THE NAN AND THE DOLLAR

THE NAN AND THE DOLLAR
Governor Roosevelt very effectu
ly and artistically pricked one of Mr..
Bryan's rhetorical bubbles in his De-
troit speech. He said:
1--WE have been hearing good deal
recently of Mr.. Bryan's statement
that he wanted to put the man be-
fore the dollar and not the dollar be-
for the man. Instead of bothering
about whether the man is ahead of
the dollar or the dollar is ahead of
the man or whether the gold dollar
is q 'robber'-Whatever that may
mean--or anything else preposter-
Gus, let us fix our attention on the
fact that the policy followed for the
last three years has resulted in bring
ing the man and the dollar together.
That is what man really wants with
a dollar. He is not interested in any
flight of fancy as to whether he is be-
hind or in front of the dollar. He
wants to get hold of it, and when he
gets hold OF it he wants to find it
worth 100 cents and not As cents.
When a man can get hold of dollar
he Is it's master, and when he cannot
get hold of it he cannot master it. At
present we give the wageworker
work and we provide that he is paid
full value for his work."

Newton Journal: Do you remem-
Der that at this time in 1895 it was
practically Impossible to borrow any
amount Of money on any kind Of
security or any rate of interest? Now
any man with any reasonable secur-
ity can get what money he wants and
at rates of interest as low as five per
cent, even in the west. Which would
be better for the country for the next
four years, a Democratic or Repub.
lican administration, and which do
you want?

Gov. Roosevelt gave a practical
Illustration of "militarism" at De.
troit, Mich, a few days ago and made
ridiculous the Democratic fear of q
standing army. There were five regu.
lar army soldiers in an audience Of
several thousand people. He called
them to the stage and said:
"Now behold your tyrants! There
are here Ave soldiers to 1000 people
in this audience, which is larger
percentage of tyranny in this house
than the percentage of the regular
army bears to the whole number OF
the people of this country"

SLAUGHTER or SONG BIRDS IN
JAPAN,


Congressman Lacey is receiving
letters from all parts of the country
on the subject of saving the birds.
The following letter from the Presi-
dent of Leland Stanford Junior Uni
versity gives an account of the ruin
that has been wrought in Japan:
Stanford University, CAL, Sept 10,
1900. Hon. John F. Lacey, Oska-
loosa, Iowa. Dear Sir:-I have Just
returned from Japan. In going about
the woods / was astonished at the
total absence of singing birds. Only
crows, rare blue jay, and an ever
present sparrow, like our English
sparrow, were to be seen. learned
that some years ago when the craze
of wearing dead birds came on, the
demand from Paris reached Japan,
and there being no laws or public
opinion on the subject, the people
spread bird lime in the forests every
where, and the song-birds we're vir-
tually extermiDated. found no
terms along the sea-shore. These
facts may be useful in any further
struggle with this wasteful and vulgar
fashion. Very truly yours,
DANIEL GoRDAN.

The rapid growth of our business
with japan in rails and machinery
during the past four years is an in
dication of what may be accomplished
in that quarter in the future under
proper encouragement. Four years
ago American rails were unknown in
Japan, but at the present they more
than double in quantity the rails
which come from England, which up
to 1896 constituted the chief source
of supply. 1t is believed that Amer
leans have it in their power to prac-
tically control the supply of rails and
railroad material generally with
Japan during the next decade. AS
an indication, it is cited that the
Carnegie company signed a contract
at Kobe for 5000 tons of rails at a
price of $3,2s per ton under the low
est English bid. The men who man
ufacture these rails contribute to the
well being of the farmers whose sup
plies feed and clothe them.-Hard-
ware.

VENGEANCEOF A MOB
Negro Is Burned at the Stake in an
Alabama Town.

