nclal extravaganza SO conspicuous at
the national capital, this pointed sug-
gestion of the peoples great leader is
timely, and it will receive the hearty
approval of all classes except official
blood-suckers and their allies.
A government "of the people, for the
people, and by the people" should not be
so costly a luxury as to rob the people.
The expenses of government should be
kept within the limits of reasonable
economy, and never be pushed up to
a point where they are oppressive to the
wealth producers and taxpayers. Reck-
less extravaganza in the use of public
funds is the bane of modern govern
ments, from the federal powers at Wash
ington down to the smallest munich
pality. The question of how much the
people can afford to pay into the public
treasury is seldom considered by off,
cials who control the public funds. The
rule is to find plenty Of places and ways
for paying out money, and then issue
sight drafts on the people for the amount
required. The taxpayers must "pungle
up" or have their property confiscated
The more money the officials handle
There is no question but that the fed
eral government costs this nation annu-
ally one-fourth to one-third more than
it ought to cost. Useless offices are Gre
ated and maintained for the sole purpose
of paying political debts. Substantial
appropriations are made for mythical
improvements. Personal claims are al
lowed to reward friends, punish ene-
mics or promote schemes of question
able legality. In numberless ways and
under all sorts of pretexts, public funds
are squandered with q wicked disregard
for the interests of the masses who
produce the wealth of the country and
are heavily taxed for so doing. Such
official malfeasance is all the more un-
just and oppressive because under ex-
isting laws the burden of taxation, in
cluding the tariff tax, falls upon the
poor rather than the rich. the toiler
heavily upon the shoulders of the weak
er classes and being scarcely percepti-
BILE to the financially strong.
1t is time to call halt on govern
ment extravaganza. Mr.. Bryan has done
well in directing attention to, and ex-
pressing himself pointedly upon, this
important phase of fiscal reform. I'm
der his administration, with a congress
pledged to economy in legislation, there
will be millions saved to the taxpayers
every year, and that, too. without i'm
pairing the efficiency of the public SER
vice.

BIG FIRE IN IOWA.
A Third of the Business Houses in
Corning Destroyed.

CORNING Ua.), Oct. 9.-Corning was
visited this morning with terrible con-
fiagration, involving the loss of third
of its business houses, with a total value
of S150,OO0. At 6 o'clock the fire alarm
awakened the sleeping inhabitants to
the fact that the large Reynolds grain
elevator at the depot was ablaze. The
water works being out of order, little
could be done and the high wind soon
caused the destruction of the building.
Three box cars caught fire from the ele-
vator, and when the sides of one of them
had caved in the charred body of man
was discovered. Identification is impos-
sible. but it is supposed he was tramp.
Hardly had the people returned to
their beds when they were called out
again to fire in Beymer's store. Tele
grams for assistance were sent to Cres-
ton, Clarinda and Red Oak, but before
aid could arrive two whole blocks had
been swept away.
The fire in the elevator was caused by
sparks from an engine, the elevator
sparks setting fire to the store. Stories
of incendiarism are afloat.
A. B. Turner is the heaviest loser.
$4,000, uninsured; H. H. La Rue, So
600, partly insured, and the National
Bank of Corning, $4,000. insured for
$4,000. The insurance of $50, 900 is dis
tributed pretty evenly among the lead
ing insurance companies.

woke trouble was manifested one

him over the head with the butt end OF
his gun. After this no more interfer-
ence occurred. 1t was showing ana
turning cold when the men arrived, but
the troops willingly obeyed orders, and
walked from the depot to the Little
Johnny mine in slush and snow, DIS
tance of four miles.

ing gunsmith here, and 1t is charged
that he secured guns for the strikers. He

This bloody sequel to the Martin

men, IN command of Deputy Sheriff
Ward Of Martin County, got on the trail

times in quick succession One Of the
bullets struck Marshal Gallien in tn,

The desperate then quickly ran out

of him, and followed close behind. This
chase was kept up for four miles, when
Sair broke pedal on his wheel and took

verdict. The body of the dead Marshal
was taken to Bancroft, Iowa, tonight.
Bicyclists are being held for identifi-
cation at Preston, Blooming Prairie and

People Greatly Excited Over the
Tragedy.

NOBLESVILLE Qnd.), Oct. 9.-The
citizens of this town and the people OF
the surrounding country are greatly ex-
cited over the news of an awful tragedy
which took place three miles from here.
The bodies of Albert Bray, a prominent
farmer, his wife and two children were
found this morning in their home.
Their throats had been cut and all
were dead except Bray. who died soon
after he was found
The neighbors are undecided whether
they were murdered or whether Bray
cid the awful deed himself.
For some time past the family had
been living very quietly at their home.
They seemed happy and Bray was ap-
rarently devoted to his wife. He al
ways went out with her and seemed to
co all he could for her.
On several occasions, however, he
acted very queerly, and it began to be
whispered around that he was not quite
right in his head. Frequently he would
meet neighbors on the public highway
and would pass them without a word
Of salutation. He never said or did
anything. however, which gave the
least indication that he contemplated
the horrible butchery which came to
light to-day

door he found that it was shut and

knew that the BrayS We're early risers
and their usual time for getting up had
long since passed. He finally decided
something was wrong in the house, and
putting his shoulder to the back door
he forced his way in. He saw no indi-
cations of anything being wrong until
he reached the bedroom. There an aW-
full sight met his eyes.
Lying on the floor were the bodies of
Mrs. Bray and the two children, aged
3 and 8 respectively. Their throats had
been cut.
Near by was the PROSTATE form of

He was still alive, but unconscious. At

The officers were notified of the trag-
edy and are working hard to find pos

is generally believed that Bray himself
committed the deed in an insane mo-
ment.
