NOW ron CURRENCY REFORM.

The currency question Is getting
ready to meet congress face TO face
and hilt to hit. For good many
years the national legislature has
displayed a great deal OF hesitation
and timidlty In graphing with the
elastic currency issue. But this
time the big financial and bonking
interests that are demanding, Tor
reasons OF their own, to be invested
with complete control OF our cur
rency system, purpose to force CON
gress to face the issue squarely and
give them such legislation as they
demand.
And since the lower house OF con-
gress still remains republican by
something moe than fifty majority,
and 1t Is through the republican
party that this precious trick Is to
be turned, 1t Is not surprising that
the bankers are fairly confident.
The New York chamber of COM
merce has already promulgated its
plan. 1t almost unanimously adopt
ed, the other day, the report of It's
special committee on currency, which
declared In favor OF a central bank OF
issue as the remedy to be desired
above all others. This bank is to be
known as the bank Of the United
States, and shall alone exercise the
privilege OF issuing circulating notes,
which privilege shall be withdrawn
from the national banks now enjoy
ing II.
The chamber OF commerce, though
Is canny enough TO recognize that
this might be deemed revolutionary
and be viewed with suspicion In tn,
less civilized portions of the country
30. while Withholding the centra
bank as the ultimate remedy, 1t sug
nests, for--an immediate solution o
the problem, some form OF asset cur
rcncy.
In the meantime other banking as
sociations are also comforting ant
making ready, and 1t is certain that
by the time that the new congress
meets, IL not before, the issue will
be thrown plump at the heads of on
national representatives.

The result Of the election In Idaho
can be accounted for In very few
words; the republican voters conclud.
ed b take tho party leaders at thtir
word and give them one more chance.
While many republicans admitted
that there was something u the
Mormon Issue, yet they had that
abiding faith In their party that has
become their second nature and be.
liesod all wrongs would be righted
within the party, Coming events
can only detcruine whether the
party Ia this instance will meet with
their expectations.

In this county 1t Is usually the
case that candidate for county COM
missioner does not make personal
canvass during the campaign. This
rule was followed during the recent
election. The vote that man re-
ceiyed In this case would naturally
be an indication of his acquaintance
and popularity. Taking this as a
basis for drawing conclusions, it can
readily be seen that John Long, can
didate for county commissioner, was
the strongest man on the republican
ticket, as he is easily In the lead.
The Recorder has not at any time
questioned the integrity of single
one of the county commissioners, but
has questioned their business ability
and Judgment.

The graveyard scene In the other
paper last week was not necessary TO
convince the ordinary reader OF that
paper that the sheet looked like a
graveyard by moonlight. We have
always been firm believer In the
biblical story Of the resurrection, but
that was the first occasion that we
ever had any personal knowledge OF
a resurrection before death. Dr..
Wbitwell, George Steel, and j. NJ.
Langsdorf are the most lively corpses
we have ever seen dug out OF grave
yard. We presume Mr.. Abbott con-
cluded that II he did not use the

When 1t Is considered that Hearst
was defeated by $1,000 in New York
and that the rest Of his colleagues on
the ticket were elected, 1t does not
appear rs If the republican party has
very much to rejoice over. To defeat
Hearst this small majority required
lots OF money and the entire influ.
ence Of the administration. Where
Hearst could reach the people-ir
the large cities Of the state-he was
successful, and Hughes got his vote
in the rural districts which have al.
ways been republican.

TRAIN LOAD OF SHEEP
Nine Thousand Animals Brought
Into Monroe County.

The largest single shipment of
sheep ever brought into Marion
county steamed into the Knoxville
yards at 200 o'clock last Friday a.
ternoon. 1t comprised 26 double
decked cars, ITS sheep to the deck,
or total of 800 head; the train
drawn by two of the largest engines
on the %" system. The entire car
go was composed of Oregon lambs"
sheep about two-thirds full grown
which were purchased at Omaha by
Marion county feeders and started
from that place Thursday afternoon.
The entire lot, practically worth $780,
900 worth of sheep, were unloaded at
Knoxville, Donley and Pleasantville,
and will be fed out on Marion coun-
tvs luxuriant pastures and on the
rape which the far-sighted farmers
planted among their corn.
There are probably not less than
100000 sheep now feeding on Marion
county pasturage, or about one
fourth of the total number of such
animals in the state at the time the
census of 1880 was taken. At that
time the total number in all the
ninety.nine counties of the state was
only 455,359 At the same time, 26
years ago, Marion county was credit
ed with only 1926, which would be
only 1856 more than was contained
in the receipts" Of last Friday.

lot last week, and the number of cars
$3.50 sheep to the carr consigned to
each, are as follows: Clark Bros,

DEBT PREYED ON MIND.
Supposed Motive Of Mothers Deed
Near Eddyville.

Eddyville, Oct 16.-The funeral Of
Mrs. Elmer Ellis and her fve-year-old
daughter, May, who were found lying
in pool of blood at about noon yes
terday, will be held from the home
in Pleasant township, Monroe coun-
ty, at ten o'clock tomorrow morning,
and interment will be made in High
land cemetery.
The particulars of this, one of the
worst tragedies occurring in this vi
cinity for a long time, are about as
follows: The husband and father had
been working in the timber on his
farm during the forenoon. On going
home to dinner yesterday noon he
was surprised to find the house lock-
ed up. He peered through a window
and was Mortified to see the. bodies OF
his wife and their little fye-year-old
daughter lying on the floor in pool
of blood.
He FASTENED to the home of neigh
Dor, and DR.. F. E. Vance of this place
was called. Upon the doctors arriv-
al an entrance was forced, and the
doctor was the first to enter the
home He found the child dead. Mrs.
Ellis gasped a few times and died
without regaining consciousness. The
weapon used was a 32-caliber revol-
yer. The child had been shot once
in the heart, and the woman had then
fired two shots into her own body,
taking effect in the region of the
heart.
A blood-stained note was found in
which the woman asked her husband
not to blame anyone for the deed, but
saying she was responsible. She also
requested that she and the child be
buried together, and also gave in
structions about their burial clothes,
etc.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis disposed of their
farm three or four miles southwest
of town, last spring, but had contin-
ued to reside on the place. They had
lately been searching for new home,
but found none that suited them, so
last week they re-purchased the farm
which they were occupying, paying
several hundred dollars more than
they had sold it for. This matter of
being. in debt seemed to prey upon
the woman's mind and is supposed to
have prompted the deed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis were married
about fifteen years ago, her maiden
name being Laura Chiffon The only
child of this union was the bright lit
tie girl who died with the mother.
Mrs. Ellis was SO years old. She was
a daughter of Joseph Chiffon, of Mil.
ler's Creek, and she is survived by
her aged father and several brothers
and sisters, as well as the husband,
who are heart-broken over the trag-
| edy.
DR.. Hyatt, of Abba, the coroner of
Monroe county, conducted an inquest
at the home late yesterday afternoon.
The verdict of the jury could not be
learned.
