WHERE He WAS. HID.

When Charley. Rieckhoff jumped
through second story window at
the slade week ago Sunday night
and in few mindtes disappeared as
If the earth had swallowed him up,
those who were searching for him
could not even conjecture where b g
hao concealed himshelf. The puzzl O.
was solved last Thursday when the
lid of the sunken box that contains
the gasoline tank at the st. Johns
Elevator was raised and blood stains
were found on the tank and the
sides of the box. At first it was q
mystery how the blood stains came
to be there, but then someone
remembered the mysterious disap-
pearance of the demented man,
and both mysteries we're explained.
Rieckhof had gone in that direc-
ton, and seeing the lid Of the sunken
box and being familiar with the
manner in which gasoline tanks are
generally arranged at elevators, he
knew that the box would afford an
excellent hiding place, so he lifted
the lid and jumped in and pulled
the lid down. Here. he must have
remained for nearly two hours shell
terd from the chilly wind, while
those who were searching for him
passed and repassed the sunken box
without taking any notice of it. By
raising the lid a bit he could zee the
searchers without being seen and
when they had given up looking
for him around the elevators he
crawled out and made is way back
to the clubhouse of the hotel, where
he was found.
o.: No word has been received as to
Mr.. Rieckhoff's condition since he
was taken to the sanitarium near
Milwaukee. The presumption is,
however: that be is better, else. he
would not have survived this long.
In case this improvement physically
will very likely BE- followed by i'm
provement mentally and in time the
cloud that has obscureu his mind
may pass away entirely. If the best
of care and treatment and the earnest
prayer of his friends avail anything,
he will be speedily cured.-D-mo-
crat Adrian.

, Brooklyn Eagle, ind. dem.: Bryan
does not know that he is alive any
better than he knows that the hand
Of time cannot be turned back.
What he fears is not that the country
will revert to conditions existing
while Cleveland was in power, but
that the democratic party will
resign itself to the logic Of events
and abandon the fallacies with
which Bryan's name is go insepara-
bly, associated. What he knows as
we'll as he knows that he twice ran
for the presidency is that tho aban-
'don1aent Of these fallacies means

gain and little to lose, whole the
party has everything to lose and
nothing to gain at his hands. Every
issue of the Commoner contains q
never-surrender announcement, and
it's editor seems to be confident of
the outcome. That puts it up to-,
the party. There was something
heroic about the Nebraskan at
Chicago with his impassioned voice,
his flowing periods and his flaming
cross of gold. The flames spluttered
rather than roared at Kansas City
the gold was furnished, but he still
survived as a sort of idol. To the
next convention he will carry the
stigma Of the doubly defeated, a
bider for the final humiliation Of
rejection where he was twice
triumphant. The bid will be &C

IL Is QulC0 prODaUAo CAaV LILO
majority of the Democratic national
committee men are opposed, at pre-
sent, to the proposition to nominate
/ Mr.. Cleveland for a third term.
There is, however, no significance
in this fact. What ia important and
significant >is that even a minority
should favor the ex-President's
candidate and that editors, politi-
clans and representatives men OF
affairs in every section of the
country should be eargerly and
alphabetically discussing the
suggestion.
After all, the question is quite
simple. The Democrats must
nominate either a Bryan man. a
neutral or a Cleveland man. If they
want Cleveland man-that is to
say, a conservative Democrat who
is not very different from >Republi-
can of advanced tariff-revision
views, there is no reason for taking
less distinguished and tried candi'
date than Mr.. Cleveland himself.
To be sure the .ex-President would
not be Harmony" candidate, but
do the Democrats need such a candi
date Would he bring them eastern
support, the vote of the doubtful
northern statesi
But would Mr.. Cleveland permit
his friends or earnest supporters to
present his name to the next con-
vention2 Mr.. Villas declares that
Cleveland is not q candidate, and
that no contingency is at present
conceivable which might lead to bis
becoming one. This, however, is
not the impression produced by
Mr.. Cleveland's own latest express
sion on tie subject. Writing to a
friendly Wisconsin correspondent,
he says in answer on direct ques-
ton as to his attitude: II can say
no more than to assure you that at
no time since the close of my last
administrator have I been DESTROYS
of carrying the Democratic banner
for the fourth time in a presidential
contest.
The words are "well chosen, if
Mr.. Cleveland does not wish to
commit himself at this stage of the
proceedings. They certainly do not
convey an irrevocable decision to
decline a nomination. Mr.. Cleve-
land may not be ''desirous'' of
carrying the banner, but would he
respond to summons in the name
of party obligation and party well
fare? Would he subordinate his
personal preference and inclinations
to the possible success of his princi-
pies?
His words do not imply that he
would, but neither do they imply
that he would not. In short, his

Last summer, when the big pack
ers forced up the prices of meats OF
all kinds, they explained that the
advance was due to scarcity OF
cattle conseq upon the short
corn crop of the year previous
This explanation was supported by
reports from the agricultural de
partment at Washington, and served
to mollify consumers to some ex-
tent, Notwithstanding denials OF
scarcity from some of the cattle
raising sections. The prices Of meats
went 80 high that consumer refused
to follow them, and then there was
q falling off to more reasonable
level. During the past winter price
of beef dropped, until beef, was
lower than pork, which has been
high in price throughout the year,
bacon ranging in the neighborhood
of 20 cents and ham from ~ 1-2 to
Is cents.
r The stifening in prices this year,
on the approach Of summer, is not
endorsed by reports from Washing
ton. On the contrary, Assistant
Secretary Bingham of the Depart
ment of Agriculture declares that
.'there is no shortage of cattle in
the country, and 80 far as indications
point, there is not likely to be. "
He is still more emphatic in regard
to the price charged for meats,
saying:
So far as the investigation of the
Agricultural Department go there
is no reason for the recent advance
in the price of beef. The price at
present charged by wholesalers and
retailers is altogether out of pro.
portion to the supply Of cattle.
Y There promises to be however, in
the near future, small decrease in
the number of corn fed cattle, but
this will be 80 small matter that it
\ should have no effect whatever on
the general results.
When competition is smothered by
com bination, supply and demand
are no longer relative factors in the
establishment of price. The con-
sumner is made to pay in accordance
Il with the dictate Of fnancier who
L have an eye single for dividends
on watered stock. There is no
shortage in the number of cattle
Il in the west, but there is a hunger
for profit among those who control
Il the market for meats. Hence the
prices go up without regard for the
volume of the supply.
There is no help for consumers
under such conditions except in
/ iabstention. SO long as the demand
h continues, the manipulators of the
4 market will keep prices at a high
4 level. Consumers should therefore
reduce their rations Of meat, and
substitute therefore the fresh
vegetables which are now rapidly
