ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN.
Jefferson Davis Daughter Relates

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug.
"a. When Mrs. Margaret Howell
jefferson Davis Hayes, daughter
of the President of the Confed-
eracy, learned that member of
the fighting Fifteenth Pennsylvania
Cavalry, attending the eu nio n
here, had hung upon the walls of
the Antler's Hotel copy of the
old proclamation offering reward
of $500, 600 for the arrest of her
father and other Confederate lead
ers for alleged completely in the
ASSASSINATION of President Lincoln,
she Immediately raised a protest
to Gen. William j. Palmer, the
host of the reunion.
Before her protest had been re-
ceiyed, however, Gen. Palmer had
heard of the proclamation and
ordered that it be taken down, out

is the wife of j. A. Hayes, a banker

CALLS TAFT "sTRADDLER.
Bryan Replies to Recent Declaration
of War Secretary.

OF war secretary.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 26. vii.
liam J. Bryan's reply to the speech
of Secretary Taft at Columbus, o.,
was given out tonight. Secretary
Taft is condemned as ''straddler'
on nearly all the important issues
and criticised for not taking adj
vanced ground in reform. Mr..
Bryan complains also that his own
position has been misrepresented
by the Secretary. Mr.. Bryan says:
Secretary Taft's speech will
prove disappointment to those
who expected a clear bugle note
in favor of reform. There is not
a single question on which he takes
a strong advanced position.
''On the railroad question he is
in favor of preventing watered
stock, opposes the consolidation
of competing lines and the dupli-
cation of directorates. So far SO
good; but he does not advocate
the ascertaining of the value of
the roads or the reduction Of rates.
He even defends the President
from the charge of favoring the
reductions made by the States.
The railroads may object to his
rhetorical demolition of abuses,
but they will hardly be scared by
his remedies.
.On the trust question he thun-
ders at unlawful trusts, but not
only does not recommend new leg
islation, but takes the position that
a monopoly may not be harmful.
He seems to lean toward the idea
that it must be convicted of some
harmful act--and this throws the
burden of proof upon the govern
ment.
He recognizes that restraining
is more difficult when one corpora
tion swallows up a lot Of other
corporations = that it involves
enormous labor on the part of the
to prosecute such a
combination because the proof of
the gist of the offense lies under
meath an almost limitless variety
Of transaction and yet he is OPP
posed to the license system which |
would enable the government to
absolutely prevent amonopoly. In
other words, he gives the benefit
If the doubt to the corporation
instead of to the people.
"de thinks that putting one or
.wo trust magnates in the peniten-
,iary would have a healthy effect,
,ut he uses SO many qualifying
words that one is left In doubt as
o what he really favors.
''He makes out a strong case in
avor of tariff reform, but when
lie gets to the remedy he goes no
arther than the Republican lead
rs have gone in former campaigns.
lie wants enough tariff to cover
be difference in cost of labor here
nd abroad, the excuse given for

Gold from Denver Mint.

Colorado Springs.-Thousand of
dollars in gold have been flowing into
Colorado Springs from the Denver
mint and the flood of yellow metal
will continue to pour in so long as it
is needed to meet the payrolls of the
reduction mills at Colorado City and
the mines and mills in the Cripple
Creek district. The following state
ment concerning conditions here has
been prepared for publication by the
Clearing House Association:
Much has been said in the papers
in regard to the efforts of the banks
OF New York and other cities in OBJ
tanning gold, but nothing has been said
in regard to what business men ard
banks here have done.
I'VE understand upon the best au-
thority that, by an arrangement be-
tween the United States Reduction
Works and the Portland mill and one
Of the banks Of this city. about $7O,-
900 in gold has been received in this
city from the mint this week. These
shipments of gold will be continued
indefinitely. This gold is not to be re-
tanned. The arrangement is that it
shall be paid out to meet the payrolls
Of the mills at Colorado City and of
the mines and mills at Cripple Creek
ITO show in what perfect harmony
the banks are working in this city and
also in Cripple Creek, this gold is to
be paid out for the mines payrolls re-
gardless Of which banks the mines
keep their accounts in"

Cash Needed to Move Grain.

Grand Forks, S. Ex-senator Hans
brough has sent tne following tele
gram to President Roosevelt:
Fully 10000. 900 bushels of grain
are no wready to De marketed in the
two Dakotas and Minnesota, and there
is no money with which to do it. The
necessities of tne Northwest are,
therefore, much greater than in any
other section of the country, demand
ing the fullest consideration at the
hands of the treasury department.
Ten million dollars placed in Twin
City banks would raise the embargo
and start grain shipments to Europe.
This would relieve the financial stress
in the East much quicker than de
post of treasury funds in New York.
Treasury relief operations should
have been begun here, where the con
gestion is greatest. Our people are
not losing their heads. They have no
fear of panic, but in this crop now
in season our business men should
have special consideration"

Thomas Harper. a miner. We're en-
gagged in an examination of one of
the mines of the Union Pacific Coal
Company, which it had purchased from
the Porter Coal Company, against
which latter corporation indictments
were returned by the federal grand
jury charging fraud in connection
with the original filing on the prop
eTty. With the object of entering the
mine on Sunday, when little work was
being done, the officers climbed the
mountain to an air shaft connecting
with the main workings of the prop
erty and prepared to lower themselves
into the workings with ropes.
Chapson. Gallgan and Harper went

the men had been lowered According
to the story of the shooting, Mason
and Vanderwyve were engaged in an
inspection of the property of the COM

time leveling revolver and firing at
them. The men continued to advance

gagged in the investigation that he was
pursuing at the time of his death for
the past ten months and was well
known to everybody in this section of
southern Colorado.
