Surrounded last night by a posse of
angry farmers, armed with rifles, shot
guns and revolvers, and held at bay in

hanson farm, near Economy, Jim Mil
ler, aged A., hailing from Hartford
City, was finally taken in custody by
Chief of Police Gormon and Sheriff
Steen. Miller had gazed into the muz-
zles of various firearms from II p. m.
until about 2 a. m. The man was al
legged to have chased horses around
the field, trying to catch one of them,
and was suspected of horse thieving.
Tall, deeply tanned from exposure,
powerfully built, Miller presents a
splendid appearance. He says he has
small sum in the bank, the location
of which he will not reveal, and he al
SO alleges he owns acre farm in
Arkansas, which he purchased some
time ago. He seems to know many peo-
pie at Hartford City, and the police
have communicated with the suthori-
ties there in an effort to learn some
thing of his character. He says he
works as a farm hand during the sum-
mer and roams over the country in
the winter. He carried two large wheat
sacks filled to the brim with odds and
ends of clothing and personal effects.
Miller spent yesterday in Economy.
where he said he was looking for
work. People were curious about him.
Last night it was reported he was
chasing horses about the field on the
farm of Will Williamson. The alarm
was given that a horse thief was ION
the job" and farmers. to the number
of a dozen, hastily armed themselves,
traced the man to a fence corner and
threatening to "blow his head off"
kept him cornered over two hours.
He will be held until information
concerning him can be secured. He ex-
plains last nights occurrence by say
ing he was trying to sleep in a pas
ture and had walked around a good
deal, hunting a place where he could
rest peacefully. He disclaims any
knowledge of horse thieving. He says
he is a globe trotter.

come a combination OF diverging In
terests before the convention 20 nomi-
nate and settle the fight. He thorough
ly analized the case. As the conven-
ton now stands there are three con-

cal progressiyes. The second Is the
Clark element, containing both pro-
sressives and conservatives. The third

COMMISSIONER is
GIVEN A CALLING

Street Commissioner Gem was haul
ed over the Goals this morning by city
officials for not preventing the oil
men now working on the streets from
raising so much dust. Complaints
have been many, because Davis, an oil
contractor uses large brush to
sweep the streets, and does not
sprinkle the street first. The conse-
quent clouds of dust are said to be so
thick that rocks could not be thrown
through them. The contractors are al
so alleged to neglect hauling away the
dirt which they pile up along the edg-
es of the cutters after oiling, leaving
the dirt to be washed down the sew
ers and to clog up the inlets. Gem
promised he would see that the nuis-
ance was abated, and that he would
give the oil men their orders

Bryan on The Tarif.
The most important feature OF the
platform will be the planks on tariff
and money. Mr.. Bryan wrote both OF
these planks. The tariff plank declares
FOR an immediate downward revision
OF the present high protective tariff.
Especially upon the necessities of life.
and the removal of duty upon these
commodities which are controlled by
the trusts and cheaper abroad than az
home
II also declares that the Federal
government has no right to impose tar
in duties except for the purpose of rev.
enue and that the collection should be
limited TO the necessities of the gov
eminent when honestly and econo-
rnically administered. In this same con-
lection President Taft's administra-
ton and the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
will be severely arraigned.

There is indulgence on the part OF
the Democratic press in comparing
wages OF one foreign country with
those of anotAer. but they touch
very lightly, L Eat all, ON the COM
parsons between wages in this eoun-
try and those of foreign countries.
There is a reason why they do not
dwell on the subject. They fear the
truth as terseIy given IN the follow
ing letter to the New York Herald
by John H. Baum, of Trenton, n. j..
who recently returned from abroad:
In an analysis of the prices paid
bricklayers it will be found, think.
that one bricklayer in New York
City receives nearly the price OF
three bricklayers in London.
Outside OF rents the New York
bricklayer can give to his family
those material comforts which, the
London bricklayer can never possi=
bly, hope for. The difference in con-
ditions was brought home to me
when on leaving for England the
American porter carrying my valise
on the steamship had a patch on his
overaIls. At Liverpool the man car
rying the same vaIise on the same
steamer had a, patch on patch ON

It would hardly seem wise to
throw down our present great pros
perity. we have no lesson to learn

good wages are concerned.

The BIuefeld Bank.

Democratic newspapers seek to
prejudice voters in this campaign
by making misrepresentation con
corning the failure OF the Fidelity
Trust Company at Blueaeld few
months ago. They refer to it as
that bank scandal and then they
print such things as the following;
"Eighty-hve thousand dollars OF
the states money was deposited in
a shaky bank at BluefeId. The
bank failed through the speculative
tendencies of its promoter. mem-
Der of the governors STAN, and the
state has recovered none Of its
money. The state treasurer was a
heavy stockholder in the bank. He
is asking reelection"
The facts are that the state has
not lost a penny by, the failure OF
the Fidelity Trust Company, at Blue
field, and it is not expected that IT
will sustain any loss. The deposit
was secured by a bond of$15O. 600.
The money in this bank was placed
there in the same way that the
states money is distributed among
its repositories in all parts of the
state. There are 165 of these de-
positories. The money is distrib-
uted by order of the board OF pub
lie works. as it sees lit, and secured
by ample bonds. Mr.. Long was
stockholder in this bank before he
ever thought of running for treas
urer four years ago. He lost per-
sonaHy $4,000 by reason of the fail
ure. 1t was the order he. himself
issued to withdraw the money from
this bank which caused its collapse.
He knew no more about the unsafe
condition of the bank than anybody
else.
One man in Blueaeld bought $2O.-
900 worth of stock a week before
thu bank failed. Another merchant
transferred his account to this bank,
