The New York bucket shop brokers are
flooding this section of the country with
circulars setting forth the fabulous sums
to be made by putting up margins on
wheat with them. Wheat they say is 60
ing to dollar bushel before spring and
now is the time to speculate.
These rascals will no doubt capture and
shear some lambs who are lucky enough
to have some spare cash-that class are
not numerous just now. No doubt this
kind of speculation" accounts for the
thousands ofdollars which left this neigh
borhood few years ago so mysteriously
that nobody could account for it, as there
were no evidence that any body was any
richer by the Speculation" which these
New York rascals are trying to coax our
people on to try their hand again on
wheat.

A writer for Coming Nation truly says:
"Why should our mines furnish silver
bullion to European capital kings at fifty
cents on the dollar? They buy it in the
bullion form at half price of coin, carry it
home, have it coined, so two dollars for
one comes out of the mint. No wonder
they tell the American people it would
ruin them to coin their own bullion. Per-
haps if I'VE were fools enough to do it they
would scare us to grind no more wheat
for fear of making wheat into -four would
starve u.s. One is as reasonable as the
other"

COUNT ITo's HEROIC WIFE.
Dragged by the Hair. She Would Not he
tray Her Lover.

Dragged by the Hair. She Would Not BE-
tray Her Lover.
OF Count Ito, the distinguished Japa-
nese statesman, Sir Edwin Arnold gives
this interesting incident: ~ sat at table
with the ex-premier and his wife and
children. The countess, quiet, gentle,
motherly and wearing spectacles, cary
ing the tai and the kamo with such
maGronly serenity, had yet history Of
romance and devotion which could
make the widest fictionist's fortune.
''Long ago in those dark and bloody
days when the minister was her lover
and fugitive from his enemies there
came a time when they had tracked
him to her house and had chosen band
OF Soshis to assassinate him. The noise
Of their clogs and the rafting of their
scabbards were heard, and the count,
trapped like stag in his mountain
pleasance, drew his Bizen blade and
prepared to die as japanese lord should
amid circle of dead foes. But while
he murmured 'Saganorep and knitted
his fingers around the shark skin hilt of
his sword that brave lady whose guest
! was whispered: DO not die There is
hope still Upon which she removed
the hibachi, or firebox, over which they
were sitting, and lifting up the mating
and planks beneath induced her lover to
conceal himself in the hollow space
which exists under the floor of all Jap
anese homes. The murderers broke into
the room, ferocious band, just as the
firebox had been replaced, and the
countess had assumed o position of nom
chalance.
"They demanded their victim, and
when she protested against their intru-
sion and babe them search il they
wanted Ito, the wretches dragged her
around the apartment by her long,
beautiful black hair, now touched with
silver, and grievously maltreated her,
but could not shake her resolute fid city.
Thanks to this, Count Ito, the hero Of
many another strange adventure, es-
capped from the chief peril of his career
and has lived to give his country a new
constitution and to be one Of the fore
most and best respected statesmen of
modern Japan.

BEST WAY TO INSURE VICTORY
IN 30.
A Plan That Deserves the Support of
Every Reformer In the
Country

A great national campaign cannot be
carried on without money. The Populists
are poor and even heroism cannot draw
from them sufficient donations to carry
on the needed work of education. In
order to raise 81, 900, 900 for the organiza-
ton of the reform hosts the PEOPLES
SUPPLY co. has been formed with head
quarters in Baltimore. Cleora Eugenia
Cooke, the I7-year-old Populist orator
who, according to the Review of Reviews
for December, helped cause the defeat of
Arthur P. German during the last CAM
paign in Maryland, is now starting on a
tour over the country, appealing to the
women for support. The Peoples Supply
Co. manufactures soap, starch, baking
powder. shoe backing and cigars. The
trade mark OF the Peoples Supply Co. is
the picture of Maryland's Joan of Arc,
Miss Cooke, and where there is trade
union label this is also added. Now, all
the profits on all the goods with the Joan
of Arc trade mark 60 to the building up
of the Peoples party. 1t is the method
by means of which 81 200, 900 can be rails
ed in two years. You can help the cause
in no better or more effective way than
by telling your grocer that you will &C
cept no other brands. 1.-two good Gus.
toners in any locality in America insist
on their grocer keeping these brands he
will do so. When once he has them on
hand he will sell to others. The articles
being the best of their kind on the mar
ket, those who buy once will continue to
buy and from the efforts of two good men
steady income will flow into the Popu-
list treasury.
All these goods are also wrapped in
gems of Populist literature, and every
wrapper is an educator and an agitstor.
If your grocer can't get our goods from
his wholesaler, tell him that card to the
Peoples Supply Co., Baltimore, will
reach us, and we will sell him goods
direct.
Our accounts are audited every three
months by committee of our national
leaders, headed by Congressman NJ. w.
Howard, of Alabama.
We want good agents and organizers in
every locality of the United States.

A TRAGIC COINCIDENCE,
RELATING TO THE SHOOTING OF Bill
LY BAUGHMAS LAST NIGHT.
After Hearing the Story of n Bungling su-
icIde, Hs Is Found in Another Room
With Bullet in His Tomplo--De-
mics Attempt at Suicide.

A crowd of men was gathered about
Wallace Wood in Christies saloon, at
l2Os Walnut street, early last night, lis
tening as he told how Sam Wilson had
murdered his mistress in hotel in Dali
las, Tex, ana then fired a bullet into his
own body. one of the men who seemed
to be greatly interested in the narrator's
story was billy" Baughman. When
Mr. Wood told how Wilson had placed
the pistol against his abdomen and
pulled the trigger, sending a bullet clean
through his body, Billy showed his dis
gust by saying that there was but one
place for a person 10 shoot himself,
He should have shot himself here
said Billy Baughman, tapping his right
temple with his foretinger.
Nobody disputed his words and the in
Cident was mOmentarily forgotten. But
it was viyidly recalled a few minutes
later when a pistol shot rang out from
a rear room Of the saloon. The crowd
rushed 10 the place from whence the
sound had issued and found Billy Baugh-
man lying across table with a gaping
hole In his right temple. A smoking re-
volver was still clutched in his right
hand
Saloonkeeper Christie took the weapon
away from him and the police ambu-
lance was summoned and Baughman
was taken 10 the Central police station.
An examination revealed that the
weapon had been held so close TO his
head that the flesh was powder burned,
The bullet had torn out a piece of the
scalp the size Of a half dollar. 1t had
then struck the skull and bounded on,
doing little damage. owing 10 the pistol
having been held at too great an angle
to send the bullet into the brain.
At the station Baughman denied that
he had tried TO end his life, HI said that
he had accidentally shot himself.
Baughman is well known 10 the sport
ing fraternity Of Kansas City, He is
married and at one time was worth
about S35. 900, but he followed the races,
where IL is said ne lost his money. His
right leg is paraly2ed and he has been
despondent for some time.
