CARROLT0N CITIZENS
CAUGHT BY COLLAPSE
Money by Failure of St.
Louis Firms

According to the Carrollton papers.
citizens of that county and Of Miner
va got caught in the collapse Of the
Cleage Commission company. Of st.
Louis The Republican says:
"The firm dealt largely in futures,
and while attempting to manipulate
the corn market was caught in the
squeeze" and compelled to suspend
business. 1t may be surprise to
people to know that quite number
of Carroll county citizens were deal
ing with the firm, and among them
were several Carrollton citizens The
money they invested with the firm
will probably all be lost as 1t is stated
that the firm will not be able to pay
five cents on the dollar.
IL is estimated that the losses OF
Carrollton citizens will aggregate ST.
900, and Augusta spectators lost
more than that amount while Miner
va citizens. who were anxious to get
rich p. d. q. are out about $4,000.

Too Much Conflict OF
Opinion.

(News Democrat Leased Wire Service.)
Washington, Dec. 26.-There will be
no currency bill passed by congress
at the present session, said Secretary
