but not the latter. They will be in
terested in reading the following no
tice which has been sent out by the
associated press:
Notice of 10 per cent. reduction
was posted at the works of the Penn

feet March 1st. The reduction affects
about 5000 employees.
This is not what was promised, but
it come as nearly to fulfllment OF
anti-election promises as the Repub-

promises to get votes, and when the
votes are placed in the box and their
object is secured they have no scru-
pies about letting their promises re-

SEVERAL years ago Mr.. Mckinley
failed. His trust friends came to his
assistance and paid his debts because
he had been their friend, putting
thousandsof dollars into their pockets
by the enactment of the Mckinley
bill. When Mckinley retired from
the governorship of Ohio he, was sup
posed to bea poor man. He is not
reported to have heen engaged in any
business since that time, except lay
ing plans for the nomination and
election of president. The daily
papers report that he is spending
money like millionaire instead of a
poor man, as he is supposed to be.
His two carriage outfits are reported
to cost him $4,000, a cloak at $500,
are not such high prices for poor
man. The question arises where does
all this vast wealth come from? Can
it be that the trusts are still carrying
him? They certainly must be.-Co-

The NORTHWEST says, "Give the
people fifty dollars per capita and
then you will see business. y Suppose
the volume of money should be in
creased to that extent. which would
more than double the present per
capita, then how would the poor peo-
pie get any of it?-Si0Rdl
This same argument was used in
last falls campaign by the Signal,
but the people of Henry county re-
pudiated it by near two thousand
majority.
1t has been admitted by both Re-
publieans and Democrats that by
giving the people more money per
capita prices would advance, especi-
ally the price of farm products.
Low and falling prices are ruinous
to all business, stop the wheels of
progress, make money dear and al
low it to remain idle in money CEN
ters, which all must admit is the con-
dition of things today. This state of
affairs the Democrats contend is due
to the striking down of silver, which
takes from the people a large portion
of their circulating medium.
On the other hand, rising prices,
which the restoration of silver will
bring about, booms all business, re-
stores confidence and the spirit of
speculation and improvement, thus
furnishing more and dremunerative la
Dor to the poor people.
And that is the way the poor peo-
pie get their share of the increase in
the per capita circulation, which is
as plain as the nose upon a mans
face.

when he perfects his new discovery
the slightest arrangement OF the sys-

that q man with his eyes bandaged
may discern objects, which suggests
the possibility that to the eye blind

that Mr.. Edison may succeed In pre-

MURDERER RETURN
Ed TO BOWLING
GREEN.
HE Is MET BY AN ANGRY
CROWD.
WE'RE SOME CRIES OF
"ROPE" WHEN HE GOT
OFF THE TRAIN.
Talked But Little on the Journ-
au From, no.-o.
Talked But Little on the Journ-
ey From Denver.
Especial tothe Bee.l


BOWLING GREEN, Feb. 22.-Sunday
morning as the church folk were
quietly vending their way to divine
service an exciting scene was en-
acted at the Ohio Central Depot.
Nearly a Thousand people had as
sembled to witness the return of
Sheriff Biggs from Denver, Col,
with Frank Crawford. alias Harry
Davis, the escaped alleged murderer
of night watch Jesse Baker of North
Baltimore.
Fully a half hour before the train
arrived the crowd commenced to as
semble and the streets were fairly
lined with people. A report gained
circulation that there would be an
attempt made to lynch the prison
er, but this was only talked by few
restless fellows who had come in
from the oil field. A small rope was
displayed, but is was looked upon as
bluff.
SURPRISE FOR SHERIFF BIGGS.
When the train arrived the sheriff
stepped off the platform with his
pan and was considerably at loss
to know what to make of the crowd
and the demonstration. Crawford
was evidently badly scared and
clung to the officials for protection.
He said in pitiful tones TO the sheriff:
Did you telegraph ahead l was COM
ing?''
One stalwart oil we'll driIler cried
'rope!" and the prisoner became
pale as death, but soon gained his
composure when told by Sheriff
Biggs that he was perfectly safe.
The crowd surged to and fro and fell
over one another to get close. to the
prisoner. There were frequent cries
of rope" but no one cared to make
a break that certainly would have
proven fatal, for Sheriff Biggs was
prepared to shoot and would not
have hesitated.
Crawford felt more secure when he
was in Jail. The other prisoners,
however, were much alarmed and
enquired of the officers if they
thought there would be lynching.
They were assured the crowd was
orderly, although the Jail was pack ed
and there was some jeering.
DAVIS HAD LITTLE TO SAY.
Sheriff Biggs said he was not able
to get many pointers from the pris-
oner on the way home, although he
did talk a little of the escape and
dropped a remark that he supposed
Mutchler, the jail turnkey at Toledo
knew enough to keep his mouth
shut. Crawford says he is at loss
to know why his brother should be-
tray him. unless he was drunk when
he did it.
He laughs at the story told by
Jones and Curry about him doing
the shooting and says they had to
tell some story to save their necks
and, of course, as he was absent, that
one was the most logical.
The prisoner has changed much
since he was gone, having shaved off
his mustache and is tanned consid-
erably.
