three central reserve cities. Olthese
the greatest is New York, which is
the money centre of the nation Also,
It is the speculative centre Of the
country. Between these two facts
there is close connection.
First of all, there is keen compe-
ttion between the great national
BANKS of New York for the accounts
of the country banks" or for the
accounts of any big national or other
bank outside of the metropolis. The
result is that some of the New York
banks have to pay good big rate OF
interest for the money deposited in
them by the outside banks.
Since these accounts come high,
SO to speak, the New York banks
must SO employ that money them
selves that it will yield them the
largest possible return. Hence they
lend it to men who speculate iii Wall
Street, and who finance speculative
enterprises, and who are willing 10
pay well for the money they need.
In other words, the millions of re-
serve money from outside national
banks that is constantly piling up in
the New York banks is constant
source of temptation to the specula-
tors. They know that the banks have
the money and, as long as they know
where they can get the money, they
are willing to plunge and speculate.
These big bank deposits create an
easy" condition of the money mar
ket because they comprise large
amount of capital seeking employ
ment. When money is easy" the
stock market is inclined 10 be good.
Prices go up. When operators have
access to lots of money they can
manipulate the market and send pric-
es up still further This is one re-
suit of the pi!ing up of the reserve
in New York.
When the New York banks lend
out their money they require that
collateral be deposited for it. This,
in speculative transactions, is invar-
iably negotiable stocks. Now, if the
stock market is being manipulated
by bulls-that is, spectators who are
seniing the pr!ce up-it follows tina;
the banks are lending differer,
amounts of money on the same stock.
The higher the stock goes the more
they lend on it.
Take, for example, the case #
Great Northern preferred stock and
follow it through the process of a
boom. At the start it is quoted al
$50, and the big New York banks are
lending the spectators and operators
SIPS for every share of it deposited
as collateral Then the market goes
soaring. 1t rises to 34S Gas it act
TALLY did). This means that the same
bankers who loaned $I2s when tn.
stock was $50 are now lending $3.50
on every share of the same stock.

A PLEASANT EVENING

The Baptist young people are noted for new and original methods of enter taining, but their St. Patrick evening beat all former records. The wearers 70 the grane" were everywhere in evil dence, and the flag of Ireland was draped with our own beloved stars and stripes in various places. All the rooms of the church were thrown open, and the most lavish decorations abOunded in every room including the cook in the kitchen
 The entertainment in the auditorium was exceptionally fine, and greatly en- joyed by an audience of abuot two hun dred The young people feel very grateful to all who assisted in making the hour so delightful.
 At the close of the formal entertaip- ment the social committee handed around old Irish conundrums written with green ink and embeilished with hand paintings of green shamrocks and green snakes Special privileges were promised those who or<ained the great est number of credit points in guessing. and it might be mentioned that these smart ones were to be accorded the special privilege of washing the dishes to reward them for their brilliancy.

 Undoubtedly an effort will be made in the next legislature to secure per mission to carry on sEch an arrange ment as has been in force at the Nor mal for years. It is advantageous to all parties concerned. The training school is almost necessity to a school which has for its object the training of teach CTS The pupils of the school are all most all residents of the Tempe school district and if the training school should now be abandoned. provision would have to be made for them in the public schools of that district. The amount drawn on account of these pu- pills is about $45OO Though as pupils of the Tempe district more could not be dram the-- could not have the facilities they now enjoy for the same money, since at present the territory furnishes the building and supplies and pays half the salaries of the teachers.

AN ADVERSE OPINION
 10 TRAINING SCHOOL
It Cannot Draw Money From the Pub. lie School Fund

The training school Of the Tempe Normal will either have to be abandon ed. or # will have to he supported wholly by territorial funds. It was de- cided yesterday by District Attorney Eullard following hearing before the board of supervisors a few days ago, that the Temoe school district could rot under the law draw school money from the c0unty on account of the pupils cf the training school.
 He finds that the school is in no sense a public school. but that it is ap- purtenant to the Normal school and is wholly under the control of the Nor nal authorities: that the payment of tfe public school mone-s of half the salaries of the teachers employed there does not constit-te it a public school.
 Afier the hearing the matter was submitted b:' Mr. Bullard to Attorney General Clark for the territory as well as this county was interested in the outcome. Yesterday. Mir Bullard call ed up the attorney general by long dis

Gen Hugh Cameron Dead.

Gen. Hugh Cameron, known as the
kansas Hermit died of apoplexy
in Topeka hospital. He went from
Lawrence to attend the funeral of A
H Case, an old friend. Gen. Cameron
was 81 years old at the time of his
death. He was born at Saratoga
Springs, N Y, October, %, 1926. He
went to Washington, d. c., shortly
after the election of Zachery Taylor
as president. There he became ac-
quainted with Webster, Clay, Doug
las and other eminent statesmen of
the day. He moved to his hermitage
near Lawrence in 1854. Before that
time he was professor of mathematics
in Rittenhouse academy, Washing
ton. Then for a time he was clerk
in the treasury department. His
health failed and he moved to Kansas
in time to be identified with the free
state struggle. He located his claim
On the Kansas river a few miles west
of Lawrence. He laid the foundation
for. a house. The rock he quarried by
himself. The framework of the house
was made of walnut lumber. Years
ago enemies of the hermit fired the
house and it was totally destroyed.
Since then he lived under a thatch Oh
limbs and bOughS on his claim or In
a crude shed under a tree in an out
of-the-way place in Lawrence His
appearance was all his title of hermit
implied. His white hair and beard
unkept and long, and a long stocking
cap, served to identify him every
where. Gen. Cameron made several
pilgrimages of political nature. One
of the best remembered of those was
two years ago this winter when he
went to Albuquerque, N. NJ, to hunt
up Edmund G. Ross bearing a letter
of forgiveness for the vote Ross cast
as senator from Kansas when Andrew
Johnson's Impeachment trial was in
progress Ross was the last man to
vote and his vote saved Johnson. The
feeling against him has since died out
and, at Gen. Cameron's request, the
Kansas legislature officially ''fGrgave'
the vote.

