RETURN OF PROSPERITY.

where's your prosperity" shrieks
the silverite-"where's your restored
confidence and abundant money!" he
demands to know. Neither of the
three questions is hard to answer. At
the moment the promised prosperity
is cavorting all over the great state of
Texas. There the farmers are offer
ing high wages to harvest hands.
Thousands of men are needed to reap
the bountiful crops of grain which
have rewarded the industry of the farm
ers. 1t is estimated that the crop of
wheat will aggregate 25,ooo,Ooo bushels,
which at GO cents per bushel will yield
about s15,00O,000 in money. There will
be harvested 100000 bushels Of oats,
worth Ss,OO0,000. II the grain crop is
successfully harvested within the next
two weeks something like S30,000,000 in
money will GO into Texas. That's
pretty fair article of prosperity. After
the Texas crops are harvested pros
perity will swing around northward
and westward and in due time the
whole country will experience the re-
lief so much desired. Then, too, the
tariff bill will soon become n law and
the mills will all he started. The res
toration Of confidence in the credit of
the government is too complete to be
questioned. The fact that the gold
reserve remains almost intact, not
withstanding large and repeated ex-
portations OF gold is sufficient proof
that confidence Is with us to remain.
AS to an abundance of money, none
but the misanthropic caviller will VEN
ture to complain. The banks are over
flowing with money. They have so
much that the handling of it has be-
come a burden They are eager to loan
it out at low rates of interest, but there
is light demand for it. That demand
will continue to be light until congress
tells manufacturers what the tariff
bill is to be. After the tariff bill is dis
posed of the abundant supply of money
will be quickly absorbed into manu-
factares and industry will revive with
vigorous dispatch. The silverites are
unreasonable in demanding u bill of
particulars in the face of obvious facts.
Prosperity and thrift will be or hand
and not behind schedule time. OF
course, prosperity will be little Shy

spend their time reading Bryan
speeches and talking over ratios when
they ought to be planting corn or look

OJoan p. Altgeld was the chief
apostle OF the free silver hosts in the
Chicago convention. and it was mainly
through his efforts that Bryan was
nominated. All truthful reports admit
these facts, and the prevailing investi-
cations of the Illinois legislature prove
that Altgcld is still the typical free sill
verite and free borrower at banks hav-
Ing state deposits. Both Altgeld and
Bryan must be brought into the Iowa
campaign this year, for the silver green
fusionists of Iowa are entitled to the
best when they are willing and anxious
to pay for it.-Iowa State Register.

W eiler in the chair Immediately after
the grand lodge was called to order the
report of the grand exalted ruler was
read, which occupied over an hour and
a half. George A. Reynolds, the grand
secretary, then read his report Grand
Treasurer e. S. Orris Of Meadville, Pa,
made q short verbal report, in which
he said the funds Of the grand lodge

reports and instantly flood of reso-
lutions and petitions, some from the
several lodges and many of them look
ing toward a change in the constitution
were sent to the chair. These We're,
most of them, referred to the appro
pirate committees without reading.
The selection of the meeting place for
the grand lodge for next year has
been made the first on the order of
business at the session this afternoon.
The fight has lost nothing in interest
through the developments of yesterday.
In fact the uncertainty of the place
which will probably be selected grows
apace All representatives of the diff
ferent lodges out for the next reunion
lost no time during the day. They
hustled induStriouSly, and each tried
to offset the advances made by COM
petitOr. The contest is a friendly one,
and whichever lodge carries away the
honor will take with it the good wishes
of the defeated. AS far as noise went
yesterday. New Orleans carried Oft
the palm.
Minnesota headquarters is not as
yet very busy place. The room is on
the second floor of the Nicollet house,
and is the home chosen for Duluth
lodge, No 1877; Saltwater lodge, No.

lodge, No 327, and CrookstOn lodge,
No. 342. AS yet there are but members
OF the Mankato, Winona and Crooks
ton lodges in attendance. The Duluth
and Saltwater lodges will arrive this
afternoon. while the others will be
considerably augmented during the day.
The Sioux City and Sioux Fall lodges
joined forces for the present session,
and came up $50 strong, accompanied
by the Fourth regiment band of Sioux
City, and which is under the direction
OF M. E. Reed. This delegation is the
only one that has real live Elks with
it. These will be seen in the parade
tomorrow. Chariots will be secured
If possible. and Exalted Ruler w. H.

