SETTLED WITH GUNS.

Ell RENO o. T., July 29-lSpecial l.
Last evening, just before o'clock. several
shots were fired in the neighborhood OF
Frank Barling's saloon. Upon reaching
the scene it was learned that one Joe
Loggston had been shot and dangerously
wounded by Frank and Blant Darling.
The shooting grew out of quarrel be-
tween Barring and Loggston over wages
due the latter from the former. About
five shots We're exchanged. one of which
took effect just below Loggston's heart
One shot entered the thigh Of Blant Bar
ling, and another just grazed Frank Bar
ling's nose

The Biography of a Life Of Sickness and
Complete Restoration.

Mrs. NJ. j. Gales of Vernon, Texas, has
history in which every wife and mother
in the land will be interested. She is the
mother of several children. After the
birth of the youngest she was an invalid
from that condition o common 20 moth
ers called female complaint. Doctors were
employed, but could not cure her. They
called her case incurable liberation of the
womb She had no appetite, indigestion,
severe headache. coated tongue, palpltatlon
of the heart, constant bearing-down pains,
cold hands and feet, and urinary trouble.
After the doctors gave her up to die she
tried patent medicines, but they did her no
good She fiually wrote to DR.. Hartman,
explaining her case, aud he prescribed Pc
ru-na. The Pe-ru-na began at once to re-
lieve her: and, after taking several bottles
OF it, she WAS entirely cured. Pe-ru-na
never fails to be greas blessing to women
suffering in this way. and even in cases
that are absolutely incurable it will do
more than all other treatment combined.

THE CLASSIFIED SERVICE.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Logau Carlisle.
chief clerk of the treasury department,
commenting on Civil Service Commits
siouer Roosevelt's statement that the
force of the executive departments in the
classified service was about equally divid-
ed between Republicans and Democrats,
said as far as the statement applied to the
treasury department it was simply ridicu-
Ions. To say that 20 per cent OF the force
in the classified service in the treasury de
partment were Democrats was putting the
figures up too high. In some large
bureaus. on the 4th of March last, there
was hot single Democrat. Even now,
with change of the chief officers aud
chiefs of divisions. and messengers, there
were divisions with l50 clerks OF whom
not more than fifteen were Democrats, and
these included Democrats who hau dis
covered their Democracy since last fall.

INSURANCE CASE FEES.

TOPEKA, Kan, July. 29-Clerks of the
district courts throughout the state have
been requested by the insurance supern-
tendent to furnish him with immediate
reports regarding fees in all insurance
cases which appear on the records of these
courts. The law gives the insurance de-
partment the power of sheriff in all
cases against Insurance companies, and
when suit is brought against any of them
the department Is notified and they serve
the notice upon the insurance company.
For this a fee, the same as Is charged by
the sheriff, is taxed to the costs of the suit,
and IA record of it is kept at the insurance
department. Since the establishment of
the insurance department by the state leg
islature there have been $50 cases filed
against insurance companies, and i'll every
case fee of 81 - to 81. 20 is due that depart
ment, but the records show that only in
about 100 cases have there been any returns
from the clerks of the court of fees collect
ed, md in all of these cases there has been
a judgment either for the plaintiff or de-
fendant, and the costs of necessity fol-
lowed the judgment aud were paid. The
fund accumulating in this way Row
amounts to 5000 and the superintendent
is anxious To get it into the treasury.
Hereafter he will insist that the clerks re-
port the condition OF the cases and the fees
at the proper time.

whose seats are in dispute. making the
total silver people number
thir; y-seven.
SIT will be seen from the figures forego-
ing that the vote, as it at present stands,
is exceedingly close. Upon the last day
straw may turn the scale. 1t would seem,
however, that. speaking dispassionateiy,
the Changed ratio men hold the balance
of power, which means, of course, that the
Sherman law will be repealed, although
free coinage ut an increased ratio may be
its sequence There Is no way of arriving
at the individual opinions of members as
to what the ratio should be. Some of
them favor 90 Il, some want % to /, some
90 as high as 25 TO /, which is about the
difference in the value of the two metals
as they are marketed today.
advocates of the lower ratio claim,
however, that the moment the government
makes silver coinage free, the market
price of the metal will advance and that IN
consequence alta coinage ratio OF 20 to
the silver dollar will be worth more than
the gold.
''These are things to be settled in the
hereafter Those who believe that repeal
of the Sherman law is necessary TO the
financial healt of the nation see little IN
the senate figures TO discourage them"

EXTRA SESSION GOSSIP.

WASHINGTON, July 29-Members OF
congress and statesmen of high and low
degree have apparently ceased the unseen
ly scramble for Office. and, preparatory to
the coming struggle, are devoting them
selves to solution of The problem of the
present financial situation. Well-informed
officials hold to the belief that in his mes
sage to congress Mr. Cleveland will confine
himself to the matters to which he re-
ferred so tersely in his call for the extra
session. and that tie message Will be de-
voted almost exclusively To the financial
situation, with possible reference to the
pledges made i'll the platform bearing upon
the reform of the tariff They say Mr..
Cleveland is too shrewd IA man to confuse
the legislative branch of the government
by presenting for its consideration sub
jecLs which can just as well wait few
months, and thereby lessen tue Importance
OF the duty he deems to be imperative
the repeal of the Sherman law.
For this reason it is believed finance
alone will be dealt with. Indeed, all the
data supplied by the departments so far
bear upon this subject only, and Mr..
Cleveland has given the tariff nothing
bit casual attention. After congress
least taken some positive action, then
the other question of party policy will be
taken up and settled. 1t is the money
question, and not the tariff, in the
opinion of most administration officials,
that has caused the present situation that
has seized the country, and they say MIR.
Cleveland looks to his party to give the
relief which can only come through legis-
latiOn. This paramount duty Will, IL Is
said, be pressed upon congress.
The length of the session Is entirely
problematlcal If the anti-silyer men
have the strength to push the repeal law
TO speedy issue, the session will probab-
lv be short. 1t is thought the bill can be
easily put through the house in reasona-
bic time. without resoring to. the eXpedi-
enU of shutting off reasonable debate. The
stumbling block will be met in the senate,
where Republican and Democratic silver
members will unite in an effort to defeat
the bill, or, at best, force compromise.
If final result is reached before Decem-
ber, the tariff question will be left to the
ways and means committee, with instruc-
tions to formulate its work during the
recess, and congress will adjourn until
the regular session.
