LONDON, September 1.—W. T. Stead, editor of the Kevlew of Reviews, the moat dlatlnffulshod of living journaltata, is one of the most hated men In England to-day. It will probably take a hundred years for this country to come to Us senses, and appreciate the work Stead has done for England. To-day, however, the mob la howling him down as the one man In the world who has held his 1 native land up to scorn for the part la j has taken In the Boer war. j Stead, week after week, and month after month, has Hooded the country with | literature decrying the war against the Boers, setting forth facts and figures, digging Into past history, relentlessly, fiercely striving tooth and nail to show England that its war against the Dutch republics has- been unjust, cowardly, cruel and barbarous. Like Fltt, upholding tho American colonies. however, in their stand against the mother country. Stead is being reviled, misunderstood, misquoted and maligned.

conspiracy to defraud; Joha Healy, Jr., conspiracy to defraud tho county. Some time ago It was discovered that an entry of "paid" had been placed opposite an Item of nearly LI,000 on the tax-war-rant book of the county treasurer. Ml- < hael G. Walsh gave testimony before the grand Jury to the effect that the Temple Association wished to Issue several hundred mousand dollars’ worth of bonds, hut that because the building had been sold once before for taxes, trust companies would not float the bonds unless the property was free from liens It was alleged that bribes wore offered to county employes to make the forged entry and that I.uke Wheeler was the go-between. Wheeler, at present, Is missing. Captain Williams was arrested last Saturday, and gave bond for fc.QOO for his appearance. Meeting of Muncle Presbytery.

I’m a great admirer of Cromwell, you know. You see—" "Just a moment, Mr. Stead.” The camera clicks; the llrst photograph Is taken. "What is your favorite working place in the office?" I asked, as 1 swing the camera around for another shot. "Here, at this table." says Stead, throwing himself “Into another chair. The picture Is taken; and so with the next and the next. Blend sitting In his corner nook by the window, on the couch on which he often sleeps when he works late at the office, and assuming other poses. "You see this flag?” Stead asks, holding up a great piece of bunting. "Well, It Is a combination of the American Stars and Stripes and the British flag. I think It a great flag. You suggest taking my picture In front of It? Very well. Here, I am ready for the street. Got that? Good." Stead writes a couple of telegram rushes Into the office with them, shakf hands with several waiting people, rushes
back.
Monarchy will Surely Go. "Speaking of that flag,” he resumes, "there Is more In It than you might first think. England Is dally, hourly, becoming more republican In Its form of government. Our monarchy, as a monarchy, will not last very long. How long? Well, prophesying Is bad business. When a prophet names a date he’s running
great risk.
"But, mark the tendencies: Everything here is becoming Americanized. Three great things point to the fact that England will have a republican form of gov-
ernment before a great while.
"First, look at the English colonies: They are self-governing; but therein does not consist the strong argument In favor of Americanization. It Is this: These colonies are modeling the form of government, not on that of their mother country, but on American lines. It will not be many years before the home country follows the example of the colonies—and you have your Fnited States of Great
Britain.

His Best Newspaper Work.
"What Is the best newspaper work you
ever did In your life, Mr. Stead?"
"The publication of the ’Malden Tribute to Modern Babylon,’ ” he answered. "I have seen the good Influence of that work on every hand. In fact, I regard the writing of the ‘Malden Tribute to Modern Babylon’ as the best act I ever performed
In my life.”
It will be recalled that Mr. Stead’s "Malden Tribute,” published In the Pall Mall Gazette, created one of the greatest sensations England has ever known. Stead's object was to exhibit the absence of any legal protection for girls and to raise the age of consent. The work he did In connection with this series of articles led to bis imprisonment for several
ihonths.
It Is such books as the "Malden Tribute” and "If Christ Came to Chicago." that have won for Mr. Stead the reputation of being erratic. But hlg erratlclsm Is always with a purpose—there Is "method In his madness’’—and the results of such publications haw been to direct at-
tention to crying abuses.
Speaking or the Boer war, and his own attitude, Mr. Stead made, a very remark-
able statement:
"Why am I so extremely vehement against the Boer war? Because I have

Accept no substitute for ” Favorite Prescription.’’ No other medicine is "just as good ” for weak and sick women. " It affords me great pleasure to be able to lay s few worda in regard to the merits of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and ' Golden Medical Discovery,’» write* Mrs. Flora Arn. of Balias, Jackson Co., Mo.

