"Bank Busted."
That was the word passed from one to another, in Cloverdale, on Friday morning, when the Cloverdale Bank failed to open its doors, and the information was given out that an assignment had been made, H. C. Foster, the book-keeper in the institution, being named as trustee. Hon. S. A. Hays, of this city, is the attorney and prepared the deed of assignment, etc. The showing by the books is that the assets are about $8,000, and liabilities $6,000. Just what shape the assetts are in, and how much will be realized out of them, is the question worrying the creditors. Q. L. Cooper, who was the head of the institution, says depositors will be paid in full, and attributes the failure to being long on loans and
short on collections. The bank has'j a to his room and locked his door,
placed in front of the saloon keeper and each of the others. The fellow’s lump upon which the fly lignts first decides that he is to pay for the drinks.

He has one cube of sugar that he sets for himself touched with turpentine, the others being pure. The fly will not light on the turpentined sugar, and he had a sure thing. THE STILLWELL TRAGEDY. Sensational Testimony by the Dead Man s Son. Dr. Hearne, who married Mrs. Fannie Stillwell, a former resident of this city, the widow of Amos J. Stillwell, who was murdered at Hannibal, Mo., some years ago, brought suit against the San Francisco Chronicle for libel, because of publications made by that paper, intimating that Dr. Hearne had to do with the murder of his wife's first husband. The Chronicle began arranging for a defense against the suit by taking depositions in Hannibal. While taking the deposition of Richard H. Stillwell, son of the murdered man, a sensation was caused, because of its character, he having heretofore held that there was nothing to indicate criminality on the part of the widow or Dr. Hearne. A portion of his testimony
is as follows:
“I have learned within the past two weeks that Dr. Hearne and father’s wife were, before my father’s death, in love with each other; that their actions and conduct on one occasion caused my father’s wife to be alarmed at the situation that existed between the two, and she in some way tried to break ofi this relation and persuaded one of two persons to have a talk with Dr. Hearne and induce him to quit exercising his influence over her; to induce him to stop his visits to her, and that Dr. Hearne at that time told that party who had interfered in the matter that he was not willing to stop his devotions to my father’s wife; that he did not consider my father a fit companion for her, and that ho intended to iise ins Ad’.-"tme-* to bring about a divorce between my father's wife and
my father.
“I learned that on one occasion he made a remark to the party who had talked with him that he could hire a man to ‘slug’ my father for a very small sum. I also have learned lately, which I never knew before, that Dr. Hearne was criminally intimate with my father’s wife before
my father was killed.
“I have learned that on one occasion, while mj ? father was in St. Louis. Dr. Hearne was in mj- lather's house one night when he returned home suddenly and unexpectedljq that Dr. Hearne was naked in the house when mj- father walked in the door; that he had not time to put his clothes on before my father entered the house; that mj- father passed him in the hallway upstairs, without my father’s knowledge, and after my father went
within mj- power to suppress any conviction or any attempt to bring to light this crime for a period of five or six years. I believed firmly in the innocence of both Dr. Hearne and his wife, and I so asserted myself boldly on many occasions. I simply stated yesterday that those developments brought to mind within the past two weeks have changed my mind about the matter and I want the public to know it. I do not saj- that thej- are guilty of the crime, but that these circumstances which have been brought before my mind have changed it.” On Friday the Coroner of Clay county turned over the body of the dead burglar, who was shot at Poland, to the facultj- of the Indiana medical college, Indianapolis, in response to the demand of that institution. Clothing and papers in the valise returned from the express office at Cincinnati identified the man as T. E. Jackson, professionally a dentist, graduated from the Western dental college, Kansas City, but no kin nor friends put in appearance to claim
the body.

of the I.air.
San Francisco, being a progressive town, boasts of a woman deputy sheriff She is Miss May Simpson, and it is said that she manages the duties of her unique position with great skill. She m a youig -roman, and she says she has never seeu anything of wTilcit shif was afraid. The dark, ghosts, burglars, drunken people and the insane have no terrors for her. Horses, dogs, mice and even the fiercer animals that men themselves have no longing to fondle, are nothing to her. Miss Simpson’s work consists mainly in escorting women who have been adjudged insane to their asj luma. She has a theory of her own as to how insane people should be treated, and her ideas have stood successfully the time test. She believes in kindness, combined with firmness and absolute fear-
lessness.
The salary connected with the somewhat difficult position is in no sense large. It is like the pondmaster’s wages—no dogs, no pay. The woman deputy is paid by the piece—two dollars and fifty cents for every trip. If no women arc committed there is no pay, and the deputy goes home and awaits the next session of court. The most she has ever made was forty dollars in one month, and sometimes there are as few as six cases in a month—that is, fifteen dollarr. It isn’t exactly a princely Income for taking one's life in one s hands
every day or so.

