Man Becomes Insane and Shoots Nine OF
His Fellow Workmen.
Beaver Dam, Wis, Nov. adam
Hamer, employed in the machine shops
of the j. $. Rowell Manufacturing
Company, became insane yesterday and
shot nine men before he was safely be-
hind the bars. Hamer has long been
regarded as peculiar" and was the
butt of number of jokes by his fell
low workmen. Yesterday one of the
men placed tack in Hamer's chair,
and after sitting upon it, he went to
nearby gun store, rented shot gun,
aud, taking up his position south of
the main building of the plant kept
everyone at bay for an hour, and shot
nine of the employees through the
windows.
Finally Lieutenant Arthur T. A. Tib-
belts of company X, Second regiment,
who has a reputation for good marks

to shoot him in such manner as tc

Lieutenant Tibbetts shot Hamer in the

Devoted Wives VIII BE Disembarked by
Merriam's Order.


Merriams Order.
San Francisco, Nov. 2.-The mail
steamer Doric and the transport Ohio,
now on their way across the Pacific,
carry orders from General Merriam di-
recting that the troopship Indiana be
arrested at Honolulu and her com
mander, Colonel Funston, ordered to
land several stowaways, wives of yolun-
teer officers of the army. Two of these
are said to be mentioned specifically
in the order, and both are brides of
Kansas officers. They are Mrs j. G.
Schlieman, wife of the chaplain, and
Mrs f. T. Buehan, wife of Captain
Buchan, who sailed on the Senator, in
command of the Oregon recruits.
The Ohio is not expected to overtake
the Indiana, but the Doric may do so.
In such case the ladies may proceed on
that vessel to Hongkong, and from
there go to Manila to join their hus-
bands

UTES ON THE WARPATH,
Declare Their Intention to Hunt, and
Fight When Molested.

Ritie, Colo, Nov. 2.-Parties who
came in from Rangely report between
400 and 800 Indians camped on Doug.
las Spring, Sulphur and Cathedral
creeks, in the vicinity of Rangeley,
aud killing deer in great numbers.
The country where they are camped is
near the locality where the killing
occurred last yea.
Word has been received which indi-
Gates serious trouble ahead, if the stu
tion does not change in the next few
days. prominent cattleman and
rancher says the Indians are out in
force slaughtering deer by wholesale,
and that the game warden and COW.
boys are massing together and will
make descent on the reds kins in
force
According to this report the Indians
have lookouts posted on the hilltops,
and await the coming of the wardens
and their allies. and are prepared to
fight to the last ditch.
A friendly Indian has yolun teered
the information that the scheme Of the
Indians is to act friendly and entice
the wardens into their camp, and then
kill them. They declare the soldiers
are coming to assist them, and that
they win drive the wardens out, or kill
them, and then be free to hunt to their
hearts content The truth or falsity
of the above reports is not positively
known. but it is certain that the ranch
man above referred to will return inn
mediately to assist in protecting the
game interests of the state, as he has
declared his intention of doing SO at
once.
The agency officials and troops are
believed to be in sympathy with the
Indians, and are inclined to think that
the game rightfully belongs to them.
This fact, coupled with the attitude
maintained by the Indians themselves,
leads TO the conclusion that trouble is
almost inevitable, sooner or later.

BOLD ROBBERY AT SPOKANE.


Relieved OF 500.
Spokane, Wash, Nov. l-One of the
boldest and most successful robberies
in the history of this city occurred last
evening, when two masked men held
up the occupants of the Union Depot
company's freight office. The robbers
secured between $500 and 500 from the
safe, and the cashiers money drawer
and made good their escape. Four men
were in the freight Office working,
when two masked men entered by "a
rear door. They lined the four occu.
pants of the Office up in one corner,
with their hands in the air. While
one of the robbers covered the four
with his revolver, the other proceeded
to the money drawer which he had
already compelled Cashier H. NJ Reed
to open, and poured its contents into
his coat pocket. He made a similar
disposition of the money in the safe,
which had stood open when the rob.
bers entered. After securing the money
the two robbers backed to the door
and disappeared in the darkness.

Washington, Nov. l. - Word has
reached the interior department OF
trouble threatened by band of young
Sioux on the Pine Ridge agency, in
South Dakota, who are reported to
have started an organized movement
for the forcible removal of Indian
Agent Clapp from the reservation. See
retary Bliss, commenting on the mat.
ter, said that despite the claims of the
young braves, who threaten to take
steps themselves unless the secretary
orders the change, there was nothing
on file at the department that is ad-
verse to Agent Clapp; that the agent
is an army officer, who is executing
his duties satisfactorily, and that the
question of removal or transfer is not
to be entertained

stead OF putting 52 cents worth OF silver
into half dollars the government reduced
the half dollar from 20S to 194 grains to re-
move the temptation to melt the money
again into bullion and sell it by weight and
for fear the richer classes would attempt
to load down the poor with this kind of
money and their houses should burn down
and their silver be melted, the government
limited its legal tender quality TO S.. This
has been our policy ever since 1853 and /
expect it will continue to be our policy.
There has not been during the century
any considerable number OF silver dollars
coined on private account Thomas Jeffer-
son stopped the coinage OF silver dollars in
1905 and very few of them were coined in
the SOS. In coming silver all the govern
ment does is what the miller does with the
wheat that comes TO his elevator-frst tests
its quality and then determines its quantity
by weight. The silver miners found IT con-
venent to take their silver to the mints so
as to get the stamp Of the government on it.

