MRS. NISSAN
Found Drowned In Eighteen Inches of
Water Near Sistersyille

Found Drowned In Eighteen Inches of
Water Near Sistersville.
Sistersville, w. Va, July 6.-This
evening about $50 Mrs. Ella Nissan,
a woman who has been living on a
boat at Coney Island, famous resort
below the city, was found drowned.
The persons who had been staying on
the boat with her had gone away for
short time and on their return found
her lying in about eighteen inches Of
water dead without stitch of clothes
except stockings. The woman was
twenty years Of age and very pretty.
There is belief that foul play was the
cause of her death, though not much
credence is given the theory. The
woman had been i'll for some time and
the general opinion is that in a fit of
temporary insanity she threw herself
into the river.-Wbeeling Register.

WASHINGTON, July z-The president
made it known to senators and repre-.
sentatives who called upon him Thurs
day that he considered it unwise for
congress to adjourn before the bill to
raise $4,000 colored troops was passed.
He considered it absolutely indispensa.
BILE that this bill should be enacted
into law Immediately. Chairman
Hull, OF the military affairs committee,
was in conference with him Thursday
over that legislation, and stated af-
terward that he believed the bill would
be passed 1t was recently recon-
mended by the secretary Of war, who
stated that these troops were specially
adapted to the Caban climate and nee.
essary TO the success of the war.

statement may prove true. The pop
ulace are too poor. There are four
millions idle and thousands live COM
fortress.
According to our last census report
SO per cent of our population are born
in poverty and consigned to life of
servitude as hewers of wood and
drawers of water. Here are more than
half of our 75,0O0,OOO of people, yet
they own but three per cent of the ma
tional wealth, practically all Of which
the labor of their class has created.
Some 10000 families own more than
half the aggregate wealth, while pal
try one-seventieth part of the popula-
ton has secured two-thirds of it,
Twenty-dollar bond holders will be
few. The bankers, as formerly, will
hold the new bonds.
Lincoln and Chase were statesmen.
Suppose they werein power and had
isued S200,000,000 in greenbacks of
small denominations. That much
more money would have gone into
circulation instead of being drawn out
Of circulation. And s6,000,000 annual
ly of interest would have been saved
to the country instead of being paid
into the Golfers of the bondholders.
Which is the better plan, Lincoln S
or McKinley's? The bankers answer
McKinley's. The people answer Lin
coins.
AS a matter of information it is sug-
gested that the Leader ask the work
ers in any of our local factories to re-
port as many of their number as will
accept bonds and can probably carry
them until redeemed This would be
but straw in the wind, yet it would
indicate in a small way if Secretary
Lage was right or not in his opinion.

THE PROPOSED BONDS.

1t is generally accepted fact that
our currency is quite too limited for
the business Of the country. On this
presumption it is well to consider the
new issue of $4,000, 100000 in bonds.
The bonds being issued in small de-
nominations, it is expected that per-
sons Of small means will be the pur-
chasers. This being true there are
several objections to be considered:
1st. That our circulating medium
will be reduced that much, when bus
iness requires still more.
I'd. There will be 100000 more of
interest added annually to our enor-
nous burdens.
Sd. There will be 5000, 900, 900 TAX
en- from our tax duplicate, which must
be increaed by higher taxation to the
amount of one and half or two mil
lion dollars.
If we bad the prosperity of 1866 or
'67 when the mechanic and laborer
and small dealer had homes and spare
likely be taken by the well-to-do mid
die classes of citizens. But Secretary
Gage has said in advance that a popu-
lar loan would be a failure. This

A CONVICT.
Ellen Vincent Wright Proves to be an
Ex-Convict of the Moudsville Pen.

