Burned BY Molten Metal.

Joseph koehler is the victim of a
very bad accident which occurred at
the Boston & Montana smelter last
Saturday afternoon. While working
at one of the matte furnaces a uuan-
tity of the molten metal, which was
at white heat, dropped on his head
and back and burned him severely.
AS soon as possible the injured man
was conveyed to the Columbus hos
pital, where he now is. At last ac-
counts he was resting as easily as
possible under the circumstances and
from all appearances he will recover,
although he will be laid up for some
time. Koehler is one of the Oldest
and most reliable employees Of the
smelter.-Leader.

free coinage of silver, to my mind.
The plain working people have been
benefited in the last hundred years
more by silver than gold, and the
whining of sordid avarice which we
hear now, that gold is sound money
and silver is not, has the profound
contempt of every man familiar with
the developments OF his country.
''As to the parity of the two met
ais when coined, even small children
of finance know that the purchasing
power of dollar is not fixed by the
quality or quantity of material which
composes it, but by these laws that
make it legal tender in payment of
debts. When silver is coined, there
fore, at the ratio Of 1G to / in gold
or at any other ratio, and clothed
with authority of law, it has never
failed to be on par with gold in its
purchasing and in its debt-paying
power.
'The coinage act of 1897 proved
itself wise and safe measure, and |
believe its re-enactment now would
be an excellent thing. | care but
little for the attitude of foreign ma
tlons on the subject. We are not
subject to their dictation, and for
their disapproval we may compensate
ourselves with approval of our own

Sprekels' Bank Account.

Considerable interest has been
aroused in San Francisco over the
check for 81, 100000 which Claus
Sprekels, the sugar king, drew Sat
urday on the Nevada bank. The
check was made payable to the Cal
ifornia bank, and it was thought that
possibly Mr.. Sprekels had trans
ferred his account from one bank to
another. He said however that this
is not the case; that he still has a
large deposit in the Nevada bank.
When asked how large that deposit
was, he said he thought he could
draw several such checks without ex-
hausting his account. He refused to
say what the check was for, but init
mated it was to purchase some of the
new issue of government bonds, for
which the bank of California had sub
scribed 81 100000.

JOE CONRAD'S VERY RASH ACT.
he Makes a Determined and Perhap.
Successful Attempt at Suicide.

An associated press dispatch from
Los Angeles, Cal, received Friday
night by the Standard says:
"Joseph II. Conrad, at one time a
successful merchant of Helena.
Mont, and subsequently traveller
for San Francisco house, took NOR
phine Thursday night with suicidal
intent and may die. This is his
second attempt He lost fortune
at the gambling table"
The dispatch enormously states
that Mr.. Conrad was prosperous
merchant of Helena. He was never
a resident of Helena, but had many
friends there, principally among the
old timers. For some years in the
early days he conducted prosperous
mercantile business at Fort Benton.
In 1886 he removed to Great Falls.
where he established large mere
antile house. Mr.. Conrad did a good
business here and had one of the
largest dry goods stores in this sec
ton of the state. He got deeply in
debt, however, and his failure a
couple of years ago was one of the
first indications of hard times which
came on Great Falls His failure
was bad one and did something to
shake the credit of business houses
in this city.
Mr.. Conrad has three brothers in
this state, all of whom are we'll
known. They are VIM. G.. Conrad,
president of the Northwest National
bank of Great Falls; Charles f.. Con.
rad, manager of the Kalispel Town
site company and president of the
Conrad National bank at that town:
and John Howard Conrad of Helena.
Mr.. Joe Conrad, after leaving
Great Falls, went to the Pacific coast.
where he has since been TRAVELLING
for California iirm.-Tribune.
Later advices from Great Falls are
to the effect that Mr.. Conrad died at
o:3o last Monday morning and that
Mrs. E. G. Maclay, of that place,
a sister of the deceased, started for
Los Angeles Tuesday morning to
take part in the funeral.

Japan's Full Recognition,

The full text of the new treaty be-
tween the United States and Japan
has been the main subject of COM
ment in diplomatic and official circles.
1t was scanned with great interest,
as it gave the first exact details of
the instrument by which the United
States formally recognizes Japan as
hrst-class power in the sisterhood
of nations. a rough summary of
the treaty, based on guess work and
conjecture, had previously been
given, but this publication was the
first opportunity to inspect YER
batim copy of the document, which
is boarded with strictest secrecy.
The treaty shows how fully the
United States has accorded Japan
the recognition she has now as an
enlightened modern nation.

Democratic Ticket.
FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT:
VIM. A. JONES,
of Richmond county.

