NOTHING since the ''chippy" scan

the public such a shock as the revela-
tions resulting from the arrest OF VIII
liam H. Rhett for vile conduct with
little newsgirls OF this city. 1t dis
closes a horrible state Of things, and
one which is a reproach to any Chris
tian community. The depravity OF
the little girls and the monstrous vice
OF the wretches who corrupt them
are equally appalling. The facts

The same question comes up in con-

saw one train pass 1t cut off from
his view the other train coming in the
opposite direction, probably prevent

track from seeing it also. He was in
a hurry and he rushed in front Of the
second train and that ended him. If
there had been a gate he could not
have done it.

THE question for settlement by the
Oman inquest is not whether the
guards at the railway crossing did
their duty or not; it is not whether
Oman was rash or not; it is whether
the erection of gates at the crossing
would have rendered the accident i'm
possible.

very fine brush the silver will appear

In cleaning silver there are but two
things to be removed, dirt and the
sulphide of silver, which appears as a
coating on articles exposed to the air,
and is especially noticeable on spoons
that come in contact with yolk Of egg
In the foregoing preparation the
alcohol and ammonia dissolve all dirt
and sulphide and the whiting re-
moves them. The whiting must be
soft and free from grit.
1t is difficult to remove ink stains
from the silver inkstands, penholders,
paper weights and other articles of
the writing table, for which this metal
is now so much used. Where ordinary
means fail it has been recommended
to make a little chloride of lime into a
paste with water and rub upon the
stains, which will quickly disappear.

To this Country on Account of Grain Ex-
ports-A silver Crisis Predicted.
LONDON, September 23.-The repre-
sentative of the Associated Press has
had interviews with Rothschilds, Spey-
ers, Lazard Bros, and other bankers,
and they all agreed in their statements
that further large shipments OF gold
are going to America. The Rothschilds
despatched an additional el00,0O0 to-
day. The chief clerk Of this house
said that 1t was not ascertatned whether
France would make the bulk OF the gold
export or whether It would fall on Eng
land. But considering the fact that
France has a worse harvest than Eng
land IL would seem that she should send
the bulk of the gold. The Bank OF
France may, however, as on former oc-
casions. obstruct the exports BY raising
the premium on full weight coin.
In an interview with Mr.. Robert
Giffen, head OF the commercial depart
ment and comptroller OF coin returns OF
the British Board Of Trade, was asked
what truth there was In the calculation
that England and the continent would
be forced 10 part with gold amounting
TO sec, 600, 600 to pay for the imports OF
American grain, Mr.. GI1en rdiculed
the estimate. He said that before fl0,-
OO0. 900 In bullion was sent TO America,
both the Bank Of England and the
Bank OF France would raise their rates
Of discount and check the drain. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Giffen, not bullion but
securities and exports will go to Amer
lea 10 pay for grain. Undoubtedly, he
said. there would be q heavy drain OF
gold for several months TO come, but
the payments for grain were not the
whole cause of such drain. An lmpor-
tant factor In the financial situation
was the silver question. Stable Amer
lean houses, he declared. were making
preparations TO face silver crisis,
which is now inevitable, by making
gold purchases in Europe.
When asked if such a crisis was In
eyitable, Mr.. Griffin replied:
'In my opinion it Is impossible TO
avert It.. The United States has be-
come overloaded with paper currency.
The issue OF silver certificates to the
amount of e12, 900, 900 sterling annually
was n gross legislative mistake, and Is
bound to bring crash speedily"
In response TO an Inquiry as to how
soon the crash he predicted could be
looked for, Mr. Griffin said:
February will probably realize the
worst OF the position. do not see how
grave trouble can be ayerted by RENE
dial legislation. There is hardly time

Congress could agree on the means"

GUTHRIE, o. r, September 23,-The
excitement is subsiding. In front of the

awaiting to file claims. Fully 1000 peo-

opened this morning, aud when the
door was opened the crowd made rush,
and for while it looked as if there
would be riot Several men were

the land Office, who issued numbered
tickets TO those who desired 10 file, and
in the morning the numbers Of these
tickets will be called out, and in this
way further camping ont all night In
front OF the office will be avoided.
On the train which came in last night
about $50 more people arrived. The
conductor said that all the roads leading

There was some trouble at the Iowa

Mr.. Mills almost entirely ignored the

amounted 10 S29O. 100000, making a
total cost to Americans OF 100000, 900,

this tax"
He asserted that high tariff made low
wages and low tariff vice versa; that
the taif thrOttled agriculture and was
rowing the seeds OF monarchy. He said
the poorneSs of the Republicans argu-
ment was shown in their efforts to lower
the price OF sugar by taking the tax off
and lowering the price or tin by putting

campaign, has received letter from
the Senator to the effect that his SER
vices would be highly appreciated, and
that the party was in need of all the
workers that could be obtained. The
Senator advised the clerk to apply to
Secretary Noble for leave of absence
and. il necessary, to show the Senator's
letter, so that there would be no trouble
in getting off. Judging from the tone
OF the Senator's letter, the Republicans
are hard pressed for party workers, and
are anxious TO receive all the help they
can from the departments here.
As matter of course, all the cam
