Treasury Department.

The Treasury Department late this al.
ernoon began the opening of over 2.Uol
bids for the $4,000 issue Of Panama
canal > per cent bonds, to be sold by
the government. Financiers everywhere
are interested in the price the bonds will
bring. inasmuch as the securities are not
available for national bank circulation
and are wholly for investment purposes
The bonds have been selling on the New
York curb for future delivery at Ius, and
the opinion Of Treasury officials is that
the bulk of the issue will be sold around
that figure The securities of most for
eign nations are selling below par and
the price at which these latest bonds of
Uncle Sam will sell reflects the credit of
this country. as compared with foreign
countries. A number OF big syndie ates
are among the bidders for the bonds.
big force of clerks will be at work
tonight and Sunday getting the bids in

Near-Inquiry of Another Sort.
A Flyless City.
From the Philadelphia Press.


Some cities when embarked in hygienic
reform show An energy and a thOroughness
which other cities would do we'll to emu
late. 1t brings success, too, so long as the
wave of energy lasts. San Francisco
made itself for time a ratless city and
stopped the pagation there Of the bu-
bonic plague. New Orleans suppressed
it's mosquitoes by the same energetic
thoroughness and thereby banished yell
low fever and made New Orleans one of
the healthiest of cities From Texas the
report comes that Hubbard City has ban
ished the fly. That is the greatest tri-
umph yet recorded Hubbard is a small
city. but large enough to have a mayor.
and he believes that flies have no place
in properly regulated city government.
They have been warred against by the
simple weapon of perfect cleanliness. The
streets of Hubbard are swept twice a
week. No manure. filth. garbage or scraps
are allowed to remain within the city
where flies can reach them. With nothing
to eat and no place to breed. the flies
naturally died out. and the diseases
which flies convey are not communicated
and multiplied within the limits of Hub
bard City, Tex.

by it.

pen to have almost unlimited money, for
it will cost several thousand dollars even

Harmon's article will be interesting and
instructive to everybody. Look for 1t to-
