Murder Mystery at Adalr.

1t has been impossible to solve the
mystery of the murder of w. D.
Schneck, who was found near the
front gate of his home in Adair Satur-
day morning. His umbrella was found
two blocks from the body, and the
body was covered with mud. Another
thing that leads to the murder theory
is that when he left his home he had
several dollars, and when found had
not cent in his pocket.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
The People Need Not Apply.

Secretary Shaw is being deluged
with letters asking for small loans
from the national treasury to pay
mortgages and rents, to keep children
in school, and for innumerable other
purely personal purposes.
The secretary's obliging liberality
10 Wall street and his open offer of
loan to banks all over the country
have evidently been accepted by many
people as matter Of principle rather
than of mere policy.
1t Is true Secretary Shaw s new poll
cy originated in the old Populist de-
mand for treasury loans direct to the
people.
Since he has conceded the correct
ness of the principle, it is not unnat-
nral that the people should expectim-
partial and consistent application Of
it. Right here is where they will
meet with disap pointment.
It is hard for the people to under
stand why stocks, bonds and other Sc
curities are not as good collateral
when offered by individuals as when
offered by banks.
They cannot see why a man who
wants money to pay off a mortgage or
meet his rent or keep child in school
is not as worthy of consideration in
the treasury department as is the
banker who wants the same money tC
loan out to the same man for the
same purpose at interest. And who
can see the justice of the distinction?
Whether the loan is made to the in
dividual directly or to the individual
indirectly through the banker, it is
the individual that ultimately Dor
rows, and the security he gives to the
banker is, in effect, the only security
the banker gives to the treasury.
For all the obligations that a bank
holds are at the last reduction, indi-
vidual obligations. All its bonds,
stocks and Sc curities of wha tever sort
have no value except that based on
individual thrift.
So il the individual is safe risk for
the bank, he is safe risk for the
treasury. Unfortunately, there are
other considerations that have had
great weight.
Treasury loans direct to the people
would strip the banks of the power to
control the money supply and to fix
and draw interest.
This is why, when the Farmers AL
Nance demanded direct loans from tho
treasury, Offering stored crops as Sc.
curity, the bankers of the country, in
one mighty chorus, proclaimed it the
most dangerous proposition ever made
Now the people are borrowing treas.
ury money, but through process that
compels them to pay interest on it to
the banks, and no howl at all goes up.
The bankers who are permitted to
draw from the treasury money belong
to the people, and then loan it out to
the people at interest, have conceded
that, with sufficient safeguards, a
treasury loan is good thing.
What the people of this country
must think of a process that forces
them to pay interest to banks for the
use of their own money is a different
question st. Paul Daily News.

II is said that the great ape of Siam
Is in great request among the Siamese
merchants as cashiers in their count
ing houses. Vast quantities OF base
coins are known TO be in circulation in
Siam. and no living human can dis
criminate between the good and bad
coinage with as much accuracy as
these apes. These monkey cashiers
possess the faculty of distinguishing
the rude Siamese counterfeits in such
an extraordinary degree that no train
ed banker can compete with them in
their unique avocatlon.
In plying his trade the ape cashier
meditatively puts each coin presented
to him In his mouth and tests 1t with
grave deliberation. From two to five
seconds is all the time this intelligent
animal requires in making up his de-
cision. If the coin is all right 1t Is
carefully deposited in the proper recep-
tacle; II base, it is thrown violently to
the floor, while the coin tester makes
known his displeasure at being pre-
sented with the counterfeit by giving
vent to much angry chatter.

sublimate in mistake for some acid
cooling powder. He Immediately dis
covered his mistake and knew that
death must shortly ensue unless he in

chalk.
Timid men would have torn at the
bell, reused all the family and sent for
a stomach pump. Emmett called no
one, made no noise. but, stealing down
stairs and unlocking the front door,
went into the stable, scraped some
chalk which he knew to be there and
took sufficient doses Of it to neutralize
the poison.

InaestructibiIlty of Cedar.

The resistance of cedar wood to de
cay has long been famous, and cedar
fenceposts often last for generations
A remarkable instance Of the indie
structibility Of cedar has been noted
in the state Of Washington, where a
forest of hemlocks near Acme has
grown up over an ancient buried forest
of cedars. The trunks of cedar, al
though lying in moist soil, have been
almost perfectly preserved for at least
$50 years, the length of time that the
rings Of growth show the hemlOcks to
have been growing above their fallen
predecessors.
