A RAISED BILL.
Gets a Stranger Into Very Serious
Trouble.

Gets a Stranger Into Very Serious
Trouble.
The proclivities and inveterate greed
some men have for money, has brought
many one into severe trial. There is a
right and wrong way to increase its
circulation, but it seems natural for some
Of these fellows to choose the illegal way.
Isaac Stains Is man of about 25 and
claims McKeesport, Pa, as his place Of
nativity. He came to this city yesterday
at noon on a Ft. Wayne train and
last night sported himself at
the "rriangle" on East Seventh
street, He rendered a 500 bill to the
proprietress for change, and half an hour
afterward he was esconced in "marble
halls.n When the woman received the
bill she glanced at II and detected some
thing wrong. She reported the matter to
the police before giving back any change.
An examination of the bill revealed the
fact that its face value had been tampered
with and the figure Of 81 "raisedn to $50.
Officer Harding took the man in charge
and escorted him to the Jail.
A reporter called on him there this
morning. He stated that he received the
bill in poker room on Smithfeld street
Pittsburg last Wednesday or Thursday,
and that having other money he had no
occasion to use it till last night. He said
he had not examined the bill heretofore
and believed it all right. Stains will be
held for trial on the charge of passing
raised money. The bill is a cleverly
executed one.

MORPHINE
COMES NEAR ENDING THE LIFE OF
MRS. EDWARD oHLlGeR.

She Takes an Overdose Of the Drug and
Has a Very Marrow Escape--The Par
ticulars.
The soporiflc effects of morphine are
fully recognized in the medical profession,
but when administered by persons igno-
rant of its rightful use, it is a dangerous
thing. Death from overdoses of this drug
have many times resulted,
Mrs. Edward Ohliger, residing on South
Rex street, near the FL. Wayne road, had
a sad experience with morphine last night.
For some weeks past the woman has been
in i'll health and unable to secure coveted
rest. Yesterday all day she fingered
about the house sick and weary, and last
night she determined to take some NOR
phine and thus secure one nights rest
Notwithstanding previous unrest.
Some morphine pills happened to be in
the house and she proceeded TO take four
of them. This was about o'clock. About
an hour afterward she began to grow
drowsy and could hardly keep on her feet.
She made trip to grocery nearby and
bought some lamp oil and then went
home and retired to an upstairs room.
1t was few minutes afterward when
the occupants Of the fret floor heard a
heavy thud on the floor accom-
panied by bysteric screams. They
ran up the stairway and entering
the room discovered Mrs. Ohliger
lying on the floor in a swoon. She was
picked up and laid upon a bed, and in a
few minutes appeared as dead.
Drs. Evans and Myers were summed
and efforts made to restore the woman to
consciousness. But the pale OF death was
upon her features and their efforts at the
time proved fruitless.
1t was decided to send for Coroner
Openhimer that he might view the res
mains. Before finally deciding the medics
again made an effort and succeeded in
inducing respiration, but that of the
slightest nature. Thus encouraged they
worked harder, which resulted in bring
ing the woman to q state of semi-con-
sciousness.
The woman lay in that state from
o'clock last night to o'clock this morn
ing, when she regained consciousness
When reporter called this morning she
reported herself as being extremely weak
although she is not in dangerous condi
ton. She will recover.

MINNEAPOLIS, June 8.-[Special.l- lit
was II :43 when Chairman Fassett raped
the convention to order. Rev. w. II.
Whipple, Episcopal bishop of Minnesota
opened the proceedings with prayer.
Walker of Nebraska presented gavel to
the convention and made speech in so
low tone that there were cries Of
"louder" from all parts of the hall.
The gavel was presented in the
name of the young Republicans OF
Nebraska In memory of the homestead
act. Fassett returned the thanks OF the
convention, The temporary chairman
announced the order of business to be the

