AT THE MERCY OF WALL STREET.

Following is from the Omaha World-Herald:
No citizen desiring an understanding of
just what congress did in passing the Aldrich-
Vreeland bill can allow the editorial published
in the Philadelphia North American to go I'M
read That is one Of the very few big repub-
lican newspapers that are not edited from
Wall Street.
The gallant fight the North American made
against the inhiction of this monstrous out
rage on the American people entities it to a
nation s gratitude, even though it was losing
fight, like LaFollettes.
We ask our readers to bear in mind that it
is fearless and honest republican newspaper
that characterizes this currency bill congress
has passed as "embodying every rotten Wall
Street device that lay in the earlier bills, and
discarding every amendment for the protection
of honest banking and legitimate business;
that declares it is a ''stab at the commerce OF
the country" that asserts it was "fosted
upon the people at the dictates of Wall
Street. and brands it as "a mongrel, hybrid,
cheating, swinding thing. ="
We ask our readers to remember that 1T
is republican newspaper that admits this
law twill mean the turning over of the treas
ury Of the United States to the gamblers of
the New York stock exchange for period Of
six years." that it is republican newspaper
asserting cit will mean the making of good
times and bad times, of bull markets and
bear markets according to the pleasure of
Rogers and Rockefeller in the National City
bank, and j. P Morgan in the National Bank
of Commerce.
This is what a republican congress has
given the country as an emergency" meas
ure?
Tie same men who prepared it, and had the
nerve to push it through congress on the eve
of general election, are now at the head Of
the commission that will prepare permanent
currency bill These men are Aldrich, of
Standard Oil, and Vreeland, the New York
banker. The bill they prepare will be enacted
into law, after election, if the republican party
continues to control congress and elects the
next president.
If the Aldrich- Vreeland bill is what they
gave us as Temporary law, and in advance
of election what, in God s name, would they
give us for permanent law, after election,
when they need no longer fear the wrath of q
betrayed people NORTH American Review.

The Wells Murder

Charles II. Ross, the young man shot
at Wells, Thursday, by Dollie Hughes,
colored woman, died at Boiling hos
; pital at $3.50 o'clock Friday night. Dur
ing the afternoon, he made q diving
statement in which he said that he
struck the woman before she shot him.
Coroner Bruce held an inquest this
forenoon, at which Constable Drake of
Wells testified to the woman coming to
his saloon at Wells and stating that she
had killed Charley Ross and giving her
self up. Also that Ross was native of
Arcata, Indiana, aged % years. DIR.
West testified to the nature of the
wounds and that death was caused
by the shock resulting therefrom.
The jury found that the name of the
deceased was Charles II. Ross, O native
Of vATcata, Indiana, aged % years, and
that he came to his death from gunshot
wounds inflicted by Dollie Hughes.
The particulars of the affair are about
as follows: Awhile girl named Lizzie
withfwRom Ross was living, stopped at
the house kept by Dollie Hughes. For
some reason the Hughes woman dis
liked Ross and she told Lizzie that Ross
must stop coming there or she Nizzie)
must leave. Ross came to the house
Thursday and Lizzie told him what the
Hughes woman had said. Ross left the
house, went up town aud proceeded to
get drunk. He returned to the Hughes
house about 8 o'clock at night. The
Hughes woman was in the kitchen get
ting drinks for a party. Ross went to
the kitchen and a quarrel arose between
him and the woman. AS she passed into
the next room with the drinks Ross
struck her. She then returned to the
kitchen and on returning to the room
where Ross and Lizzie were standing
beside each other, she began to shoot
The first bullet went wild, the second
went through one of Lizzie's legs, the
third struck Ross in the abdomen and
the fourth entered his back. Ross ran
out Of the back door and fell about 35
feet from the house.
Constable Drake brought the woman
to the county Jail yesterday and she will
now have to answer to the charge of
murder
The relatives of Ross have been mott
fed of his death and his remains will be
heldsheteuntil they are heard from.

"GLUTEN" BREAD.

