It had been agreed by Arnold Luet-
CERT son of Adolph Luetgert, with the
Columbia Photograph company that
it should have an option upon the
talk" fer two weeks at $4,000. and if
the company declined to buy at that
time the 50 per cent contract should
remain in force. Luetgert upset all
negotiations by refusing to talk until
a contract is made assuring him of so
per cent of the receipts.
Talk is cheap. as a general thing"
said he, but my talk costs money to-

CORTLAND Shaw, manager of the

graphic machine, which had been car
ried to Luetgert's cell: ''Adolph L..

taken in the county Jail. Oct. 5, 1897"
Then Luetgert was urged to make his

She is described as a travelling evan

washington letter.

The reports from Ohio that General
Warner has announced himself as
candidate for the senate creates
good deal of amusement here. Gener-
al Warner has been a well-known fig
urc in Washington ever since his term
in congress long ago, and his appear
ance here has always been signal
for an outbreak of the silver question.
He has been pronounced and sue
cossful calamity bowler for years, and
may perhaps be credited with the in
vention of the calamity cry, for he
was among the first, If not the very
first. 10 make ii the burden of his song
in behalf of silver People have for
years looked upon him as harmless
and eccentric old man, and the idea
that the Democrats of the great state
of Ohio would think of sending him to
fill the seat occupied by George Pen
dleton, Allan G.. Thurman and other
distinguished representatives OF that
party never entered the mind of the
most imaginative student of the polit-
ical field. Nor is it supposed now that
he is seriously in mind by anybody of
rfuence or authority in the party.
The impression here IS that Warner
has been induced" by Mclean to put
his name in as senatorial candidate
simultaneously with the semi-month-
~ announcement OF McLean's with
drawal in the hope of catching few
silver votes and adding another COM
plication to the already befuddled con-
dition Of the public mind as to the real
attitude of the Ohio Democrats upon
national issues. 1t is believed that the
announcement that Towne and other
driven out of Ohio by Allen O'Myers
and that McLean's having abandoned
| the silver feature has so Off, 7ded the
silver people that Mclean h. deemed
| il advisable to try to pull them back
into line by putting Warner to the
front as a senatorial candidate. OF
course nobody supposes that Warner
could command any strength among
the members Of the legislature for
| the senate. though his alleged candida
cy might lead few extreme silverites
to vote for such legislative candidate
as he could personally endorse. The
feeling here is that if Mr.. Mclean is
able to SCOOP in few silver votes for
members OF the legislature by presen-
tation of Warmers name as a senator
ial candidate his entire purpose will
have been served, and he expects ;tt
take care of" the rest after the mem
bers are elected.

A Scotch Argument.

Ii is unfortunate that the rulers OF

Free-Trade with every country in the

cannot raise all the food We consume,
but we have the option of opening our
ports TO our own colonies, but as re-
CARDS manufactured goods, sent here
to compete with our own workmen,

American Products Again.

1t is encouraging to note that while
empty vessels are coming to our ports
for grain which must be paid for in
European gold, the rush of foreign
manufactured products to our markets
which prevailed during the closing
days of the consideration of the Ding
ley bill has ceased. While American
farmers are exchanging the products
of the soil for good money, there Is
at least promise that American work
ingmen are to have an opportunity to
supply the people of this country with
the things which have during the
past three or four years been manu-
featured in European workshops and
factories by underpaid workmen-

Chapman's Currency Greed.

The amour cement Of Candidate
Chapman of Ohio that he favors only
gold. silver and United States notes
as the currency Of the country has led
some curious investigator to look into
his record with reference to their
classes of currency His record as to
the issue of scrip at his mine is well
known in Ohio, but it may be inter-
esting to voters in that state to know
also that he has taken advantage OF
the opportunity given him under the
law to issue national bank notes, de-
spite his assertion that the only kind
of paper money which he favors Is
United States notes. The :nvestiga-
ton of the official records of the First
National bank of Js ckson, Of which he
is president, shows that 1t has and
has had for years very considerable
issue of national bank currency based
upon bonds deposited with the treas
ury, and that in spite Of Mr. Chap
mans insistence that he believes in no
kind of paper money except green
backs, no effort is being made by him
as president of the bank to withdraw

respect is very stringent, there being
n heavy fine for it's non-observance.
Several of the large mining companies
who have been accustomed to cut the
timber for the heavy pieces only and
have left the tops on the ground have
been warned to desist, and, MS re-
suit, great quantities Of top wood are
being brought to the cities. BY tax
ing these precautions the danger from
