A PECULIAR CASE.
Physicians In Webster City Puzsled
Over the Result of Burn from
n Firecrncker.

One of the most peculiar cases which
ever puzzled the physicians OF Webster
City was the result of q slight burn on
the thumb of the right hand of Mr.. w.
j. Biernatzki, which happened the
Fourth of July. He has since suffered,
and although the burn was only a
slight one and healed very rapidly
there was more 10 follow. He was
operating a small Chinese wheel when
the sparks struck his thumb. They
were brushed off and very little was
thought of the matter until his arm
began 10 pain him. Rolling up his
sleeve he looked at the arm and made
the discovery that a serious case of
blood poisoning was upon him. A
straight line reaching from where the
burn had rested on the thumb to his
shoulder, from a half to three-quar-
tiers of an inch wide and of a blood red,
had formed. Physicians have now sue
ceeded in killing the poison and Mr..
BiernatZki is recovering.

Money to Burn.

a local publication reproduces in.
terviews with number of bankers,
In which they state that there is
plenty of money in Omaha, while
other bankers content themselves
with the statement that the bank
vaults are filed with the coin of the
realm and leave the impression that
their condition is due to a glorious
form of prosperity that is now upon
US. MIR. Henry w. Yates, however,
throws light on the situation when
he attributes this oversupply of
money to lack of demand" On
this point Mr.. Yates says:
The lack in the demand is due more
to cautiousness of our business men
than to the possession by them of
sufficient money for their wants. The
experiences of the last few wears
have been dearly bought lesson to
nearly all the people, and they are
not veuturing into anything which
does not promise sure return on
their money. They have also learned
that the best laid plans of business
men and others are often DESTROYED
through unwise political agitation.
This makes them hesitate until such
time as they feel assured that this
agitation has passed the stage where
1t can be much Of factor. Condi-
lions should not be thus. Capital
should ever be willing to be risked on
Investment. That is what it is for.

duli: The recent heavy subscriptions

were not SO much an evidence of
abundance of money in the country
as 1t was positive testimony that

owner no return.
Mr.. Yates states the case well with
the exception that he attributes too
much to political agitation. If the fail
ure to invest in business enterprises
is due to fear of the effects of politi.
cal agitation upon those enterprises.
why is not money invested in real

Something like complete reports
have been received from the cloud
burst in Page county. 1t is found that
OF Shambaugh ten inches of water fell
in about an hour. The electrical dis
play was terrific. On hillside fields
corn two and three feet high was
washed out completely; whole fields
of it were torn away and washed into
the gullies at the bottom. Small trees
in good many places We're taken out,
and along the Nodaway valley there
is hardly road grade or a culvert left.
The county will lose many thousands
OF dollars. During the great rainfall
there was terrific electrical display.
The big barn On Emanuel Tuddle's
place was struck by lightning and de-
stroyed. Mr.. Huddle's son and hired
man were sleeping in it and barely es-
capped alive. Grain in the fields was
fearfnlly damaged, and many farmers
are losers of practically their entire
crop.

IOWA ROUGH RIDERS.
One of Rooseveles Men Describes q
Hot Battle on the Island

J. F. Page, one of the Roosevelt rough
riders, is from Ringgold county. He is
a son of Edwin G. Page, who served
in company G, Fourth Iowa, in the late
war, and is 81 years old. He was for
years deputy sheriff in Deadwood,
$. D., but more recently has farmed
at Mt. Ayr, enlisting when the war
broke ont. He writes letter home
describing the battle of La Quasina.
he says veterans of the entire civil war
declared it was the hottest fight thew
ever saw. There were 5000 Spanish
in entertainments against the 600 rough
riders, but they carried the field, and
Spanish officer who was captured de-
clared it was contrary to the rules of
war for the Americans to advance in
the face of the Spanish fire from en-
trenchments.
Roy Tomlinson, of Seymour, aged %,
was also a member of the Roosevelt
rough riders, and was among the first
to lose his life in Cuba. He died of
typhoid fever.

Greenbacks Again.

Strange how some men hate the
greenbacks and love the bond. We
have failed to note single instance
when an opponent of the greenbacb
has objected to an issue of govern.
ment bonds. And yet both are alike
government obligation for the pa,.
ment of money. The greenback draws
no interest and circulates as money.
The bond ultimately reposes in the
vault of the banker, and the interest
coupons draw regularly upon the
public revenue. The greenback is an
instrument of trade in the hands of
the people, the bonds an instruments
OF profit in the hands OF the money
lender. The issue and circulation of
greenbacks, their enemies tell us, is
reputation, initiation and financial
madness, but the issue of bonds bear
ing interest is part of sound and
stable financial system. Strange.
strange, indeed. conservative.
They hated the greenback and
fought it at every turn in its incep-
ton. These same democrats of which

and they do not now, only that they
are standing menace to the finances

for we had not. the gold with which
to keep them at par, and gold went
to $a.s5. 1t is only by keeping $780,
OOO,0OO in gold in the treasury that
they are at par now. No man sup
poses that they could be kept at par
with an additional issue of two or
Tour hundred millions more. And
then 1t is not honest for the people to
carry the debt of the nation without
interest 1t is not a business wav of
doing business. A greenback is a
forced loan without interest, and it is
only good for its face when there is
gold to redeem it. 1t would be far
better to dispose of the .sendless
chain" that we have as soon as DOS
slble, but no emergency should cause
us to add link to 1t. We are work
ing towards still sounder currency
but we shall not reach the pinnacle
till we dispense with greenbacks and
90 cent silver dollars, except as sub
