the GOld heSerVe.
 Washington, Sept. 10.-Nothing official, as far as can be ascertained, was receiv- ed at the treasury department from the representatives of the Belmont-Morgan syndicate indicating whether or not they intended to make good the treasury de- pleted gold reserve. At the close of busi- ness today the reserve stood, all with drawals deducted at $97, 544 ,666 or near ly $2, 800 900 below what is usually regard ed as the reserve limit. In regular oper- ations the treasury lost $16,00O in gold today owing to payments in San Fran cisco. A small withdrawal of gold at New York for export sl50000, was also reported late in the afternoon Treasury officials express no uneasiness over the declining gold reserve, as they feel as- sured that the syndicate and the New York National banks will not permit 1t to fall below the limit of confidence. What that point is shifts daily with the chang ing conditions.

church was taxed far beyond its seat
ing capacity and many were :com-
PEELED to stand during the services.
Over one hundred children, all
members of the Sunday School,

manner in which they acquitted
themselves reflects much credit up

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
S1yiia bes Celebrafsd ~ the Ctti'
gems OF Lafayettess

A movement is on foot to cele-
brate the F ourth of July in Lata-
yette. In fact it is settled that
il will be celebrated, handsome
amount having already been sub
scribed by the citizens for that Pur-
pose. The committee on sub
scribtions made a house to house
canvass of the town and the results
of their efforts to raise the necessary
funds have been very satisfactory.
The committees have not yet
made known the nature of all the
actions but it is safe to say that
they will be both novel and inter
esting. The baby show will doubt
less prove a prominent feature OF
the celebration. 1t can not fail to
draw the ladies. It is new here and
it will be really funny. We have
the material in abundance and it
will only be necessary to induce the
good mothers to bring their stdim-
pied darlings" to the show. If only
| one-fifth of our baby population
turn out it will be a bowling success.
OF course after the decision there
will be much crashing of teeth
and savage threats will be uttered
against the lives of the judges, but
these are the inevitable conse-
quences of baby show; without
them the baby show would be in
complete. There will be innumer-
able other things to amuse the pub
lic Bicycle, trotting, mule and horse
races, a tournament, a ball, base
ball game, etc. The following are
