The money value Of hands and fingers
has been made the subject Of An inter-
esting estimate by one Of the German
miners accident insurance companies.
According TO this, the loss Of both hands
represents . loss Of 100 per cent eff.

ability to earn . living. Losing the
right hand dsprecistes the value Of an
individual - . worker 10 to so per
cent. while the loss Of the left hand
represents from GO to 70 per cent Of
the earnings Of both hands. The thumb

SILVER PARTY PLATFORM.

The platform OF the Silver men
adopted in State Convention at Carson
declares that platforms should assert the
cardinal principles Of the political faith
Of the party adopting them without
~equivocation or invasion. In accordance
with the assertion, the platform denies
that the Government has the right or
authority to restrict or abridge the priv
ilege Of any citizen TO have gold and
silver coined into standard money OF the
United States at the legal ratio Of
l6 to l.
1t asserts that as one Of the conse-
quences Of the denial OF this right three
millions Of ourpeople are without the
comforts Of civilized life and every in
dustry in the nation is restrained and
dwsrfed. II demands that the volume
Of money should be adequate for the re-
quirements Of business. and that ell
money should be . legal tender for ail
debts. public and private.
1t demands the redemption Of Govern
ment bonds and that no more such bonds
shall be issued in time Of peace. On the
railroad question it is as emphatic as il
is on the financial issue. IL demands
the collection Of the Indebtedness Of the
subsidized railroads to the Government
rs il natures, without extension Of time,
and Government ownership OF such rail-
roads aud telegraph lines. and the n
forcement Of the interstate commerce
law. II declares that no grant Of public
property should be made for any other
than 3 public purpose.
1t guarantees to the people freedom OF
pursuit and the inslienable right to en-
Joy the full value Of the property that
their labor produces. 1t holds that cap
ital and labor should go hand in hand.
and should stand on an equal footing
before the law, and that they have the
legal right to organize for mutual pro-
lection.
It denouces the criminal suspension OF
acts Of Congress by the President and
his neglect to enforce the Antitrust and
Interstate Commerce Acts against
wealthy offenders.
Il denounces the purchase and sale OF
the elective franchise and demands the
Acknowledgement Of both parties to the
crime.
1t Endorses the language Of the consti-
tuition which says: mo lottery shall
be authorized by this State, nor shall
the sale of lottery tickets be allowed"
and condemns ell attempted legislation
TO change Ii.
The nominee Of the Silver Party Con-
v~ention is pledged. in the event Of the
election Of President going to the House
Of Representatives,, to vote for the nom
inee OF the Peoples party.
II fsvors the election Of United States
Senators by direct vote OF the people.

Senator Jones has excellent business
reasons for not taking up with the false
p~retense that the Republican party is the
friend of silver. He owns silver mines,
and he actually desires the free coinage
of silver. It is q business proposition
with him, and therefore the make-be-
lieve Of the Republicans does not 60
down. He is not working the silver
sentiment for political effect. but is actu.
ally trying to bring about the free coin
age of silver. He knows that nothing
can be accomplished in that direction by
staying in the Republican party. and
that is why he has left it. There is all
the difference in the world between .
man who actually mines silver and the
politician who mines the silver senti-
ment in the hope Of getting office p

THOSE BONDS
Further Express.on Of Public Opinion De
yaau6~d.

