; Much to his surprise and delight
Gen. Z. w. Price, OF three miles
south Of KeytesvilIe. recovered q
hunting case silver watch a few days
ego that he lost in 1856 while rid
ing through the woods with his ia
ther in Law. Mr.. Austin Bradford. on
what 10 known as the farm OF Coll
Bros, In Missouri township.
While plowing one day last week q
negro boy by the name OF Basey
pIowed mp the watch at or near
where it was Iost. and a. a. W..
r" vas engraved ON the front side
of the case there was no trouble in
learning who the owner OF the long
lost timepiece was.
Gen. Price says that at the time
he lost the watch large cottonwood
trees were growing on the land,
which is now In q high state oil culti-
vation.
He remembers to have looked to
go What time It was as he was rid
ing through the woods. and says
that when he got home his watch
WAS gone
He purchased 1t Of q Mr.. Gregory,
an o,d time isweler Of Brunswick.
OF co urse after being lost and out
OF doors all these years the works ol
the watch were rendered valueless,
but the case js nearly or quite as
good as new.
Cen. Price highly prizes the "re-
mains" OF his chronomoter, and will

1t will be remembered by those
Who heard his speech at the court
house, in Keytesville. just before the
election, that Mr.. Loomis. the Re
publican candidate for congress, told
the audience that farmers. under the
late revenue Law enacted by q
Democratic congress. could not sell
their tobacco except to licensed
dealers. We thought at the time
that Mr.. Loomis was in error. and
have since found abundant proof oil
his mistake. The acting commis-
sioner. at Washington, d. C, wrote
alsster to Judge Speck. collector OF
the First Missouri district. on this
Ito farmers) important subject.
Not only can the tobacco-grower
dispose OF his leaf tobacco, that is
hanging up or is bulked down In his
barn, TO consumers. but he can also
remove it from hogsheads. In which
he may have priced it 10 preserve it,
and cell in the hand In quantities to
suit the consumer.
The fact that such leaftobaeco has
been priced does not make it manu-
iactured tobacco.
Mr.. Loomis should learn bis
"lssson" better before he runs foI
congress again.

paying expenses; these will be worth a
million dollars. 1t will double real estate
in all the mining country
''Will it change the price of gold?'
asked. viii gold purchase more then
than now?"
"Oh, no." they all said; "gold will pur-
chase the same"
win meal and flour and cotton and
pork go up?"
'Of course, not-only commercial sill.
yer; that will double in value"
But coined silver will not change in
value?" / suggested.
mo, that is the same as gold now.
Only uncoined commercial silver will go
up" they said.
Now. what has the farmer been sell
ing his corn, hogs, and cotton for?'
asked.
Why. for coined silver, as good as
gold"
Then free coinage will not help the
farmers, will it?" 1 asked.
The free coiners were silent They
knew free coinage will simply double the
wealth of the miner.
When asked one of the biggest miners
in Helena If free coinage would help him,
his eyes glistened, his hands went up,
and he exclaimed:
Free coinage would make this mine.
now not paying one cent worth mill
ion dollarsp'
Would you open more mines?"I asked.
mo, sir, l wouldn't. I'D have better
thing than that. Free coinage means
that a piece of silver as big as a Next
can dollar now worth so cents, would be
worth 81, don't it?'
Yes ! said.
"Well, the world is full Of ffty-cent
dollars. There is 5000, 100000 worth of
commercial silver in the world. Japan has
70.OOC0O0 in silver yems, each worth so
cents. China has 100000 such dollars
and not a cent of gold. Mexico is loaded
with them. DO you know what l would
do? Why I'd go to Mexico and get a
tratnload of Mexican ffty-cent dol
lars, and take them to our mint, and dou-
bic my money. Why, loo, 600, 900 people In
this world are using ffty-csnt silver dol
lars. India has 5000. OO0000fA SILVER and no
gold at all. Our government would have
to raise the value of all the silver all
over the world, before free coinage would
be a success"
Gould we do that?" asked. with only
$9OOO0oOO in gold in the treasury, and that
borrowed from England, at per cent. %
NO, said the miner. but l wish we
could. The attempt at free coinage would
bankrupt our country in an hour and
make us the laughing-stock of Europe"
Mr.. Editor, the cry is. more silver"
wen, am DlmetalliSt. l would go on
coming all the silver we need, just as we
have always done.
How much silver and gold have. we
coined?
Just 1926, 100000 in gold, and s625 900, 900
in silver.
Where is our gold?
Why, it is all in circulation, and we
have borrowed $6O,OOO,OOO from Europe, be-
sides.
Where is our silver.
Why, $5OS, 100000 lies idle in the treasury
1t is corroding and losing interest to the
government, and declining in value Car
Isle will pay the freight on silver at any
time if the people will take it.
How much silver is in circulation?
Just $560000O0. That is all the people
want They use paper and gold. If the
free coiners want more silver why don t
they go to the treasury and get 1t?

