Sand worth At least $500. 600 Is collected
and deposited in the new shore line Of
every mile. Twenty miles are now
improved and the accretions are
worth 8, 200 0eo above the cost Of the
work that made them possible. The
improvement Is necessary for the rea-
son that the railroads are not able %
carry the crops OF the country. A
wheat blockade exists In nearly every
western state at the present time. and
there are no good reasons for the belief
that II VIII soon be raised Where water
routes are available so per cent of
their tonnage consists Of products Of
the teid aud forest the small balance
being merchandise. The value Of the
proper caring for the rivers Of the
country Is shown BY the fact that
IN spite of the increase in the
production Of wheat the price has
steadily decreased from sl.si per bushel
In 1873 to 80 cents in 1890. The foreign
demand has also decreased In about the
same ratio. The water rates are never
more than half the rail rates and the
producer gets the benefit OF the differ
ence. The improvement Of the Mis-
souri, river will give the west water ia
eilities equal 10 the lake states The
rate to New York, based upon the lake
and rail route, Is about 40 cents per
hundred upon grain; the rate to New
Orleans from the Missouri river. the
same base, Is but 81 cents With the
river improved the rate would be still
.ess New York is now the port of ex.
port and the New York rate governs the
price OF western wheat and corn. II the
port OF New Orleans becomes the ex.
porting point the rates will be less,
and all other other cities must conform
to them. New Orleans is already fast
becoming the export city for the west
and southwest and all export rates
viii soon be based upon the rate by tie
river to that city. II will then be inn
possible for the railroads to put in n
advance of ten per cent in the rates
every year with the closing of the
lakes This has always been done
aud the western farmer paws the
difference. The advance this year
went into effect on the Esd of Novem. |
Der, but the gulf lines have refused to |
meet the advance. With export rates |

'qual In both cases, the gulf has an
advantage of nine cents per hundred
low, and will have even more. With

will be independent of New York, aud

HARDING WAS MURDERED

From a Heavy Car
Pin.
In Fear of Some Neighbors, Owing
to Testimony He Hnd
Given.
The Penrose Case Not Yet Ftnished--Nar-
M row Escape From Death In n
Butte Mine.

BErrE Oct. 1.-[special. IA coroner's
inquest was begun to-day on the body of
Luke Harding, found yesterday in his
cabin which had been almost destroyed by
firs the night before. Examination by the
county physician revealed a fracture Of the
skull and a piece of broken iron driven into
the brain. A car pin was found in the ruins
and In the opinion of the doctor Harding
was murdered by blow from thb pin and
tho cabin then robbed and set on fire 80 as
to conceal the murder. The inquest will be
concluded tomorrow, when 1t ia thought
additional facts will be brought out. Some
time ago Harding expressed fears that he
would be murdered by parties residing near
him, because of testimony he gave in trial
about year ago. He told neighbors that
parties had made threats against him. Two
weeks ago his rifle and revolver were stolen
and it is now believed that tho parties who
stole the weapons committed the murder.
Several persons are suspected and arrests
will probably be made in few days.

NORWOOD'S PLAN.
-rbstltute Proposed for tho Alliance
sss Sub Treasury Scheme.

Sub b-Traasnry Scheme.
ID VA, Gn., Oct. 1.--Thomas M. Nor
wood, ex- United States Senator from
Georgia, by invitation OF the legislature.
addressed the members Inst night on the
general question Of the finances and cur
rency Of the United States. He advanced
new plan for banking, declaring against the
present system. His plan Is for congress- to
direct tho secretary Of the treasury to pre-
pare sufficient number of legal tender
notea OF convenient denominations, which,
added to existing currency. Will give 43o,
$40, or $50 per capita; the treasurer shall
gold and silver. TO redeem the notes. Nor
wood proposes to readiust and equalize the
circulation OF currency In this way: Each
state, on demand, shall receive Of legal
tonder an amount which, added to- the OK
istinR circulation. will make the
by uas Congress. . This shall BE- used
by each state according as the people deter
mlne; that is, in banking, or be let by the
state to individuals. Land shall be one Of
the securities and each state shall lend on
its own products. Thus the natural re-.
sourcas Of the state would be developed and
it's wealth increased to the benefit OF every
citizen. Each state should set aside not
less than 10 per cont. of its legal tenders to
protect its citizens against financial crises
and squeszes. With millions loaned the
states would receive annually much interest
with which a sinking fund could be estab-
lished, and In time tho funded debt paid
off. and besides the state could in few
years discontinue taxation, except county
and municipal.
Norwood'a plan, which is n subtitute for
the alliance snb-treasury plan, avoids fed
eral action, each state lends to farmers on
land or it's own special products, at low in
torest.

Ordered to Rebuild the lsoaa.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 1.-The Kansas rail-
way commission are bringing to issue the
matter Of rebuilding the Kansas Central
railway branch of the Union Pacific. A
year ago the commission reported that the
road was not in fit condition for the safe
travelling of tho public. To-day. after a
tour over the road with General Manager
Clark, the commission ordered the company
to rebuild tho road. The road showed in
ability to make repairs, pleading the pow
erty Of the Union Pacific. The commission
issued peremptory orders confirming tho
previous order and threatening to revoke the
compnuy's charter General Manager
CLARK replied that tho company would re-
gret losing the charter, but would not con
test action by the state looking to that end,
nor would it comply with the commission's u
order. The commissioners have laid the
matter before the governor. The commits
sion, in it's report,> describes tho condition
of the rond as vsry\bad; that the rails arc
old iron, bent and worn and utterly unfit
for use; in fact, that the condition OF the
road has driven from it all tram service but
one single mixed train day with time
card of eleven miles an hour.

MORE CONTRADICTIONS
Brought Out In Kebuttal in the Penros

Brought Out In Kebuttal In the Penrose
Case.
BuTTE, Oct. LII Special. CONTRARY to
expectations the Penrose murder case was
not closed to-d day. Policeman King was
examined in rebuttal and substantiated the
evidence given the day before bv Condor.
King was in the same game with Condor
and did not SEQ anv Of the accused in
Hughes u McCormick's saloon on the night
of the murder. as testified to by witnesses
for the defense. ". Harris testified
that he was in the Crystal saloon
at 11:45 on the night Of the mur-
der and saw jerks and Burke there, and
left with them to look at Penrose's body,
as man came IN and said Penrose
had been killed. jerks and Burke we're wit
nesses for the defense and testified to having
been with the accused in the upper end O +
town at the time Harris said they we're in
the saloon with him. II. G. Dodge testified
that he went home few minutes before
midnight. and saw three strange men near
Caplice hall, block above where the muir
der rt,s committed. One of them stood in
the doorway, and the other two were across
the street, moving back and forth. The
man in the doorway had mustaohe and a
small growth of beard. So far the prose-
cution's evidence in rebuttal has been very
strong and contradicts much of that of the
defense in their efforts to prove an alibi.
