This figures up something like ST.,
$40, OeO, 900 Of legal tender silver, coming
value, now in use among the nations as
money. If silver continues to decline in
price and is discarded as money, all
this vast sum must 60 into the limbo Of
nothingness.
Who is to bear this loss? What is
to become of the commerce of the silver
countries-England's best customers
if their money is to be wiped out? Mex
leo has already put a stop to foreign
trade for this cause. Must not all the
other silver countries do likewise if the
decline continues?
The great question Of bimetallism
thus confronts the word in the most
acute form assumed since Germany,
France and the United States demoRe-
tized the white metal 25 years ago. AS
the Springfield Republican, gOldite
paper, says;
This renewed break in the bullion
market from the causes mentioned may
be a fact 10 rejoice over in its diseour-
aging effects upon the reconciliation
movement in the United States, but
after that, what? Consider the situa-
ton. Here are the nations OF the civ
ilized and semicivilized world, which,
with only one notable exception, have
become tied to the employment of i'm
mense amounts of silver as money. II
represents the accumulations of cen
turtles of faith in its perpetuity as q
stable and solid possession. But at
last, and for the first time in history,
the world awakes to the knowledge
that the once precious metal has be-
come base and cheap and common, and
| that the very bottom of the great none
tary stores in it has fallen out and
left them hanging high on the slender
| peg Of government fat"
Is it not, in view of the facts here
referred to, more imperatively neces'
sary than ever before for the people OF
the world to throw off the shackles
with which they are being bound to
gold by the shylocks and security
| spectators and restore silver to the
place it has heretofore occupied as one
Of the primary money metals Of the
world? The bulk of the commercial
and Industrial depression and disasters
Of the last quarter Of a century are du'
to the sealing down process Of the golC
standard, and prosperity viii never b'
permanently restored until gold is de
throned as the absolute monarch o.
the worlds exchanges. It is of vita
interest, therefore, not only to the
| United States, but to the world, that sill
yer should be replaced where it ono
was. God speed the day! - Illinois

WORK OF BANDITS
Rock island Train Held Up and Looted
Near cbiekasha, J. 7.
Five Masked Men in Bread Daylight Com
pei Section Hen 70 Flag tho Train
Passengers Robbed bot Express
Money Not Secured.

WIoHITA, Kan, Oct. 2.-0ne OF the
boldest train Tobberies in the history
Of the Indian territory occurred yes,
Eterday forenoon at 1880 on the Rock
Island just this side Of Chiekashs, L I.
The general supposition is that it was
the work Of Al Jennings and his gang.
There were FIVE men in the party, and
they ali wore masks. They rode over
on horses from the east. and compelled
some section men to flag the south
bound passenger train. The robbers
hid IN the brush and had the wOrkmen
covered with their rifles. When the
train stopped one OF the robbers
stepped into the cab and covered the
/ engineer and fireman, while the other
four made for the express car, where
they tried to blow open the through
safe with dynamite. The safe resisted
the dynamite, but the express car was
blown to atoms. The robbers next
lined up all the passengers on the out
side Of the cars and went through
them, securing about $500 in money
and many watches and diamonds.
The mail bags were riied and Ill reg
lstered packages taken.
BIoodhounds have been s, Mt for,
while deputies have gone in pursuit,
being careful not to obbterate the
trail A large posse of men from
Chickasha is following the bandits
closely, while posses front 81 Reno
and other points that could be reached
by telegraph are engaged In an effort
to surround the gang. 1t may be ex.
pected that lively battle will be
fought when the posses come up with
the outlaws. 1t is hardly possible,
FROM the prairie condition Of the coun.
try, that they can escape, unless they
reach the Wichita mountains.
The railroad has been expecting q
holdup of its night train for several
weeks, and heavy guards were placed
on trains at Ell Reno and run through
to Chickasha, but no guards were car.

Of :sse Honeymoon,
Charley Wheeler aud Lpeiile spseck-
ett had been married nearly three
weeks. and they had just returned
from their wedding trip They were
supremelg happy in each others love,
and the honeymoon so far had been To
them rs one long, biissfui dream.
Within the next day or two, however,
the bride grew slightly depressed in
spirits, and an uneasy feeling seemed
to take possession Of her The young
husband noticed the change, but at
tFibuted it to fatigue from the recen;
travels. But his bride grew more
nervous and took on zach troubled
expression that he said to her:
'You have something on your mind.
darling, that is troubling you. Tell
me what it is"
ut first she tried to persuade him
that he was mistaken; that nothing
worried her.
s'You are wrong, Charley, dear" she
would say. Really, am not worry
Ing over anything. 1 am just as happy
as I could be-"
The day following, however, the
young wife wore such troubled look
that her husband said to her;
Lucille, you must tell me what is
troubling you. Will not be put of
any longerA As your husband have
right 70 know"
Seeing that further concealment was
impossible, she broke down and sobbed
bitterly:
''0h, Charley, am SO unhappy" she
walled. q Observation-Disclosures"
A sickening sensation swept over the
young husband, Surely there must be
some mistake. She, whom he had
looked upon as the personifcation OF
innocent womanhood-deceive him. It
must not be, 1t would destroy his
happiness and blight his life. And
then, when he caught a sudden vision
of the horrible possibilities of the stu
alton, he became sick at heart and al.
most fell to the floor. Then, with a
great effort, he controlled his feelings
"Tell me" he said, Il am prepared
for the worst"
"0h, Charley, I am SO sorry"
"You should have thought of this
before"

Then she came over and knelt at hi
feet
''oh, Charley, you know the wheel