A Tariff Comparison. The platform adopted by the Republican State Convention of Iowa contains at least one plank which every Democrat in the United States will indorse: “We congratulate the people of this country upon the evidences of returning prosperity, and rejoice in each instance of labor reemployed, wages restored and industry re-established upon a pros-
perous basis.”
No such resolution was adopted bjthe Republicans of Iowa while the McKinley bill was in force, and for a very good reason. There was no general restoration of wages then or re-employment of idle labor. Wages were being reduced instead of in-A-eased. Men were being discharged and their places filled, if filled at all, with others emploj'ed at lower wages. The whole period of McKinleyism was one of wage reductions, strikes and riots. In the four years only one case of advance in wages in a protected industry was reported—or, at least, only one of consequence. This was an increase of less than 10 per cent in wages at the Fall River cotton mills in Massachusetts. On the other hand, reductions were made at over 1,000 protected mills in 1891 and 1892 alone, to say nothing of those following in 1893 and up to the repeal ofthe McKinley bill in 1894. T hese are facts which cannot be disproved. They are on record as part of the historj* of this country during the first two years of McKinleyism. The list was published during the campaign of 1892. It includes three reductions at the Carnegie steel works at Homestead, Pa., one of 9 per cent in January, 1891, one of 5 per cent some three months later and a
third in 1892. That was the result cont W'*' 18 Riven. The wages of 10,00

Result ofthe Wilson Bill.
Attention was called by this paper yesterday to Bradstreet’s report that more than 1,000,000 industrial workers have received voluntary advances hi wages, averaging 10 per cent, within a couple of months. A Republican organ correctly says that “nothing like this has ever before been known.” II was not known during President Harrison’s administration. It was not known during the four years the McKinley law was in force. Wages were not generally advanced soon after that law took effect, nor at any time before its repeal. Such a thing as a voluntary increase of wages on a large scale was unheard of under that law. Reductions were made in every part of the country, but no advances at all of consequence except a few resulting
from strikes.
The Wilson bill was passed last August. Sections of it went into effect soon afterwards and other sections later, some not until the beginning of 1895. It is worthy of note that the upward movement of wages had its beginning in September and has been growing ever since. It began in the woolen mills - one of the results of the placing of wool on the free list. Itr spread to other textile industries and then became general. As soon as the winter was over reports of advances in wages were received daily. The list for April Includes 67 in which the increase was as much a 15 per cent. In all but six eases the increase was 10 per cent or over. In 10 it was 15 and in several others from 12 to 20 per cent. In the case of the Cincinnati cloakmakers, where 4,000 persons were emploj-ed, an advance of 25 per
brick manufacturers on the Hudson River were increased from 10 to 2f per cent. One report for April shows a 10 per cent increase in the wages ol
panic of 1893 or the period of business depression following it, or even after the election of a Democratic President and Congress in November, 1892. The Democratic party can in no way be held responsible for them. The panic of 1S93 had nothing whatever to do with them, and the only relation it bears to the Homestead riots at all is in their common fatherhood- Republican legislation, including the passage of the McKinley bill. The riots occurred in July, 1892, in consequence of a reduction of wages—the third under the McKin-
ley law.
It is hardly necessary to remind the reader of the effect ofthe Wilson law on the Carnegie works. The entire concern is in full operation again and with orders enough ahead to keep it running several months. Wages were recently advanced 10 per cent, not only at Homestead, but also at the Carnegie steel works at Beaver Falls, Pa. In the latter ease the advance is a complete restoration of wages reduced in August, 1892, under the McKinley law. Take another protected industry, the Illinois steel works of Chicago, and we get about tho same report except as to fatalities. The works

None of these emploj’cs are inclnd ed in the 1,000,000 covered by Brad street’s report, which goes back onh a couple of months. The total num her whose wages have been increase! since the Wilson bill took effect ii probably not far from 2,000,000. An< a conservative estimate places th average advance at 10 per cent. Fo every dollar received by these 2,000, 000 wage-earners under the McKinle; bill, $1.10 is received under the Wit son law. If the aggregate monthh earnings amounted then to $100,000, 000 a month an average of $50 pe man they amount to $110,000,000 : clear gain of $10,000,000 a month o $120,000,000 a j'ear to tlio wnge-earn

of reductions in wages and resulting
labor troubles. A 45 per cent reduction was attempted to following j-ear, four months before Cleveland's election, and a compromise was effected in August at 23 per cent. This is quite in contrast with the voluntary advance of 10 per cent granted the 7,000 men employed at the works last month. At the Cambria iron works at Johnstown, Pa., the wages of 5,000 men were cut lo per cent in the first year of the McKinley law and raised 10 per cent in the first year of the Wilson law. At the Newcastle furnaces in Pennsylvania wages were advanced 30 per cent last May, having been reduced under the McKin-
ley law.
