IS SILLY, SAYS MILLER
City Commissioner RidicuIes Light
Plant Newspaper Stories.

H P. Miller, city commissioner of wa
terworks and electric lights sent to the
State Journal today a statement con-
corning the alleged attempts to discred-
it the efficiency at the city light plant
The statement follows:
For the benefit of the officers of
the AnaniaS club who have been look
ing for the champion liar of the COM
munity, l will state that 1 believe the
man has been found in the person who
is responsible for the reports made pub
lie from time to time reflecting on the
city light plant.
TT is true one engineer was dis
missed, but what of it? The plant is
running, is in good shape and is de-
livering the goods.
1T is also true that his successor
after two months trial, quit of his own
still stands and the machinery is still
in motion. The above incidents con-
stitute all the terrible happenings; aw-
full is it not?
1.-THE balance of the insipuation and
other stuff really too unimportant and
silly for any one to pay any attention
to, are the imaginations of a politically
diseased brain All we ask of our en-
ployees is competency and faithful per-
Torrance of duties and no one COM
plying with those conditions need fear
losing his position.
Mr. O'Neill is running the plant and
is doing well and it is to the interests
of every taxpayer that he be permitted
to try out men until he finds one COM
petent to fill the positions if vacant.
As to more engineers having been dis
missed, 1 would ask those so much in
terested when it took place, as neither
myself or Mr.. O'Neill knows anything
about it.
THE thing is becoming a joke-give

Arrest of Frank Schneck Credited to
Two Men.

Ottawa, Kan, Jan. 9.-The prolonged
litigation in the matter of the reward of
$500 offered by the commissioners of
Franklin county for the arrest and con-
viction of Frank Schneck, for which
claims were filed by Ex-Sheriff w. r.
Cody, of Franklin, and Ex-Sheriff
Woodward, of Douglas county, has
been settled. Sheriff Woodward had
brought suit against the commissioners
for the amount, and a counter claim
was put in by Mr. Cody The latter
was represented by Attorney John
Quin, and the former by Ord Klingman
of Lawrence.
At the opening session of the January
term of district court, the court agreed
that the case might be settled by
stipulation, and the two attorneys ar
rived at a compromise. 1t was mu-
tually agreed that the amount of the
reward should be divided between the
claimants in the proportion of s175 to
Mr.. Woodward and $125 to MIR. Cody
after costs had been paid.

Most Religious Negro Prisoner in
Kansas Is Gone.

Marion, Kan, Jan. ct. c. Munroe,
a negro, who appeared to be4so deeply
under conviction of his sins that the
sheriff thought him trustworthy, is be-
ing sought in several Kansas counties
His religious fervor appeared to be so
sincere that he was considered one of
the best prisoners in the Marion county
Jail. He herded the other prisoners in
to a cell and locked them in. He used
a Jimmy effectively enough to tear off
a part of the cell and escape. His home
is in Wichita, where it is believed he
went after breaking Jail. He is charged
with several robberies.

of 1896. During this period the prices
of nearly all commodities, especially
food products, have steadily advanced.
A few articles have fluctuated, but
have had little Influence in changing
the general trend upward. In the ten
year period Immediately preceding
this there was a steady fall in prices
which reached their minimum in 1896.
During this period the standard of
living has constantly increased MAX
ing an additional burden upon people
whose incomes are fixed, or who have
been unable to increase their income
in proportion to the cost of living.
THE high cost of living has been
caused by the attempt to meet the de-
mands of a high standard and the
constantly advancing prices. The lat
ter is the chief cause.
The causes are many and complex.
They should be divided into world
causes and local causes. Chief among
the former is the expansion of cur
rency caused by the production of
gold and the leSSening of the purchaS-
ing power of gold.
The second great world cause is the
shifting of the population from the
group of producers of raw material
to the group engaged in Transforming,
transporting and distributing pro-
ducts; and to the group who are at
tempting to satisfy the demand for
multitudeS of desires old and new.
AQQ TO In1S the increase OF pOpu1aLlOn
in cities the relative decrease in agri-
cultural products to feed them and We
have the chief causes for the advance
of world prices.
Local causes in the United States
have been influenced by the relative
scarcity of food products. The num-
Der of acres in agriculture. has not
increased as rapidly as the demand
for food products. This condition is
intensified by the depletion of the soil
f11a inc in he in16
The prices of food products have been
SO high as to affect prices of other
commodities by sympathetic action.
THE tariff has had something to do
with the advance of local prices al
though its influence has been greatly
over estimated.
Trusts combinations, produce assoc
Citations, cold storage and other bust
ness organizations that have had
power to restrict production, control the

Suggested Remedies.
"It is difficult to suggest positive |
remedies that are scientific and can |
be made practical, but the following |
are given.
Let the government check the de- |
cline in the purchasing power of gold |
by taking automatically Seigniorage of
