Oct. 13, 1898 THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. 1 r STATES Says That the Worst Feature Low Prices at Which Farm Products Are Selling This Fall. By Cbaa. Q. DeFranee. Fourteen or fifteen years ago John W. Barry, a bright and energetic young man from one of the eastern states, came to Fairbury, Nebraska, and took charge as principal of the high schools of that city. After some two or three terms he resigned his position and became a partner in one of the largest retail lumber firms of Fairbury. ills partner had plenty of capital and John had high business ability. Crops were good for a number of years in succession, many new set tlers were coining to the county, and the firm of Switzer & Barry prospered. As time went on, and the inha bi tants of Fairbury and vicinity became better acquainted with Mr. Barry, they came to look upon him as an oracle on matters of statistics. Figures were his especial delight, and by the time the census reports of 1800 began to be circulated generally, Mr. Harry seemed to have at his tongue's end all the important items therln. Hence, it was natural that he should be the referee in many a wrangle over ques tions involving the results shown by that census. Politically Mr. Barry af filated with the republican party, and all his compilations of statistics at least, those he gave to the world con eluded with a glorification of the "grand old party." Nothing pleased him better than to corner some long whiskered populist, who porohanoe bad called at the lumber yard on bust ness, and bury him under an avalanche of figures showing the unbounded prosperity of Nebraska farmers. J During the years 3131-2-3- he was the bogy-man" of the republican party of Jefferson county. Whenever a popu list farmer got the better of his repub llcan neighbor in a political argument, the latter almost invariably managed afterward to bring his populist broth er and Mr. Barry together, start the ball rolling and then chuckle softly to himself while Barry bewildered the farmer with column after column of statistics. Finslly Mr. Barry's love of figures led him out of the retail lumber bust' ness. He compiled a valuable lumber men's aotuary and removed to Chicago to superintend its publication and sale; then he organized a lumbermen's com mercial agency, but afterward sold ont to a rival concern, and then bought aa interest in the Northwestern Lum bennan, a trade Journal devoted to lumber interests, published at Chicago, He is at present one of the editors of that Journal. When the campaign of '06 began to wax warmer and warmer, the republi can county central committee engaged Mr. Barry to make half a dozen speeches in Jefferson county, supposing that he eonld, as in the years before, astonish his hearers with apparently reliable statistics showing the bene- flcent effects of "the present gold standard. " But for some reason the speeches fell fiat. People who were formerly unable to detect the fallacies aad sophistries in Mr. Barry's speeches were no educated in statistical mat ters. Hence, Instead of gazing in open-mouthed wonder at a mathemati cal prodigy, who, apparently had all of ths Tenth Census committed to Memory, his audience smiled knowing ly, as If to say, "Your figures regard lag an Increased money circulation are very pretty, but when we feel down in our pockets and find not a sou, it is hard to make us believe we have more money than ever." Whether Mr. Barry's iuvestigatlons had in faot con verted him is not known, but It is certain his speeches at that time had little effect Although pro leasing a profound belief la the single standard, his arguments seemed to have lost much of their former vigor. As editor of a trade journal It Is Mr, Barry's duty to tell his readers fscts, not fsaolful theories. And while he would not hesitate to take advantage of a political satsgonlst by skillful Juggling ef figures, jet when It eomcs to a matter of duty, Mr. Barry can be relied on to tell the whole truth. In all probability he Is today talking "MsKlaley prosperity" to biwetalllaUi but whea he talks to lumbermen gerdlag preaeat eoadltloua, this Is what be sayst "The worst feature of esUtlnf eoa dltleae, as affecting the lumber trade, ee the low price el which farm pro uet are selling tut fall. The I.um- berates lit siprttn.ld this all aleng throve a the Meat fur It was ralU4 last the comparatively high rrteo at waWh wheat eUI ep to May his year was because of a shortage la K arose aad ail other pails of the world, wa caused aa tstreordtnary dtaiaed far AateiWaa wheel, Cora ayaretalaai with wheat to aa esteat tafteUal U eUU the artae to a par lag Vasts, The foretge ttentaad U Aaterteee arsis U et lare a rUr to the ewlieroe of the Uiur wheat el trooo have lare4 oat eo well, Ueufhtse yield has tea ata, that the later iatMat to prlaaarj atersste hae hoa heavy, 4 prtaas have eaallaad to a et where tsro ere to a largo esteat are refuatsf to all, pepaett ttw ei!r la has 00, ' esse, Mtaeeaut.

