There never are any bank fall
ures and. labor strikes in Mexico"
@. R. Troxel, an attorney Of Chihau-
hua, Mexico, said yesterday to Kan
sas City newspaper man. "There are
three classes Of banks in Mexico, and
It is an ordinary thing for banks to
have a capital stock Of from 10 to
80 million dollars. The banks OF
issue are permitted to issue currency
and they are required to have in the
bank vaults so per cent of the cur
rency issue to back 1t up.
"Then there are banks of promo
ton which are permitted to float the
stocks Of big corporations and the
corporations thus promoted are In
spected by the government and the
capital limited SO as to avoid fraud
and watered stock. The banks OF
agriculture promote agricultural en-
terprises and deal with the farmers.
Each class of banks is restricted 70
its own business sphere, Before a
big farm or real estate loan is made
the property is appraised by two re-
sponslble men and the appraisement
filed with the proper authorities.
This governs the amount OF money
the banks Of agriculture may LEND
for a maximum time Of six months.
OF course the loan may be renewed
as in this country. A strict super
vision is made of the banks. In the
eleven years have lived in Mexico
not one bank failure has been re-
ported.
"several years ago a big railroad
employees strike was attempted, put
the government put a stop to II at
once. It was the first and last
strike Mexico has had to contend
with. The government made II a
rule that where a man or set OF men
were not satisfied with the wages
they were receiving they should have
the privilege of going on a strike
but would not permit them to inter-
fere with other workingmen employ
ed to fill the places of the strikers

HER1NGToN's FAMILY SCRAP.
Politics is Mixing Up the Running OF
the City.

Harrington, May 22.-At the last
meeting Of the city council OF Her.
ington the water commission, COM
posed of B. G. Crazy, G.. H. Randall
and James Trip, was cancelled from
the city list of officials and the water
and light committee of the city coun-
ell was given the duties OF the COM
mission. This is the end of a big fight
which has. been going on for some
time between the two political part
les of the city-one claiming that
the other was ignorant of the laws
of the city and the other claiming
that their opponents were running
the city into debt. 1t is really a
continuation Of the old Stubbs-Le-
land fight of a year ago. The fac
tions are still hanging by their old
parties and the feeling has spread
into city affairs.
The Graduating of the water COM
mission of Harrington was caused d.
rectly by the present condition OF
the water system in this city. Last
year this city spent over $4,000 in
the construction of new water
system with big modern pumping
station, new water mains and a wat
er tower. At the present time the
whole system is only used for fire
protection. The water Is so hard
that 1t can not be used In engine
boilers and the manufacturing con-
Germs have found 1t necessary to rely
mon their old methods Of procuring
water from the creek running
through the city. The fire pres
sure is magnificent however, the hre
men being able to throw water 100
feet in the air..
Although at the present time the
city is using the old hard water sup
ply active preparations are being
made for a new series Of wells. It
is expected that these new wells will
be in use in a very short time, They
will be dug just east of the city
where a fine artesian flow has been
found. This will give Harrington one
Of the finest water systems in Kan
sas. The new pumps and mains are
of the very latest pattern and make
They include all of the modern
methods Of a good up to date WateI
supply.
There are a number Of industries
ready to enter this city as soon a
the water supply is remedied. Her
ington is on the main line OF the
Missouri Pacific and is big diVis
ion point on the Rock Island-th'
largest freight division in the west

for the purpose of distributing 1t to
pay our debts? The commissioners
could perform no other service for
the city than the council is now per-
forming. There could be no other
public improvements because there
would be no funds with which to pay
for them and no larger revenue could
be collected by taxation because the
limit of assessment has already been
reached.

nation concerning this move has been
kept from both the soldiers and tailors.
Heretofore there have been IT'S per

A UNIONS GRATITUDE.
Ever Hear Of "Free and Indepen dents"
Aetna Like This,

A striking example of gratitude in
labor union was furnished last week
by the conductors and motormen en-
ployed on the Yonkers railroad, when
the local union unanimously voted a
days pay from every member to Geo.
B. Wray, for many years the leading
druggist of Yonkers, who has recent
ly suffered financial reverses. Mr..
Wray was one of three citizens who
acted for the men when they were on
strike last year, and obtained such
concessions from E. A. Maher, presi-
dent of the Union Railway, that the
strike was settled.
Mr.. Wray was hard hit by the indus
trial depression and was forced to
withdrew from his business The
trolley men, hearing of this, passed
resolutions, of sympathy at their last
meeting, and also voted a days pay
from each man. The sum thus voted
will probably amount to something
like $5OO.-Allentown (Pa) Union Ga

ANY sAPHEADs HERE?
Wonder If Lincoln Working Girls Suf-
fer Same Annoyance.


OF course the working girls of Lin
coin are not bothered by 'saphead'
students, therefore they do not find it
necessary to follow the example of
their sisters in Champaign Ills. In
Champaign the working girls were
constantly annoyed by the sapheaded
students of the State University who
thought their attentions would be well
coined by any member of the female
sex, so the girls had the following no
tice published in the city papers,:
students, attention: Girls who are
working and who are fairly good look
ing can scarcely walk on the streets
of Champaign without some ignorant
saphead of student butting in and
bothering them with their attentions.
Now, it would be advisable for all
whom this concerns to sit up and take
notice.
We say the Lincoln girls do not find
it necessary, basing our, finding on the
fact that they have made no public
protest. 1t may be that they like it
or, as we prefer to believe, there are
no "sapheaded students attending the
Nebraska State University. Whatever
the reason may be, there has been nc

PLAYED 4 JOKE
 UPON HIMSELF
The Absent Mindedness of a Citi-
 zen Causes Him Much Trouble.

Several friends of Niels Petersen got a good joke on him Saturday afternoon, and MT. Petersen grace fully bought. He came to town in the afternoon and hitched his horse where he has tied 1t for years, at the Farmers and Merchants bank corner. Seeing a man who he wished to see on a matter of business he got back into the rig and drove as far down the street as the Blinn lumber yard, where he tied the ami nal, and completing his business walked back up town. A couple of hours later, when ready to go home he discovered that his horse was missing from the bank corner, where he felt certain he had left it. He spoke of the matter to several friends and a search was promptly made. It looked certain as if some one had boldly stolen the outfit in broad day light. The sheriffs office was noti- fled by phone and men were start ed out in all directions. MT. Petersen and Bud Cummings drove as far east as the creamery, but found no rig. Coming back to town, some one spoke of seeing a rig town the street that answered the description, and it then suddenly dawned upon Mir. Peter sen that he had become the victim of his own absent mindedness He bought cigars and soda water for the crowd, and getting the rig drove hOmeward.
