A Disagreement.
Kaneville, Ill.

James German, the Main street bar
Der, has been in his war paint lately
after a couple of insurance agents. One
of these fellows some time ago got his
sister, Mrs Kelly, to insure her two
little boys. When Mr.. German heard
of it he advised his sister to drop the
insurance since he believed that the
company might not live up to its fiat
tering obligations. Mrs. Kelly notified
the agents that she would no longer re-
main with the company. 1t is alleged
that they at once used unbecoming
language to her. The agent at Racine
was sent for and both went to see Mr..
German about the matter. The argu-
ment was little heated and before
long Mr.. German fired the agents and
it is said that he did it rather uncere-
moniously. Mr.. German is not to be
trifled with in such matters.

THE TREASURY BANKRUPT.
A Startling Statement by Washington
Correspondent on Our Finances.

correspondent Oh OuT EluduC6S
The condition of the United States
treasury this morning is worse than it
has been at any time since the close OF
the war, and there is no sign OF relief.
If the government were national bank
the comptroller of the currency would
close its doors and place bank exam
iner in charge. If it were a private
firm or corporation it would be placed
in the hands of a receiver. Not only
have the entire proceeds from the sale
of the bonds last November been ex-
hausted, and the reserve fund depleted
way below the danger line, but the
gold coin in the treasury has been re-
duced to about $12,000,0 900, and the
difference between that amount and
the total of gold is represented by bull
/ lion-bricks of uncoined metal. When
the first bond issue was ordered last
January there was $65, 800, 175 in gold
IN the vaults. In November, when the
president issued the second loan, it had
again dropped to $57, 667, 700. Friday
| the reserve fund was officially stated to
be $58, 1924, 900.
1t has taken just about a year to eX-
haust the $4,000, 900 of gold that has
been borrowed by the government to
meet the difference between it's reven-
ues and expenditures, leaving the treas
ury in worse condition than it was
before, because the annual interest
charge has been increased indefinitely
at the rate of S., 100000. Of the $116,-
/ 100000 in gold that was brought into
the treasury by the sale Of bonds it is
estimated that $76,000,0O0 has been
shipped to Europe and $40, 100000
concealed in the vaults of banks and
trust companies, the tin boxes ofspecu-
lators and timid people and the stock
| ings of misers, who expect to see gold
at a premium soon. There has been a
deficit of $44, 800, 900 in the public rev.
enues during the five months since the
new tariff bill went into effect and even
the most sangline student of financial
affairs will not venture prediction that
this condition will soon improve. s. In
the meantime the gold in the Bank of
England has increased from $l37, 92O, :
900 on Jan. 25, 1894, to $176, 100000 on
Jan. %, 1895, and in the Bank of
France from $34O, 100000 to 1921,
$40, 900.
It is understood that the president
will send a message to congress on this
subject. He intimated to one of his
callers Friday morning that he pro-
posed to do so, but it is difficult to see
what good he can do. He cannot per-
suade a majority of his own party in
congress to support any financial meas
ure he may propose, unless he makes
concessions in violence to his convic-
tons and the views of the most trusted
financiers of the country.

A Plea For Kanevil1e.

We are in receipt of letter from
Kaneville which substantiates all the
statements made in another place
relating to Miss Edna r. Brown and
Miss Matte Carman. The writer
makes the following comments:
"The object of Miss Brown in start
ing this stamp collecting scheme was
noble and praise worthy, but it has
gone beyond all reasonable limits.
Several millions of stamps have already
been received and they are still coming
by hundreds of thousands daily. Please
take pity on our Over-worked post
master and a long suffering community
and do not do anything to extend or
continue this endless chain of letters. "

1T rs ALL A FAKE.
Beware of These Chain Letters Which
Call for Stamps.

The NEWS has already called atten-
ton in a previous article to the chain
letters" relating to the sending of
postage stamps to cripple" in
Kaneville, III. The publication of the
former article was the means Of break
ing some Of the chains. This paper is
now in possession of further facts con-
corning the matter. Some of our Ke-
noshaites will be panied to learn that
they are responsible i'll part for the de-
plorable plight of the unoffending post
master at Kaneville, who is threatened
with insanity and bankruptcy, through
no fault of his own.
Many will remember having received
letter requesting them to copy it
three times to send to three friends and
to send letter containing ten or more
used postage stamps to Miss Edna
Brown, at Kaneville, an invalid and
cripple whom a medical institution pro-
posed to treat if she had ingenuity
enough to collect 100000 used post
age stamps. Each letter was num-
bered and the scheme was called a
chain. You were adjured not to break
the chain as you valued the life OF a
poor cripple.
Now, be it known. there is no cripple
at Kaneville A woman whose name
was Edna Brown before she was mar
ritd conceived the scheme to increase
the size Of her mail. Iii this she has
been successful. She receives dray-
loads daily. The postmaster, an I'M
fortunate creature who receives a
princely $3.50 year from Uncle Sam
and ordinarily has time to attend to his
own business sufficiently to exc out IL
living, is swamped. 1t takes all his
time to pick the rest OF the villagers
mail from the mass for Miss Edna
Brown. The villagers complain be-
cause they have to wait SO long to get
their mail, and the postmaster has had
to hire a clerk, who eats up more than
the p. III. gets.
Kaneville is not even railroad sta
ton and the bus driver who has the
contract to bring over the mail from a
neighboring village is distracted be-
cause he has no room for passengers.
Miss Brown now receives II, 900 letters
day, with such loads of postage
stamps that she can't even burn all OF
them. She has over 5000, 900 already.
If the chain is not broken somehow,
stamps.
Here is an example of American
charity Why doesn't some one start a
chain requesting the return of one good
postage stamp instead of ten cancelled
ones. Had Miss Brown done that, she
would have had $45, 900 already.
Meanwhile Kaneville is excited, dis
tracted, raving. And the end lis not

ISL Fun.
Referring to a couple of articles in
the News Of Jan. % in regard to the
High School Athletic club dance, will
say the two paragraphs referred to
would leave the impression that we
were all on a .jansbOree of some kind.
The facts are these: 1t was a. party
given blythe High School Athletic club,
for the benefit of said club, and the
majority of attendants at the party
we're pupils of the High school both
boys and girls. Everything in the ball
room passed off nicely; the dancers
acted the parts of ladies and gentle
men but there were some boys there
who came without young ladies, and
who were too bashful to ask the girls to
dance. They had to do something to
relieve the nervous strain, so they went
into the dressing room and played boy
ssh FRANKS upon one another. There
was no damage done at all excepting
an old cracked vase was accidentally
broken and the dancers did not know
anything else was going on until after
wards when supper was announced, it
was found that some of the boys had
become prematurely hungry, and as a
consequence there was not any too
much cake left, but we all got our fill
so there is no kick on that score even
if one of the boys did get moresthan his
share of cake M his OrerShOe. How
ever you may take crowd ofyoung
boys anywhere and they are bound to
be boys. They all, and we all had a
good time, and if some of us were a
little too boisterous in our behavior in
the dressing room, we regret that we
should have offended the dignity of any
one, or caused the unjust comments
that appeared in the NEWS last night.
