It July 11, 1895. THE WEALTH MAKERS. TEN- IMS LOST IK AND AROUND CHICAGO. GREAT DAMAGE IS DONE. Six of the Dead Perished at Lake General and the Other Four Lost Their Live In Lake Michigan Many Injured and Much , Property De stroyed in Several Kan sas Towns. Chicago, July 9. At least ten per sons were drowned and incalculable damage was done by a storm which wept over this city and suburban re torts north of here yesterday after noon. Six of the dead perished at Lake Geneva, Wis., and the other four lost their lives in Lake Michigan. The storm came from the Northwest almost without warning and was one of the most furious known in years. The day had been intensely hot, and hundreds of people had gone out on the lake in excursion vessels, sailboat and rowboats. There was only about twenty minutes warning of the ap proach of the storm, and it is a wonder that the loss of life was not far greater than it was, but all the excursion Bteamers and nearly all the sailboats managed to reach land in safety. There were, however, many thrilling es capes, and all night long police, life saving crews and other persons were out on the beach seeking for traces of missing boats. There were many re ports of overturned vessels in the lake, but so far as can be found out now only four lives were lost here, though to-day may add to the list. Charles Klein, John Boss and Charles L. Shook were out in a row boat when the storm burst, and of them no trace has yet been found. At Lake Geneva, a noted summer resort, just before the storm broke, the steam launch Dispatch started on its last trip of the day with Father Hogan and sister of Harvard, 111., Dr. Franz, assistant superintendent of the Elgin asylum, and his wife and child, with John Preston in charge of the boat. The vessel had not gone half a mile when the hurricane bore down. The air in an instant was filled with leaves and broken limbs of trees and the waves were lashed into small (Mean billows. The hail and rain which followed the first gust was the most furious ever seen there. It was possible to see the little boat from ' both landings and the boatmen Watched the battle. The storm was directly behind it. The first gust drove the nose of the boat far into the waves and it was feared that the Dis- ?atch had died at the first onslaught, t came up, however, with the next crest, but the glasses showed that one passenger was missing. This was probably Miss Hogan, as the searchers found her body a mile from the wreck with a life preserver fixed in her hand. This plunging and rolling was continued for more than an hour when it was seen that the launch's steam had given out. Tho excursionists were seen hud dled in a group in the center of the boat. One big wave followed another, beating upon the helpless thing with increasing fury. It finally rolled over on its side, turned bottom up and sank. The men on shore took the bearings, telephoned to the hotels for help and the moment the storm permitted started to search for the bodies. Miss Hogan's body was found at Kaye's park about sundown. A most vigorous search by a hundred men has failed to get a trace of the others, and it is . feared they are all in the hull, held by the engine and machinery against the bottom of the lake.

