TvoLovers Suicide.

WOODLAND, GALA, September lS.-The
lifeless bodies of Miss Mary Adams and j..
w. Montgomery were discovered this
morning lying in the rear yard of small
unoccupied residence. A vial labelled
''poison" and & Smith g. Wesson revolver
were found beside them Investigation
showed that Montgomery first shot Miss
Adams in the left temple and then fired a
shot through his own. Miss Adams was
daughter of Hon. L. B. Adams, who rep
resents this county in the Legislature.
Montgomery is the son of Judge Mont
gomery, of Stockton. The supposition OF
the murder and suicide is that it was the
result of a refusal on the part of the lady's
parents to permit their marriage.

an unusual Offer
the one that's made by the propri-

Unusual, but made in good faith.
It's a reward of $500 for an incura-
bic case of Catarrh. If you have
one, the moneys for you. But you
can't know whether you have one,
till you've tried DR.. Sage's Remedy.
What's incurable by any other
means, yields to that By Its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, it cures the worst cases,
no matter of how long standing.
That's the reason the money can be
offered. There's a risk about it, to
be sure. But it's so small that the
proprietors are willing to take it
The symptoms of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and often
sive; eyes weak, ringing in ears,
deafness; offensive breath; smell
and taste impaired, and general
debility. Only a few of these
symptoms likely to be present at

No Danger in Free Coinage

The addition to our circulatingme-
dunn up to the present time which
free coinage would have caused could
not have exceeded fifteen million dol
lars. Such an addition would have
been n great boon in the present
stringency of the money market. The
prediction that European coin would
be sent here if our mints were opened
to free coinage of silver is idle. Eu-
rope needs all her silver coin. 1t is
ali held in reserve for her redemption
of paper or is in circulation among
the people. 1t is the peoples money,
which cannot be withdrawn without
great Inconvenience. 1t is circulat-
ing on a par with gold at a ratio of
- 12 to 1. This is Il valuation
higher by more than three per cent.
than that placed on the silver in the
standard dollar. There is no silver
in the world which is not valued
higher than our own, except the Mex
lean dollar, which contains little
more silver than there is in the stand
ard dollar of the United States. The
only cheap silver in the world is the
small accumulation of silver bullion
now on the market. The accumula-
ton not only depresses the price of
silver, but weighs down the price of
all commoditiPs.-,SeHatOr Stewart in

4 Frlc Facts,

Twenty pounds of sugar for 81 is a
good thing. tits better than fourteen
pounds for 81.
If six additionalpounds ofsugar for
81 is Il good thing, more ploughs,
more clothing, more glass, more
hardware, more kitchen furniture,
for n dollar would be better also.
Six additionalpounds ofsugarhave
been given to the laboring man by
taking off the tax on sugar.
Why is it that more of the other
named goods could not be purchased
for 81 if the tax was taken off them.
The average price of day'slabOris is
81. This means 20 pounds of sugar,
an increase of six pounds. If all
articles were reduced in like manner.
81 II week would be equivalent to so
Il week. \ man working for S2S
ii month would really receive $40.
Do our laboring men wish to take
this means of securing better wages?
If so, strike for tariff reduction.

1T is the opinion of some ofthe Uni

increase that is just now taking place
i'll immigration is the result Ofwhat is
likely to be the action of next Con-
grcss i'll passing laws restricting the
landing of the slums and jail-birds OF
Europe i'll this country. They also
think that the newspapers of the
country are entirely to bc credited
with the existing feeling regarding
the present laws ofimmigratiOn, that,
until the press took the matter up,
those living in the interior cared lit
tie who were and who were not ad-
mitted but now the pressure being
brought upon congress from allquar-
ters will undoubtedly cause that
august body to take steps to prevent
the arrival of undesirable immi-
grants.

The SrhOOE RcO., Lar.

Inc following article, clipped from
the Jefferson City Tribune. is very
pertinent Just now, in view of the
fact that this question has been thor
oughly discussed among the farmers
OF this county. The Tribune SAYS:
"Gov. Francis will soon appoint a
school book commission COMPOSED
OF four persons, of which the state
superintendent will be cx-officio pres
ident, to select Il series of textbooks
Tor the public schools of the state.
st. Louis, Kansas City and, we be-
Iieve, st. Joseph, are exempt from
the provisions Of this law, but every
other school district in the state will
be governed by it.
The law is a questionable one and
the chances are that it will prove
highly unsatisfactory. There are
many reasons that can be advanced
i'll support of such an opinion. In
the first place, it is not such law as
the people asked for Whether right
or wrong, the people petition.d for
the enactment of ii law that would
enable them TO cease paving tribute
to school book monopoly. The
law passed by the legislature can
hardly accomplish as much unless
something unexpected turns up. The
publishing houses belong to a pool
and there is no competition between
them. The commission is required
TO advertise for contract for sup
plying the school districts with text
books for the next five years. Ii
suitable terms are not offered the
commission can reject the same and
leave affairs as they exist. 1t is Ell
tircly optional with the publishing
houses what prices are charged, and
every school district is likely TO have
contract saddled on them for five
years.
If the law had been left alone as
passed by the house it contained
proviso and an appropriation OF
100000 which would have enabled
the commission toe have compiled
and published series of textbooks.
This provision would at least have
had the effect of securing better terms
from the school-book combine.
Under the circumstances we hope
for the best, but candor forces us to
admit that the future does not ap-
pear very inviting.
