FIFTY Year 81 American Gold.

New York World: Amid the page
antry which nowadays makes histori-
cal memories more 'ivid, Stockton,
Cal, has begun the celebration of fifty
years of California gold.
Not five years had passed since
great senators were arguing in Wash
ington for the abandonment to Eng
land of part Of our Pacific gold at
Suffers Mill turned the worlds at
tention to California, and from evrey
nation flood Of energetic men poured
in upon it. A Californian population
Of less than 10000 in 1s49 had grown
to more than 100000 1 1851, when the
Civil war broke, and this swift peopl-
ing Of the farthest west was not with
out effect upon the fortunes of ;.Ie war.
The discovery of gold FASTENED the
examination of heb bison and the
tanning Of the Indians. It hastened
by many years the building OF the
pacific railways There is not a state
in the Union that is not more popu-
lous and prosperous for the discovery.
From the breaking UP of the Roman
empire and the curbing of the Byzan-
tine power Of the Turks down to 1892
the worlds stock Of precious metals
probably decreased. Economically that
meant low prices for goods and labor.
From 1892 to 1S4S the entire world
produced roughly three billions in
gold The next four decades produced
more thcn the preceding four centuries
had done The total in those forty
years was nearly five billions. Since
1890 another five billions has been pro-
duced, the United States doubling its
annual yield of twenty years ago and
South Africa greatly aiding. The pro-
duction of silver has likewise increas-
ed, though not in equal ratio.
This vast growth Of the worlds bull
lion in twenty years has much to do
with the worldwide phenomenon of
rising prices.

SETTLE AN old DISPUTE
Trouble Started Six Years AGO in
South America May BE Settled
in Moorhead.

Fergus Falls Journal: Leonard
Ericsson leaves for Fargo this after
noon to try very interesting lawsuit.
Years ago, two peddlers, M. Kosem
and H. MerFby, spent summer peddl-
ing in South America. They worked
through the Argentine republic, had
fair success, and at the end of the
season found that they had about $500
on hand. They agreed upon a divis-
ion, and for convenience, put the
money into a single draft which
Kosem claims he allowed Merby to
carry. He claims further that Merby
disappeared with the draft and that
he saw nothing further of him for
about six years. In the course of
time, he left South America and fn-
ally reached this city Here he learn
ed that Merby had opened a store at
Fargo, and going there he demanded
his share of the money He claims
that Merby paid him $12, and he is
now bringing suit for the balance,
amounting to $246. The suit is to be
tried tomorrow unless a settlement is
made.

MRS. EGGE BREAKS DOWN
ON THE WITNESS STAND
Wife Of Murdered Man Completely Overcome and Gives Way
to Paroxysm Of Grief--Rea Fight in Kethman
Trial Started Today

cross examined by Att -uey Nye as to
details and distances from point to
point and their accuracy shown on the
plat hanging in front Of the jury box.
In the examination of Engineer
Hopeman the defense possibly gave the
first glimpse as to what the line OF
defense would be. 1t seemed to be that
the distance between the saloon Of
Hollle Walters and the place of the
murder could not be traversed in the
time the evidence begins to indicate,
ard further, that the environments
about the scene Of the murder are
such as to throw doubt upon possible
Identification.
After Engineer Hopeman had left the
witness stand Assistant Attorney Gem
eral Smith called for Mrs. Egge.
Undertaken Wright Testifies.
After Mrs. Egge was excused the
state called A. . Wright OF the under
taking firm of Beck & Wright. The
witness was examined by County At
torney johnson and he in substance
told the story Of his leaving his store
about IL o'clock the night in question,
the route he took to his home, sos
Second avenue south and of his meet
ing a man as he went along and the
mans actions. Mr.. Wright continuing
told of his reaching his porch and
heard what his daughter had to say
about a form she had seen from the
porch OF the residence and how he
turned and saw further actions of the
man he had seen going home and that
in a moment or two afterwards he
heard blows and saw a man at the
corner OF the street rise to his feet
and move away. Mr.. Wright then told
of seeing persons stop at the corner,
and feeling that something had hap
pened he went over to the place and
later identified the body OF DIR. Egge
with his face beaten to a pulp, The
witness then described what was done
and that ultimately the body was turn
ed over to him as undertaken by Cor
oner Vincent.
At the conclusion OF the direct ex-
animation Of Mr.. Wright the court or
dered a recess for fifteen minutes and
at press time Mr.. Wright was under
a severe ordeal Of cross examination
by Attorney Nye.

