THE APPRECIATION OF GOLD
AS the use Of silver for money de-
creases the demand for gold to sup
ply its place increases. With tho
increase in demand for gold its value
must increase, unless the supply is
made to keep pace with the increased
demand. Can supply keep up with
demand-frst to supply Russia, In
dia, Japan, China-all Asia perhaps
with gold standard second, to
supply the increasing needs of a
growing population and business
1t is impossible. People talk as
though Alaska had settled that aues-
ton. But rich as the Klondike
fields may be, it is certain that this
year more money will go to Alaska
than will come from there; and it
Is doubtful if next year even Alaska
will yield more than this new trade
will itself absorb, besides, all that
Alaska is likely to yield may be off
set many times by currency contrac-
ton under the operation of the
Treasury, by which greenbacks are
impOunded or the effective volume
of currency otherwise contracted. -

CHIEF STEELE'S SS3.4O.
How He Got it on a Private Ex-
petition
Having Nothing to Do With
His Duties.
AS Chief of Police Of the City of To-
peka-A Poor Girls Sacrifice and
Another Instance of Justice
Court "Costs."

If anyone believes that Chief of Police
Steele is giving all of his valuable ser
vices to the city for the paltry sum of
800 per month he is very much mis-
taken-there are a few perquisites con-
nected with the office of chief of police.
A case in point came up recently in
Justice Guys court and Chief Steele
cleared the neat sum of $3.50.
A young man by the name of John
Esham stole a bicycle in Topeka two or
three weeks ago. He sold the wheel in
Jefferson county and went to Fit. LeaV-
enwOrth and enlisted in the army. Chief
Steele heard that the young man was al
FIT. Leavenworth and he set out post
haste to bring him back leaving Topeka
criminals to take care of themselves.
The man wanted was out on maneuv-
ertng expedition and Chief Steele did
not wait for him. A few days after
ward he went back to Leavenworth and
got his man.
A sister of the accused who lives in
Topeka heard of the trouble in which
her brother was involved and she set
out to help him out and keep him out of
the penitentiary. She had saved 500
and she was willing to spend all of it
TO keep her brother out of the peniten-
tiary.
The county attorney obligingly chang
ed the charge to petit larceny and
Esham was fined 81 and costs When
Chief Steele came to make out his bill
he claimed $3.50. He was paid The
deputy county attorney was paid S12 so
for the trial" Constable Stonestreet
got $4.25 for bringing the prisoner into
court and Justice Guy received $435.
The young lady paid $3.50 to get her
brother out of Jail and Chief Steele re-
ceiVed the bulk of the money Part of
Chief Steele's charges were for hiring
detective in LeavenwOrth.
Besides that the girl paid the expen-
ses of recovering the stolen wheel and
when she got through and her brother
had been released from Jail the 500 had
melted away into nOthingness She
earned it all working hard in a Iaun-
dry.

KILLED BY CANNTBALS.
Treacherous Natives of Solomon Is
lands Lure Sailors to Their
DISTINCTION.

San Francisco. June 4.-Advices per
the steamship MaripOsa, from Sydney.
n. S. W., state that another tragedy
has been enacted by the treacherous
natives of the Solomon islands, presum-
ably for cannibalistic purposes.
While lying in Navarro lagoon Cap
tain Wilson was asked to go ashore in
a boat with three natives. AS the ISL
anders appeared to be friendly the
crew of the boat accepted their invita-
ton to accompany them to their village
near by, but Wilson decided to remain
with the boat. When out of sight of
captain Wilson the islanders attacked
the crew, killing one on the spot and
wounding the others. The latter, how
ever, made a dash for the boat but only
one man managed to reach it, as VIII
son was compelled to sheer off the
shore and the murderous natives over
took the other wounded sailor as he
was swimming out to the schooner.
Wilson reached the vessel in safety and
repealed one attack by firing upon the
invaders, who were evidently deter
mined to kill the remainder of the
crew

Tacoma, Wn., June News has been

CRACK CYCLISTS ARRIVES.
he Wants to Meet the Fastest Rider
in America

San Francisco, June Among the
arrivals on the steamer Mariposa from
the antipodes today was Lucien Lesna,
one of the foremost bicycle racing men
of Europe and champion of France, who
has just come from Australia after
very successful campaign against the
crack racing men of that country and
the possessor of all the Australian rec
ords from one to 100 miles.
Lesna comes to this country in
search of more racing men to conquer
and is especially anxious to meet Dav-
id G. Skaters protege, James Michael,
recognized as the long distance cham
pion of the world. Lesna wants also
to meet any of the long distance rid
ers in this country in paced races from
25 to 100 miles.

R. B. NORRIS SUCCESSOR.
His Appointment is Expected Within
Few Days.

Republicans believe that the appoint
ment of an internal revenue collector
for Kansas will be made within a few
days, as the term of r. B. Morris the
Democratic collector appointed by
Cleveland, expires early in July.
There is some question as to when the
three remaining places, pension agent,
United States marshal and United
States attorney will be filled.
The terms of Mr.. Click, pension
agent, and Mr.. Perry, United States at
tOrney, expire early in September. The
term of the United States marshal does
not expire until next January. These
three officers are appointed and con-
hrmed for a term of four years, the
revenue collectors term expiring at the
pleasure of the president.
The names of the four men who will
occupy these positions will probably be
announced at the same time.

RESPITE FOR DURRANT.
Leave to Appeal to the Supreme Court
Gives a Stay of Six Months.

San Francisco, June 4.-The attor-
neys for Theodore Durrant again ap-
peared before Judge Gilbert in the
United States circuit court today and
applied for a writ of supersedeas for
the purpose of staying the execution of
the sentence, but this was denied by
the court.
An application for leave to appeal
from this decision to the supreme court
of the United States was then granted
Although it is an open question whether
in view of the denial of the writ of
supersedeas the order of the court acts
as stay of proceedings, At
torney General Fits wired to
Warden Hale to take no ac-
ton in the premises pending the ap-
peal AS the United States supreme
court does not meet again until October
next, this virtually means a respite for
six months at least.

criminal assault on Mrs. Reidell of this

lynching point. He had three trials in
as many days, the jury in the first two
cases being unable to agree and in the
last trial declaring him guilty and i'm
posing the death penalty. He asserted
his innocence until yesterday when he
admitted that he committed the assault
