gested.
THAT is true replied the senator

fies the law. Why should we be called
here to repeal 1t when he is allowed that
power? had always supposed that

but we will not be beaten in this
fight" he continued. "You will see
that"
Acting-Director Preston is only an en-
ploye of the treasury department and
not an officer appointed by the president
and confirmed by the senate. Therefore
the senator's remedy of Impeachment is
not applicable to his case.

REPEAL WILL COME
Though the Senate May Delay
Considerably.

Though the Senate May Delay 1T
Considerably.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 1.-THE
Star this evening sums up the silver Sit
uation as follows:
There are three factions in the house
on the silver question and consequently
three elements to be taken into consid-
Grafton. While the radical anti-silver
men are demanding the repeal of the
Sherman law and nothing else ard the
radical silver men are declaring that
legislation favorable must go with the
repeal, much the stronger element in the
house appears to be that composed of
men who want favorable silver legisla-
ton added to the repeal. act, but If they
fail to secure amendments favorable to
silver will still vote for the repeal. In
other words, If the naked proposition to
repeal the Sherman law is presented to
them. all silver amendments having been
voted down, they will vote for the uncon-
ditionaI repeal
I'm this situation the only danger
which the repeal advocates seem to be
confronted with is the possibility that
some amendment for the free coinage
of silver at an increased ratio may be
added to the bill before the final vote
comes. If they can so divide the silver
men on the amendments for the various
ratios as to defeat all the amendments
or TO adopt a ratio which will not be
popular, they will have no trouble in
accomplishing just what the admins
tratioD wants.
ut is believed that, should a ratio
Of 10 or IL to 1 be adopted so as to pre-
vent a vote on an amendment for a
higher ratio, when it came to a test
the house would vote to substitute an
unconditional repeal of the amended bill
On vote for a naked repeal with all
is little doubt that he repeal bill would
pass the house by large majority.
In the senate this element enters
somewhat into the situation. A large
number of senators will vote for some
legislation in connection with repeal
which will be favorable to silver, but
will not refuse to vote for unconditional
repeal if they fail to get what they want
Some of the senators who will do what
ever they can to get added TO the repeal
measure a provision for the coinage Of
silver at an increased ratio are counted
on by the repeal men to use all their in
fiuence to prevent any filibustering or
obstruction to the passage of the repeal
bill if amendments fail Their position
is this: That they are in favor of re-
pealing the Sherman law conditionally,
how, even if they can get no conditions"

THE GREAT DEBATE.
Fiery Addresses Made to Empty
Benches.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-The silver
debate in the house today did not attract
much public interest.
The knowledge that no vote can posi-
bly, be reached under the resolution of
procedure until Aug. % causes members
TO take little interest in the proceedings,
and it is doubtful whether there was a
quorum present in the house at any
time today. Many members left for the
seaside last night, resolved to remain
until it should be time for them to re-
turn to deliver the speech which nearly
every man is preparing on the financial
situation. 1t seems likely that the daily
spectacle in the house for the next two
weeks will be that of an impassioned in
dividual delivering a fiery speech to a
score or two of his personal friends and
an array Of two or three hundred empty
benches. When the house adjourned to-
day there were not more than fifty rep
resentatives in the hall.
The first speaker was Mr.. Wheeler, a
democrat of Alabama, who continued his
speech OF yesterday against repeal. The
moment the Sherman act was repealed
he said, that moment there would not
be line or word in the laws of our
country recognizing the coinage Of sill
yer, and there never would be during our
lives or the lives of our children.
Mr.. wheeler was followed by MIR.
Morse, a republican of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Morse said that the country had
come to two roads. Sound finance
beckoned it on TO national integrity and
honor; free silver beckoned it on to
financial ruin and distress. He was
heartily in favor of repeating the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act, but
the remainder of that act, declaring a
parity between the two metals, was fine
craftsmanship and should stand. So
much of the presidents message as re-
lated to the currency met with his most
unqualified approval. So much of the
message was good republican doctrine
But while he agreed with the president
on this proposition, he could not believe
with the chief magistrate that the pres
ent appalling business situation was due
entirely to the purchasing clause of the
silver act. 1t was more largely and
principally due to the threatened tariff
legislation which had unsettled values
and paralyzed business, and there could
be no relief until the democratic policy
in regard to the tariff was defined.
Mr.. Haeter's Views.
Mr.. Harter, a democrat of Ohio, who
was one Of the leading anti-silver men
In the Fifty-second congress, took the
floor in advocacy of the Wilson bill.
He disclaimed any idea of partisanship
on this question. 1t was a patriotic
question. If party gain was to accrue
by saving the country from its present

A DIABoLICAL CRIME.
Terrible Outrage Upon Georgia
Young Lady.

