Nor many months ago those who

Gates of Western Land Mortgages As
an investment; but that bubble has
burst and carried down many thous-
ands of dollars with 1t. The DeEawar-
can of Dover says:
We learn that persons of our town have
lost money that they invested in western
hands, and one paper in an adjoining State
says that the loss in one town there amounts
to 100000. It seems as though it would be
a much better plan to invest at home rather
than send the money away even if greater
interest eau be obtained WHY cry hard
times in this town when so much of our
money circulation is taken up and sent off d?
Inyest at home.
The benefit will soon be apparent,
and the freer circulation OfmOney will

wheat very slow sale when it meets
competition. A few small sales have
been effected at seventy cents, bat not
enough to establish "A market Far
mers OF this vicinity have become ae-
custOmed to getting city prices for
their wheat; between the competition
created by the roller mills and the
phosphate people. The latter have
bid up the price heretofore. because
they got their pay for fertilizers sold
on crop credit at interest by buying
wheat, aud the mills found it cheaper
to pay city prices here than to buy
there and freight down; so the farmer
found a good market.

FRANK WILLIAMS LETTER.
She told how Charley Carlson and her
husband gained admission by climbing
through a window, and described the
condition of the interior. Mr.. Lingren
corroborated his wife's testimony, and
the piece of window shutter was offered
in evidence. William Neimann was
then called, and his evidence created
sensation. Neimann's story was that
he is saloOnkeeper OIL School street
and Ashland avenue. He opened his
place May 8, and that day made a con-
tract with O'Sullivan for ice. The next
evening, May q, about 1890 o'clock,
OSullivan came In, accompanied by
two men. They staid about half an
hour. When asked to describe the men
Neimann said one was tall. light COM
pleXiOned man, with muStache; the
other was little man. When asked if
he observed those men in court witness
heSitated. KunZe grew as white as
paper and Coughlin's eyes glared at the
witness like those of wild beast. The
an answer witness said: According to
my best judgment think Dan Cough
lin was the tall one." Witness, after
further questioning, said: Il would not
swear to it, but my best Judgment is that
John KunZe is the little man saw there
that night" The defense tried hard to
confuse the witness Oh dates, but he
had them

Montgomery, of the Chicago avenue
station, testified to the frequent tele-
phone messages passing between
Coughlin and O'Sullivan. and Officer
Kalvalage identified the piece of foot
printed floor. Alfred Kettner, young
German matchmaker, said he had known
Coughlin for several years, and
lent material assistance to the

big detective was in the vicinity
of the Carlson cottage pretty much all
of May 4, from noon to midnight. There

said, smalle er and younger, rather stout
and having small black mustaehe, he
thought to have been Cooney or ST.

testified to seeing men on the sidewalk
in front of the Carlson cottage on the
night of May IL, and a light inside. Five
minutes later the men had disappeared
and the cottage was in darkness. The
court then adjourned until tomorrow.

ENEMIES OF WHISKY.
Four Hundred Women Attend the
National. w. @. L. U. COnyen-

tlOn.
CHICAGO, Nov. S.-The sixteenth an
nual meeting of the National WOman's
Christian Temperance union opened its
session this morning at Battery ID. a
full representation from every state and
territory was present, and the large
building was filled to OverfiOwing. Miss
Frances Willard called the delegates to
order. The morning and afternoon were
devoted to singing and praying and the
reading of reports. Mrs. Caroline ID.
Bull, of Connecticut. the corresponding
secretary, read an extensive review of
the work of the national union during
the last twelve years. She stated tnat
the present year had been one OF the
best, if not the best year of the work.
The dues for 1899 realized the sum of
S14. 3S6. so, and the balance now in Miss
Pugh's hands is So, 2z2. 40. Gen. Neal
Dow, of Maine, the venerable father of
prohibition in America. briefly ad-
dressed the convention this after
noon and was enthusiastically greeted.
The meeting in the evening was joint
welcome to the delegates and an ovation
to President Frances E. Willard. the
frequent mention of whose name by the
several speakers was the occasion OF
prolonged applause. Miss Willard de-
livered her annual address. She re-
ferred at some length to the different
political parties in connection with tenn
perance reform and said: t'By parity
of reasoning we are free to declare our
sympathy with or our criticisms of po-
litical parties, and beyond this do not
believe, as a non. partisan party. we can
consistently CO." Miss Willard recalled
but one instance when the union went
beyond the consistent position of nom
partisan society, and that she always re-
GREETED. That was when last year the
convention voted to allow her to be an
advisory member of the Prohibition
party's executive committee. She had
resigned the position that the society's
record might be without flaw, so far as
the question Of non-partisanship was
concerned.

Mill company, of which Charles E..
Flandrau was president; kingsland
Smith, general manager; George y.
Squires, secretary, and Francis T..
Smith, treasurer.
1t is certain that the mill will be re-
b lit at the earliest possible moment:
but such cannot be accomplished until
next year. This mill was not in the
deal with the English syndicate. but ne
gOtiations looking to such sale were Oh
foot.
LOSS AND INSURANCE.
1t Is impossible at this time to esti-
mate the loss, as the first figures are al
ways subject to change upon investiga-
ton and adjustment. The mill proper
was valued. with its machinery. at $780,
000, and contained considerable flour in
store, but the exact quantity cannot
now be determined. 1t was held that
the loss will not exceed S150,000 and that
sum may be largely reduced when the
calculations are made amid less exciting
surroundings. The insurance is placed
at $4,000, which may not include
smaller sums carried by non-bOard COM
panies. Most of it was placed by s. 5.
Eaton and the balance by Watson Bros.
Il Hyndman, all in Eastern companies.
The division between the two agencies
could not be made last night, nor could
it be estimated upon which portions of
the entire plant the amount was placed.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
F. E. Smith, the treasurer of the COM
pany, was seen at the breaking out OF
the fire. In reply to questions put he
said that the fire was started by the eX-
plosiOn of a lamp in the wheel pit, i'll
which some men were working. The
oil caught fire and, in spite of all that
could be done to prevent spread of the
flames, they were communicated to the
woodwork and some infiammable ma
terial which lay near by. The smoke
drove the men from the pit and soon
permeated the entire building, making
any individuol effort to reach the seat
of the trouble impossible. An alarm
was at once turned in and the remain
der of the story has been told above.
But few casualties are reported as
having occurred. The most serious in
juries received are those of Nick An
son, of Engine Company No. l, who
fell from the roofing of shed in the
rear of the fire, and was badly bruised.
Williams, of No. S, was slightly injured
by falling timber, and one of the men
from the west side had his hand badly
cut by falling glass;

FOUGHT LIKE WILD BEASTS
An Eye Witness to the Duel Tells
How 1t Occurred.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. s.-Harry
Swift, the distributing clerk of the post
office, who was putting the mail into
the boxes when the tragedy occurred,
says:
'Swope and Goodloe were waiting In the
corridors, and Swope had emptied his box
and was holding his letters and papers in his
hands, when a few words passed between
them. Swope's pistol was leveled at Good
loe's head, but his hand was pushed aside
just as the pistol went off. The ball struck
the glass front of 362. smashing the
glass, and the ball glancing up
ward. Another shot followed the first
very quickly. and as the two men were close
together. this evidently was the ball which
took effect in Goodloe's abdomen Swope
put both hands convulsively against his
breast, and staggering forward fell upon his
face, just at the front door of the custom
house. Both men scowled and snarled like
mad panthers, and it was evident from the
first that it was to be fight to the death. No
one appeared to be in the lobby at least no
one interfered.
