Rock Island train, near Topeka, about three
weeks ago, Wss found in a sewer.

they agreed to divide the game.
At the time of Babcock's arrest, Holt and

diamonds on his person, but before he went
to bed that night he took them down to the

Silver in the Senate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 14.-Senator
Jones, of Nevada, spoke three hours, and
did not finish, on the bill authorizing the Is
sue of treasury notes on deposits of silver
bullion.
He spoke of the general unrest prevailing
throughout the country. The prices of all
commodities, he said, had fallen and con-
tinued to fall. When a fall in prices was
found operating on the product of all indus
tries; when it was found not to be confined
to any cline, country or lace, but to be diff
fused over the civilized world; found not to
be a characteristic of any one year, it became
manifest that it could not arise from local,
temporary, or subordinate causes, but that it
must have its development in some principle
of universal application. What was it, ne
asked, that produced general decline of
prices IN any country? 1t was a shrinkage
In the volume of money relatively to the
population, and to business. The world had
never had proper system of money. 1t had
always been the object of the creditor class
to enhance the value of money by reducing
its volume, so that when the gold mines of
California and Australia were producing the
largest yield, it was proposed to demonetize
gold The motive of demonstration in the
case of silver, as well as of gold, was, Mr.
jules -Sd1u, W lllS CLASS
of the world, and to coniscate, so far as
practicable, the rewards of the hard toilers.
He spoke of the demonstration of silver by
Germany after her war with France as hay
ing inflicted greater evils on her people than
her armies had inflicted on France. If sur
prise was felt at the selfshness of her privi-
lodged classes In Europe in demonetizing
silver, what, he asked, was to be said in the
defense of the United States in demonetizinp
silver? No such stupendous act of folly and
injustice, he said, had ever been perpetrated
by the representatives of free people. The
United States was not creditor nation. In
stead of cemonetizing helping to rob the
creditor foreigner, it helped them to despoil
the debtors in America. In view of all the
circumstances; in view of the herculean diff
hculties with which the nation was surrounded
in 1873, the decentralization of silver by the
United States had to be regarded as one of
the historical blunders that was worse than
crime. 1t was the child of ignorance and
ayarlee, and it had proved the prolific pare.
OF ldleness,. poverty and misery. No better
remedy could be applied than the absolute
reversal OF that legislation, and the putting
back the monetary system of the country to
what it was before 1873.

the west part of Wilson county and bore al
most directly eastward, passing through

barns and other objects that came within its

five miles northeast of Altoona, the farm
residence and barn of Joseph WietX were

Ne Object in Exhibiting.

LONDON, May 13.-During the session of
the house of commons, Jesse Collins, liberal
unionist, asked whether the government would
take any steps to encourage British manufac-
turers to send exhibits to the worlds fair at
Chicago if the Mckinley tariff bill, now before
the American congress, becomes a law, in
view of the fact that the bill practically pro-
hibits importation of British goods into the
United States.
The right Hon. Sir James Ferguson, par
hamentary secretary of the foreign Office,
said that the question of the official partici-
patton in the proposed fair could only be de-
termined after consideration of the advan-
tages which would accrue to British interests
when an invitation to take part in the exhi-
bition was received from the American gov
eminent. 1t is probable, he said, that the
manufacturers of Great Britain would, to
great extent, be deferred from sending ex-
hibits to the fair if the tariff precluded profit
able sales in America.

NEW YoRK, May 12.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
During the past week the business situa.
ton has changed but little; the outward man.
ifestations vary somewhat, but the leading
facts are still the enormous volume of traffic
in progress, the expectation of monetary ex-
pansion, and the absence of forces at present
seriously disturbing even in details. Chief
and most potent of present favOring infiu-
ences is still the prospect of the increased
monetary use of silver in some form. Labor
controversies cause less uneasiness than has
been anticipated. It has come to be recog-
nized that injury to winter wheat may count
for 100000 bushels at least, but spring
seeding has covered an increased acreage
and a larger yield of that kind would natur-
ally follow higher prices. Cotton is a shade
weaker than week ago, and accounts of
injury less impressive. Iron shows no great
change, the radical facts in that branch be-
ing the transfer of part of the production to
iSouthern instead of northern fields. The in

How to Carve a Turkey.

One way is to cut from the breasts
square slices, and proceed in the same
way for all the fleshy parts of the bird.
Though this is an easy way for the
carver, it has the drawback of allow
ing all the natural gravy to escape
and to leave the most delicate morsels
chnging to the carcass. Or you may
remove the legs separately, place them
to one side, and then do the same for
the wings, but cut them up in pieces
of suitable size; next cut off the white
meat as close to the carcass as possible,
and, lastly, break up the carcass. A
third way, after the wings have been
removed, is to break the carcass above
the crupper, which remains attached
to the legs and forms sort of hood
vulgarly called the bishops cup.
This is a good way to serve. Carve
when there are only few persons al
the table; if the guests are numerou:
the second way is the better one
