THE BLAND ACT.
War of the Gold Bugs On the Money
of tho People.


As a State and people silver mining ID
the sole reliance of Nevada. The other
| collateral interests are important and help
full, but we could not think of maintaining
sufficient population to carry on a State
without the mines. Destroy silver and
the bats and owls would at once take pos
session of all OF our towns. There would
be nothing left for us to do. Hence the
present fight against silver is a contest to
put our State and people to death. We
are looking on supinely while our very
vitals are being ripped out by the greedy
cormorants Of the East. 1t is well enough,
perhaps, to occasionally call attention to
what il being said and done in opposition
to our dominant interest by the monopoly
organs of the East. Following IL a lead
ing editorial from q late issue of the New
York Herald:
The in terviews on the silver question
which are reported in our local columns
to. day are notable for the variety Of voca-
tions represented. The fact is, there Ia no
trade or profession of business which il
not necessarily affected by the condition
Of the currency, and in which the vast
accretion of coined silver during the past
seven years has not been a disturbing ele-
ment. Various causes have combined to
render the disturbance less serious than it
threatened to be. prominent among
which has been the interposition of the
banks at a point where il might have been
disastrous. II is the judgment OF those
best informed on the subject that q con-
~tinusnce OF this comparative immunity
from the gravcst financial peril cannot be
reasonably predicated on past conditions.
The circulation of a deprecated currency
must at last work a general arrangement
OF affairs. In the instance of q double
standard the tendency is toward the de-
probation of one or the other, the cheaper
money driving out OF circulation the
dearer; and in this case, gold being the
standard among the majority OF CONNER
cisl nations, the forced effort to do bust
ness on a silver basis must necessarily
result in disaster. Under the Bland Act
we have been placed in precisely this stu
alton. A law passed by Congress over the
Presidents veto, and in defiance OF com
mon sense and financial wisdom, has been
permitted during seven years to imperil
the business relations of the entire
country; and all this has been accom-
plished and perpetuated in the interest of
the silver ring. The Bland Act must 60.

A COQUETTE AND A FOOL.
Their Tricks Cause Wife to Murder Her
Babies and Herself.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, July 16.-Word has
lust been received here of the closing act uf
a domestic scandal at Howden, Warwick
county, little hamlet thirteen miles from
here John Rogers, who keeps general
store at that place, is a married man and
has two children. He has the reputation
of being a steady business man and fond OF
his wife and children,
About three weeks ago Miss Emma Smell
a cousin of Mrs. Rogers, II pretty school
teacher from the rural districts OF Della
ware county, came to spend her summer
vacation with the Rogers family. Her
coquettish manner and dvivaciousnessio iound
a way to Rogers heart, and the staid BUSH
ness man became a fool and lost his head
and heart to his guest. The intimacy OF
the two in a short time became very
marked, and all the entreatles OF Mrs.
Rogers to her husband were OF no avail to
check it.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Rogers, unable
to stand the affair any longer, ordered
Miss Smell to pack her bag and baggage and
leave Rogers, who overheard this conver-
sation, entered and struck his vile to the
floor, and then, in company with his guest,
left the house, going to his store, IA half a
mile distant, and did not return till even
ing, when they found the house deserted.
Rogers fearing the worst, began search,
and found his wife, lying face downward, in
the water trough back OF the barn.
In the barn were found the bodies OF the
two children lying side by side, and each
with IA gaping wound in it's head: A bloody
deed that had been coniihlttedt tho .h"rr'hle
Mrs. Rogers had evidently brooded over
her troubles all day, and finally just before
the time for Rogers to return home, had
taken the chi dren to the barn and murder
ed them and then deliberately lay down IN
the water trough and ended her sorrows.
Rogers informed the neighbors OF the oc-
currence, and left ostensibIy.for Boonvllle,
to find the Coroner, but he has not return
ed. Miss Smell is in a critical condition,
the horrible tragedy having completely
prOstrated her.

