five or eighty licenses a day is fair
average; but this year apparently
half the love sick SWANS in the city
were only waiting for one to make
the fateful dive into the matrimonial
sea, and they flocked to the city hall
in droves that kept the clerks of the
department busy. If the record of
the first day is maintained through
out the month. there will be a total
of $500 licenses by the end of June.
This will eclipse the record of last
June, when 330S licenses were issued.

PROSPERITY RETURNING
THOUGH A LITTLE SLOWLY
Its Speed Will Be Regulated Mainly
by Crop Prospects

Chicago, June Especial Cores
pondence of The Republican, Pros
perity is returning slowly, the whole
sale houses here feeling much more
of its stimulus than industrial inter
ests and railroads. but all lines of
business are watching the crop pros
pect with more eagerness than ever
before, and hopefully. for good crops
and good prices are predicted. Pres
ident ]. T. Harahan of the Illinois
Central railway, one which is very
dependent on agricultural prosperity,
said: Beneficial results attending a
bountiful crop will have an encour-
aging effect upon business generally,
and l think that as soon as crop con-
ditions throughout the land are as
sured there will be a gradual re-
sumption of general business activ-
ity." Dun and Bradstreets reports
point out the all-importance of the
successful moving of the crops, which
includes the imperative need that the
system of crop marketing which cares
for the surplus at harvest be not
disturbed by unwise legislation. In
checking the evil of "bucketshops,"
which do not deal in real commod-
law which for lack of discriminating
provisions, drove out of the state the
legitimate board of trade interests as
well as the bucketshops. In eXpec
tation of the successful moving of
the crops in the west the manufac-
turing interests that center here are
gradually increasing their forces, as
are those in the east. The coal bus
mess has not yet felt this increase,
and the lumber business has had an
enormous falling off, awaiting a re-
vival of building when the money
from this years crop is put into cir
culation. Only a fraction of the crop
will be needed at the time all of it
is harvested but the system of eX
changes furnish a market where spec
ulative interests can and do carry
the major part of the load under
the future delivery system which be-
gins with the farmer and ends with
the consumer That the commercial
and banking interests were right in
denouncing attempts to cripple this
system has had recent Illustrations in
the south, where similar attempts in
respect to cotton curtailed the mar
ket and reduced prices, while last
year the active market of the eX-
changes advanced the value of wheat
hundreds of millions of dollars.

A new railroad between the United
States and Canada, which will short
en- the time from Chicago to Winni-
peg and bring the two countries into
closer commercial touch, has just
been completed, according to advices
received here, and trains will be run
ming before the end of the month.
The new line is the Duluth, Rainy
Lake and Winnipeg railway, which
extends northwest from Duluth to
Fort Frances, Ontario, where it con-
meets with the Canadian Northern.
This will assure to American rail-
roads an active interest in carrying
the big wheat shipments of western
Canada in bond to tidewater and
gives the Canadian Northern a new
outlet on the Great Lakes besides
Port Arthur, where it now has the
largest grain elevator in the world
The completion of the Duluth railroad
marks the passing of an historic trail
which has been used by pathfinders,
voyageurs and Hudson's Bay trap
pers since the earliest days. over
this route came Fraser and other
noted explorers. Work on the right
of way began in 1902 and rails were
laid as far as the Rainy river last
December. A large steel bridge has
just been built across the river at
this point, completing the road into
Fort Frances. over the new route
the distance from Winnipeg to Chi
cago will be some eighty miles short
er than by the one now in use via
st Paul. so the Canadian Northern
with the connecting lines will prove
a formidable competitor of the older
roads Train service will be started
on the 18th of this month and ulti-
mately through service will be estab-
lished between Chicago and Winni-
peg.

Overlooked His Nativity.

It is remarkable that most of the
speeches delivered over the fact of the
unwilling of the monument to General
Anthony Wayne at Valley Forge, and
most of the articles on his career in the
press overlooked the circumstance oil
his nativity. Mad Anthony, as ne
was called from his superhuman daring
and determination in war, was the son
of an Irishman. who came over from
the "old country in the year ll22 and
settled down in Chester county, IN TINS
state. and there Anthony was born.
Governor Pennypacker, who is great on
pedigree and antiquarian lore, seems TO
have been oblivious to this fact when
delivering the ceremonial speech-pos-
sibly because he was still Illuminating
on the mystery of the Fuggers' olsap-
pearance from history or the contents
of the missing Sibylline books. Inc
cases of Wayne and the Brothers Sulll-
van are strikingly similar. When men
were needed for some critical service
