Perier Talks.

Paris, Nov. 1S.-The members of the
Progressist group in the chamber of
deputies waited upon President CAST
nlir-Perier and assured him that he
possessed the confidence of Republic
ans despite the reactionary intrigues
against him and the Socialist attacks
upon him. In reply to the deputation
the president repudiated and sympa-
thy with reactionists. He declared
that he always and still belonged heart
and soul to the Republicans. 1t was
only by moving forward that it was
possible to solve the difficulties de-
volving upon them and to fulfill the
duties of a democratic government
toward toilfhg and disinherited
masses. AS first magistrate of the
republic he would never be a party
'uan.

JAPs VIII L CONSIDER.
oreasham's Offer aid Before the
Japanese Cabinet.

4 y
Washington, Nov. is. The state de
oartment has received information
Il at special meetiII Of the Japanese
ministry has been called to consider
, final answer to the offer OF the
United States to mediate between
Japan and China. The delay thus fur
met meet at Toxic, while the emperor
who has to be consulted, is at Hirosh-
Ina. What the nature Of the reply
will be is not definitely known, yet
strong intimations have reached the
officials here that the cabinet will ask
that China either make her offer di-
rect to Japan or else free it from all
doubt, specifying the exact amount
Df indemnity she will pay.
The fact was developed to-day that
the Tsang Ii Yamen, which is the
council cabinet Of the empire, made a
direct request to the United States
that this government offer it's services
as mediator. Heretofore it has been
understood that the request from
China was that this government join
rther pow ers in jntcrv ering, to which
this government responded in the neg
htlve and offered to set alone It now
appears, however, that the independ-
ent action Of this government was
formally requested by the Tsang T.
Yamen.
It was also developed that the sub
stantlal feature of the proposition
made by the United States to Japan is
as follows:
IF the United States was in position
to exercise it's good offices to bring
about good understanding between
China and Japan, would Japan feel
that it would be prejudicial to her in
terests to have such influences exert
ed?'
1t is pointed out that this diplomatic
language makes no offer to Japan, but
merely inquiries how she would enter.
tain mediation in case the United
States was in position to offer it.

x Csld-Blooded Murderer Hxpiates
His Crime.
Sturgis, 8. D., Nov. Hone Of the
most cold FLOODED crimes ever COM
mitted In this state was lawfully
avenged to-day by the hanging here
Of Jay Hicks. 4.5B
Some time in October, 1893, Hicks
went to neighbor named William
Walker and told him that he (Hicks)
knew. where he could make raise;
that there was an old man in the vi
cinity who lived alone, who had cat
tie and money. The old man referred
to was John Meyer, wealthy old
cattle owner. By persistent urging
Jay Hicks secured the consent OF
Walker to participate in the attempted
robbery. Robert Hicks, brother Of
Jay, also consented to aid. The men
purchased a 44-caliber revolver, and
on the evening of Dec. IA last, started
for the home Of their intended victim.
Before arriving at the place they dis
guised themselves. Meyer was found,
and the men prevailed upon him to
enter the house and prepare supper
for them. Jay Hicks was the direct
ing spirit in all that was done. Upon
entering the house Jay Hicks removed
a handkerchief from his face, and
probably having made up his mind to
kill the old man made no further at
tempt to conceal his identity.
After supper had been prepared and
themen had eaten, their host took his
place at the table. Finishing his sup
| per he arose. At this juncture, &C
cording to the testimony of Walker,
who subsequently turned states evil
dence, he heard the click of pistol
in the hands of Jay Hicks, who
| whistled and then said: "Hhere, old
man, throw up your hands," Hicks
pulled the trigger and Meyer fell to the
floor. While lying there severely
| wounded, Jay Hicks demanded his
money, and, after repeated protesta-
lions on the part of the old man that
he had no money, Hicks placed the
muzzle Of the pistol whiting six inches
Of his head and again fired, sending a
ball through the old mans mead, kill
ing him instantly. They secured a
riAing sum of money and set fire to
the house. The fire went out shortly
after, the evidences of the crime were
discovered, and some shrewd work on
the part of Meade county officials
fastened the crime where it belonged.
Robert Hicks is now serving a life
sentence at hard labor in he state
penitentiary, and Walker is serving a
ten-year sentence in the same place.
The hanging to-day is the closing chap.
ter in the bloody crime.

BAD MONEY MAKERS.
A Gang Of Counterfiters Are Captur

A Gang Of Counterfiters Are 0aptur-
ed.
West Superior, Wis, Nov. IT,
Chief Luton and Detectives Arnshaw
and Purchase, of the Superior police
department, to-day unearthed an ex-
ceptionally well equipped outfit for
counterfeiting coin, and through them
the government secured the arrest Of
the counterfeiters. A great amout Of
spurious coin has been in circulation
at Duluth and Superior Of late, and
the authorities were impressed with
the idea that the stuff was minted
here. The coins ranged from nicke!s
to $40 gold pieces and the mint cap
tured to-day included, naa5as for every,
denomination fIs1n 5 cents to $40.
The mint was located at GOT Ham
mond avenue, opposite a church. In
it for a year had resided Aesop Parl-
ardes and family and a boarder named
Frank Tourgeon. Two weeks ago the
police department went to work to
ascertain who was showing the queer
of which people complained, and Mrs..
Parlardes was found to be at least one
and her speciality was passing bad So
pieces. 1t was not suspected the plant
was in her house at first, but Chief
Luton decided at last that it was.
He telegraphed federal authorities,
and United States Deputy Marshal
Main, United States District Attorney
BriEssSs cf Madison I'D Sspec1a1 govern.
n1ent Agent Gailehar Of Chicago re-
sponded. A raid was made nnd Mr..
and Mrs Parlardes and Frank Teur-
gean were arrested. After searching
six hours $500 of spurious coin, moIds,
chemicals, metals, metals, apparatus
for melting, etc.. complete, were
found. Special Agent Gailehar says
he never saw a better outfit for coun-
terfeiting, and says Tourgeon is one
of the most dangerous men III the busi-
ness. He is iubilant over the capture.
Tomorrow the prisoners will be ar.
rafgned before United States Court
Commissioner Perkins. Later Mr..
Parlardes was released, it being be-
lieved that Teurgeon is the chief rogue
and the woman his tool for circulating
the money. The entire plant was
found in his apartments.

