others she had encountered, proceed
ed from the 6zfe nofr of her life. her
style and beauty.
The woman finally told US that she
had one married son living at ST.
James, Mo-, and another, also married,
at Ft Smith, Ark. She, herself. origin
ally lived with her husband at St.
James. She could not make it very
clear why she would not how live with
them. Though begging her railroad fare
from here to Moberly. she was neatly
If not well dressed. From her own
statements she has been plying the
vocation Of beggar for five years. She
claimed TO have gone to st. Joseph
on Saturday where she remained until
Monday night. Her next stopping
place was Chillicotfie. The mayor of
that city paid her fare to Daltoa and
from there, as we have stated, she
came to Keytesville.
The woman is evidently insane aud
though harmless, her sons, If she really
has any, or her friends should place
her IN some good home She should
certainly not be permitted to travel
over the country as she is doing.

through our brain and tuggiug at our

and all her people were dead. but
we took the precautiou to remove the

SOME FEARFUL DUTIES.

The tables reported by the minority
Of the Senate Finance Committee
strikingly show the inequalities and
consequent inequities of the tariff bill
in the Senate-more moderate, though,
it may be than The original Dingley
bill.
Three groups were made, one of ar
ticles which under the Senate bill
would have to pay duties equivalent
TO 50 TO IS per cent. ad valorem; one
of those ranging from 10 to 100 per
cent; the third those which under the
Senate rates would be taxed over 100
per cent. The tables show that of the
first class there are 202 articles dealt
with in 125 paragraphs of the bill; Of
the second class 81 articles in 80 para
graphs: of the third class 81 articles
enumerated in 80 paragraphs. In the
last class there are duties running from
200 10 349 per cent. and one group. spir-
ituous compounds or preparations, are
subjected to duties equivalent to 1,2O6
per cent.
In his speech introducing the Senate
committees amendments Senator Al
drich said the rates suggested in them
are considerably below those imposed
bv the House bill and in most instances
below those contained in the act OF
1890. The tables prepared by the eX-
merit and presented by the minority OF
the finance committee show that on ia
articles there has been distinct in
crease on the rates of the act of 1890.
Owing to the radical notifications IN
classification in six of fourteen schedules
of dutiable articles it mas been impos-
sible TO define comparisons, although
il is quite evident there are increased
rates in the silk. fax and paper sched-
ules
Hanna opposes the increased beer
tax. because if he did not the ONO
brewers would make trouble for him.
and he has trouble enough as it is. The
same tender regard for the influence OF
the men of malt and hops actuates Plat
and Spooner and several other OF the
bad old men of the Senate.

WHY NOT?

Why would il not be good idea for
the leading spirits of the local Democ-
racv TO enter into negotiations with
Hon. William Jennings Bryan TO include
Wheeling in his lecture tour? OF
course. the eloquent statesman could
make more money in the larger cities,
but it is not money alone that Mr.
BRYAN is after in his lecture tour. He
is willing at all times TO aid his party
and the great cause he so grandly ad-
vocates.
Mr.. Bryan is shorty to lecture in
Cleveland. a great many false stories
have been circulated by the Republican
press regarding Mr.. Bryan's lecture
tour. Il has been said that he is work
ing under the auspices of syndicate,
which divides the proceeds with him.
II was said. also, that certain number
of men calling themselves by some sill
yer name undertook to persuade Mr..
BRYAN TO come to Cleveland ald lecture
for no other purpose than to make some
money for themselves; that Mr.. Bryan
finally wrote to certain parties connect
ed with the former Bryan association
and asked who these men were. The
party written to wrote back that he
did not know such an association, and
thereupon Mr.. Bryan replied that he
was willing to lecture in Cleveland and
that half of the proceeds might go for
the benefit of the local Democracy and
the other half be retained by himself
1t has even been inumated that Mr..
Bryan would give one-half of the hat
which was coming to him 10 the local
Democracy.
The wonderful campaign made by Mr.
Bryan, his great energy and eloquence,
are facts in history. No man in the
United States ever made such personal
campaign or had more loyal or earnest
followers. Thousands of men voted for
him because Of his honest manhood,
his correct life and his devotion to the
principles which he advocated and be-