With a properly organized currency system
a per cent commercial rate in the United

Is it possible for us to have such bank
system as to do away with bank failures?
Practically, yes. In Scotland only three
banks have failed in 200 years. In Canada
there have been only two bank failures
within the last ten years. Is il possible

strong that at time Of commercial crisis
no man in a solvent condition need fail
Most assuredly IL is. When the great
banking house OF Barring Brothers fell in
1890 the crash was felt ali over the world.
But though their affairs required a long
period for liquidation, not for single day
did any bank in England refuse its Gus

The closing argument for fiat money was

give to the American colonies their indie
pendence. Greenbacks carried on the civil
war without the help of the national banks.
Edward Atkinson he accused of having the
reputation for knowing more things that are
not so than any other man in the country.
His conclusion was that while the Supporters
OF bank issue denied the quantitative the
ory they had practically adhered to It be-
cause they could not get away from it.

ty daughter on little journey in Swift

in the Tyrol she met handsome young
Austrian artist, and it was most des-
perate case of mutual love at first sight
They met in the morning, were en-
gagged in the evening and would have
been married on the morrow, they said,
but for papa Papa was cruelty phleg

everything quite decorous and conven-

Now comes the serio comic side of
this young couples romance.
Young Haider was an artist Of "A fine

he had been globe trotter.
The Berlin authorities would not per
NIT him TO wed Fraulein Pruss unless
he could produce q certificate from the
mayor of each and every municipality
in which he had fingered affirming
that Haider had not been married in
their cities.
So the bride and her family and the
bridegroom and his attendants journeyed
to London town, and there they were
wed, after which they returned to Ber
lin and were married again, with no
opposition this time, in the Kaiser Will

Literary Notes.

In the Christmas number of the Ameri
can Monthly Review of Reviews some OF
the most noteworthy of the famous
paintings of the life of Christ by j
James Tissot are reproduced. Clifton
Hardy Levy writes on Tissot's life and
method in painting and Ernest Knaufft
contributes a criticism of the portraits
from an artists point of view. The col.
lection is now on exhibition in New
York and will be shown in several of the
leading American cities before Mr.. lis
sot returns to France. Il is beyond
question the most important series OF
representations of Christ made in mod.
ern times.
Capt. Sigsbee spols good story, but
replaces it with another equally good, in
denying, as he will in the Decem Der
Century, that his orderly entered the
cabin of the "Maine" immediately after
the explosion, made formal salute, and
reported the destruction of the ship. Had
he done so, he would not have been seen,
for the explosion exiting uished all lights,
and left the cabin as black as a pocket.
AS a matter of fact, the orderly ran into
his commanding officer in a dark passage
leading forward through the superstruc.
ture, and reported that the ship had
been blown up and was sinking. Capt.
Sigsbee's story of the destruction of the
ship will lose nothing, it is understood,
from the simplicity Of his style, the in
cidents being too terrible to need rein.

Women and the Boston Herald

1t is neither strange nor remsI kable
that women like The Boston Sunday
Herald. For years that paper has cater
ed to the tastes of the women of New
England in manner that has earned
their appreciation. Each succeeding
Sunday marks an advance in the guam
tity and quality of its features and a
woman who is not a reader of The Bos-
ton Sunday Herald can scarcely count
herself thoroughly posted in the news
and gossip of woman's world. The issue
Of Dec. will surpass all previous efforts
in this direction.

The spirit behind the Constitution OF
the United States Is probably one OF the
most vital and healthy things In the
world; and yet, under the Constitution
itself, there are already the most illogi.
cal results. says Benjamin Kidd In the
December Atlantic. One of the funda-
mental principles Of government In the
United States is the assumption Of the
right OF every citizen TO liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. The negro Is a
ctlz N of the United States, and yet in
some States In the Union he Is forbidden
to marry a citizen of different color
The Indian is a ward of the United
States, and not citizen; and the China
man is forbidden vote. A IL this Is lilo
gical. But 1t is not therefore wrong
and the fact remains that the spirit be.
hind the American Constitution is prob
ably one of the healthest forces 10 the
world. The intense feeling of the
Western man that there Is meaning and
a reason behind policy of expansion
which cannot be put into formulas

muas-has more In it than appears on
the surface; it may be nearer to the real
meaning of things than the most reason

more philosophical historian In England
than Professor Seeley, certainly none
who has understood better the meaning

sion Of the English-speaking races. 1t
was he who, writing about such princi.

saying that ''in truly living institution
the instinct of development is wiser
than the utterances of the wisest indi,

conclusion put into the philosophy OF
