o'clock for the purpose of forming
What is to be called the Railroad

a league as the one which carried the
city improvement bond issue through
with SO great success. Every citizen
who really wants to see another rail-

morrow night and start off the move

Little has been said in public or
private of the new railroad since the
departure of the promoter, Ed Ke7ne-

has been done. The proper committee
have been hard at work, meeting at
least once a day and sometimes more

EXPENSE OF
 PANAMA CANAL

WASHINGTON. D. C-n view of Inc questions which will be asked by the democrats in the next session of congress, government officials have been figuring over the ultimate cost of the Panama canal. The figures show that the ultimate cost of the canal will be in the neighborhood of $264O00 000.
 This is far in excess of the original estimates and the original sum named by congress as the limit within which the expenditures were to be kept II is thought, however, with the splendid progress made. there will be little diff nculty in having the limit raised by congress. This is not to be attempted at the coming session.
 The canal commission is asking for $31. .0OO. 0d0 for the next fiscal Wear. which. il is thought. will be the aver age annual expenditure for the remain ing five and half years the time set for completing the canal

Just d quarter of a century ago says the St Louis Dispatch. the world sazcd with cranrd head and open mouth at still taller giantess, who looked down on her admirers from a height of eight feet two inches and who was said to be still growing.
 Marian" as this remarkable maid was called, had been born only sixteen years earlier in village near the Tur- ingian mountains, and the Amazon Princess" was for some months the greatest attraction in the spectacle of "Babil and Bijou" at the Alhumbra thcater a character in which she wore a wonderful suit of armor and was crowned with q headdress the top most plume of which was a full ten feet from the stage.
 Nor was Marian distinguished only by her great height, for she had a beautifully proportioned figure. dis tinctively pretty face and most ami able disposition. This magnificent creature had a very brief tenure of life, for she died in Berlin less than two years later and before she had seen her eighteenth birthday.
 In 1869 and 1870 Miss Anna H. Swan the Nova Scotia giantess, caused con siderable sensation. Miss Swan seem ed destined from the cradle to be a woman of abnormal dimensions, fol though her father.

Robert. the tallest member of the family, was little over seven and one half feet high and measured 64 inches and 62 inches about the waist and chest, respectively
 while the tallest of the sisters, who died at 20, was seven feet two inches in height and of proportionate build.

"Many small accounts have been with drawn from national banks, trust com- panirs and savings banks by timid depostors. and the money has gone into the strong box or into hiding. On occasions like these what people want is absolute security
 "Whcn q crisis has passed and coni- dcncc had been restored the money would be returned to the savings banks because in the postal savings banks they would receive only about half the interest paid by savings banks"