Ellen Vincent Wright Proves to be an
Ex-Convict of the Moudsville Pen.
Ellen Vincent Wright, alias Vint
Schrader, who was bound over to the
grand jury by Mayor Richardson,
charged with shooting with intent to
kill VIM. Durham, of the West Side,
proves to be q man who has served
time in the Moundsville penitentiary
on like charge, and it may prove to
be valuable arrest. Mayor Richard
son, suspecting at the time OF the trial
that he was more than he said he was,
made inquiries of the different towns
about here with the result that he re-
ceived the following description of a
man that had served time in the
Moudsville prison:
Virt Weight, sentenced April 10,
1895, from Mercer county, W. Va, for
three years for unlawfully and malic-
ious shooting. Received at Mounds
vile prison April "a, 1895. Born in
Virginia. Age 35, height feet 4s4 in
ches, complexion light, hair sandy,
eyes brown, scars below right elbow
and on left ankle; married; farmer by
occupation; discharged Jan. Is, 1898.
The description was given Sheriff
McCallister, who made search for the
scss. The description tailed exactly.
After some talk with he prisoner he
confessed and said the reason he had
no told of his previous Imprisonment
was that he, did not want his folks to
know it. He said he came to Ohio to
buy farm.
The authorities think now that the
horse and buggy which he brought
with him when he came was stolen
property. He claimed at the time of
his arrest that he was from the West.

WALTER &. SHORT
Injured at Santiago Well Spoken of
by Eastern Papers.

Washington, July 4.-Lieut. Walter
c. Short, of the Sixth Cavalry, who is
among the wounded at Santiago, has
a record for being the most expert
swordsman, both on horseback and on
fot, in the whole army He has crossed
swords with many of the most expert
fencers in public exhibitions, and as a
fancy rider and instructor in gymnas-
tics he is unequalled in the service.
Lieut.. Short was appointed to the
army from civil life not many years
ago,and soon after assignedto the Sixth
Cavalry, with which he saw service
in the West before his troop was or
dered to Fort Myer, Va. His selection
for a commission was made on the
representation of friends that he
knew more about handling horses and
acrobatic performances on horseback,
similar to those of the famous riders
of the Russian cavalry, than any man
in the country, and Immediately on
joining his troop he went to the front
rank of army riders. The Sixth Cav
airy has been famous in Washington
for its exhibitions of hurdle riding,
daring feats by the cavalrymen while
the horses were in full swing, and acts
of horsemanship which are seldom
equalled in first-class circuses. Under
Lieut. Shorts instructions the four
troops were soon so efficient that
when performances were given in the
riding hall at Fort Myers it was al
ways crowded with people. These ex-
hibitions were given all last winter
every Friday afternoon, and were at
tended often by the President, the
Secretary of War, and the highest Of
ficials of the Government. Besides
being an all-round horseman, Lieut.
Short was one of the crack polo play
ers of the District, and with his team,
composed of enlisted men, won with
ease all the matches contested atFort
Myer and the Chevy Chase Hunt Club.

The war with Spain, whatever the
outcome may be, has centered public
interest upon the United States navy,
and has demonstrated the efficiency of
American seamanship. 1t has also
been chiefly important as affording
the first real test of the fighting quail
tiles of modern war ships, equipped
with high power gucs.
Undoubtedly one of the results of
our war with Spain will be the COM
pletion Of a navy that will command
the admiration of the world.
While our national policy has al
ways been peaceful one, the govern
ment now recognizes the necessity of
being always prepared for any ex-
igency that may arise, while our for
eign interest demand that European
nations respect and recognize us as
power able to uphold its rights.
The appropriation of millions for
defense" will be followed by construc-
tion of other vessels, equipped with
the deadliest and most effective en-
gines of destruction.
1t has been said that the Krupp gun
is the forerunner of the EZRA of good
will" A powerful defensive force
means mot the big wars that make
smbition virtue" but peace.
War, even when looked upon with
a patriotic eye, is deplorable to con-
template, yet despite the wholly COM
mendable efforts of the nations of
Christendom in the direction of uni
versaI peace, the universal struggle
still goes on,

Nearly 6oo,o

Such was the Enormous Output of the
New Ulm Mills in 1897. =
Almost 100000 Bushels Of Wheat
r. "a Bought and Ground.
At Average Price That Alone Amounts
g.. = to $2,23O,OOO. ..

