JUNCTION CITY.-(Special.) Chas
H. Willes, farmer, near Skiddy, Nor.
ris county, left Junction City about II
o'clock Tuesday night in his buggy to
drive home. Late in the night the
horse arrived at the home, but Mr..
Willes was missing. Junction City ALL
thorities were notified and a search
for the man was made.
On the Smoky Hill river bridge
south Of town Willes' cane was found.
1t was broken and split. On the han.
die there was bloodstain and 1t is
evident that the cane had been used
as a club. There was heavy frost
on the floor Of the bridge and the
tracks there in the morning indicated
that there had been a scuffle.
Several parties of men have been
dragging the river near the bridge,
but no trace Of the man can be found.
When Willes left town he had con.
siderable money with him, and the
general belief here is that he has been
the victim Of highwaymen. In the ear.
ly '90s Willes was associated with the
late Congressman Davis, of this dis
trict, in the newspaper business here.2

No Need of Financial Changes.

The Baltimore Sun had a recent in
terview with Congressman Hepburn,
which shows that he has no idea there
will be am financial legislation next
winter sees no need of any.
1.-The fact he said, ''there is no
scarcity of currency. The stock of
money in this country amounts to $2,.
G95, 100000 of which 1925, 000, 900 is
gold. By way of contrast recall that
| in 1861 the total stock of money
amounted to only 3407, 100000, of
which but 5000, 900, 600 was gold,
while the rest was seriously depreciat.
ed paper. None of our present great
stock of money is depreciating nor in
any danger of depreciation. In ad.
dition to this the volume of credit
money is immense. The idea that
there is great draft on New York
for money to move crops is not we'll
founded The producers of the west
have plenty of money for their pur-
pose, and large surplus in the banks
in Chicago and New York, where they
can draw some interest from it. Much
of the stock moving is on credit
money. The only danger is q great
drain of the banks in the east would
be if the producers of the west should
become distrustful and Withdraw
their money rapidly through fear Of
losing it, Then there might be a ser.
ious situation. but it is not thing
likely to occur.
"To illustrate how credit takes the
place of money in the moving OF
crops during a prosperous period like
the present, Friday is shipping day
in my town. The farmers then as.
semble to ship their products to mar
ket. Last Friday farmer came into
the bank for accommodation. He had
no money and wanted some for the
shipping of his stock. With an inven.
tory of his stock, the bank readily
took his personal note as a deposit,
against which he could draw checks,

bill of lading and sent through the
bank to bank in New York, where
the stock was to be shipped. This is
a SIS, 900 transaction, yet there was
not more than 800 in actual money
withdrawn from the bank. The farm.
eI had Sl5. 900 of credit in the little
home bank and the bank had like
credit in New York. where the actual
money remained.
On the subject of the Cuban tariff
legislation at the extra session. Mr..
Hepburn said he thought there could
be little doubt of the necessary meas
ure being passed.
"This measure" he said, "has
been so earnestly urged by the admin
istration the republicans will probab-
ly all feel that they should support it,
and | do not see how the democrats
can afford to oppose bill which
makes reduction in the tariff, even
if confined to our dealings with Cuba.
In the house there is not apt to be-
much opportunity for discussion of
the general tariff question during tho
consideration of this measure.

CORNER STONE LAYING
WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT SATURDAY
New Winnesheik County Court House
Corner Stone Will Be Laid Saturday
Morning of this Week, with
Address by Hon. Sidney
A. Foster.

The corner stone for the new court
house for Winnesheik county arrived
last Saturday, and it has been decided
TO hold the ceremonies of laying the
same this week Saturday, August 22d,
at eleven o'clock.
The committee have been very for
tunate in their efforts to secure a
good speaker, in that Hon. Sidney A.
Foster, of Des Moines, has consented
TO deliver the oration. Mr.. Foster is
known over Iowa and the west as Que
of our best platform speakers, and has
reputation everywhere for always
deli ghting his audiences with his ever
ready wit and good common sense, SO
| that he is hailed wherever he is known
with pleasure. He has been prominent
in state matters for many years, and
was candidate for the nomination
for Governor on the republican ticket
against Gov. Cummins two years ago.
He is the originator of the expression
I'm all that is good Iowa affords the
BEST" and is in every sense typical
Iowa orator He will without ques-
tion please his hearers.
No doubt there will be large crowd
in Decorah on Saturday. The people
nave completed their harvest and are
entitled to good days rest. and are
anxious to see the progress of the
work on their county building. The
first story or basement wall is finished
the steel structure for the basement is
in, the first concrete floor has been
laid, the lower vaults constructed,
and the building was never in better
condition for inspection of the work
than at present. Decorah will be
glad to entertain the people of the
county on this occasion, and are pro-
viding program that will please
them. AT this time the entire pro-
gram has not been arranged, but will
consist of short speeches, music, etc.,
and the address of Hon. Sid. Foster
will be worth coming many miles to
hear. We hope that the people of the
county will embrace this opportunity
to spend day in the county seat, see
the work on their new building, and
enjoy vacation from the burdensome
duties of everyday life.
