What makes the wealth OF the United states?

debt that y did at the Close OF the war = KIN
Point Leacor.
A statement TO the effect that It takes
three times the amount Of labor to pay
Of the national debt that It did at the
close Of the war is simply false and ri
diculous. There is no product : wheat,
transportation, or any manufactured
article-but what one Of the leading
elements Of Its cheapnes AZ compared
with the raj period is the increased
ability to produce. The amount Of
labor on a wheat field has. since 1855,
been reduced three times for the pro.
duction Of given quantity by the use Of
the binder, and 50 it is in almost any
line.

RlN0sRUD GOVERNOR.

The nomination Of the Hon. A. o.
Rfngsrud Of this city by the repub-
lican party Of the state for the position
Of governor is q recognition of worth,
merit and business capacity. 1t is an
honor 10 Union county, In which its
citizens, Irrespective Of party affilia-
ti0ns, take a wholesome amount OF
pride. For thirty years he has been
identified with the county. It's inter-
ests have always found in him an ar
dent supporter, whether the object be
one Of charity or Of governmental pol
Icy. Coming TO this county from Nor
way ~ the age Of IA, he is q splendid
example Of the self made man and the
opportunities offered In this free gov
ernment for men Of worth and stability
Of character. During the course oil
this period not a single stain or blot
upon his character can be pointed out.
Universally courteous, honest and sin
cere, he has won for himself the admi-
ration Of his friends and neighbors.
His nomination at Aberdeen was due
entirely TO his own worth and nothing
more. Never was q convention run
with less dictation than the one re-
Gently held at Aberdeen. It WAS free
from b0ssism, combinations or states,
and was the honest opinion of the COG
delegates present, 49,.
An honor like the nomination re-
ceived comes but once in a life time,
and Union county, Mr.. ltingsrud's
home, where live his associates and
friends, will roll up for him on rejection
day 9 big majority to show the people
Of the state that he is appreciated in
his own home ct least.

Reader, that there is not a month in
the year that wheat is not harvested in
some country in the world? Yet such
Is u fact, 80 rapid has grown the de.

course the price could not stay up.
Did the fact ever strike you that in

fact. OF course these facts arr not

ed. THE COURIER wishes to make this
statement to it's friends on the other
side, and TO the local populists in par

We propose 10 assist Ia conducting a

Or mud slinging will be found in these
columns. This campaign will be one

which every man should be actuated in
doing that which his conscience die
tates. Union county in the past has
Witnessed fierce assaults on the char
ACTORS Of its prominent citizens, all Of
which has tended to react upon the v
sAulting parties. Let Us 60 into the
contest with u friendly spirit. We are
all citizens Of one commonwealth-with
varying views rs 70 the policy to be
pursued on certain Issues. And, while
varying, there is neither sense nor JUS
tice In calling names, assaulting char
acters, dealing In innnendoes, or trying
70 undermine the good name or char
acter Of any Of our citizens. Which
ever side wins let It be SO that out OF
the campaign there can come no bit
terness nor acrimony to make hereto

BOLD BURGLAR IND COUNTERFHTER

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-(Special.) .)-Charged
with the killing of his wife and two
children at Austin, Texas, Eugene Burt
was arrested at the Rialto building here
today and locked up at the central police
station to await cXtradition.
The alleged murderer confessed he was
wanted by the Austin officials, but made
no admission of his guilt He wore a
blood-spotted straw hat and carried n
huge dirk knife. which is supposed to
have been the weapon used in the mur
der.
The capture was due to the work of
NJ. j. PoindeXtcr of 2301 ID Lake
street, this city, where he keeps Il fruit
and confectionery store. He formerly
lived at Austin and knew Burt. About
six weeks ago POindeXtcr read of the
killing of Mrs. Burt and her two chill
dren by her husband. The account said
! the weapon used was a large dirk and
after Burt had stabbed his victims he
threw them in well near the house.
PoindeXter knew all the parties in the
tragedy and the scene that surrounded
the place of the murder. He, however,
didn't give the matter much further
thought.
Monday PoindeXter saw Burt on the
open Board of Trade. He didn't make
himself known to him, but told Officer
w. S. Parkhurst of West Lake street
and gave him full description of the
man. This morning Burt was seen
walking through the Rialto building.
Officer Parkhurst Immediately placed
him under arrest.
Burt was looking very seedy. He was
worn suit of black clothes, which was
faded and greasy. His face has not
been shaved for some time and his COM
plexion is sallow. He wears pair of
black-rimmed glasses. While sitting at
the station he appeared wholly un-
concerned at his arrest and he did not
pay any attention to what was going on
scarcely lifting his eyes when spoken to
by the officers who had him in charge.
Tonight the police located Burts
effects at a cheap hotel, 135 Canal street.
In his grip was a bloody hatchet a
bunch of skeleton keys, bottle of
chloroform and a folio containing
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-08-20

genuine bank notes of 800, $50, $50, so
and So denominations. These bills
have been so split that the front and
back of each are shown opposite.
Genuine bills are pasted on counterfeits
of same denominations. Burt says he
used the outfit to teach bank cashiers to
detect counterfeits. In another grip
were found several lunches of burglars
tools. Burt had pawned his revolver,
but the police have recovered it.
Sheriff White of Travis county, Texas,
has wired the Chicago police to guard
against suicide and they are acting ac-
cordingly.
