UNCONDITIONAL REPEAL.

Our news reports from Washington
indicate the final triumph Of the one
mics Of silver. The silver purchasing
clause of the Sherman act will be re-
pealed, probably during this week, and
the disbursement of the white metal will
be complete. The actual effect OF this
action on the price of bullion silver can
only be conjectured at present, but it is
thought by most of those who have
given the subject study that it will have
little effec', one way or the other. There
have been practically no purchases by
the treasury for some months, and
owners Of bullion are refusing the offers
made FOR their stock, holding it for
higher prices. The silver mining indus
try will probably be in no worse condl-
ton than at present.
But tho S..sgrace to Montana!
When can the Treasure state again
lift her bowed head and look her own
children in the face? From every silver
camp in the great silver producing state
there came one cry,-came from mine
owner, miner, miners wife and miners
children,-"Send a free silver senator te
Washington to- help fight the battle fo1
our brend!"
Gov. Richards needed not the cry.
The contempt Of good mon has fallel
upon our state. Montana, richest O
states, too %niggardly to spend a few
hundred dollars to protect her greatest
industry! And who has thus shameC
Montana?
Gov. Richards!

BRECKrNRDGE, Mo-, Sept. 1s.-Red-
mond Burke, residing in the south part
of town, has for years past been ex.
tremelv vicious toward his family, beat
ing them and often Withholding even
life's necessities from them. Some two
weeks ago he drove his wife and little
boy from the house. threatening to kill
them if they ever entered the house
again. Mrs Burke went to Kansas
City at Tullis court, where she has q
married daughter living.
Yesterday morning about 4 O'Clock
Mr.. J. r. Peck and J. T. Alexander,
who lived near Burke's home, were
awakened by the screams of some per-
son as if in trouble, which was followed
by heavy groans, gradually dying away,
but heard no words. At daylight they
made an examination and from indica-
tions concluded that Burke had been
tarred and feathered and driven from
town, and not until about 6 O'Clock did
they find him.
About that time others of the neigh
bors had joined in the investigation,
when he was found in his bed entirely
lifeless, without any clothes on, but
neatly covered with quilt The back
door had been broken open, and tackled
to window. printed with lead PEN
ell on piece of card board, was this
notice: "Three days to leave or worse

Upon an examination of the body no
bruises were found, but piece of flour
sack was tied about the neck and had
been twisted tightly, showing that
death had resulted from strangulation'