Stead’s Opinion of Rhodes. "It was I, also, who largely popularized Cecil Rhodes, and made the public believe In him. I knew him most Intimately. I still think he waa a very great man; but, like other great men, he was Impatient—Inellnded to trample down all obstacles that stood In hls path. "When I took my stand against the terrible war, people said to me, ‘How Is It that you now cry down Imperialism?' I only cry down the Imperialism of rapine. Just ns the apostles would have denounced
the Inquisition.”
Mr. Stead knows the new premier. Bal-
four. Intimately.
‘‘If you asked each member of Parliament as to hls choice of a man to be a leader, each would, I think, say ’Balfour.’ He Is personally the best-liked man In Parliament, and I would rather see him premier than anyone else.’’ As Mr. Stead Is more known In his works than personally, I gathered from the Interview a few facts about the personal life of the famous publicist. Only Two Year* at School. Mr. Stead is only fifty-three years old, and looks It. He tells me people are constant!^ taking him for a man of more years. Hls actions, however, are those of a youth of nineteen. He always rushes upstairs at breakneck speed; does the work of three men at hls office, and possesses steam engine energy. Stead was bom at Embleton In Northumberland. Ills father waa a Congregational minister there, and removed to Houden-on-Tyne when hls son was not a year old. Stead was the eldest son of a

Much Currency was Overlooked, and the Robbers Escaped Across the s Michigan Line.
[Special to The Indianapolis News.] FREMONT. Ind., September 6.—The Bank of Fremont was entered by burglars early yesterday morning. They pried open the,front door and. digging through tbs wall of the vault, placed charges of dynamite and completely wrecked the safe and front of the building. Mrs. L. A. Press, living next door, was awakened, and when she looked from a window she found her house surrounded. Fred Setrlck, another near resident, was driven Into hls house at the point of revolvers. It is believed there were at least six thieves. The amount of money taken Is small, the exact amount not being known. A large amount of currency was on hand, but the robbers were frightened away before they could get to It. Thu gang was last seen leaving the village for the Michigan line, with Fremont people in ursuit. They made good their escape, and It Is doubtful if they will be caught. The greatest coolness was shown by the thieves, who walked to two carriages with their booty and drove away.
MAUDE ADAMS AN INVALID.

