Uncle Sam has approximately $780,
O95 employees on his payroll, on the
authority of the "blue book" for 1909,
about to be issued The numberi Is CON
stantly on the increase, which is prob
ably to be expected, but the increase
for the coming year, owing to the de-
cennial census, will be larger than usual
and will add nearly 5000. 600 to gov
eminent expenses. As nearly all the
great army of employees are under civil
service regulations, government en-
ployment and patronage do not present
the political issues they did under the
old spoils system.

The Mineral Point bank failure affair
has taken. on a new turn. AS was
stated, two weeks ago, President Spens-
ley was indicted by the grand jury and
placed under arrest. He was released

veloped that Allen has attempted to
transfer his property to relatives. In
this connection, on charge of conspiracy
to defraud, Mrs. Allen, her sister and
brother-in-law, were arrested by gov
eminent officials. And the plot thick
ems as the days lengthen and strengthen.

Wallace's Farmer in well considered
