A PoPooRATIc exchange says wheat
and silver are again almost equal in
value. In New York, the day the eX-
change was dated the outside wheat
quotation was 50 cents, while Mexican
dollars were quoted no higher than 1923
cents. This is as near the truth as the
average free silver statistician dares to
come.

building to the ground he little dreamed
nor did his financial supporters that
little more than two years after the
great hostelrie was opened il would be
incontinently seized by Uncle Sam as

such is its fate. A Norfolk, Va, dis

has set them apart for military pur-
poses, both structures being on military
reservations. 1t is a startling and a
sad announcement, but wars rigors
must be met sternly in the face.

wEARIEs OF THE STAGE.
St Louis Girl Who Made Her Debut
Sunday Night.

Milwaukee, Oct. 12.-Miss Katherine
Edith Walsh, a handsome, bright and
vivacious society girl of st. Louis, whose
home is on Delmar avenue, is playing
a maid servant character in Men and
Women" at Dawson theater in this city,
having made her debut Sunday night.
When seen by a reporter the girl, who
at home has servants galore to do her
bidding, said:
"Oh, goodness, no; I do not expect to
follow the stage. You see, I find it is
not all such a bright, rosy dream as I
had imagined while sitting in handsome
boxes and richly upholstered seats in
the theater, and watching the players
on the stage moving about and getting
off bright, witty things.I thought it was
as pretty and bright as it seemed, but
my dreams have been rustlessly dis
PEELED already, and 1 think I will return
home after this week. 1 heard so much
about the big salaries and gay times
girls on the stage had, that it struck
me as being a life to be envied.
"Just think if got about $500 a week
for acting, what a perpetual picnic
could have shopping and all that sort
of thing with my own money, as some
actresses do. But I fear the stage is
not my place. although I was under the
impression that it was until l tried 1t.
No, I never took a part on any public
stage until here at this theater.
A school I appeared occasionally in lit
tie dialogues and the like. but this is
my first stage appearance.
"And then, I have such a little part!
Don't you know, If could only take
some prominent part and get big no
tees in the daily papers and be fat
tered by the public, what a dream it
would be- But I am beginning to think
that I am not fitted to play great parts,
and if I remain in the profession
would very likely find myself at the foot
of the ladder all the time. I don't have
enough to say as Lucy in Men and
Women" and, don't you know, think
it is harder to stand about on the stage
saying nothing than being up to ones
eyes in talk and acting. That is what
I should like-and then about $500
week for doing it.
yes; my parents are aware of my
appearance on the stage, but if 1 fail
and go home very few of my society
friends will know anything about 1t,
and my parents will be satisfied that I
tried and got all of the theatrical bust
ness wanted.
Yes, I have Milwaukee acquaint-
ances-Mrs. Gustav Pabst and several
others-but goodness,I don't want them
to come to the theater and recognize
me. I would not know what to do if
they did,

American Volunteers Captain Arrest
ed in Leavenworth.

Leavenworth. Oct. 12.-Captain Hen
derson of the Volunteer Salvation Army
is in trouble. He was arrested last
night on the charge of obstructing a
public thOrOughfare.
The Volunteers have for the past year
been holding their open air meetings
at the corner of Fifth and Delaware
streets and the crowds that cOngrega-
ted to hear them made it almost i'm
possible to pass that point. Complaints
were made to he police and he army
was notified to move away from the
corner.
Capt. Henderson complied with this
order on the night it was issued but
last night was back again at the same
old place. Pedestrians complained and
Capt. Henderson was placed under ar
rest When informed at the police sta
ton that he would be released if he
agreed to comply with the order issued
him, he replied that he would not do so
and was then locked up in the city jail.

Treatment of the Child.

