The Financial Furry.

In spite Of much advice TO
the contrary there are quite "A
number Of persons who have
been drawing their money
from the banks M order 10 be
safe Tney couldn't DO a
more foolish thing or cause a
panic IN any surer way. The
banks make their morey by
loaning the deposits TO reli-
able borrowers Oh time aud il
the banks were all called upon
10 pay of depositors not one
out Of ten could do SO because
there isn't enough money in
the country. In case deposit
tors want their money the
banks IN turn call in their
loans as they become due, but
II Can be easily seen what ei-
feet this has on business, as
under our financial system
every dollar must do the work
of ten and If that dollar is
stuck away in a TN can 1t is
dead.
The country was never in a
more prosperous condition
than now, banks were never
safer Especially so in Mar
shall and there isn't the
slightest cause for alarm.
If you have cash on hand,
why not meet all your obliga-
tions, such as taxes, church
aud. lodge dues, newspapers,
aud various accounts and then
IL you have any left let it so
into circulation through the
banks.
The panic is simply u Wall
Street scare, created accident
ally or on purpose to fleece
the public out of millions by
running down stocks aud re!
buying them when at rock
bottom. The West is no
longer dependent upon Wall
Street aud If we refuse to be
scared we will not have TO be
afraid Of q "stringency" or

Life on Mars Confirmed.

Prof. Percjval Lowell of Harvard, in a
communication to Nature, a British sci
entilic publication, declares that the OBJ
servations made during the recent oppo-
sition of the planet Mars tends to estab-
fish the fact that the planet is at present
the abode of intelligent constructive life.
Speaking of the observations of the polar
caps. which were begun three months and
a half before the opposition occurred, it
was possible to catch the south polar can
at it's maximum and the northern at its
minimum extent. Prof. Lowell is salts
fed that he was able 10 observe develop
ment of the canal system in the antarc-
tic and south temperate zones.
He says it is a direct conclusion from
this that the planet is at present the
abode of intelligent beings. He adds that
the theory of such life was not on a pri-
orr hypothesis on his part, but was the
result of observations now fully con-
frmed. On the photographs taken al
ready he has counted 6fty-six canals, and
It appears now certain that the position
ing of points of the Marian topography
VII; be realized. Three of the photo
grapts are published in Nature and snow
various canals hitherto unknown to Eu
ropean astronomers.

COLD PLATES AND HOT PLATES,
Many of Former StiII to he FoundJ
h LATTER, Spreading.

Many of Former Stil to he Fonndy
the LATTER, Happily, Spreading.
1--WE still find,' said an old Washing
%tonian, many cold plates. Lots of peo-
pie seem to regard hot plates as a SUI
perfluity, or even as an affectation of
style that is not to be encouraged, and
so give you cold plates to eat hot food
from; thus really spelling many a good
meal.
Il ate dinner yesterday at q place
where the food Is excellent and admir-
ably cooked, and where everything
they give o is good and appetizing,
and ample in supply, but where the
joy of the meal was married by cold
plates. ...
Just why they give you cold plates
at this place I don't know, but it is
simply the survival of an ancient GUS
tom, I guess.
For hot plates are a modern Gus.
tom. Formerly people got along very
we'll without them; but 1t is different
now when it is so easy to provide
them. And yet they are by no means,
ever today, everywhere to be found.
You might eat today at the abund-
ant, he well-supplied and the we'll
equipped table of 4 family whose every
member was the personification OF
kindly grace n hospitality, and yet
find here your food served to you on
cold plates; rugged people, these, by
whom, out of some feeling bred in the
days when luXuries were less common,
hot plates would still be considered as
ii mark of concession to effeminacy.
And by such n reason, indeed, might
the cold plates be accounted for In
some small hotels, off the beaten track,
though in many another hotel their
presence is due simply tC slackness,
Indifference or a failure to rise to
modern conditions.
But the hot plate, by no means a
sign Of degeneracy, but n marking
simply and nationally a desire to rise
to our privileges, is everywhere spread
ing it will some day everywhere pre-
vail, and meanwhile when we eat
where it has not yet come, let us be
grateful then for the food.'-Washing'
ton Post.

Standard Oil Company of Indiana was
couched in language that could not be
mistaken. Sarcastic reference to the
Atoms position regarding rebates given
the Standard Oil Company were made
by the court.
In the pamphlet, distributed broad
cast throughout the country, the Stand
ard Oil Company takes the position
that it is being prosecuted rather than
prosecuted by the government, and the
fat statement is made that other cor
porations are just as culpable of the
practice of rebating as is the oil con-
Germ. This is what Mr.. Moffett has
been given an opportunity to prove.

Word has recently been received from
Prof. G. w. Gilmore, who, accompanied
by Prof. w. II. Shaw of the Washington
State College and a party of scientists
from the East, is now in central Alaska,
that they have found a specimen of thu
mastodon frozen intact in the great Muir
glacier, near the Chilkoot Pass. The
party set out on this particular errand
and their hopes were more than realized
when they discovered this large and per.
feet specimen imbedded in the great ice
field in very much the same position az
when overwhelmed by the frigid elements
On some portions of the animal the hail
and flesh were still fresh, but crumbled
when exposed to the air. 1t is estimated
that the length of the mastodon from the
end of it's trunk to the tip of the tail
was about 10 feet, and that when stand.
ing on all tours the height must have
been nearly 40 feet.

