank and $500 per
annum salary to Cassill is the equity
alent of taking interest on the pub
lie fund"
The new wireless stations at Fair
banks and Circle City, Alaska, are
ready for operation, according to
advices just received by Brigadier
General James Allen, chief signal
officer of the army. The stations
are l40 miles apart and are desig ned
to have a radius of about $50
miles. Before year has elapsed
the signal corps expects to have in
operation wireless connections from
Behring strait to Puget sound. This
is intended to supplement the
Valdez-Sitka cable and the land
telegraph lines, which, in the severe
seasons, are difficult TO keep in
working order

counted as half bales.
Several hundred Teddy bears sat
uneasily on the shelves in a factory
while Rudolph Fleischer and Samuel
Moskovitz, their makers, went to
court in an action to dissolve their
