ROOSEVELT TO REFUND?
Insurance Contributions to Campaign
Fund Said to Trouble President.

Fund Said to Trouble President.
New York, Dec. 3.-Before he retires
from Office President Roosevelt intends
to have refunded to the policy holders
of the big Three insurance compa-
nies the money contributed to the Re
publican national committee in 1904 by
the Equitable Life, the Mutual Life
and the New York Life Insurance COM
panies, says the World.
The aggregate Of their contributions,
made out Of the yellow dog" funds Of
the companies, was $14s000. The fact
that he was elected with the help of
money taken illegally from the policy
holders of the three companies is said
to have nettled the president sorely
for many months.
It leaked out for the first time that
the president has already taken steps
to have the money refunded and that
this would have done long ago but for
the obstinacy of Postmaster General
George B. Cortelyou and Cornelius N.
Bliss of New York.
Mr.. Cortelyou was chairman Of the
Republican national. committee during
the Roosevelt campaign of 1904 and
still holds the position. Mr. Bliss was
and is treasurer of the Republican ma
tional committee.
1t is known positively that President
Roosevelt sent for both Mr.. Cortelyou
and Mr.. Bliss several months ago and
directed them to pay back, with inter-
est, whatever sums the Mutual, Equi-
table and New York Life contributed
to his campaign fund.
They told the president frankly that
while they would like to accede to his
wish in the matter, his request was
utterly impossible. They declared that
if the money were refunded it would
be interpreted by the public as a con
fession Of guilt, which would place
them both in position peculiarly en-
barrassing and humiua ding.

and water for breakfast some time,
with oat meal and rats in it for fla

made from two black-eyed peas and
an irish potato. Prunes for supper,
and they expect them to turn off as
much work as a laboring man on the
outside. They are not allowed to
speak to each other, except in the
line of duty. Not allo wed to speak
to guard, unless they need some
thing. If they are caught doing so
they get pulled away from the table
and stood up facing the wall. 1t is

CRAZY MAN
Ran Into Cave and Leaped into
Fath0mleSS Pit at Tar
Springs.

Cloverport, KY, June 23.-Word
was received here that an unknown
man, about forty-fve years of age,
supposed to be insane, after running
through the woods. about six miles
south of here, shouting that a mob
was pursuing him for a horrible
crime, ran into a cave near Tar
Springs, a summer resort, and drop
ped into a pit, the bottom of which
has never been found.
An effort is being made to locate
the bottom, but those who have been
lowered into the abyss declare that
they heard running water, and it is
supposed that the body has been
washed underground.
About noon the man is SAID to
have asked for a meal at the farm of
William Atkison, and after eating,
became wild, threatening the lives
of the members of the family. He
seized a club and the family fled, af-
ter the man attempted to brain an
infant. The man dashed through
the woods and was later found con-
cealed in an empty piano box at the
Tar Springs hotel by James F. Halli-
day, proprietor of the hotel, who
ordered him from the box. The
mailman, then jumped over the
railing of the pit, which is near the
entrance. The man. in his mad
rush. was followed by Mr.. Halliday
and several guests of the hotel.
They reached the enterance in time
to see him leap. The man was
dressed in plain clothes and appear
ed to be a laborer. He had been
seen in that part of the country in
the morning.

last struck upon the Tariff question,
upon which the people have already
so forcibly expressed themselves.
Tariff for revenue only is Demo-
cratic manner of expressing Free
Trade. There may be some men,
bers of the party enthusiastic
enough to hope that the party can
win upon the Tariff issue. There
are others of experience in several
campaigns who will be less optimis-
tic. The Republicans are ready to
make campaign upon party achiev-

publican principles. The success of
the past can be duplicated and even

Both Ends.

Someone has said that one-half the
misery of life at least, if not more,
comes to people from not being able
to make both ends meet; yet how
unnecessary is the nervous strain
and worry of mind which arises
from the foolish attempt to keep up
appearances which is beyond ones
income. Pretense is detrimental to
self-respect. Much better say at
once. I'VE cannot afford it," never
appologizing for the smallness of the
house or the lack of domestics. new

If we would only stop and think how
little we need to enjoy life, instead
of how much, how infinitely happier
we would be.

The policy of the bank is to keep

much or little your account will be
welcome there. A new and SUBJ

The Tariff an Issue.

When the Democrats have no 9TH
err issue to advance they always fall
back on the tariff. Just at present
there is an evident disposition to
formulate some policy upon which
the different factions can be brought
together into at least a semblance of
harmony. Organism as it was ex-
pounded by the Nebraska leader in
1896 and 1900 is not suggested. But
Bryan is much stronger with the
conservatives than he has been at
any time since his crushing defeat in
1896. How much Bryan is to be re-
garded as accepting the doctrines
and policies of the conservative ele-
ment is a matter of individual opin-
ion, upon which there has been no
general agreement among the Dem
ocrats themselves. Whatever the
extent of the give and take it re-
mains to be brought out later. The
Republicans have adopted such poll
cies on the practical questions of the
day affecting the material and po-
litical welfare of the country that
the Democrats are deprived of de-
batable ground. There is nothing
upon which the Democracy can go
before the people with any hope of
making an impression, and the old
Tariff issue is being brought out and
furnished in the hope that it can be
made to do duty again. The Kan
sas Democrats in State convention
gave an idea of probable party poll
cy in the nation when the chairman,
in addressing the convention. said:
I'VE are in favor of the old-fashion-
ed doctrine as enunciated by Samuel
j. Tilden, and accommodated by
Grover Cleveland, of the Tariff for
revenue only" That may be taken
as an indication that the Kansas
Democrats in cropping about for
