SAT WAITING
FOR DEATH.
AGED COUPLE FOUND DEAD IN
THEIR HOME THOUGHT TO
HAVE KEPT SUICIDE
PACT.

CHICAGO. Oct. 15.-Calmly
awaiting death. Gustave Roscher,
sixty-seven years old, a rich retired
grocer and his wife Fannie, ten
years his junior, sat in the parlor Of
their home today at 724 r. Raven
wood park, clothed In their best raj.
ment, while gas. which was escap-
ing from the open Jets OF a stove
filled the house The police are
confident the two died as the re-
suit of a suicide pact.
When the bodies were discovered
they appeared as natural as in life.
Face to fact they sat with hands fold
ed. Just why Mr.. and Mrs. Roscher
ended their lives is not known, but
IL is believed that they came to a de-
cision today TO commit suicide and
with that in view made all their
preparations. That neither made a
struggle to escape death was shown
by the condition OF the room In which
the bodies were found. The two had
been dead several hours when the
bodies were discovered.

TO BE A STILL
CHEAPER DOLLAR

The world is getting rich In It's
treasure OF gold with n rapidity i,o.
foreseen In thep ast. y II has about
doubled its annual gold production
In 10 years and more than tripled II
In 15. and now only just opening the
enormously rich gold mines in the
new and perhaps the richest OF all
the American gold fields yet discov-
cred. II is these Nevada mines that
are expected to restore to America
the leading place In gold produc-
tion held In the years preceding the
South African gold discoveries. For
the past nine years the annual gold
output has been increasing at the
rate OF $3O,OOO.0OO a year, while
for the preceding decade the average
increase was somewhat less than
sS,0OO,O0O. or course. at this rate
OF yearly increase OF production the
worlds supply OF gold will be doubl-
ed during the next 10 years.
What this may mean in an eco
nomic way can now only be approx
imately estimated. Harking back to
tho California gold discoveries and
the days of the forty-niners. we find
trade and commercial movement
OF great proportins following In
their wake, extending to other lands,
yet with American interests to the
fore. That more gold should create
larger demand for what gold can
buy is easily comprehensive, and
sure TO be In the direction OF increas-
ed volume can safely be figured up
on. with $375, 100000 produc-
ton in 1905 and an annual increase
as stated, the enormous riches To be
found in the gold supply OF 1915 Will
exert an influence on the wages OF
labor and the distribution OF capital
that is bound to modify greatly
present conditions Of life.--New
York Commercial.

each of us to be aroused as to the
encroachment and the abridgment
of our political rights which was
