o'clock this morning, when the doors
were opened, a steady stream of people
poured into the building to get look at
the murdered people. Even at o'clock
the roads leading to the church were
filled with vehicles. which. by the time
announced for the services, filled every
available space within half mile of the
church. 1t is estimated that there were
5000 carriages and $1,000 persons pres
ent. Owing to the crowd, services were
held both in ana outside the church.
The jam to get into the building to see
the victims was so great that many
women tainted. Those who got among
the crowd were forced in by the pres
sure, and The only way of exit was
through window. The bodies we're
laid side by side in one grave fourteen
feet long and seven and ore-haIf feet

ENGINEER HELD UP.
Rough Experience of a Railroad
Man in Montana,

PHILIPsBURG,M Mont, July 49, Joseph
Salay, an engineer employed for some
time here by the Granite 81 Philips5urg
Electric Light company. was held up
last night when returning from Par
kersville, suburb, and robbed of S275
and some valuable electrical papers. 1t
appears he passed the robbers on the
road on his way to town about 1:3O a.
M, and, suspecting them as the parties
who committed the recent burglaries at
Rumsev, fastened in to alarm the au-
thorities. When about quarter of
mile from town ne was suddenly
pounced upon by some of the scoun-
drels, who were lying in wait for their
victim, and a fight took place, III which
several shots were exchanged. How
ever, Mr.. Salay managed to get away
from this party. but on reaching the
corner of the alley near the Merchants
and Miners National bank he was
again set on, knocked down aud re-
lieved of S275 and valuable papers. Up
to this time no trace can be found of
the parties who committed the robbery,
and it is thought they are well on their
way out of the country.

through the house of representatives in
the last session of the Forty-fourth
congress. all would have been settled
In favor of bimetallism. Had the
senate agreed to this bill or the subse-
quent one that had passed in the For
ty-hfth congress, we would have no
silver question today. But no, we must
wait. Wait till France and the Latin
union gets impatient with us and put
further limits to their coinage. During
last congress L did all could to pass a
free coinage bill in the house, the senate
having already passed it.. But not so,
the tariff was the great issue. We must
first reform the tariff. Now the tariff
is brushed aside that silver demonetiza-
ton may be accomplished. Had we then
passed free coinage bill the question
would have been settled. We would
not have been confronted with the
British demOnetiZing policy for India.
The repeal of the Sherman law un-
conditi0nally is all that is necessary
now to accomplish the end for which
the gold party have struggled from the
beginning. The Democratic party
promised first of all reform of the
tariff. Tariff reform is no longer talked
Of except in bated breath. The East
proposes to formulate tariff policy on
the lines of the original Chicago plat
form, brought forward by the protec-
ton element of the Democratic party
and not in harmony with the substitute
finally adopted by the convention. They
now also propose to repeal the Sherman
law without granting the free coinage
part of our platform. The East rode
the Republican party down to disaster
and death, now they are bestride the
neckS of the Democrats. The East seems
to have no use for the government,
especially the West and Southwest por-
ton of it, except to wiring the last drop
of sweat and blood from the people.
Our esteemed friends seem to regard
the Democratic platform and the silver
QueStlOt as mere see saw. as the
Sherman law end goes down the free
coinage eud must go up in mid air and
remain suspended there. "lt is plain TO
ali now that they played huge bunco
game on the Democracy of the South
and West by Justify preaching tariff re-
form, a measure so popular here, but
at the time intending to spring upon US
after the election, the sole Issue of silver
decentralization. 'lf the representatives
of the West and the South are true 10
themselves and the interests of their
constituents, this conspiracy will not
succeed. Ii they are recreant, the
people will hold them individually. if not
collectively responsible for their cring-
ing cowardice. ITO repeal the She--
man law outright and substitute moth
ing for it would percipitate a silver
panic throughout the world and prob
ably cause the universal demonetization
of a cOnsummation devoutly wished by
the gold party. 'If we ever intend the
free coinage of silver in this country
we must war for it noW-right now.''

UNCLE SAM is SLOW.
This Months Silver Purchase Has
Be& Very Small.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-It looks very
much as If the treasury of the United
States would be compelled to do some
active work in order to carry out the
provisions of the Sherman law, which
requires the purchase of 1850, 600 ounces
of silver every month. July is now
almost half gone, and still the treasury
has purchased only a fraction more than
16 per cent of the 4.500,000 ounces pre-
scribed, their purchases amounting in
ounces to 73S,000. The price paid when
the June purchases were completed was
1920 per ounce. July following,
1,27S, 900 ounces were offered, and only
100000 ounces were taken at 1900. The
next day $4,000 ounces offered
by telegraph at 1920 were accepted.
The 100000 ounces purchased Monday
at .7150 complete the purchases so far
made this month. The director of the
mint today made counter proposition On
1000 ounces offered at prices ranging
from 1900 to 1850, in which he agreed
to take the silver at .7150. This may be
accepted before the end of the calendar
day, if so, will not figure in the result
until tomorrow; even should this offer
he accepted, the total purchases will
amount to fraction less than 25 per
cent of the total required for the month.

ing. The rotunda was filled with Off
cialS and visitors who crowded around
platform ON which were President
Palmer, Capt. Andersen and Com
missioner Ravn and Prof Put
nam. President Palmer explained
that it had not seemed surprising
to the officials of the fair that
there should be great rejoicing so soon
after the appalling calamity that had
passed gloom over all. The Norsemen
had discovered America 500 years before
Columbus did, but humanity was not
yet ready for its settlement. Spain had
the glory of opening the country to
mankind, and Norway had the glory of
giving jurisprudence to America. Capt.
Andersen responded, viking cheer
was given by him and his crew, and
then they were taken up stairs and en-
tertained by President Palmer.

building shortly before 2 o'clock.

