"Kipps's" head whirls with his unexpected good for tune. He was advised, he was warned, he was fiattered and congratulated.

American Gold.

| @NSW IOrk WOEt0.
 The largest yield of American gold ever recorded was taken from Che earth last year according to the Geo1o~- ical Survey report. The product was worth $so,s35.oOo.a trifle less than sf for each inhabitant of the United states. The years yield of silver was about 40 cents per inhabitant. The combined production of gold and silver in the whole world is only 35 cents for each inhabitant.
 For each inhabitant of the United States the country produces s5. 60 worth of cotton. S1.90 worth of potatoes. nearly sI worth of hay, nearly $50 worth of grain crops. The American hog roots out more wealth by 2z.000.- 900 year than all the gold miners dig. The side product of cottonseed Is worth more than the silver yield.
 Among the minerals gold and sil- yer cut small figure. Clay products exceed them both in value. A years crude copper CT crude petroleum is worth more than a years gold Coal At the pit mouth is worth six times as much Portland cement is nearly as valuable product as silver.

Mrs. jeanette Meyer with whom he
had boarded for several months. He
was seated on a box, which he had
drawn up against the wall of the

Fortman's room was found a will,
which he had written Monday.
The clothing and belongings of the
aged suicide were neatly packed and
other things were visible which made
it evident that he had spent all OF

arranging his affairs before taking his
life. Saturday evening Fortman WIS.,

Bryan's hold upon his party is un-

Wisconsin, one of the most conserva-

PARK BOARD

The board of park commissioners
at meeting held this morning filed
its recommendation to the amended
proposition of Finch e. Hogan in re-
gard to the donation Of the Audubon
Park tract. The matter will be taken
before the city council at It's meeting
tonight
The first proposition of Messrs.
Finch and Hogan stipulated that a
driveway should be built and COM
pleted by July /. 1906, and that a
water main should be extended to the
park by November I, 1905.
The city council, when the matter
was first placed before it. did not
approve of the proposition of Finch
& Hogan, averring that the donators
should be more specific in setting
forth what expense the city should
be put 10 in complying with the terms
of the agreement.
When the agreement was first SUBJ
mitted to the council II stated that
the driveway was to be built, but no
specified sum to be expended by the
city was mentioned. The amended
measure as recommended at the meet
ing of the park commissioners this
morning states that the city shall
expend the sum of $500 in Construct
ing the roadway and shall complete
the water main by July l. 1906, in
stead of November /, 1905.
