Some Plblu Talk,

ATLANTA, Ca, July IA Washing.
ton special says: 1t developes that the
financial statement which Mr. Cleve.
land sent out by the press associations
last Monday aight was caused by q
visit of somo New York linanciers
over here. They came To persuade
him to make another issue of bonds.
They agreed to place $50,000,OOO In
New York and New England. But
Mr.. Cleveland remembered the protest
that went up from the country when
he made his first issue. He had no
idea of facing another such protest and
he told these New Workers plainly that
he would make no bond issue, even If
they agreed to place them at high
premium. TO emphasize his determi.
nation to make no further bond issue,
to make this determination public and
to attempt to stir up some little patri~
otism among our New York bankers,
he wrote that statement. In his blunt
way he did it to let them know that
they could not beguile himinto another
bond Issue. He has determined that
the gold reserve shall stick to the very
stone flooring Of the treasury vaults
with not enough gold dollars to speckle
the stones before nc shall make anOth-
er bond issue. If there is ever to be
another issue Of bonds during his ad-
miniStratiOn he says congress shall
authorize 1t. He will assume the au-
thority no more without an express act
OF congress. Tho plain statement Mr..
Cleveland made to the New Workers,
who were the representatives Of a big
syndicate formed to force another is
sue Of bonds and gobble them up, is
said to have dissolved the syndicate.
If that Is true this money may be put
out In other directions and matters f.
may be eased up thereby.

MANDY'S TRIUMPH.
After Many Years 1t Was Hers, and
for Moment.

1t was a summer afternoon. The
rich. red gold Of the sunshine was
broken only by a few futtering leaf
shadows as a light breeze stirred the
trees. A mocking-bird overhead rioted
and reveled in showers of ecstatic
song. It was a day when life seemed
to burn and Jingle everywhere.
Except at the little cabin near the
spring, there was no sound, no sign
Of any occupant until the sun was low,
and the long shadows almost touched
the doorstep with pointing fingers. At
last a woman entered hurriedly, push
ing off her sun-bonnet. and showing a
pretty, coquettish face, flushed with ex-
element and ready to break into
smiles. She began to get supper, kind
ling the fire with fat pine knots that
blazed quickly. AS she brought out
the inevitable frying-pan of the south
she sang short snatches of song, often
breaking off abruptly and glancing
over her shoulder at the open door.
Suddenly she uttered little Cry. In

HARD TIMES FOR INDIANS.
An Educated Squaw Tells of Hel
People in Wisconsin.

GAINESVILLE Gazette: A pretty Indian
girl was an attraction on the 'Vesti-
bule'' last night. The young woman,
thought bare-headed and dressed in
the proverhal moccasins, red dress
and blanket Of her kind, had the added
and unusual distinction of being
clean. Her long hair was neatly
combed and braided, her face shone
with cleanliness and health and there
was a general air of refinement about
her quite foreign to her sisters of the
forest.
Seeing the interest manifested in the
young woman 4 reporter followed her
and questioned her and found her to
be Miss Nellie Kingsley of Black
River Falls, and a sister of George
Kingsley, a Winnebago Indian, we'll
known in the northern part of the
state. She is Twenty-Five years Of
age, single, and was educated at a gov
eminent school in Nebraska. She uses
the English tongue fluently and grace
fully, and, unlike her white sisters,
never INDUCES in slang. She pos
seSSes many accomplishment in the
line of fancy work and household
duties and, begging her pardon for
the liberty, would make some good fell
low a nice wife. Asked about her
kindred around the state, Miss Kings
ley said that they are promised very
hard winter, as all the berry crops
have been Enthusiastically burned up
by the drought. They will all re-
ceive S1S in December, but most of
them are already in debt, which is Sc
cured by the government annuity.
Asked about the selection of a chief
tain fo- her tribe, Miss Kingsley said
the question was proving hard Of set
Element, as all the young men aspired
to the position. George Winneshiek, a
nephew of the late Chief Winneshiek,
is a favored candidate because he
keeps sober, but little Winneshiek is
really the nearest 'to the throne" by
the line Of blood.

ANOTHER BOLT.

NO business man of any sense he
said. can be democrat after the eX
perience and trials of the past year.
1t has been a year of calami!ieS, and
certainly there were enough such with
out the addition of those imposed by
the democratic party. First the banks
began to fail. Confidence was rudely
shaken. Factories began to close
workmen were thrown out of employ
ment-another calamity. Then came
the dreadful strike that threatened to

the uncertainty caused by the tariff,

really seems as if the whole tariff was
framed for the benefit of foreign coun-
! tries and as if the democratic party
was determined to reduce the Ameri-

The Question of the Hour.

Suppose you have a certain sum to be
laid out in clothes for the fall and win
ter, say twenty, or thirty, or forty dol
lars. You need suit and overcoat.
How and where can you lay out this
money to the best advantage? A dozen
stores are urging their claims. but you
can only spend your money once. After
you've spent it, you'll congratulate or
"kick' yourself, as the case may be, all
the rest of the season. Every store
claims to have lower prices" and "bet-
ter goods" than others. How can you
tell which is the right one? Try Refo-
wich, he thinks he can please you. 1t
will cost you nothing to look at his
stock.
All his goods are new, bright and of
the latest style and suits will be made to
order at ready-made prices. He has no
rent to pay and can easily do it. The
best fits are guaranteed and clothing
made by him will be kept in repair free
for one year. Nothing like this has ever
been seen in Freeland before. Give him
a call. Square treatment assured.

corps of the town, which paraded the
streets upon the arrival of the candi-
dates. 7. w. McHugh was chosen as
chairman and Patrick Mclaughlin as

were all men who had raised themselves

voters everywhere to strike at it by
voting against any man who sympathizes
with religious prescription.

ing the histories of the various political

ed to with much attention and his clear
cut arguments had an appreciable effect
upon his hearers. Messrs. Rice and
Schappert followed with brief remarks.
