The excessive heat of yesterday had an oflWr nnnn A. O. Wright, who went from this city to the state capi tf ooponf. si nosition in Gov ,Uk L lv v I Crounse'a office, of an extremely seri ous nature. The Lincoln Journal describes Mr. Wright's experience as follows: "Several persons were prostrated by the heat. Probably the most senou was the case of Alfred C- Wright clerk in the office of Governor Crounse Mr. Wright entered the office at 1:30 o'clock and it happened that he was to be alone during the afternoon. II hci 7nlbe1 from hia home at F and Fifteenth st.eets, a distance of fiv blocks, and on entering the office mad some remarks about feeling the heat The office is at the southeast corner of the central part of the capital, and was very warm, owing to the south wind. Mr. Wright, in talking to a re porter of the weather, called attention to the warmth of the big glass in the east window, and also to his straw hat, which had been exposed to the sun during his walk. Mr. Wright was then left alone and soon after another re porter entered the room and found him lying unconscious on the floor be side his desk. A thermometer near by registered 104 degrees. Colonel Bills and Adjutant Gage were called to his assistance. Deputy secretary of state r&Isoand Dr. Bartley was sum moned. "Those who came to the scene work ed vigorously in attempting to revive tfte prostrated man, but were unsuc cessful, and it was feared for a time that there was no hope. The patient vas removed to bis home and did not regain consciousness until 7 o'clock, when he was able to recognize Mrs. Wright. Last night his physician re ported that he was on a fairway to re cover." Hie Same Old Story. Almost every day the Omaha news papers cnronicie me expencutca ui some rural roostei who visits Omaha n search of a good time and comes to grief by being "touched" lor ins money and valuables while visiting the "tenderloin" district. In most cases instead of charging their losses up to "experience account" the jays visit the police headquarters and tell their troubles, with the result that the particulars of their escapade find their way into the newspapers. Or lando Burgess, of the moral little city of Weeping Water, is the latest victim to achieve notoriety in this line. j. his morning's Bee says: Father Time has been kind to i ar- mer Orlando Burgess, who resides just outside the corporate limits of the town of Weeping Water, and while Father Time has silvered the head of Farmer Burgess his step is just as elastic and he is as full of vigor as he was long years ago, notwithstanding the fact that he has passed the sixtieth mile stone in the race for the grave. CHAPTERS ON SILVER. The end of all industrial activity is trade and commerce, or an exchange of the products of industries. These products when put upon the market and made the subjects of commerce are called commodities. As money is the instrument with which these ex changes are affected, its value is its exchangeable relation to the com modity with which it is compared. It has no other value. Its value is wholly extrinsic and is expressed in the terms of the commodity for which it is ex changed. The word value, when predicated of commodities, is called price; when pre dicated of money it means the pur chasing power of money. The pur chasing power of money and the prices of commodities are determined by the law of supply and demand. The pur chasing power of money (that is, of the unit of money) decreases as its volume n use or circulation increases, and in- Bright and early Sunday morning I creases as its volume diminishes, and 5 .11 r i.-PLL 5 SAM GDTMAHK & CO, WHOLESALE and RETAIL DEALERS IN 5 A .Guarantee Goes Found The finest soda water in the city at Gering & Co's. The Merchant Wins. Laywer Jesse Root of this city journeyed to Lincoln the other day to appear for the defendant in the suit of Thomas Mitchell vsS. D. Mayer. Both of the litgiants formerly resided in this city. Mitchall sued for $125, which sum be represented as the amount he was damaged by reason of the selling of his account, due Mayer for clothing, to Iowa parties and on which he was afterwards garnisheed. Tire case was tried to a jury and Law ver iloot succeeded in securing a vir- dict for the merchant. It never fails Gering's Blackberry Cordial for summer complaint. Farmer Burgess was out among his flocks and herds, scattering the grass and grain to the hungry animals, after which he ate a picked up breakfast and slid into bis best suit of clothes and hustled over to the depot, joining the excursion that came to this city. After reaching here the farmer went out to Courtland beach, down to the park and over Elmwood, being deter mined to see all the sights. These numerous and extended trips caused Farmer Burgess to miss his train and it was a case where he would have to stay in the eity overnight, or else walk home. Debating the question in his mind he