BAD FOR THE CASHIER, Only $1,200 Found in the Vault of the Hartly Bank at Jerico. Nevada, Mo., July 5.—The myste- rious Hartly bank robbery at Jerico has at last been clearedup. Yester- day the safe was opened and only “1,200 was found in it. Some 000 of the funds that should have been there were missing. Cash-| ier Brashear has been arrested and! taken to Stockton, as heretofore re-| ported, whe 00 bond} for his app trial. While} he was at Stockton it was learned) that he bought a gallon of coal oil | on the evening before the supposed , robbery occurred, which he took to the bank building and which it is! supposed he used in the attempt to} burn the building as the floor andj counters were saturated with the oil | and the bank books and papers were all piled together on the floor out-| side the vault where they were found on fire next morning when the citi-| zens broke into the bauk. On the night of the reported rob- bery Brashear told his wife that he} was sick, and got up and left the house. After an hour or two he re- turned and told her he had been a prisoner in the hands of robbers, who turned him loose, promising to kill him ifhe gave the alarm. He gave this as a reason for not notify- ing any of the citizens that night when his wife suggested to him to do so. When Brashear got back from Stockton he was again placed under arrest and is now in jail. The people around Jerico are much incensed and fears are entertained that Judge Lynch will convene court | in the matter. It is reported that Brashear took morphine soon after his arrest but he failed to end his life. Larer—iditor J. A. Stearns of Eldorado was here to-day. He says that Cashier Bashear of the Jerico bank killed himself at bis home in > he wave gave § arance for that city yesterday. His suicide was | ten ty the accomplished with morphine, but the minor particulars were not known at Eldorado, when he left there this morning. Dr. Dawson brought the} news to Eldorado, late yesterday | evening. The Gain From Repeal. Prom a gold standard standpoint | the New York World has this to say of the repeal of the Sherman law: What will follow the repeal of the Sherman law? What immediate good is expected from the action for which congress has been called to meet in extraordinary session? Iu the first place, the Sherman law has caused a doubt as to the power of the government to pay all its ob- ligations in gold. It has several classes of obligations which must or which may be paid in gold. At the same time it is expending gold for depreciating silver, although the in- come is not equal to the demands upon it. The repeal of the Sherman act will put an end to the expendi ture which is taking gold out of the treasury, and which has threatened | the creation of a new and national | debt. Confidence will be restored in the government. Our credit will rise, and American securities will Once more be regarded as a safe in-} vestment. This will affect the credit of pri- vate corporations as well as of the} government. So long as there is fear that the country is drifting to- wards a silver basis foreign investors will not invest their gold in securities eigne 3 buy our securities .: farm products because we offer them | in the world’ k i ause | mat they want other tl andj we raise, Or Invest- ments for their capital Ik about gettiug on with- ight as v be drop. ped. } y sane man knows its} hollowness We must deal with | | money standard or force} Europeans, and we must either ac cept the in doing the last has not been bril liant.

The extension of credits to corpo Sherman act has demon annot s { alone ion of the commercial rations aud individuals which will follow a restoration of confidence would mean the entering upou new enterprises, the opening of shops. mines and factories that are now closed, the prevention of failures In short it would mean the revival of business. Silver itself would go up, although it would not reach the artificial high-water mark of a few years ago. By the repeal of the Sherman Jaw we shall escape from our present di lemma, and whetWer the dilemma is rational or not it is real, and means, if it continues, ruin to hundreds of thousands, distress and want to those who labor for wages and grinding poverty to the farmer. This much has been demonstrated. Repeal wilt relieve us from that which is immi nent and will give us time to settle our monetary problem rationally and justly. This last work is a great one, too great to be a part of the re peal law. G nd Raver Items, Crop prospects inthis township are 100 per cent. on everything except fruit, which isa failure. The wheat, oats and ineadows are ali ready to be harvested at once, and the farm- erlads are up to their ears in work. A very few ran their binders Sunday. There was a large congregation out at the Baptist church Sunday to lis- funeral sermon of Mrs. Catharine Brown, who died recently. Elder J. A. Smith did the preaching and did well. Quite a number of young people accompanied Gordon W from church and were warmly wel- ght home comed by his parents Dr. D. C.

The health of the community is ex- cellent. Mr. Osville has purchased the store room and stock of goods of Mrs, Jen- nie Harris, and expectsto make busi- ness hum. Mrs. Harris goes to Kan- sas City to live with her son, Dr. Lewis Sawyer OBITUARY. Diep—At Fairhaven, Mo., June ts, 1893, Mrs. Sarah L. Porter, wife of David C. Porter, in the 56th year of her age. Sarah L. Bailey was born Feb. 4th, 1838, in Jefferson county, Mo., where she grew into womanhood. January 1860 she was married to David C. Por- ter, removing soon after to Kansas. In 1868 she removed with her hus- band to Bates county where she has lived ever since ona farm in Grand River township. She was blessed with afamily of six children, four of whom together with her husband, survive their loss. At an early age that may be paid in silver and will | she made a profession of religion and withdraw their investments already made. The foreign capitalist may be mistaken in preferring gold to silver, but he does prefer it, and this | fact has caused much distress and alarm in this country by reason of the withdrawal of treasury gold to pay for surrendered bonds and shares. If the Sherman act shall be repealed this demand for gold will cease, and we shall keep gold be- cause of the cessation both of silver purchases and of demands of gold from abroad. The silver men say that we ought to\get along independently of Eu- rop. The trouble is that we can- not.. The American farmer raises moré breatstuffs and cotton than this Ountry can consume, and it united with the Baptist ehurch of which she continued to the end of her life to be a consistent and valued member ever ready to honor her | Savior and help her race in word and in deed also. Of her it can be truly said that she was a pure, earnest, no- ble christian woman full of good works and than this no higher meed of praise can be awarded to any of Adam's race. In her ways she was gentle and womanly in her relations to others, kind and sympathetic in her faith in God and the triumph of all good she was grand and steadfast. “‘The good that men do shall live after them;” therefore, is the world blessed in the lives of such as Sister Porter; yea and in their death also which are triumphal epistles of hope telling the story of the life of rest and glory in the bright land beyond the river. May we that are left be- must h gold abroad or go to waste, and if i\goes to waste those who raise it ust suffer grievously. For- hind profit by such lives and deaths be prepared to awake at His coming jriding in the coast our ows upon them.
