man and owner Of the Chicago Ledger

Marquis. of Eureka. The Judge was
Of the opinion that the love for money,
when proving stronger than the love
sworn at the altar, constitutes cruelty,
and granted the decree on those
grounds.
Mr.. Boyce attracted considerable at
tention in the fall of 1906 when he sub
mitted a proposition to the United
States Postal Commission to take over
the postal service .of the United
States. He offered to put up bonds
Of S50,000,000 as a guarantee and stipu-
lated that he would decrease the ex-
listing rates of postage fully one-half.
In addition Mr. Boyce agreed to give
the Government all the profits exceed

Lisbon Regarding Death
Of Carlos

Lisbon July DIR. Jose Maria De
Alpoim, chief of the progressive dis
sidents, smarting under the insinua-
tion that he was implicated in the
assassination in Lisbon last Febru,
airy Of King Carlos and Crown Prince
Luiz, created a sensation in the house
of lords today by revealing what he
declared to be the true history Of this
regicide plot.
He asserted that the assassination
had been decided upon at meeting
of the leaders Of the progressive and
regeneration party a few days before
they were carried out. DIR. Alpoim
charged further that the Republicans
proposed to obliterate the entire royal
family with the exception Of Maria
Pia, mother of King Carlos, but tina,
the monarchists insisted that such q
general slaughter would besusele
Finally Manuel Silva Buesen and
Alfredo Costa were given SIC, 900 and
$4,000 respectively to kill King Car
los and Premier Franco Arrange
ments were made by other men Il
cover the fight of the assassins, but
when Buisen and Costa fired, theil
friends lost their heads and opened
fire also. These shots resulted in thu
death Of Crown Prince LUZ. .

And money is go-between in indi-
rect barter: So we have our present
system. Credit being a promise to-
pay money, in fact an unconditional
contract to pay money, it can be pre-.
served in its integrity only by paying
money. 'S
A Bimetallism - w hateyer theory
was held in regard to bimeta1lism or
recommendation our standard today
is gold. Gold is the test Of solvency
in the world s markets. Whether
the world will one day go on the BIZ
metallism basis, or should go on this
basis, is, of course, a very debatable
question. We must accommodate
ourselves to the present fact that to-
day the great powers, without a sin
gle exception, have but one money,
namely gold, and that silver and pa
per are merely credit, promises to
pay gold.

street. Banks are interd dependent

of North Dakota to overlook its de

this. We hear talk and read maya

S. Sherman was made the occasion
of such demonstration as has rare

state. The welcome to the Republic
can candidate for vice president was
a non-partisian affair and to a great
extent, the recovering Of the candi-
date from his recent somewhat
alarming illness, gave additional rea-
SON for public rejoicing on his safe
return.
Mr.. Sherman, accompanied by Mrs.
Sherman and DR.. Carter, reached
here on the New York express from
the west at 9:18 o'clock this even
ing. AS the train drew into the sta

set off and church chimes rang out.

adjacent to the New York Central

looking pale and worn. But he stood

SHARKS HAD
SQUARE. !. MEAL
600 People Drowned or Eaten
by Sharks in Storm
at Batavia

Victoria. B. G., July News Of a
boat disaster involving the loss of
more than 500 lives at Batavia was
brought by the Empress of China.
Many large osrloaded boats were
overturned In the harbor during a
storm and the shrieking passengers
struggled in the water with no chance
OF rescue, as the more fortunate boats
in the neighborhood were already too
crowded to permit any others aboard
Many OF those in the water were
snapped up by sharke. About thirty
were rescued by fishermen, but over
600. were drowned.
During the week following, 359
corpses were found, many being mu.
tilated by sharks. sS
