IX KAYOlt OK AV 11.1) CAT MONEY. During the campaign of IMC tlie Democrats fairly split their lung's in denial-of the charge that 'they were in favor of a return to a system of wild cat currency. When reminded that the Chicago platform favored a repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on State bank circulation, the object of which was to kill the vicious wild cat. they indignantly denounced it as a Republican campaign slander, the more brazen even going so far as to.deny that such a declaration was in the platform, and that if it was there it could only be found in Republican newspapers. In this they were greatly deceived, as they were iu the platform as a whole, the entire thing being a deception and a fraud as the people have since learned to their sorrow. Since the Democratic caucus of the House has passed a resolution demanding the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on- State bank notes there will be a further awakening to a realizing sense of the incurable propensity of the Democratic party for unsound theories and vicious legislation. The nation does not want a return to the fluctuating, dangerous and irredeemable State bank currency of anti-bellum days. A great majority of intelligent Americans are firmly opposed to the currency scheme so zealously supported by Southern Democratic Congressmen. What the people want is a sound and stable monetary system in which every doilai shall be the equal in value of every other dollar in every State of the Union, whether that dollar be [gold, silver or paper. A repeal of the 10 per cent, tax means a return to a system of wild „cat bsnks. The brand of condemnation will be placed upon the forehead* of every Congressman who votes for this ruinous, measure. Let cuckoo l!rookhire beware.

Two more of Judge (iresham's decisions made while he was presiding over the Seventh circuit, were reversed this week by the Supreme Court of the .-United States. This makes eight that have been reversed during the present term, a clean record, not one of his decisions having Ijeen atlirined. Gresham was as great a failure as a judge as he has been as a diplomat.

Chicaoo Intcr-Oixun: The Republican leaders and campaign committees this fall will have little to do except to keep the track clear for the people to march to the polls. The Democratic party has done all the necessary arguing.

ik.k W 1 1 of the Kenton circuit court, has decided that the fee and salary law so far as it relates to auditors, clerks and recorders, is unconstitutional on the grounds that it omits these otlicials of Shelby county. *.

Rr, a in no Democrat® out of the party is now the order of the day. Whileone faction is busy reading liill out another faction is equally as industrious in performing the same operation for Cleveland.

.Iako.n H. Hkowx. the blatherskite Congressman from the Third district, has been snowed under by his Democratic constituents who have expressed a preference for S. M. Stockslagei

Thk Democrats in the House have at last decided to adopt' the Reed rules and count a quorum. The ex-Czar has at last been vindicated by a DemoeaaticIIou.se.

Indianapolis Joitnuil: It looks now as if the fall elections would show a Republican quorum without counting Democrats present but not voting.

Thk New York Sun says to the Democratic party, don't butt the engine. That advice was intended for Senator Voorliees.

Ukjiocratic dissatisfaction with the present Administration is as general as Republican dissatisfaction.

It is now said that Coxey wants to go to Congress. This perhaps explains his overland trip.

Thf. Senate will vote on the tariff bill about ne.xt November. So will the people.

Cuaitkk XVII—Continued,i

The man went out and pulled the door within about six or nine inches of being completely shut"That's about it, sir, as near as 1 oan judge." said the man from without. "And I pushed it like this," and he showed the others what he had done. "That'sstrange," said Gorringe, looking very thoughtful. "Why strange?" said the doctor. "Why strange?" he echoed, turning and looking hard at the doctor. "Why, because I thought that door would shut of itself. That's all." "Don't see that it matters very much, Mr. Gorringe," said the polio inspector, looking very profound. "Don't you? Well, perhaps it doesn't. But you see it may all depend on the position of that door to show whether the villain who did this did it deliberately and calmly, or whether ho was flurried and nervous and so hurried the matter."

All through the impromptu investigation which Gorringe carried through, the rest were much impressed by the direct character of his questions and the clear method in which he elicited the facts.

When he came to deal with the doctor, he was searching iu his questions. "Of course." said the doctor, with professional caution, "I cannot pledge myself until I have made an autopsy but there can be no reasonable doubt as to the cause of death. This fracture in the base of the skull," pointing to it, "would have killed the strongest man in the world it lias crashed right into the brain. Either of these wounds in the face would also probably have been enough to cause death." "Virtually, of course, there can be no doubt that the blows either on the face or at the back of the head caused death?" asked Gorringe. "Virtually, no doubt at all," said the doctor. "Not the slightest," agreed the police inspector. "That's clear as day." "Well, inspector, do you want to take charge of the place here, or of the body? I should like it removed as soon as possible. If the doctor here makes the post mortem this morning and we get the inquest held for this afternoon, the jury can view the body and the room as it is and we can have my poor old friend buried at once."

The other man agreed to this as an excellent arrangement, and with that they all went out of the office, Gorringe closing and locking the door after them. Before he locked it, however. he fried it once or twice to see whether, when it was shut, it would come open easily aiul without being touched by anyone. It would not, and this fact seemed to afford him matter for thought. "lly the way," said the police inspector. "there's one thing I've very foolishly forgotten. What about the weapon with which this was done? I didn't see anything in the room." "Nor I there was nothing. But you can see to that when you go back to get the body away for the post-mor-tem." answered Gorringe. "Whatever the weapon was. if it was left behind it'll be there. What should you tiink it was. doctor?" "Well, I can scarcely say without a closer examination of the wounds but 1 should think it was some bluutisli instrument, with perhaps a knob or lump at the end, with a jagged odge. It looks like that." "Ah, well, I dare say it'll turn up good morning." and Gorringe walked away homewards to breakfast.