Over $1,000,000.00 Savei x- 0De year ago The American Newspaper Association announced that it had secured control 4 the New 20th Century Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and would supply for a limited time famous set of books at LESS THAN HALF PRICE and on ealy monthly payments, amounting to oa^ cents a day. Great interest was aroused by our announcement and thousands of applications were reea asking for sample pages and full particulars. Orders for complete sets came in so fast that all available I sets for immediate delivery were soon exhausted and those who delayed in filing their applications had to I wait until new sets could be manufactured, which required several weeks’ time. ' 25,265 Sets of THE ENCYCLOPJEDIA BRITANNIGA were ordered, and the largest book manufactory in the United States found it impossible to keep pace with the demand, and we were asked to discontinue accepting orders except for future delivery. OUR LESS THAN HALF PRICE offer effected a saying to subscribers of over ONE MILLION DOLLARS. This great saving and the privilege of paying a little at a time each month, together with the superior quality of th^volumes, explain the cause of the unprecedented demand. On account of the great advertising facilities of the American Newspaper Association, the publishers have renewed their contract with us for a short time, and we will therefore accept subscriptions until further notice at the same price and on the same terms as before. We give fair warning, however, that all applications will be filed in the order received. We therefore advise readers of The News to send for sample pagts and full particulars without delay. I or more than one hundred years the Encyclopaedia Britannica has occupied the foremost rank as a self-educator and work of reference, through its various revisions and additions during that interval. It was first issued over one hundred years ago in Three \ olumes. At intervals new and enlarged editions of the work were published, thus keeping pace with the progress of the world. The New 20th Century Edition, which we now offer, occupies 31 magnificent volumes, containing nearly 25,000 pages, and covers every department of knowledge known to mankind. That some sort of an Encyclopaedia is a necessity all must acknowledge. That the great Britannica is the very best none will deny. It is au Encyclopiedia in which each principal subject is treated by an ackno pledged authority upon that subject. No other Encyclopmdia has given Ten Thousand Dollars for a Single Article or Six Hundred Dollars a page for written matter. The fact that $3,000,000 were expended in ’ its preparation, requiring the labor of 2,000 of the world’s greatest scholars, tells the story of its exalted superiority. One dime a day for a short time will secure this great work. Who can afford not to spare 10 cents per day? Who can afford not to own this great work when it can be had on such easy terms ? There is no further excuse for not owning this Jprf ■ - • -i" great reference Library. Take advantage of this r ' ' offer now. Before Itn Is too late, and secure the work at LESS THAN

"Thirdly, Americans are coming over to this country and are beginning literally to run It. Every year sees more and more American enterprise here. As England sends her white men to Africa to exploit the country and make the niggers work for them. America is sending her Morgans and Yerkeses over here and exploiting our country. "We are the niggers in the case, the Americans the white men. Anjerican ways and methods will become naturalized here, and then we shall wake up, and find ourselves Americanized, with the American form of government, and all the rest." I was surprised to obtain such an open expression as the above from one of the closest students of politics In all Europe— for as editor of the Pall Mall Gazette for many years, Mr. Stead exerted a powerful Influence on English and Continental political thought and had a moat Intimate knowledge of political affairs. Mr. Stead has written several essays on the government of a country by means of the press. I asked him It he thought the English press servile. "No, not servile; only stupid. was Stead’s quick answer. "The editor who Is really an editor, and exerts an Influence on the minds of hls readers Is fast disappearing from England. With the exception of one paper, the Westminster Gazette, edited by Alfred Spender, there will soon be hardly a paper here whose editorial policy (save the mark!) is not dictated by the business office.

In 18X0, at the age of thirty-five, Stead was offered the associate editorship of the Pall Mall Gazette, the chief editor then being John Morley. When Morley left the Pall Mall, Stead became editor-ln-chlef. It was then that Stead put new life Into
English Journalism.

He introduced tbe Interview. In the course of hit work on these Uaes, he obtained some famous Interviews for hls paper, notably, an Interview with the Czar of Russia, Alexander III, the King of the

Stead exerted a very powerful Influence on political thought, giving rise to ’ SteadIsm," a term that implied Independence and the courage of one's convictions. Thomas Carlyle once said of Stead: ‘•Tell that good man. Stead, to get on with hls work." Stead, through the preee,

When Sarah landed In Last Hope, there wasn't anything In sight but a shanty, some tents and a yellow dog. She stopped on her way from the boat landing to pat the yellow dog. and It followed her Into the shanty. The next day she owned the shanty, adopted the dog and started up business No other woman had ever seen Last Hope except old Walla Walla, w ho came up tjje river every month with skins and dry salmon and a husband. Chick Benson sold her the shanty, and It had about a dozen mortgages on It. But Sarah waa safe. The first man who had dared foreclose on her would have left Last Hope In mourning. ’What made you land here In this hole In the hills?” Chick had asked her when she settled for the shanty. “Thought It kind of a likely place," said Sarah, and that was the only reason she gave for her coming. We did not call her Sarah to her face. Mis’ Mooney waa the name she had Big Ned ptilnt up over her door, and underneath It said “Bakery.” That one word madia morel excitement In Lawt Hope than any killing had for a year.