TERRIBLE FIRES IN THE MOUNT
AIMS OF COLORADO.
Several Miring Camps Have Been
Destroyed and q Number of Others
Are in Danger-The Loss Thus Far
i u Over $2, OOO, 900.

Boulder, Colo, Nov. 17.-Fire in a
saw mill west of the mining camp of
Ward, starting last night, spread to
the timber and has been doing great
damage, and this morning caused in
tense excitement here by reason of
sensational reports to the effect that
the mining camps Of Ward and Gold
Hill had been burned to the ground
Ward, however, did not suffer, but
Gold Hill was burned. Gold Hill,
having population of 500, is situated
fourteen miles west of Boulder and
Ward, with population Of 1000, is
five miles further on.
The fire started just west of Ward
in the heavily timbered districts. The
inhabitants were Harmed early in the
evening by dense clouds of smoke
settling down on the camp. The fire
spread through through the dry pine
timber with terrible rapidity, and set
tiers alon6 its path were forced to
leave their homes to burn and get into
the camps. The fire burning on the
outskirts Of Ward advanced toward
Gold Hill and swept over an area of
about eight miles. The fire is speeding
toward Copper Greek, and it is be-
lieved many small camps will be
| burned. ,.a,
The residents of Gold Hill who have
not come to Boulder have assembled
on the top Of Horsefelt mountain and
are watching the progress Of the fire
The wind is blowing furiously and
drives the fire before it in large sheete
of flame. f.E.. 4.
The property loss cannot at present
be told, but it will amount to over
$2,O00O00. There will necessarily be
great distress. The fire is spreading
along to the left and in the direction
of Sunshine. Sunshine is two miles
from Gold Hill. Among the impor
tant mines at Gold Hill for which
fears are expressed are the Alimac
kee and Cash Beerkin. A courier re
ports the destruction of about one
half Of the property of Camp Talcot
and the Prussian mine and mill. The
timber around Gold lake has beeJ
swept bare by the flames. -.

hat About Corn!

FROM the Seuaiia Democrat.
1t is told of Col. Tracey, the Re-
publican nominee for Congress, that
recently, in the course OF a speech
at Malta Bend-a thriving town in
the midst of the finest contrasting
section of the State and where the
crop this year will make from sixty
to eighty bushels per acre-he said:
"Gentleman, two years ago the
Democrats had emblazoned on
every wall, vote for Grover Cleve'
land and get a dollar a bushel for
your wheatl' Now you are getting
10 cents.'
Instantly a stalwart Democrat
exclaimed: "What's the matter
with so cents per busheI for corn?'
The crowd went wild. The colonel
didn't have a word to say in reply.
He recognized, too late, that he was
in the midst of a corn-groWing sec
ton and that wheat was Of seconda'
ry consideration, and that if he
charged the democracy with bringing
wheat down to 40 cents the crowd
would credit the Democrats with
the increase in the price of corn to
so and 55 cents a bushel.

In the death of this true woman
this society realizes that it has lost
one of its most valuable members.
She was one Of the charter members
of the organization, and with a zeal
that will ever he remembered by
her sister workers, she was faithful
to the interests OF temperance to the
end. Her lovely Christian character
was an inspiration to those who were
associated with her in any effort for
the elevation of erring humanity.
And her goodness was ever ready to
manifest itself in noble deeds, with
open purse and tender sympathy,
carrying out the spirit of Christ
taught in Matt. 25:40. Her prayers
and wise counsel will ever be with
us, and the memory of them will be
a stimulus to us as a society TO EN-,
ulate her virtues, that, as it has been
so justly said of her, it may be said
of us that we have done what we
could.
Day after day we think what she is doing
In those bright realms of air:
Year after year her tender steps pursuing,
Behold her grown more fair.
Thus do We walk with her, and keep uu
broken
The bond which nature gives.

A Great Conspiracy Exposed.

From the Louisville Courier journal.
AT last the secret is out.
Our Republican friends have dis.
covered the whole gigantic conspi-
racy and exposed it to an astounded
and indignant world.
The improving business, so they
tell us, is all a damnable plot of the
Democrats to influence votes. Mills
and factories, they say, are kept
running, without profit, until the
election in order to aid the Demo-
Gratis.
That is all. Isn't it easy when
once you see?
Observe what lucid and conclusive
logic:
A Democratic tariff, say our Re-
publican friends, is the greatest foe
to mills and factories. A Democratic
tariff eripples and closes down mills
and factories. Therefore, the mills
and factories are conspiring to run
without profit until November, in
order that they may help to carry
the election for the Democrats and a
Democratic tariff.
How simple great mysteries be
come when mighty minds lay hold
on them!