Paola, Kan. Oct. 12-Frank Sher-
wood, the 9-year-old stepson of W. o.
Grafton, of Somerset, this county, died
under circumstances that aroused the
Indignation of the neighborhood. The
county attorney was notified, and in the
absence of Coroner Worthen, Justice L
L. Kent was called on and an inquest
was held yesterday.
1t was developed that the boy had
been very i'll for several weeks with
malaria, coupled with congestion of the
stomach; that no physician had been
called or medicines administered; that
the parents were Christian Scientists
and did not believe in medicine and per-
mitted the boy to die.
Grafton married the Sherwood woman
in Missouri last August, and when ask

he got the license, he replied: of the

if the couple were ever legally married

man stepped into another room and
came back with six hundred dollars
which he showed over to his grandson
and said:
There is the money you gave to your

every dollar you gave her over to me
and caused it to be loaned out for
you. You haven't had quite so many
good clothes as you might have had,
nor had such a sporty time with the
boys as you could have had with more

denied yourself these things for the

may be sure that we are all pleased

The St. Louis Dispatch taking
the recent sale of the Drummond To-

as a text discourses of trusts in general
as follows:
The terms Of the deal by which the
DrummOnd plant and good will were
sold to the tobacco trust illustrates the
possibilities of profit in such transac-
tons and the enormous power which
may he yielded for good or evil by the
managers Of mOnOpolies.
The plant. it seems, was rated at
100000, while the good will passed for

The price paid for the latter repre-
sents the trusts desire to shut off the
competition, which must have been
considerable to be rated so highly.
But if the good will in conditions Of
competition was worth So O0O. 600 what
will it be worth when competition gives
place to monopoly The only limit set
to its value is that fixed by the power
of the monopoly which cannot but grow
as the trust grows and extends it's IA

Some shrewd thinkers believe that the
trust is a natural growth and cannot be
destroyed. If this is true the people
will have to find a way to control it.

REPLEVINS HER DRESSES.
Chicago Catholic Girl In Trouble by
Marrying a Protestant

Chicago. Oct. IA replevin suit, be-
hind which lay an interesting love story
occupied the attention of Justice SABBATH
in his private court yesterday after
noon. A Catholic girl had married a
Protestant and her parents had dis
owned her.
The defendants to the suit were Mr..
and Mrs Frank PetroWski, residents of
the northwest side and owners of con-
sidera BILE property. The suit was brought
against them by their daughter Gussie,
now Mrs. Carlson. She testified that
her parents had refused to allow her to
remove her dresses and other wearing
apparel from the house because of her
marriage to a Protestant. Justice
SABBATH, after listening to the evidence,
rendered judgment in her favor.
The girl had kept up acquaintance
with Carlson, who is a barber, nearly
two years, much against the wishes of
her parents. Last August Carlson pro-
posed marriage and was accepted by
the girl who is 10 years old. The par
ents of the girl disapproved of the
match and would not consent to their
daughters marriage to Carlson because
of his religion. The girl, however, was
determined to we'd him and on Septem-
Der "a the ceremony was performed.
Then the young bride found the doors
of her home locked against her, and all
her efforts to enter and secure her be-
longings were without avail, and the re-
DleVin suit was the result.

This was the fourth death that has come

When death came the mother was rack

yet come to her eyes. The child died Sep

for an undertaken and had the child's
body embalmed. The remains were then

the child's body, in which it will be
placed later.
For four weeks the little ones corpse
has been in the parlor. Visitors to the
home are shown the body, but since a

visit to this city was for the purpose of
organizing a campaign against the trust.
He arrived on a noon train and was imme-

A conference of several hours followed,
the result of which could not be given
out.
sent the entire opposition to the Diamond
Match company, but that the business re-
suits so far obtained in that direction had
been very satisfactory. He is now en-
gagged in cementing the smaller factories
and interests, leaving little doubt that the
Continental Match company is to be made
the nucleus of the opposition. Mr. Gould
came to Rockford from St. Louis, where
he attended a meeting of the St. Louis
and Southwestern railway. Several other
