He was being followed by an excited
Individual. who was ranidly emptying
the contents of q revolver towards the
retreating banker. NJ lde continued
retreating until he reached the door OF
the auditors Office, where he fell dead.
AS soon as he saw that his victim
had fallen to the floor, the assallant
turned about and disappeared through
the outside entrance. The same IN
stant County Auditor Halliday and
others in the office, being attracted by
the shots, hurried to the scene. Mr..
Halliday passed the PROSTATE form of
Mr.. Ide and hastened after the muir
derer A policeman captured Smith,
but not until after Smith had made
desperate effort to put a ball through
his own brain. The man gave little
resistance when he found that his at
tempt to add suicide to the tragedy
had failed, and was hurriedly taken
to the police station
Scarcely had the incident transpired
when it was discovered that Michael
Ward, who resides at 96 West Mound
street, had also been shot. This; gen
tleman happened to be standing just
inside the court house when the trag-
edy occurred, and was wounded in the
back by one of the bullets from the
murderer'S pistol. He was quickly re-
moved to his home.
The body of Mr.. Ide was carried into
the private office of the county auditor,
where it was laid on the floor to await
the arrival of the friends and family
of the dead banker, and the body was
afterwards removed to the home, 667

MUST NOT SELL MEAT.
Chicago viii Begin Fight on De-
uartment Stores.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Backed by May
or Harrison. Corporation Counsel
Thornton will begin a fight on depart
ment stores next Monday. Proceed
ings will be instituted in some justice
court to compel the department stores
to observe the provisions Of the Walk
er ordinances. These ordinances pro-
vide that in no store where dry goods
are sold shall meat or liquor be dis
pensed. In other words they wipe out
the provision departments Of the big
stores. interviewer with the action to
be begun under the ordinances is the
DuddIeston ordinance which provides
that all sellers of meat in the city
shall take out a license. An elaborate
decision has been reached in the cor
noration counseFs Office that the de-
oartment stores cannot take out a
license under the Duddleston ordi-
nance. This has precipitated the fight
as was expected. Application was
made by the department stores for
meat licenses. The decision of the
corporation counsel is that the Walker
ordinances forbid them to sell meats
and liquors, therefore licenses cannot
be issued. The attorney representing
the department stores in the fight
saws that if the decision is against
them in the justice court, an appeal
will be taken to the circuit court, and
if the action is unfavorable there, final
appeal will be made to the state SUI
preme court.

Ide was shot and killed today by John
Smith. Ide is a banker, and brother
of Commodore Ide, U. S. N. Smith was
arrested. He followed and shot Ide as
he ran. Smith is an English coach
man, sixty-f1ve years of age, who has
worked for William A. Neil eleven
years, and says that Ide owed him
81, ZOO Ide's extensive property is in
the hands of a receiver. Smith says
he asked Ide for money, and Ide said
he would pay him when he got ready,
and attempted to pass into the court
house. Smith shot him in the side
and then in the head, Ide falling dead
in the auditors office. Smith says he
was sane and sober but eXasperated.
Mr.. Ide was of an old family here, his
mother being a Sullivan, daughter of
one Of the pioneers. Death came 50
quickly he did not utter word. The
affair occurred so quickly that the
score or more of persons near the
scene scarcely realized what had hap
pened until it was all over.

saw was the entering form Of Mr.. Ide
at the north entrance of the house.

gain by intelligent discussion of public ques-
tions, carried on in an organization like
yours, not from a standpoint Of PARTISAN
ship, but of good citizenship
Not only are we interested in these funda-
mental elements which constitute national
strength, but we have deep interest in the
material development of the country. No
subject can more engage our attention than
the promotion of trade and commerce at home
and abroad. Domestic conditions are sure to
be improved by larger exchanges with the
ing out with good results. Our surplus prod
ucts of agriculture and manufacture are
finding q foreign market, and in the latter
case to a degree which would not have been
believed possible a quarter Of g. century ago.
We have made wonderful progress in this
direction, and have only just begun. Our
manufacturer products go to every nation
of the world, and l hope the time may not
be far distant when our ships, under the
stars and stripes, will be on every sea where
commerce is carried and the wants of man
kind are to be supplied. r'
Commerce Is teacher. 1t gives mankind
knowledge Of one another. Reciprocity of
trade promotes reciprocity of friendship. Good
trade insures good will. The heart as well
as the mind contributes directly to the prog
ress of mankind, and wherever we secure
just and fair commercial relations with 9TH
er nations we are sure to have friendly po-
litcal relations with them. Abating none Of
our interest in the home market, let us move
steadily out to new fields and increase the de-
mand for our products in foreign markets.
1t should be our settled purpose to open
trade wherever we can, making our ships
and commerce messengers Of peace and amity.
The consular service of the government
should be closely scrutinized and carefully
officered, and we should have at every COM
mercial port of the world sensible and
practical American who, while discharging
all his other duties with honor to the gov
ernment will not omit in every proper way
to promote American exchanges and encourage
reciprocal trade.
Finally if we are entering upon an era
of itu ma hn1
fervently hope remembering our recent panic
and financial experiences, we should strength
en- the weak places in our financial system
and remove it forever from ambiguity and
doubt.

BAD AMERICAN SPIRIT.
Sir Charles Dixie, the well known
Radical member of parliament for the
Forest of Dean division of Gloucester
shire, addressing big meeting at New
castle this week, said he had hitherto
never believed in the embittered feeling
here between capital and labor, or that
capital oppressed labor "as it does in
America But" he added. recent
events showed the uprising of the bad
American spirit here. particularly in
the shipbuilding and engineering
