new COIN
ADOPTED
And MintS Are Now All
Busy on Their
Coinage

WASHINGTON. Nov. 6-The mints
of Philadelphia, San Francisco and
Denver today began coming new IS
gold pieces struck on a different plan
from any heretofore coined in the
world.
1t follows an idea expressed to
President Roosevelt by DIR. William
Sturgis Bigelow of Boston that to per
NIT the coins being piled to a uni
form height, a high or strong relief
might be obtained by depression the
design below the field or face of the
coin, instead of raising it above, as
usual in all coinage operations.
This would provide a fiat field and
a uniform thickness, the Hat surface
taking the wear and protecting the
relief, the shape of the depression
following the outline Of the relief.
The same design will be used on
the two and a half dollar pieces. and
all will bear the I'm God We Trust
motto.

MRS. r. F. SMYTH
VICTIMOFACCIDENT
Clothes Caught on Fire While
Burning Leaves. Husband: is
Badly Buried in Efforts to Aid
Burning Wife and Child

One Of the saddest and worst ac-
cidents that has happened in this
community In many years occurred
today and AZ result Mrs. Robert
Smyth lies at the point Of death
and her husband IL badly burned
about the face and hands.
About eleven O'Clock today Mr..
Smyth was In tn back yard OF his
home on the prison road and was
raking up the leaves and burning
them. His wife with their baby in
her arms was standing in the yard
watching the small bonfire made by
the burning leaves. A sudden gust Of
wind struck the small fire and blew
the burning leaves on q shed In the
rear OF the yard owned by Harry Liv-
ingston. The roof Of the shed was
covered with leaves and branches
from the trees and instantly was on
Are. Mrs. Smyth was hemmed in by
the bonfire and the burning shed and
attempted to reach the house. As
she passed the bonfire the fire caught
her skirts and instantly she was wrap
ped In flames.
Holding her baby tight to her
breast she rushed for the house and
into the bedroom where she threw
herself on the bed. pulling the bed
clothes over herself and child in an
effort to smother the flames. Her
clothes were burning too rapidly for
this to prove Of any avail and the
bed was soon on fire. Her husband
followed her into the house and
worked hard to extinguish the flames.
Harry Livingston also appeared on
the scene and grabbing the bed
clothes tossed them out into the yard
at the same time taking the child
from the mother and saving its life.
As soon as the flames were ex-
tinguished medical aid was summon
ed and Drs. Circle and Won Radesky
were soon ON the scene. An exami-
nation showed that the young women
was burned about the body in a hor-
rible manner and although every
thing Is being done for the sufferer
the physicians hold out few hopes Of
recovery. Mr.. Smyth was also badly
burned about the hands and face In
his efforts to aid his wife and ex-
tinguish the flames that we're rapidly
burning her to death. While his in
juries are very painful 1t Is not
thought that they will prove OF seri-
Gus nature.
Both of the injured people are well
known residents Of this city Mira
sn,yth being formerly Miss Arde'l
liotelling and las grown to woman
l,uod here. The accident is one o;
the ssddest that has occurred IN this

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 6.-Wm. Jen-
nings Bryan today issued the follow
ing statement:
"The election has gone against us
by a decisive majority. rhe returns
are not all in and it is impossible at
the present time to analyze or to say
what causes contributed most to the
Republican victory. We made our
fight upon a platform which embodles
what we believed to be good for the
American people, but it is for the peo-
pie themselves to decide what laws
they desire and what methods OF gov
ernment they prefer. l have faith
that the publicity which we asked for
will yet commend itself to the Ameri-
can people; the election of Senators
by the people will be secured; iniquit-
les of the trust will arouse an Oppo-
sitiOn that will result in the elimina-
tion of the principle of private mon
opolies. l am confident that the peo-
pie will see the necessity for the
labor legislation and the tariff re-
duction which our platform demand
ed. l am confident, too, that the edu-
work done in this campaign
will result in securing greater pro-
lection to bank depositors. The above
are the most prominent reforms for
which we iabored and believe that
these reforms will yet come together
with more effective regulation OF rail
roads and independence for the Phil
lippines.

man and with the members ol The

The nomination came from th.;
hands Of the voters; l have obeyed

YOUNG WOMAN
BURNED TO DEATH
RUNAWAY
COUPLE
Married Here YESTERDAY
But Have Lifetime
to Spare

Millard w. Kearns and Miss Bon.
ME E. Waits were married in this
city yesterday afternoon by Rev. Hor-
naday of the Methodist Church and
herein lies story. The young peo-
pie are both residents of Reno and
when they desired to wed there were
objections galore from the parents of
the bride to be. The objections were
strenuous that it necessitated a run
away match if there was to be any
thing doing. This was decided upon
and yesterday morning the couple
took the passenger at Reno and upon
arriving here presented themselves
to Clerk Patterson and representing
themselves as residents OF San Fran
cisco secured license to wed. They
lost no time in reaching the residence
of Rev. Hornaday and the knot was
tied. This part of the game was
hardly completed thoroughly when a
telephone message was received by
PATTERSON fOrblddlng him to issue a
license to the couple and if the same
had been issued to stop the wedding.
At the other end of the line was the
parents of bride and they were some
warm over the affair. But the mess
age came to late and when the clerk
got busy the best he could do was
to congratulate the couple and wish
them the best in the world. The
couple are well known in Reno, the
bride being a sister of Professor
Waits formerly principal of the Doug
lass county school. The couple have
returned to Reno for the PARENTAL
blessing which undoubtedly will be
forthcoming since the deed is done
