AN INCREDIBLE STORY.

LOUISVILLE, November 26.-The ex-
termination of an entire family save
one member by poison is a case that
has been discovered here. One year
ago Thomas Austin, his wife and five
children lived at LOG Eleventh street.
One by one the children died until one
remained. The father and remaining
child were reported dying yesterday.
In each case the symptoms have been
exactly the same.
Each child which had died had been
insured, and the money was paid by
the insurance company immediately
after death. The amount of the in
surance of each ranged from 5000 to
$500. DR.. Smith made a diagnosis and
concluded that the cause of the illness
OF the father was arsenical poisoning,
and is firmly convinced that arsenic
has been used in every case. The
mother is alive and well. The insur
ance policies were ali made out in her
name. She refnses to talk.

Of Pupils Of an Indiana Pub
lie School.
Two Dead and Fifteen Others Danger
ously Sick.
An Entire Family Except One Mem
Der Gradually Exterminated.

FRANKFORT, IND, Nov. 26.-Infor'
nation has been brought to County
Superintendent Lyddy that one of the
public schools in Forest Township, in
the eastern part of this (Clinton)
county, had been closed by the whole
sale poisoning of the pupils, and also
the teacher.
An investigation proves that the
teacher and fifteen of his pupils are
in a critical condition, while two Of
hem are dead.
For the past three weeks the teacher
Joseph Goar, has noticed the attend
ance growing gradually less, all caused
by sickness. One week ago he himself
was taken i'll and compelled to close
the school. 1t was found, upon in
vestigation, that all the pupils who had
regularly drank of the water from the
well were sick, while a few pupils who
lived near the school and went home
for meals were not affected.
The symptoms developed are similar
to those of typhoid fever. Thursday a
child of Robert Dillen, who had been
afflicted for several days, grew rapidly
worse, and died Friday.
Saturday another one Of the pupils
a ten-year-old daughter of James Burg
EFT, became suddenly worse and dice
Sunday. Investigation this evening
shows that fifteen other pupils and thu
teacher were decidedly worse, and sew
eral more deaths are expected by the
doctors. The doctors say it is clea
case of water poisoning.

He Must Come From the West.

"Put your camp meetings in the
disaffected religious districts" This
was the advice of Judge Scott, of the
old Republican stronghold, Nebraska,
in speech urging the National Re.
publican Committee to select Omaha
as the place for holding its next Presi-
dental Convention.
There seemed to be, from the re-
marks OF the speakers that followed,
need for camp meeting in disaf-
fected districts all over the west. 1t
was very clear that there will not be,
If the speakers are to be believed,
enough camp meetings in the next six
years to go around. The opennesS
and emphasis with which the leaders
of the Republican party agreed at the
Washington meeting of their commit
tee that their party lines were badly
broken into all oyer the country, and
particularly in the West, were both as
tonishing and significant, The argu-
ment made by the trans Mississippi
States that they needed the
Convention to naturalize the evils oil
Democratic activity was net put forth
as an empty claim, but in each case
the speaker took particular pains tc
cite the comparative returuns OF 1885
and subsequent years to prove that ir
his part of the country the RI publican
party was in a bad way and needed al
the aid it could possibly get to regair
the strength that has slipped and il
gradually slipping away from it.
Mr.. Fassett made this plea for New
York as place for holding the con
vention, but he was not one-half S,
frightened as the leaders from tn
West and the great Northwest, whicl
for years have been overwhelmingly
Republican. The representatives 0

the Speakership Contest.

New YORK, Nov. 26.-It is stated by
a gentleman in position to know that
Hon. Benton McMillin is the second
choice OF a majority of the New York
delegation for Speaker Of the next
House, If Crisp is not elected on the
second or third ballot number of his
votes from this State will go to the
Tennessee candidate. A majority OF
the delegation is understood to be
pledged to Crisp by the influence OF
Tammany. Some OF the representa-
tives so pledged if allowed to vote fol
their personal choice would support
Mr.. McMillin from the first ballot
They will go to him the moment there
seems to be a doubt of the election 81
Crisp, and they may turn the tide in
favor of the Tennessee man and secure
his election.
The influence of Tammany will be
exercised not so much to elect Crisp
as to defeat Mills. Tammany is very
friendly towards Mr.. Mcmillan, and i
the caucus shows that he is a stronger
candidate than Crisp the New Yorl
organization may possibly suppor
him from the start. The members O
the State delegation, who can not b.
influenced by Tammany, it is under
stood, will vote for Mills first, last ant
all the time, but Mr.. Mcmillan cal
count on majority Of the delegation
as reserve force in the event Crisl
does not develop winning strength Oh

AT WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The Speak
er's race can best be described in the
single word Kaleidoscope" Day
before yesterday it was Crisp and last
night and today it was Mills. Bynum's
retreat and the Texans inheri-
lance of Indiana's vote has
given the Mills boom much in
flation. No mans opinion is worth a
bauble as to the result. | can only send
the news and the people must do their
own specializing and so must our read
ers. The best opinion seems to hold
to the idea that Crisp will lead on the
first ballot, granting that Mills home
steads on Indiana. | saw Mr.. Crisp a
brief while last night in his quarters
He was composed and confident The
death of his son weighs upon him amid
all his excitement, and be rarely leaves
his chamber
When the news of Bynum's with
drawal was broken to him he said with
out shadow of excitement that he ex-
pected it, and hethen turned to at
tend to incoming callers.
Bynum and four other Indiana
members now in the city we're seen
last night and expressed their deter
mination to vote for Mills. II Spring
er aud Hatch should drop out, and if
their votes should go the way Of In
diana, it may make Mills the speaker,
but Springer has a knack of standing
by his guns, and his friends speaking
for him declare that he will be in at
the finish Mr.. McMillins friends
are quiet but not point in the fight
is escaping them. They are not only
earnest but enthusiastic for their can

