IT IS reported that the price of iron and steel
is falling. This does not come from any bus
mss depression. but from natural causes easily
accounted for. The high price was abnormal
and bad two effects. First, it stopped many
proposed buildings and decreased export, thus
limiting demand. In the next place, the high
price stimulated production, till now the
market is full and more sellers appear. The
whole matter is simply an attempt to settle
down to normal prices. The prosperity of the
times still calls for an enormous consumption
of iron and steel Fair prices will increase
consumption and decline will stop.

rine ridge, stretching from Spitzbergen to Green
land To this ridge is due curious condition.
The Arctic is covered with layer Of slightly
salt water from the Siberian rivers and Bering
Strait, and under this is the normally salt Gulf
Stream water. If the two layers were mixed,
the average temperature would fall. but this
average would not be as cold as the surface
layer. This accounts for the enormous forma-
ton of polar Ice.

COURT NEWS.

In the case Of Henry w. Harter
against Frank Yengling and Perry
Young for the setting aside Of trans
fer of property and the collection Of
Young has filed an answer
through Baldwin and Young. He as
serts that there was no fraud in the
transfer of the property in question
from Yengling to himself but that 1t
was done for valid consideration. He
says that while the deed is absolute 1t
was intended simply as collateral secur-
ity for debts that Yengling owed him.
He says that Yengling owes him $317
now and asks that his claim be held as
a first lien on the property and unless
Yengling pays up that the property be
sold and settlement made.
In the suit Of Robert C. Bialy against

In the evening Mrs. Gait addressed
an audience in the church that num-
bered about 100. She spoke eloquently
and said that there was no reason that
would deny the suffrage to women
that could not be equally used as to
men. She showed how the matter of
man suffrage had been an evolution
and how it had given the men of this
land a standing and a manhood that
they did not have before. She said 1t
would do the same for women and cited
the states where the women do vote as
proof of her statements. She said there
was more true respect for women in
Wyoming and Colorado than any where
else in the country.
After Mrs. Cats address Miss Hay
made few remarks and stated that it
was intended to organize a suffrage
club in this city. Names were called
for from those who would become
members and several announced them
selves as willing to join.

For the Patriots Who Are Struggling
For Their Freedom.
HISTORY OF THE TROUBLE
That Led Up to the War Being waged by
A Great Nation Against a Weak And
Struggling Republic-some
strong Appeals To
Americans.

The lecture announced to take place
at the Grand Tuesday evening was very
poorly attended, and must have been
very discouraging tot he speaker, Mr..
p. Louter Vessels, as 1t was expected
that the citizens, particularly the Ger
mans, would attend in large numbers.
About $3.50 o'clock the curtain was
raised and the Rasor Mandolin club
played two selections. Mayor James II.
Robertson, in neat and well worded
speech, introduced the speaker of the
evening, z. Louter Vessels of Bloem-
fontein, Orange Free State, South Afri-
ca, who in a plain and fair manner re-
cited the cause of the present Boer-
English controversy. The speaker,
while not gifted in oratory, used good
language, and began with the settling
of the Beers in South Africa nearly 400
years ago. of their thrift and struggles
for homes, independence and liberty.
Mr. Vessels is a native born Boer, was
raised i'm the country, travelled round
throughout it, and Is thoroughly read
on the subject. 1.-The Beers" said Mr..
Vessels, Originally settled at Cape
Colony, but were driven back by the
encroachments of the English until they
finally settled in the Orange Free State
and the Transvaal. And the popula-
tion of Cape Colony and South Africa Is
about three-fourth Beers, and their en-
tire sympathies is with them in the
struggle. The Beers are conscientious
Christian people. Drunkenness was
never seen among them. Their children
were comfortably educated in the COM
mon branches and were fitted for col
lege, where they were sent If the parents
were able to do so. Both English and
German were taught and the school sys-
tenn was patterned after that of the
United States, but upon a smaller
scale" The speaker referred to the
greed of the English in trying to OBJ
tain possession of the most valuable
properties of the Beers and said cal
though you have never seen our people,
therefore do not know them, we are hu-
man and will resist to the bitter end this
move of might against right. The les
son has been one to be remembered by
the British, as 10000 of their people have
died in the. struggle.

ches alongside of their gray haired IA
thers, their husbands and sons, and be-
fore the conquering of our people they

OF Arsenic Poisoning, Which Came
Near killing Mrs Winold.
WINOLD TO ESTABLISH ALIBI
A Trial which viii Have More or
Less of Local Interest, as
wInoid is Well Known
Here.

News Democrat Leased Wire Service.1
Cincinnati, April 17.-It is most likely
that a charge of murder will be placed
against Fatha Gillen before another
day, as Miss Calvin, nurse in Mrs.
Winold's family, is dying from the ef-
fects Of the arsenic administered in oat-
meal at breakfast, March 20, which
came near killing Mrs. Winold, her two
children, her mother and the nurse.
The Gillen girl, the new domestic, con-
fessed that she was an accessory to the
crime, but that Winold, who was di-
vorced from Mrs. Winold, who had le-
gally fought for the custody of the chill
dren, personally administered the poi
son and threatened her life If she told.
The police now believe that Winold
can establish complete alibi that he
was not in or near Cincinnati for sew
eral days previous to the poisoning.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Drunken Man Nearly Loses His
Life But Is Rescued Just
In Time.

Alliance, April 1S.-When the south
pulled out from the depot Frank STAN
ley Of near Sebring, who was standing
at the opposite side Of the track from
the express office, concluded he would
like to have a ride. So as the train was
passing rapidly by him he made an ef-
fort to board It, but being in an intox-
icated condition he failed in the at
tempt. His hold upon the train was
SO low that it was impossible for him
to get his foot upon the step, and he .
hung dangling in the air. Part of the
time his body and legs were swinging
under the train and part Of the time
his feet were striking the gravel and
end Of the ties, and 1t looked as IL his
life would be dashed out. When he
had dragged about so feet or more Will
liam Grimes, who was standing close
by, grabbed him firmly by the should
ers and wrenched him from his peril
lous position. officer Weir was stand
ing close by and was upon the scene
before the venturesome man had recov-
cred standing posture. and claimed
him as his prisoner and marched him to
the city lookup. Stanley was arraign-
ed before the mayor this morning and
was fined 81 and costs for being intox-
icated and was released upon payment

rescued just when he was 1t is probable
that he would have been killed or at
