A THRILLING BURaLARYl

A burglar or a nightmare entered a GER
tain residence in this city Tuesday night.
One young lady declares that she was
wide awake, and that a bold, bad burglar
had gotten into the house. Another
young lady member OF the family thinks
1t was a bad case Of nightmare.
According to the first young lady's
story she was aroused from her peaceful
slumber at four O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing, by hearing a gentle noise In the ad-
joining room. She listened for six min
utes, to assure herself that 1t was not the
cat or any member OF the family. Then
iesping out of bed, and grasplng a pistol
In each hand, she exclaimed: "Here

The Boud Iniauity.

The lSTELLIGENCER has always
taken the ground that the bonds were
Intended for use Of National banks, aRd
calling the bonds a popular loan was
only throwing dust into the eyes Of the
people. The following from the
Louisville Dispatch is worthy of care
full reading:
New York is talking about a tight
money market owing to the congestion
Of cash in the treasury at Washington.
This is the result OF an unnecessary
bond issue in addition TO war taxes to
carry on a hundred days 3 The
people have been burdened with an
addional bonded debt Of SS00, 900, 0Oo
that will draw interest al 5 per cent
for ten years, adding to the cost Of the
war 600, OOO, 900, when treasury notes
could have been issued aud would have
saved the whole Of this SEQ, 000, 900
without the least embarrassment to the
government. The treasury notes
would have furnished additional cur
rency TO supply the extraordinary
demand fer money occasiOned by the
war, aud instead of creating s s.rln.
gency in the money market by locking
up the currency n the treasury we
would have had II in circulation to
stimulate business. The administra-
ton sought TO make the issue Of bonds
a popular measure by announcing that
bonds would be sold to the people in
small lots at par. They were so
advertised and a very few individuals
subscribed for bonds rs an investment,
while almost the entire loan was issued
to the banks, directly or indirectly.
1t was a scheme Of the national banks
with Gage on the inside to run this So
called popular loan in their interest.
The way they worked it shows how
easily the people of the United States
are deceived and humbugged with the
aid OF the newspaper press. Only 10
per cent Of the subscription was re-
quired TO be paid in advance. The
banks got their employees and ethers
who were dependent on them for
fayors to subscribe, the banks putting
up the 10 per cent, and then pretend
ing TO purchase the bonds Of their
dummy subscribers. BY this sort Of
legerdemain, practiced with immunity
a national bank could subscribe for
800, 600 in bonds, pay $4,000. and
then either sell out at a profit Of four
or five thousand dollars or take out
currency to the amount Of 2 $1,000,
and let the government hold the bonds.
In that way the banks could get $780,
600 in bonds for a $1,000 investment,
and on that investment it would draw
sS, 900 a year interest or $50, 900 before
the bonds fall due. When the bonds

AMAn DOG SCARE.


Lexington had q mad dog scare last
Monday Afternoon, and for a short time
there was more excitement on our streets
than there has been for many a day. The
dog that caused so much commotion was
a common, ordinary cur dog, belonging
to Ann Davis, a colored woman, on Ninth
street, near Ridgeway.
The dog, which had been acting
strangely, had been tied mp for several
days, but was released Monday afternoon,
and Immediately started for town, In
passing through an alley it bit Malinda
Jackson, a young colored woman, on the
hand, inficting only a slight scratch.
The next victim was Ella, the 5.year.old
daughter Of Mrs. Maggie Kaempf. The
little ons was playing on the pavement
in front OF the opera house block when
the dog anne along. 1t spraug upon the
child and bit her upon the right arm, and
was attempting to selze her by the throat,
when 1t was beaten of by Mayor Young
and Mr.. Clarence Summers, whose atten-
ton was attracted by the ohild's screams.
From here the dog ran east on Franklin
avenue to the Presbyterian church, and
then north TO Main street, where its
progress was checked by Officers Price
and Haberkorn, who knocked il down
aud beat 1t into iusensibility with clubs
and rocks.

There is q strong effort being madA
by republicans to prove that "eTpan-

They talk Of the Louisiana Purchase,

believes in expanding to meet the
