Death from Homesickuess

Sioux City, Ia, Aug. I3.-Local
physicians declare that Edward
Archer, who died recently at the
Samaritan'S hospital in this city,
was a victim Of inconsistencies
He had had trouble with his faith
er, a wealthy farmer and stock
raiser near Ponca, Neb., and had
finally been sent here with money
to engage in the commission bus
mess, being forbidden to ever
show his face at home again. At
first he seemed to enjoy himself,
but as the months passed he be-
gan to long for home and at
length wrote to his father, asking
pardon if he had done wrong, and
begging to be taken back. The
old man was obdurate and refus-
ed even tc Swer the letter.
Finding 1t he had nothing to
hope for, Archer began to decline
gradually in health, and was fin
ally taken to the hospital. The
doctors could find nothing the
matter with him physically and
at first thought his mind was
affected. He was perfectly ra-
tional, however, and declared
that if he could only return home
he woI d be better at once. A
short time before his death he
began to see images Of his friends
end relatives and home scenes
about the bed. He realized fully
that they were only imaginary
and at no time gave the slightest
indication Of an unbalanced mind.
His father, on being informed
of the young mans condition,
wrote to have him sent home.
His letter reached Sioux City on
ly a few hours after his son S
death.

templated, though we question the
propriety of charging an admission fee
of ten cents on LoriSdays. Hope

Is Elmer Ferguson in Cuba?

The st. Louis Chronicle Of the l4th
inst, has the following to say upon
til" subject:
After spending week in st. Louis
devoted to a search for clews that
might dispel the mystery surrounding
the disappearance Of his brother,
Elmer, E. G. Ferguson returned Mon
day to his home in Wellington.
Before leaving he said to friend:
II am satisfied that Elmer has gone
to Cuba, and that it would be useless
to seek him until he reveals his exact
whereabouts. / do not know what
motives should impel him to such a
course"
Elmer evinced great interest in the
pending revolutionary struggle In
Cuba. A month ago he purchased a
Spanish grammar and lexicon, and
since then, until his departure, his
conversations on the road were inter.
larded with such expressions as Isl
senor," "adiOs," 'muy buen0" and
"bueno noche." These facts, tOgeth'
er with the circumstance that Elmer
frequently expressed a desire to en-
gage in military capacity in some
popular struggle for liberty, seem tC
form the basis for his older brothers
theory.
Superintendent Simpson Of the
Wells Fargo Company SAYS he can moi
conjecture Elmer's destination, but
expressed the opinion Tuesday that
horse racing is at the llt.Om.
Elmer went out to the track the
day he was paid, said Simpson, Tues
day, and went broke" We know
| that and also discovered that he wa
a frequent visitor to the tracks.

About Silver and Gold.
Kansas City Journal.