About Free Coinage and the Plans
of Silver Miners.

of Silver Miners.
New York June 2-Editor Morning
New: I see the south is full of
free silverites. Why is this, when ali
the great representative southern
newspapers are sound and true
to a good currency? am afraid you have
not placed the question plainly before the
people.
DO they know that there is S50s, 900 900
worth of idle silver resting in the treasury
to-day? Do they know mat we have
coined as much silver as gold? Do they
know that we have as much silver on hand
to-day kicked back into the treasury as
all the three great nations, England,
France and Germany? Can they under
stand that we have coined too much sill.
YER? Can't they see that if we had coined
gold in place of this sos 900, 900 worth of
rusting silver that we would be better off ?
We have coined 50 for every man in the
nation, but the people will not use but e5
cents. They turn their back on what sill
yer we have coined. Why coin more when
no one wants it?
DO your people know what free coinage
really means?
When asked sibley and Weaver, in
the presence Of the Denver bankers, what
they meant by free coinage, they said:
1--WE mean by free coinage that any
man on earth can take a piece of silver
intrlnsically worth 80 cents to our mint

A Bright STAR
A SKETCH OF THE MAN WHO LED
MARY ANDERSON TO FAME.
Also Played Leading Roles with Booth,
Barrett and Thorne.


Barrett and Thorne.
(From the 81. Louis Chronicle.)
One of the most conspicuous figures in the
Stageland of America to-day is John w.
Norton. Born in the seventh ward of New
York City forty-six years ago, the friends
of his youth were Thomas w. Keene and
Frank Chanfrau. We find Ketne a star at
the age of % and Norton in the flower of
early manhood, the leading man for Edwin
Booth at the famous Winter Garden Thea
tire. He was starred with Lawrence Bar
rett early in the 70s, and alternated the
leading roles with Charles Thorne at the
Variety Theatre in New Orleans. Early in
the Centennial year, in Louisville, Norton
met our Mary Anderson, then fair young
girl who aspired for stage fame, took her
under his guidance and as everybody knows
led her to fame. Mr.. Norton is now the
proprietor of the Grand Opera House in. St.
Louis, the Du Quesne Theatre, Pittsburg
and one of the stockholders in the American
Extravaganza Company.
"You have known me for five years, and
know how l have suffered with rheuma-
tism" said the genial manager to a Chronicle
reporter. "Why during the summer of 1898
/ was on my back at the Mullanphy Hos
pital, in this city, four weeks. l was put
on the old system of dieting, with view to
clearing those acidulous properties in my
blood left the hospital feeling stronger,
but the first damp weather brought with
it those excruciating pains in the legs and
back. 1t was the same old trouble.
After sitting down for stretch of five
minutes, the pains screwed my legs into .
knot when l arose, and hobbled as pain
fully as ever"
One afternoon early in June he hobbled
into his New York Office On Broadway and
encountered his business manager, George
McManus, who had also been a rheumatic
sufferer for two years. Norton was surpris-
ed that McManus had discarded his cane.
"Who cured you ?" he asked. Toured my
self" replied McManus, with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills"
al was encouraged by Mr.. McManus' cure
and as a last resort tried Pink Pills myself
After had taken my first box of Pink Pills,
it struck me that the pains were less trouble
some. / tried another box, and began al
most unconsciously to have faith in the Pink
Pills. / improved so rapidly that l could
rise after sitting at my desk for an hour and
the twinges of rheumatism that accompa-
MED my rising were so mild that scarcely
noticed them. During the past two weeks,
we have had much rainy weather in st.
Louis. But the dampness has not had the
slightest effect in bringing back the rheuma-
tism, which / consider a sufficient and re-
liable test of the efficacy Of Pink Pills. l
NAV also say that the Pink Pills have acted
as tonic on my stomach, which thought
was well nigh destroyed by the thousand
and one alleged remedies consumed IN the
past i've years" s~-Af4-@ ,
