MURDERED BY A BURGLAR.
A Pawnbroker of San Antonio Killed
in His Hallway.

San Antonio, Tex, Oct 10-Marcus
Koenigheim, one of the Oldest, wealthiest
and most highly respected Jewish citizens
of San Antonio, was murdered and robbed
some time last night, his dead body being
found at o'clock this morning with
bullet hole through the head, lying in the
hall at the front of the stairs of his resi-
dence.
There is a deep mystery surrounding
the crime Mr.. Koenigheim has been for
many years one of the most prominent
jewellers and pawnbrokers of the city.
In the back part of the lower hall of his
residence he had a large iron safe,
which was opened with a key. In this
safe he had a large stock of
money and jewelry, amounting in value
to fully S25, 900 He and his family spent
the evening with friends, returning home
at u o'clock. His bed was placed down
on the balcony, all of the other members
of the family sleeping on the next floor
The only person down stairs was young
cotton buyer named Hirsch, who occupied
the room adjoining the nall in which the
murder occurred.
NO ONE HEARD THE SHOT.
This man, Hirsch and several members
of the family state that they heard quite
a noise but no pistol shots about 3 O'Clock
last night, but none of them made any
investigations. The body was discovered
by Mrs Koenigheim at daylight this
morning. The safe was open and rifed
of all the money and valuables, except a
pair of gold bracelets, which were an
heirloom of the family. The burglar had
entered by way of the dining room win
dow and proceeded up stairs, had secured
Mr.. Kocnigheim's trousers, from which
he took the kew to the safe and a COnsid-
erable sum of money 1t is supposed that
Mr. Koenigheim heard the noise and made
a move to investigate, when he met with
his death. 1t is believed the crime was
committed by some one thoroughly famil-
lar with the premises.

POPULlST MONETARY SYSTEM.

Gold, Silver and Paper None of Them Re-
deemable In the Other.
A. j. Cunningham, of Martin county,
Ind. writes:
ITO settle a dispute, what kind of a
monetary system does the peoples
party propose? Is it in favor Of max
ing government paper money that shall
be irredeemable, but that is to be re-
ceived back by the government in reve-
nues?"
Of course the only authentic answer
that can be given to our esteemed cor
respondent is a reference to the peoples
party national platform; but we sup
pose what is desired is the opinion of
the Progressive Farmer on the subject.
As we understand it, the peoples
party proposes that the government
alone shall issue the money, whether
metal or paper; that this money shall
be full and equal legal tender, each
dollar fully capable of performing any
money function of which any other
dollar is capable; that this money
shall all be redeemable, equally re-
deemable, at the pleasure of the hold
er, not necessarily in some other kind
of money, but in whatever substance
any person may desire to exchange for
it, and by the municipal, county, state
and national governments in taxes and
revenues-in all obligations the citizens
may be placed under to these govern
ments, or these different branches of
government to each other; and that
the amount of this money kept in cir
culation shall be regulated by law at a
fixed sum, not to be less than $50 per
capita.
Of this system we invite the closest
scrutiny, and we defy the world and
John Sherman to show wherein it
would not be good, safe and sound in
a stable government like ours, perfect
ly equitable to all, insuring stability of
prices, giving everybody chance, and
guaranteeing general prosperity. 1t
would knock out plutocracy, and the
money hoarder, cornerer and Spectator
would find his vocation gone. And so
would the note, bond and mortgage
leeeh. Progressive Farmer.
