VICTIM OF A RUNAWAY.
Two Ladies' Possibly Fatally Injured

Mrs. Victor johnson and her mother, MIS-.

away accident on Nicollet avenue yesterday
afternoon. AS 1t was, both were badly bruised
by the accident, and may have sustained ser
fous internal injuries. The ladies were driy-

crowd speedily collected and both women
were carried into ]. w. Thomas store in an
insensible condition. DR.. ]. Merritt Lewis,
who witnessed the accident, attended the
injured women, and expressed the belief that
both were seriously injured, though more
from the shock than from other causes. The
elderly lady was badly hurt internally, as
far as could be judged. Both were later re-
moved to their homes. Mrs. Johnson's hus-
band is fireman in the Palisade mill.
Shortly before midnight no material change
had occurred in the condition Of the two
women. Mrs. Johnson had not regained con-
seriousness. She was vomiting freely and ap-
peared to be suffering pain. There was evil
dence of concussion of the brain. Mrs. Busch
wacker was fully restored to consciousness
but laboring under great pain. Her injuries
are internal but their nature and extent
have not yet been determined. DR.. Lewis de-
clined to express an opinion as to the nkeli-
hood of their recovery beyond that their con-
dition was very grave.

Guaranty Loan Receiver Ordered to
Deduct His Fees.

Judge Russell has filed two decisions in
the matter of the objections to the report of
the receiver of the Northwestern Guaranty
Loan company the separate objections being
made to the first and second reports. The
first objection was based by the Sharon Ma
tional bank and others, the chief ground
being that the receiver had failed to bring
an action against the directors and officers of
the company. The court has overrued the
objections, holding that from the facts the
receiver would not be justified in bringing
an action to which there would be so much
expense attached.
In the second objection, the court finds
with the Minneapolis Trust company, as re-
ceiver, upon all counts save one 1t finds
that the receiver has paid out as court costs
and sheriff's fees, the proper and Just

ceiver in the matter Of the commissions for

further report, and in that report to charge
itself and credit the estate with the amounts

lection of the same.
In the decree, the court finds that the trust
company secured the work of collecting as
receiver of the Northwestern Guaranty Loan
company, and that the work was performed
by the force, for which charges are made
in the report. The decision does not state
how much the courts order covers but it
is understood that the order will require the
trust company to account to the estate for
about $4,000. The matter will be -appealed.

thousand silver dollars or one thousand gold
whole dollars? (Applause.) If you want to
count your house at more dollars why not
cut the gold dollar in two and measure IL
by gold? Are there any more potatoes I'M
four thousand pecks than there is in thous-
and bushels? If l remember my arithmetic
right-and perhaps don't-your house is the
same, your farm is the same, 1t produces the
same result.
oh, but you say, prices have gone
down and they have gone down on account OF
the appreciation of gold and therefore we
want to change it into silver, SO that it wiki
go up again. Whether gold has appreciated
or not, do not suppose that any man knows, :,
but whatever it's appreciation has been, it has
been long time doing it, and its effect upon
prices in my judgment, has been nothing.a
The Democrats talk about the fall in prices
of cotton and wheat because gold has appre-
ciated in value. My friends, everyone in this
country even the farmers, Is liable to meet
with some trouble in his business: more peo-l
pie go into the business and the profits Of
the business decrease because there are so
many to divide them Why has wheat CONES
down? Not because silver has been demon
etized but because Russia and the Argen-l
tine Republic are raising millions of bushels
of wheat and they can sell 1t here as cheap
as our farmers
I'VE will always have money, even if we de-
monetize every dollar of gold and silver in
the world. And we may have silver money
perhaps, but ar6 you any better off if YOU
have your, property reckoned In half dollars,
as 1t will be on a silver basis, rather than
in dollars as it is at present? No, we DON'T
want silver because the road is a thorny onai
to travel, and after you travel it, it will be
still more thorny and rougher. \
Credit plays a great part in the silver;
question. If your merchant buys goods fromf
England you will find that credit amounts
to great deal and on silver basis we will
pay a big sum for this credit. This Is why
merchants do not want silver basis. Theyl
say on silver basis you will scale down in
our debt one-half. Would you do it and de-
prive the man you owe Of ene-half of what
you owe him? Shall the nation do it? l say
no, and not from sentiment. do l make this
statement, but from a selfish reason We
must preserve our credit in the world and If
we adopt silver basis we will ruin it the
world over. We want no silver basis to help
us out of these hard times because the silver
basis is dishonorable. Distrust brought on
these hard times will last until we turn
down these silverites, and when we settle.
this thing for good and all in November we
win hear no more Of hard times.'

