What Do You Think OF This ?

We wish to call the attention OF
our readers to the following state
mcnt made by Mr.. Bryan in 1896:
"If there is one who believes
the "Gold Standard" is good
thing, or that it must be main
tanned, I warn him not to cast
his vote for me, because prom
ise him it will not be maintain
ed in this country any longer
than am able to get rid of it,
This language was used by Hon.
VIM. Jennings Bryan, in a speech at
Knoxville, Tennessee, on September
16, 1896.
You will notice that Mr.. Bryan
does not want the vote of "any one
who believes the Gold Standard is a
good thing"
Can any believe otherwise after
witnessing our sound business pros
perity since the Gold Standard law
has been enacted.
Mr.. Bryan made Il promise 10 the
American voters that the Gold STAN
dard law "will not be maintained in
this country longer than he is able
to get rid of it," The election of
Mr.. Bryan to the Presidency would,
therefore, be Immediately followed
by attacks upon the financial integ-
rity of the United States and of eve
ry individual citizen. The result
would be repetition Of the business
panic and disaster that we expert
enced during the last Democratic
administration.

Ei,ab,hrac Echo:
The terrible excitement caused
by the robhcrics of Friday, Saturday
and Sunday nights was further in
tcnsiicd by the running down of
the leader of the band Of desrcra-
does at the horrible end.
When the report reached town at
about eight o'clock, Monday morn
ing that Frohm, Alias Jones, was
seen at Rombcrgcr'S, near the camp
ground, about half an hour Prev
ious, the story was discrcditcd but
it was worth an investigation. ROM
berger was seen, and the desert ption
of his early morning visitor left no
possible room for doubt. Frohm
had spent several hours in assisting
him in making cider. lie had quart
,ot whiskry in his rockct, half of
which, together with almost quart
Of cider he had drank before he lett
the cider mill. 1y the time |e set
ont towards the mountain, hombcr-
ger declares he was pretty thorough
" intoxicated.
After leaving Romhcrgcr's, Frohm
crossed the railroad and disappeared
in the woods. Probably fifteen min
utcs later II. y. Earnest was accost-
ed on the railroad tracks some dis
tancc below RombcIgcr's, and ORDER
ed to halt. Earnest recognizing the
man as Frohm ran rapidly to tie
nearest farm house and gave the a.
larm. Frohm fired a shot at Earn
est but missed his mark.
1t was the work of but a few
'moments ior ConstabiesD 18th
to organize large posse of men
and the search was once more COM
mcncrd II. W. Stinc and Harry

an oath, he remarked ~ II h"I' you

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1900-09-01

The construction of a feet of large ocean
steamers for carrying both freight and pas
sengers by the New York Central Railroad
has been under discussion of late This i'm
provement has been projected in connec-
ton with the improvements of the terminal
at Weehawken and the expenditure of be-
tween 100000 and s4.OO0O0O in enlarging
the yards there. building new piers and
tracks and a general increase of freight
capacity. Some time ago the New York
Central increased its capital stock by
$4,000. 600. and this money was spent in
buying new rolling stock. 1t has just been
stated by a prominent railroad official that
even this enormous expenditure for equip
ment had been insufficient, and that an
other SIS coo would now have to be added
to ii for engines. The road has not enough
cars and engines to handle the enormous
traffic offered. The decision to expend be-
tween SO, 900. 900 and s4000.o0o on the Wee
hawken terminal is only one item of the
extraordinary expenditures. Other millions
have been spent in bridges. structural steel
improved grades and tracks and stations
II is the increase in traffic capacity and the
decision to reconstruct the Weehawken
terminal that has suggested the building of
a line of steamers for interoceanic freight
and passenger traffic. The increasing de-
mand for American coal In European mar
kets. IL is believed, may have some bearing
on the project.

HIGHS MYSTERIOUS INJURIES
He Is Supposed to Have Jumped
Through "A window.

Charles High, formerly a machinist at
the Brightwood shops, was taken to ST.
Vincent's Hospital at midnight. suffering
from severe bruises and a deep cash in his
side, a deep cut on the right wrist and
numerous slight cuts all over his body. He
was found at 1l:20 D. m, lying on the
ground under window In his brother s
home at 1902 Cornell avenue He had
jumped from the window, jumping through
the glass and slat blinds. When picked up
he was muttering something about getting
away from evil spirits. DR.. feathers. who
was called, said his condition was probably
due to excessive drink. and he was bor-
dering delirium tremens.
B. f. Gift and c. r. Gift, father and son.
living at $50 East Tenth street. heard the
crash of glass and rushed from the house,
reaching High just Con Campbell. of
$40 East Georgia street, who was about a
square away, came I'D. High was known
to all of them, and he was picked up and
carried TO the Gift home, awaiting the ar
rival of the dsDensary ambulance. High
was injured at the shops about a month
ago and was unable to work. 1t is said he
had been drinking heavily. and after his
brother, with whom he lived. went to
Nebraska to visit, took other quarters. The
family is still absent, ard it is not
known. how High got into the house,
the key having been left at the Gift
Home. No one could be found who had
seen him during the day and Mrs. Ryan,
with whom he boarded, said he had not
been at the house. The window through
which ne jumped was one in the bathroom
and there it was found High had evidently
been fo- hours In the bathtub was blood
which had dried. and on the floor were
large pools of blood, and there was blood
spattered on the dressing table and upon
the walls. AT the side of the tub was a
broken glass tumbler. Whether or not High
accidentally or purposely cut himself with
the glass was not known. His underwear,
soaked with water, was in the tub. His out
er garments could not be found in the
rooms adjoining. The cut on the side was
about six inches in length and was deep.
This was thought to have been received by
his jump through the glass. The cut on the
wrist was thought to have been inflicted
with the broken tumbler. At the hospital
1t was said he was not seriously injured
and would probably recover
