POOLEIS CAUGHT.

And Also Two Other Men Who Acted
SusPi ciOusly.
A F. Poole the chicken thief whose
pursuit by the officers was told in the
JOURNAL of Saturday, was captured at
about 7 o'clock Saturday evening in
cornfield between Washburn college and
Shunganunga creek.
Several officers searched all
day Saturday for Poole but
they confined their hunt chiefly to the
north side of the river Chief WiIkerson
ordered Poole's house on Van Buren,
street, near the Shunganuuga, watched
closely, and also his place of business on
Crane street At 6 O'Clock tho police re-
ceived word that the man was at his
house.
Chief Wilkerson put revolver in his
pocket and went after him. When he
arrived at the house the much wanted
man had "down." Chief Wilkerson
followed him and finally overlook him
near Washburn college. Poole made no
resistance and was taken at once to the
city prison where he was booked, and
was then transferred to the county jail.
Officer Gaines walked twenty-three
miles in hunting for Poole. He tracke d
two men several miles whom he thought
were Poole and his partner. When he got
in sight they ran. After a long chase he
captured them. They proved to be Lon
Dick and Lee Workman who had been
subpoened as witnesses III the Sickinger
case. They had run away to escape
testifying. Gaines brought them to To-
peka and in court today they were fined
$40 each fer contempt Of court.

"MrND YOUR BUSINESS
She Snapped Up at Him, but He HaS
His Revenge.

The line of people waiting to cash
money orders at the post Office was long
and growing longer, and the late
Corners were suffering from the heat
and the long period of standing, says
the Chicago Tribune. Far back at the
last end of the line man glanced
casually over the shoulder of the wom-
an in front of him and saw that the
order she carried open in her hand was
not drawn upon the post Office at all,
but upon a prominent express COM
pany.
Excuse me, madam" he said, good
naturally, thinking to spare her fur
Their waiting; excuse me, but you have
come to- the wrong place; you must
cash that order at the Office of the -
Express company"
Mind your own business" she
snapped back, turning her head to
glare fercely at him. What right
have you to read my papers? I guess
I know a post-ofice order when 1 see
one, and, anyway. my son told me he
should send the money to the post
Office. I'll thank you to look after your
own affairs and let mine alone"
The good-natured man was mortified
at the reception of his well-meant sug-
gestion, and he made no further effort
to explain her mistake to her, but he
could not help smiling little when,
after another twenty minutes wa4t, she
reached the window and the clerk, Civ
ing a hasty glance at the paper, re-
marked briefly: Wrong place,
madam. Go to the express company"
The woman tried to argue the ques-
| ton, but was told to pass on and she
stepped from the line, intently reading
the discussed order. When the
good-natured man had finished his own
| business and was walking quickly
down the corridor he was stopped by a
touch on his arm, and there she stood,
looking deprecatingly up at him and
holding out her paper.
Where did you say I should go to
get this cashed?" she asked, trihe
haughtily, and his own neck stiffened
Immediately at the remembrance of
her recent rude behavior.
Pardon me, madam he said, quiet
~, "but am minding my own business
now" and, lifting his hat, he departed,
leaving very angry woman gazing
after him.

JIM GARFIELD The SECOND.

Nominated For Senator just as His Father
Was Thirty-six Years Ago.
Will history repeat itself? is a ques-
lion James R. Garfield is doubtless ask
ing himself nowadays. Like his father,
the martyr president, he is a lawyer
and graduate of Williams college and
entering politics at the age Of %, like
his father, SO years ago. He has been
married little more than year, and,
strange to relate. like his father, too,
he has been nominated fer state senator
of Ohio in the very Portage Summit
district that elected James A Garfield
state senator in 1859. Another odd
thing in connection with young Gar
fields nomination is the fact that July
3, the day he received the nomination,
was the fourteenth anniversary Of the
day when the bullet of Assassin Charles
Jules Guiteau laid his distinguished
father low.
In all probability James R. Garfield