EWING BROS.

lieved to be in the interest of the peo-
pie and of his country. Whenever and
wherever he speaks he commands al
tention and the multitude throng to
hear him.
Why not endeavor to have Mr.. Bryan
deliver a lecture in Wheeling? He
would pack the largest hall in Ohio
county. He would come as lecturer,
as a private citizen, but with all the
eclat of his wonderful campaign. When
ever Mr.. Bryan talks he says some
thing worth hearing. He would at
tract people from far and near and
from all over the State. 1t would be
good thing for the city and good thing
for the cause of the people, which Mr..
Bryan so ably and ardently advocates.

Business can't be done On falling
prices. AT least it won't be done.
Every business man recognizes this
fact and the business men q the Uni
ted States are tired of trying to do
business under these conditions. \
stock Of goods on hand which to-day
may be worth $4,000 is a very differ
ent stock. il. AZ the end Of ninety days,
or even SIX months, it has declined 10
per cent. and there is a very different
feeling in the mind Of the owner. 1t
is not alone the loss of S2.5OO-that
is very small part Of the loss. On a
declining market people buy very re-
mcta-tly and very sparsely. II is Won
derful how sensitive the people are
when they know that prices are de-
cuuing. they wait, expecting a further
decline. and hope TO buy cheaper. There
IS something more than this; when
mar. cts are on the decline there is no
heart i'm business. The merchant or
manufacturer does not know how 10
reckon for the future. II 1t is but a
slight decline he is fearful Of loss, and
therefore he buys lightly himself and
manufactures only on orders. and there
is a constant feeling of uncertainty.
IL is quite essential TO restore conf
deuce To merchants and TO manufact-
urers. aud such a confidence as will give
them courage 10 do business. TO buy
goods with the expectation that there
will De an increase in the market. or
10 manufacture goods with the conf
dence that there will be jobbers on
hand. or. NJ least. users. who will de-
mand and purchase the articles made.
The confidence needed i, not simply
confidence that a gold dollar is worth
S5.S graius of sold. There is a broader
confidence than that needed in the land
and IL VIII never come until something
is done TO set the wheels Of Industry
moving again. Money locked up in
the banks is no criterion of conf
deacs: on the other hard it is an evil
t7cce of a lack Of confidence in the
future. When there IS a great demand
for money for business it is an evidence

THE TURK AS DANDY.

A Turkish Apollo has been discover
ed at the capital in the person of Sefed-
din Bey. youthful Turkish diplomat
so statuesquely handsome as to have
won the title of the young Greek god
II seems that he has turned the heads
of all the society butterflies in Wash
ington. They idolize him. In the first
place. we are told, his charms OF face
and figure make such a success easily
possible. Then. it is said, he dances
ike a moonbeam on the water" Again,
he is ineligible as a husband, unless
some American girl is willing to accept
him on the cummunal basis peculiar to
the harem system, consequently his
feminine worshipers cannot safely bring
him down from his pedestal. Finally,
the graceful Turk is enveloped in the
atmosphere of mystery and intrigue
naturally attaching to his native land
and from this Economically attractive
atmosphere his superb dark eyes" are
described as looking rather contempt
uously at the fashionable maidens who
show none of the coyness in vogue in
the harem.'
Sefeddin Bey as the leader Of Wash
ington cotillons is, therefore, easily
without a rival. American society men
even the brilliant Apollos of the army
and navy-are more or less ec,ipsed
socially by the foreign diplomats. Eng
lishmen have most often led as Wash
ingtoa's favorites, with an occasional
French exquisite relieving the monot-
ony of Anglican success. But now
comes the Turk, interchangeable if not
unspeakable. and again a European con-
cert-that of social diplomacy-must
needs give him the front seat.
Some day the Nourmahal OF a harem
vet to be organized by this latest eX-
emplar of Mos,em conquest will have
rare treat in store for her idle hours.
What she won't know about the strange
ways of Giaour maidens will not be
worth knowing. Sefeddin Bey is &C
curing the necessary data now for her
enlightenment.
