Mr.. Roots PIeases Republicans.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Sept. 10.-A great Repub-
lican meeting occurred last night at the
courthouse. The speaker was Hon. Francis
T. Roots, candidate for joint Senator for
Fayette and Wayne counties. From the
time the speaker began his address to the
close the big audience gave close atten-
ton. The speaker presented a new feature,
the money part of his argument being il
Illustrated by means of Il blackboard and
coin chart, enabling his audience to see and
fix in their own minds the correct ideas
and figures He said the coinage issue, as
presented by the Popocrats, is to avoid the
real issue, after three years practice of
ruinous tariff policy. He has in his posses
sion an old pine-tree shilling, bearing the
date of 1852, and a dollar of 1895,
coined under the first coinage act
of 1892 and different sizes of coin-silver
discs, which he used to show the relative
sizes of the silver dollar at different ra-
tics. showing what size the silver dollar
must be at 80 to l to be an honest dollar.
After the meeting the Mckinley Prosperity
Club, under whose auspices the address
was delivered, passed a resolution of thanks

Watson in Kansas.

ERIE. Kan. Sept. 1O-,About 1000 people,
mostly farmers, greeted Populist Watson
when he began his speech here to-day.
The speaker said that the work begun six
years ago had not yet been accomplished
instead, the situation was worse. The
South and the West then, he said, made
a written contract to agitate the tax ques-
ton. and he asked that the West fulfill it's
contract and stand by the South. The
time for the death of the Populist party
had not arrived, he said and continued:
For Gods sake do not desert the Peoples
party now, when the great work has just
begun.
AS to his nomination Ior Vice President
Mr.. Watson said among other things: Il
am not seeking to be taken the Demo-
cratic ticket; am no political beggar. nor
is my party. The Democrats and Populists
ought to unite. The ticket ought to be the
St Louis ticket Bryan, the Democrat
and Watson, the Populist; amt that right :?

President must stay on the ticket, and

MIERS WORSTED AGHIN
FOR THE FOURTH TIME HARDY
.DOES UP" HIS OPPONENT.
Joint Debate Between Candidates for
ConSress-Progress of TIC Cam
paign in Indiana.


To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
WASHINGTON, Ind, Sept. 10.-The
fourth of the series of debates between
Hardy and Miers. the Republican and Dem
ocratic candidates for Congress, attracted a
large audience here to-day. This being the
home of Congressman Hardy, his neighbors
turned out in great numbers. and out of
the four thousand people present he clear
ly had the majority with him and received
an ovation. The speeches were said by
those who have followed the debates the
best yet delivered, but both of the speakers
were considerably out of voice. Any fair
minded man must admit that Mr.. Hardy
used his opponent up badly, and the Dem
ocrats are much depressed. Motsinger, the
Populist, was denied the right to enter the
debate by the Democrats, as he was at
other points, but he spoke at the close and
advanced the middle-of-the-road policy.
The debate Friday will be at Vincennes.

by Mrs. Larsen, who called out:

Her face looked stiff and red, but not
white and frozen as we had feared it
might. She was too breathless to speak,
and she sank at once, with a deep sigh
of physical exhaustion, down upon the
broad lounge which Cecilia had gotten
ready for her with pillows and blankets.
When she awakened from her sleep two
hours later, it was till forty below
without. But within fires were roaring
comfortably, and the temperature at
'seventy-five above was defying the
power of the icy winds without. Tea
was ready. and at the table in the dining
room three chairs were placed. The fire
of neighborly warmth burned brightly
that night, and the traditions that pre-
vail back east In Wisconsin, and in
steam-heated New York were set at
naught, for Mrs. Larsen broke bread with
us that night, and, truth to tell, did not

Cecilia sighed, sneezed, opened the stove
door, and poked in a stick of wood. Then
she closed the draughts and propounded
this social and economic question:

"Yesy if it's Karl he's drunk, you

ABOUT NATIONAL BANKS.
How Their Notes Are Redeemed
When They Discontinue Business.
From the Chicago Record.

From the Chicago Record.
A reader of the Record asks how ma
tional banks discontinue business, and in
case of a failure what becomes OF the
banks bills which form part of the
currency circulation.
A national bank may go into voluntary
liquidation, under section 522O of the Re-
vised Statutes by obtaining a two-thirds
stock vote of its shareholders. 1t is
necessary to deposit with the treasurer
Of the United States within six months
from date OF vote to liquidate, lawful
money to redeem the outstanding circula-
ton OF the bank.
When a national bank goes into the
hands Of a receiver, the bonds on deposit
as security for the circulation of the bank
are sold by the controller of the currency.
and a sufficient amount of the proceeds
are deposited with the treasurer of the
United States to redeem the circulating
notes OF the bank when presented. The
redemption of the notes Of national banks
that have closed their doors extends over
a considerable period of time, but the
holders Of such notes are amply secured
against loss, and there Is always on hand
a fund to take them up when finally pre-
sented at the treasury department.

From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Frank auckland, the well-known Eng
fish naturalist, was the last man in the
world whom one would expect to be SUI
perstitious, hut in a remarkable letter of
his addressed to a friend at Selhurst Sur
rey, he solemnly declares that he once
saw ghost at Westminster Abbey Buck
lands father was dean of the abbey, and
his son lived with him in the ancient
house attached to the church, occupied
by the deans for hundreds of years.
One night, so auckland declared, he had
returned home rather late, after an even
ing at the theater. He opened the win
dow, and sat at 1t, smoking a last cigar
before retiring. His room overlooked the
cloisters. A curious legend was attached
to a door almost directly opposite the
window. 1t was to the effect that the
door was covered with human skins. and
certainly the fragments of dark leather
still hanging to it help, by their appear
ance, to support this assertion auckland
was sitting smoking and watching the
quiet cloisters, flooded with light moon
light.
Suddenly he saw the dark figure of a
man come out of the door and walk down
the cloisters. auckland knew that no one
should be around the abbey at that hour.
and supposing it was some interloper ran
for the instruder.
To his surprise, he could find no one
and on trying the door found it securely
bolted, having not been opened evidently
for years. Much mystified, he returned
to his room, and continued to watch. In
little while he saw the same figure
which appeared to be dressed like a monk.
return along the cloisters and enter the
abbey by the same door. Thoroughly
alarmed, auckland ran down again and
found the door in exactly the same con.
dition, and still bolted on the outside.
In the morning he inquired of some OF
the old attendants around the abbey and
found that more than one of them had
seen or heard others speak of the appari-
ton. Some time afterward he foug,l

of the monks for a terrible crime and
IL was added that he was fiayed and his

said he firmly believed that II was the
ghost Of this monk which he had seen.
