cally every denomination that has

having been represented at the
different services which were
held while the conference was in
session. The main object of the
conference was to awaken local
interest in the movement to
spread the gospel by sending
missionaries to all parts Of the
globe to carry a divine message
to unenlightened heathens and
convert them to to the cause of
Christianity. In this the most
sanguine hopes of the promoters
were realized, as the good people
of Columbus entered with en-
thusiasm into the spirit of the
meeting, and promised to do ev-
erything in their power to aid the
good work.
The conference convened at
1880 O'Clock Tuesday evening,
the inaugural address having
been delivered by Rev, CD. Mot.

President Wilson is going to be
forced TO give thought to the
proposition that the financial
kings are intent upon loading
down railroads of the country
with bond issues the like Of which
never before has been proposed.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has been asking for au-
thority to regulate the issue of
stocks and bonds. but thus far
congress has ignored that body.
The announcement that the
Pennsylvania is contemplating
and issue of 81 900, 100000 worth
Of bonds followed closely on the
heels of j. P. Morgan & Co.'s
scheme for placing a mortgage,
open at both ends, to run for
nearly a century upon the New
York Central and its subsidiaries,
and the Lake Shore and its sub
salaries.
While the Pennsylvania issue
is supposed to be limited to one
billion, there is no limit upon the
blanket Morgan proposes placing
on the so-called Vanderbilt roads
which he wants to consolidate in
name as we'll as in fact.

The fnanciers are preparing the
properties they control for turn
ing them over to theUnitedStates
government in answer to the de-
mand for government ownership
of transportation lines. They
will not fight the transfer, al
though it may be years before
congress enacts the legislation.
They, however, are taking time
by the forelock. Postmaster-ge
eral Burleson is going to advo-
cate government owership of at
least the telegraphs and tele-
phones, if not railroads, in his
forthcoming annual report. That
is going to give the movement
for government ownership a vio-
lent impetus, they believe.
They are willing to surrender
their property to the government
but they intend to make the
prices SO high that they will be
well repaid for all their work.
Bonds are supposed to represent
cash actually put into the prop
perty. There was time when
that was true, but that was long
ago. Bonds have much better
name than stocks, among inves-
tors of not too wide information.
1t is figured that the public will
be willing to accept a proposition
that the price be the sum of the
bonds plus whatever stock has
been paying dividend Of sum

BUILDING lREOEcORATEO
Work is Artistic. and Adds Ma
terially to Attfactiveness Of
the Place.

The work of rederorating the
interior of the local federal
building at the corner of Market
street and South Fourth avenue
has been completed, and a new
attractiveness has been added to
the already beautiful structure.
The walls throughout the
building have been freshly paint
ed, and the effect in the lobby
is especially beautiful. A deli
cate cream color has been used
in finishing these walls, and the
work has been faultlessly ex-
ecuted, the contract having been
awarded to a contractor from
Chattanooga who makes a
speciality of interior decorations
on public buildings, and employs
laborers who are not only skilled
but artistic.
The appropriation necessary
for the work was secured
through the efforts Of Hon. j. 7.
Wood, the efficient local post
master, whose long administra
tion has been a splendid one in
every respect, and patrons of
the office are complimenting him
upon the exceedingly attrac-
tive appearance which the build
ing presents.

and the big audience which heard
him was swept with cheers and
applause. The president synii-
ingly took his hearers into his
confidence when he explained he
must speak with moderation
and without indiscretion. "
A score of South American
Latin American diplomats sat
just behind the president while
he spoke and many of his re.
marks were addressed in CONVEX
sational tones to them. There
were those in the audience who
thought the president might
take advantage of the opporluni-
ty afforded by his speech here
to say something regarding the
Mexican crisis. Mr.. Wilson,
however, spoke only in general
terms. but many of his senten-

tributes this Utopian condition to the
fact that they tried to get rid Of tho

nance by leaving each other free.
Although they were married by n
Justice of the Peace. they agreed to
make love the sole basis of their union
and not to enforce the law in any way.
1t will be interesting to, watch the

Within one week have come stories
Of three or four strikes in places in
this neishborhood which have been
worked and prospected all around for
years. Some in the mad. feverish rush
went carelessly and needed not the
possibility that they were passing by
something just az good. Others went
to what they believed was bedrock and
were in too much haste to go further.
leaving It to others to begin where
they had left of and to find the real
cream. without a doubt there are
many such places still to be discovered.
All Of US have noticed that when u
rush takes place all are ambitious to
dig but that later they ease up in their
efforts when a few failures come to
dampen their ardor. This Is a positive
fact which IL apparent to everyone
who has followed many mining camps
and Ii often proven by the so-called
luck Of chechacoes who make q strike
before the hay seed has left their
towzled locks. Everyone starts out
fresh and ambitious and everyone who
does not meet with success in the first
few efforts is threatened with the
danger Of becoming careless and slow.
This is certainly fact in mining.

strength. No wonder "things are
tight" from Athe viewpoint Of those
who leave Alaska for more crowded
regions. Comparatively speaking
money il always tight where many
hands are streached out perpetually
to grasp a little of It. II In hardly
too much to say that when people
stampede into new countries they are
following the course Of least resis-
lance very often instead Of facing
boldly the harder fate involved In
earning a livelihood where Thousands
walk over each other in the strife for
a competency. There men come to be
satisfied in making a living; here they
are only satisfied with the prospect OF
a fortune.
