United States land office in this city

demption of tho certificates. The sec
ond section provides that the remainder
of the silver bullion purchased under
the Sherman act shall be coined as fast

held for the redemption of treasury
notes issued for it's purchase. The GER
tifcates are to be cancelled as fast as
the silver is coined, and silver certif-
Gates may be issued on such coin. Mr..

A Chicago Man Shot Two Women and
Killed Himself.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-Walter Phipps
shot and dangerously wounded Mrs
James Mccormick and Elma Erickson
on State street and then committed
suicide. Phipps had been on a spree
and entered the room where Miss Erik
son was putting things to order. What
led to the tragedy is unknown. A pis-
toll sdot was heard and the scream of
the girl. Mrs. Mccormick rushed in
and found the girl on the floor with a
bnllet hole in her head. Phipps was
standing over her. He fired at Mrs.
Mccormick, hitting her in the head
also. He then ran down the stairs and
fired at the barkeeper, and then shot
himself dead. 1t is believed both
women will die.

OKLAHOMA DESPERATE AT LIBERTY
Notorious Young Murderer Escapes from
Jail After Being Convicted.

NObOfiodS Escapes
Jail After Being Convicted.
WICHITA, Kas., Jan. 22.-Clyde Mat
tox, the notorious Oklahoma desperate
who has been tried for murder four
times and who was found guilty in the
federal court of the murder of John
Mullen in Oklahoma City four years
ago, had not been returned to Jail over
two hours before he had cut his way
through the iron bars of third-story
window and made good his escape. A
large posse is securing the town and
surrounding country, but without hope
of catching the young outlaw, who was
evidently aided by friends on the out
side and provided with ample means of
escape. Mattox, naturally desperate,
was made more desperate still by his
conviction, and the chances are he will
never be taken alive.

AGAINST NEW BONDS
Active Opposition Will Be De-
veloped in Congress.
K OF PEOPLE TO FIGHT 1T
There Is Already Too Much silver in the
Treasury to Suit Secretary Carlisle,
Hence the Bonds.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia strong senti-
ment is expressed among the silver
leaders of the house against the "gold
clause" in Secretary Carlisle's notice
of the bond sale. Representative Bland
of Missouri says: 1.-The standard silver
dollar is full legal tender and it can be
offered and received in payment of
these bonds. The act under which the
bonds are issued provides that they
shall be payable in coin. At the time
of the act the standard silver dollar
was full legal tender, so it must be in
Guided in the meaning of the word
COIN"
Some anti-silver men take issue with
Bland on this point. They say bonds
were issued under the resumption act
of 1875, which provides that bonds
should be sold for ''coin," but they
point out that before this, in 1878, sill
yer was demonetized so that it could
not be included in the meaning of the
word "coin." Aside from the legality
of the gold clause silver men say it is
against public policy to make a public
discrimination against one of the money
metals now in use, and the effect of the
secretary's action is to send gold coin
TO premium and disturb the parity be-
tween gold and silver coins.
Representative Tracey of New York,
one of the anti-silver leaders of the
house, said: "Secretary Carlisle wants
no more silver, for he already has in
the treasury much more than he wants.
What is needed is gold. 1t is fortunate
under these circumstances that the law
allows him TO secure the particular
metal he wants. While the bonds are
payable in gold, yet in selling them the
secretary has authority to secure pay
ment in any class of coin he needs, as
the express purpose of that law was to
give the means of meeting the needs of
the treasury"
Some treasury officials have a theory
which has been advanced several times
heretofore and which is said to be
shared by some of those who have a
hand in directing the affairs of the de-
partment, that at this time there actu-
ally exist no funds that can be properly
termed ''gold reserve" The so-called
gold reserve, which was created by Sec.
rotary Sherman under the act of 1875,
has been entirely wiped out by the re-
demption Of the United States notes
and treasury notes, for which purpose
it was originally created. The redemp-
ton of treasury notes alone, it is said,
has been sufficiently large to wipe out
the gold reserve, and the redemptions
of United States and treasury notes to-
gether up to a recent period aggre-
gated S149, coo, 900. This vast amount
| of notes was not retired, but reissued.
If this theory were carried to 4 legiti
mate conclusion it is held that the gov
eminent has not been using the gold re-
serve for the payment of current ex
penditures, but has been merely draw
ing on its stock assets, represented by
gold. 1t is said certain figures bearing
out the deduction above referred tC
have been prepared for the use of Sec
rotary Carlisle and he will shortly issue
a statement on the subject.

CAUGHT IN A DIAMOND swlNDLE.
Tiffany & Co. Contributed to the $4,000
Worth of Jewels Taken by Barth.

Worth OF Jewels Taken by Bsrth.
LOUISVILLE, Jan. 21.-The diamond
swindle which was perpetrated in New
Albany upon several eastern jewelry
firms proves to have been much more
extensive than was supposed, and it is
now thought the alleged Mr.. Barth,
who secured the jewels, carried away
not less than $4,000 worth of property,
which can be sold anywhere. The po-
lice authorities have not been able as
yet to find the slightest clew to the
identity of the thieves, although they
have done everything that could be
done to recover the property. 1t has
been learned that Tiffany & Co. of New
York lost $1,000 worth of diamonds in
exactly the same manner as Ball & Co.
had lost theirs.

Grafton of the agricultural bodies of the

in its legislative, executive and judicial
departments. One of the specified OBJ
iects of the corporation is to promote
social harmony and entertainment tor
the families of isolated farmers.
The following were appointed com
mittee TO hasten the adoption of the
plans by the other orders; E. J. Bye,
West Branch, Iowa; Milton George,
Chicago; Wells Purvis, Cardington, o.
Secretary of Agriculture Morton came
in Cor considerable adverse criticism,
the speakers saying he is looking for
political preferment, caring little fol-
the interests of farmers.

A Serious COMPLAINT.

Some time ago we called atten.
ton to the fact that complaints were
made by some Of our merchants in
regard to favoritism shown by some
Of the ferry employees to merchants
who are stockholders in tho com.
pany and who are doing business in
this city. Instead of removing
the cause for the complaint, the mat.
ter has grown and become more So
rieus. One of the merchants, MIR.
Ed Hogg, has complained that he
is constantly being fought in his
business by ferry employees and who
send customers to other lumber
yards owned by stockholders of the
ferry company. lie clnims that he
has called the attention of the
stockholders and employees of the
ferry to the fact that efforts are
constantly being made by them to
buy lumber elsewhere And on one
occasion the employee in question
said the only way in which he could
gain tho favor of the employees was
to buy stock in the ferry, in which
event they will quit "roasting"
him. This, if true, is a very seri-
GUS matter and should not be toler-
ated by the ferry company. The
ferry is a common carrier, operated
by public license to do a ferry
business for the good Of the whole
people,
Mr.. Hogg is ono of the large
shippers on tho c. q A. road, and
hence n good patron of the ferry
company. As a matter Of fact, he
is tho first lumber merchant who
has in recent years bought lumber
by the car load and caused it to be
brought across the river on the ferry,
and he Is certainly entitled to fair
dealing by the corporation, for that
reason, if for no other. Conduct
of this kind can result in nothing
but appropriately for the present
transportation company, and should
be stopped.