Kansas City Journal.
The amount of gold produced
in the world from 1893 to 1904,
as taken from the most authentic
statistics, was s., 327,92o }.
Of silver during the same period,
5000, 4o3,Soo-or more than
double as much of gold.
According - the same authori-
ty OF the amount Of these metals
now existing as money, about 20
per cent Of the worlds product Of
gold is coined, and about 4I per
cent of silver.
Then 90 per cent Of the above
product Of gold would be $780,
S43, sos in coin, and al per cent
Of silver would give $4,000, u.s.
35S in silver coins. Adding the
two together and we have $3,I27,-
569, I26.
The population of the world in
1904 according to. Malte-Brun
was $64o,ooo,Ooo. Now by d.
viding this into the total volume
Of money we have 4.S77-or four
dollars and eighty-seven cents
and seven mills for each inhabit-
ant.
Now We take the same authori-
ty and that Of the United States
mint, and find the total product
from 1892 to 1892 to be: OF gold,
So, 2o4, 1903, 900, and of silver,
So, I76,o72,ooo. Coin DO per cent
of gold and we have $3,77Se7o,-
$50; and al per cent Of silver
gives $500, ISo, $40 in coin, or
both together gives US 1885,
I6S, 900. Next, divide this by
the present population Of the
globe, as estimated at I, 500, ooo,-
900, and it makes the capita
$500, or just Is cents more than
in 1904. Now demonetize silver
throughout the world and the
money left per capita would be
$2.5I.
But the man who gets tired
when he thinks asks: what of
all these figures, and what is their
use" Only this, the people rare
ly ever see figures, and rarer still
understand them, but the bank
ers and money loaners who make
their millions by studying figures
have carefully gone over them
and know what $2.5I per capita
Of money in the world as compar-
ed with $500 means. To them
it means doubling the property
their gold represents.
| John Stuart Mill understood eX-
actly what these people now I'M
derstand, and writes it down in
in his work on political economy:
That an increase in the quantity
of money raises prices, and a d.
minution lowers them, is
the most Elementary proposition
in the t Dry Of currency, and
without We should have no key
to any OF lie Others"
Now, what is. the effect Of a
gold basis3 The one house of
Rothschild is said to control
1000 million dollars, and Mr..
Gladstone said that England had
1000 millions owing her by the
rest Of the world. Here are 3, 600
millions Of this gold supply own
ed by one creditor nation and
one banking house-or nearly the
whole coined supply Of gold.
We do not care here to COM
ment on these figures. If any in
telligent American can look at
them and rest easy under the
efforts now making to fasten the
productive energy Of this nation
to such a power, we do not envy
him.

Detroit MICH, June 25.-The inaugural

not much more than galloping when
the horses turned into the stretch for
the finish Maurice came very fast, but
could not reach Lissak, who passed I'M
der the wire a winner by half length
in 2Sgk Maurice was four lengths ahead
of Diggs, who was five lengths in adj

A wHIRL AMONG THE WHEELS.
SO-CaIled Amateur Riders Put In the
PrOfessIOnaI Ranks,

Philadelphia, June 25.-There was con-
siderable excitement in cycling circles to-
day. The story of the suspension of San
ger and Simms was confirmed, and those
two noted riders will probably soon be rid
ing in the professional class. Both have
expressed their Willingness to ride as pro-
fessionals, and they probably only want
sufficient inducements to cause them to
jump into the professional ranks. An in
dication of this state of affairs was shown
by dispatches which the Pennsylvania BIZ
cycle Club has received, asking them If
they would give $3.50 for race between
Sanger, Tyler and Johnson. The applica-
ton came from the first two men, as John
son is already in the cash class.
Another ripple was added to the excite
ment later in the day when the news
was circulated that Chairman Gideon
had swung his ak among the class A men
and that number of heads had dropped
into the class B basket. The men affected
are Church, Rumford, Buzzard and Man
ming. The first of these was transferred
for riding in a trade team and the other
three for a little bit of commission rid
ing at Tioga last Saturday afternoon.
1t is likely that all of these men will
ride as professionals hereafter, as there
will be very few class B races to ride In
which cash prizes are apt to be numerous.
One or two of them have already entered
for the professional events.
Probably the greatest surprise OF the
dav. however, was the statement that
the noted old pure amateur road rider.
Frank Dampman, had voluntarily Joined
the professional ranks. Dampman has
long been a shining light among the local

CORNELL ON THE WATER.
They Row over the Course mt Forty
Strokes to the Minute.

London, June 25.-The weather was clear
and the wind was blowing moderately from
the north when the Cornell crew, at the
usual hour got their boat afioat this morn
ing. They worked very steadily, going to
Fawley court and back at a 45-stroke.
Afterward they went to the end of the
course and came back to Fawley, where
they turned, doing the entire distance
without stopping. and rowing at the rate
of forty strokes to the minute. At this
stroke they did not put clear water be-
tween their boat and the clinker-b6ilt boat
with sliding seats and fixed rowlocks in
which the spare men rowed, though the
latter rowed a much slower stroke. Hast
ings and Cox rowed a longer stroke than
the others. a great deal after the English
style.
