THE FIRE FlEsD
Visits SpringdaIe i'll the Dead Hours or Night and Destroys the Gladden.
 Hotel.

Tuesday night was dark ano stormy. The sky was overhung by black and forebodIng clouds. and ! the whip-llk e crack of the vivid ! lightning was immediately respon- ded to by peal after peal of loud and deep-toned thunder. The flash of lightning and the crash of thunder was intrrmingled with the ram which fell in torrents, and It seom ed as if the elements were engaged
 n terrific war, guided by the mas ter hand of some unseen being. During the night sometime between the hours of l and 2 o'clock the Gladden. Hotel, which stood on the North side of Emma Avenue, be- tween the business portion of the city and the depot, caught fire, and in short time the elegant building with all tho furnishings, etc, was reduced to a heap of smoldcrlng ruins. The fire was first discovered by Mir. Kirk, q guest "f the hotel, who was siocplng immediately over where the building was ignlted. He was awak kcned by the smell ot smoke, and rushing down stairs | discovered that the northwest cor ner of the sample room was whole mass of flames from the floor to the ceiling. He immo Hate y aroused the inmates of the house and gave the alarm, but by the time assistance arrived the flames were under such headway that it was impossible to | check them. Nothing was saved | from the building but the turn turc from tie family room and part oi the clothing of the guests. The | loss to Mr. Glad,cn was between S6.OOO and s7,000. The building was insured for $2,600 with the German Insurance Company, of FI ocport. Illinois. R. c. Nelson lost about $500 n clothing, etc, II. A. Wagner lost a gold watch and some clothing, Bert Williams lost his two sample trunks of clothing
 while others lost various sm all amounts. Thtre are several opinions as to how the fire origina- ted; some clam that 1t was htru ok by lightning and others that 1t was tho work of incenliaries. As MT Gladden. has no known enemies who would take such contempt bIe means for revenge, the first theory is the most plausible, but 1t vii. probably remain one of those mys teries to be explained only wher the sea gives IF it's dead. Mr Glad
 den and his excellent wife have tho sympathy of all m their loss
 Mr. Gladden. has rented the bricl near the sprlng of Mr Hawn and | will move into It soon.

That, since but @,OO0OOO in silver
could be coined per month, and so
part OF the conntry's silver would not
be available for money.
But there is a niggpr in the fence
here as the initiated well know Bank
ers have no idea of letting 90 their
grip upon the jsslle OF money for the
people Government bonds now pay
only from B TO o4l2per cent interest,
and don't furnish them sted enough
TO satisfy them, and besides in spite
Of them, may bo paid some time.
State stocks pay from 6 TO 7 per cent.
The old state laws are all on tho stat
ute books, and there is nothing to
hinder their operating under them;
but the act OF congress, passed during
the country's great peri, TO defend it
against the traitorous acts Of bankers
in seeking to depress tho country's
credit which net imposed q tax Of 10
p0r cent upon their issues and drove
them out of circulation II tho coun-
try accepts this devilish advice and
permits them TO shrink the currency
TO the amount Of gold and siver in the
country, in the distress and cry that
shall arise from the people, they will
hasten to their relief with the prop
osition which they will press upon
congress, to repeal the law imposing
10 per cent upon the issues of state
banks, and when the inevitable panic
comes, the people will again expert
ence the terrors Of the era of stump
tail currency" and rich bankers will
reap a bountiful harvest Of 6 and Z
per cent on bonds, whereas they now
get 3 on 4.
That this is no mere crazy fancy is
shown by the fact that Illinois mil
lionaire senator has already proposed
a bill TO restore banking on state
stocks.

The Beauties Of our System OF Taxa
tion.
A scheme for dodging taxes, almost
as ingenious as that Of purchasing
votes under the Australian system,
detailed in another column is quoted
in the Chicago Express:
NLillionaires in the different States
have an understanding among them
selves by which the man whose prop
erty is in taxable stocks, or other
property subject to taxation, just be-
fore the time Of assessment in his
State transfers the samo to his brother
millionaire in another State, receiving
in payment untaxcblo United States
bonds, and when the assessor comes
around has nothing to tax. After the
assessment ID made, the property
again changes hands and the same
bonds may perform like villainous
service in several different States
National Economist.
If we are correctly informed this
villainous scherne is practiced even in
our own county; and yet we are told
il will not do for farmers to go into
politics. II would be ruinous to their
prospects.

