the tremendous increase of the ma
tion's wealth. That after the panic
which had shaken the confidence Of
bank depositors and OF business men
who must necessarily transact much
business on credit, factories, mer-
chants and workmen should have had
such assurance about the future was
considered as a tribute to the Repub-
lican administration. Students Of the
political and business conditions said
that, In view of the history of the last
twelve years, there was no doubt that
the prosperity of the country would
increase provided William H. Taft was
elected president. Only the election
Of William Jennings Bryan, they said,
could give the country a shock that
would chill the optimism of business
men and quench the fires in the fur
naces of mills throughout the coun-
try and put down the prices of farm
ers' products.
A cursory review of the manner in
which flnanciers, manufacturers and
business men generally pulled the
country through the panic Of 1907 and
plunged anew into plans for the Gre

shows that the last year has been a
remarkable one The Union Pacific
railroad early in the year issued $780,
100000 In bonds to be devoted to the
extension of its lines and the making
of improvements. The Pennsylvania
railroad issued $40,00O,000 in bonds to
continue Its improvements. The New
York Central railroad got 100000, 900
to put into improvements. The Cen
trail Pacific sold $1S,0O0,O0O worth of
bonds and utilized the money in way
that gave work to many men. There
was the Tidewater company, with an
issue of $17.000O,O00; the Chicago.
Burlington & Quincy with $15, 900, 900,
and many other roads. Gas compan-
les, electric light, traction, industrial
and other companies issued bonds for
improvements. amounting in all to
half billion dollars. New companies,
with capital amounting to many mill
lon dollars, also were formed.
Activity in Building Trades.
In July the effect Of that outlay Of
new capital became apparent. The
building trades began to show i'm
provement, and by September the
amount expended in such work ex-
ceeded that of any month in the year
and that of the preceding September.
Reports to Bradstreet's from sixty
seven cities showed that in them
$41 100000 had been spent in one
month in building operations. That

scene on the Union Pacific train No.

his stateroom was burst open by a
deputy sheriff. William Randolph
Hearst, the millionaire editor, was
served with papers notifying him that
q suit for 100000 had been brought
against him for slander and libel by
Governor Charles N. Haskell of Okla
homa in the Douglass county, Neb.,
district court. The; summons was
served by Deputy Sheriff Stewart for
Smyth & Smyth Of Omaha, who are
Governor Haskells attorneys, in the
damage suit.
The suit was filed in the district
court at 10 o'clock last night after
which the papers were Immediately
withdrawn. It was known that
Hearst would pass through Omaha
last night on his way from Seattle to
New York and plans were laid ac-
cordingly. The Union Pacific was
due at $40 o'clock but did not ar
rive until 11:25. Deputy Sheriff
Stewaft was on hand with orders to
serve the summons on Hearst but had
trying time in doing so. A knock

door from the editors wife that he

be cheated, the deputy sheriff de-
manded admittance In the name Of the
law, saying that If he were not ad-

Then ensued a dramatic scene. Mrs.

that she was alone and would admit

accepted the papers which the deputy
thrust out. He appeared less in

ONLY DANGER
Election Of. Bryan Would Stop
the Wheels of Industrial
Progress

New York, Oct. 16.-Business men,
who have been observing keenly the
economic developments of the last few
months, said today that the country,
one year after the financial stringency
IN Wall street, was entering upon an
era that would eclipse the prosperity
of the administrations of Mckinley
and Roosevelt. A few striking facts
drove them to that prediction. DESPITE
the panic of last fall practically one
nalt billion dollars of securities had
been sold by railroads, industrial and
manufacturing concerns, and the pro-
ceeds were being devoted to enlarge
iments of plants and the building of
more factories and railroads. In Sep
tember the total building expenditure
throughout the country was more than
$41,000,0O0, which exceeded the ex-
pendftures Of September a year ago
by $4,000,000. The harvesting Of crops,
valued at almost seven billion dol
lars, and the wages paid to contract
ors and laborers meant the pouring
OF millions of dollars of savings into
banks throughout the country. Fur
thermore, manufacturers were prepar-
ing for a large output. A report of
the department of commerce and Ia
Dor showed that the imports for Au-
gust exceeded those of any previous
month this year, and were greater
than those of the preceding August.
All these things showed, experts said,
that the manufacturing, mining and
other interests were lining up for a
year that promised to increase the
wealth of the nation enormously.

