WHEAT AND SILVER.

Il
Bryanism, apart from its revo-
lutionary and riotous programmes
is founded on two phenomena.
Gold has been going out of the
country for two years. The price
of wheat has declined. On these
two facts hang the law and the
prophets of Popocracy.
Gold went out, according to Bry-
anism, never to return. That
meant that there was no gold with
which to transact the business of
the country. The whole Union
was suffering for lack of gold, and
silver in unlimited quantities was
the only substitute.
So, because wheat declined, it was
beca use gold had advanced in value.
Wheat and silver always kept even
pace. When one declined the other
fell; when one rose the other re-
covered. Therefore wheat would
never rise until free coinage raised
silver from IS cents to 1923 an
ounce by law.
To the infinite annoyance of Mr..
Bryan and the silver mine owners
some weeks ago gold, the missing,
fugitive, truant, nevertr return
gold, began coming back. 1t has
come back in such quantities as to
be a drug in the market, and is 60
ing into the National Treasury.
Worse yet, nearly $3,OOO,O0O Of

of all things in the world. And
now, while silver is going down
daily in value, the pestilent wheat
is going up. Silver is worth only
So cents an ounce and wheat is up
to rs cents bushel, a gain of 13
cents in 80 days. What does the
farmer mean by bursting Mr.. Bry-
ans last shred Of argument? Why
does he not continue to sell wheat
for 81 cents a bushel? The mere
fact that the Argentine and Indian
wheat crops are short and Amer
lean wheat is again in demand
more so than ever-is preposterous
and has nothing to do with the
case. If it had: the Bryan story

PRISONERS MAKE A BREAK
Two Members of the Chaingang Make
ATTEMPT to Escape

Two Members Of the Changing Make an
Attempt to Escape
Two of the recently acquired members
of the chaingang, now working OH the cut
at Broadway and Franklin street, where
the whole side of the hill is being exca-
vated to make room to place fire-engine
house, made a daring and nearly success
full attempt at escape yesterday afternoon.
They were A. Gordon, sentenced to twenty
days for pedding without q license, and
an old offender named Joe Abbott, who is
serving thirty days for vagrancy.
At about 2 80 the two men. who had be-
come separated from the rest of the gang
by their work, stole away unperceved,
and before being discovered we're half way
up the flight of stairs which ascends the
hill to Court street. Officer Vignes and
Deputy Constable James dashed up the
steps after the fugitives, while Guard
Cochran, who is mounted, put the spurs to
his horse and came around by way of the
streets.
Gordon and Abbott reached the top of
the stairs rather winded. as did their pur-
suers some moments later, James saw
one man run into a yard on Hill street, and
followed, finding Abbott hiding in the back
yard of house. Cochran had meanwhile
arrived on the scene and succeeded in rum
ming down Gordon on Olive street, where
he also jumped into a yard. Cochran fol-
lowed on his horse and caught him. Both
men were returned to Jail and put in a
dark cell, where, on a diet of bread and
water, they will think. it over for few
days.

The Humane Officer Called Upon to Place Ethel
Edna Wiley in Whittier.
Humane Officer Clark yesterday had a
caller in the person of Mrs. Belle Wiley of
Santa Monica, who brought with her her
daughter, Ethel Edna Wiley, 13 years old,
whom she desired sent Immediately to the
reform school at Whittier. Mrs. Wiley
stated that the girl had done nothing espe-
cialIy wrong that she knew of, but was
generally incorrigible and disobedient.
Ethel had on several occasions come up to
Los Angeles and staid periods of from one
to five days, during which time she claimed
to have been stopping with friends of the
family. At different times she has spent
the night away from home in Santa Mon
lea, and goes out upon the beach at late
and unusual hours.
Upon consultation with her husband
they had come to the conclusion that Whit
tier was the proper place for Ethel. and
there the captain was desired to send the
wayward child. Mrs. Wiley expressed
great surprise when her request was re-
fused and she was told that it would re-
quire an order of court to commit the
girl. Captain Clark finally persuaded her
that it would be far better for her daughter
could she be kept at home, and mother
and child departed for Santa Monica, TAX
ing with them the bundle of clothing that
had been brought along that all might be
in readiness for Ethels anticipated trip to
the reform school.

General Merchandise Store of Schuler Bros.
BurgIarized Sunday Night
The general merchandise store kept by
Schuler Bros. at Tropico was burglarized
on Sunday night and large amount of
clothing and shoes carried off. In the
store is also the postotfice, and this was
thoroughly ransacked and all the stamps
and so cents in change abstracted. En-
trance was effected by prying OFF a shutter
from a rear window, and once inside the
thieves had everything to themselves.
Goods were hauled from the shelves and
thrown on the floor in confusion and the
whole place was left in such disorder that
several days must ensue before the stock
can be put in shape again. 1t is thought to
be.the work of a gang of tranps who have
been in the neighborhood some days.
Notification was given the federal authori-
ties of the burglary, and detectives were at
once detailed upon the case. The officers
are now working on definite clew and
expect soon to have the perpetrators in
custody.

Gludness Comes

[GTith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated ,ondi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa'
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease. one
may be commended to the most slSillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

this time. In the desk were several notes

STOPPED THE EXHIBITION.

St Peter Tribune: An athletic ex-
hibition was advertised to take place
at the opera house last evening, and
among other pleasantries in the
athletic arena, a genuine boxing con-
test between two boys was advertised
to take place. The arrival of large
number of pugs from Mankato and
other points led to suspicion on the
part of our authorities that the box
ing contest was in reality a full
fledged prize fight. The doors were
opened and about sixteen tickets sold,
when Sheriff Block and Policeman
Thavis pounced down upon the ag-
gregaton and forbid the exhibition.
1t did not take long for the pugs
and audience to disperse, and they
left for other fields, we understand, to
Kasota. to have it out, and where they
were going to have the Kickapoo doc
tor announce it from the stage of the
town hall We are in hopes that the
KasOta authorities caught On and
fired the thugs out of town.

KILLED BY THE CARS.
Henry kend Run Over Near Madison
Lake Friday Night.

A farmer named Henry Kend, who
lives two miles " est of Madison Lake,
was fatally injured on the Minneap-
oils & St. Louis track near his place
at S:25 o'clock Friday, by the west
bound passenger train. 1t is supposed
that he was intoxicated and fell
asleep on the track while on his way
home from the village. The engineer
was unable to stop the train before
the wheels had passed over Kend,
severing one limb near the body. The
train was stopped and the sufferer
picked up and taken back to the vii
lage and medical aid summoned, but
he died at one O'Clock this morning
Kend was about thirty-fve years of
age, and was a married man. No
blame is attached to the railroad, so
far as we are able to learn, but it was
one of those unfortunate accidents
due to the carelessness of the individu-
al injured.

to the officials of his road asking
whether a special train from Wells
could not be secured for July 4th. He
has received a reply saying that three
coaches can be secured if the business
will warrant, and suggesting that the
special train leave Wells at $50 a. M,
arriving at Mankato al 9:45 a. M,
leave Mankato at HOO p. m and reach
Wells at go a. m Mr.. Moore will
submit the schedule to the Fourth of
July committee. There is thought to
be little doubt but that the special
train would be filled, besides the regu-
lar trains.
The schedules of the other roads are
to be examined, and where special
trains are needed, negotiations will
be opened with the roads. Every
thing is going along smoothely toward
the biggest celebration Mankato ever
