TO SkvE G5VERNMENT
A MILLION A YEAR.
Mr.. Sharp Of Ohio Would Issue Uni
form National Ranknotes.

Representative Sharp of Ohio be-
lieves he has hit upon plan that will
save the government $l.OOO.OOO n year
in issuing hanknotes. In f,lrtllerance
of his plan he has introduced reSo-
luton in the house calling on the sec.
rotary Of the treasury to furnish GER
tain information.
my resolution directs the secretary
Of the treasury to submit :ecomnlen.
datiOns for uniform national banknotes
after the style of the gold and silver
certificates" he said recently. "Of the
million dollars expense that IL incur
red for issuing banknotes the govern
ment contributes alont cne-half and
the banks one-half. The national
banks pay for the plates on which
the notes are printed. and the govern.
ment pays the expenses of keeping
record Of the account with the ma
tional banks for the redemption of
these notes. The smaller national
banks are put to an especially heavy
expenditure on this account.
'"Thcre are now over 1000 national
banks in the Emitted States. each of
which requires a different engraving
for it's notes. which represent five or
six denominations Of value. This
makes it necessary for the government
to manufacture and keep in stock an
unusually large number Of plates for
the printing of bankno+es at the bu.
reau of engraving a: 81 rrinting and
requires it to keep on hand also a
large supply of each bill at the treas
ury department for the redemption of
the worn bills.
II believe uniform banknote would
not only work an economy of at
least million dollars a year. but
would also expedite the issue Of these
notes. which is now so slow as to be
source of constant complaint from
the banks"

WAGON DRIVER
FELL UNDER WHEEL
ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF WATER
WAGON DRIVER, WHO WAS
UNDER INFLUENCE OF LIQUOR,
DUE TO DRINK AND QUARREL
WITH COMPANION.

Eugene Barry, aged 26 years, wagon
driver in the employ of Z. d. Cum
mings on the w. A. Scott dairy farm.
met death Saturday afternoon abou,
2:30 o'clock when he fell beneath the
wheels of the milk wagon he was drly-
ing. His body was found two hours
later at the corner Of Fifteenth street
and Seventh avenue south. The
horses, still hitched to the wagon. wera
found standing still some distance
away in Il field on the western edge
of the city's limits.
On examination it was found that
when Barry's head struck the ground
one of the wheels of his wagon crossed
his neck SeVering the jugular vein. Ii:s
death was thought to have been
instantaneous.
Several stories are in circulation
concerning the in which the
man met his death. He eft the Scott
farm at IL o'clock Saturday morning
and had he attended to all his de-
liveries INT errands promptly he woIij
have reported at the farm again with
in an hour. Instead he drove to Moor
head where he imbibed quite freely
1t is understood that II was his inten-
ton to quit his job that night and his
purpose in drinking was TO summon
enough courage to Inform Mr.. Cum
mings of his intention, which he is said
to have lacked in a sober condition.
An unknown friend. also reported to
have been in the same condition, is
said to have joined him and together
they started put for the Scott farm.
One of the horses was decidedly frac-
tious and it was understood the twd
men got to wrangling and in their
dispute Barry fell out and the wheels
ran over his neck.
His home is IN Brooks, Mimi, though
no word has been received from there
by Undertaken Wasem who was called
to prepare the body for burial. The
unknown companion has made his es-
cape and was not with the wagon
when it was found about 4:30 o'clock
in the afternoon.
