Operators Were Caught by
Federal Authorities and
Warrants are Out.

Cleveland. Ohio. Sept. 27.-opera-
tions that netted- James and r. F..
McNicholas brothers nearly $1,000,-
900. have resulted in the issuance Of
warrants against them. charging
them with having us,d the mails to
defraud in the promotion Of mines
in Oregon and Idaho. Postoffice In
spector Edland Clement was expected
to reach Portland, Ore. today to serve
the warrants. which were issued here
a week ago by United States Commis-
sioner Daoust.
The McNicholas brothers. who un-
til two years ago maintained hand
some suite Of offices here and did
large business were interested in a
number Of ventures. but that speci-
fed in the affidavit was the old chan
mel hydraulic mines company, near
Galice. oregon. NJ. B. Deway Of Con-
:: neaut. Ohio, Is named as having re-
ceived through the mails false infor-
nation regarding the property.
The operations Of the men in this
section covered eight years during
! which time stock in six gold and three
! lead mining concerns was sold. Three
, Of the companies for short time
are said to have paid dividends
amounting to as much as and in some
cases six times the amount of the in
! vestment. When the dividends were
paid it is charged the promoters be-
gan exploiting new companies with
larger capitalization ana stock at
higher prices. Finally. after COM

price level. The system here propo..
ed Is. SO far as know, the only one
proposed which is purely self acting.
II the official index number shows a
rise OF prices in any year. say one per
cent: 1t would be mandatory for the
seigniorage. Expressed the other way
about. II gold loses one per cent Of its
value. the mints would nay one per
cent less for It. This would tend al
ways to preserve uniform purchasing
power OF the monetary unit. AS soon
as any depreciation occurred the in

price is fixed; It is f3, lis. iohd nar
ounce Of gold 11-12 fine in England or
1850 per ounce Of gold $50 fine in
the United States. The proposal 10
simply that instead Of always paving
the same money price for gold. no
matter now much 1t appreciates or de-
preciates in purchasing power over
goods. we shall pay exactly what 1t 10
worth. There is no virtue in a fixed
mint price for gold. but there is virtue
IN a nxed purchasing power Of money.
The great fall Of prices ending in
1895 was often referred to as an ap-
probation Of gold. Just as the rise Of
prices since 1896 is often referred to
as depreciation Of gold. In other
Woros. the dollar. the pound sterling,
the franc. the mark and all other
monetary units in gold were increasing
In purchasing power before 1895 and
since 1896 have been decreasing. In
both cases the purchasing power vari-

This continual variation in the real
value Of the dollar is the bane Of busi-
ness. It Is ono Of the sources OF
booms. crises. contractions and de-
pressions by which modern business
men are perpetually vexed. Unfor-
tunately. as yet. the rank and Ale Of
business men do not realize the close
connection between the cycles Of
trade and the instability of the dol

II firmly believe. however. that tho
time must come when business men
throughout the world will feel the
need of a moro stable unit Of value.
Business men appreciate the necessity
of a scientific determination of the

MAKES GOOD ESCAPE

As the result of drunken row
Sunday afternoon at an Italian board.
ing house at Turkey Foot, near VIII
sonburg, Andy Fhellier lies at his
home seriously injured with a deep
wound in one of his shoulders, and
Isaac A. Bayes, his assailant, is at
large, although a warrant has been
issued for his arrest charging him
with feloniously assaulting Fhellier
with intent to kill.
The men were enjoying themselves
around key OF beer, when an argu-
ment arose over some trifing matter
and Bayes grabbed coal pick which
was standing in a corner near him
and struck Fhellier with 1t. The
sharp point of the pick buried deep
into one of the shoulders of Fhellier,
but It did not strike any of the in
ternal organs and 1t is thought that
he will recover.
Fhelliers friends at once swore ont
warrant for Bayess arrest and
Constable Thomas r. Kearns went to
the Bayes home on Turkey Foot.
Going around the house the constable
found that the only way to enter or
leave the house was by the front door
or windows as they we're the only
openings visible. When he raped
upon the door Mrs Bayes asked who
was there. Constable Kearns answered
using the name of a resident of that
place. She told him to wait minute
While waiting for the door to be
opened Constable Kearns heard a
noise at the side Of the house and
saw man running towards the woods
near the rear of the house and gave
chase but in short time the con.
stable lost the man in the woods.
Returning to the house, Constable
Kearns found an opening about one
foot square near the roof on the upper
side Of the house. The distance from
this opening to the ground is about
sixteen feet. Bayes had crawled
through this hole and dropped 10 the
ground, while his wife was talking
to the constable.
All the officers of the nearby towns
have been notified and in all prob
Bayes will be arrested in a
few days.

Eaters and Not Corn Crack
ers Are the People of
This State.

WASHINGTON Jan. 2S.-Accord-
ing to the crop reporter published By
the department of agriculture West
virginians consume an average of
ST. bushels of wheat each in the
course of year. This is largely in
excess of the consumption Of wheat
in the South Atlantic division Of
states and also considerably in ex-
cess of the average for the United
States. In most of the far western
states more wheat is consumed in
proportion to the population than in
West Virginia, but in few of the
other states is this so. The average
for the United States is So bushels,
The greatest consumption of wheat is
in New Mexico where it averages 10
bushels to the person. while the
smallest consumption is four bushels
for Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi
and Arkansas. From these figures i
will be seen that West virginian'
are great wheat consumers and arr
rot to be classed among the corr
crackers OF the far south.