DIRECTORS INDICTED.
PlankingtOn Bank Officials Must
Answer Serious Charges.


MILWAUKEE, July 12.-All the di
rectors of the Plankington bank. which
failed some weeks ago as a result of
the suspension of Frank A. Lappen
& Co., whose worthless checks
the bank held to the extent of
s200,000 and the heavy run and
non-confdence which resulted, have
been indicted by the grand jury which
has been Investigating the matter.
About 10 o'clock this morning Clerk
Waller finished making cut the papers
necessary for their arrest and Deputy
Sheriff Lacey started out to look them
up. The first of the indicted men to ap-
pear was United States Circuit
Judge Jenkins, who was one of the
directors. He was taken into Judge
Wallber's private room in company
with Frank Bigelow. who will be'one of
his bondsmen. Next came Eugene S.
Elliott. another director, who was ac-
companied by c. l. Clasen. Mr.. Elliott
declined to talk about the situation, but
preserved his usually cheerful de-
meanor. Mr.. Clasen was also director
of the bank. William Plankinton, a
uliCCtOIs duu GuO AOCClfCI VI lhO
defunct bank, was the fourth
of the indicted men to come.
One of the directors who is also indlct-
ed, was found at home, but will appear
in court as soon as he is able. Judge
Walber fixed bail ate $1,000 on each
count, which really makes the bail
100000 each. The Indictment against
the directors are similar in form. One
charges that the said director received
deposit of $3.50 from E. R. Pantke & Co.,
May 16, knowing the bank to be lnsolvent
The penalty for the offense charged is
from one to ten years III prison, or not
more than fine of $4,000. Officials
around the court refuse to say whether
Frank A. Lappen is indicted or not,
but there is no doubt but what he is,
and that the charge is that of
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. 1t is not known at present
where Lappen Is. Until recently he has
been living quietly on the North side III
Chicago, but rumor has it that he is not
there today. The grand jury also files
report on banks and banking, which
has not been made public as yet. but
which is understood to favor the enact
Inent of law for the creation of the Of
fee of bank examiner.
The-indictment of Judge Jenkins is
the most sensational part of the grand
jury's work. There is a difference of
opinion among lawyers as to what effect
the indictment will have on his position
on the bench. Some maintain that
judge is as liable to Indictment as any
other man, and it will make no differ
ence to him as United States judge.
Others say that while he appears as
criminal before the municipal court he
can hardly sit Oh the bench of the
United States court, and that he should
resign.

Buffalo Bankers Called for Sher-

BUFFALO, July 12.-The Bankers
Association of Buffalo, desiring to put
itself on record on the important mat
tiers coming before congress at the extra
session called by President Cleveland
for Aug. Z next, presents the following
propositions: First The association
at meeting held in February, 1891, for
the purpose of protesting against
the free coinage bill then before
congress, also urged the immediae re-
peal of the so-called Sherman compro-
mise silver bill. Of the destructive ef-
feet of the act, business men need not
be told. The conditions Of the last two
years, and the distress of the last few
months are universally admitted to be
largely due to its operations. The asso-
citation, therefore, once more urges the
unconditional repeal of the purchasing
clause of the compromise bill of 1890.

LAKE CITY, Mimi, July 12.-The en-
campment of the First regiment, n. Il.
S. NJ, is over, and for the next two or
three weeks Camp Lakeview proper
will be occupied by regiment of actual
soldiers who do not regard military duty
as paStime. The last routine work of
the First was completed last evening,
and this morning the tents were all
taken down and prepared for storage.
Such manual labor is not considered
portion of the routine of the state
militia, but as several hours interviewed
before the time of departure, and as
the men were a little restless, they
were permitted to labor whilst they
waited. At about noon a ''bounciRg"
crew of twenty-five men, mostly from
Company l, whose object was that of
initiation, visited all the company quar-
ters. and bouncing scene of about two
hours duration ensued. Every recruit,
large, small and reluctant, was seized
by the force committee" and placed
into the "blanket." Each individual
received the regulation of three bounces,
and considerable amusement was af
forded the spectators. Col. Reeve,
after watching the fun for some time,
concluded that 1t was unsafe business,
and stopped it. During the afternoon
the regimental band visited each
company quarters and pleas
antly serenaded the members.
Last evening Surgeon r. g. Fitzgerald
gave pleasant reception to large
number of citizens and officers of the
regiment at his summer cottage on the
point overlooking the grounds. Ice
cream and cake were served, and very
enjoyable time was had.
The special train arrived at p. M,
and the miiitiamen and artillery de-
parted by way of the Twin Cities. From
what can be learned the officers were
well pleased with the progress at this
encampment and hoped that the at
tendance of the next one would prove