RIskEp HEB NINE LIVES.
Moment of Great Peril for One of
Pittsburg's Cats.

feet 1t ISIS efficient to give many per-
sons the creeps just to look out of the
window to the thoroughfares below.
For this reason, Observer M. B. sum
mers was given fright the other day
when he observed the official cat of the
building summing herself at the very
edge of one of the window lodges. He
was almost afraid to move at first for
fear Of frightening the cat into taking
a step that would result in her falling.
So he began moving toward the ami
NAL very cautiously. The cat was a
favorite and he was particularly anx-
ious to save her.
The cat. however, thought Mr.. Sum
mers wanted to play, and she made a
leap which took her comparatively out
of sight The frightened observer felt
that it was all over with the pussy and
he hurried to the window, and there
was the cat perched on the ledge as
comfortable as you please. She must
have jumped nearly eight feet. along
the side of the vail, hundreds of feet
above the street

VICTIM, TOOK THE STAND.

Reaching there she lifted her veil and
then her right hand. simultaneously
with the beginning Of the reciting OF
the words Of the oath by the clerk,
Mrs. Egge broke into a paroxsym of
tears. she made a brave effort to re-
cover and did so to bow assent TO what
was said. Turning she moved to the
witness chair and when seated she
broke into bitter crying and sobs could
be heard all over the large room. The
deepest sympathy was depicted upon
the faces OF the Judge and jury and
attorneys turned or dropped their
heads. The deep sobbing continued,
when finally Judge Taylor bent over
towards the grief stricken witness and
said, "the witness is excused for a
time" Mrs. Egge left the chair and
walked over to her friends and with
them retired TO one Of the outer rooms.

ster meetings held here this week

of Broad and Race streets. More than
1900 men were in attendance. There
was az entire absence of the emotional
element, which in the minds of many
outside the Christian churches-and
some inside-is the chief characteristic
Of religious movements.
Here 1t could be seen was no ephem-
eral movement, but something with the
weight of American good sense beaind
It, and its purpose is to "evangelize the
world in this generation" This might
seem an impossible task, and scoffers
could easily point to the teeming mill
lions of Asia and other continents, and
ask If in all sincerity the leaders in
this laymens missionary movement
believe the world can be evangelical
in a single generation. after nearly
1000 years of work has left the larger
part of the world in ignorance of
christianity?
After a supper was served, the
chairman of the local committee Ed
ward Fl. Bonsall, vice president of the
Land Title and Trust company, asked
that the convention send message of
greeting to the Baltimore convention.
The following greeting was wired:

Dramatic cansorshin.

Boston Herald The joint commit
tee of the Lords and Commons, APP
pointed last spring to consider aboli-
ton or retention of censorship Of plays,
after hearings that have been many
and prolonged, has reported adversely
on the proposition to abolish the office.
The examiner Of plays henceforth is to
be re- enforced with advisors with more
varied experience and wider outlook
than one man can possibly have; and
the functions OF the joint body of
guardians are to extend over forms of
dramatic and musical entertainment
that hitherto have gone unmatched and
unrestrained. The combined influence
of managers, who. as a rule, have OPP
posed for prudential reasons the risks
involved In judicial interference after
plays were staged, and Of the reliious
and ethical elements Of the public who
are hostile to unreslrained production,
has been stronger than the aruments

like G. b. Shaw, who hht censorship
as form Of tyranny over their art.

The presence of quite a number of
minors during the opening days of the

judge glanced frequently over the au-

no evidence particularly strong, vet
the descriptions Of certain occurrences
were OF such nature that they were
not conducive to purity of thought to
young minds. The attendance of min
