w. II. Lesh arrived Thursday for
a brief VISIT with old friends. His jew
elry establishment was located in the
Dekum building when the great fire
occurred in the structure on the Sd OF
last March. His fittings and furnish
ings were more or less damaged ny
water, but the stock was OF such char
acter that it was not injured. Mr.
Lesh has since been doing business In
another location, but next Monday he
expects to again occupy his old quar-
tiers. He returns to Portland Sunday.
"A horse race was one of the diver
sions Of Thursday. Oscar Deatly has a
horse which is an old campaigner and
many of his friends backed him In a
short race against the Cook mare, an
animal which ran several races on the
Kiger track last summer. The race
took place near town on the road
leading to the I. o. o. F. cemetery. In
this event the mare proved to be the
feeter animal, but there Is talk OF
another trial.

Good Money.
From the Cleveland Leader.


Is it not possible that the stability of the
currency Of the United States has proved
saving force during the recent depression
in Wall street? Heretofore any such Hqui-
dation as has taken place within the past
six months would probably have precipi-
tated financial disaster. It is generally be-
lieved that there would not have been such
a disastrous panic in 1893 and 1894 had the
currency then been upon a stable basis It
was the uncertainty as to the value Of
money which caused most OF the trouble.
Yet within recent months there has been a
constant shrinkage in the value Of stocks,
due to liquidation, and 1t has been unat-
tended by severe shock. Only few fall
ures have resulted and those are attributed
in the main to speculation. Money rules In
the stock market absolutely, and II 1t is
good money Its rule Is attended by less
danger than It would be II the money were
Of unstable value What money can do to
avert a panic was proved when the Bank
of England stepped in after the failure of
the Earrings in 1890. Thirty-seven millions
of securities were taken up and held until
tho trouble had passed. Money prevented
a panic in Germany in the late nineties
when terrible depression fell upon the
money saved London year or two later
after the collapse of the South African
mining shares. The men who control Wall
street appear to have firm grip upon the
situation and there is every reason to be-
lieve they will prevent disaster following
the recent slump in stocks. They have a
vital interest in doing that very thing.

GOLDENBERG'S.


surmounted by huge revolving windmill
whirling necessarily day and night, became
with its Illuminated windows a beacon ana
a landmark for citizens Of Washington.
This man of gigantic ideas and wide, gen
erous mind, was the. same who In 1885.
when the triennial conclave was held IN
San Francisco undertook to carry across
the continent fresh milk and dairy products
and supply the knights Templar at their
encampment; and he did 1t. He used only
natures process Of refrigeration.
Again in 1887, when a great storm cut on
the milk supply of New York. he helped re-
lieve the famine with milk from this Sec
ton. He overcame every apparently In
surmountable difficulty with rare genius
and indomitable tenacity of purpose. Hav-
ing the will, he always found the way.
Charitable to an extreme and generous to
a fault, as extravagant in his relaxatons
as he was energetic in his work. he met the
constantly recurring difficulties and obSta-
cles in his path, at times with carefully re-
served strength and guarded abstention in
order to bring his utmost force to bear him
onward to success and triumph. But, alas,
1t began to be noticed that these efforts
became fewer and feebler, and the results
proportional. He oftener had recourse to
stimulation and the incubus thicker and
heavier, gathered closer and closer around
him, promising soon to envelop and over
whelm him utterly.
He got heavily in debt He made heroic
efforts to meet the demands Of the holders
Of his mortgages. Just when man needs
his brains most, that appears the time ne
puts an enemy into his mouth to steal them
away.
Fifteen years of incessant hard and con-
tinuous work and no rest Is enough to
break down any man. Ward needed a
rest; the machinery needed oiling; but the
artificial stimulus he unluckily employed
presented glittering fancies.
The time came One bright day q Bright
wood electric car was confronted at the
foot Of a steep declivity by well-dressed
ofo In no
facing the conductor. The gong was sound
ed brakes were applied, the car slowed
down, but all in vain, not soon enough
The passengers saw the man struck vio-
lently, whirled around and sent beneath the
wheels of the car. The coroner's inquest
pronounced 1t an accident, with no one to
blame.
Opinions were divided. but the general
conclusion was that poor Frank Ward had
taken that way to end his existence. Ward
lived, had his being and died surrounded
by strong friends. who also stood around
his grave and still hold q soft. warm spot
In their hearts for him.

The first use Ward made Of his liberty on
his acquittal was to call upon. or write to-
the Adlers and offer to adopt and provide
for all who were dependent for support on
his unfortunate victim. He proposed to

make abundant provision for the family

generous, Christian offer was kindly

warm welcome from many friends in
this town. Remaining over Sunday
Bro. Lively preached for us at noon

night he also delivered an interesting

late Bro. Lively has branched out in
the newspaper business considerably,
being the proprietor of the Marshall

him in the notion to buy the fourth
newspaper. True to his name. Bro.
Lively is a hustler, but he generally
does things without making much

out in Texas recognize the worth OF
the man, and what he does and says
goes out that way.

Death of AIRS. A. e. c, Dean.
Fairmount, La--Jan. 20, 1908.

Editor Co!fax Chronicle:
Allow me space In your paper to
say a few words in contradiction Of
reports published i'm the Shreveport
Times and n. O. Times Democrat, as
to the death of Mrs. A. Il. G. Dean.
This venerable lady did not perth
in the flames. She did not burn to
death. saw her Il few minutes after
the accident, and told her children
and grandchildren that the burn was
not serious enough to cause death.
but that owing to her extreme old
age and enfeebled condition death
would probably ensue from shock
and excitement. The reports are err
roneous and misleading. and the pub
lie might infer that Mrs. Dean was
neglected by her son. Mr.. A. A. Dean
and his wife and children, who from
my personal knowledge have tenderly
cared for their mother and grand
mother in her declining years. No
trouble or expense was spared for
years past to alleviate her suffering
and to make her as comfortable and
happy as possible. Mr.. Dean and his
estimable wife have nobly followed
the precepts of the Fourth Command
ment. Yours respectfully,
WEBSTER SMITH, NJ. ID.
