This Is Cruel OF st. LouIs.

ST. LOUIS, Jan 26-There is no truth in
the statement published in a Chicago pa
per that Miss Sadie Conley, who was mar
ried to Jockey Mooney after an exciting
elopement, is the daughter of a st. Louis
millionaire. The young lady's parents are
in extremely moderate circumstances. Her
mother keeps a boardingh house and the
"stern parent" is IA plain, ordinary, every
day clerk. The announcement of Miss
Conley's marriage to Jockey Mooney has
not created as much as a ripple on the cur
rent of society gossip.

EVANGELIST MILLS.
Great Outpouring of the Spirit
at Des Moines.
ONE DAY DEVOTED TO RELIGION.

Business Stopped and the Whole Popula-
tion, Engaged in Seeking the Lord-One
Thousand Conversions Reported for the
Days Work and 1s, 600 Since the Meet
ings Began-Men Quit Swearing and
Chewing Tobacco and Thieves Make
Restitution of Their Plumber.
Dies MONIES, Jan. 2i-Mr. Mills, the
evangelist, blocked the wheels of trade
yesterday and turned thousands from the
store, the workshop, the office and the
home to the house of God. 1t was day of
prayer, religious feast. Des Moines put
on Sunday clothes and sanctimonious
air. The blinds of the business houses
were tightly drawn. Even the drug
stores ceased operations and the voices of
the newsboys were hushed. People con-
versed in low tones. The vehicles and
street cars seemed to move along with
less noise than usual and altogether it ap-
peared that half of the population had died
and the other half was going to the
funeral
One Thousand Gathered In.
From morn till late at night a constant
stream of humanity was going and COM
ing from the large tabernacle where the
revivalist held his meetings. Never has
Des Moines witnessed such an outpouring.
Mr.. Mills preached to the people and prayed
for them, and last night when he figured
up the days work he found that 1000 sim
ners had been brought into the fold, max
ing the grand total of souls he has saved
since he first commenced operations ten
days ago $4,000. The managers of the meet
ings are more than satisfied with the days
proceedings. They were surprised with
the unanimity with which the business
men observed the request to close their
doors.
A System of Prayer Meetings.
The service commenced almost with the
break of day. At s o'clock neghborhood
prayer meetings were held. The people in
every one or two blocks gathered at a GER
tain house in the neighborhood and sang
and prayed for forty-five minutes. These
services were largely attended and ma
jority of those present avowed their inten-
ton of becoming Christians. From neigh
borhood meetings the people went directly
to the churches Every church of every
denomination was open yesterday morn
ing at 9 O'Clock In most instances they
were crowded to the doors.
The Meeting at the Tabernacle.
AS soon as these services were over those
attending went to the big tabern Gle, the
hour for meeting being 10 a. m. Here
there was crush to hear Mills, who ad-
dressed 5000 people, seated, and every
aisle packed. Mr.. Mills said that any
thing that detracted the peoples interest
from these meetings at such time as this
is a crime. He urged all to be what thew
pretend to be to their pastors, to do right
in business, in their home and in their own
hearts. The afternoon and evening meet
ings were also largely attended An over
flow meeting was held in a church adioin-
ing the tabernacle.

LOUIS McoMAs CONFIRMED.
He VIII BE a Judge of the District su-

ne VIII he Judge of the District Su-
preme Court.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 26.-For the first
time this session there was a protractad
struggle in the executive session of the
senate over presidential nomination, that
OF Louis McComas, ex-secretary of the
national Republican committee, to be as
sociate justice of the District supreme
court. The opposition to the nominee in
the senate was based almost entirely upon
the ground that McComas was not a resi-
dent of the District. The Republicans re-
Piled to the Democrats on this point by re-
ferring to the presidents set by Cleveland
In his District and territorial appointments.
The Vote Was Decisive.
When it came to vote there was no at
tempt to filibuster, and the result was de-
cisive, the vote standing 3s for confirma-
ton to ID for the opposition. Because of a
failure to adopt the usual resolution noti-
flying the president of the confirmation the
result was not formally announced at the
conclusion of the session.

PAPA coNLEY SUBMITS TO FATE.

The Runaway ST. Louis Girl and Her
Hubby Are can Right"
CHICAGO, Jan. 26-Mr and Mrs. Conley,
of St. Louis, father and mother of runaway
Sadie, who was squirrel" to John Mooney,
the jockey, Tuesday, arrived in town yes
terday, and at once went to the police sta
ton where their daughter was detained.
The meeting was fearful one, and Mrs.
Conley tainted at the sight of the runaway
bride. "You know, papa, that you and
mamma were married very young" sobbed
the girl when upbraided by her parents for
running away, and the shot appeared to
tell. John is a good boy, even If be is a
jockey" continued Mrs. Mooney, and grad
ually the placidity of the party was re-
stored.
Married Again by Priest.
Then an adjournment was taken to Cap
tain Shea's Office and Mooney was called
into the conference. Mr.. Conley indig-
nantly refused to discuss the runaway
match with outsiders, claiming that it was
none of the public's business. Mrs. Con-
ley's chief regret seemed to be that the
marriage ceremony had been performed by
e.justice of the peace and not by a priest.
Matters were patched up in Captain Shea's
sanctum and early in the afternoon Mr..
and Mrs Conley witnessed the second mar
riage of their daughter and young Mooney
by priest of the Roman Catholic church
at Hoyne avenue and Twelfth street