The chairman announced that the report
of the committee on permanent organi-
cation was next in order. DC. Lockwood

the platform. He presented the name Of
Gov. Mckinley, of Ohio, for permanent
chairman. II was received with applause

hours. The selection of Mckinley as
permanent chairman has hurt his chances
and Reed is now looked upon by many as
the .most promising dark horse. Ever
since Reed made his spread eagle speech
he has been receiving ovations wherever
he has appeared and while the Ohio
Governors popularity has not diminished
his best friends freely admit that he has
been placed in an extremely awkward
position, as far as the Blaine and Harri'
son forces are concerned. Each side
maintains that its man cannot help get
ting there on the first ballot. The weather
is still rather against the Pumed X night,
whose followers rely in q great measure
upon spectacular effects. The selection
OF Foraker as chairman of the committee
on resolutions, will, it is claimed result in
big boom for reciprocity and a cor
responding black eye for high protection.
Foraker intimates that he thinks, as Blaine
thinks, and will see to it that these ideas
are embodied in the platform. The ap-
pointment of Senator Jones on reso-

Canton Lady Has a Strange Exper-
ience.
There is one woman in this city who
will remember yesterdays storm, for
years to come. During the roaring and
vivid streaks of lightning Mrs. August
Volzsr OF Housed street, stood in a room
in the lower part of the house engaged in
some work. When the pour down com.
menced she took little notice of it. just
then heavy roal of thunder accompanied
by lurid flash of lightning rent the air.
That was all she remembered about ii for
many hours afterward. The streak
struck the Volzer residence, knocked the
chimney to the ground and rent itself in
the interior. The walls were ripped open
and furniture and household articles were
promiscuously scattered about the room
The experience was a terrible one fol
Mrs. Volzer, but she has fully recovered
and desires no more adventures with the
electric visitor.

terry in failing to find grounds for
charges against Revs. J. G. X. Milligan
and j. T. Carson on account of the lat
ter's adherence to the East End plat
form. voted unanimously TO sustain the
complaint. The votes indicate the
strong anti-Liberal sentiment that per-
wade the synod. A report was made
from the committee on missions, which
was productive of much discussion on
the question of the establishment Of
mission in China. Many of the dele
gates opposing it. but it was finally de-
cided to establish a mission and send
missionaries and physicians as soon as
practicable. The report Of the commit

thence scattered. But a few minutes

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A Cow Attacks and Injuries a Small Bo,

A Cow Attacks and Injuries a Small Boy.
A horrible accident occurred about 8
o'clock this morning on Marion street.
A seven year old son of William Schaff-
ner residing on that street was playing
with some companions in the middle of
the road. A COW belonging to Mrs.
Holwick Of High street was running loose
in the street where the boys were engaged
in their sport. The Schatfner boy was
running across the street when the COW
took after him and caught him on her
horns and pitched him. The cows horn
caught the little fellow in the mouth
knocking out several teeth and terribly
lacerating his cheeks and lips. He sus-
tanned some bad bruises but will be all
right in couple of days. 1t is said that
this not the first time the animal has at
tackled people and 1t is becoming more
dangerous every time it is allowed to run

tween the factions. A great deal of Bit
terness has been created in the last two
days. It was matter of remark before
that the friends of the two candidates
showed only a pleasant rivalry in their
efforts to control the convention. The
leaders of both sides used every effort to
prevent ill feeling. All this has changed.
Charges are,made against each other by
the representatives Of the two candidates
and the struggle to control the doubtful
vote, has split the party wide open. Some
of the cooler men say there is only one way
to heal the breach and that's the selection
OF compromise candidate. This feeling
ia what has given strength to the McKin.
ley boom in the last two days, and 1t has
also started several other side movements.
Mckinley became very angry Tuesday
when some one in his presence spoke of
him as possible candidate. Shaking his
finger emphatically, Mckinley said

Charge.
Officer, Bosten, of Salem, came here last
night armed with warrant for the arrest
OF William Poole, married man.
Pool has a wife and child in this city

he made a careful search for the man

Gentry arrested Poole on a charge of
