Death in The Icy Blasts.

A terrible blizzard struck Oklahoma
Territory last Sunday. The icy winds
blew at fierce rate and two feet of
snow cove rs the ground, Reports of
suffering and death come from all
parts of the territory. In the strip
recently opened the people are in a
precarious condition. At Red Rock,
James Blount and family, consisting Of
a wife and two children, both girls,
aged 10 and II years, were almost
frozen to death. Mrs. Fannie Spencer,
a homesteader, II miles from Cross,
was found frozen stiff. All her fuel
had burned out. Many people are
still living in tents, and as fuel is
scarce their condition is awful. James
Mulligan, living four miles south of
Perry, was found frozen to death, and
his partner, Harvey Newcomb, died
from exposure and cold Is minutes
after being found At Ponca, Mrs,
Jennie Cramer and two children, Liz
zie and Sallie, were discovered frozen
stiff in a coyotes burrow, 10 yards
from their abode. Colonel Henry
Melton, a cowboy, who was with Buff
falo Bill at the Worlds Fair, was dis
covered dead under his horse by a
party of hunters near Newkirk. Miss
Jennie Johnson, young Indian teach
er who came to Alva recently from
Scranton, Pa, left her school Saturday
night for her boarding house She
has not been seen since.
Word comes from Cross that Sher-
man Stone and family, consisting Of a
wife and five children, were found sit
ting about stove, with their Threats
cut from ear to ear. The following
note found on table gives a horrible
story of murder and suicide in con-
nection with the storm. 1t was signed
by Stone:
Wood all gone; Molhe frozen to
death; the rest of us freezing. have
killed my family and now kill myself
to prevent further suffering. God
have mercy on us.
Stone was a homesteader and lived
in a tent 1t is thought that after the
snow melts hundreds of dead settlers
will be found, along with remains of
thousands of cattle.

So, 1000 for a Chunk Of Copper.

Mrs. Harriet Morrison, of Jackson,
Mich, wealthy widow of seventy
four years, accompanied by Charles
Helling, the husband of her adopted
daughter, and Dr. Blanchard, the
family physician, presented themselves
at the United States Mint in Philadel-
phia Monday morning with two heavy
bars of metal, which they supposed to
be gold and worth $4,000 The men
carried the metal, which weighed IS
pounds, in a grip, and the trio an
nounced that they had gold bullion to
sell. The mint attaches made an assay
of the metal and discovered that the
metal was nothing more than low
grade of copper and zinc, and worth
about s cents per pound. Thirteen
years ago Mrs Morrison advanced
$4,000 to a nephew, and recently a
stranger came to her with the two
cupola-shaped bars, which he said
were mined by her nephew in British
Columbia, and were worth $4,000,
and which the nephew wanted to give
her as a security for an additional
loan. Mrs. Morrison paid the inter-
mediary $4,000, and then the trio
named above started East to sell
the gold" The old lady is greatly
grieved over the swindle.

Ann others Sad Case.

Five years ago Miss Ann Offner, of
Romney, this State, was one of the
most beautiful young women in the
county, and was universally admired.
She was then little past seventeen
years old. She was an accomplished
horse-woman, and one day in August
she was on her horse, galloping along
the road, when a man stepped from
the bushes at the road side, and stopped
her horse. He then made an insulting
proposal to her, and dragged her from
her saddle. Miss Offner carried a re-
volver, and drawing it, shot the man
through the heart, killing him in
stantly. She was formally arrested,
and tried for murder, but was ac-
Quilted on the ground of self defense,
though her own testimony was all the
jury heard.
The killing of her assailant, and the
murder trial which followed, were Sc
we're strains upon her, and for months
she was laid up with nervous prostra-
ton. Finally she became stronger
and later, although she was never her
old self, she married j. c. Nef, and
went to live with him. Later, she
showed signs of insanity, and would
wander away from home This kept
up till last Sunday, when she was
found in an old shanty in the outskirts
of Cumberland, where she had for COM
panions several very rough men. An
officer made raid on the shanty, but
all the inmates escaped except the
poor woman. She seemed entirely
unable to comprehend her situation or
the unfortunate plight she was in.
She told the officer she was at the
mercy of the men who had her, that
she was friendless and homeless, and
unable to care for herself. She is still
quite handsome, but has the glare Of
insanity in her eyes. She was taken
charge of by the authorities, and will
be cared for. One of her feet has
been horribly burned in some way, and
she was unable to walk without as
sistance. Her friends are all scattered,
and her parents are dead.