Little or Nothing Done in Congress

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Neither the anti
option bill nor the Cherokee outlet bill had
any show of consideration yesterday in the
senate. The time of the session was taken
up in routine matters. The only excep-
lions were the introduction of bill for the
admission of Utah as a state and an
amendment reported from the committee
on naval affairs looking to further in
crease of the navy by one battle ship, two
armored coast defense vessels, ten gun
boats and eight torpedo boats. The rest Of
the days session was occupied in the con-
firmation of McComas as Judge of the
District supreme court.
Filibustering against the bankruptcy
bill was inaugUrated in the house by Kill

any business

Men Who Swore Swear No Mora Peni-
tent Book Thief.
Whether the influence of these meetings
is permanent or not Mr.. Mills has done a
great work, and is the talk of the town. 1t
the word. People seem to have gone mad
over B. Fay Mills. The evangelist is the
sole topic of conversation. On the street
in the cars, the stores, the clubs, and the
home Mills is the one thing discussed
praised, and worshiped. Women especially
seem to have gone mad over him Men
who have heretofore sworn like troopers
now never permit an oath to pass their
lips; those who were frequenters of drug
stores now pass them by; smokers have
ceased smoking, and chewers have ceased
to chew.
One Instance of HIS Influence.
A book that had been stolen wears AGO
from the state library was returned Tues
day and placed upon the shelves of that
institution by the person who had pur-
Joined it. For many years the book had
rested in the library of some Des Moines
citizen, increasing the number of his vol
umes under false pretenses, as it were
hs box is y law book, one of the editions
of small size. The card of the state library
had been torn from the cover and the name
of the institution, written on the thirtieth
page, had been cut out. 1t was clear case
of theft.
Two Words Tell the Story
But the strangest thing in connection
with the peculiar affair was the writing
that was done on the first fly leaf; two
words told long story; told of repentance
for sin, of wounded consciecne and of q
desire to perform a restitution. These were
the words: "Penitently returned" Which
is but one of the good works of the Mills
meetings. Mills will get about $500 for
his two weeksw work

UNCLE SANS MONEY.

In view Of the silver debate in
Congress, consequent upon attempt
ed legislation on the subject of f.
nances, the question as to how
much silver the United States owns
naturally becomes interesting.
When one begins to consider the
matter he at once plunges into the
realms of large figures. The Uni
ted States is the possessor of about
5000 tons of silver stored in the
vaults under the control of the
treasurer. Only coin is kept
in the Treasury vaults. Bars
and bullion are stored in the SUBJ
treasures and the mints. There
are eight vaults in the Treasury
used tor safe keeping and storage
OF money. The total value of the
contents of these vaults is 1858, 176-
600. Only two of these vaults are
used for the storage Of standard sill
yer dollars. Vault No. ! contains
10L,000,000, while the smaller
vault, known as No. 2, has in it on
ly about $4,000, 600. In addition
to this there is $4,000 worth of
fractional silver. The other vaults
are used for holding bank notes,
bonds, money tor daily use etc.
There is in actual circulation on
Jy about $58,9l7 900 silver dollars.
More than half of all the silver
owned by the United States is
stored in Washington. At the
mint and assay offices there is $780,
231, 900 worth of bar silver. Alto
getber there is 1881, 100000 in
standard silver dollars, while there
is S12 1869, ,000 in fractional curren-
cy. Up to the time Of the strln-
gency in the money market about
fifty millions was redeemed in
gold and only about a halt million
in silver, but since currency has be-
come scarce there has been a large
demand for silver to pay off hands
at factories and other places where
there are pay rolls.

Gould, editor of the Little Rock
Tribune, by an alderman of that
city was an outrage of the meanest
typo. The course of this paper has
been to expose in as elevated a
manner as possible the frauds out
RACES and corruption for which
Little Rock is so noted. It vas
the strict adherance to this policy
that caused the editor to be unmer-
cifully bruised up. This departure
from the ordinary by Bro. Gould
is as commendable as it may some
times render his position perilous,
and if he continues to hold forth
and successfully carry out his we'll
begun work of supplanting vice
and degradation with morality and
true virtue in the seat of old Pulas-
XII county, the victory will be great
and the gratitude OF the entire State
his deserts.

WHAT IS FREE COINAGE.

The Baxter County Citizen de-
fines free coinage thus:
Gree coinage is simply this: Any
person who has gold or silver bull
lion either in large or small quaint
tiles may take it to the United
States mint and have it made into
legal tender coin according to the
standard established by the Gov
ernment, which in silver is 412 1-2
grains to the dollar and in gold
one-sixteenth as much as in silver,
the ratio of value between the two
metals being at present 16 to l..
The money thus coined is legal
tender tor. all debts, public and
private, and is returned to the own
er less the charge for coinage. This
money does not represent any debt
but is free; it never has to be re-
deemed.in anything. 1T is money
and nothing else but money with
no superior and without hereafter
or settlement Under the pres
ent law gold alone holds this posi-
ton. And what the South and
West are struggling for now is TO
have silver placed upon an. .equal
footing with gold."+
