CHAPTER XXI.
An Unexpected Swim.

For time it seemed to me that the
fellows life must have been lost and
that his body had floated down the
stream with the current, which in
creased steadily in force as it neared
the falls, some two miles below
Whence he had come did not
know, for l could not conceive that
a man would be swimming in the river
at this time of year, and. just as l was
about to row ashore and report the
affair to those who could institute
a proper search for the body, an idea
flashed into my head and served to
explain the matter in short order
The ghosts, or at least the men
who impersonated them, had always
disappeared from sight at this point
on the river bank, and, doubtless, they
had dived into the water and found
shelter somewhere under the shore
II this were the case, man might
easily enough have ventured out from
his hiding place, and. upon seeing me,
returned and waited until the coast
was clear again.
l pulled in close to the shore, and,
padding slowly along under the over.

faction, l noticed a slight commo-
ton in the water between me and the
shore, such as might have been made
by beaver or muskrat.
In another moment a mans head
appeared above the surface and then.
with a wild look at me and my boat,
not 20 yards distant, he gave a con-
vulsive sputter and disappeared again
with a plunge like that of porpoise
playing under the bow of ship.
The water was bitterly cold, for 1t
was now near the end of October, and
there was a chill in the air which
foretold the coming of snow, yet, al
though | patrolled the spot for near
ly half an hour and had clear view
of the river and shore for fully mile
in every direction, the figure did not
reappear.

A SUGGESTION FROM PITTSBURG.
Banker Asks President to Stop Interstate

tion for the suppression of combinations OF Or
ganized wealth to create panic conditions
thereby causing lack of confidence and hamper
ing the prosperity of the country Mr. Tiers Is
publicist and economist. and his suggestions
have been received in this city with more than
passing interest. In the letter he says:
LAS a possible means to protect the legitimate
business interests, the wage earners and bread
winners of the whole country from untold in
Jury due 20 industrial stagnation, / respectfully
suggest that the necessary steps be taken TO
prevent the interstate transmission and publica-
ton of Stock Exchange quotations.
'As Stock Exchange quotations are very
largely the reports Of mere gambling transac-
tions I believe their wide transmission and pub
Iioation could be legally prohibited IN the same
manner or upon the same grounds as Louisiana
lotteries and other such gambling transactions
are now prohibited by the national government.
There will probably be no better opportunity
than at present to practically put an end to
bucket shops and stock exchanges and the whole
chain of consequent evils
believing that this would be effective
remedy for many evils, / sincerely urge you to
consider the above suggestion"

LUNATICS IN REVOLT.
ONE MADMAN KILLED
Mob Tries to Leare State Hospital
at DannemOru.

Plattsburg N Y Aug. GA mob of Grim
inally insane at the state hospital in Dame
mora for two hours last night stood off their
guards while other lunatics made desperate
attempt to force exit from the building. Not
until one of the rebellious madmen had been
shot and killed and the guards were reinforced
by less violent inmates and villagers was the
outbreak put down. Examinations Of what the
insane men had done showed two large dormi-
tories wrecked, windows smashed, iron gratings
bent and walls damaged where an effort to
wrench the iron bars from their stone httlnSS

Dubois. who had been at the hospital only Il

degree, he was subsequently, mentally examined
and ordered to the state hospital.

carried out was executed with reckless boldness.

Where they got these is a mystery
Several shots were fred by the guards. but 1t
was impossible TO tell whether they were ef-
fective until the riot quelled, when it was
discovered that Isaac Dubois had been shot and
killed. probably instantly Townspeople and
guards from the prison were attracted by the
terrific noise and assisted materially, when at

This is the first outbreak Of any sort since the

Washington. Aug 22--The Secretary of the
Treasury has advised the bureau of insular
affairs and through it the companies financing

depositary banks Will be permitted to substi-
tute Philippine railway bonds at 90 per cent
of their market value for state. municipal and
railway bonds now held security for federal
deposits. thus releasing the other securities for
deposit against increased issues of circulation.
A request for this has been under cOnsidera-
tion for some time. but the Secretary did not
render favorable decision until to-day. The
authorization will doubtless result In materially
increasing the market value of the railway
bonds and is especially timely because of the
increasing demand for money with which TO

The Philippine railway bonds are issued by
