MT. Hartman is not likely to miss the mark when he puts hs trust in American crops. We believe with NIT. Hartman that the panic of 1907 was one of sentiment, but We also believe that sentiment was a desire of the rich to heap greater poverty on those ~ho were already poor.

DERIVATION OF DOLLAR MARK.
Hss Long Been Subject of Discussion, and Many Are the Theories
 Advanced.

The origin Of the sign {, as repre- senflng the unit of our money sys- tenn. has long been the subject of discussion and not a little doubt. It has been yariously accounted for, the deriyations generally advanced being:
 1. combination of the letters U. s. After the adoption of the federal constitution these initials were pre- fixed to the federal currency, anc. ac- cording to many who have given study to the subject, the two letters were simply run together so as to make the magic :. the loop of the U disappearing in the operation. ?. An adaptation or modification of SIS. once used to denote a piece of eight reals. or, as dollar was then called. piece of eight
 3. A form of H. S., which was used to mark the Roman unit of money.
 4. A contraction of P. and S., used fin Spanish accounts to indicate peso. (Gollar).
 5. A device formerly seen OF the re- verse of a Mexican Pillar dollar. "a Spanish coin). representing the Pill lars of Hercules. connected by a scroll displaying the words Plus Ultra
 6. A contraction of the Spanish "fuertes." thard), to distinguish the silver. or hard. dollar from paper money.
 In all Of these cases it must be ad- r:itted that there is no little specula- ton, and up to this time there is no prospect that the question w.il ever be definitely settled. The student of the subject can take his choice. and doubtless will be able to find some kind of authority for any one of these diverse explanations.

HIsh-voi.sse Undersround Wires.

It is only in comparatively recent years that engineers have deemed 1t safe to carry electric currents of high potential or voltage in underground cables buried under the streets of cities. But nowadays systems of 5000, 11.000. 13.200 or even 10000 volts are employed with entire relia- bility and safety. It is said that when local and commercial conditions justi- fly. pressure as high as 25.0o0 volts can be used satisfactorily under ground. even for systems aggregatirg 100 miles of cable. But no single line of such system should be longer than about 20 miles. On comparatively short lengths underground or under water. as part of a long overhead transmission line, cables operating at 10000 volts may be used.

IL, sailing direct to New York.
Dr.. Cook today proudly wore the
gold medal Of the Royal Danish Geo.

(American News Service,
New York, Sept. 8.-The following
dispatch was received in New York
today from Peary:
~ have nailed the Stars and Stripes
to the North Pole. This is authorita-
tive and correct.
"cook's story should not be taken
too seriously. The Eskimos who &C.
companied him say he went no dis

corroborate this story.

The message came from Indian
Harbor, Labrador. It was sent by wire
less by way Of Cape Ray. N. F., and
created sensation upon its arrival.
Peary's message from indian Har
Dor indicated that he had interviewed
either the Esquimaux taken by Dr..
Cook or others who knew Of the pro.
aress Cook had made.
Arctic explorers and others who
know Of the Northland and its peoples
felt sure before Peary's message was
received that either Peary knew Of

Peary's. Both were believed to have
touched at Etah and rowing bands Of

Unpleasant Experience of
Miss Edith Hilbert, at Her
Home Monday Night.
CRIES SCARED INTRUDER
QUICKLY LEFT WITHOUT TAX.
ING JEWELRY WHICH LAY IN
PLAIN SIGHT MAN ENTERED
THROUGH CELLAR WINDOW.

Upon awakening about / o'clock
yesterday morning Miss Edith Hilbert,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hill
bert, POI North Seventeenth street, was
surprised to see man standing at the
foot of her bed. She screamed for aid
and the intruder was frightened away.
The unknown visitor made no effort
at robbery. although he could have
been remunerated for his. visit by al
propriating the jewelry lying on the
dresser in the bed room.
The police have been informed OF the
intrusion of the unknoFn man, but
have not made any arrests. It is
doubtful if any will follow owing to
the incomplete description which Miss
Hilbert is able to give them. She was
too frightened to notice details of his
appearance.
Miss Hilbert did not awaken her
parents by her calls for aid, but in tue
morning informed them of the un-
known mans visit An investigation
showed that he had gained entrance by
removing a cellar window and made
his escape through the kitchen door.
Miss Hilbert's twin sister, Miss Ed
ma, who was sleeping in the same room
was awakened and both suffered great
ly from the nervous shock OF the af-
fair. Miss Hilbert said this morning
that when she awakened she saw the
dim outline of man standing at the
foot of the bed. She said her own and
her sisters jewelry was lying on the
dresser and in plain view of the III.
truder.

in the habit of knocking" the efforts
OF individual bridge contractors, while
approving of the work done by large

CELEBRATE WHEAT DAY MAY i.


Manhattan. Kan, May For
two years the Agricultural college has
been designating certain subjects for
discussion at the monthly institutes.
The first "state'' subject was alfalfa,
and December IA, 1907, was the first
attempt at concerted action for the
farmers institutes.
Now the farmers institute super
intendent has named May 1 as Wheat
Day." looking to a. general discussion
among thousands of the best farmers
and land owners of the subjects of
pure seed and a better seed bed. In
the "Hessian Fly territory the dis
cussion will naturally include methods
of meeting the ravages of this insect
pest. The Hessian fly is being found
in practically all parts of the state
where it was last year, but 1t is not
being found in those fields that were
we'll p1owed and where volunteer
wheat was kept down.
1t is hoped that 10000 up-to-date
I-lnsans may attend the wheat"
meetings on May 1. Wheat is not
likely to ever get down to a low price
again and these meetings are intend
ed to help the state raise more wheat
per acre. 1t is possible that "seed
wheat" train may be run through
| southwestn Kansas about the last
week in May.
