A Washington despatch says that
President Mckinley has left a fortune
of not more than $4,000, and at least
$4,000 of that is in the form of cash,
which is in the banks of Washington
and Canton. His fortune, except per-
haps $4,000 has been saved since he was
first inaugurated President. The fact
that 1t is in the form of cash shows how
Jealous the late President was of his
reputation. offered many opportunities
to add materially to his wealth by specu-
lation. Mr.. Mckinley invariably refused.
He refused even to invest his savings In
government bonds. His fortune is left
entirely to his wife. 1t is understood
that Senator Hanna is made executor,
and Is given charge OF the income.

JUST THEIR POLICY.

The Clipper, the official organ of
Democracy in this county, criticises
the board of commissioners severely
for the appointment of Mrs. Wilson
to fill out the term of our late County
Superintendent Hanks. 1t holds that
a straight Democrat should have been
given the place. Mrs. Wilson is to
be commended on the fact of never
having been a professional politician
of any sort, but it is generally under
stood that she and her family have
been what might be termed Independ-
ent Populists. She certainly has
never been a spouting partisan of
any party, and herein lays her sin.
The Clipper editorial on this ques-
ton emphasizes the RECORDS recent
assertion that the Democrats will
never tolerate in Office or on Demo-
cratic ticket any other than genu-
inc old school Jacksonian Democrat.
From janitor of the court house to
district judge this policy is strictly
carried out. So it is now in order for
all those who will ride in the Demo-
cratic band wagon to get upon the
house top and make the Dave Hill
declaration, or they will be allowed
to walk behind. The name of every
party at the head, but every man a
Democrat on the ticket, is fusion,
you know.

away from the score and fairly flew
over the track in order to keep up
with their spike, Leroy. With the
speed of railroad train they rushed
toward the finish, when by an un-
fortunate accident one of the swings
fell and dragged four or FIVE men
down with him. and but for the cool
judgment Of the tillermen, who forced
the tongue of the cart to the ground,
checking its motion, one or more men
must have been killed. Fortunately
for all nothing more than severe
bruises were received.
The accident happened when with
in about 46 feet of the finish; time at
instant of accident was exactly is

The injured men were quickly given
medical attention, and it is believed
they will be all right in few days.
This was the only accident OF any

pants during the two days Of sport.

LABOR DAY is good thing. Any
day of this nature that brings the
people out and wakes the old town
up is benefit. A little recreation
and a little excitement now and then
helps the individual and helps the
town. People feel better afterwards.
and we all get hop, skip and jump
gait on US, which we do not drop at
once. We all need little more of
the light and airy phases in our gen.
eral composition, and celebration
like Labor Day helps US out. It's a
good thing to have good time now
and then, and it's better if whole
lot of people can have good time
altogether. All are better off. Let's

If THE Denver papers may be re-
lied upon for true reports of court
affairs man stands about as much
showifor justice in the Denver judi
cial mills of corruption as the pro-
verbal SNOWFALL has of keeping its
form in the hot country. 1t seems
that the question of right or wrong
has no place in the proceedings. 1t
is merely a matter of money, pull and
influence. We are willing to stand
the uncertainties of all future punish
ments il the Lord will just deliver US
from a trial by Denver judge. We

POINTERS.

There's lot of money wasted
in advertising, because mer-
chants are too economical with
their space. 1t is much easier
to waste money by using in
sufficient space than bv using
too much.
The reliability of an adver-
tisement should be measured by
the reputation of the advertiser.
If he does not lie in his ordi-
nary business and social. rela-
tions it is fair to suppose that
he does not lie in his advertis-
ing. 1t is matter of principal
and matter of business also.
Every statement that is made
in an advertisement ought to
be carefully weighed, and even
the appearance of untruth ex-
cluded.
A truthful statement by an
honest man in a good paper
will bring returns every time.
The best paper in which to
advertise is the one which pos
sesses the confidence of the
community in the his hest degree.
The high character of the
paper will throw a mantle of
credence over all the advertis-
ing in its columns. Ad-
vertisting.

"OUR interests are at bottom COM
mon. In the long run we go up and
down together. Yet more and more
it is evident that the state, and if
necessary the nation, has got to
possess the right of super vision and
control as regards the great corpora
tions which are its creatures; particu-
larly as regards the great business
combinations which derive a portion
of their Importance from the exist
ence of some monopolistic tendency"

Minneapolis.

