Dsciseeiiseithtnesscninmeviad GOES TO LAW FOR $500 BILL _ An Independence Laborer Who Found it Thought it a Label K. C. Star. The ownership ot the $500 bill found upon a atreet in Independence by James Rilliu will he adjudicated in the cireuit court. Rillin, through his attorney, E. E. Hargrove, filed to-day in the cirenit court a law suit to replavin the bill, which is deposited in the First National bank of Inde. pendence. Billiu fs a laborer in Indenendence. Walking along the street in front of the Mormon chureh he saw the bill Iving in the middle of the car track. He thought it was a label off a to- mato can, but he picked it up and then fonnd that {t was real money. He took it home and gave it to his father, who had never before seen A bill of such large denomination, The next morning the father went to the butcher shop to get twenty. five cents worth of meat and offered the bill to be changed. The butcher suspected something wrong and notified Chas Levelle, aconatable. He toek the bill from Mr. Billiu and depoatted it in an envelope in the bank to await a possible owner. It is there yet. The law ia that the finder of money to the amount of $10 or more must within ten days make atfidavit before a justice of the peace as to when and where he found it. If the o ener does not appear within forty days and prove ownership the finder muat within thirty days advertise it ina newspaper for three weeks. Having done all this, he must hold the money for x whole year after finding it and then, if no one proves the ownership of it, the right to it, vests in the find- er and it cannot be taken from him. No one has proved the ownership to this particular $500 bill. But Bil- . livshaa not complied with anv of the legal requirements about affidavits or an advertisement. Mr. Roosevelt’s Georgia Trip. s Baltimore, Nov. 12.—The Balti- more American says to-day in a dis- patch from Washington: “«President Rocsevelt is to make his position known on the negro question. Moreover, he will do it in @ public speech and in the very thick of that portion of the country where it is the dominantissue. So much of nonsense has been said and printed as to the real sentiment of the presi- dent on the matter that both he and a pumber of frienda with whom he has consulted believe it the part of wisdom that heclearly state his posi- tion in order that ignorant clamor and abuse may be stopped. The president has accepted an invitation from the people of Georgia to visit that state in January aud deliver an address. The exact date and the place at which the speech: will be given have not been decided, but it will be left to the jndgment of Mr. Roosevelt and to the exigencies of official business. There is also a touch of sentiment in the visit. The president’s mather was born in Georgia and while in the state “Mr. Roosevelt will visit her birthplace.” Parker Benefits By Will. ! Kingston, N.

Baron Hayaahi Says Mediation by United States, England and France Would be Well Receiv- ed by His Country After Port Arthur’s Fall. ‘i London, Nov. 12 —Japan has made representations officially to Russia looking to peace. This action has resulted in fatlure, andauch represen- tations, even privately, probably will not be repeated by Japan Although the suggestion of a pa- cific settlement was made unoffi- cially, it actually had behind it all the weight of an offer by the Japanese government, It was made direct to Russia. No power acted as an intermediary, The proposition war put forward tentatively and un officially so that the Japanese gov- ernment would be in a position to deny any report that it was suing for peace. The failure of these direc negotiations, however, resulted in bringing intervention within a mea- sureable distance. The British for- eign secretay, Lord Lunsdowne's plea for arbitration yesterday even- ing at the Guild hall banquet is taken here to be a potnted suggestion to the United States and France that the time is approaching when the powers must take some action. Itcan be stated definitely that Lord Lansdowne made his speech with full knowledge that Japan will not resent a proposition looking to peace from the three powers, United States, France and Great Britain: There isa definite impression here that the initiative will come from President Roosevelt, although the action would be joint. I$ is mooted that Lord Lansdowne only spokeso opehly yesterday evening becavse he had good reason to believe that Mr. Roosevelt, if elected, contemplated making an effort to bring the bellig erents to discuss t2rus vi peace, Lord Lansdowne’s remarks are held by those in his confidence to mean that whatever the United States may do in the matter, Great Britain will co-operate, even in the event of France not participating. It is-known, however, that the French ambassador, M. Cambon, who con tinues his work assiduously to bring about’ some arrangement, hopes for joint action by the three powers. In an iuterview regarding the peace proposals, Baron Hayshi, the Jap- anese minister, said: “L should not be surprised to see the three powers named, or two of them, take the action suggested. Ex- actly upon what settlement peace could be secured itis at present im- possible to eee, but there is not the slightest doubt that combined repre- sentations, especially if led by Presi- dent Roosevelt, would have a far Teaching result” between two-coun~ tries, one of which was thoroughly defeated. . It is comparatively easy to make peace in this case, as neither, side is thoroughly defeated yet. The pros- pects for the success on friendly inter- vention have vastly increased. Since the commencement of the war the A I ce et en OS RE Es BRYAN AND PARKER STATEMENTS. Bryan Does Not Believe Sil- ver Can Be Blamed This Time—Says Result Was Due to the Party Sounding a Retreat When It Should Have Ordered a Charge— Parker Thanks Campaign Managers for Their Brilli- ant Work—Hearst’s State- ment. Lineoln, Neb, Nov, 9.