We should like to ask Mr.. Bryan how
the people will get money to buy what
the mills produce unless they get it

Bryan expect the people to get money
Does he expect those who bring bullion
to the mint for coinage to pass out the
coin to the people as free gift? The
mints may stay open day and night to
coin money, but there is no way for the
people, except the owners of bullion to
get any of the money coined except by

into Des Moines Lodge of Elks TWO
months ago. AS part of the ceremony
he was blindfolded and placed on
chair with an iron seat. Then l1gnteo
lamp was placed under the seat, WITH
the expectatio that when it got 100
hot he would jump. But he sat stlll
until he was badly burned. His trousers
were burned away and the flesh fear
fully scorched He was put in new
clothes, and did not realize at the time
that the injuries were serious.
In a few days blood poisoning set IN
and he grew worse steadily. 1t was
his desire that the real cause of his
injuries should not be made public,
and another cause was assigned for the
Illness, the truth only becoming puollc
to-day. An evening paper publlsheo
a highly sensational story that the m
juries were caused by placing him IN
the process of the initiation ceremony
in an electrical chair, and turning on
a current, which burned him badly, but
this is denied by the Elks.
Mr.. Currie lived at Leon and was a
leading attorney. The body will be
taken there tomorrow by large escort
of Elks and Masons and the funeral VIII

they prefer some one else, why, as
have said, / shall not be without en-
ployment.
Il believe that the time is here when
certain well defined, practical princ-
pies must be applied to our national
legislation, If we are to conduct the
Nations affairs on as sound a basis as
we would our own individual interests.
President Mckinley has a difficult task
before him. He will need all the aid
he can get, particularly in the Senate,
for his function as President Is purely
executive. The two questions of tariff
and finance are to be the conspicuous
problems, and the conflict between busi-
ness methods and theories in their
solution was not ended by the recent
election.
Il may say that 1 did not get the in
formation l possess on these questions
fom books. but from a long procession
of incidents in mercantile career run
ming back some years. My belief may
not be the correct one, but am of the
opinion that such an experience is not
without value in the consideration of
revenue and financial policies that must
be formulated during the next Admin
istration."

Head and the Other in the

of the Murder, the Assassin Hav-
ing Ransacked the House After
Committing the Awful Deed.

LIBERTY (Mo), Nov. 1S.-A double
tragedy was enacted on the Foley farm,
four miles east of here, last night, the
victims being Mrs. John Foley, a widow
aged TO- and her unmarried daughter,
Fannie, aged 40 years. The murder was
discovered by William Foley, aged %,
son of Mrs. Foley and brother of Miss
Foley. He had gone to a neighbours
house between Z and s o'clock in the
evening, and returned home shortly
after midnight.
When the young man returned home
he noticed that the gates to the farm
We're open and the cattle and horses
were loose. He at once suspected
something wrong within. Upon reach
ing the house he discovered the door
standing wide open. He rushed in,
lighted a match, and was Mortified to
see his mother and sister upon the floor
dead. Both We're in their night dresses,
which were bespattered with blood. The
daughter was upon the floor with her
head resting against the bed. The
mother was stretched face downward
beside her.
The son made hasty examination of
the bodies and ascertained that they
had both been shot, the mother through
the head and the daughter in the back.
He aroused the neighbors and posse
was organized to search for the muir
derers.
Investigation shows the murders to
have been committed for the sole pur-
pose of robbery. The robber first dis
patched the women and then ransacked
the house. Fifty dollars was taken
from the foot of the bed on which the
women had slept
