1t Is estimated that there are now
about 1900 banking institutions In
this country, fully one-third OF the
number being national banks and
alone possessing the right to issue
bank notes which circulate as money.
The number Of banks Of all kinds Is
constantly changing, but the latest
statistics OF financial institutions show
over 5000 national banks, approx
mately 1900 state banks, 1,400 saw
ings banks, about 800 trust companies
and as many private banks.
State banks, savings banks and
trust companies are chartered under
state laws. State banks are similar
In the methods OF business to national
banks, except that they cannot issue
notes to be used as money-that is to
say, a tax OF 10 per cent upon such Is
sues acts as an effectual prohibition.
Many OF the trust companies do saw
lngs bank and q deposit and checking
business and also act as trustees Of es-
tates. AS rule. the savings banks
are guarded and hedged about In every
way with respect TO the use Of the
money intrusted to them for safe keep
Ing. The national banks are under
federal restrictions with respect to the
Issue OF bank notes and are required
by law to keep on hand money re-
serve to safeguard their depositors.
That reserve varies from % per cent
Of the deposits In New York city to 10
per cent and even less In smaller

what Gen. Sherman said it was.

what Gen. Sherman said it was.
 The duties and surroundings of the conference were very onerous indeed. It had to battle against tremendous forces, the weight and influence of the victors in war for centuries pre- ceeding, the vast and powerful combi- nations of allied crafts, ship builders and gun and ammunition manufactur- CTS, heroes with names and titles won in battle, together with the jealousies and suspicious of countless genera tions of sharp and crafty diplomats, and ten thousand other difficulties stand in the way of the peace maker.
 Considering these facts, the last ses- sion of the conference was a success. It was characterized by harmony. Com pulsory arbitration failed as did the ad- dition of contraband in war, bnt 38 states voted for the establishment of a permanent court before which interna- tional conflicts may be brought for ar bitration. The conference signed thir- teen conventions and passed seven res olutions, none of them of an epochal nature, but all make for peace and uni ty among the nations.
 There is no ground for the assertion that the conference was failure. The Palace of Peace is to be constructed and when the third conference meets in it, the nations of the earth will be near CT a realization of the fact that arbi- tration is better than war in at least nine cases out of ten, if not in all cases. The world is moving for peace with en- couraging progress.

A Costly Indulgence e.
(Bv the Local Union)

Government statistics have shown that $350, 100000 are vast ed on the vice of tobacco each year-far more than is spent for bread. Yet every loafer, tramp and beggar must have the poison, though he lackthe bread.
 Millions of money have also been lost by the fires kindled by smokers, whose burning match es and fl. ing sparks have caused fearful cOnfagrations and numer- ous fatal burnings. That the abomination of street smoking is allowed is a marvel of modern civilization.
 There are laws forbidding spit ting on the side walks and yet men are allowed to puff the vile smoke into the nostrils of every passer by-and into the faces of tender little children and yet the boards of health are silent as to their recommendations in abol- iShing the nuisance. It will come by and by, tho, and we work on and hope on, fully believing in the ultimate triumph of good. Af- ter awhile men will be mere thoughtful of the comfort of oth- CTS, and their own obligations in the matter, and consequently will cleanse themselves from all tilthiness of the flesh" thus offer ing their bodies to service "a sweet smelling sacrifice" instead of an offenSe.

PRACTICAL RELIGION.

The recent revivals in Prescott will have accomplished a good purpose if they have made the various churches dilligent in works as we'll as in faith and prayer Religious fervor is a cry important thing in the Christia n's life, but any religion is poor which is not practical. There are really few ideal churchmen, men who are we'll balanced as Christians. Some men are very fer vent in prayer and say amen while others are not so enthusiastic and work more. We need both en thusiasm and work, and it is mistake for one mem Der to think that another is not inter- ested in religious matters because he may be deficient in something in which another may be very proficient. With some men, religion means to do things, while in others it runs chiefly to snuff fies and grunts.
 A pious sister recently remarked in discussing religious matters with a par ty of friends that she wished sister would get warmed up during the meet ing, but was surprised to be informed by member of the party that sister was at that very moment doing some church work which practically ev- cry lady in the church was shirking. The sooner we can harness the religious enthusiasm developed in the meeting tc some good work for humanity, the bet ter Christians we will be.

WAS IT A SUCCESS?

Certain newspapers and periodicals in the country rather decry the work of the Hague Conference and leave the impression that it was failure. This is far from the truth.
 It is difficult indeed to state in def- mite terms just what measure of suc- cess was accomplished, owing chiefly to the adverse circumstances under which the conference met, but the fact that an international peace conference was held and lasted for 122 days is in itself a tremendous success. After centuries of blood and carnage, the world is com ing to itself. It may be hundred years vet before we have universal peace, but civilized nations cannot always ex- ist in warfare. Peace is one of the greatest things in the universe. It comes from God. While war is just

largest amount was Of the common

being S175.003.60
Clay is the only county in the state
in which there are no leases OF state
lands of any character, all OF sucn
lands In that county having been dis

there Is yet a quarter section Of school
land which is leased at so cents an

river under lease than in last years,
and the demand in that section Is
growing stronger each year with but
little now left Unbiased in the larger

WHEN HIPMUNkS SING.
Vocalize In Spring at a Rate Of 1870
Chirps a Minute.

Chirps a Minute.
The chipmunk is not usually consid-
cred much of a songbird, but according
to Ernest Thompson Seton he Is quite
a ucces in a vocal role.
In Manitoba the chipmunk comes
above ground about the first or second
week of April, says Mr.. Seton In Sue
cess. Mounted on some log or root, it
reiterates a loud, chirpy "Chuck-chuck
chuck!" Other chipmunks run forth
into the sunlight, and seeking some
perch add their "Chuck-chuck-chuck,"
to the spring salute. They are active
from this time of the year on, and
their sunny morning chorus is not by
any means confined to that original
outburst. On April 20, 1905, at Cos
Cob, | heard a chipmunk In full song,
He kept 1t up for eleven minutes with
out ceasing, and uttered 100 chirps to
the minute. He got NJ reply, though
he worked very hard and seemed tired
toward the last. On May %, 1905, at
Cos Cob, l heard a chipmunk singing.
He kept 1t up for three minutes, utter
ing three chirps to the second.

GATHERS DIVORCE DATA.
Federal Statistician Investigates South
Dakota Statistics.

"
South Dakota divorces, Of world.
wide fame, may be the subject of a
special investigation by the United
States government. For several days
past J. swinburn of Washington, con-
nected with the bureau Of statistics,
has been working on the Lawrence
county records, securing statistics on
divorce.
Mr.. swiIburn volunteered the infor-
nation that he has been instructed
to obtain the number Of divorces
granted in this county from 1887 to
date, twenty years, as we'll as the
caus named, the time the couple
were married, whether there was all
mony granted, a contest made and
similar data. Thus far he had found
that up to 1905 there were $40
divorces granted in this county, a re-
markably low figure.
After obtaining his information
here Mr. Swinburn will work the 9TH
or prominent counties of the state
where divorce data will be of service
to the government. Further infor-
nation on his mission Mr.. Swinburn
will not divulge.
