about miles east of town. The roof
was set on fire. and the building was
soon in flames. Ed Winterburg and
Sam Cone were driving by at the time,
and they drove to Mr. Koopman's and
gave the alarm. There being no water
or ladders handy nothing could be done
to quench the flames. The most of the
furniture was carried out and thus
saved. The building had $500 insur-
ance on it, and it is thought the brick
walls were not much injured. The
building originally cost about $1,000,
and its burning will be quite serious

seSOund' and sUnSOund" Money.
ssWhen the government can put a
stamp on six inch rule and call it
foot, then it can make dollar out of
fifty-three cents, and no sooner"
This startling statement was deIiv-
cred by j. Mcdonald Trimble, an ex-
democrat, before the James G. Blain
Republican club last night. It is stated
that the gold standard advocates pres.
ent at once saw the point of this tell
ing and convincing argument and that
it was greeted with hearty applause.
We take it that Mr.. Trmble admits
that gold and silver are now used and
have always been used by the nations
of the earth as standards or measures
of value. This seems to be the defini.
ton of money agreed upon by gold
standard and free silver advocates.
This being true, we have two yard
sticks for measuring value. One of
them is II inches in length and the
other is 6 inches in length.
There was time within the mem
DRY of the present generation when the
two yardsticks were of equal length.
Up and until 1873 the silver yard
stick contained just as many inches as
the gold yardstick. Since then the
silver yardstick has been whitt'ed down
until it is at present only half as long
as it once was.
What destroyed one-half the length
of the silver yardstick?
Adverse legislation.
Can friendly legislation restore the
silver yardstick to its original length?
1t can.
Can adverse legislation destroy one.
half or any part Of the gold yardstick?
1t can.
Do not the length of both the gold
and silver yardsticks therefore depend
upon legislation?
Yes.
Would it not be better for the VIII ole
people if the yardsticks in use in var
Ious portions of the earth were Of
equal length?
Yes.
How can the gold and silver yard.
sticks be made of equal length except
by placing both metals upon an equal
ity before the law, and by opening the
minis for the free coinage of both
metals?
It can be accom- plished in no othe,
way.
| Then are not the advocates of a
single gold standard seeking to perpet-
uate system which is antagonistic &c
sound financial principles?
Yes.
| If they advocate system which il
antagonistic to sound financial pr1nci-
pies is not the use of the term ''sound
money" to designate the gold standard
cause misnomer?
1t is.
If the money system advoca ted by
| the gold standard men is not "sound"
money the converse must be true and
they are in favor of ''unsound' money.

Lives with q Broken Neck.

Barney Baldwin, of Birmingham,
Ala, has lived for nine years with a
broken neck. He was formerly an en-
gineer on the Louisville & Nashville
railroad. In an accident near Birming-
ham he was horribly injured. Several
ribs were broken, both-legs and one arm
were crushed, his skull was fractured
his watch was driven into the abdominal
cavity and his neck was broken. Despite
all these injuries he recovered and is
now sound and hearty, but suffers
from the inconvenience of having to
wear a steel harness to hold his head up.
He has travelled all over Europe and
America exhibiting himself at medical
colleges. Doctors are unable to account
for his condition and his seeming de-
fiance of all laws Of anatomy.

and Archie and Nora remained on
guard with their dog, which kept up
its barking. When morning dawned
the trio were still there, and the bear
and cub still sat on the high branches Of
the tree. They got word to Westbrook-
vile eventually, and John Brown, an
old hunter, went and shot the bears.
The parents of the children, alarmed
by their failure to return home at
night, were about to start out in search
of them in the morning when they APP
peared with the old hunter, who wanted
assistance in bringing in the carcasses.

know of no more charming member
of the community than the old lawyer,
says Chauncey Depew. studied with
judge who, as left his Office, had
completed the seth year of his life and
the e5th year Of his practice. The old
lawyer is the custodian of the secrets
of the community. If he has been
true to his profession, and to his best in
stinets and teachings, he has been the
benefactor of the village or the town
or the county in which he has spent
his life. He has settled family dis
putes, he has reconciled heirs to the
provisions Of wills, he has adjusted sat
isfactorily to all and to the prevention
of family feuds the distribution Of es-
tates, he has prevented neighborhood
vendettas on boundary lines, he has
brought old-time enmities into cordial
friendships, he has made clients and
money by being honest, faithful and
true. The secrets of his register, of
his safe and of his memory are the skel-
etons of the family closets of the whole
neighborhood. But the process Of mod
ern cremation does not more perfectly
destroy the human frame than does
this lawyers fidelity to his oath keep
out of sight these family skeletons.

JIM WANTS THE PRESS PRESENT

JIM WANTS THE PRESS PRESENT
New York, Dec. 14.-Dan Stuart and
Jim Corbett have had their first meet
ing in reference to the latter's sign
ing articles to fight Bob Fitzsimmons
under the big Texans management.
Stuart stated he would guarantee a
purse of $4,000 for a contest to fin
ish next April at a place in Mexico
which would be free from any inter-
ference on the part of the authorities.
Corbett positively refused to treat
with Stuart in reference to fighting
Fftzsimmons unless reporters were
present to hear what trapspired, and
the meeting was adjourned until next
Thursday afternoon, when they will
come together and debate the big
Texans proposition.
One thing Corbett did make plain
to Mr.. Stuart, however, was that he
would give until April to fight Fitz-
simmons, but would be ready to en-
ter the ring five weeks after signing
articles.

chased the bears long way, worried
them, and finally drove them up tree.
The children had no weapons, but
they followed the dog and ejoyed the
sport. They went up to the farmhouse
of Mr.. Nation, on whose lands the bears
were freed, and asked him to come out
with his gun, but Nation paid no atten-
ton to their request. Night came on,