All value is independent of money. Money is simply a medium for exchang ing articles of value. The power possessed by the banks to produce depressions and panics at their pleasure is a threatening danger which the people cannot afford to per mit. This is a growing evil that de mands the attention of the people. Chicago Express. The part that ba ok credit plays in effecting commercial exchanges, and the dangers surrounding its manipula tion by irresponsible parties has at tracted widespread attention. Public interest in this matter is not likely to diminish. Chicago Express. If free silver democrats or free sil ver republicans expect to accomplish anything of material benefit to the country they will join the people's party. An old party ite elected to of fice at once becomes the obedient serv ant of the gold-bug aristocracy. Witli the republicans running a gold-bug upon a "sound money" plat form, and the democracy making their campaign upon a platform indorsing Cleveland, Carlisle and the present ad ministration, Kentucky populists should have no trouble in carrying the state. The productive classes should not be wrangling and fussing over what Is to be the issue or whom the leaders. As long as they do they will be the victims of legalized robbers. The one big, important issue is to kill monopo ly. Get together. Iowa Farmers' Tribune. Midst the confusion and perplexity attendant upon the mono and bi con troversy and the interminable jargon about "parity," "ratio" and "sich like," it is refreshing to be able to turn for a relief to a consideration of abso lute legal tender paper money and gov ernment banks. Miss Francis Willard, president of the W. G T. U., and most widely known American woman, has, as she herself acknowledges, at last made the great discovery that intoxication is not the cause, but the result of poverty and oppression. This is the true solu tion of the great question, and we re joice to know that Miss Willard so un derstands it Marshall (Mo.) People's Record. United States Senator Eoach, of North Dakota, while attending a col lege commencement at Columbus, O., said that the people west of the Missis sippi river are solid in favor of free coinage and if both the old parties should declare against it there would be a big split from them and a silver party would be formed. It would put a presidential candidate in nomination next year and the result would be that the election would be thrown into the house. Says the Kansas City Star of late date: "A three-million dollar 4 per cent, gold loan of the city of Chicagoof fered in London was subscribed several times over yesterday. English capital ists evidently do not consider Altgeld and Hinrichsen such powers in Illinois as the two consider themselves and the English capitalists are right" Rats! The return to the free coinage of sil ver will not set aside a contract to pay gold, but it would reduce the value of the gold thus paid. The silver agitation by democrats is only to save the party for the offices it gives. They know that the demo cratic party cannot give the country free silver or any other reform. It has on several occasions made the at tempt and failed. The democratic party cannot shake off the money power, and its proposition to do so is only to fool the people. The leaders know that the democratic party would not stand a ehost of a show for su premacy now if deserted by the mil lionaires and English money power. Southern Mercury. The Nonconformist says: "The banks, which made the panic for their own selfish purposes, are now anxious for a revival of business as the only means of stopping the silver agitation. They hope that a sham pretense of prosper ity will lull the people to sleep again and allow things to go on as they were, with the money power in full control and able any time to make or break the country at the turn of a screw." Just so. The plutes are now yelling that "confidence is restored," while the banks are expanding credits and the employers are raising wages. An era of good times is billed to ar rive, in order to kill off the populists and the pesky free silverites. It will come very near doing it, too, "What fools these mortals be." Breaks Out Everywhere. "A taint of populism plainly mani fest in the minority views of the su preme court on the late income tax law" is the swell head of the plutio Pittsburgh Dispatch. Yes, and if you will read the declaration of independ ence you will find a taint of pop ulism there. You will find the same taint of populism in the speeches and writings of Abraham Lincoln. You will find it in the teaching of every educated man who is not directly or indirectly under pay of the money monopoly. You will find it pervades the sentiments of every man who is unselfish enough to wish his neighbor a better fate than slavery. Sledge Hammer. A Forecast The action of the republican leaguers at Cleveland forecasts the action of the republican convention next year. There is little doubt that the western free silver men will be able to force either a straddle or a dodge. There is but little doubt that after much bluster and menace they will acquiesce in the straddle or accept the dodge. Then the grand old party of high 'moral ideas will make a campaign for gold monometallism in the east and for humbug metallism in the west And if victory is won, Wall street's choice for secretary of the treasury will be duly placed in charge of the finances of the government St Louis Post Dispatch.

Corbett and Fltzsimmons Will Meet la ' the Ring- at Dallas. Dallas, Texas, July 9. Judge George Clark, of Waco, has submitted an opinion as to the legality of the pro posed Corbett-Fitzsimmons glove con test. The opinion is very exhaustive and lengthy. His conclusions are: First That the original act of 1691 was wholly inoperative. Second That when its provisions were re-enacted in the penal code of 1895 it was still inoperative for want of some court to try the offense. 'Ihird That the law was repealed by the revised statutes, which go into ef fect on September 1, 1895. Fourth That there is now no law upon the statute book of Texas pro hibiting pugilistic encounters, and that upon a payment or tender of the license fee prescribed for such exhibi tion, there is no lawful power in the state, under present laws, to interfere with the exhibition. Judge Clark gave the matter at isjue careful study and patient research, and his opinion is most sweeping. ANNUAL STATEMENT OF THE Nebraska S Ohio Coal. Co OF Lincoln, Neb., and Byer, Ohio.

Now for a strong pull for '061 All to. getherl Get up a club for this paper, only sue. till November lstl The Baltimore Plan, now practically endorsed by President Cleveland, is attracting universal attention because it is based on the evident fact that the currency and banking systems of the country must be re formed. But is the Baltimore plan a reform? It gives the associated banks the power to expand the currency and relieve the country. It also gives them the power to contract it at will and create universal distress for their own private gain. It puts the credit of the government behind every bank note. It donates all but half of one per cent of the profit on the note issue to the banks, and it leaves plenty of opportunities for a Napoleon of Finance to wreck a bank and leave the government to pay the notes. It leaves the banks free to demand the highest interest that the several states will allow, and affords no relief to farmers and business men of moderate capital. Contrast with this The Hill Banking System. In "Money Found," an exceedingly valuable and instructive book published by Charles H. Kerr & Company of Chicago, and for sale at the office of this paper at 25 cents, Hon. Thos. E. Hill proposes that the government open its own bank in every large town or county seat in the United States, pay 3 per cent on long time deposits, receive deposits subject to check without interest, and loan money at the uniform rate of 4 per cent to every one offering security worth double the amount of the loan. , This plan is not an expense to the government.but a source of large revenue. . It secures the government amply, which the Baltimore plan does not. It relieves the distress of the common people, which the Bal timore plan does not. It protects not only note-holders but depositors, who are un secured now and under the Baltimore plan would be still worse off. In a word, the Baltimore plan is in the interest of the bankers, the Hill Banking System is in the interest of the people.
