FOUND DEAD In BARN
Jacob WaItemeyer, Missed by Family
Since Friday, is Discovered Dead in
Hayloft at I O'clock This Afternoon
Rheumatism Of Heart Supposed
Cause.

Jacob Waltemeyer, a well-known
resident of this city, and for many
years a prominent farmer of Logan
township, was found dead at 1 o'clock
this afternoon by his son-in-law, w.
#. Bennett. The body was lying in the
I1ayloft of the barn at the Waltemeyer
home, 4OS North First avenue. The
condition of the body indicated that
Mr.. Waltemeyer had been dead prob
ably ever since he disappeared. Death
was due to rheumatism Of the heart.
Mrs. Waltemeyer had been to Keota
on visit, and only reached home Sat-
urday. AS her husband was not at
home she telephoned to the farm,
thinking that perhaps he might be with
his sons. AS he had not
been there the family was getting
somewhat anxious. The possibility OF
having met with an accident at the
barn led Mr.. Bennett to visit the build
ing this afternoon. He went to the
haymow, and saw the body in the
dim light, lying near the north wall.
Mr. Bennett called to him, thinking
him asleep. A lantern was secured,
and the real situation was learned.
Mr.. Waltemeyer had not been we'll
for some time, being sufferer from
rheumatism. He recently returned
from Prairie du Chen, Wis, where he
had been taking treatment.
The arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been made.

London Feels Better.

London, Nov. 5.-Trading on the
stock exchange today started well,
operations being cheered by the an
nouncenent that gold shipments from
Paris to London were being made.
Brokers expect the Paris shipments
of gold to London to be fairly con-
siderable, and they express the opin-
ion that the outflow of gold to Amer
lea from London would continue for
some time, even if the Bank of Eng
glands discount rate is raised to per
cent. 1t is pointed out, however, that
if such a rate becomes necessary, it Is
bound to attract gold from other
sources. thus offsetting the American
drain. 1t is further remarked that the
Bank of England's discount rate has
not been above six per cent since
1873, when on November of that year
as a result Of the panic on the stock
exchange, the rate was put up to nine
per cent.

Our country is all right. Our resources
