Boy Drowned at NeOshO Falls.

The news came to town Saturday of
the drowning of Floy Saferite at Neo-
sho Falls on last Wednesday. He
was i'm bathing with some of his friends
and it is supposed got into water too
deep for him and was taken with
cramps. All efforts to find the body
failed at the time and it was given up,
but Saturday an employe of the
Cement Plant was fishing on the river
about three miles above Humboldt
and discovered the body in the river.
The alarm was given and the body
rescued from the water.
The point where the body was taken
from the water is twenty miles below
Neosho Falls. The river has been
out of its banks for some days and
this accounts for it being washed so
far. The remains were easily recog-
nized and we're sent back to Neosho
Falls today for burial.
Mr.. Saferite, the father of the boy
is an engineer at d. w. Finney slmill
at Neosho Falls and the family is
well known there.

FRED BAYER ARRESTED
ON CHARGE OF LARCENY
Former Chief Clerk of County Au-
ditOr Said to Have Issued
False Checks.

Fred w. Bayer, for the past four years
chief clerk for County Auditor Johnson,
was last night arrested on the charge Of
petty larceny. The complaint was sworn
cut by M. A. Gschida, Lafond and Arun-
del. Bayer is charged with Issuing false
checks for amounts ranging from $5 to SIS
So far four checks are known to have
been issued, one for IS, one for $40 one for
SIS and one for s25. All are on different
people
The charge is made petty larceny be-
cause none Of the checks go above the
petty limit Only one complaint has been
sworn out and the others cannot be
punched so as to make the offense grand
larceny.
A warrant was sworn out in the county
attorneys Office yesterday afternoon, just
two hours after Bayer had drawn his
salary for the past month as chief clerk
The warrant was handed to the Rondo
police, and Bayer was brought to the
Rondo station shortly after o'clock He
telephoned for Judge Hire, who came to
the station to see him. He was released
on the order Of the judge to appear in
court today.
Bayer resides at 523 Edmund street
County Auditor johnson accepted his res
ignation as chief clerk several days ago,
but it is not known whether the issuance
of the checks was cause or not.

to- cost him a denomination.
Mr.. Bryan in his publication Of to-
morrow will say:
IF Mr.. Roosevelt really intends to
wage a serious fight against the trust
system he will have need for all the
strenuousity he can summon. He will DC
discouraged by party leaders and threat
ened by men of high influence in business
and political circles. 1t is probable also
that serious fight against the trusts by
Mr.. Roosevelt would result in his defeat
for the Republican nomination, but there
are things worse than political defeat
and there are things better than political
victory.
The people are feeling the exactions Of
the trusts and if Mr.. Roosevelt shall
make a determined effort to protect the
people from the evils Of the trust sys-
TEN and to punish the wealthy and in
huential law breakers, even though he
is defeated in the Republican convention
he will retire from office honored and
respected for patriotic effort shown in a
warfare against a mighty evil.

Democrats voted for the previous ques-
ton, but voted with their colleagues on
a motion to recommit with instructions to
strike out the provision relative to the
recoinage of silver dollars. The confer
ence reports on the omnibus public build
ing and fortiIcations appropriation bills
were adopted and the house adjourned
until Monday.
The text of the subsidiary coinage bill
is as follows:
THAT the secretary of the treasury is
hereby authorized to coin silver bullion
in the treasury, purchased under the act
of July IA, 1880, into such denomina tions
of subsidiary silver coin as he may deem
necessary to meet public requirements
and thereafter, as public necessities may
demand, to recoin silver dollars into sub
sidiary coin, and so much of any act as
fixes limit to the aggregate of subsid-
lay silver coin outstanding and so much
of any act as directs the coinage of any
portion of the bullion purchased under
the act Of July Ia, 1880, into standard
silver dollars, is hereby repealed
Resembling Leaves of Absence.
Representative Payne On. ", the floor
leader of the majority, today introduced
resolution to rescind all leaves of alb
sence heretofore granted. The resolu-
ticn was referred to the committee on
rules, and it is understood will be re-
ported Immediately The majority lead
ers have decided that the revocation Of all
leaves of absence is necessary for the
transaction of business during the clos
ing weeks of the session.
For some time the number of leaves
has been very large, owing to the fact
that many members are at home looking
after their political affairs. 1t is pointed
out that under the present law the ser
geant-at-arms has authority to withhold
the pay of members absent without

TRY NEW PLAN
TO SETTLE STRIKE
Civic Federation Will Appeal to
Large stockholders to Arbi-
trate Difficulties.

NEW YORK, May 29.-The executive
committee of the Civic Federation has
begun to put into effect new plan to
induce the operators to arbitrate the
strike with the anthracite miners. A
member Of the Civic Federation said to-
night:
''As soon as Senator Hanna returns
to Washington we will communicate with
him, with a view to his issuing a call
for a meeting of the executive commit
tee Of the Civic Federation on general
principles, to be held in this city. At
the meeting number Of other matters
viii be taken up, including strikes which
have been settled and averted
"TLe members of the federation are no
longer personally asking the presidents
Of the coal carrying roads to consent to
arbitration. They are endeavoring to
reach the largest of the stockholders in
stead, and through them the railroad
presidents. So far they have been fair
ly successful with the stockholders AS
soon as we have majority of the larger
stockholders with US, the meeting win

that before he returns it VIII be definitely

Members of the delegation, with whom
Heatwole has been talking, are beginning

to do with the plans Of Heatwole to quit

however, is not accepted entirely by the
