HARRY HILL IS DEAD.
"The Squarest Man" Who Ever Ran
aSporting Resort in New
York City.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Harry Hill, the
veteran sporting man, one of the best
known New Workers of his time and
we'll known throughout the country, died
at his home in Corona, Lond Island, at
o'clock last evening The cause of his
death is attributed to drinking impure
water from the water supply at Corona.
He was Is years of age and had been
i'll less than two weeks.
Harry Hill had the reputation,
which he was proud, of being ''t}
squarest man" who ever owned a spor
ing resort in New York. A decade ami
a half ago his resort at Houston and
Crosby streets was known all over the
country, and no rural individual of any
visit to New York complete unless it in
cluded visit to Harry Hills"
The proprietor was genial and hearty,
and it was his boast-truthful so far as
is known-that no person was ever
robbed i'll his place. Many New York
pleasant ones, of Harry Hills, occupy
places high in politics and in the bust
ness world today.
Hill. was was at one time rcputed to
be worth 100000, died in poverty, and
it is fact worthy of note that of all
were under obligations to him not one
went to his assistance in the days of
his adversely.
His financial reverses are said to date
from 1885, when he refused to pay for
"police protection" The announcement
of his decision unearthed police scandal
almost equal to the LeXow investigation,
but Harry paid dearly for it. because the
police kept everlastingly after him. He
was arrested day after day and was
often fined as high as $500 day. He
had to give up in the end and moved to
T 1
Point. but he was unable to achieve sue
cess anywhere.

THE PRICEOF OATS
PRESENT LOW FIGURES ARE

Natural Law of Supply and Demand
Alone Accountable for the Present
Situation-A Lesson from the Past.

The Fort Dodge Messenger has been
giving study to the price of oats, to see
if any relation can be traced between the
present low figure and the so-called de-
monetization of silver back in 1873. As
it gives the figures for it's conclusions the
whole study is very interesting to a
farmer. The market price at Fort Dodge
is probably fair criterion for the price
at the majority of the market towns of
Iowa. 1t says:
We submit below the figures of the oat
crop in the United States for each year,
the population of the country and the
average price of oats in Fort Dodge for
the fall months of each year. The price
is from the market reports in the files of
the Messenger, and anyone is at liberty
to verify them. We have taken the price

William J. Bryan in Congress, March l6

This is a sample of Mr.. Bryan's eco
monte ideas OF what avail was it to
the farmer that his wheat. corn and oat
crops were worth twenty times more
than his wool clip if there was no profit
in the amount produced; it could be
multiplied twenty times more and still
it would not benefit him if there was not
a profit per bushel. 1t is the profit, over
and above the cost of production, that
the farmer as well as every other pro-

to a shirt more suited to the etiquette OBJ

The special train was taken across the

Bryan talked to the people of Mackinaw.
He explained that a dollar with the stamp
of the United States was worth 100 cents
the world over, and when asked about the
b3-cent dollar by one of his audience he
answered the interrogator with his usual
explanation, but in such a manner as to
somewhat embarrass the questioner.
At Petoskey Mr.. Bryan spoke from a
platform in the rear Of the station to an
early morning crowd of several hundred.
Many of those in the audience wore yellow
badges marked AN honest dollar
Noticing these, the candidate demanded
to know whether the phrase referred to the
gold standard or to free silver. .-.-. -

this satisfied Mr.. Bryan, for he said no
more about it, proceeding with the discus