BIG OIL TRUST PROFITS,
New York hearing shows Profit or

T4op'" ",o3I in seven ears.
The hearing before Special Federal
Referee FcrriSS of Missouri in the gov
ernmcnt suit TO dissolve the great oil COM
olnatlon was begun at New York, with
Attorney Frank L. Kellogg representing
the government and John q. MIIburn and
others as counsel for the Standard Oil
Company. MIR. Kellogg submitted in evil
dence statistics compiled by the Standard
Oil officials. showing that the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey had earned
profits in The last seven years Aggregate
ing $i9O,3l5,934, and chat during the
same time dividends had been paid to the
amount Of $30S, 3J9.403. These profits
came from the plants owned by the parent
company, as we'll as from those of the
subsidiaries controlled by ii. This was
the first time in the history Of the oil
trust that Il rr"Ord Of its earnings entire
had been made public. Acting Controller
Fay of the Standard said there were
nineteen subsidiary companies. and gave
their names. TMn evidence is beng taken
for use in The Circuit Court at st. Louis,

antitrust law. is to be prosecuted. Mr.
kellogg, among other things. wanted the
company to produce the minutes of the
various meetings at which the absorption
of smaller companies was arranged, but
the counsel for the company was inclined
to resist.
The examination of Charles NJ. Pratt,
secretary of the trust, brought out the
fact that the parent company had trans
fcrred its 81 100000 holdings in the
WaterS-Pierce Oil Company of Texas to
a son-in-law of Vice President .Archbold
from 3 to 1907. during the custer pro-
ceedings brought against the subsidiary
by the State OF Texas, and that only
$120,0O0 in cash was paid for the stocks,
the remainder beng in the form of a note
which was never fully taken up, the prof

toward the payment of the note. Mr..
Pratt admitted that this transaction did
not appear on the books of the Standard.

&C. NJ. Pratt Investment" Mr.. Pratt
explained that by this arrangement he
held the stocks for the trust merely as a
convenience, and when asked if it was
not done to avoid the antitrust laws of
Texas he replied, Not that l know Of"
Tabulat;ons were also verified showing
enormous earnings of subsidiaries, among
which those of the Standard Oil Company
of Indiana appeared most remarkable.
This corporation on a capitalization OF
S ,O00.O0O made profits in 1906 amount
ing to $1O,51G,OS2. and last year paid to
the parent company S4,495,50O. This
amounted for at least II year to the re-
markablc profit of 1000 per cent. Mr..
kellogg also brought out evidence show
ing how the New York branch had been
systematically draine by saddling upon
it enormous liabilities at the same time
that its assets were greatly increased.
Counsel Milburn disclosed one line of de-
Tense by giving notice that the trust
would object to any testimony bearing
upon acts committed prior to July 9,
1890, when the Sherman law went into
effect.

CHICAGO,

Activity in the leading producing in.
lustrieS discloScS I'D diminution, although
he aggregate of new demands has fallen
below the exceptional bookings at this
time last year. Delay in agreement
upon the new rail specification holds up
many contracts for steel mills and lessons
the demand for pig iron. but Indications
are good for an early lifting of this tenn
porary embargo.
Other heavy manufacturing line main
tain steady drawing upon capacity and
absorb large quantities of supplies. and
current deliveries of finished products ere
remarkably large in machinery. hardware,
cars, furniture and footwear.
The course of prices affords some re-
lief to consumers of raw material and
receipts of the latter continue ample,
while values of leading outputs az the
factories remain unchanged. Financial
conditions are paramount in considering
new enterprises and,' while no decline in
the cost of borrowing may be looked for
soon, there is a better feeling in the
money market, which begins to haye a
salutary effect upon business.
y most encouraging feature is the sus-
tanned enormous marketings of grain and
the rapid conversion of these and other
farm products into cash, all making sub
stantial addition to the circulation of
money, which must eventually stimulate
commerce and widen confidence.
Buying of necessaries reflects satisfac-
tory Roadway, trade in the leading retail
departments being s~easonably strong and
much augmented by liberal purchases of
many visitors from the interior. For
wardings of stable merchandise exceed
those at this time last year, and country
merchants operate freely.
Western advices indicate prosperous
conditions throughout the agricultural
sections, and country stocks of merchan-
disc under gratifying reductions. Collec-
tions at most points are reasonably
prompt, while the record of defaults
again makes a favorable showing.
Freight movements by both rail and
lake are much in excess of those a year
ago. and the calls for cars to rush bread
stuffs, coal and lumber begin to overtax
equipment. The total movement of grain
at this port aggregated 1851, 6S1 bushels,
against 9,T91 ,691 bushels last week and
9,621,O11 bushels a year ago.
Bank clearings, $246, 904,950, exceed