WHERE is j. J. Mcdonald, the Re
publican nominee for Congress, and
where has he kept himself since his
arrival on the Eastern Shore about
ten days ago? White men for the
most part cannot answer these que
ries, nor can we, yet sufficient data
has been obtained by US TO give our
readers sufficient information from
which to form their conclusions as to
his hiding places and his reasons
therefor. The first information re-
ceived by us of his visit was that he
was at Eastville, and the next news
we have of him is that he had sud
denly disappeared. and later that he
was in attendance ut meeting OF
the colored people sometime between
midnight and dawn. We next hear
Of him as being met at NassawodoX
Station by HoSkins, colored politi
elan, and taken we know not where,
except that only one other white
man and he attended the meeting
which Hoskins had arranged for him.
Further information also obtained
by us is to the effect, that he had adj
dressed large gathering of the col
ored people on their fair grounds
near Mappsburg last week, and the
last report of him is that he was still
proving around, endeavoring to
band the eolored people together and
to get them to the polls next Tues
day. Democrats OF Accomac, is COM
ment necessary? Do you need APP
peals to make you do your duty in
the light of the facts presented TO
you? Do you want as your repre-
sentative a man afraid of the light
OF the day and who seeks by misrepre-
sensations and appeals Of the basest
sort, in the silent hours of the night,
to foment strife and to mass the col
ored people against you at the polls?
Mr.. Mcdonald, to relieve himself
of the odium that attaches to his
methods Of electioneering, tries to
make capital of the fact that col
ored man was appointed postmasterin
Westmoreland county on the recon-
mendation Of Mr.. Jones. In reply to
the Misrepresentation he would make
in regard to the appointment, the
following facts are submitted That
the appointment of the colored man
as postmaster was asked for by the
democratic chairman of that county
and endorsed by Senator Washing
ton and democratic voters; that the
colored man owned the only place of
business where the postoffice was
needed, had always been democrat.
and is only nominally postmaster, a
white man being practically the post
master and receiving all the emolu
ments from same. This, like every
other charge made against MIR. ones,
is found upon investigation to de:
tract nothing from the record which
he has made as a faithful and efficient
representative, and because he can
give an account Of his stewardship
satisfactory not only in this respect
but in all others, he will receive the
reward for his services we'll performed
on the 9Th of November Citizens of
Accomac have especial reason to be
grateful for the services he has rem
dered US and to show it by their
votes.

The people of the Eastern Shore
engaged in the oyster industry have
not forgotten the Indignation with
which they learned of the granting
of Hog Island Flats to c. Il. Lewis.
They did not know at that time upon
whom the responsibility rested in the
matter but in the investigation which
followed, it was charged and proved,
that J. j. Mcdonald, the Republican
nominee for Congress, was altogether
responsible for the legislation de
priving them of their rights, and
later developments showed that he
was not only the prime mover in the
matter, but resisted, when Z bill was
introduced to repeal the objection
able measure and correct the wrong
which had been done, all efforts in
that direction. The statement made
by Mr.. Blackstone, republished be-
low, written soon after the act was
passed and when all the facts were
fresh in his memory not only exhon-
crates him but places the whole re
sponsibility on the shoulder of j. j.
Mcdonald The letter of Mr.. Gar
land, also published below, is con-
elusive as to his status in the matter
when the repeal was asked for. This
same man, Mcdonald, think of it
citizens of Accomac, who to enrich
one man would take away the means
from thousands of our citizens of
earning an honest livelihood, wants
your votes. Think of it, citizens OF
Accomac, and show to him by your
votes the contempt you feel for him.

Of Accomac county. was much sur
prised to learn that MIR. Mcdonald
was thus seeking TO evade his res
possibility for this piece of legisla
ton. was under the impression
until now that Mr.. Mcdonald had
never concealed the fact that he
favored this legislation and that he
thought a great wrong had been
done Mr.. Lewis when the legislature
repealed the act under which be to ok
up this valuable natural oyster bar.
He was certainly member of the
Senate that passed this piece of I'M
lust legislation. he lived in Nor
cumberland county almost within
sight OF the flats and lie represented
the people of that comfy and word
from him would have defeated the
bill which he knew all about. | was
not q member of that legislature but
| was a member of the next and |
personally know that Mr.. Mcdonald
was opposed to the repeal of the act
which was accomplished chiefly
through the instrulnentality of Messrs
Blackstone and Chambers. dis
tinctly remember that more than
once he declared that it would be a
shame to take FOG Island Flats from
Mr.. Lewis and upon one occasion |
told llr. Lewis, in the presence of Mr..
Mcdonald, that I did not think the
legislature should have given him
this natural oyster bar and that !
should certainly vote for the repeal
of the law under which he held it.
1t may be that Mr.. Mcdonald voted
for the repeal but if so he unques-
tionably did in because public sen i
mont was so strong he could not
help himself. He not only was OPP
posed to the repeal but he denounced
Mr.. Chambers for his efforts to bring
it about. | cannot now remember
the number of times he discussed the
question of repeal with me; but he
endeavored to persuade me more
than once that it would be wrong to
repeal the law. Mr. Mcdonald may
find his connection with this matter
stumbling block in his way now
that he wants the votes of the oyl-
terman but justice requires that the
truth should be known.

EFFECTIVE campaign work has
been done in the last ten days in Ac
comac by Hon, VIM. A. Jones and
Hon. Lloyd Smith, assisted by the
speakers of the Eastern Shore, and
the good work is still going on, as will
be noted by the announcements for
political speaking in this issue. Mr..
Jones, wherever he has spoken, has
always had an enthusiastic reception
at the hands of our people. The
crowd lat Accomac G. Fl. last Monday
to hear his speech was the largest,
despite the bad weather, for a year
or more, and the gathering at the
rally at Parksley on Wednesday to
meet him was simply immense. There
is no doubt that the people, satisfied
with his record as their representa-
tive, will give him their support al
the polls. The apathy which existed
some days ago, we are advised, is rap
idly disappearing, and Accomac is
expected to roll up her usual Demo
cratic majority.
