DIE ON A CHURCH SPIRE.
Two Painters at Grand, Ok, Struck by
Lightning.

Lightning.
Guthrie, Ok, March 22.-News of
q most remarkable occurrence was
received here to day from Beaver
county. At the little postoffice town
of Grand, the Baptist congregation
is building rather commodious
church containing spire seventy
five feet high. The woodwork on
the steeple was completed Thursday
and on Friday morning James Ford
and Harry Somers, painters, were
employed to oil and paint the spire.
They began working from the bot
tom to the top, using circular scaf-
folding. Yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. While Somers and Ford
were giving the finishing touches to
the top of the spire thunder.storm
came up, accompanied by fierce
flashes of lightning. The two paint
ers were seen making efforts to low
er their scaffold when terrific clap
of thunder and a binding flash of
lightning left the clouds and struck
the spire, knocking away the scat
folding, splitting the spire and leav
ing Somers and Ford pinned to the
roof. dead. To add to the awful
scene, the clothing of the two men
was ignited by the flash and for ten
minutes the bodies were seen burn
ing and smoking in mid air. Heavy
rain finally extinguished the flames
and three hours later the remains Of
the painters were brought from the
steeple charred and inclnerated, and
almost unrecognizable, Every hair
on Somers's head was gone, but
there were no other evidences of the
lightning's bolt on his body. Ford's
body was badly bruised and lacer-
ated.

Scared Over the Rimetai-

Washington, D. c., March 20
The Republican Presidential candi.
dates from the east do not take kind
ly to the new movement looking to
friendly alliance between the silver
Republicans of the West and the
protective manufacturers of the East
They were disconnected by the an
nouncement some time ago that this
alliance was probable contingency,
and the conferences now on between
the leaders of the two wings have
greatly added to this feeling Of
alarm. It is Interpreted by the
fasteners as an indirect boom for
Senator Don Cameron of Pennsyl
vania and is regarded as serious
cloud in the Presidential horizon.
It betokens trouble at st. Louis for
the gold wing and indirectly strong
effort is being made to Offset and to
stife its growth.
Senators Carter, Teller, Dubois,
Mantle, Cannon and Jones, who
have asserted in the Senate their in
dependence of machine domination
are coming in for a considerable
share Of abuse at the hands of the
"sound money" men, because of the
prominent party they are taking in
the new movement of "silyer and
protection.
The representatives of the Eastern
manufacturers who have been bold
enough to come to Washington for
the conference with silver leaders
are also under fire. but the new
movement has been fairly launched
It has mora strength than the East

Cash Grocery,

We can now say to the people of
Bates County that we have the best
-four ever sold in the county. 1t is
Washburn Crosby's high patent
-four, made at Minneapolis, Mime
sofa; it makes sweet, rich, fine fla
vored bread; we have sold 300 sacks
of it, and we tell you the touth when
we say that 200 people that have
bought this flour from US have come
back to our store, praising it TO the
skies. We not only tell you of this
flour from what our customers say,
but from onr own experience; we are
using it ourselves and we pronounce
it the best -four we ever used, it
makes rich. fine favored flakey bread
and the beauty of is, if you buy
1000 sacks every ore will be the
same. 1t is made from that hard
pearly wheat, raised in Minnesota,
and another beauty about it is, it
only costs you Sl.10 per sack, less
than some are asking for the second
grade -four Beware that you are
not led aatray by some competitors,
that may tell you this flour is not
good, because they are afraid, when
you have used this -four once, you
will have no other. We have kept
very quiet on this -four, until we
positively knew its merit, we know
it now. and cannot say too much for
it. We have known of it for the last
rs years, tut this is the first of it
that was ever brought to Butler.
Don't fail to try it; every sack is
warranted.
We want to call your attention
again that we have big stock of

hardware line; and We are selling
lots of them, in fact, We are selling
five times the amount We expected
we would sell in so short time
since we have been handling it, but
the right prices will sell most any
thing, and we never have thought of
asking the regular hardware price
for anything. We consider what
little we make on hardware that We
are just that much ahead. If you
don't think you can buy anything in
the hardware line cheap of US, just
come in and see once. We handle

WHEAT TALKS.


New York World: Wheat has be-
come the greatest campaign orator in
the land.
This king Of our export grains has
spoken to more people within the past
week than even the ubiquitous and in
defatigable Mr.. Bryan has addressed
in all his record-breaking circle-swing-
ing.
And whereas the silver-tongued ora
tor of the Platte has reached the audi
tory nerve plainly, the golden spell
binder of the farms has touched the
sensitive pocket nerve of his hearers.
Within the past six weeks the price
of wheat has advanced zoe a ibushel in
the Chicago market. Upon a crop OF
$50, 900, 900 bushels-the average for tn,
last three years-this would mean an
additional value of $50, 600, 900 in this
crop alone since the presidential cam
paign got hot.
Even the slight advance Of &c on corr
means a gain of SIS. 900. 900 on the crop,
and the lesser advance on oats cores
$25. 900, 900.
The logic OF events has knocked out
the fallacy Of theories. Wheat has
confuted the mine owners.
, 1896-10-24

The whole popocratic campaign has
been built upon the idea that the peo-
pie were fools and would accept prom
ises Of future wealth made by men who
as a rule lave been failures in all their
own undertakings. That is why it is
already a failure. The people Of this
country are moi fools. They know that
something for nothing is seldom hon
estly acquired. and knowing that they
will never support a candidate whose
sole stock in trade consists Of promises
OF something for nothing.

Period Of
7,s66.36 $222,316,2 19.0s


These figures are from Treasury Cir
cular 1923, p. SD
Does this look as though WI were
suffering from lack Of coinage? Dur
ing the past three years-three years
Of hard times-our mints have turned
out SIS, O00. 900 more than during the
three prosperous years that preceded.
The coinage Of the minis in the first
nine months of this present year
amounts to $47, 1861, 1925. In 1894 we add
ed more gold and silver to our stock
Of money than In any year in the hast
Is, and yet 1894 was a year Of hard
times.
Lack OF coinage then, fails to ex-
plain the present situation, because in
the face Of a largely increased coinage
times have grown harder and harder.
Let us examine their other theory, that
the trouble comes from failure Of the
money to circulate. 1t is not practica-
BILE to show how much money is laid
away by private individuals, in banks,
safe deposit Vaults, or elsewhere, be-
cause of either lack of investment or
fear of losses in financial commissions,
The amount however which lies idle in
the United States treasury is a fair
barometer to indicate the feeling
among conservative m Of money.
We have had on an average $50, O00.-
900 more lying idle each year in the
treasury during our hard times than
during our prosperous years. Nearly
two-thirds Of our annual coinage OF
each year then lies idle in the treasury
since 1898.
1t is not lack Of coinage, but lack OF
circulation that troubles us. What are
we going to do about it? Mr.. Bryan
says more coinage; but II we are al
ready coming double what we a get
to circulate, how will 1t benefit US to
simply build new vaults to store away
what we coin? The government can't
give money away, and II there is not
business enough to draw 1t out Of the
treasury. no matter how much we coin,
1t Will do us no good. Mr.. Mckinley
says restore business confidence by re-
moving the fear Of a deprecated cur
rency. then restore protective duties 30
that u manufacturers can employ
their capital in making the goods we
now send u money abroad to buy
and We win not only bring out the mon
ey boarded now by timid holders, but
reduce the idle money in the United
States treasury and in bank and safe
deposit vaults. When that capital car
AGAIN be safely invested IN manufactur.
ING enterprises, 1t will circulate rapid.
". and in the prosperity which always
follows, all win have q share.
