the public method of saving money that must
commend itself to all who have to figure on
expenses. 1t is composed of business men and
there is no sentiment or brotherhood nonsense
about it. Any one may become member.
The National Rebate Company has made con-
tracts with merchants in various lines of goods
to allow to its members. upon presentation OF
membership ticket certain discounts or rebates
from selling prices. The members are under
no obligation to trade with merchants under
contract though it is to their interest to do So
The members save substantial sums OF money
out of their household and personal expenses.
The merchants get a sure and certain line of
custom because of the membership interest in
rebates. The fundamental difference from all
other cooperative efforts is that the members
make no investments and have consequently
no risk. Even membership is free, and what
ever is saved is clear gain. Naturally the asso-
citation is growing rapidly in this city, and ap-
plications are coming from the suburbs and
all parts of the country as well. Full partic-
ulars may be had upon application by letter

Louisville, March 2s.-The early night train
on the Louisville, st. Louis ond Texas road had
a race for life with the Storm and for three long
minutes the shrek of escaping 'steam mingled
with the screams Of the passengers and the tor
nados cry Of death, inspired a terror never be-
fore realized by man. Soon after crossing the
Salt River bridge, twenty miles below Louis
vile, the engineer heard an indescribable noise.
and q queer cloud in the southwest told him Of
more danger than all the red lights that had ever
flashed on the steel ribbons before his engine.
The track there is perfect level for some miles,
and he knew that TO be caught in that place
meant instant death to himself and passengers.
A slight elevation of earth was four miles in
front Of MIN; to gain it would only
be small and weak protection against
the foe no man can fight, but he would do his
best One wild, long, weird blast of his whistle
and the throttle was placed at the limit Madly,
frantically, rushed his engine, swaying from side
to side, while perfect pandemonium reigned among
the crew and passengers In one minute the
noise of the tornado drowned the clatter of wheels
and the sky was impenetrable. When all hope
seemed gone, the tornado crossed the track in

Finances ON Specie Basis, with Gold
Standard.
CHICAGO. Oct. N.-A special from New
York says: A cable received here yester.
day contained statements, which il
true, are of the greatest import.
It is said that the Australian govern
ment has completed . scheme fol-
putting the finances Of the empire on 4
specie basis, and has adopted gold stand
ard It is also stated that It Il intended to
create . gold specie reserve by
= loan, and convert paper forms
exchange. The matter has been discussed
for weeks past In European journals. The
verdict Of thinking men has been all along
that any attempt to do such . thing
at the present time would b mad.
ness. The plan would include the Kidding
of the Austro- Hungary hank of 10000, 000
forms. or $4,000 600 in silver, and ex.
changing it for gold. OF the notes Of the
state ~. 100000 forms would b with
drawn, the remaining 1OO. 0OO. 900 forms to
be exchanseahle for gold. In order to 40.
compiish this Ill the gold loan would have
to be raised.
LoNDoH, Oct. 20.-The Econonsist estimates
that the amount Of the loan required is
10000 600. Where could any country,
however good its credit. obtain E20. 000.-
600 at the present timer On Fri.
day last the entire amount of gold in
the Bank Of England was only f10, 500. SIT.
Everybody knows that England is trying
hard to get gold. The Bank of Germany
had on October II go, 296, 600. and wants
more. The Bank Of France had
81, 725,0 600 francs. but il unwilling
to part with it An attempt to
raise such loan would give rise to the
most serious monetary in the world. Then,
too, the attempt to dump ~. 900 600 in
silver on the market ct present would
cause the price to drop 90 that the opera.
ton would entail great loss the the Austro-
Hungarian bank, although it could posi-
bly, market the silver at higher prices than
it gave for it originally. Thinking men il
this country refuse to believe the reports.
