HILL TALKS OF WALL Street
Saws While Those People Are
Blue. There Is No Good
Cause For 1t

l. J. Hill is probably the most quoted
man in the country, and this may be
rartly because he is a comfortable al
well as profitable prophet. The Other
day in the East he said:
What is the matter with Wall Street
anyway? Are they going crazy there
Every one is as blue as indigo, and halt
the people do not know what they are
blue about. All that people have to dc
in times like these is keep clear head
and avoid getting ratified; then every
thing will come out all right.
Take it from me that the man who
sells the United States "short" is going
10 suffer for it like the mischief. He
will take his medicine, and it will not
be sweet, either.
Yet, know money is hard TO get. |

the railroads were experiencing in Oh
tanning loans at q time when money
rates were apparently easy. Selling
short term note issues is apt to occasion
inconvenience when the notes happen
to mature In disagreeable money mar.

done the best they could do in q situa.
tion where il has been difficult TO sell
bonds, even in cases where the borrow
ing road has had the security TO offer.
The money market is a good deal OF
a problem, bat it will work out all right.

late are troublesome, bat they are in.

~
For the second time within the
last two weeks Arthur ]. Carruth
Jr clerk and publicity agent TOT
senator Joe Howe, has spread abroad
N the Topeka Journal his little
story concerning Joe's dive in real
and personal property when he
landed In Abilene a few years ago.
Before Il is time to print this story
again few suggestions may not be
out OF order. That Joe bought the
print shop and paper known as the
Dickinson County News seems to
be a matter of record. 1t must be
a mistake, however, that Joe bought
the Strother furniture for among
the archives at the Union Pacific
we find that this furniture was bill
ed to Galena, Kansas, and there 1t
was that the strothers took up their
abode--not in the sunny CLINE OF
California. The dog mentioned as
transferred to the Howe estate was
in reality taken to Galena where It
succumbed to evil influences and
was buried near the Missouri line.
AS for the cow-the strothers
used condensed milk exclusively ana
never had a COW during all their
residence in this dity. We have
not been able to get any trace OF
the two cats mentioned in the story
but since Joe has been living SIM
gle and lonely life 1t Is quite prob
able that he followed after others In
the same circumstances and adopted
the cats into his family. Concern
ing the last statement In the story
in which Mr.. Howe is credited with
having successfully eluded all the
ladies up to the present writing we
have our very grave doubts but DO
not care to speak authoritively. We
would suggest, however, that Mr..
Carruth look into the matter De-
fore next week 0uICIOH Va |nO $40
otherwise the story is quite correct
We mention these items for the pur-
pose of keeping straight the history
of the case.
Governor Hodges in his inaugural
address served notice on the legis-
lature that no new legislation was
needed for the regulation OF the
railroads after which his Democratic
friends rushed forward with "57