TROUBLE AT AN END.
Charles HI. Walls Finds surcease
From Sorrow,


Charles H. Walls, aged thirty-fve years a
mail carrier residing at S401 Second street
north, shot himself through the heart with
suicidal intent at 8:15 yesterday morning.
The rash act was committed in the unfcr-
tunate mans room at his home and death
was instantaneous
Mr.. Walls enjoyed good health and the act
Of self destruction is attributed to domestic
unhappiness. He had been married twice. He
was divorced from his first wife, by whom he
has two children still living, some time ago,
and was married second time about four
months since. 1t Is said that he was Intensely
Jealous Of his second wife, and believing that
she was untrue to him he enlisted the SEW
ices of private detective agency IN shadow
ing her. The agency detailed men TO Natch
her for some time, but, so it Is SAID. they
were unable to find anything against her that
would tend to confirm the husbands jealous
fears.
Not satisfied with the clandestine iuoesti-
CATION, Walls continued to watch his wife.
He frequently subjected her to a rigid ques-
tioning as to her Whereabouts ana actlcns
on certain occasions, and would not be ap-
peased by any explanation she might oner.
AS a result the couple gradually became
estranged. About three weeks ago the cold
ness led to a separation, and since then the
mans actions have led his fellow employees
at the postofice to believe that his mind was
failing.
Inquiry at the postofice yesterday devel-
oped the information that for a number of
months past Walls has acted in an unnatural
manner, which has become most notlceaple
within the last few weeks. Of late ne mas
repeatedly asked for information regarding
the different methods of suicide, and has on
different occasions threatened to take his
life, saying in explanation that he had moth
ing to live for.
Before leaving his work at the postofhce
Wednesday he went to the treasurer and
drew $418 due him for over time that he has
put in since his employment in the depart
ment. What he did with this money is a
mystery.
Coroner Kistler viewed the remains and
decided that an inquest was unnecessary. The
body was taken to the county morgue.

Macaulay on Cheap Coinage.

From the History of England.
The disagreement of Charles and James
gross as it had been, had not prevented the
common business of life from going steadily
and prosperouSly on. While the honor and
independence Of the state were sold to a
foreign power, while chartered rights were
invaded while fundamental laws were vio-
lated, hundreds of thousands of quiet, hon.
est and Industrious families labored and
traded, ate their meals and lay down to rest
in comfort and security. Whether Whixs or
Tories, Protestants or Jesuits were upper
most the grazier drove his beasts to market
the grocer weighed out his currants; the dra-
per measured out his broadcloth; the hum
OF buyers and sellers was as loud as ever in
the towns; the harvest home was celebrated
as joyously as ever in the hamlets: the
cream overlooked the pals of Cheshire; the
apple juice foamed in the presses of Here
fordshire; the piles of crockery glowed in
the furnaces of Trent, and the barrows of
coal rolled fast along the timber railways of
the Tyne.
But when the great instrument of exchange
became thoroughly deranged, all trade ali
Industry were smitten as with a palsy The
evil was felt daily and hourly, in almost every
class, In the dairy and on the threshing
floor, by the anvil and by the loom, on the
pillows of the ocean and in the depths of the
mine. Nothing could be purchased without
dispute. Over every counter there was
wrangling from morning to night. The
workman and his employer had a quarrel as
regularly as the Saturday came round On a
fair day or a market day the elamors. the re-
proacheS, the taunts, the curses were inces-
SAINT; and it was well il no booth was over
turned and no head broken. No merchant
would contract to deliver goods without max
ing some stipulation about the quality of the
coin In which he was to be paid Even men
of business were often bewildered by the con-
fusion into which all pecuniary transactions
were thrown. The simple and the careless
were pillaged without mercy by extortioners,
whose demands grew even more rapidly than
the money shrank. The price of the neces-
saTies of life, Of Shoes of ale, of oatmeal
rose fast. The laborer found that the bit of
metal, which, when ne received 1t, was called
shilling, would hardly, when he wanted to
purchase pot of beer, or a loaf of rye bread.
go as far as sixpence. Where artisans of
more than usual intelligence were collected
IN great numbers, as in the dockyards al
Chatham they were able to make complaints
heard and to obtain some redress But thc
gnorant and helpless peasant was cruell
round between one class which womb pive
money only by tale, and another which woule
Jake it only by weight.

FUSION DEAL FIXED.
Kansas Populists Accept the Demo-
cratic Electors.


HUTCHINSON, Kan. Aug. 6-The Demo-
Gratis and Populsts of Kansas have practi-
cally effected fusion of interest in the
coming election. Since Tuesday last the
Democratic convention here has waited upon
the Populsts at Abilene The Democrats
held two sessions today. The morning ses-
sion adjourned until evening. The Pop
ulists at Abilene have taken no action as to
the proposed fusion. When the Democrats
reassembled tonight word was received from
their ambassadors at Abilene that the Pop
ulists had accepted the ticket recommended
by the Democrats for electors This ticket,
which was agreed upon last Tuesday, was
then formally placed in nomination. The
Democrats then took UP the question Of a
state ticket, and there being practically no
opposition the Populists nominee for COVER
nor, State Senator j. w. Leedy was nomi-
mated by reclamation. The other PopuIist
nominees, Frank Doster for chief justice;
and A. NJ. Harvey, for lieutenant governor,
were as cheerfully nominated. But here the
Democrats were again forced to wait upon
the convention at Abilene, and at 1920 no
further nominations having been reported
from the Populists, the convention took a
recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
when the other Populist nominees will I'M
doubtedly be Endorsed.
ABILENE, Kan, Aug. 6-The nomination
of Senator Leedy for governor left the dele
gates to the Populist state convention in a
mood for quick work today. The convention
quickly got down to the consideration Of the

much ado the report was adopted as present.
ed. The platform indorses the st. Louis plat
form and Bryan and Watson. The question Of
fusion was brought up by the presentation
of the conference report, which proposed to
give the Populists all the state offices and
congressman at large, the Democrats to re-
tain their electors. 1t was further proposed
to give the Democratic and Populstic cleo
toral vote Of Kansas to whichever vice presi-
Dental candidate, Sewall or Watson, should
lead in the vote in the electoral college of
the nation. The report received with ap-
proval, but an hour was spent in debate
There was some fight on Morris Claggett,
suggested as one of the electors, who, 1t was
asserted, carried musket against the strik-
ers in 1893 A motion to adopt the report was
finally made, and 1t was carried by acclama-
ton and the ten Democrats became the Pop
ulist nominees for presidential electors Nom
nations to complete the state ticket were then
made.
