ROLL OF BILLS STOLEN.
Some One Got at Druggist Reynolds
Safe When Clerk Wasn't Looking.


Charles Ross. clerk in Alderman w. X.
Reynolds drug store, at the junction OF
Friendship and Point street is wonder
ing where a roh of bills has gone to-
Mr.. Ross says there are but two per-
sons that could possibly have stolen 1t.
One he says is an errand boy, and who
calls at the store almost daily. He came
Yesterday afternoon, and wanted some
nitric acid and some naphtha. To get
the former Mr.. Ross was obliged TO go
into the cellar, and leave the customer
in the.store alone.
The boy was i'm the'rear OF the store,
and stood near the safe, and man by
the name of Lyons, who sat near the front
door, says that while Mr.. Ross was down
stairs he heard rustling noise behlnd
him, but supposed II was Mr.. Ross
coming ZIP stairs, or closing the hatch
way. This noise, Mr.. Ross thinks, was
made by the boy, for from where he was
standing he could easily open the safe
door, and help himself to the money.
The boy was in the store again this
morning as usual.
The other suspected person is colored
woman and q regular customer. She
came in yesterday afternoon, and what
she wanted was In the cellar. MIR. Ross
says that he was IN the cellar fully five
minutes, and there was no one In the
store but the woman during his absence
These are all of the persons that h'
could call to mind this morning thai
could IN anyway get at the safe without
ms seeing them. lie did not miss th'
money until 730 last evening, and th'

Some Gold Statistics.

Since free coinage was suspended in
June, 1898, India has been unable to ex-
port enough products to pay her gold
interest, but has been compelled to
borrow 5O,OOO,OOO to pay interest on
her gold obligations during the last
wear, and she must continue to borrow
and increase her debts under the gold
standard. The United States has been
compelled to borrow $4,000, 900 by the
sale of $50, 100000 per cent bonds and
has s5O,OOO,OOO less in the treasury
than she had year ago under the
same tariff laws that were formerly in
force. 1t is impossible for the United
States to export enough products at
gold prices to pay interest on either
foreign or domestic debts. There is
no way OF avoiding a continuous In
crease of indebtedness but by the free
coinage of silver, and that can only be
had through the efforts of the Populist
party.-William NJ. Stewart.

HERE'S YOUR MULE.
Give the Bankers the Earth, or They'll
Take 1t.

Congress don't know where it is at.
But it still knows what the bankers
demand, and what congress must do,
or do nothing.
Congressman Crisp and Senator Cor
man have held little caucus and con.
elude that the only proposition which
the senate and the bankers will accept
must embrace the following features:
/. An issue of $500, 900, 900 of long
term, low rate bonds at 9]I per cent,
II possible, but not over per cent.
:, These bonds TO be sold to the
banks at not less than par and to be
the basis of circulation up to their par
value.
3. The legal tenders to be retired
and Cancelled as the bonds are put out
4. One fifth of this issue of $500, OOO,-
200 to be retained in the treasury and
made available for current expenses il
needed.
8. Silver to be bought aud coined at
the rate of $4,000, 900 year.
6. No bank notes to be issued of less
denomination than $50
Z. All denominations below $50 to
be silver certificates and silver.
S. Silver certificates to be redeem
able in silver.
There it is in a nut shell.
just what the Populists have told
you for years were the intentions Of
the money power.
Take each of those numbered items
INTO your mind separately, roll it over,
tear 1t apart, and analyze its inten-
tions.
Five hundred million dollars Of long
term bonds-sl5, 100000 a year in
terest, enough interest to support
10000 people in idleness, interest that
will take the labor of $4,000 men a
year at S1.jO day to pay-and all for
the benefit of the bankers,
Cancel the greenbacks and substi-
tute interest bearing bonds and wild
cat bank notes. Destroy the money
that saved the country in time
OF war, and turn the issuing
OF money over to the traitorous

and boarded up their gold to profit on
the nations necessities.

Big bank notes for the rich and small

LIVING IN A CHURCH.
A United States Senator Occupies One
as q Residence.


