Captured the Gang.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Oct. 14.-In a fight
between a posse headed by Marshal
Heck Thomas and the Green gang of
outlaws at Oolagh, i. t., Monday
night, two of the outlaws were killed
and the others captured. The dead
men are Jim Green and his brother,
members of one of the worst gangs OF
desperadoes in the Indian Territory.
The Greens have been actively on the
road for three months, and their cool
ness and skill in robberies gave rise to
the belief that they were in many
hold-ups charged to the Cook gang.
Monday night Green and his gang rode
into Oolagh, 40 miles west of Fort
Smith, for the purpose of robbing the
town, but encountered Heck Thomas
and posse and a fight followed, which
proved most disastrous to them.

ley district of Pennsylvania arrived in

In his remarks to the candidate he pre-
dicted that Pennsylvania would send a
solid republican delegation to the next
congress besides giving Mckinley a
majority of three-quarters of a million
votes. Maj Mckinley responded at
some length upon the tariff question.
He spoke in part as follows: 1T was
scarcely necessary to advise me that
the people of the anthracite regions
are in favor of protective tariff. l

MYSTERIousLY MISSING.
Strange Disappearance of Wisconsin
Banker.

Banker.
JUNEAU, Wis, Oct 14.-The family
and friends of w. T. Rambusch, presi-
dent of the Citizens Bank of Juneau,
are considerably exercised over his
sudden and strange disappearance He
has not been seen since Saturday last,
but his absence was not publicly COM
mented upon until yesterday. All sorts
of rumors were at once set atloat. The
affairs of the bank are said to be in ex-
cellent condition and Mr.. Rambusch's IS
personal account at the institution is
all straight. His personal affairs are
said to be considerably tangled, how
ever, and attachments have been issued
in favor of some of the most urgent
creditors.
Rambusch was rated as a rich man
and was one of the three owners OF
the Citizens Bank of Juneau. He was
engaged in the abstract business.
Many wealthy persons and money
loaners trusted him and he has very
large amount of trust funds in his con-
troll. On Saturday morning Mrs. Laura
w. Spence, of Fond Du Lac, came to
to Juneau and took out attachments
on all of Rambusch's property. Charles
| Quarles, of Milwaukee, attorney for
Mrs. Spence, was here and made an
examination of the records. Mrs.
Spence gave Rambusch over $4,000 tc
loan. Mr.. QuarlSs' examination re
suited in evidence of irregularity
There is not the slightest clew to Mr.,
| Rambusch's whereabouts.

When argument is based upon d
wrong principle, it is full of inconsist-
encies. Candidate Bryan says that our
dollar is too valuable; that it has en-
hanced until two bushels of wheat are
now required in exchange for dollar.
whereas one bushel of wheat was eX-
changeable for dollar in days gone by.
Mr.. Bryan's remedy for this is to
cheaper the dollar. This is logical, and
the dollar would certainly be eheapened
by "free coinage No doubt Of that.
So far Candidate Bryen us consistent,
but wait moment. Hesays also that
the free coinage OF silver by the United
States alone would double the price of
silver bullion and make it worth $1.29
per ounce in gold the world over. II
this advance should result, the silver
dollar would rise in value to the present
worth of the gold dollar, and thers
would be absolutely no change in our
financial system. These two PROPOSE
tions are utterly at variance with each
other. One of them must of necessity
be ncorrect.-Atlanta Dixis.

DESPONDENCY
Causes an Old Soldier to Hang Himself to
n Tree.

WAsHIEGToN, Oct. 14.-The dead
body of Capt. Simon O'Kane, claim
agent of Milwaukee, Wis, was found
yesterday morning in little clump of
woods near the railroad track, hang
ing about 800 yards from the station
at Woodside, Montgomery county,
Md, about eight miles from this city.
The man had strangled to death. He
was found bent down upon his knees
and his hands resting upon the limbs
of fallen tree.
An examination of the man revealed
the fact that O'Kane was disheartened
because he had no home or friends and
was without means of support. He
spoke last Saturday of returning to
Marion, Ind, where he had been a
resident of the soldiers home. Unless
relatives claim it, the body will be
buried near the railroad tracks.

Andrew Jackson said in his last mes
sage: Engaged from day to day in their
useful tolls, they do not perceive that,
although their wages are nominally
the same or even somewhat higher,
they are greatly reduced, in fact, by
the rapid increase OF spurious cur
rency, which, as it appears to make
money abound, they are at first inclined
to consider a blessing. y y 1t is
