THE INDIAN WHEAT FAMINE
Likely to Be Relieved by Grain From
California
Sir Richard Temple Believes 1t Is Eetter
for the Government Not to
Interfere.

LONDON Nov. 2.-Sir Richard Temple,
who has had experience in Indian affairs
since 1896 who was at one time secretary
to Sir John Lawrence, finance minister of
India from 1868 to 1874, and who was then
appointed TO superintend relief operations
of the famine stricken of Bengal, after
which he served as governor of Bombay.
has been interviewed on the threatened
Indian famine
Sir Richard alluded to the import of
California wheat as unique factor in the
situation He said
at appears this wheat can be landed
at Calcutta and sold at from to seers per
rupee. Such possibility was not dreamed
of at any time. Should this be true it
will suffice to fill the shortage in the Indian
supply. Certainly American wheat sold in
India at that price will suffice for the dis
tressed districts. l do not see the need for
the government to intervene in this mat
ter If the thing can be done traders will
do it better unaided. / think this is a vital
matter and the government should i'm
mediately verify it if This is possible. And
If so. they should not intervene.
IF the American supply failed, then
do not think there is sufficient wheat in
India to meet the scarcity and the gov
ernment might have to buy supplies where
ever favorable opportunities offer"

BYNUM is CONFIDENT
National Democrats Won't Elect Even
a Dogcatcher


CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-The Hon. William
d. Bynum, chairman of the National
Gold Standard Democracy, made the fol-
lowing statement this afternoon:
Il have every confidence in the re-
suit of the election tomorrow. | can
not believe that the conservative forces
which have combined to save the coun-
try from dishonor can be defeated by
the opposing elements, however desper-
ate they may be- Our campaign has
been almost wholly confined to the
doubtful or close states, our principal
work having been done in Minnesota,
Michigan. Indiana, Kentucky. Tennes-
see, West Virginia, Missouri, Kansas and
Nebraska. / feel sure all these states
will declare for sound money, and If so,
the result will be due largely to the ef
forts of sound money Democrats Had
not the sound money Democrats of the
west and south come to the rescue of the
issue at the critical moment the result,
to say the least would have been eX-
ceedingly doubtful. We not only pre-
served the sound money sentiment in the
Democratic party, but checked the break
from the Republicans to the free silver
ranks, and have been an important fac
tor in building up a healthy sentiment
in both parties. 1t was certainly pecu
liar situation that required Democratic
speakers to take the stump in behalf OF
true Democratic principles to influence
Republicans to vote their own ticket. The
action of the sound money Democracy
has unquestionably had a very liberal
izng influence on the leaders of the Re-
publican party and will result in united
effort to accomplish needed reforms in
our financial system. While the first re-
quisite ia sound financial system is that
1t must be attached to stable standard,
it nevertheless must be SO framed as to
answer the requirements of commerce,
and therefore must possess elasticity
A sound financial system is essential to
the preservation of our system of credit,
because without the latter we could not
carry on our trade for a single day. 1t
is impossible to conjecture at this time
what course the sound money Democrats
will pursue after the election. The re-
suit of the election will have much in
fuence in shaping our movements in the
future. We shall probably have a meet
ing of the executive committee at an
early date for the purpose of closing up
our business affairs, and no doubt the
fortunes of the sound money organiza-
ton will be considered"

been sold to a second party, but will

FELL FROM HAY LOFT
And Cut His Scalp Across From Ear
to Ear

With a terrible cash in his scalp ex-
tending from near the left ear up and
across the entire head to within an inch
of the right ear, Joe Johnston, who lives
in the suburb of Melrose out near the
end of the Temple street cable line, came
to the receiving hospital yesterday
morning for treatment.
He said he was up in hayloft tossing
feed down to his horses when his foot
slipped and he fell through to the stall
beneath head foremost. He struck on
the edge of the manger and the terrible
cash was inflicted. Strange to say he
was not rendered unconscious and
walked to the house, where his head was
tied up and he was driven in buggy to
the hospital.
1t required twelve stitches to draw the
edges of the wound together, but Joe
did not mind that, thinking himself
lucky to have escaped a fractured skull.

A Soldier Resents an Insult to Hanna
Banner.

COUNCIL BLUFFS Iowa, Nov. John
Berlow, soldier, shot repeatedly at an
unknown man this evening, killing the
riders horse and wounding him, he thinks.
The provocation was the destruction of a
large American flag wtth a Mckinley

at the flag with shotgun. Berlew rushed
out with two revolvers and began firing.
When a block away the riders horse
dropped and the man tried to escape on

saw him stumble and almost fall and is
certain that the shot took effect, Ths
man recovered however, and never quit
running until he was out of sight. The

the Touring is rather contracted

GAINING MORAL EFFECT.

An American traveller just re-
turned from the Orient concludes as
follows a graphic account of the do
ing to death of five Chinese who
had been engaged in batting mis-
sionaries:
"The work of the executioners
was very rapidly performed. With
one stroke of the AK the head was
severed from the body, and in just
twenty-three seconds the task was
consummated. The blood pulsed
from the neck of one man for twelve
and a half minutes after the fatal
blow had been dealt. After the ex-
ecution the crowd behind the sol
diery pressed forward and threw
millions of bits of biscuits into the
square. This was following ont a
superstition of the country to the
effect that the departed spirits are
likely to grow hungry on their long
journey unless properly supplied
with food at the start.
1.-The heads of the five ringlead-
ers were placed in buckets which
were cut so as-to give full view OF
their CHASTITY contents, and the
buckets were hung on the Foochow
bridge, where they remained on
exhibition for two days. Then
they were taken to Kucheng, the
scene of the massacre Of the ten
Christian girls, and were then hung
on trees, where they are probably
still hanging. To remove one of
the heads means immediate death
to the offender. The execution
has had a great moral effect on the
Chinese, and l think it will be a
long time before there will be a
nurderous interference with the
missionaries. The mission where
the massacre occurred is still closed,
but it is said that it will be reopen
ed in the spring"

al Stone Water Filter is

the most complete water filter
in the market and is the lowest
in price. No better investment
of your money can be made
than by placing an IMPROVED
NATURAL STONE WATER FILTER
in your home and Office. Every
dollar expended for pure water
is an investment on which the
interest is paid in good health.
During the late cholera cpl
demic the people of Honolulu
and the other islands saw the
necessity of having pure water
in their houses.
The Board of Education also
required that all water placed
in the school houses should be
thoroughly filtered before
using,
Out of nearly fifty NATURAL
STONE FILTERS that we had in
stock at the outbreak of cho-
lera we sold them all, placed
a second order and finally in
order to accommodate our
patrons loaned the one we had
been using in the Office.
These filters are sold all over
the United States, Canada and
the West Indies, and from one
and all of the agencies the very
best of satisfaction is reported,
Let us suggest to you that
you call at our store and see
the filters in working order.
