And now there is trouble at Superior,
Wis. Only a few weeks ago Rev. C. S.
Starkweather, an Episcopal clergyman,
was elected mayor of that city, and
much in the way of reform was quite
naturally expected of him. But now it
Is claimed that the mayor has granted
the saloon keepers and gamblers cer
tain concessions that are not in accord
with the views of people who do
not even claim to be reformers. A
fall investigation Is to follow.-
In England an oak sprang up and
grew through the hole of a millstone
It filled the opening and lifted it with
Its growth. The question was, will tht
stone kill the tree, or will the tree
burst the stone? Finally, with a noise
like that of a gun, the stone was shat
tered and some of the pieces were
thrown outward many feet. An acorn
is more than a match for a millstone,
and a mustard seed can move a moun
tain. Faith is a vital force. "This is
the victory that overcometh the world,

Public cycles propelled by two men
and capable of accommodating two
passengers are reported to be travers
ing the streets of London. Should this
mode of getting about become wide
spread and popular, the question arises,
What will the poor passenger do in
case of an overcharge? He usually has
some difficulty in getting off with both
purse and life when toted about by one
man and a horse; he will doubtless
walk rather than cope with two men.
Governor Matthews of Indiana Is
having a hard fight with the gamblers
who run the race track at Roby. They
have for the time being beaten him in
his efforts to close the track by securing
an injunction, but he declares that he
will have all the pool sellers arrested
for gambling. Matthews is a hard
fighter and he will win In the end. The
Roby race track, which Is near the Illi
nois line, has been an eye-sore to In
diana for some time and until recently
the governor has made the pace hot for
them, but the owners of the track have
secured an injunction from a judge, and
acting upon this will seek to carry on
their unlawful business. There is no
doubt that Governor Matthews has the
sentiment of the state with him, and
he will never let go until he has fought
the Roby gamblers to a finish.
The postmaster of Radford, a little
town in Virginia, complains that "hi3
money order trade has been busted"
by a man who has opened a "Bee Hive"
store in town, and advertises liberal
ly. People who formerly bought money
orders to send to the Philadelphia and
New York department stores now pat
ronize the home store. If the owners
of small stores in Illinois will be as
enterprising In the way of advertising
as is the "Bee Hive" man of Radford,
they will not need legislative enact
ments to enable them to keep in busi
ness. Of course, the big stores have
many advantages, but the greatest ad
vantage they have is the possession of
sufficient nerve to advertise liberally
and sufficient hustle to keep pace with
their ads. A little hustle and the lib
eral use of printers' ink in the country
districts will enable the country and
small town merchant to hold his own
against all comers.

Fighting for Sand II Ills.
Edward Abel and Joseph L. Fletcher

of an affidavit made before United
States Commissioner Robert J. Gra

which is dated from township 29, ranga
38, sections 1 and 2, Cherry county, Ne

"I, Edward Abel, made a homestead

Raising Fund for Advertising Purposes
The adjournmed meeting of the ex
ecutive committee of the Atlanta Cot
ton exposition delegation convened at
Lincoln in the rooms of the Board of
Transportation. The governor met
with' them. He had suggested that
circulars be sent to each of the ninety
counties in the state, soliciting contri
butions from S100 up to aid in prepar
ing a Nebraska exhibit at the exposi
tion. The plan was adopted by the
committee and the circulars will be dis
patched at once. It is likely that
Douglas county will be asked for 51,000
and Lancaster for S500. The commit
tee then adjourned to meet at the call
it President Heaton.
Trouble In a Family
B.F.Warner, a resident ' of Blair,
was found about daylight Sunday
morning not far from his home with
his throat cut from ear to ear. He had
some trouble with his family Saturday
evening and left the house with the re
mark that they would not see him
again. Further than this the cause of
his action is not known. When War
ner was found he was lying on his face
with a large razor in one hand, and the
cutting had been done evidently while
he was yet standing.
Tho rrr-in T-'i innnoct. fnn tVin.1 Vi
had come to his death from his own '
hand.
Mr. Warner was an old soldier, be
longed to the Knights of Pythias and
Modern Woodmen lodges and was also
a member of the Blair volunteer fire
department. He was buried in the
Blair cemetery and the various socie
ties turned out in a body.
Later Mrs. Warner died of grief
Tuesday morning. The whole affair is
a sad one.
Horse Stealing at Pierre.
A horse, buggy, saddle and harnest
were stolen from Robert Lucas of Fos
ter precinct, Pierce county. Mr. Lucas
went to Pierce with the information
and .sheriff Littell immediately left on
the train for Norfolk to see if any trace
of the thief could be found there. One
of the axles of the buggy had been
sprung and one of the wheels ran
irregularlj, so that Mr. Lucas easily
tracked the thief from his place to
Pierce. The thief was tracked from
Pierce to Hadar, where the tracks were
lost.
Cleared of All Charges.
Mrs. Sara E. Mitcaell, formerly mat
ron of the Winnebago Indian school at