ETAIIS
OF a Tragedy Which Occurred in
in Kentucky on Saturday--More
Trouble Feared.

LOUISVILLE. July 19.-2 a. m.-Meager
particulars are just received OF triple
tragedy at Stepston, KY, yesterday (Satur-
day.. It grew out Of an old grudge between
Town Marshal Perry Oakley and John
Smith. Very few words were exchanged
before Oakley fired on Smith. Before Smith
could return the fire he was shot dead in his
tracks. Mute Osborne, a friend OF Smith
came up to take his part, firing at Oakley,
when he himself was shot in the breast,
just below the heart, dying in half an hour.
Henry Smith, brother Of John, was next
shot twice, once in the head and once in
the breast under the heart. The fight oc-
Cured in store and it does not appear at
all clear who did the shooting, which was
all done with pistols. John Smiths body
was left in the store, but the wounded men
were removed to the house OF r. McGuire,
where they both died,
LArER-As Mcclure was going between
his house and the store with a loaded shot
gun in his hand he was fired on by Oakley,
without effect. Mcclure returned the fire
with one barrel of his gun, the shot taking
effect in Oakley's right eye, neck and body
He was removed to the residence OF Mayor
Cassidy, where he lies in critical condition
All was quiet at late hour last night
The inquest will be held to-day Sunday
More trouble is expected, as both parties
are well represented and full OF fight.

The New Tariff Shaky..

CHICAGO, July 1S.-Although the new
east-bound tariff only went into effect yes
terday, agents are already shaky as to it's
enforcement, and doubtful if it can be car
ried into effect. Shippers are holding OF,
anticipat ting a break before the week is out.
Contracts were made up to Saturday night
last, on both grain and provisions. at l3
and 17Az,cents respectively, and it will take
a fortnight or more to clean these up.
Wool has been guaranteed to Boston in
large quantities at 60 and 70 cents per
100 pounds, 25 and 30 cents below the
regular tariff, and it is charged that there
are contracts on this article out as low as
so cents, running until September. The
passenger agents are again in trouble, and
eastern rates of the Baltimore and Ohio,
although one of the foremost to entering
into an agreement for the restoration OF
the tariff and abolishment OF commissions,
is charged with Systematically feeding
scalpers and cutting through rates to New
York and other eastern points, from 50 to
ST. per ticket. A meeting OF passenger
agents will be held Tomorrow. and an cf
fort made to discipline the offending

Pacific Mail's Troubles.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1s.-The Pacific
Mail steamer ''Colma," which arrived to-
day from Panama, via Mazotlan, reports
having serious trouble with the Mexican
authorities at the latter place. 1t appears
that the Mexican Government recently
passed law requiring that all vessels
touching Mexican ports must produce, for
inspection, bills OF lading and a manifest
of the entire cargo, without regard to it's
ultimate destination. This the Captain OF
the hColima," arriving at Mazotlan on the
18th inst, was unprepared to do, as he
had no previous knowledge OF the existence
of such law An examination OF his books
was finally accepted as a compromise for
the non production OF the required docu'
ments, but authorities insisted on imposing
a $500 fine which the Captain paid under
protest, and sailed on July 18th, after be
ing detained fourteen hours beyond the
l1S1lal time.

Another knight of the Lather Elopes
With a Beauty.

ADA, Ohio, July 1.-THE Northwestern
Ohio Normal University, a school for the
training OF teachers, is situated in this
town. One of it's brightest Iupils was Miss
Chat Shockey, pretty girl IL years
old, the daughter OF respectable parents
who live here. She has a splendid alto
voice, and was prominent in Il choral
society here that recently won prizes
amounting to $3.50 in the contest at
Youngstown, Ohio. Her admirer was IA
white barber, Joe Gallagher, who came
here with his wife from Van Writ county
He is 80 years old. A few days ago
Gallagher sold out his shop and sent his
wife to Van Writ County to visit her
parents. He borrowed all the money he
could, including $50 from his mother
Meantime Miss Shockey received several
letters from professor OF music at War
saw, Ind, relative to engaging her as Il
music teacher at SO week These letters,
which have turned out bogus, she showed
to her parents. They consented to her
going and on Tuesday her father took her
trunk to the depot and bade her good-oy:
Since then it has been learned that she dld
not 90 to Warsaw, and that she and the
barber lodged as man and wife at Fort

