Hartford, Conn., Nov. 14.—The his

The letter was addressed to Gen. I
Jos. R. Hawley, president of the Na- j

after General Hawley went to Wash j

lost.

which reads:

ANOTHER KILLING.
Another Hotel for Enid.
Colonel Samuel Billings, landlord of
the Franz hotel in Enid, the same man
who was going to build a $75,000 hotel
in Guthrie some time ago, is going to
build another hotel, so the Eagle says,
in Enid.
The colonel has purchased the cor-
ner lots on Independence avenue and
Monroe street and work on the new
hotel will commence at once.
A gentleman who knows says that
the colonel, last summer, advanced
$2,000 to Mr. Franz, the owner of the
Franz hotel so that he might be able
to purchase other property. The col-
onel at that time did not think of
vacating the Franz hotel.

There is no possibility of compro-

Tho difference upon the money
question, among those who under-
stood it, was not so much a difference
of opinion as a difference in syni
pathies, and that difference exists to-
day as It did then. A man whoso sym-
pathies are with organized wealth has
no claim to leadership in '.he demo-
cratic party unless the party intends
to become the exponent of organized
wealth. Tile money qusetion is not
a matter of gold or silver; it is whe-
ther there shal be a sufficient volume
of money or an insufficient volume of
Money. Gold and silver together fur-
nish more money than gold alone, and
the same reason that led some to
favor the gold standard as against thc
double standard will lead tho same
persons to favor somo limitation upon
gold coinago if tho quantity of gold
ever becomes sufficient to maintain
the level of prices.
In 1801 Mr. McKlnley denounced
Grover Cleveland and declared that
during his first administration he was
discriminating against one of the
money metals of tho country—"try-
ing to make money scarcer and there-
fore, dearer—money the master, and
all things else the servant." No ono
has ever stated tho Issue more clearly
than Mr. McKlnley did in those words,
and uo ono ever brought a more se-
vere arraignment against a public
man than Mr. Mc Kinley brought
against Mr. Cleveland. Thc issue still
exists, and in the nature of things
must ever exist, and it makes a great
deal of difference to the democratic
parly whether its candidate wants to
make "money the master and all
things else the servont" or desires
rather to make man the master and
all things else the servant. It makes
a great deal of difference to the peo-
ple of the country, too, whether it has
a piesldent who recognizes the true
relation which should exist between
the man and tho dollar.

GREAT EXCITEMENT PREVAILED
At Harms Bros. Saloon this Morning-
Gasoline Tank Leaked—John Her-
shey a Hero.
(From Monday's Dally.)
There was great excitement at
Harms Bros, saloon at about 8 o'clock
this morning, and but for the pres-
ence of mind of John Hershey, who
was once a Chicago fireman, a ser-
ious lire would have been on tap to-
day.
The porter had filled a gasoline tan1,
connected with the roast beef appar-
atus, and did not notice that it leak-
ed. When he touched a lighted match
to the burner a solid sheet of flame
darted to the ceiling. The colored
porter stood dumbfounded not know-
ing what to do as such cases are not
provided for In the statutes.
Mr. Hershey took In the situation

Lawton, O. T. Nov 1C.—Did Mrs.
Nora Bush enter into a contract with
Ed Parks to have her brother, Rube
St. Clair, kill her husband S. B. Bush
She was arrested this morning upon
the charge of murder. Warrants were
served upon Parks and St. Clair
charging them with similar crimes.
The grand jury found indictments I
against the three. The county attor-
ney believes the crime to have been
a conspiracy to murder Bush. When
the case comes to trial some sensa-
tional testimony will be offered.
When Deputy Sheriff Elrod called
upon Mrs. Bush at her residence in
this city this morning and informed
her that he had a warrant for her
arrest she did not appear to be ex-
cited. Sho invited him to take a