MAKING CONTINUOUS RAILS.
Utilizing a Portable Foundry cupola

Utilizing a Portable Foundry CuPola
Drawn by Horses.
Success seems to attend the produc-
ton of continuous rails for railway
tracks, with the simple use of a porta-
BILE foundry cupola, mounted on wheels,
SO as to enable it to be drawn easily
by a pair of horses, says the New York
Sun In ST. Louis the method is pur-
sued by uniting the rail ends by merely
running a casting of iron around the
joint by means of a special kind of
molds, and the molds are heaped up
near the line of the track, and fire
built around them, so that by the
time they are to be put around the
joints they are dull red; there is also
a lining in each pair of molds which
requires renewal after each twenty
joints, but it's composition has not yet
been made public, nor the exact mix
ture of metals used for the cupOla. The
iron is poured into the molds from a
ladle, as in ordinary practice, and the
| union between the iron and steel of the
rails is represented as similar to that
which takes place in a good weld. After
the iron has been poured the moIds are
allowed to remain about ten minutes
before taken of and used at a second
joint; every other section of a track
is cast in the morning, and in the
| afternoon the remaining joints are
made, this being done to prevent as
far as possible the severe strain of con-
traction and expansion, for when the
| joint is hot it heats the rails for some
distance and consequently there is con-
siderable expansion.

Some more odd signs are making
their appearance about the city, says
Columbus Dispatch. One reads: ED

reads: Fine Stalk of Second Hand

to allure the hot and thirsty, reads:

mo, indeed. Whatever put such an
idea into your head? Banks couldn't
do it if it wasn't for the law
well, why does the law let some
folks promises to pay go for money
and not others?'
Because the folks who make these
promises to pay are rich and have lots
of money of their own"
"Oh, then, it is on the principle that
to him that hath shall be given
mo, not that, but they use their
money to buy government bonds and
then put the bonds into the hands of
the secretary of the treasury and he
gives them the notes.
"Oh, they trade off the bonds for
notes and the government gets out OF
paying out any more interest on tho
bonds it takes in
mot so fast, you young financier
The government only holds the bonds
to make sure that the bills will be paid.
1t keeps on paying interest on them
just the same as if the bankers held
them"
We'll, I suppose that is fair. The
banker gets interest on the government
bonds but he has to pay interest to the
people who take these notes of his for
what they have to SELL"
Wrong again; We seem bound to
get the cart before the horse. The
people who get these notes from the
banker pay him interest for the use of
them"
! What! Pay him interest because
they take the promises to pay?"
THAT is exactly what they do. The
promises to pay circulate as money and
they pay interest for the use of the
money"
1T seems to me that is getting the
cart before the horse. When you make
a note in promise to pay money don't
you have to pay interest on it to get
anyone to take it and let you have any
thing for it?''
Yes, but in the case of the banks it
is different"
you bet! I should say it was differ
ent. The banks draw interest On their
notes and you pay interest on yours"
You are getting it straight now"
But isn't bank note a debt Just
the same as your note? Don't it show
that the bank owes so many dollars to
the man who has it.
Come right down to the point Of the
matter, I guess that is about the size
of it."
''Then as you pay interest on what
you owe, the more you owe the poorer
you are, but with bank it is different
They get interest on what they owe
and the more they owe the more money
they make"

the boy begins to ask questions about
the bill:
What is 1t good for?"
THAT is money, my son. 1t will buy
anything you want"
''But what makes it any better than
any other piece of paper?"
Because the government says it is
good. You can see the signatures of

treasurer of the United States on it."
What did they sign it for?"
ITO know that the government stands
good for it and will see that the prom

What promise?"