About ten o'clock, while Mary was sitting with old Mr. Roylance, she was surprised by Reuben Gorringe, who walked in and started to find her there. •'You here. Mary?" he said. "Where's Tom'.'''

Mary looked at. him quietly an.l earnestly, yet with fear in her eyes, and with very pale cheeks. "He is not at home," she answered. "Not at home! Why, where is ho then?"

Do They Have

BLUE MONDAY.

It was dubbed blue Monday By old Mrs. Grundy Along time ago. Nc wonder that under This serious blunder

The working was slow.

Thunder and Lightning

IN HAWAII?

Said Grover to Lillie one day. Oh yes, me boy, but it is perfectly harmless when conducted by

BRYANT'S

Crestile Conductor.

Get .it on your house and

be safe.

"How can I tell?" answered the girl, with assumed indifference and motioning toward the old man to prevent anything being said before him. "This is a sad business, Mr. Roylance," said Gorringe. "I came in to see Tom, as I thought I might want him at the mill. Never mind if he's out. 1 must seo you at once," ho added to Mary in an undertone. "Come into the other room."

Reuben Gorringe went into the next room, and she followed as soon as possible. Gorringe was looking at a book of Tom's which he put down as she entered. "Where is Tom?" he asked again. "Why has he run away?" "What do you mean?" she answered, indignantly. "How dare you to say he has run away—you,of all men?""Why I, of all men?" he answered, looking at her keenly. "Because you yourself as good as told him to go away on pain of being prosecuted. I heard Mr. Coode when lie. said it yesterday. If lie has gone in consequence of this, how can you come and ask where he is? Are yon still so eager to prosecute?" "Mary, don't speak so harshly. I came this morning to see Tom and tell hin\ that now this thing has happened he need have no further fear and this is my reception." Ho said this in an aggrieved tone. "Well, I do not know where he is but 1 suppose he has gone away because you and Mr. Coode told him he'd be prosecuted. That seems the likeliest reason," answered Mary. "When did he go?" asked Gorringe. "Somewhere about eight o'clock last evening, I fancy," answered Mary, as unconcernedly as possible. "I did not see him after six or seven." "Must have been later than that, I fancy. He was in the village after that. Some one met him near the Two Stones bridge after ten o'clock." This was a spot within fifty yards of the mill. "Well, I don't know. I don't think he can have been there, for I was on the lookout to see him." "You were on the lookout:" said Gorringe, sharply, looking quickly and searcliingly at her. "Yes and I think I should have seen him." "Well, he'd better come back, wherever he is, and whenever lie went," said Gorringe, significantly. "I'm sorry lie's gone away I wanted him to have come up to the mill to run through the papers with me. I must go this terrible business has upset everything. Good-by."

He put his hat on and turned hurriedly away—so hurriedly that he knocked down the book at which he had been glancing. With a muttered exclamation at his carelessness he picked it up, and, instead of putting it back on the table, gave it into the girl's hands. "Oh, I beg your pardon," he said, smiling. "I meant to put it down on the table but I am absent-minded this morning." "Never mind," answered Mary "I'll put it in its proper place on that slielf there." "I found it on the table," he said, as if excusing himself for having had it in his hand at all. "No matter," she answered.

She was sorry she had spoken sharply to him, for it was good of him to come to tell Tom that now there was nothing more to fear in the matter of the lost money. What a pity Tom had not stayed to face it out. It looked now so much like guilt on his part to have left the place.

Two l.lves Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City. 111., was told by her doctors she had consumption and that there was no hopes for her, but two bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery completely cured her and she said it saved her life. Mr. Tlios. Eggers, 139 Florida street, San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful eflieancy of this medicine in coughs and colds.

The End Has Come—The Curtain Is Down

On the last act of the last scene in the eventful merchandising career of the Great Wholesale Dry Goods House,

The James H. Walker Co.

The superb $650,000 stock is all sold—sold under the auctioneer's merciless hammer. And such a sale—a sale that attracted the attention of the entire dry goods trade of the Nation. The leading merchants of all the great cities had corps of buyers attending it. 'Tis quite true that many goods brought big prices, but none of them found their way to

They could not because of the measures we used to prevent bad buying, namely: We spent several days at the big Walker warehouse prior to the sale, examining and scrutinizing each and ever}' piece—every lot in the whole stock—and marking down low bargain prices on catalogues furnished us for that purpose. Then we paid close attention to the bidding and never allowed one lot to be knocked down to any one else if at or below our guiding prices, but when they went above we promptly let them go to any one who chose to pay more for them—in short it was a cool, premeditated scheme to Capture the Bargains from the Great Walker Sale for our customers.

As a result we will commence to-morrow a Grand Sale. We say "Sale" but the word hardly expresses the event. It will be practically a reckless distribution of Walker's Silks, Walker's Dress Goods, Walker's Linens, Walker's Notions, Walker's Domestics,

REGARDLESS OF WALKERS COST. REGARDLESS OF PRESENT VALUES. REGARDLESS OF EVERYTHING.
