have been issued in that crisis would have
soon gone into the bank vaults to keep
silent company with the idle millions
already there. There was plenty of money
with which to mediate exchanges IL, in
broad sense there had been any exchanges

TO be restored and men began to buy and

turn again in the slow progress Of debt

of confidence and the revival OF business
TO an increase of volume produced by in
creased production OF gold Is to expose
gross msconception OF the part which
money plays in the wide world Of business,
and an absurd misunderstanding of the
real sources Of our wealth. II is the vast
productions of the soil, the mine and the

The sailors at Oshkosh have a most
friendly feeling for the boys from Mad
ava and that crew is the only one to on
ter the regatta which comes from such
a distance. The oil sailors of the cea are
at loss to understand how the plains
Of Nebraska and the rolling hills of Iowa
can turn out such frst-class sailors. The
showing made during the last three years
forces the other crews to notice their
coming and the fear for the result when
they enter the lists. The fact that tho

matter which will attract more attention
this fall
The Council Bluffs boys will have
another competitor this year in the shape
of the Sylvia from st. Joseph, entered by
the Lotus club. This is the boat which
beat the Iowa boat in June and the Man
ava boys are anxious to get a chance TO
race that boat away from home.
Captain Robbins came to Manawa in

his reputation as boat builder and in

CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE.
"The effort to confute this tes.

assertion of implication that the

an absurdity too gross to need
discussion, and unsupported by
a shred of evidence. There is
no question as to the murder and

no question that some of the SOL

and under such circumstances
there was no alternative, for the
usefulness of the army would be
at an end we're we to permit such
an outrage to be committed with
impunity.
''Iu short, the evidence proves
conclusively that a mum ber of the
soldiers engaged in deliberate

to terrorize the com immunity, and
to kill or iniure men, women and

when detection by Identification