—Wm. J. Bryan to night gave out anextended atavement concerning yesterday's election, which is intended to serve as his comment on the result and as an avawer to reports connecting him with a movement looking to the form- ation of a newparty. Bryan saidhe would not attewpt to deny all reports circulated as to bis future political action, but would let his statement serveto explain his position, Hesays in part: “The democratic party has met with an overwhelming defeat in the 4) Hational election As yet the returns are not eufticiently complete to per- mit an analysis as it is impossible to say whether the result is due to an actual increase in the number of re- publican voters or to a falling off in the democratic vote. This phase of the subject will be dealt with next week when the returns are all in. “The questions for consideration at this time are, what lesson does the election teach, and what of future? The defeat of Parker should not be considered a personal one. He did as wellas he could under the circum- stances; he was the victim of unfavor- able conditions and ofa mistaken party policy. “He grew in popularity as thecam- paign progressed and expressed him- self more and more strongly upon the trust question, but could not over- come the heavy odds against him, So called conservative democrats charg- ed the defeat of 1896 and 1900 tothe party’s position on the money ques- tion and insisted that victory could be won by dropping the coinage question entirely. “The convention accepted this theory and theplatform made no ref- erence to the money question, but Parker felt that it was his duty»to announce bis personal adherence to the gold standard. His gold telegram as it was called, while embarrassing to the democrats of the west and south, was applauded by the eastern press. “He bad corralled the indorsement of Cleveland, who certified that the pirty had returned to safety andsan- ity; he had the support of democratic papers which bolted in 1896, and he also had the aid of nearly allof those who were prominent in the campaigns of 1896 and 1900, and yet his defeat is apparently greater tlian the party suffered in either of those cases. “It is unquestionable, also, that Parker’s defeat was not local, but] | ISSUE ‘service.

I thought it was my duty. In the light of my present information Iam now even more confident that I did right. I shall never seek a nomina- tion for public office, but I shall to the best of my abilty serve the party that has honored me, and through the party serve my country. “The party has in the near future @ great Mission. Before long the people will realize that the tariff fed trusts and illegal combinations are absorbing the wealth of the nation. “Then they will wish to throw off these leeches, but the republican party will not aid them to do it, for its leaders appreciate too well the uses to which the moneys of the trustcan be put in political cam- paigns. “When the time comes, and it will, the people will turn to the demo- cratic party for relief, and the party should be ready, ready with an organization of patriotic citizens general, the returns from the eastern states being as disappuinting as the returns from the west. The reorganizers are in complete control of the party, they planned the campaign and carried it on ac- cording.to their own views Surely silver cannot be blamed for in Vault, Take $15,000 and Flee—Locked in Six- teew Hours. Prescott, Ariz., Nov.12.—James B. Storm, county treasurer of this county, has been found locked in the steel vault of his office, bound and gaged, with $15,000 missing from the capitol funds of the treasury. Storm had been in the vault six- teen hours when found today by his daughter. He says that about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon while seated in his office two men entered the door with handkerchiefs tied over their faces, and presenting a revol- ver to his head, ordered him to throw up his hands. Storm compli- ed and the two men closed the door of the office, and produced a string of baling wire with which they se eurely bound his feet and banda, They forced a handkerchiet into his mouth and pushed him inside the vault After gathering up $15,000 and lelsurely ransacking the office for more money the mea closed the door of the vault, locked it and departed, Storm was unable to give any aes curate description of the mien, PLACE MURDERED MAN’S HEAD IN SACK Decapitated Body of J. H. Smith Found Near Dixon, Mo. Dixon, Mo., Nov. 13 —A revolting tragedy was unearthed yesterday, when a decapitated body, which upon investigation proved to be that: of James H. Smith, a prominent far- | mer living four miles east of Dixon,. was found in the woods near his home. Mr. Smith recently moved to this city from Westboro, Atchison county, Mo. Suspicion centered on a former em- pleye, who wasarrested. Other par- ties aresuapecte 1. It was one of the most horrible murders ever perpetrated in this part of the state, It is thought that rob- bery was the incentive, as Smith was known to have collected considera- ble money on Saturday, The crime was committed some time Saturday night. After mutilating the face and head, the murderer tied a graip sack around his vietim’s head and earried it on horseback from Smith's home, where the crime was committed, to secluded spot in the woods where it would be burned or destroyed before being discovered.
