WOMAN Is THE VICTIM.
Alleged Insurance SwindIe Rebounds
on Fellow Cousy,irator


ON Fellow Couspirator.
DIR. August NJ. Unger, +. Wayland
Brow aud Frank H. Smiley are prison
ers in the Jail at Chicago, where they are
being held in default OF $4,000 bail
each, to answer charges Of conspiring to
defraud Insurance companies. A charge
of murder may be placed against the ply
stefan, and an investigation now being
conducted may lead to the arrest of
number of persons who are thought 10 be
involved in wholesale attempt TO swim
die insurance companies. Unger is sus-
peCted of such a connection with the mys-
ferrous death of Marie Defenbach, as
may result in his being held on a graver
charge. The woman. who was % years
of age, died ON Saturday. Aug %.
The plain charge is made that Miss
Defenbach and the men under arrest en-
tered into a conspiracy to defraud the
Insurance companies, and that one of the
men, fearipg exposure, caused the wom-
ans death, Edward Maher, who repre-
sents the Mooney & Boland detective
agency. of which Brown and Smiley were
employees. and which conducted she in
yestig"tion. said that he had evidence to
prove that Miss Defenhach, with the as
sistancc Of Unger and Brown, secured

policies on her life from the New York
Life Insurance Company for S. 900; from
the Canadian Order of Foresters for 50,
600. and frem the knights and Ladies of
Honor for $1,000 with the intention Of
securing the payment of the policies by
fraud He declares that Unger and
Brown induced Smiley TO enter the plot
and become the beneficiary as the "in-
tended husband of Miss Defenbach.

spirators planned to make ii appear that

Maher says that Miss Defenbach was
poisoned and that the men under arrest
attempted to collect the insurance on her
life. This led to the investigation.

WHAT A VOTE FOR
w. j. BRYAN MEANS.

On Sept 16. 1896, at Knoxville. Tenn,
Mr.. w. j. Bryan made it clear 10 every
body what a vote for him meant in
these words:
If there is any one who believes
the gold standard is good thing,
or that it must be maintained, i
warn him not TO cast his vote for
me. because promise him 1t win
not be maintained in this country
longer than am able to get rid
Of it.
There are two things. then, which
those who believe the gold standard
must be maintained should determine
as regards Mr. Bryan Ia this campaign.
The first is: Has Mr.. Bryan the power
to get rid of the gold standard if he still
wants to get rid of II? The second is:
Does be still want to get rid Of it? Does
he std say, The gold standard will not
be maintained In this country longer
than | am able to get rid Of it,?
AS to the first, Mr. Gage, Secretary of
the Treasury, has shown that If Mr..
Bryan were elected President he could
get rid of the gold standard as soon as
he took office, throwing this country ON
a silver basis at once. He could do this.
Secretary Gage explains, by ordering
his Secretary of the Treasury to pay
coin" bonds in silver, and to meet the
current Government expenditures in
silver.
as to the second-that is, as to
whether Mr.. Brayan still wants to get
rid of the gold standard-we have an
obvious Inference from something he
refuses to say, and we have his own
direct testimony that he dor want to
get rid of the gold stanfaId In this
campaign Mr.. Bryan DIS been asked
whether If he wef~ elected President.

YouTsEY CAUSES A SENSATION.

Shouts Arthur Goebet Is Liar and
that He Is Innocent.
One of the most remarkable scenes
ever enacted in Kentucky court occur
red Tuesday night in the Youtsey trial at
Georgetown, Ky. Arthur Goebel, who
had been PIT on the stand, testified: Il
talked with Youtsey the day he was ar
rested in the Jail in Frankfort in refer
ence to the murder of my brother"
Toutsey jumped up and shouted: 1T is
untrue-it is a lieI never spoke a word
to that man in my life, nor he to me-
Youtsey's wife sprung to his side, and
while endeavoring 10 make him sit down
could be heard saying: Now you have
killed my husband, suppose you are
satisfied" Youtsey Historically shouted
again: Il am innocent; there is no blood
on my hands; those men are swearing my
life away"
''Mr. Sheriff, il the defendant does not
behave himself put handouts on him. I"
said Judge Cantrill. Meanwhile the au-
dieuce could not be forced 10 keep their
seats until the judge threatened II fine
those who stood up Youtsey cried hys-
terically. and finally the trial was post
poned till the next day on account OF the
Defendants condition.

he would pay ''coin' bonds in silver and
meet the current Government expendi-
lures in silver. To this question Mr.
Bryan has refused to answer.
Nevertheless, we have direct testi-
mony from Mr.. Bryan himself that he
still wants TO get rid Of the gold stand
al /, and that If he were elected Presi-
dent the gold standard would not he
maintained any longer than he should
lie able to get rid Of 1t, which would be
on tire day he and his Secretary of the
Treasury took office. That direct tes-
timony was given by Mr.. Bryan in his
speech delivered at GAINESVILLE. Ohio, on
Sept. 4. 1900, when he said:
The party stands where it did in
1896 oil the money question.
Every voter who casts his ballot for
William Jennings Bryan votes that the
gold standard shall not be maintained
after March !, 1901.

TANNING THE WILD INDIANS.
Interfnarriage with Whites Solving
the Redman's Problem.

Uncle Sans agents are now trying to
marry off all Of the young Indians living
in the Indian territory to respectable
white persons. Last February the United
States took charge Of the schools in the
Indian territory, and Supervisor j. ID.
Benedict was placed in charge He found
that the Indians were not being taught
properly, in fact, they were not being
taught at all. although their government
had erect ed fine stone and brick colleges
and appropriated the sum Of $40 for the
education OF each child yearly. This
money, Mr.. Benedict found, was going
into the pockets Of indian politicians
Mr. Benedict decided to discharge all
the teachers and import young women
fro mthe East. Nuke the Indians learn
our ways" he told hem. These young
wogslen found the Indian boys falling In
love with them. One woman fell In love
with q wild fuiI-blood buck and welded
him. Last spring many other teachers
followed her example Then the young
male professors found some charm about
the red squaws and their pile Of cash. so

Then comes the pipe of tobacco,
which we will throw in for good meas
ure and we find the full dinner pail
contains 20 cents worth. Who gets the
20 cents? No one will question that the
farmer gets about three-ffths of it, for
he furnishes everything except the tea
or coffee.
Then the railroad gets some, the
wholesaler, the grocer. the butcher and
the baker.
Suppose there were 100000 full
dinner pals and they were filled 300
days in the year. At l. cents apiece
that would be $500. 100000 for the
farmer alone, and $40, 100000 to be d.
vided between the others
But the man with full dinner pail
has Il @ull breakfast table and full
supper table as well. And there are on
an average five stomachs to be filled at