honor of the Maid of Orleans which he set to
music and published under the name OF
Diana Vaughan. This hymn was sung at
patriotic gatherings in French churches and
no one noticed that the melody was that Of
an old popular song.
Again bitter cries assailed the speaker, and
1t looked for moment as though a rush
would be made to the platform. But Taxi

them any longer Cynically he explained why
he made this brutal confession.
To be brief, he knew that, If he did not
confess, some one would expose him. To use
a slang phrase, he saw that tthe game
was up" In conclusion he said that having
worked the ecclesiastical field for all it was
worth, he would now look for 3'fresh fields
and pastures new" in France, England and
America >,
1t is certain that he could not have kept
up the deception much longer. At the anti
Masonic congress, which was held in Trent
in September, 1896, and over which Prince
4owensteln presided, heated discussion arose
in regard to Diana Vaughan's identity. and
the archbishop of Cologne did not hesitate
to express his opinion that she was an i'm
poster. He admitted that many letters could
be produced in her handwriting, but he said
that no one could be found who had actually
seen her or who could prove that she had
really been baptized and converted to the
Catholic church.
Now the archbishop represented the potent
Cardinal Krementz. and his severe attack
must have convinced Leo Taxi that he could
no longer hope to make capital out Of Diana
Vaughan. That she has proved a regular
| gold mine to him for the past few years is
generally believed. The end however. being
sensational finale, and how it succeeded is
here told.

Diana Is
q MYTH.

A colossal fraud has just been expos

surance the inventor of this gigantic
swindle, this amazing hocus-pocus, has
come forward and told a wondering
world how for years he has been dup
ing credulous souls, and dipping them
so effectively as to win praise and
blessings from some of the most potent
persons living. Great in his day was
Cagliostro, prince Of mountebanks and
quacks, but equally great as a mysti-
fer is this nineteenth century trickster.

Journals throughout the world have
told the extraordinary story of Diana's
initiation into a diabolical society and
of her subsequent conversion to the
Roman Catholic church. Many sensi-
3 tive souls shuddered as they read her
horrible tale, and general wonder was
expressed that in these enlightened
days any persons could be found will
ing to join such a monstrous and sacri-
legiOuS organization as she described.
So the weird tales of devil worship
and of uncanny nocturnal ceremonies
went the round of the press, and the
excitement gradually increased until
a few days ago, when it was buzZed

my secretary, under the assumed
name of Diana Vaughan. entered into
direct correspondence with the digni-
taries of the Catholic church, especial
ly with the private secretary Of the
pope, and he sent her with each letter
the especial blessing OF the holy
father"
Renewed excitement among the
audience, but the arch mystifier went
on calmly:
'If the clergy were tricked they may
blame themselves. We had told them
that the head center Of Palladismus
was in the Masonic lodge at Charles
ton, in America. Moreover. IN my
book on the devil published a GROUND
plan Of Satan's chapel, which, SAID,
formed part of the lodge in Charles
ton. When the Bishop of Charleston
heard Of this he journeyed to Rome ana
told the pope that the whole story
was a pack Of lies. He assured the
pope that he had searched carefully,
but could not find Satan's chapel
anywhere, and he maintained that the
Free Masons Of Charleston were hon
orable citizens, who would certainly
not take part In any devil worship.
The pope ordered the bishop to keep
silent on the subject, and when Diana
Vaughan Informed him a few days
later that the bishop was himself a
Free Mason, the pope sent her his
blessing.
''There is another example. showing how
easy it Is to trick the clergy. Diana Vaughan
said that under the rock of Gibraltar there
was shop or smithy, in which all the uten-
sils necessary for devil worship were fash
toned. When he heard this story thesrapos-
tolic vicar Of Gibraltar sent protest to the
pope, but the protest was pigeon-holed, and
Diana Vaughan received another penal bene-
diction, the special reason being that Diana
gave the popes representative most interest
ing details about the smithy beneath the
rock Of Gibraltar, and even assured him that
all the work there was done by means of hell
fire."
WHAT WILL HE DO NEXT?
Taxil next tried to show that the vatican
wanted to use Diana Vaughan for the pur-
pose of perfecting a monstrous swfndle.
According to him. the world was to be
made to believe that the heart of Joan of Arc
had been discovered in an Italian nunnery.
Taxil took the hint, and wrote hymn In