An ex-senator of the United States
lives in a t. urch in Washington, and
seems to like il. The peculiar thing
about It is that the ehapsa II in question
Is still in d cohdi ION which woals rer-
'iil' OF the words Of truth being Ut
tered every Sunday from the sacred
desk, and that the ex-senator is one Of
the wealthiest men in Washington,
and could afford TO dwell in the fne9t
mansion in the city, with all Tire r9-
finements of civilization. Everybody
knows the picturesque and vine-clad
little church on Massachusetts avenue,
at the intersection of Eighteenth and
P streets. Ex-senator Van Wyck, his
wife and young daughter have made it
their home.
Mrs. Van Wyck owns the property,
it having been bought by her husband
and presented to her as a little after
dinner favor the day they were leav-
ing Washington for Nebraska, at the
conclusion of the latter's senatorial
career. 1t has been the scene of High
Church Episcopal and Swedenborgian
services, but lately has been idle.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Van Wyck came
here to attend to repairs then in pro-
gress upon their own property, the
former suggested that they camp out
in their empty church. Mr.. Van
Wyck has horror of mounting steps,
and thought it would be great scheme
to live on the ground floor. So they
moved to the church and divided off
the auditorium by imaginary lines
into 3 rs:c;rglQr, bed rooms dining room
and picture gallery. The pictures
! they had stored away here in plenty,
and shopping expedition quickly pro-
vided the necessary furniture. The
vestry was turned into a kitchen, and
the shining pipes of the organ and
the decoration of the chancel helped
out the art gallery. Rugs, lamps.
small tables, easy chairs and sofas dot
the space all around, and papers and
books are in profusion.
With plenty of servants and every
comfort possible, the household spends
the days very enjoyably in its novel
quarters.

Piety In Practice.

An American hostess who wished
to make the best impression on an
English lord instructed. her old negro
butler to address their guest without
fail by his proper title. Uncle Josh,
the butler, had never heard Of any
lord save his Creator, and the lady's
feelings can better be imagined than
described when she heard Uncle Josh
say. my God! Have biscuit?"
The above deity proved to be per-
feet fraud, and when Uncle Josh was
told that his master had lost consider
able through him, he was heard to say,

al would go all the way to Isan-
dula," she said, Ito kiss his face Just
once before they lay him in his grave. u
She was like woman stricken with
death.
Captain Fleming came down in the
same sunny month of August, and he
talked for hours about one who had
been the hero Of the fight. He told a
hundred anecdotes of Colonel North,
of his courage, his bravery, his kind
ness; how he was beloved by his friends,
worshipped by the soldiers; how he
was always ready with kindly words
and generous help.
| She listened with a white, set face:
and spoke no word.
IL do not believe" said CAPTAIN
Fleming, "that he had blot in his
life"
But we two women, who knew
what a dark and terrible blot there
had been, said nothing.
Lady Latimer was like a woman
turned into stone.
Another great event happened in
that month of August.
Lord Latimer died quite suddenly.
He had been unusually irritable, and
complained of not being well, but
no one suspected that he was worse
than usual. His valet, going to wake
him one morning, found him dead in
his bed, and the doctor said he had
been dead some hours. There was no
need for any inquest; he had died
from heart disease from which he had
suffered many years.
1t was terrible blow to Lady Lati-
mer; not that she loved him but that
It brought her sin and her sorrow so
torcibly to her mind.
"How strange it seems that he
should have died first" she said to me
one day. "Oh, Audrey" God has
punished my sim"
Then Lionel Fleming became Lord
Latimer, and master of LOTIONS GRAY.
The old lord had left his wife a large
fortune.
81 shall sperd it all in charity she
said to me. There is but one interest.
one pleasure in life left, and that is
doing good to others"
And it was perfectly true. If ever
any woman tried to make up for a sin
by charity and good deeds, Lady Lati-
mer did.
The new Lord Latimer begged of us
to remain at LOTIONS Cray for some few
months. He did not want to take DOS
ession until the spring of the year,
and he prayed lis to remain there
Lady Latimer consented, and we lived
there in peace and secluSiOn until the
Christmas snow was on the ground
again and the New Year coming round.

Political Mathematlcs.

Perry Engle has at last gotten his
paper, the Iowa Referendum, admitted
to the mails as second class matter
The first number sent to the third as
sistant postmaster-general contained
a cartoon showing John Sherman as
school teacher and Grover Cleveland as
school boy, and the lesson on the black
board reads:
20. If there are 17j silver congress
men, how many Wall street pies and
federal offices will it require to pass
unconditional repeal in the house?"
20. If fifty United States senators
favor free coinage, how much pie and
Office will be necessary to pass uncon-
ditional repeal in the senator"
EXAMPLE,
Fifty silver senators plus IT'S silver
congressman equal free coinage law.
But fifty silver senators and rs sill
yer congressman, divided by pie and
patronage, equal unconditional repeal
Sell"
The objection to the paper by the
department was the fir ivilous one that
the price was nominal-too cheap. The
Referendum, commenting on its adj
mission after ten months delay, says.
No, it was not the nominal price, but
in our opinion it was tie cut OF the big
necked fraud taking lessons from John
Sherman on the financial question.
Such partisan tyranny would disgrace
the bloody pages of the history of any
monarch. We raised our subscription
price, and now Clevelands pie eater
has admitted the paper to the mails. -
