The crops are to be harvested and labo* cost paid. The grain and cattle are to be marketed. The western bankers and merchants who have funds or credits at rest with bankers in the financial I centers find that checks and drafts arc not suited to the purposes now in ques tion. The bank credit is all right poi se, but the form in which that credit is evidenced is not convenient. What they need l.or these uses is a form of -. credit instrument easily recognized by th« people, one convenient as to de nomination and one which will pass from hand to hand without being qucstioned. In short, their need is for paper money or hard cash. Now, sub ject to one limitation—that of safety tn the note holder, a qualification never to it Is impossible for anyone to name a good reason why the indebtedness of the banker in this lleld of the exchanges should not be ex pressed as freely in his notes of hand, of convenient size, as in one consol idated entry to the credit of his dealer upon his books of account. It is pre cisely at this point that ditliculties, em barrassment and loss are occasioned. What wouid lx* a natural, economical and effective operation is by the inhi bitions and restrictions of law now made impossible. In a state of free dom the extraordinary wants of the country at harvest time would be largely, if not wholly, met by the enn |sei'Mon of bank balances, not available for. these general purposes, into bank or paper money. These, per forming their function, would again re turn when their service was ended, to lie again transformed into "balances in bank," where, through the medium ot cheeks and drafts, the larger commer cial uses would be the better servd. Without making specific recommen dations the secretary commended tie subject to the thoughtful attention of congress. 11AKKETS BY VIRE lileaiEo I.lvpSlnrti. Chicago, 1 6.

Presentation of the Gavel to Hender .son Made Before Shaw Arrived at Washington, Whither He Went for Express Pur pose of Taking Part in Ceremony. Special to Times-Republican. lies Moines, Dec. 6.—Among Governor I Shaw's thousands of admirers and I Washington Tuesday. Congressman Dolliver presented the jeweled rosewood gavel to Speaker Henderson, in the presence of representatives from every state in the union, and Governor Shaw was excluded absolutely from participa tion in the ceremony. It was the inten tion of the originators of the gawl idea in the state that Governor Shaw should make the presentation .speech, and make it on the tloor of the house, in 1 op'-n session. With that purpose in band the governor started for Washing-, ton.: but before he could get there the Iowa congressional .delegation took the! matter in hand and carried it through in a hurry. The argunn nt was advanced that it would be hard to get all the ilel egation together again, and it was es sential that all the representatives should be on hand. In view' el' those facts, it was determini not to wait for Governor Shaw. A sp'-elai from the na tional capital explains that the Jowa statesmen debated long and earnestly before they, took this step. That may be true.

In this day and age a journey on rail ways for any considerable distance is not complete unless the line over which the trip is made provides the traveler with a means of procuring meals en route-. This fact has been recognized by many of 'the railroads of the country, and among tlic-m the Iowa Central Rail way Company, which has the distinc tion of being the lirst north and west bound line out of Peoria to inaugurate a dining car service on all its passenger trains in and out of that city. This service is under the supervision of tIk? company and the car is under personal direction of a dining car super intendent of many years' experience as a caterer, thus assuring the patrons of the road lirst-class service. The car is spacious, easy riding and is attended by courteous waiters, while the menu is as complete as will be iound in the large hotels of the country. The meals are served on the "a la carle" plan, or in other words, you pay Tor what you or der, and at rates as reasonable as those of any firsi*class cafe. The time of this service on trains in and out of Peoria is as follows: On train No. 4, arriving at I'eoria at lO-.-ID a. in. daily, breakfast is served from 7:05 a. m. to it io n. in., between Kcithsburg, 111., and Dondon Mills, i" on train No. r, north, and west boui. om Peoria, dinner is served from Monmouth, III., to Brighton, la., between tile hours of 10:20 a. in. and 1:18 p. m.