Secretary Coburn's Report.

The greatest ever, is the way Z. D.
Coburn characterizes the agricultural
year of 1908 in Kansas The secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture
issued the final report of the depart
ment for the year. While the total
yields of farm products have not been
as high as in some years, the Kansas
farmers will have $11 ,596 PA more to
spend this year than in any previous
u months in the states history. Corn
is still king in the Sunflower state
with a crop of 150,640,516 bushels,
valued at $S2,G42,64 Animals sold
for slaughter constitute the next most
valuable product for the year with a
value of S67,7G5, 1853. Next comes
wheat-z6,SOS, 1922 bushels of it, worth
$50, 1885, JAG. The Kansas hen is still
on the job, with s9,306,651 to her
credit for the II months Of all
classes of farm products there were
good yields, ard top notch prices. The
following interesting facts are cleaned
from the report:
The total yield of corn was 150, 040,-
SIG bushels from 7,057,535 acres, and,
appraised at it's home value by those
who grew it, was worth $S2,642, 461.
Although 18th in aggregate yield, it
is first in value
1t is the most valuable wheat crop
ever produced by Kansas and rated
worth S7,O97,634 more than that of
1907, which ranks second The aver
age value a bushel this year was
above SO cents, the highest since 1881.
The field crops were worth more
than A per cent more than those of
the years, of 1898 and 1894 combined,
and the total value of all farm pro-
ducts is so per cent greater than the
average for the 20 years ending with
1907.

Van Brunt and Martin Hartley, two rich
New Workers seeking rest. Because of
latter pairs lavish expenditure of money,
Pratts first impression connected
with lunatics. The arrival of James
Hopper, Van Brunt's valet gave Pratt
the desired information about the New
Workers. They wished to live what they
termed THE Natural Life" Van Brunt,

for the hand of Miss Agnes Page, who
gave Hartley up The Heavenlies'' hear

and engage Sol Pratt as chef. Twins
agree to leave Nate Scudder's abode and
begin unavailing search for another
domicile, Adventure at Fourth of July
celebration at Eastwich. Hartley rescued
a boy, known ''Reddy, from under
horses feet and the urchin proved to be
one of Miss Pages charges, whom she
had taken to the country for an outing.
Miss Page and Hartley were separated
during a fierce storm, which followed the
picnic. Out sailing later, Van Brunt.

SICK he says Then he'll have to
stay longer than the month";
Trust Nate Scudder to see a silver
lining to any cloud-and then rip
out the lining and put it in his
pocket.
By this time he was beating in to-
wards where the Neck Road comes
down to the beach. And there on the
shore was a Teller hailing us. And
when we got close in it turned out
to be Hartley himself
He was glad enough to see me- but
when he found that Van and Lord
James had turned up missing he was
in a state. He'd been kind Of scared
when we didn't come back during the
night and had walked down to the
beach in the morning to see if he
could sight us.
We headed off shore again. Nate
watched Hartley pretty close and I
suppose when he seen that the Twin
didn't show any symptoms of getting
sick, he begun to worry again. He
got out a piece of pencil and an old
envelope and commenced to figure.
''Mr. Hartley" says he, after awhile;
about them lady friends of yours
over to Eastwich. Do you caPlate
they're going to like where they are?
Seems to me a place that's as easy
to run away from as that amt the
best place for boys school. If they
was on an island now, the scholars
couldn't run off 1 know a nice island
| they could have cheap. Fact is,
own it-that is, Hubby owns it; it's
| in her name. That's it over there"
Hartley didn't answer 1 looked
where Nate was pointing.
"oh!" says 1. ''Horsefoot Bar.
That's a healthy place for a school.

if yuu want particular how the re-

five miles from the Old Home House,
a mile and half from the mainland,
and two foot from the jumping-off
place. By the help of Providence, de-
cent weather, a horse, two whips, and
boat, you can make it from Well

when you have made it, you can set
in the sand and hang on to your hat
and listen to the lonesomeness. I'd
forgot that Scudder owned it. When
him and 1 sailed up that morning we'd
passed it on the outside; now we was

arguing, land you might live there
forever and nobody could run away
''Humph!" says I, thinking of some
thing I'd seen in a newspaper; ''Helrs

Hartley was looking at the Bar now
All to once he grabbed me by the
arm and pointed.

Car Repairers Work in Houses.

w. A Johnson, commissioner of
the bureau of labor and industry, in a
report issued recently says that the
law requiring the building of sheds to
protect car repair men in storms is
being generally observed by the rail-
roads in Kansas. The law was passed
in 1907, but few sheds were built last
winter. This year, however, sheds
have been built at all important
points. There are several disputes
over the location of these sheds, which
may require litigation
