West Needs Ne Government Aid
to Move Crops.
McAdOo's Offer of Funds De-
clined by Bankers.
DISTRICTS ARE FULL OF MONEY
Cash Plentiful and Easy, Re-
serve Agents Report.
Demand Not Likely to Exceed
Local Resources.

| Washington, Sept. 17.-Government
money probably will not be needed to
aid in the annual fall crop movement
| in the territory from the Mississippi
river to the Rocky mountains north
of Texas, according to advices re-
ceived by Secretary McAdoo from the
federal reserve agents of the Mime
apolis and Kansas City federal reserve
banks.
Offers OF the secretary to deposit
government funds in these banks, in
line with the policy which led to de-
posts of SIS, 100000 in those of Rich
mond. Atlanta and Dallas, were de-
clined for the present at least, and
the agents reported money plentiful
and easy. A similar offer made to the
ST. Louis bank had not been answered
today
Asa e. Ramsay of the Kansas City
bank said in part:
Plenty of Money in Midwest.
Beg to advise you that I do not
anticipate We Will need the assistance
of government funds this season. Our
district has been full of money, so to
speak. While the general demand is
increasing now, I do not think it will
reach the point where we will be un-
able to handle it with our own re-
quest deposit of government funds in
case the necessity arises.
John H. Rich, reserve agent of the
Minneapolis bank, wrote to Mr.. Nc
AdoO as follows:
II am very appreciative of yCur Of
fer of the 9th instant, TO place on de-
post in this bank funds of the gov
eminent to be used N assisting in the
moving and marketing of the north
west crops.
Northwest Amply Supplied.
cat this time the northwest is am
ply supplied with funds and rates for
money are very low. This bank has
ample resources to meet the current
demands upon it and still provide a
very considerable reserve against any
emergency that may arise before the
crop has reached its markets.
should a period of heavy demand
come upon Us, affording an opportun-
ity effectively to employ government
funds, 1 shall be glad to take advan-
tage of your kind offer and therefore
would suggest that this subject be held
open for determination at a later date
and in accordance with such situation

Summer garden owners alone, they
have figured out. will deposit $25O,OO0

caught up with Jack the Grabber"
in front Of the Krasge store.
Still Pursued the Villain.
Bugs again played a part in the ac-
ton here. Just as he caught up with
the robber, Bussey hit him in the back
of the neck, both OF them slipped on
the buggy sidewalk, the Eighwayman
going on his face and Bussey falling
to his knees. The pursued man re-
covered first and ran on UP the street,
wading through a crowd of about
thirty brave and bold citizens of To-
peka on the corner of Seventh and
Kansas avenue. He turned west on
Seventh, going like dOuble-geared
streak of lightning, and ducked into
the alley. The crowd, which had
caught on to what was happening, fol-
lowed as far as the mouth of the al
ley. 1t was dark up there.
And then the chase was over. The
policeman ha0 run around On Jack
son street to bottle the man in the al
ley, but on feet winged with fear the
man had made his escape. Some one
saw aim &C into the alley beside the
Grand theater and turn south. But
the only thing any one knew for sure
was that he was gone.

COTTON MEN PLAN
 STRONG SOCIETY
s. c. Alexander Declines Re election to Presidency,
 and Election Deferred.

Little Rock, May 1.-The cotton
 men of the state wound up their sec-
 ond annual convention yesterday aft
 ernoon at the Elks' club, President s. c. Alexander of Pine Bluff presiding, and it was manifest to all that the
 cotton operators of Arkansas are de-
 termined to build state organiza- ton into one as important and as successful as that of Oklahoma or
 Texas. It was determined hereafter
 to vigorously enforce the trade rules
 and to require those in the business to conform to the ordinary rules in the interest of farmers, merchants and
 bankers alike. The terms of office of both Presi dent Alexander and Secretary A. B. White expired at yesterdays meeting, and the former declined reelection, having served two terms. As MT. White is now assistant manager ol the LLesser-G Goldman Cotton company,
 as we'll as chairman of the Board of trade cotton committee, he declined
 reelection also.
 President Alexander appointed John
 Mentereth, A. E. White and J. R, Tay-> Tor a committee to present the names for the new board of directors to be
 elected and their report recommended
 Sam G. billiard, Ad Hamberg, s. c. West, l.. P. Barkdull of Fort Smith,
 Thomas Hutson of Newport, o. o.
 scroggin and w. T. Allison, and they
 were unanimously elected. Only four
 of the new board being present they decided to postpone the election of officers to a date to be named later. After a vote of thanks to the retiring officers the association adjourned. Col. s. c. Alexander of Pine Bluff, | the retiring president, is one of the best known cotton operators and Dank- CTS of Arkansas, being the executive l of the Merchants & Planters bank of l Pine Bluff, one of the states pioneer | financial institutions. The bank has
 never had but three presidents, the other two the late V. D. Wilkins and 1 the late Col H. H. Hum. In retiring Colonel Alexander predicted great
 success for the association, urging the
 members to cooperate and stand by
 each other. +-es a.ssx
 | Colonel Alexander is Virginian,
 having moved to Texas in 1883, and l locating at Camden, Ark, in 1884, and from there in later years to Pine
 Bluff. He is leader in the banking
 and commercial affairs of Arkansas.
 He reports a great improvement in business at Pine Bluff and states that
 the Pine Bluff Clearing House asso-
 citation will next month be reorgan- l ized and take more active part in
 placing it's business before the scoun- | try.

 z. USE MAGNESIA

The almost universal use of mag nesia by physicians and specialists in the treatment of stomach trou- bles, is due to the fact that it stops food fermentation and neutralizes the acid-the direct cause of nearly all stomach troubles. Of the many forms of magnesia such as oxides, cit rates, carbonates, sulphates, etc., the most suitable and efficient, and the
 one prescribed by leading special
 ists is bisurated magnesia, a. tea spoonful of which in a little warm water immediately after eating will instantly neutralize the acid, stop fermentation, and thus ensure pain less normal digestion Care should
 be taken to get bisurated magnesla, as it's action is infinitely more effec- tive. 1t is also, by the way, usually stocked by druggists in convenient compressed tablets |as we'll as in the ordinary powder form. Stomach suf- ferers and dyspeptics who follow this plan and avoid the use of pepsin, charcoal, soda minths, drugs and medicines are invariably astonished to find that the stomach, relieved of the irritating acid and gas, soon re- gains it's normal tone, and can do it's work alone without the doubtful aid of artificial digestants.