AMERICAN BANKERS IN SESSION.
Planning 10 Get Their Hands Deeper
Into the Pockets Ofthe Poor,

From the Chicago Express
The great american association Of
usurers, called bankers are in annual
session at Kansas City.
The fact that they alone ofall class
es, except Office holders and annu-
itants, are not oppressed by hard
times is indicated by an attendance Of
full 1000, the largest number yet
reached by them at an annual session.
AS always they are pining to get
their avaricious hands still deeper into
the pockets Of the laboring people Of
the country. 1t has disturbed their
sleep Of nights this more than a quar-
ter OF a century that there
we're over $30OOO00O0 Of tho peoples
money that paid them no usury On
the first day Of their session, q leading
member presents a long argument and
a proposition that tho body petition
congress in favor Of the purchase and
coinage Of $l,000,0O0 in silver each
month, and in favor of using this
money, dollar for dollar TO retire the
groenbacks, the only part Of the cur
rency that is no expense to the people
and no direct advantage to bankers,
While the country is in debt, this
amounts practically at least to some
extent, to taking $,OOO,OOO per month
out Of a circulation contracted already
beyond all endurable limits, and pill
ing il up in the treasury to be guarded
at considerable expense and risk, and
counted at more expense, with every
change Of treasurer or oftener.
Let the people remember chat for
every dollar OF silver coined or certih-
cate representing the silver and the
national bank bills, the people must
pay usury to bankers, and that the
legal tender greenbacks cost them no
usury nor expense for keeping or
counting.
Let the people wake up to their
interests and come to understand and
put final end to the ayaricioV
schemes Of these unconscionable
thieves.
The $346,00G0OO geenbacks that
afford no usury TO bankers, and the
decision Of the supreme court declar-
ing them lawful money, constitute an
object lesson to the people that they
may some day come to understand,
and hence q perpetual menace to
present schemes of piracy upon the
people in the issue Of their medium OF
Hence the all devouring desire Of
bankers to destroy them and blot out
The recollection of their existence

view Of the case. With the green (
backs out of their way and the nation

now beginning to favor, and which /

A GREAT GATHERING OF ALLI-
ANCE CLANS. sTAUNCH
AND TRUE.
From Three 20 Five Thousand Kansas
YcOmnn assemble nc Valley Falls
In FrnternaI Greeting, a
Grand Success.

There has perhaps never Deen VIII
messed a greater local gathering OF
any organization Of farmers than that
which met within the borders Of Val
Icy Falls last week upon the occasion
OF the Alliance picnic. As early as 7
o'clock parties came struggling IN.
However until about eleven o'clock
doubts were expressed by citizens OF
tho Falls in regard to q large crowd
being present; but they were then
soon dispelled when the head ap-
peared Of a procession numbering
nearly two hundred vehicles Of vari-
GUS descriptions, and many equiestri-
ans. II was IN imposing sight, one
that powerfully demonstrated the
strength Of the Alliance in this sec
tion Of Kansas. Many sub-alliances
were in thoprocession and each car
ried q banner containing inscriptions
Blue Mound No. 1853 created much Of
u sensation, with q mounted stuffed
OK, labeled down with the beef trust
On one Of their banners were the In
scriptions: "Two bushels Of corn for
one pound Of coffee; Money Trusts
Fat Capitalists and lean Farmers"
'1 bushol oats for onelb Of sugar"
etc.
Tho Swabvillc Alliance turned out
with q handsomely decorated wagon
upon which eight beautiful young la
dies in costume of white and blue, ar
ranged themselves forming an arJis-
tic and lovely picture. The bear was
also a prominent feature Of the Swab-
Vile.
The Woods Alliance wRs by no
means behind any Of It's neighbors.
They had a wagon orrayed for an ag-
ricultural display IA small state fair
on wheels) containing some wonders
in Kansas products. The size of the
oarg of corn lying IN rows on each
side Of the wagon gave it the appear
ance of a mnn Of war armed with
small cannOns, and several monstrous
beets carried the idea further, for
they were about the size Of howitzers.
Our space is too limited to give u full
description OF the occasion, but it can
be put down as great one indeed.
Tho main exercises were held in the
commodious park where an eloquent
address Of welcome was delivered by
Hon. Il. A. Myers. Judge PETER,
Click and major Simms
were among the speakers and each
received hearty applause for the in
teresting manner in which they talked
to the assemblage. The Pleasant Val
ley vocal club finely rendered some
selections, and the military band ably |
performed their share in the musical
line.
It was gala day for the Falls
flags and banners were hung from
buildings which were handsomely |
decorated with national colors.