ed to her again, but she has declined to
accept it
Miss Alice Haines, who has been
principal teacher of the Winnebago
school, has left the school. It is al
leged that she was the cause of the dis
charge of Mrs. Mitchell.
Fine Mill Washed A waj.

School Lands for a Song.
There have been a number of deeds
for school lands, and the commissioner
of public lands and buildings an
nounces that a great many more are
liable to be held up pending an investi
gation. Under the law, when school
lands are to be sold, they are appraised
and there is no sale if the appraised
value is not bid. For many counties
the records of the office show that these
school land appraisements were uni
formly very low. In some cases it is
said that the purchaser,' after bidding
them in at $8 or $9, has sold the same
land in a short time after getting hi
deed for 25 and 330.
I
ft BUSINESS FLOOD IS ON.
SO REPORTS R. G. DUN & CO.'S
WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE. .
LARGE VOLUME OF TRADE.
Exaggerated Fears of Crops Have Passed,
the Syndicate Folly Able to Protect
the Treasury, and Marketing of
New Crops Expected to Tarn
a National Balance If Spec
ulation Does Not Hinder.
New Yokk, July 15. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
A business flood so strong and rapid
that conservatives fear it may do harm
is out of season in July. But the sea
sons this year lap over and crowd
each other. May frosts and frights,
it is now evident, kept back much bus
iness that would naturally have been
finished before midsummer, and the
delayed accumulation of one season
gets in the way of efforts to begin an
other on time. But the volume of bus
iness, however, it may be assured, is
remarkably large for the month even
in a good year. The exaggerated fears
about crops have passed, the syndicate
is believed both able and determined
to protect the treasury, and the time
draws near when the marketing of
new crops will turn into a national
balance if speculation does not hinder.
The week has been notable for a sen
sational fall in wheat of 8c in two
days, followed by recovery of 5c,
though neither accords any interpre
tation of the quite disregarded gov
ernment report. The sudden drop in
prices was the result of speculative
rather than commercial influences.
Labor controversies in woolen mills
have generally resulted against the
workers, although some advance in
wages has been obtained, but a strike
of carpet weavers at Philaaelphia
already affects several thousand and
threatens to include many more, an
advance of 7 cents being demanded,
while the market for goods is so dull
and weak that manufacturers natur
ally refused. Cotton goods continue
active and strong with comparatively
little difficulty as to labor. The North
ern mills have taken little over 100,000
bales in the past three months, since
cotton was below 7 cents, but with
cotton bought cheap for five months
ahead, they are able to do good
business.
The failures this week have been
253, against 247 last year.
NEBRASKA SILVERITES.
Democrats Invite Secretary Carlisle to
Meet Bryan and Discuss Finance.
Omaha, Neb., July 15. The finan
cial issue, politically, has again been
forced to the front in Nebraska by the
publication of a letter to Secretary
Carlisle from the Democratic central
committee. He is warned that the in
vitation he recently received to ad
dress Nebraska Democrats at Lincoln
September 5 was not issued by the
Democratic state central committee,
but by the element in the party
which bolted the convention last year.
The committee explains in detail
that only thirty out of 400 delegates
bolted the convention nominee, os
tensibly because of fusion, but really
because the convention favored free
silver. Incidentally it may be men
tioned that though the bolters are a
very small part of the party, they
have been given all of the federal
patronage and recognized as the only
Democratic party at Washington. The
letter concluded: "However, by direc
tion of the regular Democratic organ
ization of Nebraska, we hereby extend
you a cordial invitation to attend
the regular Democratic state conven
tion at a date to be fixed in the near
future -id engage in a joint discuss
ion of the silver question with Hou.
W. J. Bryan. Bryan was the unani
mous choice of the last state conven
tion for United States senator, receiv
ing on the preference vote 80,000, as
against 40,000 for the regular Demo
cratic nominees the year previous. Our
platform is: The immediate restora
tion of the free and unlimited coinage
of gold and silver at the present ratio
of 1C to 1, without waiting for the aid
or consent of any other nation on
earth."
The letter has caused a commotion
in state political circles.
Four Skeletons Found.
Wichita, Kan., July 15. A mystery
of twenty-four years' standing was
probably solved at Waukomis, Ok.,
yesterday, by T. J. Blake, who dug up
the skeletons of three men and a boy
on his farm. Three bro.hers named
Fowler and the 14-year-old boy of one
of them started out from Caldwell,
Kan., for Fort Sill 1871 with freight
for the government. Neither they
nor their teams have ever been heard
from, and the skeletons dug up were
undoubtedly theirs. They were prob
ably murdered, robbed and buried by
the outlaws that infested that country,
then.
Big Scandal In Washington.
Washington, July 15. The grand

