An Object Lesson.

An UDIeCl Lesson.
In the items of Happenings in Iowa
of August 26th, is the account of the
fraudulent OF forged paper found in
the First National Bank of Grinnell
to the amount of 100000, given by
the PLAIN DEALER. The Fowler bill
which has republican approval and
may be passed during the short ses-
sion of congress unless the democrats
in the senate can talk it to death,
would make it possible for dishonest
bankers to have its assets as worth
less as the fraudulent notes found in
theGrinnell bank. That bill author
ICES banks to issue paper promises
against its assets as security for their
redemption. These may be forged
paper, or the bonds Of some wildcat
enterprise equally worthless. 1t pro-
vides further, that the revenues OF the
government may be deposited with
the banks instead of turned into the
treasury of the United States where
1T belongs. Another of its abomina-
tionS is the coinage of the silver dol
lars in the treasury for the redemp-
tion of silver certificates, into frac-
tional currency, thus destroying its
legal tender quality and compelling
the retirement of the silver certifi-
cate. These certificates are not a
legal tender, but as long as they re-
main as they are, with silver dollars
for their redemption, the man who
has them can hardly be driven into a
corner and sacrificed at the greed of
the unscrupulous spectators in legal
tender money.
Banks under this bill are not to is
sue currency in denominations Of less
than ten dollars, and these would not
be legal tender for the payment Of
debt or taxes Thus the laboring man,
the merchant, the mechanic and the
small dealer whose transactions with
each patron amounts to less than ten
dollars is to be paid in this fractional
currency with legal tender quality in
sums of IS only. The party aided by
the sound money followers Of Cleve-
land promised the laborers of the
country, and all others gold, in their
business transactions, and what they
are bringing the country to is an I'M
secured issue of paper money. Under
the Fowler bill the greenbacks or
treasury notes are to be retired and
supplanted by the asset currency Of
the corporations No man ever knew
of dollar issued by au thority of con-
gress, and made a full legal tender, no
matter what its material, that was
worth less than the sum expressed on
its face. Such is safe for the people
and only dangerous to those who prof
it by swapping dollars for unsecured
bank bills.

Boundary Enters Suit.

Four lawsuits for damages have been
filed against L. N. Lewison, sheriff Of
Union county, South Dakota, in the
district court at Sioux City, Ia, for
four members of the Turgeon family,
$1,999 being demanded in each case.
The suits are the result of an attempt
made by the sheriff May 8, 1902. to ar
rest Velaire and G. w. Turgeon on a
criminal charge. The sheriff was &C.
companied to the Turgeon home in the
country south of Elk Point by three
deputies, and all were mounted and
armed. The Turgeons resisted. claim
ing they lived on Nebraska soil, their
home being near the boundary be-
tween South Dakota and Nebraska,
which was for many years under dis
pute. The wife of one of the Tur-
geons and the mother of both of the
Turgeons undertook to help their rela-
tives and allege they were injured by
the sheriff. The young men and the
two women bring suits for personal In
juries.

schwab Returns Money.

A number Of Des Moines people
have recently received from Charles
M. Schwab, who assisted in the forma-
ton of the shipbuilding trust, sundry
checks representing the amounts Of
their investments. A short time ago
Ex-Governor Frank d. Jackson receiv-
ed check for $4,000, which represent
ed the amount of his investment and
Miss Eliza Ainsworth received a
check for $4,000. These sums were
paid to the organizers of the ship
building trust for stock in.the big con.
Germ. When the promoters failed in
their scheme, and found they were in
danger unless they made good the sums
received for stock, they commenced
the policy Of paying back to the in
vestors. 1t Is supposed that a large
number Of others invested also, and
other checks will be coming back to
Iowa.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
Others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

Unknown Steamer on Inner
Diamond Shoals.
LIFE SAVERS CANNOT APPROACH HER
Held Fast In Graveyard of shipping
Known ns "HeIl's HoIe"-signs of
Life ON BOnrd-Heavy Sea
Prevents Rescue.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 29.-Battered
by heavy seas, an unknown steamer
lies helpless on the Inner Diamond
shoals, eight miles off Cape IIatteras,
and faint lights seen now and then
carry message To the life saving
lives aboard the wrecked craft that
cannot be saved until wind and sea
have Gained sufficiently to allow the
surfboats to be launched.
The observer of the United States
weather bureau at Hatteras first saw
the steamer when the fog lifted short
~ before noon yesterday. AT that
time she appeared to be in distress,
and later il was seen that she had
grounded on the inner shoal. known
to mariners as "Hell's Hole" in the
graveyard of shipping. Heavy seas
careened the vessel on her beams, and
al 3 o'clock she was lying on her port
side, with seas washing all over her.
The smoke that her funnel emitted ear
~ in the day was no longer discerni-
BILE, and ii was then supposed that her
fires had been eXtnguished by water
filing the hull.
The steamer has three maStS and one
funnel. Her engines and boilers are
nft. and the funnel is between the
mainmast and miZ2en mast From her
description it is thought she may be
one of the fruit liners that ply between
West Indian ports ana Baltimore or
New York
The observer ut Hatteras reported
that the life saving crews Of several
stations along the Carolina coast in
the vicinity of Hatteras were on the
beach ready to launch their surfboats
the minute the wind and tide had abat-
ed sufficiently to allow them to do so.
AT that time the wind had dropped
from forty to thirty-six miles an hour
but the mercury also was falling
steadily, and the approach of freezing
weather bodies i'll for the crew inn
prisOned upon the steamer. The re-
port states that at sunset the vessel
had apparently rlghted herself some
what and that If the wind and sea did
not increase there was probability
Of her remaining intact for a time at
least. thus giving the life savers
chance to reach her
From the size of the steamer it is
estimated she carries a complement of
twenty-five men. but it has been i'm
possible TO secure view that would
allow any surmise as to her character
being made. There may be passengers
aboard.
Word from the scene expresses lit
tie hope that loss of life can be avert
ed. Several hours, while on her port
beam, the steamer was at times com
pletely covered by the breakers that
piled up on her decks, striking with
terrific force. The lights appeared to
those on shore last night rs torchlights
and not signals of any regular charuc-