concluded that the walking was bad, besides, in fact, he wanted to stay over night, and look at a real city as it appeared under the glare of gas and electric lights. "As darkness came on Farmer Bur sas conceived the idea that he was young again and that it would be the proper thing to do a little slumming, just for the fun of the thing. While these thoughts of drinking and ca rousing welled up through his mind, he failed to look over the pages of the past, ltight then and there he deter mined that he would put in a night of it, for he was sure that the Weeping Waterites would never know anything of his escapades. "Sneaking down a back alley. Far mer Burgess was soon within the black belt of the tenderloin district, and while everything was strange to him t was apparent that he was to have a warm welcome. Lvery lew steps ue was accosted by some colored female, and invariably he was given a cordial invitation to enter the houses and partake of the hospitalities. The far mer from Weeping Water at last formed the opinion that these persons were extending special privileges, and according entered a dive presided over by one Mattie Johnson. Mattie was kindness itself and urged the old man to stay and rest, an invitation which, with a smile, he readily accepted. Finally and at last Mr. Burgess sug gested that on account of being from the hay field he was tired and would like to retire for the night. Sleep closed the eyes of the granger. During the night he awoke and hap pened to think that there was $35 in his trousers pocket. Hopping from the bed he secured this roll, and stuffiing it into the toe of one of his shoes, he placed the brogan upon a table at the head of the bed. The next time that Mr. Burgess opened his eyes the sun was high in the heavens and his dark charmer was gone. Jumping from his couch he reached for the shoe which had contained the money, pinced the toe, to find nothing but emptiness. Without stopping to make an elaborate toilet he rushed to the station, where he laid his case before the detectives. A warrant for the arrest of the woman was issued and an officer sent to her residence, there to be informed that during the night she had gone to Council Bluffs and would not return for many days. This information this without any regard whatever to the material of which money is made. The decrease in the purchasing power of money is manifested by a raise in the price of commodities and other forms of property, including labor. While this process is going on money in idleness is diminished in value and eagerly seeks employment in produc tive industries to share with labor the profits realized from such employment, and this period is always distinguished as an era of general prosperity. On the other hand, an increase in the pur chasing power of money is manifested by a fall in the prices of commodities and other forms of property, including labor. During this process idle money is constantly increasing in value, and this alluring temptation to idleness cannot be overcome, but is rather intensified by the cries of distress arising from a general prostration of industry. Money is selfish and quick to discover its real interests. It can neither be moved by expostulation nor cajoled by flattery. Fattening in repose it' will hibernate ia bank vaults or venture into invest ments at a low interest when the se curities are ample, but it will not en gage in productive industries while prices are falling. During this period of falling prices the conduct of the servant who should dig in the earth and hide his lord's money should be commended rather than condemned, for nothing could be gained from the use of it, and when called upon he could easily return the principal sum with the largely increased value it ac quired while in retirement. Falling prices cause a constant shrinkage of profits, and as every dol lar paid for wages is a dollar taken from profits the resulting loss must be borne by labor or capital or both, and the insistance of capital for its accus tomed dividends and of labor for its accustomed wages engenders a war be tween forces whose friendly co-operation is indispensable to the continu ance of production. This is the cause of the social disorders we are now wit nessing, the realities of which bafflle description, and which, though they may be mitigated, will not be wholly averted until this cause is removed. The recuperative energies of our country will enable it to endure the pro cess of recovering from unusual or ar tificial increase of its money stock by a reduction of this stock to its normal quantity if the corrective is adminis tered with a proper regard for our in dustries, but it cannot withstand the convulsion that must ensue if, in addition to the administer ing of this corrective the pro cess of reducing the money stock that is, the money of ultimate pay ment to far below its normal quantity is at the same time going on.