Hecth wostorw LataWrwiaa. WeooWvUtVha theaters fe "Ms FACTS of Existing Conditions is the Klnley prosperty" think of such a statement? Mr. Barry is not a demo pop, but on the contrary a most ar dent republican or at least he was the last time I saw him. The worst feature affecting the lumber trade is "the low prices at which farm pro ddcts are selling"; doesn't that feature affect many other trades? Doesn't it affect the farmers too?. "The com paratively high price" of wheat is good. The price has never been "high" under "McKinley prosperity"1 only "comparatively high." And this comparatively high price was caused by MoK no, "a shortage in Europe and other parts of the world." When wheat was comparatively high, corn sympathized "to a sufficient ex tent to elevate the prico to a paying basis." It surely can't be on a pay ing basis now, since it has ceased to "sympathize" and wheat has gone down. One thing Mr, Barry will need to guard against if he keeps on writ' ing such truthful matter regarding existing conditions, tho Hay ward-Bee-Journal speech-writing syndicate will "dissect" him; and their task will be just as difficult as the one they under took lost week. ' o Speaking of "dUsectlng"i State Treasurer Meserve, on Monday night, September 20, at the Oliver theatre in Lincoln, poured some hot shot into the fellows who wrote the speech Judge lisyward delivered at the L'an caster county convention come days ago. He told everything in a straightforward manner which carried conviction to bis audience. Hardly a statement of figures made by Judge Uayward in his Lincoln speech was correct, and Treasurer Mescrve won ders why an artstocratlo guntleman like Judge Uayward, aitpiring to the highest office in tho st ate, did not come directly to the various state otllccsand obtain whatever figures he desired direct from the records. The treasurer declared that had Judge Hay ward done so, every courtesy would have been accorded him; but it seems the judge preferred to have the Bee and Journal reporters prepare his speech. It may be that, like the song, "He's sorry now he spoke," for the speech is so utterly unreliable in mat ters of figures that no relf-rcspecting man can knowingly deliver it to ap intelligent audience. Commenting on the Hayward speech the other day, the State Journal said; "As a matter of fact, there are just about tho same balances in the treasury in the general and sinking funds today, as during the Bartley administration." Balance sheets in auditor's office show the following: Aug. 81, 1800, general and Sinking funds $004,080 74 Aug. 81, 1898, general and Sinking funds' 11,553 79 Bartly had only a little over sixty times as much in these two funds just two years before as Meservo had on the last day of August, this year; but it isn't hard for the Journal to lio 6,000 per cent. On August 81 Treasurer Meserve had on hand In all funds 1407,441.06, but only two of the funds, the general and the sinking, are available for reduc tion of interest-bearing state debt. A number of the funds need to bo trans ferred to the general fund but this re quires legislative action. When Trees urer Meserve took charge of his office ho received from Mr. Hartley the fol lowing funds which were available for reduction of state debt.

BODY TAKEN FROM THE GRAVE. friends and Relatives of Mrs. Konkal Say . She Was Insane Another Esamloatlea of the Polioned Woman's Remains Made by ProfoMor llartow, Lxwbknck, Kan., Oct. 11. The body of Mrs. J. J. Kunkel waa taken from the grave this morning to make an ex aralnation regarding the method of embalming. Amnio was used in the embalming process and the examina tion waa to determine that the arsenic found in the stomach was entirely separata from that used in embalming. This examination was conducted by several physicians of the city and an analysis will be made by l'rof. Edward llartowof the University of Kansas, who made the analysis that resulted in the arrest of Mr. KunkoL Mr. Hartow was at work in his lab oratory this morning but was unwill ing to talk about tho result of his work in the Kunkel case. The analy sis of the brain and some of the inter nal organs of lilrdie Cotnlngore is now in progress under Mr, llurtow's direc tion and, while it will bo more diffi cult to ascertain the cause of death in her case than in thirl of Mrs. Kunkel on account of the long time the body has lain in the gntvc, still, if the poi son was given in anything like the quantities used lu Mrs. Kunkel's case, that fact can be uncurtained. Mr. Hartow thinks It will take him till next week to determine definitely the results of his examination In this case. A feeling In favor of Kunkel has de veloped in the last twenty-four hours, and the officers now are even inclined to believe that it will be hard to con vict him of the charge' against him. This morning a telegram was received from Bcattlo, Wuxh., atklng if Kunkel needed any assistance in any way and proffering financial or other aid that might be needed. It Is stated that Mr. Kunkel has decided to associate Judge George J, ltarkcr with Judge Norton in defense of the case. Mrs. Kunkel's sister told a number of people when she was here, at the tlmo her sister died, that she believed Mrs. Kunkel was insane and not re sponsible for her acts, and that she would go on the witness etand and testify to that fact. Other friends and relatives of Mrs. Kunkel are said to be willing to swear to the same state of affaire. This has led to the belief that the defense for Mr. Kunkel will be that Mrs. Kunkel poisoned her daugh ter and then took the same method to put an end to, her own life. The fact that Intimates of the family will tes tify that Kunkel's family relatione were pleasant and that there was no motive for him to wish to get hie step-daughter and wife out of the way will make the defense's case a very strong one.

Not so very long ago all guns were cut by pouring molten Iron into a mold and then letting It cool slowly; but it was found that guns made in that way were not strong enough to stand tbe tremendous strain of the large charges of powder required to send a shot fast enough to enable It to pierce the steel armor of a modern ship of war; so tbe old method of cast ing was abandoned as the v-mor be came stronger, and now r '.y all modern cannon are what li called "built up." First a long steel tube of the finest and slronnent metal is made, and around this are placed, or "shrunk on," succe-Blve cylinders or rings, one over the other, with the greatest care and nicety, first the "Jacket" and then the "hoops."

Tbe pcoceiw above described Is called "assembling" a gun, and In the place of the short cast-Iron cannon of for mer days, shaped something like a big bottle, we have that long, graceful teel rifles, which look not unlike gigantic watch-keys. Tory vary in size from the small rapid-fire guns, a few hundred pounds in weight, to the great thirteen-Inch "Peacemaker," as it was fondly called, which tipped the scales at sixty tons 120,000 pounds, All these modern guns are breech-loaders, and after the shot and powder have been placed In the pow ler-chamber, the breech is closed by a sled "breach plug," which Is shoved Into the gun and by a short turn Is screwed tight Into the breech, The shot or shell has also undergone a chanse, Tbe round cannon-ball most of us are familiar with hasglvenway to l)" "projectile," which Is made of steel, hardened ac cording to the work It bns to do; and In those that are intended to pierce armored ships tbe metal must be so hard that the projectile can be fired through steel armor of a thickness equal to one-eighth more than Its di ameter, without its being broken or materially injured;' for Instance, an eight-Inch projectile, according to this rule, must be capable of piercing a nine-inch steol plate Rt.
