County Official Paper,
.A6AINSr NcKlNLEY.

e1iotad6 Republicans sre much
stronger silver mea than many Of
their political brethren In Nevada.
They want Mckinley defeated be-
cause he is gold Bug, ana they ars
not afraid to say 30. A Denver paper
says on this subject:
."There is no doubt now as to where
Mckinley stands on the silver ques-
tion. He is both a bold and frank
man, and in his speech at Niles, in
opening the Ohio campaign, he took
square grounds against free and un-
limited coinage. Thus the issue is
fairly. made, and there should not be
d Rebublican In Colorado, who, il a
true friend to the white metal, should
not use his utmost endeavors for the
defeat Of his avowed gold bug candl-
date"
That has the right ring. It shows
that in Colorado free coinage is placed
above party SUCCESS. How different
in boss-governed Nevada. Here
there is not a Republican paper that
has sufficient Independence or manli-
ness to say word against the anti
silver platform and candidate of the
Ohio Republicans, though each and
all of them pretend to favor free coin
age. The true friends OF silver, the
miners, merchants and farmers Of the
State, whose business would be great
ly benefited by the full rernonetiza-
ton OF silver, ought to see this and
TO emphasize their position on tho
free Coinage question, make the bosses
and other organs understand that
they will not support for Office in Ne
Vada MEN who ally themselves with IL
party, whether it be Republican or
Democratic, whose platforms and
candidates in the East are un-
equivocally opposed to free coinage

In the province of Wilma not long
since the wife of telegraphef named
StankiewicE was taken i'll and the fam
ily physician ordered that she be Inn
mediately transferred to the hospital.
Some of the other female members of
the household decided that they knew
better than the doctor what allied the
woman According to their story she
had been bewitched by her neighbor,
a Mrs. Richert and cure could be eff.
fected in only one way. A small GUAM
tity of the blood of the woman who
had worked the spell must by some
means be secured The husband of the
sick woman, securing a wagon, pro
ceeded to the field where Mrs. Richer
was at work and forcibly placing her
in the conveyance drove as rapidly as
possible to his home. There they found
the sick woman surrounded by several
friends. On seeing Mrs. Richert they
carefully closed all the doors and win
dows to prevent the flight of the WITCH
as they called her. This accomplished,
they struck her fearful blow in the
face, causing the blood to flow freely.
The mother of the bewitched woman
caught some of the clood in spoon and
poured it down her daughters throat.
