MONOPOLY MILLDEW,
MORE EVIDENCES OF REPUBLI-
CAN PROSPERITY AND THE
GOLD STANDARD,
(By Paul

(By Paul Fontaine.)
Works a Corner in Wheat-Pillsburv
the Miller, Charged With Manipulating
the Market-Of course while leading
church people of the Orthodox kind make
gambling one of their Christly practices,
just so long will that thieving business
continue to wreck men and their proper
ty. Government railroads and state ele-
vators would wipe out this high toned
gar bling. This improved plan is ad-
vocA ed by the Peoples party.
State Tax Rate Is Increased in Illinois
From 81 Cents per 500 to 40 Cents
Great is her prosperity, prices of labor
and products of all kinds so low. that
many families and even single men can't
find employment and here the Repub-
lican gold standard heritics are adding
expense to its already overwhelmed
"hobos" Of that state.
Gigantic Deal Is On-Standard Oil
reaching out. Scheme to secure control
of the gas plants of Eastern cities in the
same way Chicago companies were COB
bled. What wisdom the dear Republican
voters possess. They are so conservative
that they enjoy being robbed and too
t~houghtless and ignorant to assist in i'm
proving its condition.
New Orleans-The supreme court to-
day refused rehearings in the case of
Councilman Numa Dudossat, convicted
of accepting bride and sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary; also in the case
of the Olympic Club, in which fights were
declared illegal. This finally settles glove
fights in this city and no more can take
place.
Two Years in a Mad House-Sane man
finally secures his release, queer expla-
nation. P. G. Henderson, a painter from
st. Louis, secures his freedom. The only
explanation that the authorities can offer
is that he was locked up by mistake and
he was held for fear that he might be
insane and that it would be a mistake to
let him go free.
Assignee Charges Fraud-Begins suit
against w. w. Durham, the bankrupt
Republican millionaire banker. The suit
is to set aside deeds to real estate alleged
to have been conveyed for the purpose
of fraud. The particular transfers are
a tract of 800 acres of choice land val
ued at $4,000 which was decided to his
sol and about $50, 900 worth of land
decided to his wife, there being no consid-
Grafton in either case.
Fortune in Wedding Presents-Million
aire Biddlle. "Pittsburg, June 12.-An-
thony j. Drexel Biddle, a multi-million-
aire of Philadelphia, and Miss Cordelia
Rundel Bradley, Of this city, were mar
ried last night at the home of the bride
in the East End. The bride wore a mil
lion dollar breach or diamonds and
pearls, an heirloom in the Biddle family.
Many Philadelphia and New York socie-
ty people were present. The wedding
presents included checks for enormous
sums, and are estimated to aggregate
in value 1900, 900. The couple left for
a European tour" How our producers
and mechanics must enjoy seeing these
rich plunderers carry on in this way.
Vote the Republican system and con-
tinue it.
Still More Republican Prosperity
Bribed Chicago policemen. Four pick
pockets explain how they escaped arrest.
Bridgeport, Conn, June 12.-Four Chi
cago pickpockets just out of a New Jer-
sey Jail, were arrested here yesterday and
gave an exhibition at the police station
Of how they steal watches. They say
they gave the Chicago police IS to be let
off each time they got caught,
Illinois Bank Is Closed-Brown & Bru-
ner assign. Metropolis, ILL.,, June r.
The banking house of Brown & Bruner
closed it's doors today and made an as

and E. P. Curtis, for the benefit Of their
creditors. The liabilities will be about
500, 600.
Oh, What Wonderful Prosperity
Woodsmen demand bread. Midland,
Mich, June 12.-Twenty-four men, heads
of families, at Hubbard, marched into
Midland this morning and beseiged the
courthouse, demanding from the county
officers something to eat. Thirty fami-
lies are in destitute circumstances and
the women and little children are crying
for bread. Hubbard was settled nearly
three years ago, mostly by Germans
from Detroit. They claim that they were
promised a mill and six years work at
$3.50 per day.
To Prevent Bank Frauds-Oficers re-
strioted from individually borrowing on
deposits. Albany, June Gov. Morton
today signed the bill by Senator Kilburn
which is designated to prevent bank
frauds. It provides that no officer, di-
rector or clerk, or agent of any bank
or savings bank, shall borrow from
the corporation with which he is
officially connected any sum of
money without the consent and appro-
val of a majority of the board of directors
or trustees. Every person violating this
provision shall for each offense forfeit
to the people of the state twice the
amount which he shall have borrowed.
