known to be the best building up medic

The following are recommended
tions and suggestions from Pres
ident McKinley's message:
"The ia riff having been settled
at the extra session, the currency
question is the next pressing.
We should not hesitate to enter
upon a revision which will make
the demand of our obligations
less onerous and thus relieve the
financial laws from ambiguity
and doubt. The evil of The pres
ent system has been found to be
of great cost to the government
in maintaining the parity of diff
ferent forms of money. We can
not be long needless of this bur-
den, which is an expensive and
dangerous menace to the nation
al credit. We have 5000, OOO,O 900
which the government by solemn
enactment has undertaken to
keep on par with gold. No
body is obliged to redeem in gold,
but the government, which is
without any fixed gold revenue.
With the revenues equal to the
expenses, there would be no def
cit requiring the issuance of
bonds, but if the gold reserve
falls below the hundred million
mark, how will it be replenished
except by selling bonds 20
He suggests that when the
government receipts are equal to
it's expenses, that U. S. notes,
presented for redemption, be set
apart, only to be paid out in ex-
change for gold, so that these
notes may not become cross to
the government in time of finan-
cial stress. He approves the
idea of national banks being al
lowed to issue notes of the face
value of bonds deposited to Sc
cure circulation, and that banks
may be established with capital
of $4,000 to aid communities,
small villages, etc.
Regarding Spain, he thinks
she should have more time to
carry out her recent good inten-
tions towards Cuba and her peo-
pie, and in view of SPANS efforts
to care for the helpless and per-
hitting the resumption of Guilt
walton of fields, releasing the
Competitor prisoners and all
Americans, recalling Weyler and
putting in authority a man more
humane and just, and doing what
she could to show her kindly feel
ings toward the United States,
in view of all this, we should keep
our hands off, yet not be unmindful
of our interests nor abate our ef-
forts to bring about a lasting
peace.
He believes in the annexation
Of Hawaii, and if so, it be &C
corded self government.
He hopes that international
arbitration may yet be adopted;
that the navy should be siren 9Th
ened, and the Kansas, Pacific
Railway should not be sacrificed
to the loss Of the government,
and, If necessary, it should be
bought in.

OVER THE RIVER BANK
Went Negro Thief While Fleeing From
 officers to Avoid Arrest.

About 9:30 o'clock last night (Thursday) three pistol shots rang out with a startling sound on West Court street and caused many people to rush to the scene, thinking that a fight or fire was in progress, when |it was learned that the firing was done by a police officer who was chasing a negro thief.
 Shortly before the firing of the pis tol negro who answers to. the name of Alex Mitchell, stepped in front of the Court House and at
 tempted to sell a handsome gold
 watch at q very low figure to sl gem tlema.l of this city. The circumstan- ces were SD suspicious that the ger tleman pointed the negro aut to HI officer ai.d asked that he be arfpsteii.
 The negro saw the officer approach ing and took to his heels and fled north on Court street. He was not familiar with the town and just be fore reaching the river bank the officer fired his pistol with the hope of frightening the thief and making him stop Mitchell Burned to look
 back just as he reached tine river
 bank. and the next step taken car
 ried him over the high bank and he fell at least twenty feet to the hard earth beneath and then rolled into the water. The officer ran up and aided him to getu theembankment.
 when it was found that one of his arms was broken in two places. He was carried t0 the Court House and his wounds given surgical attention.
 The watch the negro stole from
