HISTORY OF TREG0 COUNTY
By Joshua Croft

The crop OF 1879 was nearly a total
failure and many of the settlers be-
coming discouraged left the county TO
seek more congeniaI home The
year 1880 proved even more disas-
trous to the crop than 1879 and the
faith of many of the settlers who had
remained was utterly destroyed The
exodus continued until the population
dwind1ed down to 1900 out of a popu-
lation of $500. The condition in the
year 1881 was but little changed ex-
cepting that settlers recognized that
stock raising constituted their only
safe course. The flow of emigration
from the county was almost checked.
An occasional newcomer arrived and
wealth increased rapidly. This state
of affairs continued until the incep-
ton of the last boom. It would have
been very hard for the settlers to have
made q living in those years If it had
not been for the buffalo bone trade
A person could go out on the prai-
RE and stand on an eminence and
could count the b1eached bones of the
carcases of as high as 100 dead
buffalo. At one time there were piled
UP along the railroad track south Oh
the depot in WaKeeney as many as q
| hundred tons of these dry bones
Many car loads Of them were shipped

EVEN AMERICAN
 MONEY IS DIRTY Cuba Suffering From Filthy Currency, Which Is Said to
 Spread Disease
By Associated rres.

Havana, November 1.--Americans in Cuba have joined Cuban bankers and business men in making fresh complaint of the wornout money in circulation here Except silver. the only currency in use is American It has been changing hands so often that it is tattered almost beyond the point of recognition, and health experts have declared that much of it is a public menace.
 Bills that once were green now are brown and yellow. The edges are frayed and the best small bills obtainable even from banks is so frightfully filthy that If found in the states would be quickly called in and destroyed.
 While the money in Havana is dis reputable, it is fine compared with much in general circulation in the provinces. Physicians have protested on the ground that it spreads skin diseases, and they have advised patients to demand silver, even if truck is needed to cart it around
 The story is told here of travelling man from Georgia, who on recent trip to the island brought 1,000 new one-dollar bills, which he sold to the natives. at S2 each. Many natives, however. refused to accept them on the ground that they were counterfeit. In some shops in Havana new American money is looked on with suspicion, and not infrequently large, new bills are taken first to a bank to find if they are genuine.

EGYPTIAN WOMEN ACTIVE.
Taking Keen Interest In Proper Edu-
 cation of Their Daughters
By Associated Press

London, October 30.-Egyptian wom en are at last beginning to take inter est in public affairs, particularly in the schools. viscount Milner, in his report as high commissioner of Egypt, says that no change which has taken place in that country in the last few years is more striking than the awakening interest of. women in af- fairs outside of the home.
 The commissioner added that few years ago it was rare to find mother showing a direct personal interest in the welfare of her daughter at school. All this was left to the father who of- ten had to overcome the mothers op- position to the education of her daugh- ter. During the last few years these conditions have changed in the larger towns, where mothers now visit the schools and discuss their daughters progress with the head teacher" said the report.
 This change is attributed by the high commissioner largely to education and he predicts that it's influence will be potent on the future progress of edu- development in Egypt

VIENNA STOCKS BOOM
But Tt Doesn't Mean Anything With
 Cheap Kronen
By Associated Press

Vienna, October 29.-One of the finan- cial paradoXes of central Europe has been boom this autumn on the Vienna stock exchange. Speculation has been on tremendous scale and stock prices have risen by leaps and bounds. Advances of several hundred points in a single stock occurred in one days trading. Lucky spectators made millions of kronen from a shoe string investment.
 But Austrians all speak of this boom as the misery boom for it's basis is the unfavorable state of the kronen ex- measure of the depressed economic state of the country.
 The misery boom'' on the stock ex- change was accompanied by conditions of destitution in the city and country which are unprecedented at that season of the year.
 It is hard even for the people of Vienna to realize their plight and to picture what the winter has in store for them. The American visitor, particularly if he IS armed with dollars, finds an air of sur face prosperity about the city. But those wh look beyond the merely su- perficial learned that the misery boom- on the stock exchange was merely a gay trapping behind which stalked a gaunt skeleton
 The boom is an economic phenomenon
  plains much of the paradoxical condition that exists throughout the swar-worn countries of Europe. An Austrian finan- cial authority, the correspondent of the London Financial News, explained it by saying that the sole factor in it was the exchange rate of the kronen. When hope was abandoned that the depreciated krone would ever reach it's former stand ard of value, the argument was ad- vanced that the value of the properties listed on the stock exchange had not de- creased and that in the future they would pay the same dividends as in peace times Therefore, it was argued that their stocks must be worth today as much as they were before the war. Continuing, the correspondent said:
 "The stock exchange is no longer barometer which indicates fair when the condition is favorable and industrial life is prosperous. Today the situation is re- versed Stock prices rise when the weather is foul, when the krone drops. when it becomes evident that foreign countries will not as5i6t us and prop up our exchange by granting us credits.
 If anywhere on the foreign horizon serious hope should appear, slump on the Vienna stock exchange would be inevitable Even rise in the krone Of 5 centimes would entail . violent fall iE stock prices"
