ey market is the pressing demand for
new capital. 1t is often asserted that
the national extravaganza of the last
few years has materially lessened the
sums available for new investments.
This is probably true, but it should be
remembered that general business has
been very profitable, dividends have
been well sustained, or increased, and
the growth of industry has materially
increased the national income and
havings. So that it is doubtful if there
is any real scarcity in the supply Of
capital, and it is chiefly the insistence
of new demands which enables its
owner to command such high rates.
Aside from the pressure present
and prospective of new issues and the
temporary slackening of trade, there
is nothing to depress the stock mar
ket. While the tariff may impose some
restraint and unsettlement to certain
lines of industry, it's effect has been
pretty thoroughly discounted in the
stock market. Imports will be temper
arily checked, to be followed with
rush when the new rates are settled.
General trade is less active, but the
slowing down is not greater than
might be expected or even desired af-
ter the present high rate of activity.
Our foreign trade is also declining.
March exports were $4,000, 900 below
last year, chiefly owing to the fall in
cotton shipments. Imports were ST.
000, 900 below last year. Bank clearings
and railroad earnings are also making
less favorable comparisons. The most
encouraging feature at this time is
the crop outlook. The condition of win
ter wheat is already known to be ex-
cellent and much ahead of year ago.
Conditions of soil, rainfall, etc, are
also exceedingly satisfactory through
out almost the entire country. Should
the country be favored with another
season of large crops, it will more than
offset all the present disadvantages.
The political situation at the moment
seems to be taking on less disturbing
features. The new administration,
while inevitably exposed to criticism,
is upon the whole making commenda-
BILE progress. The tariff contest is sure
to be a hot one from the very nature
of the controversy, but the country is
already convinced that many of the
protests as to the injury of revision
are much exaggerated. The future of
the market depends very largely upon
the course of money, and this in turn
depends chiefly upon the pressure for
new capital, and much discretion will
have to be exercised in the placing of
these demands upon the market. Eas
Ter rates would probably mean a more
active and higher stock market. Con
tinued high rates might mean further
depression, but it should not be over
looked that there is an immense re-
serve of free capital in Europe which
at a price will surely seek employ
ment in American enterprises with in
creasing freedom.

BIRD DOG FEATURES
IN DETECTIVE WORK

Attorney F. T. Strayer with the aid
of valuable bird dog, "Brunda," own
ed by Tom Butler, has aided the police
in the search for Mrs. Ida Miller's
stolen money. Mrs. Miller lives at
315 North A street where she runs a
boarding and rooming house. The
police were unable to find a clew and
Strayer was employed to locate the
thief. "Brunda" took up the scent Fri
day and led Strayer to the home of a
man who formerly roomed at the
boarding house conducted by Mrs.
Miller, and who left the day of the
robbery. An arrest has not been
made, as yet, though II is expected
that the money will be returned with
in a few days to its lawful owner.
The sum of SAC was taken.

Topeka, Aug. 1.-THE Kansas

Letters from half dozen county
clerks were received today telling OF
conditions in their counties. The
reports summarized are:
Rawlins--Has enough wheat for
seed and bread and some to sell.
Not much corn. Plenty of rough
ness for stock feed. Alfalfa good
and a large yield Of seed in pros

Ellsworth - Considerable seed
wheat raised, and probably will not
want any hauled In free.
Gove-Want from 400 to 500

HAVE BLACKBIRDS
AERIAL HIGHWAYS?

Salina Journal: Do blackbirds
have a certain trail through the air
something like the Golden Belt or
Meridian roads are to automobiles,
for instance?
The blackbirds have begun their
flight toward the southwest. AT
evenings now for month or more
great flocks of birds will be seen go
ing in a southwesterly direction.
Thousands of birds appear in single
flocks and their noise at times
browns out ordinary conversation.
One man who has kept count says
that for five years past the birds
have followed the exact route.
There are two or three routes over
Salina but this particular one begins
on the east side and ends west OF
the Wesleyan college.
This man says that for five years,
or since he has lived where he does
now, the birds have taken exactly
the same trail. They cross che
Smoky river first at point con-
sidedrably east of the Ohio street
bridge. They cross Ohio street just
north of Iron avenue and pass over
the exact same residences on Gyp-
sum avenue every year. They cross
the river again 200 feet eat of the
Kenwood park, emerging west of
the Center street entrance. They
fly Just east of the league park and
on across the Wesleyan addition.
This man says the birds don't vary
100 feet from their route and they
take the exact same route yearly.
He wonders how they mark it.

by some individual Japanese resi-

he had great faith in the reason
ableness of the judgment of the

the two countries "soon would be

house officials also were pleased,
1t was learned that the presi-
dent has not yet yet formally con-
sidered recognition of the belliger-

that in SO far as territory alone Is
concerned he regarded that held by
the Constitutionalists as strong
enough in proportion to that con-
trolled by the Huerta government
to make recognition of the Consti-
tutionalists not wholly untustifia-
BILE from a diplomatic standpoint.
President Wilson let 1t be known
today that he was inclined to be-

from sources unknown
to him-to bring on war between
the United States and Mexico. The
president does not regard the move

MORE TROUBLE MADE FOR

1850 Mr.. NottOrfs parents

settled on a farm south of town.
BY the end of the summer the
Smoky Hill river was completely dry.
No rain fell for months, and the
heat was terrific. No crops we're
raised at all, and the provisions re-
ouired by the few settlers then in
the county had to be hauled by wa
gon from Fort Leavenworth. some
families had no flour for three years
and lived chiefly on wild meat
A large spring on the Nottorf
farm furnished water. One day Mr..
Nottorf, then small boy, was sent
to the spring after water. A large
buffalo bull was drinking-driven
in from the plains by thirst. The
bull regarded the child a minute,
took another drink, and walked
away. He was later killed by Jack
Markley.