ris of Tennessee, for housebreaking
and felonious assault. The offense
with which he is charged was com
mitted on the night of July 4, at which
time he was arrested and taken to the
station house, but was subsequently
released. Two days later Milliken
left the city, and has not returned.

Wichita, Kan., July 15. Lizzie
Thomas, a chambermaid and domestic,
to-day threw herself into the Arkan

Identification of the Man Killed by the
Chicago Police
Chicago, July 11. The body of the
man whp was shot and killed by Po
liceman' Rosenthal in front of the
Auditorium has been identified as that
of Charles Gorman, who lived at the
Hotel Somerset, Twelfth and Wabash
avenue. From the laundry mark on.
I ftriiuc( J
real identity was established by the-
I ' . -- -
man who had befriended him. . Mon
day afternoon Gorman received a tel
egram from his wife in St. Paul, say
ing that his baby daughter had died
the night before, and urging him to
come to her. He made every effort to
secure money to take him where his
dead baby was, and after repeated
failures, in a moment: of desperation,
1 he attempted to rob Saloonkeeper Mc-
necessary, $18. .Then the two men
tried to pawn the weapon, but could
get no more than S6 on it. Gorman
then tried to trade it at the railroad
offices for a ticket to St. Paul, hia
efforts being unsuccessful.
The two men then went back to the
hotel. Gorman was very uneasy, and
about 7 o'clock said he must renew his
efforts to get the money. He started,
down town and was not seen again by

BOND FORGER LEWIS.
He Managed to Get Away With a Large
Amount of Money.
Urbasa, Ohio, July ll. Z. T. Lewis,,
the fugitive broker from Urbana, Ohio,
bought and sold over 3,000,000 bonds
last year. There is a showing already
of over 8100,000 fraudulent bonds held
by the banks and money lenders, and
it is believed the returns are not all in.
These bonds were handsomely litho
graphed, including the official signa
tures to them. The audacity of the
forgeries is magnified by the fact that
the bonds were on all counties and
towns within a day's carriage drive
from Urbana. He sold none of these
bonds, but used them as collaterals for
loans. Lewis told a friend not long
ago that he was in debt 200,000 for
bonds. It is believed that at least
half of these are spurious.
Lewis has not been seen since Mon
I day night, and it is believed he is ea
1 route for South America to .avoid ex-
tradition. A telegraph order was re
I ceived here to-day to send his overcoat
, and satchel to St. Clair, Mich. Some
, believe this is a ruse to mislead hi
t pursuers.
TO PAY IN SILVER.
flan to rut -the White Motal
in the
Treasury In Circulation.
Washington, July 11. A treasury
official to-day intimated that very soor
it might be determined to pay off gov
ernment employes all over the country
I in silver, in order to get the silver now
i in the treasury into circulation. He
observed that it was impossible to keep
in circulation more than 60.000,000
standard silver dollars, while of
gold there is something over SSO,-
000,000 in constant circulation.
The number of standard silver
dollars to-day in circulation is
about 5 000,000. The reason I hat sil
ver circulates in the South and West is.
explained by the fact that bankers in
shipping money for redemption to the
sub-treasuries, or the treasury direct,
have to pay expressag-e, and to keep
this expense to the lowest point pos
sible they continue in circula ion just
as long as they can all the j.aper money
SI and 2 bills and only when the
money becomes so ragged that it is
unfit for use do they send it to the
treasury to be redeemed, and very
often the bankers have silver sent irf
exchange, the government in this in
stance paying expressage on the coin.
Bankers generally report that it is
more difficult to put off silver on their
customers than it is paper money.