The commission was to have heard the
testimony of members of the family, but as
the commissioners deemed that the testi-

pain upon his relatives. An affidavit made
by Walter Heine, OF New York, swearing
that he had served on the actor persona
notice of the lunacy proceedings, was ad-

FATAL FLAMES.
A Dwelling Burned and the Children
Perish.

PIrTsBURG, July 17.-Last night the resi-
dence of Josiah Evans, a two-story log hut
three miles from Grahamston, Clarified
county, was destroyed by fire, and his
children, ranging in age from to l5 years
were cremated. Evans was awakened by
strange noises, and under the impression
that burglars were about, took his gun and
went outside To his horror he discovered
his dwelling in flames. Before he could
reach the children, who were sleeping on the
second floor, the roof had fallen in,
and in a few minutes the building
was all ablaze. His wife and three younger
children, sleeping on the lower floor, were
taken out safely but the parents were forc-
ed to see their other children perish. This
morning hundreds of people were down to
the scene The remains of four children,
charred and unrecognizable, were gathered
up and buried in one coffin. The other two
were apparently reduced to ashes, as no
trace OF them were found. The parents are
crazed with grief, and the whole community
is saddened over the horror. The father
insists that the fire was the work OF an IN
cendiary, and his opinion is shared by
others.

Some Fears of Trouble With the Chey-

Special to THE MINER.

Special to THE MINER.
MILES CITY NJ. T., July 1S.-Excitement
ran high here this morning, caused by
report that five cowboys and seven Chey-
ennes had been killed in a fight on the Rose
bud Your correspondent Immediately
went to Fort keogh, and found that the
Pineridge and other Cheyennes on Tongue
river are quarreling with the Cheyennes on
the Rosebud, insisting upon the latter leav-
ing their reservation to go south upon the
war path. The Cheyennes on the Rosebud
are peaceable, and prefer to remain quiet.
The others threatene the life OF Indian
Agent Stephens atiRosebud. He fled to
Fort Custer, and telcgrarhed the facts to
the Department Commander at Fort Smell
ing, Minnesota. The latter ordered Major
Logan, OF the Fifth Infantry. at Fort
Keogh, formerly acting Cheyenne agent, to
proceed to the agency and investigate.
Logan has great influence over the North
ern Cheyennes on Tongue and the Rosebud,
and will probably save bloodshed. He
started at once for the scene with a small
detachment, and the citizens generally here
are now convinced that no cowboys have
been harmed, and that the trouble will
soon be uuelled.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July ia strange
and fatal case of poisoning was brought to
the notice OF the police OF this city last
night. On Friday night, about 8 O'Clock,
Ezekiel H. Beattey was asked by his wife to
give her glass OF tonic, which she was tax
ing for her nerves. He went to the closet
where it was kept and filled wine glass
from what he thought was the tonic bottle,
and gave it to his wife, who at once swal-
lowed it, and almost instantly said: 'Oh,
that's not my medicine; it tastes like poi, i,
son!'' "Why OF course it is your medicine, :"
said her husband, and to show her that he
was right he half filled the glass and drank
the contents. In few minutes his wife was
so i'll that he hastened to call Mrs. Robin
son, and as the two started back, MIR,
Beattey, who is about 60 years old, began
to vomit, and it was with difficulty that he
reached home The doctor found that both
had swallowed "battery fiuid,'' made up OF
sulphuric acid. sulphate OF copper, and
chlorate of potash, which had been used in
charging small electric battery kept in the
house. Mrs. Beattey survived until satur-
day night. Her husband is still in a dam
oerOua condition.
