A NATIONAL CURRENCY
Boies Takes Ground Against Banks
Issuing Money.

Waterloo, Ia, Dec. S.-"The issue of
the future says ex-Gov. Boies, lis al
ready clearly presented. 1t is no
longer a question of whether or not
we shall have free coinage at Is to l,
but it is the broader question of
whether or not the nation is to be tiet
to a gold standard and receive its
paper currency through the instru-
mentality and at the will of private
corporations, or have for its use ma
ti0nal currency based upon gold ard
silver alike and controlled by the gov
eminent instead of by syndicates and
combinations. We must prepare for
the broader issue. The time to begin
is now and the way to begin is to Or
ganize."

LIMITED DIVORCES.

Trenton, n. j., December 8.-The
New Jersey court of errors rendered
an opinion setting aside as uncon-
stitutional a law forbidding limited
divorces TO those who have religious
scruples against divorces. The court
holds that this is an improper classifi-
cation upon which to base law. The
law was passed principally for the
benefit of Catholics, who are opposed
to divorces, but who wanted some
statute whereby their property rights
might be maintained in case of separa-
ton.

congress against silver only with the
assistance Of sound money democrats
Many of these abhor a very high tariff.
and really favor tariff for revenue
only. Any attempt to force through
drastic mountain-high tariff might
ALLEVIATE enough Of this democratic
support to give the silver men a CON-
manding, or at least a dangerous posi-
ton in both houses. As it is the anti
silver majority in the house is a bare
nifty votes, while in the senate the
forces are abou, equal. H;.wever, the
republicans will have to face the de-
mands OF the man lfacturers who are
already clamoring for higher duties.
So between the anti-high tariff demo-
Gratis and the manufacturers, the re-
publicans might seem to be in hard
straights were it not that their leaders
feel that the gold democrats antipathy
TO silver is so strong that they viii
swallow any tariff that may be pre-
sented to them.

DEAN CLEVELAND.
Report That He Will Preside Over
the Princeton Law School Denied.

Princeton, n. J., Dec. .8.-The fact
that President Cleveland has purchased
a house here, where he will make his
home after the expiration of his term
of Office has given rise to Tumor
that he would become dean Of the
Princeton law school. President Pat
ton of the university authoritatively
denied this rumor Said he: There
is absolutely no foundation for such
report While we are all gratified to
have the president and Mrs. Cleveland
make their home in Princeton, their
doing so has no other university sig
nifcance".
Ex-President Harrison, when he left
the executive chair, delivered a course
of lectures on parliamentary law at
the Leland Stanford University Of
California. This precedent, coupled
with the fact that President Cleveland
purchased a residence in university
town, probably gave rise TO the rumor.

Berlin, Dec. 6.-Puthc attention the
past week mas been equally d.vldeI
between the lockers strike and the
LuetzoW-Leckert trial. The latter IN
tereSts the emperor particularly anu
>peclal reports are made TO MIN. The
foreign office had 2 corps of short
Lana reporters take the testimony
verbatim with q view to prosecutions
against otner persons involved in The
intrlgues Of the present and past cab
inets. The foreign Office and Prince
HohenlOhe have determined TO make
a clean sweep of intrigues and prose-
cute all culpIits. About fifteen per-
sons, including newspaper men, de-
tectiyes and officials of various Of
fees, are likely to be arraigned and
sent to Jail on a charge of calumny or
blackmail. His majesty is especially
incensed at the fact, incidentally
brought out in the trial, that his con-
tidence il certain persons had been
misplaced Or abused and the emperor
will require very satisfactory eX-
PLANTATION of Count Won Gutenberg 5
connection with the matter. Baron
Marshall Won BieberStein also intends
to weed out a number of unreliable
minor officials with whom the foreig
ctIice is homeycombed. In addition,
editors of several Berlin newspapers
and a string of correspondents who
have been posing as Repositories OF
special confidence from high places
will also be branded as imposters.
The lockers strike is generally re-
garded as having been instigated by
British agitatOrs acting in the interest
of British shippers. The whole in
dustrial press is votcing this convic-
ton and the whole socialist press re-
flutes it. The emperor is having spe-
cial reports of the strike developments
sent to him and he expressed the opln-
ion to Prince Hohenlohe that If the
strike is not settled at the end OF this
week. the imperial government will
intervene and insist upon arbitration.
Prince Henry of Prussia, who
Wednesday started on fortnights
cruise in Scandinavian waters with
small squadron of ir0nclads, Is to
have command of the home feet which
is to be formed next spring.
The emperor has not approved the
sentence imposed upon Lieut.. Bruese-
WITT -four years imprisonment in
fortress and dismissal from the army
for killing a mechanic, by running
him through the back with a sword
for accidentally knocking up against
the lieutenant's chair while entering
cafe. Some new and ugly evidence IS
said to have come to the surface and
his majesty has ordered a new trial.
Part of the fresh evidence is said TO
refer to the fact that the officer ran the
man through the body after listening
to the apologies of his victim and APP
peals for mercy.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that ia by con-
stitutional remedies Deafness is caused by
an inlamed condition Of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachisn Tube. When this tube gets in-
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the infiama-
ton can be taken out and this tHbe restored
70 its normal condition, hearing will be des-
trOyed forever; nine cases out often are caus-
ed by catarrah, which is nothing but an in

The music would be incomplete.

And spends itself in empty spray,

That Jail of Ours.

Last night when Constable McLain
got to town with Chas. Rowing the
man charged with shooting Chas.
Pollard of Rock, he placed him in a
cell In the jail on the lower floor on
the west side until he could find the
justice, attorney, etc. When it was
found that he could not be arraigned
until this morning, Mr.. McLAin went
back and told the jail officials to put
Rowing up stairs, as they would have
to keep him all night Rowing had
been in the cell about hah an hour
when bis cell was opened and the
prisoner had disappeared A hole
was noticed in the floor and the pris-
oner was discovered underneath He
had broken the rotten boards On the
floor Of the cell with a stove poker
aud then crawling underneath to the
wall had almost dug his way out
when discovered. He had torn away
the inside woodwork and had a hole
through the brick wall almost large
enough to crawl through. Ten min
utes more and he would have been
outside. The woodwork in the lower
part of the old jail building is rotten
and prisoner can dig his way out
with but very little exertion. As a
prison this part Of the Jail is about as
good as barn with the door open.

He Stole Cattle.

Yesterday, James Heskett, sheriff
of Sumner county, was in this city
hunting for the men who have been
stealing cattle in his county. He was
unable to find the principal man in
the gang here, but got a very good
clue to his whereabouts, and there is
hardly any doubt but what he will be
captured within the next few days.
During the past few months a great
many cattle and hogs have been
stolen from the vicinity Of Peck and
Zyba, but it was almost impossible to
get a clue to the thieves. Last SatUr-
day Clarence Robinson took four fat
steers into Conway Springs and offer
ed them for sale. The man who
bought them smelled mouse, be-
cause Of the low price asked, and in-
stead Of paying for them IN cash he
