As ROTTEN AS ITS PARTY.
The Old Bryan and Watson Banner
Fell Down Today.

The middle OF the road gold standard
Populist banner went down today The
Wire which held lit suspended in the
air from the top Of the Bank Of To-
peka and the Jewell buildings broke
and the banner hung limp and HstIess
on the trolley wires. Several cars sue
ceeded in passing with difficulty. and
then Policeman Henry Bernard came to
the rescue He united the lower guy
ropes and with the assistance of sew
eral bystandcrs pulsd q h. banner from
the wires, where 1T was trailed in the
mud in the most ignOmi ini0us fashion.
The Wire which held the banner in
place rested on the trolley line and a
colored man who inadvertently brushed
against it received a shock which
caused him to hobble away with more
than accustomed alacrity. Then the
banner was rolled up and turned over
to Abe Steinberger Of the middle Of
the road" committee.
The banner has had a difficult time
ever since it was swung to the breeze.
The first wind that caught it tore off
the pictures of Bryan and Watson and
nearly all the inscription. and for a
long time it hung over Kansas avenue
in its tattered condition Then it was
repaired ana has since been unmolest0d
until today
1T was put UP In corruption, with cor
ruption, and eOrruptly III fell to pieces.
Peace to its ashes and place lit in the

RUN ON SUB-TREASUR1
a Furry Which Nearly Exhausted
Gold in san Francisco Sub-treasury.

a Furry Which Nearly Exhausted
Gold in San Francisco Sub treasury.
san Francisco. Cal. oct. 27.-The
sub treasury has just pulled through a
rather serious run which threatened to
annihilate its gold reserve and leave it
without a dollar with which to redeem
the perfect avalanche Of greenbacks
that poured in over the counter.
Timely aid came from Chicago and
other sources, and when the outpouring
of sold finally stopped the So. .00O. 600 of
u few months ago, despite the frequent
additions that have been made during
mat period. was reduced to bare S4,-
600
Tor once the sub-treasury had on
hand more greenbacks than it wanted
In two weeks time $4,000. GOO worth of
them were dumped over the counters
and the gold they represented with
drawn There was something like 81
uUU,Uuu in gold in the vaults when the
run commenced. Chicago was appeal
ed to for aid and sent S4, 600 600 and an
equally large amount was secured from
the mint while the S1,500.900 in British
s0NerelgnS recently received from Au-
stralia were coined into double eagles
at the mint and carted to the sub
treasury Only 81, 600 900 of the entire
amount was let after the furry was
over. That has since been increased by
the deposit Of over 81 600, 600 upon which
graenbacks have been withdrawn ana
there is every indication that the FURRY
is over.
Much of the gold withdrawn went
beyond the mountains. The sub-treas-
uries here and at New York are the on
ly ones authorized to redeem green
backs. Usually the demand for green
backs is steady at the sub-treasur-y
here, as exchange is almost invariably
in favor of New York and it costs less
to ship greenbacks than gold

strides which Catholicism has made in
America. which is now one of the
church's largest sources of income. 1t

these bishops enjoyed greater power
than their brethren elsewhere, and he
showed that he understood this by his
witty answer to some English priests
who asked for certain privileges. He
said: L am, as you say, pope; yet
cannot accept your request. But
added the pOntiff, with a slight twinkle
in his eye I can show you a way to OBJ

ION the accession of Pope Leo mat

charged Mgr. SatolH with the duty of

Continuing. the correspondent Of the

in the ranks and apprehending at the

petuOus bishops might break out. He

sir,-In his address TO the Confederate

This, of course must mean a trip to

Of equal size on the face OF the earth.
What would a trip to any Of the battle

ted from the programme? IL would be
like the play of Hamlet" minus the
