Further evidence of the pros
perity that has come to the country
as whole under the wise admins
tration of President Mckinley is
furnished by Thomas B. Milliken,
state bank examiner of Indiana.
A dispatch says that Mr.. Milliken
has received answers to inquiries,
which he sent to bankers in his
own state and Illinois, Minnesota,
Kentucky, Ohio, North Dakota
and Colorado. The replies all
agree that during the last four
years deposits have increased 100
per cent, while interest rates have
perceptibly lowered. Deposits in
savings banks are especially larger.
Mr.. Milliken summarizes the re-
suit of the Investigations as
follows:
The average small bank in a
town of 1000 or so inhabitants,
where the bank would have $4,000
on deposit in 1896, would have
$95, 900 in 1897, $135,OOO in 1898,
$183, 900 in 1899 and 100000 in
1900.
This rule, Mr.. Milliken says,
holds good all through the states
in which he made inquiries and at
the same time credits of cities
have much improved.
While American factories are
running full time and paying the
highest wages on record, many
English manufactures are at their
wits end for orders and some have
been obliged to shut down their
works. This shows the results
productivity the widely different
trade policies of the two nations
It proves that the American policy
as expounded by President Nc
Kinley is the better for all con-
cerned.
Mr.. Bryan's letter of acceptance
also indicates that the paramount
issue' is to be relegated to the
bone yard. Trusts and the free
coinage of silver are gone into al
great length, while imperialism
is disposed of in less than 20C
words at the very close. Evidently
the leaders have discovered that
the bogy is no good that people
are too intelligent to be frightened
by anything SO absolutely silly.

Bryan says that the present
prosperity of the country is due to
''an unusual and unnatural stimu-
lation." Is it not better to con-
tinue the party in power capable
of producing unusual stimulation
rather than change for one which
produces unusual stagnation?

Another Explosion.

Editors HsrGld.--On the date of
December 16, 1898, wrote land it
was published in The HERALD) about
two steam explosions caused by using
syrup buckets to cook in. One Of
them was in my own family, and as
it happened, with no bad results. The
other happened in Ottumwa where a
young lady was badly burned. And
now the unexpected has happened
again and two of our nearest neigh
bors, Mrs. Swope and her son Roy,
living on North E street, are the
victims. Friday Miss Esta Swope had
prepared some sassafras tea in one
of these little tin syrup buckets, and
just as she was removing the bucket
from the stove, the lid blew off and
the most of the contents of the bucket
went into her face, and she is badly
burned. Her eyes escaped.
The little boy was also severely
burned on the head. DR.. Hugg was
called and dressed the burns, and the
sufferers are doing as well as could
be expected. 1t would be well for
people to take warning about the use
of these buckets. r.a

A Sad Death.

The Eddyville Tribune gives the
following particulars of sad death
which occurred there last week:
"Eva Brooks was born January 3,
1888, and died January q, 1900, aged
II years and "a days. This is pc
culiarly sad death, since almost un-
known in our midst, an orphan with
out relatives, has passed to her re-
ward. Those who attended her
speak in highest terms of her sweet
spirit and unbounded faith that God
would take care of her, Her closest
friend seemed to be her intended hus
band, who for several weeks cared
tenderly for the patient sufferer, I'M
til his own health broke and he was
compelled to leave her in the care of
friends, who ministered to her to the
best of their ability, until she passed
away"

A WARM TIME.
Prairie Fire Came Near Wfping Coal.
field or the DIap-the Powder House
MOI Saved by Hard Fighting.

Eddyville Tribune. TUESDAY after
noon Geo. L. Miller, whose farm is
located just north of Coalfield, con-
Guided to burn patch of weeds, and
scratching match on the warm side
of his pants, touched them off. In
Pabout two minutes he found himself
the sole proprietor and general man
ager of a first-class prairie fire, that
was spreading and sweeping over the
country like a race horse. 1t bore
down on Steph Richardson's place
and went through a 40 acre field,
'wipfng up large hay stack and do
ing other;damage. This only seemed
to warm it up to its work and it rush
ed on at wild pace toward Coalfield.
George was trotting close second,
Just touching the high places, and
yelling FIRE at every jump. He and
the fire. arrived at the top of the hill
that leads down to the town at about
the same time, and there he had a
chill. The fire was sweeping down
towards the powder house, which
was surrounded by high weeds, brush
and other inflamable material, and
he saw that the quarantine was liable
to be raised without the usual form
alities.
About this time the engineers at the
mines saw the danger and blew the
whistles. In about two minutes
everybody in the town, that didn't
have the smallpox, had mop or
some fire fighting instrument and
were to the rescue. 1t was hard
battle, and the flames were not SUBJ
dued until they were within a few
feet Of the building. To make the
condition more serious a car load
1.-TWO thousand kegs of powder had
just been.stored there, and had it ex-
ploded people would have been vac
cinnated with the genuine article all
over that section of Monroe county.
