LIBERTY SHORT LIVED.
General Turlenden Said to Have Got
 $15o,o ,ooo-Again Arrested.

Chicago, September 26.-With the dis missal of the old complaint charging for gerry of stock certificates in Prussia, General Terlenden who is being held for extradition proceedings was free for a few moments today
 Before he could leave the court house, however the defendant was again taken into custody by United States Marshal St. Clair and served with new war rant. This resulted in a delay of the hearing, which, at the request of the defendants lawyers, was continued until October 16 The new compliant which is based on evidence received recently from Berlin, is more explicit In it's charges than the former one. It is sworn to by Dr. Walter Weaver, Ger man consul in Chicago.
 These proofs alone place the amount of Terlendens alleged fraudulent gains at about 6O0,OOO marks or $15O.0OO.

SIX KILLED IN
 OIL EXPLOSION
Spark from a Workman'S ChiseI WreCkS an Im-
 menSe Tank

New York. September 26-Six men, and possibly seven, are dead and seven in- jured by an explosion today of an oil tank of the Essex and Hudson Gas Com pany at Newark, N. J. The known dead are:
 LAWRENCE KIRCH.
 WILLIAM MEYER.
 OTTO NEWMAN.
 ALFRED SNYDER.
 NICHOLAS MILLER.
 UNIDENTIFIED MAN.
 Many witnesses say there is body in the river, as they saw it hurled high in the air and thrown in that direction.
 The tank which exploded was one of a number of immense steel reservoirs which was undergoing its periodical cleaning. it having been emptied of its oil in the morning. The tank was twenty feet deep and Kirch and Meyer entered through the manhole first without taking the precaution of having ropes tied about lIeLl. InSS were llnlncuihtSiJ by the fumes. Foreman Newman saw this and started down after them after shout ing a warning to the other workmen in the yard He, too, collapsed in the tank.
 Nicholas Miller, a grocer nearby, had once been foreman of the. works. He was in the yards and at once assumed charge of the rescue. Summoning others the men began with chisels to cut large ring in the tank. It is supposed one of the chisels, in striking the steel, caused the emission of a spark for in- stantly there was an explosion like that of a cannon and then sheet of flame
 Ten men were on the top of the tank at the time. They were swept away in all directions. Miller, Snyder, the uni identified man and the one supposed to be in the river seem to have borne the brunt of the terrific shock. The three first mentioned were not badly mangled, but not a bone in their frames was left unbroken, says the county physician, this fact being due to their being blown many feet into the air and the force with which they struck the ground. The tank was rent intwain and after all was over the bodies of the three in it were taken out.

COTTON PRICES DECLINE. Three Hundred Bales Will Reach the
 Congresses This Week.

The cotton received at the Birming- ham congresses is classified as either good middling, strict middling or mid ding, no low middling or strict low mid ding to speak of having made it's ap- pearance.
 The future market was upward yester- day but prices for spot cotton declined for the reason, it was said that quota tions obtaining earlier in the week were not justified by the present demand. Yes terdays prices in Birmingham were 71a for good middling, 72s for strict mid ding and Fl for middling few days ago good middling brought Sc.
 The compress receipts this week will aggregate about 300 bales. Most of the cotton comes from interior Alabama points, but few bales were received from Mississippi

NEWSPAPERS NOT TO BLAME. Nothing Written About MT. Mckinley Caused Assassination, Says Bryan.

Lincoln, Neb., September 26-W. J. Bryan is opposed to any limitation upon the freedom of speech, which he says has been suggested as cure for anarchy.
 MT. Bryan believes the evils of re- striction are greater than the evils of freedom and further declares the death of President Mckinley cannot be traced to anything said or written against him. The warfare he says, must be against anarchy, not against freedom of speech. Anarchy, he insists, is a European prod uct and thrives most where there Is the least freedom of speech and of the press.

$160.07. In addition to this he has
10 tons of pulp and all the tops

the total cash value of this one acre

it will be seen that the by-products
represent considerable value. An
other interesting item in relation to
Mr.. Burrell's prize acre is that it
made $40 pounds of refined sugar.
This at the current price of 5 cents
per pound is the handsome sum of
$575.50 as the value of the finished

The arrest and return of j. B.
Dace, who forged check of $120 on
the Bank of Holly, is warning to
anyone who has an idea such work is
an easy way to secure money. The
general public is not aware Of
the fact that there is complete or
ganization of the banks to protect
themselves against robbery and forg-
cry, and the banks who belong to
this organization never quit on case
until the criminal is secured. The
First National Bank of Lamar is a
member of this organization. Mr..
Gould, who is president of the Bank
of Holly and cashier of the First
National Bank, took this matter up,
and although the forger went to
numerous places in Missouri and
Illinois, he was traced from place to
place and finally arrested at Edna,
Missouri. Under ordinary circum
stances he would not haYe been ar
rested. Such complete system as
above mentioned is of great benefit
not only to the banks themselves,
but also assures their depositors
reliable means of protection.
