HIS COUNTRY SAVED nv COIN


since Dom Paul was elected President
III 1881 ne has been confronted with
some trying times. In 1883 his conntrv
was in bankrupt condition. There
was but one English shilling in the
treasury, and the salary Of all officers
from the President down, was one wear
IN arrears. At this time Kruger found
II extremely hard to get along. There
was no credit TO be had for the conn
Try, and Kruger did not know what to
do. 1t looked as if n famine was 90
ing to oVertake the land. but at the
most crucial period gold was found In
the Baroerton district. a messenger
from the new goldields took n sack of
EoId, containing twenty ounces, TO the
PRESIDENT, presenting it TO him as the
first yield of gold from the Transvaal.
Kruger was astounded when he saw the
gold. 1t is said by those present that
MS eyes doubled in size. He asked
where 1t came from, and was informed
that 1t was from the Barberton district
ls there any more left?" asked
Kruger.
He was told that the country was
rich in gold ore and that millions ~
pounds could be secured where that
came from.
Thank God! My country is saved"
was his reply.
That he was not able to receive an
early education. His only hook for
years was n Bible.
On the occasion of laying the last
bolt in the Pretoria Delagoa Bay Rail
road, November, 1894. the President
went out I'm his private car to perform
the act. AT Bronkher Spruit delega-
ton OF Roers met the Presidential
party. Kruger had to speak Out from
the railroad station, about n mile dis
tant. could be seen the three-grouped
graves of the rear guard OF British
regiment, which had been annihi-
lated by the Beers. The present trou-
BILE was beginning to make itself mani
fest; at least Kruger was far
sighted enough to realize that the
storm would hurst before very long.
Looking Significantly toward the
graves of the British soldiers, Kruger
said to the eco old Beers that he had
gathered around him:
This Is our country. Never give II
up. Remember that we fought for IL
and made 1t wha. 1t is. I will never!
Ncyer!! Never permit a foreign foe
to take the Transvaal from you so
long as I shall live.

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.
Ed CASTILLO and a Man Named Kelley
suspicioned of the Wyche
Robbery

When it was made known that
Fletcher Wycbe was held up and
robbed of his money night before
last, sheriff J.H Bic9ham started out
to arrest the guilty parties, if a
clew could be found.
He looked the ground over and
soon discovered where a buggy had
been left hitched, and from the
tracks he suspicioned that the men
who robbed Wyche, we're the ones
who had used the buggy, and were
also acquainted with Wyche and
had followed him out or rather
they got in front of him and waited
until he showed up for the purpose
of robbing him.
With this in mind, he returned to
the city, and learned from livery
stable that a couple of young men
had hired a buggy for short drive
and returned it about two hours al
ter they left the stable.
Further enquiry revealed the fact
that Fletcher Wyche and Ed Cas-
tello and Kelley were in saloon
playing pool together, and that
when it was over, Wyche had tc
pay for it, and in doing so, exhibited
his money (bills).
It is said that the two young mer
were known not to have money
but when they returned, spent the
balance of the night in drinking
aud playing pool.
On this evidence, Sheriff
Bickham asked the Texas officers
to arrest them which they did anC
they are now in Jail and will be Civ
en- a hearing as soon as the neces
sary red tape is used in transfer
ring them from Texas to this state
The evidence thus far is purely cir
cumstantial, and we hope they vii
not be judged guilty until the proof
is positive against them.
If they are not guilty, they car
certainly account for themselve:
during the night on which the rob
berry took place.
Since the above was in type, the
two men voluntarily came over the
line and will have an examination
as to their participationin the hold
up.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1899-08-25

It seems that ten strong railway
lines have decided to boycott the
Pee Gee, because it will not join in
a general traffic rate. The Mo. P.
R'y, it is stated, now holds three
cars of grain at Kansas City, re.
fusing to deliver unless the Pee Gee
will furnish it's own cars and pay for
the expense of transferring the
freight. Col. S. W. Fordyce knows
what he is doing, and we believe
will come off victorious in the end.
In discussing the situation, he says;
we can not give away our case be-
fore we are into court. Forewarned
is forearmed for the lines that are
fighting us. We did not go into
this fight hastily. We made sure
of our ground first. l can only say
that we will establish a principle
which will be satisfactory to Kansas
City.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1899-08-25

1t has been known for some time
that a Pinsch gas plant was being
talked of and the ground purchased
on the west side to erect the plant
and the new company was going tt
work to erect suitable buildings anC
machinery to make the gas. Yes
terday, Nr. J, O. Lord, of For
Worth, who is the president of tht
Ft Worth Light aud Power Co., came
here and proceeded to enjoin the
new company from proceeding
further, as he claims he holds a con
tract to furnish the railroad coach
es here with gas for a period o.
ten years We cannot see the out
come of the case.

The Terrible Example.

Mexico, our nearest neighbor, is
the victim Of what our financial ex-
perts call dishonest, anarchistlc
money standard. Let US look at
her and take warning. We learn
from Bradstreets that, notwith-
standing extraordinary expenses OF
over $500, 900 the department Of fl
nance reports cash surplus OF ST.
600, 900. Mexican securities are go
ing up in investment markets OF the
world, railroad builders and manu-
facturers are leaving gold standard
countries to develop the resources

gilt economists that a currency
based on anything else than gold is
a snare-dangerous, and certain tc
result in commercial disaster and
financial ruin. 1t is really strange
how completely facts upset theo.

ing from the general diffusion
among the people of silver money
