Gold Versus Life.

Men are at present risking their lives for
gold. There Is stampede of eager, willing
martyrs to the inhospitiable country of the
Klondyke. Many will perish from cold
and hunger. Not one quarter of the peo-
pie who 90 there will ever return. Not
one half Of those who do return will return
any richer that they went. They will not
only endanger their health, but their lives,
for the sake of gold. And yet everybody
says that health is more precious than gold.
The thing which restores health is, there
fore, more precious than gold. Peru-na
restores health, cures all forms of weakness,
all forms an stages Of catarrh, builds up
brokendown constitutions, brings new life

maturely old. The latest and best book

The Populists in the Farmers National
Congress were badly defeated during its
sessions. "Calamity" Weller, of Iowa,
introduced resolution for restoration of
free coinage of silver. This was reported
unfavorably and rejected. Then came
resolution favoring the prohibition Of
s'private monopoly in public necessities"
even to the extent of the exercise of the
right of eminent domain and the acquire
ment of such necessities by the state. On
against the resolution was developed.
Another financial resolution was similarly
disposed of after short discussion to avoid
ilibustering, which had been resorted to
by the populists. Later in the day the
p0pulists were again ''turned down" on
the final report of the committee on reso-
1utions. Resolutions were adopted COM
mending the secretary Of agriculture for
his efforts in behalf of the dairy industry;
favoriDg government inspection and grad
ing of butter for export, and the reduction
of official salaries; providing for com:
mlttee to report plan for cooperation be-
tween the states for the prevention of the
spread of contagious diseases among do
nestle animals. Resolutions introduced
by Mr.. Loucks favering the income tax,
government control of telegraph and tele.
phone, the prohibition of corporate owner
ship of land for speculative purposes. and
the Initiative and referendum had been
turned down in committee, and Mr.. Loucks
had made minority report in each case.
He was allowed to speak in support of each

REED STICKS TO SILVER.
He RepudiRtes the Alleged Interview
in a New York Paper.

in New York Paper.
Brunswick, Ga, April 15.-National
populist committeeman, and Hon. Tom
Watsons political manager, H. w. Reed,
denies emphatically the interview publish
ed in the New York Sun of April II. This
interview quoted Mr. Reed as having
changed his financial views since his late
residence in Mexico. and announced him
as new convert to and advocate of the
gold standard.
On the interview, he said to the Morning
News correspondent tonight: Il have
never been interviewed by the New York
Sun or any other paper on my financial
views since my return from Mexico, and
1 emphatically deny the right of any man
to change my views without my permits
sion.
MY stay in Mexico has only served to
strengthen the views which l have hither-
to held and which were formed long since
as a result of careful, logical, independent
investigation that the gold standard is a
monstrous mistake and will certainly bring
disaster and ruin in its track
THE statement made by the Sun that 1
have gone into gold mining in Mexico is
correct, but that cannot be construed into
an admission on my part that the gold
standard is right. l am interested in
mines of both gold and silver in Mexico,
but that fact has no possible connection
with my abstract opinion as to what is
right and best for the people in financial
matters.
Gold and silver are merely articles of
commerce, as wheat and cotton are. At
present there is a tremendous demand for
gold, and I, as a business man, finding an
opportunity to supply an infnitesimal por-
ton of that demand in a way that will
earn me an honest livelihood, enter into
the business.
Under bimetallism or even under the
more intelligent system of government
legal tender paper 1 would do the same so
long as the business l engaged in was
honorable and profitable.
Il am ready to plant myself squarely
before the people as an advocate of bime-
tallsm. and further than that. l will say
that my stay in Mexico has made stronger
my belief that the United States in adopt
ing the gold standard has given a blow to
democratic principles and republican in
stitutions that will be hard
to recover from. We have fastened upon
us an aristocracy of wealth bringing pow
erty and misery to the common people and
injury to our business interests. and the
only way to bring financial prosperity is
to break the money trust with new sup
ply of government paper the free coinage
of silver and the frmer establishment of
an independent American system of
finance free from the domination Of Euro
pean capitalists"

oRIswELL's CONTRADICTIONS
He Now swenrs That All His Confess
siOns Were False.


Macon, Ca. April 15.-Warren Crlswell
created the sensation in the Tom Shaw
train-wrecking trial at Jeffersonville to-
day. These dispatches have told Of how
Criswell confessed the whole crime and
told in detail how he and Shaw removed
the rail over the creek just before the two
Southern railway trains came bullying
along after dark This confession was
made at one and all times, and Criswel
always took pleasure in explaining every
point which seemed to puzzle the public.
But at his trial, when he was convict
ed at Jacksonville, one year ago, he de-
MED being implicated In the crime, and
said he knew absolutely nothing about 1t.
In spite of this, however, he was proven
guilty, and since his sentence he has been
wearing convict stripes at the Gress lum>
Der camp
At Shaws mistrial last spring Criswell
was a witness against him. He said then
that his confession was true, and that
the only reason he denied ii on his own
trial was because his counsel, joseph Fl.
Hall, of Macon, made him do il. But to-
day he says his confessions are all false;
that neither he nor Shaw had anything to
do with the crime. Under cross-examina>
ton by the state, he having been put up
this time by the defense, he created the
impression that he is tired of wearing
stripes himself, and thinks he can talk
himself out of the penitentiary.
The trial will be concluded by Saturday
in all probability.

