Coins and bank notes of all nations float

two for one American; now, however,
for an American flye-doilar gold piece
he gets twelve, while on the other hand
for an English sovereign which aot
worth as much as f1ye-doliar gold piece
you get fourteen. The reason of this is
that the sovereign is the best liked ee',n

The unexampled conduct of the Aneri-

at the meetings of generals which are
held every other day ahead of that OF
any other general. 1t is not disparaging
either Gen. Chaffee's hard common sense

helped them solve many Il knotty

United States Marshhl Barnes Occu-

NEW YORK. Oct 16--John M. Barnes,
United States marshal for the eastern
division of the Souther1 division of Geor-

drawing Of the grand Jury that indicted
the Gaynor brothers and Capt. Benjamin

Attorney Rose, who conducted the ex-
animation, attempted to find out why the
counties OF Chatham and Gls mn were ex-
empted when the grand jury was drawn.
An order issued by Judge Speer, of the
United States court, before the jury was

FOURTEEN STOPS
SEES NOTHING BUT MKINLEY
Expresses Himself as Confident of
Republican Victory In This
state-PrincipaI Speech
Was at MankatO.

WATERTOWN, 8. D., Oct 16-With an
original programme Of five stops in to-
day S intinerary Senator Hanna's special
train stopped at fourteen towns in Min
nesota and South Dakota during the day.
SO much pressure was brought to bear by
committees from various points along the
line not Included in the itinerary and by
Minnesota and South Dakota congress-
men, through whose districts the train
ran, that Senator. Hanna consented to
| make brief talks at as many stations
as he was possible to include in the days
travel, and at nearly every town of any
Importance through the valley of the
Minnesota river, and across the prairies
of Western Minnesota and Eastern
South D:ske9a Z Senators Hanna and Frye:
and Victor Dolliver made speeches, vary
ing IN length from two TO twenty min.
G}es. In Ole or. two instances in Minne-
sofa, through that part of the state
noted for its dairy industries and stock
raising the speakers paid some attention
to the tariff question, but the speaking
was mainly on trusts and prosperity
That's all the people seem to care
about, " said Senator Hanna tonight "An
they want, apparently, Is to be assured
OF the continuance Of the present condi-
tons. The sentiment seems to be all one
way, too. can see nothing but an over
ton Of the country"
A stop of forty-five minutes was made
at Mankato, where the largest crowd
of the day had gathered in the pubic
square. Senator Hanna said in part:
|; HANNA's ADDRESS.
After a business experience of forty
years, L want to say that just as sure
as the sun rises in the east, if a change
from the present policy and the present
administration is made and MI Bryan
is put at the head of the government of
the United States, not only a financial
panic will follow Immediately, but our
industries will be prostrated, and will not
recover in ten years. How ridiculous it
Is to tell about yielding to the ambitions
of any man simply because he has an
insane desire to be president, to talk of
tearing down all that we nave built up
IN these forty years; to talk of withdraw
ing the United States from the place
where Mr. Mckinley has put 1t, in the
very firing line of nations. Why, if no
other interest would impel us, our patriot
ism would say, God forbid Our pride
But there is something that comes closer
home than all that. 1t is the welfare and
comfort Of our wives and children. That
has the first call that should influence
the head of every house. In 1886 there
were some people in this country who
believed Mr.. Bryan was at least honest
In his opinions. Every day adds to the
1896 and who say they do not believe he
was ever honest in his Intentions; that
he has been playing the part Of hypo-
crite, and that for this same insane de-
sire for office he will sacrifice even his
own self-respect."

VANCOUVER, B. c.. Oct. 16-The
ssurvey of the disputed boundary line at
Mount Baker has been completed by the
provincial surveyor, Deane. The line
places all the mines of Importance in tie
district on the American side. although
a mile of extra territory has been given
British Columbia. The chief Importance
of the survey Is that a Canedian govern
boundary line north OF the mining camps
compels all Canadians sending in sup
plies to the camps to pay duties, and
this practically diverts the large trade
to mines from Chilliwack. B. c., to SUI

Ann Arbor passenger train No. 3,
from Toledo for Cadillac, was wrecked
one mile north of Shepherd last Friday
night by a tree which had been blown
across the track during the heavy wind
storm. The engine was piled into the
ditch with the tender beside it and the
baggage and mail car was elevated in
the air with twenty five feet of bent rail
sticking out of the roof. The smoker,
right side up, stood diagonally across
the track and one passenger coach was
also derailed. Very luckily no one was
hurt seriously, although Conductor
Bright, brother of j. O. Bright of this
place, was bruised considerably. A
young hobo was stealing a ride on the
front of the engine and when it struck
the tree he performed three ring arial

1t will be noticed that while there is
not as much cash balance on hand as
there was one year ago, considerable has
been expended in repairs on the school
building and il will not be necessary 10
expend any great amount again for sew
eral years. When it is taken into con-
sideration that the school tax has not
been increased at all in order to meet
this necessary outlay of money, it will
be seen that the administration of the
school board during the past year has
been very economical one.

board to succeed V. M. Wilson and j.

elected to succeed themselves.

at rapid rate 1t will be only a question
of few years when the building will
have to be erected In connection with
this Mr. Holmes thought the best and
most economical plan for the district
was to purchase a site now while suit
able location is available, and asked for
an expression from those present in re-
gard to so doing. T. A. Ely was the
only one who responded and he expressed

In order that the signals can be given
in manner that will designate the dis
trict in hich the fire is located direc-
tions will be printed and placed in the
fire hall instructing all persons turning
in an alarm TO press the electric alarm
communicating with the engineer at the
power house, once for district number
one, two times for district number two
and so on with the remaining two dis.
tricts. The engineer in response will
give one long blast on the alarm whistle
in case of fire in district number one,
or corresponding number Of blasts to
the number of the district signaled.
1t is hoped in connection with this
change TO have the alarm whistle at the
power house changed in some manner so
that the firemen in the west part Of
town can hear the alarm as the bell is
not sufficiently loud enough, and where
the whistle is now, located below and
back of the flour MILL it is impossible to
hear it at any distance in the western

Respect Rural Mail Boxes.
Postal Officials ENCOURAGED at Lack Of Crime
Attending Country Free Delivery System.

Postal Officials ENCOURAGED at Lack OF Crime
Attending Country Free Delivery System.
Superintendent Machen of the free
delivery service says the most encourag
ing thing developed in the experiment
with the rural free delivery is the re-
spect of the people for government pro-
perty. The strongest argument used
against the introduction Of the system
was that the mail boxes along the OBJ
scure country roads would be subject to
tramps and idlers who wished to tamper
with their contents. The mail wagons
carrying stamps, money and registered
letters would yield rich harvest for
footpads and highwaymen as did the
stage. coach and star route carriers of
early days, The remarkable result is
that out of several thousand boxes, many
of them on lonely and secluded roads,
only two instances of the mail being
tampered with have been heard of. One
case was where there was an actual
theft, and the other the result OF 1eal-
ousy of country beau who desired TO
see what was passing between lass and
her favored lover. In Carroll county,
Md, just outside of Washington, the
postal business has increased and the
four postal wagons in service have done
as much business during the first quar-
ter of the experiment as did sixty-three
postoffices that were discontinued.
