PUBLIC HOLDS MANY
THEORIES AS TO THE
LOCATION OF MONEY
SOME INCLINE TO VIEW THAT IT
WAS TAKEN OFF BY
JONES'.
OTHEkS Think IT IS IN The BANK
The Phoenix Officials Maintain a Dis.
Greet Silence as to Wether It is
in Their vauIts-All Convinced
Now That the Money Really Exists.
Saturdays Daily.)

The finding OF the Jones money
has been almost the sole topic of con-
versation since the news of it was
published Friday afternoon. Nearly
everybody has a different opinion
about who had it, where it is, and
what will be done with it.
Some incline to the opinion that it
is not in the Phoenix Bank, but that
it was taken out by Jones before he
left. If it is there, they argue, then
why should he run away to parts I'M
known. AS to whether it is or is not
in the bank, no one knows but the
bank officials. They maintain a ST.
lence that is as deep and impressive
as that of the Egyptian Sphinx, and
when asked about it, they will simply
look as wise as a tree full of owls
and smile at you. 1t will take the
chancellor of the court to make them
break their silence. This, however,
is the only proper course, as it is
their duty to protect their depositors.
Others are of the mind that the
money is in the other banks in the
city. They think that the attorneys
of Charles Gordon really know where
it is, and that the serving of the writ
Of attachment upon the Phoenix Bank
was but ruse upon their part.
Wherever it may be, at any rate the
people are pretty thoroughly convinc-
ed that the money really exists, that
it was found, and that it is somewhere
in the city. The great majority have
been pretty skeptical heretofore in
regard to it, but they have about
come to the conclusion that it is
something more than a mere myth.
At any rate, some large league legal
tactics are going to be employed by
the attorneys Of Gordon to get pos

from the prison, and fulfill some other
similar minor requirements which he
mentioned, he would be glad to come
to Columbia and identify the money.
He was very generous in one respect,
however, he stated that he would not
take the money if it was not the coin
that his grandfather had buried in
Maury county.
However, the letter is too rich not
to print in full. 1t is as follows:

HAVE YOU NEURASTHENIA?

NeTrasthenia is a condition of exhaus-
ton of the nervous system. The causes
are varied. Continuous work, mental or
physical, without propervacation periods,
without proper attention to diet and ex-
ercise, also worry over the struggles for
success, are the most common causes.
Excuses of almost any kind may pro-
duce it. Some diseases, like the grip,
will cause neurasthenia. So also will 9
severe shock, intense anxiety or grief.
The symptoms are over-sensitiveness,
irritability, disposition to worry over
trlties, headache, possibly nausea.
The treatment is one ofnutrition of the
nerve cells, requiring a non-alcoholic
tonic. As the nerves get their nourish-
ment from the blood the treatment must
be directed toward building up the blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills act directly on
the blood and with proper regulation of
the diet have proved of the greatest bene-
fit in many cases of neurasthenia A
tendency to an8mia, or bloodlessness,
shown by most neurasthenic patients, is
also corrected by these tonic pills. Your

MISS CURTIS
At THE FAIR

At the fair grounds on Thursday Miss
Alice B. Curtis, manager at state head
quarters of the Wisconsin Suffrage
association, Waukesha, gave talk on
Woman Suffrage which was clear and
logical and interestingly presented by
the attractive speaker. She was intro
duced by District Attorney ]. H. Hill
! in his usual unassuming manner ex
pressing in fittingness his earnest and
profound approval of the movement fol
better humanity. The line of thought
as given by Miss RCurtis was about as
follows:
Government and politics are human
functions. Men and women thinking
and acting together will bring into pub
lie life higher ideals and sounder prin-
ciples. The presence of women as
voters will mean the elimination of
many civic and moral evils which men
alone have not been able to set aside.
Witness the action of Chicago women
in helping to dispose of the vice district
and the garbage question. Note that
woman's vote in the suffrage states has
meant the protection of young boys
and girls, the care of the child laborer,
the Improvement of sanitary and moral
conditions.
Some people say that woman's place
is the home-that obtaining the vote
will make her forget it. How narrow
is that conception of home which can
not see that the life of the town and
community must be clean and
safe if the home is to remain so. The
virtues of the best homes should become
a part of city and community govern
ment and our thinking women will
help to make this possible.
Miss Curtis sketched the world awak-
ening of women. her function as a
oeace-maker and conserver of the hu-
man race. She outlined woman's OPP
position to war and the present need of
bringing the peace-loving half of hu-
manity into governmental power. She
urged Sank county voters to vote for
the state assemblyman and senator
who would be just and fair to women.
In the evening Mrs. August Ringing
introduced Miss Curtis from the band
stand in the park and she spoke briefly
to large crowd. Later a number of
suffragists gathered at the home of
Mrs. August Runge, president of tn .
Sank County Suffrage association, fer
an informal reception.

A news item from Wisconsin shows
how the world is moving toward jus
lice within the family. We recommend
this to those who regard the family as
an obsolete device:

all of which the County will turn over

She obtained her husbands convic-
ton on an assault charge. Should he
default or break faith, he will be subject
to penitentiary term.
What seems to be needed elsewhere
and what is being applied in Wisconsin
is this: A little common sense in law
and little recognition by the courts of
the true responsibilities of the family
relation. The home is not place
where man can indulge his i'll temper

There is a strong tendency, how
ever, among fruit growers in general
