To the list Of the worlds casualties

of VIM. Kiser. 1t seems that last Sun
day afternoon, Deputy sheriff M. 5.
Elliott received from County Attorney
Cline,a bench warrant for the arrest Of
young Kiser for selling whiskey con-
trary to law. He went to the house OF
Henry Kiser, the young mans father,
early Monday morning and finding
young Kiser in bed, arrested him and
took him to Erie. His bond was placed
at $500. Kiser thought he could give
| the bond if brought back to Thayer
Elliott braught him back, arriving at
Thayer at about $50 o'clock p. m.
They went to the house of Kiser ST.;
as soon as they arrived, and while
Elliott was getting a drink of water
at the well, young Kiser stepped in
side the house for moment, and
reaching up,got down revolver which
hung on nail in the side Of the wall,
and put it in his pocket and was out
again in a second or two. He and ELL
lott at once came down town and after
talking to party or two, young Kiser
started around the corner Of Arnold's
store, walking south, Elliott following
some 25 or 30 feet. When he got just
in front of the lumber yard office, be
pulled his revolver quick as flash and
with his left hand placed it to his
head just in front and above his left
ear and fired. He fell to the ground
unconscious and never revived, dying
Tuesday morning. There seems to be
no cause known for this rash act, unless
brooding over his troubles slightly un-
balanced his mind for the time being.
Deputy Sheriff Elliott informs us that
he searched him before starting for
Erie, and also at Erie before starting
back, and never suspected him. of
having a gun until he fired the fatal
shot.

WISDOM OF THE PRESIDENT.
A Chief Executive Upon whom the
People Rely.

A Chief Executive Upon whom the
People Rely.
It is said in Washington that Presi-
dent Mckinley is convinced that the
effort which is being made to embroil
this country with Spain has for its pur-
pose the elevation of the silver ques-
ton.
The prospect of war would unqueS-
tionably be followed by depletion OF
the gold reserve. The expenditures at
tendant on placing the country on a
war footing would soon take the cash
balance out of the treasury. Then, OF
course, an appeal would be made to
congress for emergency funds, and with
senate controlled by the silver ele-
ment it is not difficult to imagine what
would follow. The silverites would
command the situation, and, as they
place silver above everything else. the
white metal would come to the front
and have it's innings at last.
The silver crowd is composed of men
singularly fertile in expedient. They
have made many attempts to project
y
to their policy. Everything else fail
ing. they are not averse to plunging
the country into war. This seems to be
monstrous proposition. but as we
know they were not averse to inviting
universal bankruptcy in order to adj
vance silver. it is obvious that they
would not hesitate to bring on for
cign war II such proceeding would help
their cause.
Fortunately for the people they have
a president in the white house and a
speaker Of the house of representa-
tives sagacious enough to comprehend
the schemes of the desperate conspira-
tors who are bent on turning this coun-
try over on a silver basis. President
Mckinley and Speaker Reed sympa-
thize with the struggling Cubans, but
they cannot support any policy in be-
half of the Cubans which threatens the
financial integrity of our own land. To
do so would be rank treachery. But il
will not be done. The dispatches bring
the intelligence that the Morgan reso-
luton will not be taken up in the house
of representatives at present, nor are
they likely to be considered until the
president has read the special reports
from Cuba which he will cause to have
made.
The country will not act until the
president is ready to move, and he will
not move until every possible contin-
gency has been considered.
On many occasions Mr.. Mckinley has
exhibited great wisdom and discretion,
but on no other occasions have these
qualities been brought into view more
distinctly than they have in this in
stance. The country sees that the right
man is at the nations helm. and in con-
sequence the country is to be congrat-
ulated.-Albany Journal

two-story house built for two fami-
lies, and the reason l bought it was
that found n friend who was willing
to take the second floor. He paid me
s12 month rent, and paid out less
than $50 a month, and in six or seven
years had paid for the house in full.
Now I've got couple of other good
tenants. so I've bought another house

Easy way to get rich, that" sad
the employer.
YES" replied the mechanic, with
grin. but there is considerable risk
about it, too. The whole secret lies
in knowing how to get good tenants,
After you've bought the house and have
made sosne payments on ii you're liable
to get the cold shivers any time. SUP
pose your tenant should suddenly learn
as much as you know? Why, he'd 60
right off and buy II house of his own
and get somebody to help him pay for
his house, instead of continuing 10 help
you pay for yours. II you lose your
tenant, there's all that money extra for
you to pay. I've known more than one
POOR fellow who has lost every cent he's
saved just by going into a speculation
of this kind. That's why felt good
when l got my money. On the other
hand. there are lots of men like myself
who have accumulated quite a hand
some little property in this way. Some
of them are policemen, and they are IN
specially good position to do it, be-
cause they have steady employment
and good pay"
Houses of this character have beena
favorite venture of operators in low
priced real estate about New York IN
recent times. 1t is estimated that along
the lines of our street railway system
more than 1000 of such houses have
been built within the last two years,
and whole blocks have been erected
here and there in other sections. Some
solid blocks may be found now STAND
ing on ground where crops of potatoes
were dug couple of years ago. Inc
cheaper of these houses are OF frame
construction, but there are others u
a more elaborate construction, Win
fronts of brown stone and other decor~
tive effects. They are superior to na,s
or tenements, while not costing mucn
more. and each improvement in raP'u
