Whole Town Burned Up.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, June Is
Early this morning the village OF
Augusta, located in the northeast
ern part of Calhoun county, and
having a population of 600, was
wiped out by fire. The fire
started about 2 o'clock in a
bakery from an overheated oven
and spread rapidly. Aid was asked
from the surrounding towns and
Kalamazoo and Battle Greek
sent engines and men, but de-
spite their efforts the flames
could not be subdued. Many
families have been rendered home
less. The flames spread with such
rapidity that the people had great
difficulty to escape. The loss on
buildings and merchandise will
aggregate $4,000.

ALMOST A PANIC
Is Caused IN Silver and Money Mat
tiers in Mexico-Remedy
Suggested.

CITY OF MEXICO, June 2S.-A
tremendous drop in the price of
silver, bringing exchange on New
York to 60, has created much dis
cussion among Mexican bankers,
who generally regard the present
situation as offered, great oppor-
tunity for the United States to
force bimetalism upon Europe. 1t
is suggested by one man
that the United States might
issue gold loan of $780,
100000 at four and half per
cent bonds, which it is said would
be Immediately taken up in
Europe where all other govern
ment securities would immediate.
ly drop heavily, not being able Ito
compete with American bonds.
Then according to the theory, gold
would flow into the United States
and in a short space of time BIZ
metalism would have to be adopt
ed by Europe, and the enormous
quantity of silver held by the
American treasury would
rise in value, when the
transaction would be immensely
profitable to us. 1t says here that
if nothing is done to bring about
bimetalism, all silver using coun-
tries will begin manufacturing for
themselves and the United States
and Europe will lose enormously
in their foreign trade. The United
States, it is urged, could afford to
undertake gigantic financial oper,
| alton, being able to feed it, and has
nova wonderful opportunity tC
settle the silver question perma-

A Grand Dukes Golden Wedding

BERLIN, Germany, June 2S.-A

that reason every European nation

Neutrality-suspicious.. The Grand
Duke is a member of the German
Federation and ruler over a little
state adjoining Prussia. Frederick
William, the Grand Duke, was
born October II, 1919, and was mar
ried June %, 1S43, to Princess Au-
gusta, daughter of the late Duke OF
Cambridge. A celebration is in
progress in London, as well as in

Condition of Cotton.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2S.-The
depressing effect of the present
condition of the cotton trade is
making itself felt in Frankfort and
Kensington. The managers of the
various mills are trying to avoid
the suspension of their entire
plants by laying off employees of
one room at time, hoping that
trade will take boom, but
two large plants in Frankfort
have finally decided to shut
down for a month at least and others
in Kensington, it is rumored, will
soon follow their example. The
mills first to succumb are the Cal
cutta mills and Berkshire mills,
both operated by the Berkshire
Mill company, and employing
about 600 hands.