Last Monday night n petition was pre-
seuted To the city council asking them 10
call an election to vote on proposition to
issue $4,000 in bonds Tor the purpose Of
prospecting for gas. coal, oil, salt or ar
tesisa water There were over 100 names
on the petition, and it was referred by the
mayor TO the Judiciary committee and
city attorney to report on II at the next
mfeting.
YESTERDAY a reporter for the EAGLE in
tervie wed the mayor on the subject. He
said, II don't know what the committee
VIII do. but it is my opinion that the coun.
Gil will not call an election until public
sentiment on the question 10 more fully
expressed than il was in the petition pre-
sented Monday night last. To be sure the
names OF many representative busines:
them have suce told me that they had
changed their minds. An election costs
too much money to hold one without good
reasons Such an election AS the one con-
templsted would cost the city as much n.
a regular election, for exactly tue same
machinery would have 10 De employed.
People do not generally know. perhaps.
that 1t would require something like 400
affirmative votes to carry the Proposition.
A majority of all the voies cast al such an
election may not do it. for under the law
it must receive-a majority OF all the votes
cast at the last preceding general election.
1t would not be good business on our
part, then. to call au expensive
election without having some reasonable
assurance that the proposition would
carry and this assurance can only be made
by general expression Of pubic senti-
ment through q petition. We have go
such assurance yet. Even the papers
which generally reflect pablo sentiment
have not expressed themselves"
From the tenor OF Mayor Cex's remarks
no favorable action will be taken on the
petition till it is we'll supported by the
names of voters and tax payers.

SENSATIONAL DIVORCE.
1t viii Probably be Sprung Upon the Public
Today.

1t is expected that divorce suit will be
commenced this morning that will rival
the veiled woman sensation, for few days
ut least. Iu this instance the husband Is
the aggrieved party. A separation took
place last Saturday and the wife has gone
to the eastern part of the state. Both the
husband and wife are well known people
and have mingled good deal in social life
since their marriage, which took place last
September.
The allegations that will be made are
quite sensational aud will involve a fine
selection of the bachelors of the city who
are gilt-edge at oil the tiptop social events.
Theywill also involve lady or two who are
we'll known in society and church circles
and perhaps the developments at the trial
may end in another divorce suit which,
likewise, will be instituted by the hus-
band. An effort will be made to obtain
promise from the defendant in the first
case to agree to not resist the suit, in
which event the correspondents will not
be named, but IL she does not agree to this
the names Of half dozen prominent p.o-
pie will be mentioned in the bill Of par
ticulars. One of them is now sojourning
in the east; many more of them will take
a vacation if the woman in the case don't
come to their assistance by promising TO
let the case go by default.

be simple case of disturbing tie pesce
All the PARTICIPANTS IN the quarrel ap-
pear to he respectable people and Derby Is
stirred from end TO end with the case. By
the evidence it appears that the whole
trouble arose from the first quarrel OF Mr.
and Mrs. Henry McNeal over a trivial
matter in which the bride of three days
left her husband and took refuge in the
home OF Mrs Miunick.
Mrs Minnica testified that Mrs Stat
ford, who lived next door 10 aer called her
a liar and sundry other hsttsrinS terms
which began with G's or d's, and also
threatened 10 mob her that night. She
further testified that these four women
arrested came that night with the young
bride who had turned on her for her kind
ness aud said they were going to ride her
on rail. y lot of boys, she said, accom-
panied them beating tin cans and pans and
blowing horns and that they only dis
persed when she shot pistol out the up
stairs window.
Her SOP, young boy, testified exactly
similar, but not SO Mrs. Stafford, who
was very much ince nsed at being arrested
and at being accused OF cursine She
claimed that they had not intended to give
the lady rail ride and had never said so
but had merely gone TO the house to get q
dress which the young married woman,
Mrs. McNeal. had left there
She and each of the other defendants
testified that they heard a pistol suot after
they had le 1T the house aud that boys beat
tin pans but not near the house aud tbat
such things were common in Derby
Mrs. McNeal was put on the stand She
said that she had been married three
weeks; left her husband soon after nar-
riaee but had gone back to him. She is a
good looking woman and snirked great
deal when cross-examined rather too
closely by the attorneys concerning the
way they made up. She said that Mrs.
Minuick had tried co get her to make up
with her husband but did not say why she
went against the lady who had befriended
her.
The defense tried to impeach the tssti-
mony OF Mrs. ninuick by getting the op-
posite side to say that her reput alton in
the neighborhood for truth and veracity
was not good.
The arguments will be heard today, and
the outcome will probably ne that the
county must pay for tongue tang.e
