MISS SMITHS RING.
She Accused william II. Steadman
OF Stealing II.
Evidence Not 5 rong Against Him and
II: Was Discharg d.

The trial Of William ii. Steadman in the
District Court this morning, or charge OF
stealing diamond ring valued at $40 from
Ethel Smith at the Hotel Dresden on Novem-
ber 4, developed some strange contradictions.
Miss Smith claimed that Steadman took her
ring and failed 10 return it, while, on the
other hand, Steadman maintained that he had
returned the ring The affair occurred at tbs
Dresden Botel, whore the parties in question
were having n drinking bout
The testimony went TO show that the par
ties were all more or less under tho influence
of liquor, and that during the evening Miss
Smiths pocketbook, that had contained the
ring previously, fell to the floor, ana all the
parties began a search ON the floor for the
ring which Miss Smith missed. Judge Sweet
land seemed to think that there was reason
able doubt of Steadman's guilt and gave him
the benefit Of the doubt by discharging him.

A prominent dry goods dealer, re-.
Gently interviewed, said: mot until
the mills all override country are run
ming will the really good business be-
gin. Only when the working
people have money to buy things
with does prosperity come" This
only repeats what we have said be-
fore, that prosperity cannot spring up
in night like Jouah's gourd, just
because Mckinley is elected or even
iuangurated. The working people of
the country must have work and the
pay for that work before business can
really revive The first step toward
prosperity, as President McKinly has
said, is open mills, which will give
work to the people Mills will open
only when a Tariff law is passed
which will Protect those mills and
enable them to produce at profit.
Some revival in business there has
been because OF the expectation OF
such Protection, but real prosperity
will not come until such Protection is
an actuality. That it will come then
we need not doubt.-[Ex.