Starch.
When starch must be eliminated
from q sick mans diet white bread is
the first thing tabooed, and then fol-
low potatoes and other overcharged
starchy cereals. 1t is a serious mat
ter for the patient to be denied bread,
and so the pathway is smoothed out
and the doctor prescribes "gluten"
bread, because gluten is not car
bohydrate, and gluten" bread is sup
posed to be free from starch.
What is gluten? Well spend ten
minutes and find Out-not all about
it, but something about it. Obtain a
heaping tablespoonful of white -four.
Add little water to it, in saucer,
and dough it into compact ball. Turn
on the tap in the sink and let the wa
ter drip upon your hands as you roll
the ball between your palms. The
ball will grow less and less, and the
water will be white with starch cells
held in suspension. In ten minutes,
more or less, the water will run clean
and clear and you appear to have a
nodule Of yellow, firm, vegetable gum
which you are tempted to call ''phre'
gluten. Become a gum chewer for
once and keep achieving for a cou-
pie Of hours. At the end Of this time
the quantity of gluten is less than

the Winter Palace was wrecked by an

however, was powerless against the
nihilists' bombs of 1881. The emper-
or was returning to the Winter Palace
after a military review when his car
riage was suddenly shattered by a
bomb Several of the escort were kill
ed. but strangely enough the tsar him
self remained unhurt. After inquiring
about the wounded, his majesty, with
phenomenal GOODNESS, continued his
progress on foot. He had advanced
but a few steps when another bomb
exploded at his feet, and mangled his
body in the most frightful manner. He
died few hours later.
From 1872 to 1876 four rulers were
assinated-namely, Colonel Balta,
president of Peru; Moreno, president
Of Ecuador; Gutierrez, president OF
Peru in 1928, and the Sultan Abdul
Aziz. At the time it was given out
that the latter having gone mad, had
committed suicide by cutting the ar
teries Of his arm; but in June, 1881
various high officials, including the
sultan's brother-in-law, were convict
ed of the murder Of the sultan.
Perhaps the most barbarous assas-
sination on record was that Of the
queen of Korea in 1896, when a band
of hired Japanese assassins, backed by
Korean troops, entered the palace and
hacked the queen and two ladies OF
the court to pieces, afterward burning
the bodies with paraffin.

A DESPERATE CHANCE.
Effect of the Excitement of Battle on
a Wounded Man.

"OunOCO
Amos Chapman was fifteen years in
the government employ as a scout on
the plains. During his life of constant
neriI and exposure, writes Mr.. Randall
Parrish in "The Great Plains" one OF
his most heroic deeds was performed
while he was bearing dispatches for
General Miles from his camp on Nc
Clellan creek to Camp Supply, Indian
Territory. The dispatch party consist
ed of six men. Early in the morning
, after a hard nights ride, they were
suddenly attacked near the Washita
river by band Of over a hundre I'd
Kiowa and Comanche warriors. Cap
tain Dodge thus describes what fol-
lowed:
The first intimation of the presence
of Indians was a volley which wound
ed every man of the party. In an in
slant the Indians appeared on al
sides.
DismOunting and abandoning theil
horses. the brave band of whites NOV
ed together for a hundred yards to q
buffalo wallow, a shallow natural de-
preston in the prairie.
Chapman and Dixon, being but
slightly wounded, worked hard and
fast to deepen this depression, and as
soon as it was sufficiently deep to af-
ford some cover it was occupied and
the work continued from within.
Smith had fallen from his horse al
the first fire and was supposed to be
dead. Chapman said, Nov, boys
keep those Internal redskins off me
and will run down and pick up Smith
and bring him back before they car
get at me-"
Laying down his rifle, he sprang ou,
of the buffalo wallOw, ran with al
speed to Smith, seized and attempted
To shoulder him.
Il laid down." said Chapman, "ant
got his chest across my back and his
arms around my neck and then got w
with him. 1t was as much as l could
do to stagger under him, for he coulC
not help himself a bit. BY the time
had got twenty or thirty yards about
fifteen Indians came for me at full
speed on their ponies"
| The boys in the buffalo wallow open

When I was within about twenty
yards of the wallow," he continued
"a little old scoundrel whom l had fec

FATE OF OLD PIANOS.
When They Get So Old You Can't Give
Them Away.

What becomes of all the old pianos
asks the New York Sun.
Any piano dealer will take your old
piano when you want new one and
will allow a substantial credit on 1t,
even if it is of another make. From
time to time the dealers announce
sales of used pianos. All dealers
have large stocks of them on hand
constantly.
One piano firm has on exhibition an
oldrashioned square piano which was
made at least half century ago. This
piano bears a placard to the effect
that anyone who will pay the carriage
may have it for the asking. No one
has accepted the offer.
Suppose no one ever takes that
piano off the hands Of the dealers who
want to get rid of it. What will the
dealers do with it? Obviously with
rents as high as they are it wouldn't
pay to store piano you can't give
away.
SO the question remains: What, in
the last stage of undeSirability, be-
comes of all the old pianos?