CARROLLTON, Ga, Aug. PA dia-
bolical crime came to light at Brooks
Station, Fayette county, about fourteen
miles this side of Griffin, Wednesday.
Walter Reeves and John Price are ac-
cused of assaulting Miss Dora Bishop, a
beautiful and highly respected young
lady and daughter of John Bishop, a
well-to-do farmer, living two miles north
of Brooks Station. Miss Bishop says
that John Price made an engagement
to take her to church Sunday night and
came for her in his buggy at the ap-
pointed hour. They had Travelled some
distance, when Price stopped and Walter
Reeves came up to the buggy out of a
deep woods. The young lady says she
was dragged from the buggy by the two
young men and forced to submit to an
assault under threat of instant death
She started to run to her home but was
caught by young Price and replaced in
the buggy. He told her he would kill
her If she attempted to run and If she
ever made known what had been done to
her Price took the young lady to church
and back to her home, where he left her
Warrants were sworn out the next morn
ing for Reeves and Price and Wednes-
day Reeves was captured, but Price es-
capped. The whole country was aroused
and although young Reeves belongs to
one OF the most noted families of Fay
cite and Spaulding counties, he came
near being lynched He had a pre1inl-
mary trial yesterday at Brooks Station,
and although the young lady, whose rep
utation for veracity has never been
doubted, swore positively to the facts as
stated, Justice Carson released him. The
people are highly indignant over the ac-
ton of the justice, who is a cousin of
Price. 1t is said that officers are close
after Price. He was seen near Bremen,
twelve miles north OF here.

The White Sulphur Springs Of Monte
yuma. Ind, seem to grow in favor with
the public each year. The old friends
Of the resort GENE back to battle in its
curative waters and bring new patients
to test its merits. While all health re-
sorts are complaining of dull times and
lack of business, this resort is inn
proving in business and popularity each
year. This can only be attributed to
the fact that the public generally are
beginning to find out that the water of
this celebrated place has no equal as
medicinal or curative water.
Some tests made during the present
season have shown that the water has
the power to destroy the germs of vari-
Gus diseases. and all the lower forms
Of life that usually live in water soon
perish when placed in the White Sui
phur water. A fish will only live few
minutes. a frog ten or twelve minutes,
turtles from one to two hours. while
cattle, hogs and horses will go miles
to get the water and seem to thrive and
grow fat while drinking it.
The observation Of these facts led
the proprietor of this place to make
some careful investigations as to the
real merits of this water as a germ
destroyer, and each test was more than
satisfactory, showing that diseases that
are usually attributed to bacim or
germs Of disease yield quickly when
brought in contact with the water of
these springs. A careful investigation
of the analysis Of this water shows that
of 426 grains of mineral ingredients 396
are Of either sulphides, sulphates or
chlorides. all of them being considered
by the highest scientific authorities as
the surest disinfectants known.
These minerals are in solution made
by nature and are in a finer state of
subdivision that can be formed by mix
ing these ingredients together in
chemical laboratory; therefore. they act
quicker and with more certainty than
medicine compounded from similar in
gradients, even though prepared by the
best chemist in the land.

istry in the Rose Polytechnic school,

One of the great qualities Of this
water is that it seems to aid nature to
throw off and eliminate from the system
many forms of diseases that medicine
is powerless to reach. This is done by
eliminating through the kidneys, liver
and skin the obstacles to the perfect
circulation of the blood through all the
arteries Of the human system, while the
diseases that effect the stomach and are
now considered to be of germ origin.
the mere presence Of this water in the
stomach destroys these germs.
All diseases that affiict the liver or
bowels seem to yield readily to this
water.
Recent investigation proves that even
the cholera can be reached by enemas
of warm salt water, yet this water will
penetrate the system in half the time
that any solution made will take
Russian medical experts found that
all patients who died with cholera upon
whom post norton examinations were
held were found 70 be suffering with
some chronic form of stomach trouble
and that a healthy stomach could al
most be considered cholera-proof
This water cures all forms of stomach
troubles and keeps the system in a
healthy condition, and its known power
70 destroy the germs of disease coupled
with the treatment Of the leading Ger
man specialists, leads some of the most
prominent physicians Of Indiana and
Illinois to claim that this water would
not only be a preventative, but a cure
of this dreaded scourge to humanity.
This season has been one of more than
usual gaiety at this resort. The great
dining-room of the Riverside hotel,
standing on the banks of the Wabash,
where the river breeze sweeps through
the building. is one of the few where
dances can be held in summer time. We