DABY's BODY IN A BOX.
WeII-KnOwn Young Man of Atlanta
Held in n Murder Case.


Held in a Murder Case.
Atlanta, Ca, April 15.-Arthur d. Cole,
a young man well known about town, was
sent to jail this afternoon upon a charge
of accessory to murder. preferred by the
verdict of coroner's jury.
Cole was arrested early this morning
under circumstances suggesting a most
grewsome crime. Last night he went into
a barroom on Prior street. and left box
in the keeping of one of the negro attend
ants, saying that he would come back for
it later on. In arranging some of his
wares the barkeeper knocked the box off
the shelf and thus it was broken open,
disclosing its contents to be the dead
body of an infant boy.
The police were quickly placed on the
trail of Cole, and when he was run down,
he said that he had found the box and its
contents on the railroad tracks. To-day
when taken before the coroner's jury,
Cole refused to open his lips to tell any
thing about the infant. Physicians, who
made a postmortem examination, testified
that the infant had been killed.
Cole, who is connected with some of the
best families in the city, will be held "a
answer the charge of murder until he
clears up the mystery surrounding the
identity of the child and the manner in
which it came TO it's death. When he
first went into the barroom he tried to
borrow SIS presumably to get out of town
on, after leaving the ghastly box with the
porter.

Atlanta, Ga, April &c. c. Martin, a
dapper looking young man. was placed

WANT TRAFFIC STIRRED UP.
Some Western Roads Advocate Low
er Pnsscnger Fares.

Some Western Roads Advocate Low
CIR Passenger Fares.
Chicago, April 15-Some of the western
railroads are openly advocating a reduc-
ton in passenger rates to what they term
an emergency basis" The reason they
give for the wish to cut the rates is that
the passenger business is dead and that
some measures are needed to increase the
volume of traffic
The opponents of lower fares say that
if the rates are reduced there may be
some trouble, in view of the supreme
court decision in getting the rates back
to their old basis again without taking
some action that would be illegal They
think it would be most inadvisable at the
present time to reduce rates for the rea-
son that it will give the various legisla>
lures of the western states an idea that
the roads can make money with the rates
at lower point than they now are and
that hostile legislation will ensue.
The advocates of the lower rates have
no argument to offer, save that in their
opinion the cheap fares will stir up traf-
fic, and if it only gets started it will Keep
moving, even after rates are restored to
their old level.
There is no chance of a concerted re-
duction in rates, but as long as there is
a strong element which favors the reduc-
ton of the rates a general feeling of inse-
curty will prevail among the roads. The
general committee of the passenger agents
of the western roads, which has for two
weeks been working on the new agreement
for the new association has finished its la
bors. The agreement is practically the
same as the old agreement with the excep-
ton that it contains no provision regard
ing the maintenance of rates. There is no
doubt that it will be adopted by the execu-
tive officers practically as it stands.

vIRGINIA's EPWORTH LEAGUE.
No state Convention to Be Held This
Year

No state Convention to Be Held This
Year.
Richmond, Va, April 15.-It has been de-
cided that there will be no state confer
ence of the Epworth Leaguers this year.
President Dowlings has just issued an
address, in which he says: at has been
decided by the state council to postpone
the annual meeting of the state Epworth
League conference to 1898
There was a feeling at the conference
in Lynchburg among some of the leaders
that to hold a conference every year
would be too often. That feeling has
deepened until it has become a convic>
ton in the minds of many.
THAT fact however would not have led
to postponement If there had not been
other and special reasons for it, AS is well
known, the international conference oc>
ours at Toronto on July Is, and that there
should be no conflict it was provided by
the council that the Norfolk conference
should be held the week before, so that
by special excursion from Norfolk, those
wishing to attend the international might
do so on the one trip.
I'VE find, however, after conferences
with the Norfolk local committee, that so
late in the season as that, when seaside
people are off to the mountains, II would
be next TO impossible to have a successful
meeting and the very latest date at which
the Norfolk conference could be held
would be about the oath Of June. This,
then. was our embarrassment. Leaguers
would go to Norfolk on the Path of June,
and returning would be home only few
days before the international at Toronto.
Norfolk takes the conference in 1898,
and promises the greatest meeting of the
kind this royal old city by the sea has
ever seen"