BUSINESS REvlvlNe.

Industries of every sort, all over
the country, are again resuming ope-
rations, regardless of the Wilson bill
or any other feature OF the tariff ques-
ton. And when business has again
frightened up it will be upon more
substantial basis than for many years.
The policy of protection, we believe,
is directly responsible for the troubles
of the past year. Stimulated by the
high prices artifcially created by the
Mckinley bill, there was vast in
crease in the number of manufactures.
CAPITAL started in for the swag to be
obtained temporarily under Uncle
Sans sheltering wings The fact that
the same policy that promised great
profits restricted the markets to this
country was not properly considered.
Every establishment was forced to Its
fullest capacity, high wages were paid,
high prices asked and for time OBJ
tanned. Of course over-production
was the inevitable result. The nat
ural demand was supplied, and still
the work went on, until the mills and
factories were filled with goods that
nobody wanted. There could be but
one result. Goods that were made at
a high cost had either to be stored in
warehouses, a dead drag, or dumped
on the market at great sacrifice.
The factories naturally had to stop
work. Wages had to drop to meet
the changed conditions. For time
there was general business paralysis
Now the surplus stock Of manufac-
tured articles has been used up. The
legitimate consumption must be sup
Piled, as it always will have to be
supplied. The concerns that are
needed will have plenty Of business at
fair rates, but inflated prices can no
longer be obtained for the products
nor can inflated prices be paid for la
Dor. Purely speculative schemes will
not be resuscitated, nor will any bust
ness resume that has to depend upon
the government for support.
This has been sick country. Gov
eminent pap made it weak, and it had
bad sinking spell. 1t had to take
some nauseous medicine. Now it is
on the road to recovery. The Wilson
bill is tonic that will build itup and
set it squarely and honestly on its
pins. But let the people beware of
political uuacks.

Hon. WIN. L. WILSON started last
Thursday on his trip to Mexico. He
was not well when he started, and
when he got as far as Chicago he
became so i'll that he was obliged to
stop and call in physician He had
chill, followed by high fever, and the
doctor said was suffering from tonsili-
tbs. He resumed his journey and got
as far as Kansas City, where he became
worse He had to lay off there for
several days, the physicians positively
forbidding him to proceed, Yesterday
he left for Mexico, and the milder
climate will doubtless benefit him
greatly. Mr.. Wilson's illness, while
not dangerous, caused much concern
to his friends.

Cowhided at Cumberland.

A dispatch from Cumberland, Md,
dated last Thursday, says: Consider
able excitement and surprise was Gre
ated in this city today when it was
announced that ]. Stern, a well-known
clothing merchant, who is at present
not engaged in business, having been
burned out in the large fire last spring,
had been cowhided by young lady.
Yesterday Mr.. Stern, who is married
man with a wife and two children,
sent Miss Belle White, young sales
woman, note asking her to meet him
in the evening and take a walk.
Miss White answered the note, saying
she would be at the appointed place
on time. When she left the store in
which she was employed last evening
she bought riding whip and informed
her brothers that she was going to
whip Stern. Both young men walked
to the meeting place and awaited the
arrival of Stern; the latter and the
young lady both happened along in
opposite directions at the same time.
Stern stopped the young lady and re-
marked she was on time. Whereupon
Miss White drew the whip from under
her cape and cut Stern several times
across the face, bringing the blood.
Her brothers now came to her assist
ance and compelled Stern to stand
while their sister dashed him. Had it
not been for other interference Stern
would have been roughly handled by
Miss Whites brothers.
Later Stern had the Whites arrested
for assault. He says he didn't write
tho lattar

AT the meeting of the Democratic
campaign committee in Washington
last week Senator Faulkner, of this
State, was elected chairman of the or
ganization. Senator Faulkner has a
great task before him this fall, for
great will be the efforts of the Repub-
licans to discredit tariff reform. Ifhe
shall manage a successful campaign
his reputation as political leader will
be assured. Let every Democrat give
him earnest support.
