old bachelor about 60 years old, living
alone on his 40-acre farm in Rutland
township, about eight miles from the
city, was found cruelty murdered in
his house Sunday morning about IL
o'clock, everything giving evidence of
terrible struggle between the muir

The deed was a horrible one. The
crime was committed with an ak, the
blade of which was buried deep into
the neck of the victim, while the skull
just above the eye was crushed in with
the butt of the ak.
The discovery of the crime was made
by neighbor by the name of Cunning,
living about a quarter of mile distant.

Defend the Homes Of America.

Wherever the people had an oppor-
tunity to speak on Nov. they con-
demned free trade. Wherever the
voice of American citizenship was per-
mitted to make itself heard it uttered
an emphatic protest against the crime
and folly of striking down American
industry to serve the greed of foreign
monopolists. The mandate of the six
great commonwealth of New York,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jer-
sey, Ohio and Iowa was expressed in
unmistakable terms. Last year New
York voted for the Democratic national

Immediately succeeding the occupancy
by Mr.. Cleveland of the presidential
chair the decrease in the volume of
trade throughout the country was $148,-

during June it fell off by $500, 900, 900,
during July about $500, 600, 900, dur
ing August by 81, 1877, 900, 900, during
September by 81, 46S, 600, 600, until the
climax was reached last month, Octo-
Der. when the loss of business through
out the country aggregated 81, 4S7, 000,-

been an aggregate net loss in the vol
ume of trade throughout the country of
almost SO, 700, 900, 600 in those cities
alone that reported their bank clear
ings to Bradstreet's. Five billion dol
lars less money circulated in the ordi-

in the employment of labor, in the de-
mand for goods, all of which works

this is what the present administration
has done to the country with its threat
of free trade. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that there was an uprising Of
the people last election. The condition
confronting them has proved to be vastly
different from the ante-election theory

is found in the clearing house returns

The Fruits of Protection.

The wealth of the United States was
in 1860 $40, 900, 900, 900, one-half Of
which was destroyed during the civil
war. In June, 1887, our wealth touch
ed the imperial figures of $50, 000,-
600, 900, earning 81, 900, 900 each day.
In 1860 the wealth of the United
States was $415 per capita; in 1887,
$1,000 per capita. In these years of
protection the United States has earn
ed over one-half of the sum added to the
worlds wealth during that time. We
nearly equal Great Britain in the pro
duction of iron and excel her in the
production of steel. In 1860 manufac-
lures in the United States amounted to
$1,000, 600, 900; in 1887 to 81, 600, 000,-
900. Our total industries now amount
to Gil, 900, 900, 600. The western states
manufactured nearly as much in 1897
as the whole country in 1860. The
southern states alone now make 10 per
cent more pig iron than was made in
the United States in 1860. The an
nual product of the United States ex-
ceeds that of England by more than one
half, and our trade is double that of
England. England has increased her
commerce less. than six times since
1850; the United States has increased
her commerce more than six times.
While England has increased her ex-
port trade four times, the exports Of the
United States have increased eight
times. In these years, from the third
producing power, we have risen to the
first. Up to 1860 the entire exports of
the United States were $4,000, 600, 900;
since then they have amounted to $14,-
600, 900, 900.

BELLEVUE SCORCHED
THE FIRE FIEND GETS IN ITS
WORK.

Three Men Severely Injured While Fight
ing the Flames-Timeiy Assistance from
Battle Creek and Charlotte Saves the
Town From Total Annihilation--rhe
Losses Will Aggregate About 800, 900.
BELLEVUE, Jan. 1O.--Fire scourged
Bellevue Tuesday night. Nearly the
entire business section of the town is in
ashes with losses aggregating over
100000. Valuable stocks have been
completely ruined by water. Three
men were severely injured in fighting
the flames and but for timely and
heroic assistance from the fremen of
Battle Creek and Charlotte the entire
town would have been wiped out.
The following are the individual
losses as near as can be ascertained:
A. w. Barnes wagon shop, building
and contents, $1,000: e. =. Stevens,
blacksmith, 500; Masonic lodge, 81 900:
Sawyer d Ravens, hardware, $40, 600;
Evans & Hall, $4,000; II. j. Houston.
Phelps, 81 500; Il. j. Hollands, $1,000;
Evans Opera House, 5000; Evans 81
Hare, SO, 500; j. Taylor, $4,000; w. ii.
Eldred, $500; John Markham, $500;
Kimberley's general store, 81 100.
In fighting the flames three men were
injured severely and number suffered
minor burns and bruises. The more
seriously hurt are:
WILLIAM pickle, Charlotte fireman,
fell from ladder.
FRED WILSON, fell from Evans build
ing
RALPH WALKER, injured by fall.
The fire started about dusk in Robin
sons foundry building. where a large
quantity of hay had been stored. 1t
spread with great rapidity and was
quickly beyond control.
Aid was summoned from Battle Creek
and Charlotte, and to the valuable as
sistance rendered by the fire depart
ments of those cities the salvation Of
what remains of the town is due. The
Battle Greek fire department made the
run Of IL miles in IL minutes. Char
lotte came over distance of IL miles
in II minutes.
Thousands Of dollars worth of goods
were removed into the middle of the
street and before they could be carried
away they were set on fire by the awful
heat that came from the burning oil in
Sawyers d Havens' hardware store.
Bellevue's only fire protection is a
hand engine, and this was little more
than useless. The flames spread along
one side of the main street, destroying
in its course tine Holland, Stevens,
Barnes. Evans, Sawyer 81 Evans. Wat
kins and Van buildings. Then they
spread across the street and burned the
dry goods stock Of Frank Phelps, Tay-
lor's saloon, Kimberley's general store
and Eldred's harness shop
At the Phelps store the firemen be-
gan to make progress against the flames
and the fire was practically under con-
troll though more from lack of material
than anything else.
1t was nearly IL o'clock before the
firemen finally called the fire out and
the Charlotte and Battle Creek forces
went back home.
Many of the burned buildings were
uninsured owing to the high rates and
the losses will in nearly all cases be
very severely felt.