Wetumpka, Ala, Oct. 3. Winfield
Townsend, alias Floyd, a negro, was
burned at the stake in the little town
of Eclectic, Is miles from this place,
a half hour after midnight Tuesday
morning. The negro's crime was an
attempted assault on Mrs. Lonnie Har-
rington, whose husband set fire to the
fuel which reduced Townsend's body
to ashes. Monday afternoon at one
o'clock Townsend, who was nephew
of the negro Floyd, hanged a week ago
for an attempted assault, attempted to
assault Mrs, Harrington. The woman's
screams were heard by Bob Nichols, a
negro, who was passing along the road
at the time. He ran to the house in
time to see the negro escape.
Dogs ON the Trail.
As soon as Mrs. Harrington was re-
stored to consciousness Nichols gave
the alarm. The news spread rapidly.
All the stores at Eclectic were instant
ly closed, the ginneries and sawmills
shut down, the people left their wagons
in the road and their plows in the field
and gathered for pursuit of the me-
gro. The crowd divided, some securing
the woods near the scene of the crime
and others going to the penitentiary
for bloodhounds. The dogs were not
brought to the scene until nearly dark.
They were taken to where the negro's
tracks disappeared and an exciting
chase ensued. The dogs stopped final
ly at tree in front of Odion's store on
the north outskirts of Eclectic. The
crowd coming up soon discovered the
negro sitting on limb. He was brought
down at once and taken TO the scene
of his crime. There he was confronted
by his victim, who positively identified
him.
A Horrible Fate.
Word was sent to the other searching
parties that the negro had been found
and about IL O'Clock crowd of several
hundred was in the little village. The
negro was taken to the edge of the viii
lage and preparations for his death
were quickly made. A rope was flung
over the limb of big oak and hun
dred men stood ready to swing him up.
ASh q hdlb was IdllCu anu lDe manner
of death discussed by the mob A vote
was taken and the balloting showed
majority of the crowd to favor death
at the stake. The stake was prepared
and the negro bound to il with chains.
Pine knots were piled about him and
the flames were started by the hus-
band Of Townsend's victim. AS they
leaped to the negro's flesh he uttered
wild cries to God for mercy and help.
The crowd looked on deaf to his cries
and in an hour the negro was reduced
to ashes.
Townsends before being bound, con-
fessed the crime and said he was also
implicated with Alex Floyd, who was
hanged two weeks ago for an attempt
ed assault on Miss Kate Pearson. He
said he and Floyd had planned for 9TH
er crimes of like character.

pletely Destroyed.

Fort Dodge, Oct. 2-About eight
O'Clock last night fire started in the
basement of the Oleson Drug Com

can of carbolic acid. The elevator
shaft communicated the fire and
smoke to the second and third stor-
les SO quickly that some women
were imprisoned in living rooms on
the third floor and were rescued
from the balcony by firemen. 1t re-
quired an hour and half to get the
fire under control, by which time
the 5000 stock was almost totally
ruined by fire, smoke and water.

night and in the action with the assis-

tered royal English snub to Alder
man Lines, who made motion (his

figure with the majority of the Board.
When the Mayor called for new busi-
ness, Mr.. Lines offered a motion that
two disinterested auditors be ap-
pointed to go over the accounts Of the
town treasurer. The members ex-
changed glances and then simultane-
ously turned towards Alderman Reed,
who Immediately came to their rescue
by making motion to adjourn which
was carried, thus leaving Alderman
Lines the space Of another month in
which to nurse his motion.

OUTFITTERS FOR MEN, BOYS

Goods we'll bought are more than
half sold" is an old and truthful
saying of trade 1t has never been as
we'll exemplified in the clothing trade
in this city as in the present stock of
Crosby & Hill. McAlpin Block. Their
buyer, William G. Anderson has been
familiar with the finer grade of
ready made clothing and gentlemen s
furnishings for years and he is an ac-
knowledged expert as to quality, fit
and finish. Anticipating the advance
which came later, Mr.. Anderson
purchased an unusually large stock
before the advance in prices and a
careful inspection of prices and stock,
which comprises only the newest and
correct styles will show that it is
proposed to give customers the advan-
tage of his foresight and experience.
In Dress Goods, Millinery and
House Furnishings Messrs. Crosby and
Hill also have a large and attractive
stock.
