During the past six years the ma
tional interest-bearing debt has in
creased from $5S5, 100000 to $1,026,000,
900. In other words, under the pro-
fligate rule of the party of trusts and
Doodle the national debt has been al
most doubled. And there is worse than
nothing to show for it. In the afore-
said six years national expenditures
have exceeded revenues by S25S, 0OO, 600,
and the government has failed to meet
legal sinking fund requirements by
$500, 900, making the total deficiency
for the six years $65S, 900! This de-
felt will be increased this year and
next, according to Secretary Gage
own figures, by $4,000, 900. Plainly
our deficiency is rapidly climbing to-
ward the billion mark. How is this
for a white mans burden?

The anti-Reed boom has died
a'bornin', as shrewd political observers
expected it would. Reed has not feared
to antagonize the administration on the
imperial and other issues, nor to draw
the lines sharp between his own and
the administration views on several of
the latters pet schemes, even going so
far as to openly ridicule the Presidents

or two dollars and half apiece for

castle comment. But Reed holds his
own in popularity against all the eff
forts of the administration to start a
sentiment antagonistic to him. The
Maine man is careless in the use of his
sharp tongue, and hence is not an easy
friendmaker, but the friends he has are
the kind that stick, for they believe in
him.

There is general regret over the death
under peculiar circumstances OF MT. r
C. Burdette, clerk of the court of Tay-
lor county. The evidence points to
suicide and many friends of the de-
ceased believe he was impelled to the
act through dependency caused by the
persistent but baseless charges of Re-
publican politicians connecting Mr..
Burdette. although himself a Republi-
can. with the alleged frauds in Taylor
at the recent election. Although these
charges were proven false the tongues
of the political henchmen continued to
wag at the expense of honest mems
regulations.

former silk bag attached to the end Of
rod.
This change may seem insignificant,
but it meant much to the church fl
nancially.
Whereas, formerly the fingers that
entered the mouth of the bag and in
perfect concealment dropped the con-
tribution into it's soundless depths
contained as rule, a penny, now the
same fingers drop upon the bright and
ringing surface of the open plate
nickel, a dime, or quarter.
For example, according to the fig
ures given by the Philadelphia Times
under the regime of the old silken bag
one OF the largest offerings on fes-
tival Sunday contained 727 pennies
422 nickels, 100 dimes, 80 quarters and
2 half dollars. Of a total of 1,2Sl
pieces more than one-half were pen
MES.
After prayerful consideration of the
situation the deacons put their heads
together and decided to substitute the
open silver plate for the bag, realizing
as our Philadelphia contemporary puts
it, that dropping a penny into the
concealing folds of bag is a very diff
ferent matter from placing it in cold
blooded frankness upon the shining
surface of silver plate"
Verify, this is a desirable innova-
ton calculated to create a higher
standard of christian benevolence and
to reform the ancient penny giving
habit, although the vulgar and profane
may call it a species of 'hold-up."

MURDERED AND BURNED.
Widow and Four Children Put Out OF
the Way-Stepson Arrested.

MAIDEN, Mo-, April 26.-Mrs Jane Tet-
taton, widow of Wash Tettaton, a prom
inent man Of this section. and her four chill
dren, were murdered last night. Their
bodies were partly incinerated in the ruins
of their home, which was set on fire by the
murderer. j. II. Tettaton, a son of Wash
Tettaton by his first wife, is under arrest
for the crime. AS administrator OF the
large estate OF his father, he had been at
law with Mrs. Tettaton frequently over
property disputes. Yesterday basis of
settlement had been reached. Tettaton
went 10 his stepmother's home last night to
adjust matters, and that was the last seen
of the widow and her children alive. About
o'clock neighbors saw the Tettaton home
on fire and discovered the bodies of the five
victims in the flames. The bodies were
found burned beyond recognition. One Of
the children had bullet hole in the head
and half the widows skull was gone.
]. w. Tettaton was found in the yard with
thirteen trifling knife wounds on the face
and head, apparently unconscious. He de-
clares the crime was committed by two un-
known men, who he says entered while he
was talking to his stepmother and demand
ed money. He refused to give it up and
the men opened fire. At the first fire, he
says, the widow fell, and as he ran into the
yard he was cut into insensibility. He
claims TO be entirely ignorant OF all that
followed. A knife and pistol identified as
belonging to Tettaton were found in the
ruins of the house. The sheriff has con-
cealed Tettaton, as there We're threats of
lynching. Tettaton is a member OF the
Board OF Town Trustees Of Bernie, eight
miles from Maiden.

Speech by COghlan TO Quakers.

WASHINGTON. April 26.-The case of
Captain Coghlan may be considered as final
ly closed. The German ambassador DR..
Won Holeben, called at the White House
this afternoon and had conference on the
subject with the President of such a salts
factory nature that the matter was re-
garded as settled. The President explained
the course the Navy Department had taken
in administering a reprimand TO Captain
Coghlan. 1t was also pointed out that the
officers explanation of the incident stated
that his utterances had been much exag-
gerated. On the part of the ambassador
there was every disposition to deal as light
ly with the matter as possible, and not TO
permit 1t to become a source of
friction. During the day the Navy
Department administered to Captain
Coghlan the reprimand which had
been determined on yesterday, as stated in
these dispatches. This was in the form Of
letter from Secretary Long to the officer.
1t is said at the department that the letter
will not be made public until the officer has
received 1t and probably not then. The de-
partment made public a brief statement of
the contents of Captain Coghlan's letter in
answer to Secretary Longs request for an
utterances ascribed to him, but the con-
tents were more fully stated in yesterdays
Associated Press dispatches. The statement
is as follows:
Captain Coghlan has replied to the de-
partment, stating that the newspapers have
not reported him with substantial accuracy:
also that he intended no disrespect or con-
tempt to the German flag, and is extremely
sorry that any such Interpretation was put
on his remarks. Proper reprimand will be
sent and such action taken in respect there
to as is proper
Captain Coghlan will be in command of
the Raleigh when President Mckinley pays
his visit of state to the cruiser at Phila-
delphia next Friday. 1t has been determined
that no change shall be made In the COM
mand as the result of the utterances OF
Captain Coghlan. The President takes the
ground that it would be an unllind and un-
warranted reflection on the officers and
crew Of the ship to abstain from paying the
visit which had been arranged for and oc.
cupies prominent place on the programme.
AS to the future course of the Navy De-

BERLIN April 26-With the view of recti-
fying the reports of the discord said to exist
between the three naval commanders at Sa-
moa, the Nord-Deutsche Zeitung publishes
extracts to-day from the reports of the COM
mander of the German war ship Fake up TO
March 23 in which Captain Schoenfelder
says:
THE widest rumors are current concern

crew of the Fake and the Americans and
English. The reports are due TO some of our
countrymen who do not tire OF creating Ill
feeling between the officers and men of the
three countries by promoting such rumors.
AS a matter OF fact, the relations between
the different commanders and officers are
thoroughly courteous and of an accommo-
dating character. In spite of the arduous
nature of his guard duty. Captain Stu dee

Senator Teller visited his ranch near
Boulder yesterday and did some physical
labor which he is not accustomed to. He
slept very poorly last night and ate a. very
light breakfast this morning. He then rode
TO Longmont and walked in the hot sun
and spoke at the funeral services without
his ordirary lunch. He has not been strong
