John Coleman, the man who shot and
Killed Thomas McNutt, who died in the
ST Francis hospital in this city about
two weeks ago, was adjudged insane Mon
day and taken to the state insane asylum
thursday. Since the time of the killing
near Ashton Coleman has been almost
continually raving. While in the jail at
Wellington he was a very troublesome
prisoner and proved to be more than the
sheriff force could manage. He spent
entire nights singing and bowling so that
those who lived near the Jail could not
sleep. He tore his clothes, broke up the
furniture and manifested an ugly dis
position toward the jailer and his fellow
prisoners. He continually raved and made
himself unbearable and when the order
for his admission TO the asylum came,
the Wellington people lost no time in get
ting rid of him
He kept up his performance to the last.
As he was taken from the jail to the train
ne would sing wildly and then let out a
yell that would put Comanche Indian
TO shame. When on the train he sobered
down some but occasionally would let
the passengers know that he was around.

Now, ever since the stock gamblers
panic started in October, 1902, there
has been heavy pressure brought up
on the secretary of the treasury by the

tiers found a way to get rid of their
trust funds. With the heavy pressure
for funds to prevent financial crash,
it is not beyond the realm of posi-

COURTS OF EQUITY

Courts of equity have cut. very
wide swath in this country for the last
ten years. Courts of equity are estab-
lished to supply the defects of the
written law and adjudicate cases ac-
cording to reason and justice. But
justice in courts of equity depends
entirely upon the conception that the
judge has Of it. There is no written
law to guide him. His guide is his
own conscience and his own reason. In
the old law books that the editor read
when he was young man, it was al
ways pointed out that equity was al
ways according to the conscience of
the judge who presided and as that
conscience was larger or narrower, so
was the equity that he dispensed. For
that reason until recent years it was
always held that court would not
take equity jurisdiction where there
was a remedy at law. That safe rule
has been abandoned by the judges that
plutocracy has placed on the bench

The Financial Chronicle does not
seem to think that the slump in

in the revenues was all due to 'the

rests on Roosevelt, and declares most
positively that Roosevelt's interior

The fact that there is dullness In
trade, that the railroads are discharg-
ing men by the tens of thousands,
that the cattlemen are facing bank
ruptcy, that Shaw has emptied the
United States treasury into the cof-
fers Of the national banks and several
other things of the same nature has
happened is within the knowledge OF
all intelligent men, Most men stand
bewildered as they look out upon the
present conditions and wonder what
has caused such sudden stop in the
career of prosperity. 1t is with un-
speakable gratitude that they all turn
to Senator Hanna and smother him
with their thanks for telling them just
what has caused it. At Piqua, O., the
other day he made speech and told
us the reason why. He said:
Just now there is a lull in bust
ness and industries all over the
land, due to the slight uncertainty
as to the result of the election in
Ohio and elsewhere. If this remote
contingency has such depressing
effect upon the business of the
country, think what a quietus
would be put upon the industrial
relations of the nation if on the
morning of November 4 it should
be announced that Johnson had
captured the Ohio legislature.
Upon the election of Hanna, depends
the fate of this nation. 1t is Hanna.
and Hanna alone, who can save the
world from destruction. Think on
what a slender thread hangs the for :
tunes, the homes, and the future hopes
of millions of people. In such an
impending catastrophe, The Indepen-
dent hardly knows what to advise.
Perhaps we had all better take to the
churches and spend every moment
from now until the polls close on the
Sd of November earnestly praying that
the world may be spared from the
coming cataclysm that will hurl US
all into eternal ruin If Hanna is not
elected. a

to increase it's arrogance and dicta-

Dor unions caused extensive cOntrac-
ton of building and other operations
which in turn brought about a great
reduction in the consumption of iron

break in that market, the cut in the
steel dividend and the collapse of steel
stocks, which in turn has Influenced
all markets adversely, etc.
The Financial Chronicle has been a
great boomer of Mark Hanna when
ever he appeared in politics. Mark

lowed the practice of the old polite

out on campaign they were accus-
toned to all get together, hold a con-
sultation and all agree to tell the
same lie.

WHAT A VOTE WORTH?

%SS&
WHAT IsA VOTE WORTH?
Some farmers out in Kearney coun-
ty last year thought that there was
nothing to vote for, so they stayed in
the gelds and husked corn. There
were better times than there had been
in the years of drouth and hot winds
and they were told by the papers that
the better times were all on account
OF the election of Mckinley and the
defeat of Bryan They took a rest
from politics. But the corporations
never take rest and never cease
their activities. They took advantage
Of the sleeping farmers and elected
legislature after their own heart and
proceeded to pass laws that would ex-
empt the railroads from paying their
share of the taxes and to enable them
to continue their combinations with
the elevators SO as to get a rake-off
from all the grain shipped out of the
state to the amount of or 5 cents a
bushel. They passed the new revenue
law. They appropriated $500, 900 more
money than the taxes could produce,
and they fixed up an elevator law to
suit themselves. The effect of that
law is told in special dispatch to
the Bee, which is as follows:
"Minden, Neb., Aug. 29.-(Spe-
cial.)-The farmers elevator has
been completed and has been do
ing business the past few days.
About 1900 bushels of grain has
been purchased and run through
the house and is ready for ship
ment. Requisition was made for
car and the railroad company
(B. e Nd while it set the car out
on a side track, refused to run
it to the elevator, which is on a
side track used by two other ele-
yators and ON which the stock
yards are located. The car has
been accepted where it stands and
the farmers will load the grain
from the elevator into wagons and
shovel it from the wagons into the
car. This is the first shipment
to be made and the action of the
railroad company is censured by
nearly every citizen"
The result of staying in the corn
fields was that it will, on the average,
cost every farmer who did it $2.25 in
increased taxation as we'll as all the
rest of us, for that days corn husk-
ing. Besides that, the elevator COM
bine will get it's rake-off on every
bushel of grain and the final cost of
that days corn husking will mount up
to an amount that will make every
man who pays taxes groan when he
walks up to the captains Office to set
tie the demands that will be made
upon him by increased taxation. The
farmer will save more money by talk
ing half day off to vote than he will
make in any other two days of the
year. To get even, the price of vote
this year should not be less than SIS.