THE SUB-TREASURY BILL.
1t Destroys the Curse of Usury-The Pow.
Of IN,

It Destroys the Curse of Usury-The Power
of Money to Cypress.
At the urgent request of many per-
sons we reprint Mr.. Pickler's sub
treasury bill No one claims this to be
the only bill that can be framed for
this purpose. But it is a BILL and
either this or something better will
eventually be adopted. The thing that
must be done is to provide some way
for the producer of the non-perishable
products of the earth, absolutely neces-
sary to existence, to borrow money
upon these products as collateral The
plutocrats for thirty years have been
shaping legislation and controlling COM
mercial interests TO bring all public
necessities absolutely under their pow
er, and they have succeeded. This bill
at one STROKE would break the chains
from the producers of wealth, and he-
because of this plutocracy will fight
this bill to the bitter end. You may
measure the growing strength Of e siss
bill among the people by the noise
made against it Attention and
discussion is what the friends
of the measure want and the
more its enemies lie about it
the better for its success. Why
should not every farmer want this bile
1t certainly does not propose any WILD
or untried scheme for the storing of
grain, The system of warehouses is
now thoro ghly tried and established.
The years supply now goes into some
warehouse or elevator there to wait the
IL.
Why should not the government which
is the people, build them and own them?
Individuals and corporations do it now
and use them to Cypress and rob on
every hand. Honestly, from the stand
point of self interest, could these things
be worse, and might they not be bet
ter?
Is it not time TO stop that silly talk
about the bill being a greenback craze
for imitation? How can it be imitation
when the grain must first be in the
hands of the farmer and but eighty per
cent. of its value advanced? just look
at this nationally. Would the govern
ment advance any more money than
the banks and commission merchants
now advance? What do these men now
send out to buy this grain with? Gold2
Not bit of it They send out theip
credit. The government would do
nothing more or less than these men do.
1t would issue treasury notes for
eighty per cent. of the appraised value
of the grain when stored and when the
grain was consumed these notes would
be retired. Study it in this light and
see how plain and practical the plan is
If this be so, W at IS the benefit of the
plan? Simply this: It viii redeem the
farmer from servitude. He need not
sell his grain till he wants to do So He
can borrow the money which he may
need direct from the government with

tgure 10, and which added to the regu.
lar demand, 4, makes the demand dur.
ing that time IA.
IF the volume remains the same
throughout the year, for nine months in
the year the relation of volume to de-
mand is as to 4, and during the other
three months it is as to IA
''Of course this is the widest range in
the relation of the volume, and it could
not in practice be confined to any such
lines. 1t must come and go gradually.
but the actual relative volume must be
and is reduced during the short term for
handling the crops to two-sevenths of
its average during part at least of the
balance of the year, but there are rea-
sons why this does not have effect to
the full extent.
''First-The contraction produces an
acceleration in the speed with which
the money circulates, and if it circu-
lates twice as fast, which is more than
probable, then on that account the
ratio of the volume is double and should
be represented by the figure during
the short period.
''Second-The inadequacy of the
volume, with the downward tendency in
the prices of products, awakens the
spirit of speculation, which floats a
substitute in shape of credit paper,
which circulates as money.
"lf the aggregate amount of credit
paper issued and circulated for the
purpose of handling the crop during the
short season will aggregate $500, 600, 900,
as usually estimated, then on the above
basis 1 should be added to the ratio
of volume, making it during the short
season, and making the ratio of volume
to demand throughout the year as fol-
lows: Long season, volume 9, demand
4; crop season, volume 5, demand ID.
This shows the actual deficiency or
contraction of the volume during the
short season equals two-tifths, or forty
per cent. There is an actual decline in
prices equal to forty per cent. during
the short season, thus proving the
demonstration correct

a dispatch from Abilene, Kansas,
dated April 2, says: 1.-The beet sugar
experiments which several hundred
farmers in Central Kansas had contem-
plated are knocked out by notice from
the State Agricultural college that DR..
Schetweiler had forfeited the conf
dence of the Institution, and that all
endorsements are withdrawn. Scheit-
weller spent week at Manhattan, then
went to Abilene and arranged for a
meeting there April 4th. He represent
ed that the Agricultural college was
working with him, and that German
syndicate with million dollars capital
would furnish the seed, and if success
full. build ten factories in the state. He
next went to Ealina. Soon afterward
inquiries were sent to the Agricultural
college. when the official notice men,
iioned was issued. 1t states that the
withdrawal is made because OF his per
sonal peculiarities. Letters from the
college say that his Incorporate habits
were so outrageous that the faculty was
disguised and practically kicked him
out. 1t is believed that he has simply
lived on the towns without having any
financial backing. The farmers OF
Dickinson county will have nothing
more to do with him or the expert.
