 Yes; number of times. He was silly enough to do it, and I let him.

 Then Mrs. Ferrall deliberately set tied down in her furs to extract from the girl beside her every essential de- tail, and the girl, frank at first, grew shy and silent-reticent enough to wor- ry her friend into q silence which last ed long while for cheerful little matron of her sort.

UPHELD BY GOOD LAWYERS.

In his speech of acceptance MI
Taft, referring to the suggestion that
trial by jury be required in all cases
of indirect contempt, says: Never
in the history of the country has there
been such an insidious attack upon
the judicial system as the proposal
to interject jury trial between all
orders of the court made after full
hearing and the enforcement of such
orders"
But the United States senate in
June, 1896, undertook to make just
such provision. Senator Plat of
Connecticut was the only Republican
to speak against it. John Sherman of
Ohio, William B. Allison of Iowa, Eu-
gene Hale of Maine, Joseph B. Hawley
of Connecticut, Justin S. Morrill, of Yer
mont, Knute Nelson Of Minnesota and
Francis f. Warren of Wyoming were
among the Republican senators pre-
sent when this bill passed. Presum-
ably they voted for it. There was no
roll call At least they did not vote
against it nor did they speak against
it.
In the senate at the time and vot-
ing for this measure there were-be-
sides the distinguished Republicans
above named-such good lawyers as
David B. Hill of New York, Senator
Villas of Wisconsin, Senator Pugh Of
Alabama, Senator George of Missis-
sippi, and VIM. V. Allen of Nebraska.
Does any Republican believe that
n
gene Hale, Joseph B. Hawley, Justin
S. Morrill,, Knute Nelson, all distin-
guished Republicans, would either cast
their vote for or by their silence ,ac-
quiesce in IAN insidious attack upon
the judicial system?"
Does any one believe that lawyers
like Senators Villas, Allen, Hill, Pugh
and George would participate in "an
insidious attack upon the judicial sys-
tenn"

Each one of the principal ingredients

The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis

A rope was lowered and bound
about her, tying her arms so she could
not unfasten the knots. She was
then drawn up to the bridge and
held by the motorman and passen-
gers while Davis was brought up from
the river bank. The woman, still
screaming and begging to be allowed
to die, was hurried to Edgewater fer

Later she was taken to her home and

Miss Kreger was deceived about IS
months ago by married man of Lee
onia, who had represented to her he
was single and who was attentive to
her, and had promised to make her
his wife.
When her child was born there was
scandal i'll Palisade Park, where the
kregers are highly respected. One
night a few weeks after the birth of
the child, Miss Kreger slipped from
her home and placed the infant on the
doorsteps of the married mans home.
1t was found next morning by his wife
and taken to the Englewood hospital.
The whole scandal then became
known, and Miss Kreger's father went
in search of the Leonia man, whose
name was said to be Van Brunt, and
who was employed by a New York
mercantile house as a traveller. For
two or three days the father lay in
wait for him. He encountered him on
the street, one night, when Van Brunt
was bound home, and fired three shots
at him. Van Brunt took to his heels
and escaped injury
The next day the Van Brunts moved
from Leonia and 10 one knows what
became of them.

FROM THE
.COMMONER
MR.. BRYAN'S. PAPER
MR.. TAFT AND GUARANTEED
DEPOSITS.

In his speech OF Acceptance Mr..
1ift puts h1mseif sQuaTely on record
as being opposed to guaranteed depo-
| sits. He says: The Democratic plat
form recommends a tax upon national
banks and upon such state banks as
may come in, in the nature of en-
! forced insurance to raise a guaranty
fund to pay the depositors of any bank
which fails. The proposal is wholly
impracticable unless it is to be ac-
companied by a complete revolution
IN our banking system, with super
vision so close as practically TO ere
ate a government bank. If the pro-
posal were adopted exactly as the
Democratic platform suggests, it would
bring the whole banking system of the
country down in ruin"
Why seek to confuse the people on
simple proposition? We are sup
posed to have government supervision
OF national banks now. Superyision
does not mean a government bank; it
simply means that the national bank
inspectors will do just as they are
expected to do under existing law
make their examination Of banks
thorough and make prompt and effec-
tive correction of any irregularities
discovered. So it will be difficult to
brighten the people by the claim that
guaranteed deposits means thorough
supervision of banks. That's just ex-
actly what the people want.
1t is absurd to say that guaranteed
deposits would bring the whole bank
ing system of the country down to
ruin
What does guaranteed deposits"
mean? 1t means that the savings of
the masses shall be secured so that
when men and women deposit their
hard-earned money in banking insti-
tut1ons, they need not worry for fear
1t will be lost through the reckless
ness and dishonesty of bank officials.
The federal government demands of
these banks security for the money il
deposits. AS a rule state governments
and county governments and munich
pal governments make similar require
ments. But now that it is proposed
that depositors generally shall have
NNAN SUN dIlCS the SAFE
Keeping of their wealth, we are told
by the Republican candidate for the
presidency that the adoption of such
plan would bring the whole bank
Ding system of the country down to
ruin"
1t is to save the banking business
and to save the peoples money that
the plan of guaranteed deposits is
advocated by Democrats. 1t is strange
that Mr.. Taft and the big bankers
for whom he speaks can not see that
the guaranteed deposits system is abb
solutely necessary for the prevention
of panics, for the safe keeping Of the
money of the masses and for the pre-
servation of the banking business in
the hands of individuals.

