President Diaz took the matter very
calmly and advised that the man be kept
in custody until tomorrow and that he
be brought before him 10 explain his mo-
t.ves, apparently believing that he had
no murderous intent, But the police feel
that the case is one that demands the
deepest investigation, and they counsel

ATLANTA. GA. Sept l6-several
Southern cities. including Charleston,
Chattanoora and Montgomery have quar-
antined against Atlanta. In some quar-
ters the reason for this act OF precaution
on the part Of those cities may not be
understood
The quarantine against Atlanta Is not
established because the authorities Of the
ouarantining cities fear that there IS yell
low fever in Atlanta or because they be-
liove the climatic conditions Of this city
are such as would be likely 10 endanger
the health OF the city by receiving,
STRAIGHT from infected sources those flee
ing from the yellow fever
The fact IS that the cities quarantining

CONGRESSMAN RIDGELEY, of the Bird
district of this state, has introduced
a bill in the House entitled a bill "to
enable the unemployed to earn living,
to utilize industry, and produce gener-
al prosperity" The bill is based on
tue non-interest bearing bond plan and
provides for the construction OF public
improvements, repairing and making
roads, etc., and is just what is needed
to employ idle labor and at the same
time resulting in great benefit to the
general public. But Ridgeley's bill
will be buried hopeless ly by this con-
gress. The republican party will new
er consent to any plan by which idle
labor can be employed unless it Is a
scheme by which capitalists are enabled
to speculate with human blood and
muscle. The republican party endors-
es no social system except the one
which enables capital to deal in human
bodies as so much merchandise to be
bought at the lowest possible figure.
But Congressman Ridgely is nobly do.
ing his duty. He rs faithful to the
platform on which he made his cam
baigD and his work is being appreciat.
ed by his constituents. Next week-we
will publish the bill herein referred to.

By scanning late interviews
we learn that Lewelling has
promised to vote for a maxi.
mum freight rate law if an
extra session of the legisla-
ture is called. It is our opin-
ion that Mr.. Lewelling is a
little late to reform, and the
question naturally arises as to
how long he will stick to his
agreement. He broke faith
once and he might do it
again. However, we will
hope that he will partially
redeem himself if given an
opportunity.

To THOSE who are continually harp
ing about the good times we are under.
going at present, we want to invite at
tentIon to Bradstreet's report of two
weeks ago, which says:
1.-The depression in iron and steel con.
tinues, and Bessemer pig and steel bill
lets have reacted another % cents ton.
The outlook favors an increase in labor
disturbances to resist midsummer wage
reductions. The bituminous coal min
ing industry is worse than the antbra-
cite, with rumors of strikes, which
promise to prove an unfayorable infiu-
ence on other than the iron and steel
industries"
We have read this quotation very
carefully several times, but we have
utterly failed to see any of the ear
marks of prosperity, either in or be-
tween the lines. If any of our readers
see them they will confer favor by
calling at this office and pointing them
out. Come early and avoid the rush.

When the insurance companies start
ed in to''play horse''with Webb McNall
they probably thought they had what
is commonly styled ''puddin'," but
they have changed their minds very
materially since that time. Last week
Supt. McNall called attention to the
following statement in the weekly
Underwater, an insurance paper, rel
alive to the insurance companies which
were refused license to do business in
the state: ''These companies are still
doing business in Kansas under the pro
lection of the federal courts" McNall
asserts that the companies are not do
ing bulness in Kansas under the pro-
lection of the federal courts; neither
will they continue to do business IN
Kansas under the protection of the fed
eral courts; that courts in Kansas are
not making law for the insurance de-
partment by Injunction, and, in addi-
ton, that neither the New York Life
Insurance company, the Mutual Life
Insurance company, nor the Connecti-
cut Mutual Life Insurance company
are doing business in Kansas, and un-
der no circumstances will they be per-
mitted to do business in Kansas until
licensed by the insurance department.
Continuing the Commissioner of In
surance says: THAT in the injunction
asked for by the New York Life Insur-
ance company against the superinten-
dent, filed last week, and asking the
court to restrain said insurance COM
missioner from interfering with the
business of the New York Life Insul-
ance company, there was no injunction
granted. Under the decisions of the
courts no such injunction can be grant
ed; the aforesaid insurance journals
are simply in error. and, in conclusion,
the federal court is not running the in
surance department in this state"

q. s. GOLD Is GOING.

Foreign capitalists are withdrawing
gold rapidly from this country and If
the expectations continue few months
longer another bond issue can be ex-
pected. Immediately after McK;nley's
election gold was forced out to every
bank in the country for political effect,
of course. But the tide Is beginning to
change and our gold is going abroad.
TO show what is going on in financial
circles, we publish the following press
dispatch. To say it is alarming is to
put it mildly. Politicians and capital
lists may work a smooth game and fool
the people for time, but the true stu
alton will present its appearance in
due season:
New York. April 3O.-Von Hoffman & Co..
ship 81 500, 600 gold to Europe tomorrow. Lag
ard Freres will ship 81 $50. 900 mixed gold bars
and coin and Heidelbach, Ickelheimer & Co.,
will ship 100000 and Kuhn, Loeb & Co., will
ship $5O0.OO0. making the total of gold ship
ments announced thus far So, 10000.
1t is stated that Kidder. Peabody g. Co. will
| increase their previously announced shipment
| it is possible that ii may reach $I,OOO,OO0.
The total shipments of gold to Europe for
| the week ending May 1. is S. .227 900. This IN
cludes the shipments announced for tomor-
| row. On Tuesdsy next Kidder, Peabody s. Co.
will ship $750OOo making the grand total of
announced and actual shipments from April
q to May 4, Sc, $40. 600.
1t would appear some of the gold which is
| going abroad will be taken from the vaults of
| the New York banks which now hold approx
mately s90.OO0,OOO in gold. Tho New York
banks have such large reserves that any de.
mand for gold would be looked upon with ia
| vor, at least, this is the statement that the
banks give out. There is a possibility there
fore, the stock of gold held by the banks
| would be drawn upon quite heavily before
there is any considerable Withdrawals from
the treasury. The demand for gold In London
continues strong. but in cablegram from
| there it was said that the gold to be shipp ed
from the United States would probably go di.
rect to Vienna, which has been drawing upon
the stock of gold held by the Bank of England
