FOR GOLD STANDARD.
The American Bankers Association
Declares it is the Thing.

st. Louis, Sept. 23-At the conclusion
of Mr.. Pullen's address to the Bankers
association yesterday reports of the
executive council and protective COM
mittee were read by Chairman Joseph
c. Hendrix, president of the National
Union bank of New York. The report
of the executive council was a decIara-
ton in favor of the existing gold stand
ard. It states that in it's opinion, the
existing commercial depression is i'm
mediately due to the attacks which
threaten to overthrow the present
gold standard of value, and adds in
part: we further believe that our
full measure of national prosperity
will not be gained until the whole
world understands that the dollar of
the United States is 100 cents of gold
and that the nation is to keep it at
that value.
I'VE believe that an opportunity is
presented by the issue of this political
campaign to give lasting definition
of the dollar as money unit. to per
manently settle the foundation of our
monetary system, and to remove the
menace of an overturn Of value and far
reaching ruin and distress which a de-
scent to a silver basis would in

NEW RAILROAD POLICY.
The Great Western EnIarges the Pow
ers of Its Agent at Kansas City.

st. Paul, Sept. 23.-Again the Great
Western comes to the front with an in
novation in conducting transportation
and handling business. The innovation
is set forth in the following circular
which appeared today over the sigma
ture of D. Shields, general superin-
tendent: Mr.. G. NJ. Jordan is hereby
appointed agent of this company at
Kansas City, Mo, with offices at Z West
Ninth street. He will have charge of
the company's business at Kansas
City and Kansas City, Kan, and win
have complete jurisdiction over all en-
ployes of the company in the cities
named, except employees of the mechan-
zeal and maintenance of way depart
ments." Effective October 1, 1896.
Mr. JOrdan's Jurisdiction will be
greater than that of a division super
intendent and if the experiment made
through his agency is successful. will
be no greater proportionately than that
of all other agents of the company at
larger cities.
If the experiment of the Great West
ern to be made at Kansas City on Oc-
tober 1 be successful and the manage
ment has every reason to believe if

VIII be one of the most important. most
responsible and best paid officials on
the roster. The railroad agent has al
ways been a great problem with man.

ments and responsibility and extreme

Net Ashamed to Wash Dsshcs.

In a recent sketch of Hawthorne by
his daughter we arc told that in his
early married life he helped his wife,
who was not strong, by doing the
homework. He washed the dishes,
cleaned knives and cooked. All this
he did without "suriy innuendoes and
sudden snarlings.'' The great roman
GERS good sense put to shame some
lesser lights in literature who have
counted it a thing common and unclean
to work with their hands, except in
using the pen.

ELKINS nor LUKE WARM.
To Prove it He Claims Every Doubt

10 RrOV6 IL ne claims Every OOuDL@
full State.
Washington, Sept. Ex-senator Elkins
of West Virginia, is in the city for a
few days before starting again on his
stumping tour in West Virginia. Mr..
Elkins has made ten or a dozen
speeches in the northern part of the
state and in a few days will begin the
campaign in the southern portion. The
senator has entirely recovered from his
recent indisposItion. He repudiates the
insinuation that he is Iukewarm as to
the results of the coming election and
declares that he will continue in the
campaign until the end and will proba-
bly, speak in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
and possibly other states.
Of his own state, he feels no doubt
of the result and says it will give Nc
Kinley a majority of from 10000 to 49,
600. There is some disaffection among
Republicans in the state on account of
the silver question but this, Mr.. Ell1ins
says, will be more than made up by the
vote of the gold standard Democrats.
The senator has kept in close touch
with the leaders and from the informa-
ton he has received expresses the be-
lief that Major Mckinley will have a
walk over.
The Republicans are certain of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Wis
consin, West Virginia, Maryland and
Delaware" he says, 'and the chances
are favorable for Minnesota, Nebraska,
California and Kentucky"

CONVERTED BY CALDWELL.
The Judge Made c. E. Purviance a
Free Silver Man.

c. E Purviance, fusion candidate for
district clerk, who is also secretary OF
the Republican city central committee
owes his conversion to the doctrine OF
free silver to Gen J. c. Caldwell, who
is now stumping the state for the gold
standard.
Gen Caldwell Iectured before our
ward club said he, and he talked on
the silver question. He advocated the
free and unlimited coinage of silver and
showed that the coinage of the Ameri-
can product did not mean anything
Besides that he lived a near neighbor
to me and talked to him often. He
was an ardent free coinage advocate
and he soon had me converted"

An Awfnl Loud InEa

The other evening Sergeant Ellison
and Jailer Hopkins took PatroIman
Hale, who is considered the best ma
tured man on the police force, into the
court room and told him that they had
a little wager which they wished him
70 settle 1t was that each claimed to
be able to blow a police whistle the
loudest- While this was explained to
Hale the two fun-loving officers put
their whistles close to the ear of unsus-
pecting Hale and blew a mighty blast.
But the wager wasn't settled.

SANTA FE STOCK SHIPMENTS.
Heavier Than Ever Before at This
Time of Year.

Stock shipments over the Santa Fe
from southern Kansas, Oklahoma and
markets are at present heavier than
ever before in the history of the road
at this time of year. In the "a hours
ending last night 81 cars of stock were
shipped into Kansas City, making the
largest number of cars of stock ever
shipped into that point in one day.
Shipments of beef cattle to the east
ern markets commenced earlier than
usual this year, shipments usually not
commencing until October. During the
past summer there have been thousands
of head more of cattle pastured in
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas than in
previous years, and this probably ac-
counts for the increased shipments.
Extra train crews to handle the ad-
ditiOnal trains have been placed in ser
vice, and extra rolling stock is now in
use

Treatment for a New Broom.

There is a great deal common every

broom sweeps clean beyond its apPli-
cation to a strange servant. If you ex-
anime a new broom you win find the
ends of the straws and the base of the
brush square; after it has been in use
fer some time the straws become sharp
as needles, and likely to injure the
carpet. To remove these sharp points
dip the broom in hot suds and trim

HALF RATES TO CANTON.
Western Passenger Association Cuts
Rates for Excursionists.

Any party of 40 persons or more, from
points in western passenger territory
who wish to visit Major Mckinley at
his home in Canton before election day,
can now do so by paying just One-half
of the regular fare or one fare for the
round trip. This rate was agreed upon
at a special meeting of the association.
This rate is not as low as was granted
by the eastern passenger association,
but the western general passenger
agents say that if a too low rate was
granted it would give the scalpers a
chance to manipulate it. 1t was ex-
pected that the same rate would be
made in the western territory as in the
eastern.