New Ulm's industries loomed up as
we'll last year as ever.
The big mills have record to be
proud Of.
The rebuilding of the Empire mill
naturally cuts down the output to some
extent, but, even as it is, it is something
enormous. From figures obtained from
the three mills, the Eagle, New Ulm
Roller and Empire, and the Cottonwood
1.-THE total number If bushels of wheat
gnnd into -four. during the year was
E2,SS5, ,4s3. OF this the Eagle used
1885, ,4s3, the Empire and. Roller $780,
900 and the Cottonwood $4,000. AT
an average price per bushel this would
mean an outlay for wheat alone Of about
$s,23O,e0o.
Think of it, in town like New Ulm
The total number of barrels /of flour
| made was 596,975 or, over half mil.
lion. The Eagle turned out 427,475
| the Empire and Roller 100000 and the
Cottonwood $500.
To do this, employment was given to
154 men, apportioned as follows: Eagle,
102; New Ulm Roller, 40; Cottonwood
g.
The Eagle in its shipments covers all
of the Northern, Eastern, Southern and
Middle States and the United Kingdom
and Holland. They have several travel
ing men representing them in all parts
of America.
The product of the Empire and Rol-
ler Mills goes chiefly to Iowa, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
New York, Massachusetts,, Maryland,
West Virginia, several southern states,
all the New England States, England,
Scotland, Germany and Holland.
To give one an idea of what it costs
to run institutions of this kind, the fol-
lowing figures, kindly furnished by the
Eagle Mill Co., will suffice. This COM
pany pays out annually for fuel, wages
and other Incidental expenses the dig
sum of $12S,942.50. The mill uses 1O,-
259 tons of coal annually and it's freight
bill, if announced, would he astonishing.
The three big mills combined undoubt-
edly pay in the neighborhood of $780,
900 to the railroad companies every
year.
The number of cars of flour and feed
shipped by the Eagle Mill alone was
1880.
Such is the record of New Ulm's prin-
cipal industry for twelve months past,
and it is a record that can he equalled
by but two milling towns in the state.

AN ADDRESS BY SCHERER
He Talks to the State Teachers on Thing!
That Are and Things That
Ought to Be.

Among the first addresses delivered
before the state educational association
in St. Paul last week was one by Supt.
Geo. Scherer. His topic was ''Some
Things that Are, and Some Things that
Ought to Be-" .- a.~s lss%
Mr.. Scherer held that the grammar
schools of Minnesota were the superior
of any in this country, or any European
country. He had travelled all through
Germany, and while the colleges Of that
country excelled those of this, American
grammar schools we're much in advance
of the German schools, where the teach
ers did more whipping than teaching.
The sanitary conditions of our schools
were away ahead of those in Germany
He strongly advocated the summer
schools, and hoped IN the future more
emphasis would be put on that depart
ment of the states work, Last summer
the school in Blue Earth county had an
attendance of 10Y, and many another
county could make just as good show
ing.
He arralgned university graduates
who are not required to pass teachers
who are independent of the
the county superintendent, who do not
attend teachers meetings or summer
schools, and who know nothing of the
work of the county and feel no sympa-
thy with the movements for the better
ment of the schools. He found fault
with the questions prepared for teach
els examinations, saying that they were
too easy, and criticising severely the
privilege offered applicants Of answering
ten out of every fifteen questions, saying
that where formerly seventy out Of ey-|
cry hundred applicants had failed, last
fall leighty out Of every hundred passed.
This he said, was lowering, instead Of
raising, the standard Of scholarship.
Another condition which ought to be.
as soon as possible, Mr.. scher-I
er said, was that under which people
can teach without certificates. In clos.
ing he referred to the need Of an open
market for books, SO that the districts
could buy where they pleased.
