president of the Jackson County Medical
Society last fall.
Hyde has become popular with the
prisoners at the Jail. He is an hon.

fee when the regular cost is but 30
cents. The doctor also plays cards with

Cummins Rejects Compromise.

Mr.. Cummins arose TO speak on his
amendment Senators AIdrich and Elkins
hurried about on the floor, and there was
a great deal Of confusion. Finally Mr..
Clapp complained of the lack of order.
On his desk and on those OF La Toilette.
Dolliver and Bristow were piled books
and papers. indicating that they expected
to speak at length.
''Will you accept the House provision
designating parties to suits?' asked Sem
ator Elkins.
Positively not" replied Mr.. Cummins
Several propositions looking to a COM
promise We're made in vain. Most Of
them had come from the regulars led by

by Cummins and the other progressives

Under the White House dictum deliver

the supporters of the administration bill

Willingness to accept the progressives'
view as to the defense of suits if they
would consent to the withdrawal of the
Cummins amendment to prohibit the in

prior approval of the interstate commerce
commission.
Senator Cummins following was obdu-

out for the commissions approval. This
declaration would appear to make certain

A TALE Of THE AIR

Everybody interested in aerial

recent wreck of the Zeppelin Deutch-
land, the giant dirigible balloon, car
rying many passengers, in the Teuto-
berger forest. Writing in the Lon

was among those present. de-
scribes the accident graphically-tne
nine hours battle with the hurricane
the fall through 1000 feet of empty
air, the cool courage of the crew,
veterans of the air, headed by Herr
Colsmann, director of the company,
big fellow with cheeks Scared by
the schlager slashes he received IN
the duels of his student days.
But most interesting is the &C
count of the ascension. He says as
he went up from the sandy heath
at RuesseIdorf he was prepared for
a sensation. He had imagined that
the rush skyward would be like go

stead, however, it was so gentle that

GOLD is BECOMING CHEAP
THE ECONOMISTS CLAIM TO BE
ALARMED OVER SITUATION.
Gold Dollar That Bought 100 Cents
Worth of Stuff in 1896 Now Buys
Only IS. % Cents Worth.

Worth of Stuff in 1896 Now Buys
Only 1922 Cents Worth.
Gold is getting to be a cheap old
metal anyhow. This is simply an
! other way of stating that old phrase
which we are all beginning to tire
of, the increased cost of living
The reason for the cheapness of
gold is the reason that is usually
found back of the cheapness of any
thing-it is getting too plentiful,
too common. The gold dollar that
purchased 100 cents worth of stuff
in 1896 will now buy only 68.22
cents worth, and it's real value is
but little more than was the real
the political speakers called it the
intrinsic value of the despised
silver cart wheel in that memorable
1896 campaign.
The fall in the value of gold, how
ever, has not kept pace with the in
crease in quantity. Since 1894 the
supply of gold in the world has more
than doubled, while the value has
fallen only about SO per cent. In
1894 the total supply of gold in the
world was worth S4,190, 700.
Since that time there has been added
$4,000, 900. Since 1894 practi-
cally every nation has adopted the
gold monetary standard, fixing gold
as the only standard of value, and
RELOCATING silver to a subordinate po-
sition.
Prior to that time the search for
silver mines and FOR means of ex-
tracing silver was about as remun-
erative as the search for gold. Since
that time the silver mining industry
has been almost at a standstiIl, and
mans ingenuity and patience have
been directed toward the finding of
gold. Discovery of new gold de-
pOsits, invention of new methods of
extracting the ore, etc., have re-
suited in an enormous increase in
the worlds supply Of the precious
metal. The economists are becom-
ing mildly alarmed over the situa-
ton. They are beginning to clam
or for some other means of arriv-
ing at a fixed standard of value.
since gold has gone back on them.
J. Pierce Norton, professor of
economics at Yale, predicts that "by
1854 g old dollar may not be worth
in commodities 20 cents" He wants
an absolute standard of value" or
one as nearly absolute as human in
genuity can make it, and says that
Ia permanent remedy for present con
ditions can come only through q
new standard Of value based on all
commodities. T" Other economists
partially agree with him as the rem
edy, and wholly agree with him as
to the present condition.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
A Modest Hero Gets Gold Medal
From Uncle Sam.

After 80 years of waiting James
Cummings of Custer, Mich, a quiet
hero, too modest to tell of his own
bravery, has received from the treas
ury department a gold medal for his
part in saving A lives from the
wreck of the Grain barge Rutler, off
Ludington, Mich, on November /,
1873. !"
Cummings was engineer on the
government harbor tug Colonel Ora
ham. In raw November gale the
Rutler went down in IS feet of
water, when the cargo shifted and
drove the crew of A into the rig
ging. There the men hung night
and a day, the icy water breaking
over them.
When Captain Frederick Ken,
drick of the Graham volunteered 10
tow a lifeboat cut to the wreck qnd
the masters of sturdier craft had
shook their heads and declared it a
lost hope Cummings, down in the
dark hold of the tug, stood by this
throttle and encouraged his firemen,
In a sea that threatened to swamp
the tug and carried off the lifeboat
they fought to the lee side of the
wreck and took off the men.

BIG CROP OF .LOvE APPLES"
Tomato Crop on Sixth of an Acre
Sells For $500.

In Iowa a man near Hampton sold
$4,000 worth of potatoes this year,
produced on so acres; two brothers
at Fort Dodge sold $4,000 worth of
onions raised on six acres, but a
Belle PLANE gardener far exceeded
these records on a patch of tomatoes
irrigated during the dry period by
the free running artesian wells.
On one-sixth of an acre he pro-
duced tomatoes which he has sold
for about $400, and is still picking,
there having been no frost there as
yet. He got the love apples" to
the market when the price was high
early in the season. This is at the
rate of $4,000 gross for one acre Of
Iowa soil, with little irrigation at
the critical time.

Capt. Allen succeeded his father
in the business and conducted the
paper till the war came on, when
he closed the office and went to
war with his compositors. During
the war he was shot at Boonville
through the right breast and also
through his neck and left for dead
but he rallied and grew strong
again. He then bought print

a paper in st. Louis, but for fear
of it being captured took the outN
