SILVER
MAY co
HIGHER
FaVOrble Outlook for
White Metal

The fractional reaction in silver
metal prices is only to be temporary.
according to the best information OBJ
tainable at this time. Metal mer-
chants in London have advised west
crn producers that everything now
points to a steady and increasing de
mand for the metal. which is sure to
result in much higher prices. Silver
will probably not sell below 90 cents
an ounce again this year and the in
diCatiOnS are that the average price
for the remainder OF 1912 will be in
the n~eighborhoOd OF g to 65 cents.
The statement that the white metal
may command as much as 20 cents
an ounce will no doubt come as a
great surprise to western mine own
ers. and especially TO those who have
not made a careful study OF the ORR
entail situations
The fact remains that thu read

metal and much more than the sur
plus production which has been com
ing in since the price was advanced
between 8 and 9 cents an ounce. As
strange aS it ma seem there is even
more concern about where the supply
is to come from than at any previous
date for a number of years, Natur-
ally there will be a larger output at
20 cents than there i, at present, but
some Of the old producers which have
been forced to close down for year,
by reason Of the low price paid for
silver. could o be shaped up for
mining within a year.
While India j. using more gold in
its currency now than at any previous
time in its history. it is necessary for
it to continue to maintain q large sli-
yer circulation. The demand for a
large silver circulation in that Coun-
try is so great that should there be
any decrease in its reserve It would
bring about serious trouble III TIE al
fairs OF the country, especially ut har-
vest time. when the demand for sill
yer currency is at its height. The
curtaliment Of mining operations IN
Mexico has made a greater reduction
in silver production than the increas-
ed output made in other countries
since the first Of the year.
The production and present rate
of consumption are 50 close together
that there is no question but the re-
cent advances in the price Of silver
are based upon the very sound pr1n-
cipal of supply and demand, There
never has been a time in history when
so much Of this metal was being us
cd in arts and for various trades.
This is simply in line with the gen
eral increase in demand for all com
modities in all parts of the world.

$50 is lie that layeth up treasure for
himself, and is not rich toward God"
After calling attention to the fact
that there never was such a dag Us
ours for the accumulation Of wealth,
Pastor Russell declared that the wealth
itself was not condemned by our Lord,
but the love of it: THE love of money
Is a root of all evil" Nor should He
be understood to be denouncer Of

ventions Of our day had poured wealth
into the lap Of some out Of all proper
ton to their covetousness. Indeed,
some Of the most covetous people the
Pastor knew were poor people who
seemed so anxious to get rich that
their oyerstraining led them into nu-
merous financial pitfalls and kept them
poor. The happiest people in the
world, he said are those who have
goodness with contentment-great
gain" These are rich toward God, for
they possess what money cannot pur-
chase-contcntmcnt and the peace Of
God.
Pastor Russell Reported Wealthy.

CAUGHT AN INSANE MAN
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
John Dumos, who escaped from
the insane hospital at Hastings last
week, was found last evening in
West Mankato. Dumos has been in
the insane ward at Rochester for
the past eight years and the first of
the month he was transferred with
four others to Hastings. Last Thurs
day the five escaped and Dumos and
two others came to Mankato, where
he say the other two went to work
Dumos says that he was taking a
bath and the door was left unlocked
so he walked out and headed for
his home at 327 Fifth street, south
east, Minneapolis, but, not knowing
the lay of the land he was lost and
upon running across railroad track
followed where it led. He does not
know how the others escaped.
1t was reported that a man was
lying in a slough in West Mankato
last night and Officer Simmonds was
sent to bring the fellow in. The
man gave his name and said that he
had come from the Rochester insane
ward. Upon calling up Rochester,
Chief Donahue learned that the run
away had been transferred to Hast
ings and then upon telephoning to
Hastings it was learned that Dumos
had escaped from there.
The man gives his age as thirty
nine, but has the appearance of a
boy about twenty. He said that he
had been a carpenter and that his
father was now a contractor in Min
neapolis.
N E. Bolton, an official from the
insane hospital at Hastings, arrived
today and this afternoon escorted
back to the hospital John Dumos,
the escaped inmate that was found