Yes. 1t is promise to pay money,

The following from the Boston Her
aid shows the crafty trickery of the
hireling political liar:
IF the matter were more serious 1t
would be subject for annoyance and
regret that in the debate going on be-
tween Hon. Roswell Horr of Michigan
and w. H. Harvey of Illinois, the au-
sound money side of the argument
should be taken by one so little fitted
as the ex-congressman of Michigan for
the discussion of the financial Ques-
ton. AS a humorous stump speaker
Mr.. Horr has few equals, but the cur
rency question is not problem that
can be settled by joke or humorous
figure of speech. Mr.. Harvey is a
plausible writer, skillful dealer in
half truths, and so far as study of the
subject is concerned, must be many
times the superior of his opponent in
range and variety of information. To
have man put up in public debate
which is advertised all over the coun-
try who, upon trial, shows that he can
not cope with his adversary, is, with
the unthinking at least, to cast discred-
it upon the side which he is defend
ing"
Oh, no! 1t was not a serious matter.
Strange. however, that the goldbugs
should have made such a hullabaloo
about how they were going to break
up Coins Financial School, and stop
the silver craze" all at one swoop.
Strange, too, that the goldbugs, hav-
ing their choice of champion, and be-
ing themselves the challengers, should
have selected stump speaker" like
Horr.
Were they only joking?
Did they think the School such a
farce that a jackass could bray it out of
existence?
If the goldbugs are not posted on the
currency question, as the Herald COM
plains of Horr, then why do they set
themselves up to educate the American
people?
If their cause can't stand in debate,
why don't they just admit that they
have no cause?

side, as they claim, they ought to have
somebody with sense enough to prove
it.
Surely they are not all ignorant.
If they are, they should post up
Maybe that after they learned some
thing about the currency question they
would be in favor of free coinage, 1d
to 1, without asking any other nation
on earth"
Most men want proof, and it is sur
prising that man should be a goldbug
or anything else and not be able to tell
why.
Certainly it will cast discredit upon
the cause Mr.. Horr advocates, with the
THINKING people, to know that he
was unable to cope with his adversary
Mr.. Horr was, before the debate, re-
garded as the ablest defender of gold
ocracy-and the result shows that he
had a weak cause, No doubt about his
eloquence and all that-but the truth
was on the other side, and such being
the case, no man on earth could have
downed Harvey.

The Main Issue.

Never since the war has there been
more discussion of the money question
than during the past three months.
The free coinage champions are the
most enthusiastic, active and aggres-
sive, and representing the views of a
large majority of the people, naturally
their meetings are the largest, their
books are most widely read, and sue
cess seems already within their grasp.
But the gold standard fellows are ac-
tive too. They are long-headed
schemers, and working hand in hand
with the leaders of the two old political
parties, they expect to divide the silver
vote so that the minority may rule.
1t seems absurd, but the handful of
gold-bugs opposed to the people have
as the matter now stands better show
of winning than have the silver men
backed by the sentiment of the masses
G the American people.
That is because sentiment won't elect
silver men. 1t requires silver votes. all
cast for the same set of candidates. 10
elect silver men. Democratic and Re-
publican silver men will throw their
votes away trying to reform the two
gold-bug parties. The Populists are
solid for silver, and will not fuse with
either old party to help elect gold-bug
officials. So that as it now stands the
silver men are In three camps and the
gold-bugs are practically a unit, having
control Of both old parties, and being
sure Of getting their own candidates
elected, If they can only manage to
keep the silver men from boiling their
parties.
The gold-bugs assume all virtue. and
their cry of sound money" is only .
catch phrase by which they will try to
dodge the question.
There can be no doubt of the honest
intentions Of the silver men, and no
doubt that they consider independent
bimetallism' the best means of securing
Sound money" in sufficient quantity to
transact the business of the country.
The talk Of International bimetallism
is farce, and the question must be
decided for America by Americans only
The silver men have the best of the
argument and the majority Of the peo-
pie on their side. Now If they will only
vote together the thing is settled. and
the howl Of the money brokers may go
on forever.