A Missouri Farmer Murders Son and
Wounds Another.

Macon, Mo-, Oct. 16.-Oscar Sea-
man. farmer, who killed one of his
sons, dangerously wounded another
and then committed suicide yesterday,
1t is believed, was temporarily insane
from worry over fraudulent deals.
At the afternoon session of the
Knapp district school in Drake town
ship Seaman called and asked the
teacher to excuse his two sons, one 8
and the other II years old. He took
the boys home. Then he called Tres
sic, his 7-year-old girl, told her to
kiss her mother goodbye, and then led
all three OF the children to the barn.
There Seaman showed a revolver and
told the boys all were to die except
Tressie.
A Bullet for, His Daughter.
With that announcement he shot
the youngest boy through the heart.
He died instantly. Seaman then shot
the older boy, inflictng a dangerous
wound. Then Seaman shot himself.
He died at z o'clock this morning.
1t was not more than five minutes
from the time they left the house until
the wounded boy crawled back to tell
his mother what had happened. Tres
sic was not harmed although her IA
ther shot once at her. Four bullets
we're fired.
Seaman made no statement. The Sea-
man home was recently built at a cost
of $4,000. Those who know say the
domestic relations of the family were
pleasant. The cause of the fathers
action was related. by Jose Bradley,
q banker of G1eord, who was in Ma
con today. He said that in the course
OF his business he was called to pass
on some deeds on which Seaman had
asked loan and in looking up the
records he had discovered that Sea-
man did not own the property upon
which he sought the money and that
the deeds he rendered were fraudu-
lent.
Borrowed Money on Bad Deeds.
Mr.. Bradley also discovered several
similar deeds on which Seaman had
obtained loans. The deeds were on
farms in the neighborhood where Sea-
man lived. 1t is estimated that he had
borrowed about $4,000 in this way.
Last week Mr. Seaman wrote to the
Macon Republican, requesting that
the real estate transfers be kept out
for that week. The reason he gave
was not clear. 1t is supposed that his
transactions were nearing the light
and that fear Of exposure drove him
temporarily insane.
Seaman made no attempt to harm
his wife. He was about SO years old
and had been married twelve years.
His father, ]. r. Seaman, is pioneer
citizen Of Macon county.

filled to overfowlng on Sunday eve

high tribute to the worth and char
acter of their departing brother. in
which they conveyed the sentiment
of every one in the large audience.
Rev. Antrobus, after referring mod

preached an able discourse from a

Mr.. MAHONEY IS MISSING
Homer Myers and McComas
Brothers Held for Trial
Myers Bond was Fixed at Two
Thousand Dollars

Liberal Independent
Last Saturday morning when the
case against Mahoney and Myers,
for cattle stealing, was called in
Justice McClure's court, it was
found that Mahoney had disappear
ed. He was under bond of one
thousand dollars. This bond was
signed by H. ]. Smith and AL Spar
CUR. The bondsmen were called
before the court and made the state
ment that Mahoney was gone, and
that they could not produce him in
court. The Justice then declared
the bond forfeited.
Mr.. Myers was present and his
case was called. Only few wit
nesses for the prosecution were ex-
amined. There was no defense Of
fered. The time was mostly taken
up by the defense in an argument
favoring small bond. The bond
was finally fixed by the court at two
thousand dollars. The case against
the McComas boys, same complaint,
was soon disposed of, and they were
held for trial in the district court on
bond of one thousand each. Not
being able to furnish the necessary
bonds they are in Jail. At this time
Myers has not yet given bond and
is in Jail.
The next regular session of the
district court will convene Septem
Ter r5.