WITH EVERY HOPE OF SUCCESS.

In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Taft
says: IF l am elected president 1
shall urge upon congress, with every
hope of success that law be passed
requiring the filing in federal office
of statement of the contributions
received by committees and candidates
in elections for members of congress,
and in such other elections as are con-
stitutionally within the control of con-
gress. Meantime the Republican
party by the election of a New York
treasurer has subjected all its receipts
and expenditures to the compulsory
obligation Of such a law
But why with every hope of sue
cess?'
Did the letter Mr. Taft wrote to
Senator Burrows, urging the adoption
of such a law, have any effect upon
the Republican congress?
Did the recommendation of Mr.
Roosevelt have any effect upon the
Republican congress?
The Taft letter and the Roosevelt
recommendation were given to con-
gress while presidential election
was approaching If Republican con-
gress would not act under those cir
cumstances with what reason does Mr..
Taft say that after the presidential
election he would urge a measure
with every hope of success"
The Republican party in national
convention assembled voted down a
publicity plank by "a yeas to $50 nays.
Meantime let it be remembered that
the publicity favored by Mr.. Taft is
an AFTER" election publicity. In
other words, the people will be told
who the financial hackers Of the Re
publican party are when it is too late
for the people to profit by the infor-
nation.

NOT FOR THE INCOME TAX.

Let no one be misled on the theory
that Mr.. Taft has declared for the in
come tax. The following is. from Mr..
Taft's speech of acceptance: 81 be-
lieve that an income tax, when the
protective system of customs and the
internal revenue tax will not furnish
income enough for governmental
needs, can and should be devised"
In other words Mr.. Taft is for an
income tax conditionally. Whenever
the government can not secure enough
revenue through system or taxing
men according to what the eat and
wear, then he would be in favor of
taxing them according to their income.
That's all!

set the pail of milk on the floor in an
outer kitchen, went through the house
to MIR. Sheppard's den, secured his en-
ployer's repeating shot gun, and Sc
creted himself in the parlor.
A few minutes later Mrs. Sheppard
came downstairs in her nightdress
after milk for the baby. She was
within two feet of the first step when
Zastera stepped from his hiding place
and fired charge of shot into hsr
hip. Mrs. Sheppard fell, and the
murderer poured two more loads into
her PROSTATE form.
Sheppard, who was dressing, rushed
10 his wifes aid, when Zastera sent a
charge into his breast. AS Sheppard,
now MORALLY wounded, fell over the
ba4ustrade another shot was fired into
his side.
That there should be no witnesses
10 the tragedy. Zastera then ran to
the kitchen, where Jennie Bendy was
preparing the morning meal. The
girl. who was but 10 years old. had
become alarmed at the shots, and had
started to run when Zastera reached
the kitchen. He shot her through the
heart as she was going out the door
however.
This occurred at $40 in the morn
ing, the time being fixed by Franz
Mcdowell, a neighbor, who heard the
gunshots. However, it was not unit
seven o'clock that news of the tragedy
reached the outside world 1t was neal
that hour when Zastera appeared a
the home of William Wall, neares
neighbor to the Sheppards, and in ;
wildly excited manner informed him
They're all dead over there"
The murderer went back to tn,
scene of the crime, and without sus
picion being directed toward hin
mixed with the crowd of curious PEG
pie until late that afternoon, when De
tectives Cosgrove and Sylvester of
New York agency detected a numbe
of flaws in the story he told. He wa
then detained as a witness in tn,
county Jail at Freehold. That nigh
he was put through the third degree
and confessed.
The ten months old infant whicl
was made an orphan by Zastera ha
been taken by Mr.. Sheppard's moth

its crib unframed.
