Mary Stubs Moore, chief OF

est price last year was $5.25. The
highest price of bulls in 1890 was

81 in 1890. The high price was
SO in 1907. The price OF calves
has been So or more for the last
six wears. The ,low mark for
sheep was So in 1894. The high
est price was recorded last year
when the figure was Sc. Lambs

Honest?

In his authoritative treatise or
banking given out at Topeka on
Thursday, Mr.. Bryan emits the
subjoined utterance:
What the people need is a
system whereby both state banks
and national banks will be com
PEELED to guarantee depositors
and only a Democratic victory
can secure this reform. With a
Democratic president and Dem
ocratic Congress it will be easy
to secure the adoption of a sys-
tenn which will make both state
and national banks secure.
A Democratic victory this fal
will make it very easv to force
state and national banks into 9
guarantee system for their depos
its. Thi, is the incentive Mr.
BRYAN offers to the voters. 1t i:
strange thing to be said by
man his followers believe to BIZ
honest and sincere.
In the first place, Democratic
victory this fall can not reach the
Senate, which is hopelessly Re
publican for two years more.
In the second place, the Presi
den. and Congress combined car
not pass any laws regulating
state banks.
The proposal is on all four:
with Mr.. Bryan's pledge to cal
an extra session of Congress tc
pass a law electing senators by
popular vote.
But for the impression made
upon thinking men by such utter
ances as this, Mr.. Bryan woulc
be a presidential rossibility.-ln

In response to a demand from
the Austro-Hungarian monarchy,
through its consular representa-
tives, Bella Valdez, who has been
doing a prosperous real estate
business in Gary, Ind, is under
arrest charged with forging bills
of exchange and promissory
notes.
1t is alleged in the foreign pap
ers telling of the fight of Valdez,
that he strengthened the hc-
titious paper with the forged sig
nature of his rich uncle, A. n.
Valdez, the village banker at
Scekscard, Hungary.
Young Valdez fled three years
ago, seeking America as a refuge
and bringing with him his beauti-
full wife. In this extremity Mrs.
Valdez remains true to her hus-
band, asserting his Innocence and
declaring she will sell her gowns
and Jewels to obtain his release.
For over a year the Walders
have lived very quietly in $50
top fiat in Chicago. Valdez
could afford much finer quarters,
as since he has been advertising
Gary realty money has been pour
ing in upon him for investment.
Mrs. Walden says that the $780,
900 was no more than a loan from
his uncle and that she and her
husband had been DENYING them
selves all luxuries to save the
money to pay back the sums bor-
rowed.
One of the pathetic scenes was
the meeting between Valdez and
his pretty wife. She managed to
ge'. into the same room with him
in the office of the United States
Marshal. She threw herself into
her husbands arms. and with
tears streaming down her face,
cried:
1T is an outrage; is there no
justice in this country"
Alexander ID. Nubtr, the Hun
garian Consul in Chicago, saw
the Valdez advertisements and
was struck with the similarity in
names. Circulars had reached him
describing the fugitive. Detec-
tives investigated and fully SUBJ
stantiated the suspicious of the
Consul, learning that the real es-
tate man was no other than the
escaped forger.
Valdez suddenly left Chicago
and stopped at the Hayes Hotel
in Warsaw, Ind, registering un-
der his own name. Fearing that
ne was planning a second flight,
Baron Forster of the Hungarian
Consulate. with Deputy Marshal
Currier. hurried to Warsaw. drag
ged the man out of his hotel room
at midnight and placed him un-
der arrest.
When taken into custody Wal
der did not deny his identity, but
refused to make any statement.
He has been held awaiting extra
dition by Commissioner Foote,
the hearing being set for Septem-
Der 8.

INTERESTING STATS
TICS OF TRAVEL ON
STEAM & INTER
URBAN LINES
IN IND.

Interesting figures to show the
comparative faZardousness of the
steam lines and interurban lines
in Indiana have been prepared by
the Indiana bureau OF statistics.
The total number OF pasSeng-
ers carried by steam roads in In
diana in 1907 was 126,S25,950 and
the total number carried by inter
urban roads was 2S,0S2,4S7. The
interurban roads carried a little
more than one-fourth as many
passengers as the steam roads
The total mileage of steam roads
in Indiana in 1907 was 7,203.91
and the mileage of interurban
lines was 1888, the number oil
miles of interurban roads being a
little more than onefourth as
great as the mileage of steam
roads.
On the other hand, the number
of persons of all classes killed or
interurban roads in 1907 was only
about one-seventh as great ais the
number killed on steam roads
The total number of deaths ON in
terurban roads during the year
was As and the total number Oh
steam roads was BAG.
There is one noticeable feature
in the comparative figures, and
that is the proportionately great
number of interurban passengers
who lost their lives. Ten paSsen-
gers were killed on steam roads
during the year and five on inter
urban lines. 1t is seen, therefore
that, while the total number O
deaths on interurban lines wa:
only about one-Seventh the mum
Der killed on steam lines, the
number of passengers killed OF
interurban roads was only half a,
great as the number of passeng
ers killed on steam roads. On,
passenger in every 12.600,000 wa,
killed on steam roads, while on,
IN every 100000 was killed OF
intrurban lines.
The number of travellers on
highways killed by steam trains
was 20, while the number of thu
class killed by interurban traint
was 23, the proportion beins
about one to three, and the steam
roads having the best of the com
parison in this class. In the mum
Der of employees and trespasser
killed, however, the interurbaI
roads have decidedly the better o
ihe comparison. The Number o
employees killed during the yea
on steam lines was 1O5 and tn
number on interurban lines onl,
), II times as many being killet
on steam lines as on inrerurbal
lines. The number OF trespasser
killed on steam roads was 16
and the, number on electric line
was IL.
The number of persons injure,
on steam and interurban lines i
in closer proportion to the mile
age. The number injured oil
steam lines during the year wa
,407, and the number on electri
lines 229, the proportion being
about one to seven.