FORTY thousand dollars for one

The Tug of War contest, command
ed as much attention as any one
event during either day. Four teams
participated in this contest. Coal
miners from Brookside: team from
Florence and two teams from Canon
City stone masons and carpenters.
The ruling by the committee was that
one team should pull each one of the
visiting teams. The stonemasons
pulled the Brookside team; the car
penters pulled the Florence team.
In each event the Canon teams won
out, the first by Ia inches, the second
by II inch.
This result pitted our local teams
against cash other for the champion
ship, and it proved to be a more
exciting event than the pull against
our outside visitors. In the pull the
stonemasons won out by one-half
inch. The stonemasons team was:
Peter Esser. Ernest Sell, II. Gourlev,
VIM. Harvey, Chas Logan, Chas Sell.
The prize was an elegant silver cup,
valued at $50 and solid silver badge
appropriately engraved for each in
dividual member of the team. The
badges were valued at $40.

created considerable enthusiasm over
the skillful manner in which "Old
Glory" was handled.

HER CONDITION CRITICAL.
Mrs. Carrie semmes, Who Attempted
Suicide, May Die.

Mrs. Carrie Semmes. who attempted sui
eide by hanging yesterday morning at her
home. corner of Bunker Hill Road and
Philadelphia Avenue, Brookland. is lying
at the Homeopathic Hospital in a criti-
cal condition. SHE has suffered greatly
from commissions, and symptoms of urea
mic poisoning are apparent. Prolonged
illness is the only known cause for her
attempt at self-destruction.
The husband of the woman, who keeps
a grocery in Brookland, was away from
home when she attempted to take her
life, shortly before the noon hour. Mrs.
Semmes had been extremely nervous dur
ing several days past, and it is thought
her mind had been temporarily affected
yesterday. She went to her room on the
upper floor of the house an hour after
breakfast, and remained there during the
forenoon. Her sister, Miss Sullivan, ard
a visitor at the house, Mrs Phillips, were
in the parIor on the first floor, but moth
ing was thought OF the absence from the
room of Mrs. Semmes- Shortly after II
O'Clock the two women heard heavy
fall, and went to the upper floor to in
vestigate. Miss Sullivan entered her sis
ter's room and discovered her lying on
the floor unconscious. Fastened partially
about her throat was a piece Of leather
strap, one end of which had been strung
cut in twain by the sharp edge of the
furniture. The strap was quickly loos-
e1ad and word was sent in haste for DR..
l. II Brooks. who resides near by. The
physician responded and rendered what
treatment was possible, pending the ar
rival of the ambulance, which had been
summoned by telephone. Mrs. Semmes
was then taken to the hospital.
1t was found on examination that the
woman had suffered but little from her
fall or the strap, but commissions, the re-
suit of nervousness and ureamic poison
ag, set in and may end fatally. Word
was sent to the husband OF the patient,
who called at the hospital last evening,
together with Miss Sullivan. Mr.. Semmes
was utterly unable to explain his wife's
act, beyond saying that she had been
sufferer for some time. The hospital ply
sicians last night could not say what the
outcome of her Illness will be. Mrs.
Semmes is forty-five years of age.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Advances TO Above 20 Cents
and Then Declines

CHICAGO, Jan. WHEAT was nervous.
Local traders who became imbued with
the idea that certain interests were work
ing on the long side, gave the market the
most of the sup,-o today. Above 79
cents, however, commission houses were
better sellers than buyers. In the last
hour the market turned decidedly weak
and sold l 1-2 cents off on liquidation ty
local traders. The news was generally
against any further advance at the mo-
ment. There was no cash business done
here, and the seaboard reported only two
loads taken for export. Today's futures
ranged for May 70 3-4G7S, closing at rs.
Corn was active and ruled higher. May
sold at 80 is on buying for the account
OF prominent local professional, but at
around this price the market met free
realizing sales from the floor traders who
have been working on the long side for
the past two or three weeks. Commission
houses were also moderate sellers. Local
stocks increased 645 600 bushels. Today
CARROTS were 5s4, with 10 estimated fo-
Tuesday. Shippers reported a poor cash
demand. Today's range was from 80 Is
to IS 1-sG3S 12,
Oats were active with heavy buying
from the outside, which advanced May
to % "a. Selling-,by local longs caused
a reaction to 25 Ia and the market closed
steady at Is 3-S bid. Cash market was
strong al the advance OF 1-4dI-2 over Sat-
urday. The visible supply increased $780,
600 bushels. Today's receipts were 800
cars with 315 for tomorrow.
There was good trade in provisions with
sharp bulge at the opening on general
commission house buying. The advance
brought out free offerings from longs, the
prominent local bull interest leading in
profit taking.
