WANT THE BRIDGE RAISED.
The Northwestern Road in Trouble With
Pleasant Prairie Farmers.

The Chicago & Northwestern rail-
road has wagon bridge over it's tracks
in certain portion of Pleasant Prairie
which has been a source of severe
damage to the road by reason OF its not
being high enough. The conditions
there are very peculiar. The bridge is
at the center of curve in the railroad
where it cannot be readily seen by a
brakeman on the top of q moving
freight train. As consequence sever
al brakemen have struck their heads
upon the bridge and been killed. The
bridge stands little over sixteen feet
above the track and the company
thinks it should be raised to about
twenty-five feet. The land to the north
of the railroad track is high, SO it
makes no difference from that side.
But on the south side of the track there
is rapid fall. In order to raise the
bridge as high as desired, it would be
necessary for the railroad company to
do an enormous amount of filling.
Putting the filling in would so raise the
south approach that a road running
east and west would be cut off. In
order to avoid cutting that off the
company agreed to fill in on either side
enough to make them all right. And
there is where the rub comes. =
If this east and west road is filed in
the farmers owning adjoining property
claim that they will be damaged, and
they propose to go to law about the
matter. They do not want the road
built up so high that the water will all
run onto their property and stay there.
They base their complaints on the
grounds that the filing would consti-
tute a nuisance.
A number of conferences have been
held between the company officials and
the farmers, looking toward the
smoothing over of the matter. So far
they have not arrived at an agree
ment. Division superintendent Law
son will be here tomorrow for a confer
ence with the farmers. Today George
B. Villas and Mr.. Hard have been out
there to look matters all over.

MCCLURE is RECAPTURED.
The Last of the Jail Breakers Brought
Back to his Medicine

The Last of the Jail Breakers Brought
Back to his Medicine
Harvey Mcclure, the last of the band
of alleged crooks who broke jail last
August, has been found at last in Chi
cago and will probably be here this
afternoon. Mcclure was very slip
perry fellow.
He was first arrested here about six
months ago on the charge Of attempt
at murder In a drunken fit he is
alleged to have attempted to shoot
Mrs John Ersing. He was taken to
jail and not long after the noted Miller,
Of the Sackett and Miller firm, was
brought ia to keep him company.
Shortly after Mller's appearance
Mcclure was converted, probably
through Miller's agency, and local di-
vines were called to see him. He car
ried on devotiOns throughout the day
and ught, Justify singing gospel
hymns. 1t was the case of Paul and
Silas over again. The result of these
devotiOns was the release of all the men
in Jail except one. In the midst Of the
din of song Miller sawed the bolts and
opened the doors.
Sheriff CrOpley was notified Of the
fellows capture, and he has gone to
Chicago to bring him back.

Is this quadriennfal agitation in favor
OF International bimetallisn conducted
ll good faith. or do our opponents
really desire to maintain the gold
standard permanently? Are they will
ling to confess the superiority of q
double standard, when joined in by the
leading nations of the world, or do they
still insist that sold is the only metal
suitable for standard money among civ
ilized nations? If they are. III fact,
DESTROYS OF securing bimetaiiism we
may expect them to poin1 out the evils
of gold standard, and bimetallism as
a system. If, on the either hand, they
are bending their energies toward the
permanent establishment of gold
standard under cover of a declaration
in favor of international bimetallism. 1
am justified in suggesting that honest
money cannot be expected at the hands
of those who deal dishone silly with the
American people. What is the test of
honesty in money? It must certainly
be found in the

lust as the government ought to exer-
else it. Now the government must
either exercise the right to redeem its
obligations in silver when silver is
more convenient, or it must retire all
the silver and silver certificates from
circulation, and leave nothing but gold
as legal tender money. Are our oppo-
nents willing to outline financial sys-
tenn which will carry out their policy
to it's legitimate conclusion, or will
they continue to cloak their designs in
ambiguous phrases? There is an ac-
tual necessity for binetallism, as well
as theoretical defense of it. During >
the last twenty-three years, legislation
has been creating an additional de-
nand for gold, and this law-created
demand has resulted in increasing the
purchasing power Of each ounce of
gold. The restoration of bimetallisuI
in the United States will take away
from gold just so much of its pur-
chasing power as was added to it by
the decentralization Of silver by thA
United States. The silver dollar is now

gold, because the standard silver dol
lars are not now redeemable in gold
either in law or by administrative pol

will
RAISE THE BULLION VALUE OF

such fuss about IL that the little sin

her with a diamond brooch. The last

She thrust it upon New Workers last
night, when, at the Empire theatre as

in a real red dress and a mantilla, and
a yellow waiste and cleaning ankles.
