That Man Ecker Again.

The REGISTER some time ago told
its readers about Mr.. Oscar Ecker
who while an able bodied man left his
W life and three children and went else
where. The family went to the Poor
Farm. Eckler was discovered and
arrested for failure to support his
family. At the time he was playing
pool in a billiard hall in this city,
practice which is one of the most sup
ernuous luxuries of mankind.
Well, Ecker appeared when arrest
ed. He said be did not want to live
with his wife, but he had large and
growing love for his children.
He felt so bad about them and his
separation from them that he could
not talk about it and paid "a lawyer
a fat fee to appear and show
how he loved those children and how
he had tried again and again to get
them and care Tor them. That was
months ago. The court decided that
Echler had been mistreated and that
he really intended to get and care for
his children. Did he do it
The report of the superintendent of
the poor farm shows that Mrs. Ecker
and three children, aged ,, 6, and $
years, are all living there. The board
issued papers which authorized Mr..
Ecker to remove his children from
the farm, but he never called for it.
And so Allen county is paying the
board of this family of four while Mr..
Ecker, the billiard and pool playing
father, is busy elsewhere,

BRYAN's GREENBACK IDEA.
II Is similar 10 the National Debt
Paying scheme Away Back
in 1865.

The Bryan financial scheme is appar-
emily the grand old iCca that carried
the democracy of Ohio of their feet IN
1865. and that was simply 20 print
enough grepnbacks to pay Of the ma
tional debt and have done wish il.
This beautiful thought had majority
in the convention that nominated Scy-
mour and Blair. The actual CONVERSE
ton referred to was this:
Energetic Greenbuciler opened The
talk by saying: Hello, you, here; don't
you think you want some more money?
Don't YOU think we al ought to have
some more money"
Second Citizen Speaking mildly
Well, yes, | think I'd like to have some
more money, and
Energetic Citizen and Leading DEM
ocrat,-Well, then, why don't you help
us have it? What are you standing
around for? Why don't you come and
go with us? You want more money,
and l want more money. If we all say
so we can have il, can't we? Amt the
people going 10 rule this country any
more? If we say print the money
they'll print il, won't they? You be-
long right with us.
Second Citizen-But how about re-
deeming it? How about paying il up?
Stalward Democrat (again) Redeem
it! What the devil do You want 10 re-
deem it for? Let it wear out, and print
more of it!
Now, that was the grand Old way Of
paying the national debt in Us It
doesn't look unlikely that Mr.. Bryan
will have to make that the paramount
issue in this campaign after all, for
there will be wildfre in the woods
about the protectorate in the Philip
pines and the Monroe doctrine in Asia

enlarge GAS CITY SMELTER
Mr.. Cockrell Says the Nevada Shelter
will Close and the Gas Smelter be
Increased

Nevada, Mo-, Oct. 3.-Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager A. B.
Cockrell, of the Cherokee-Lanyon
Spelter Company, was asked today If
there was any truth in the rumor that
the company's works AZ this point
were likely to close down. He replied
"There is a strong probability that
the works here will shut down at tn e
end of the year, though it is possible
they may be operated longer. The
cost of slack is such that the works
cannot be operated in competition
with natural gas. Our plant at Pitts
burg Kansas will be closed down this
week for that reason. We employ
about eighty men there. The first one
to shut down did so in '92 and three
others stopped about a year ago.
Our plant there was built in 80 and
has been in operation ever since, but
it shuts down this week.
'Our plant here in Nevada is the
only one our company has running in
the coal fields, and as | stated, the
price of slack is advancing, making it
absolutely impossible for us to com
pete with plants operated in the natu-
raj gas belt. 1t is likely our plant at
Gas City will be enlarged and the
plant shut down here by the end of the
year."
The Cheroke-Lanyon works now en-
ploy about seventy men, four furnaces
and six kilnsI being in operation. This
is about half its capacity. one-hali
the furnaces having been closed down
several months since. If the Cherokee
Lanyon works close down it is highly
probable the Nevada or Nicholson
works will be forced to do the same
for a like reason.
