The Government Receives n Number of
Offers Of Gold.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. The true
amount of the gold reserve at the close
of business was $95, ,34S, ,642. Since the
recent heavy shipments of gold the
government has received number of
offers Of gold in exchange for notes.
This is particularly true of banks in the
Northwest, where small notes are in
active demand in moving the grain crop.
Other banks, apparently disinterested,
have offered gold in exchange for silver
certificates. Several Of the banks Of
fered gold suspected of being little
under weight, as it was stipulated that
it be received at it's face value. Some
of the other conditions imposed by
Western banks could not be accepted,
but in all cases where the government
consistently could do so the offers have
been accepted.

More or Less Hurt.
MINNEAPOIIs, Sept. 18.-Another ac-
cident occurred On the 500 line. Full
particulars are not obtainable as yet, but

WITHOUT A PRECEDENT.

Judge Dellenbangh of Cleveland Hands
Down Interesting Decision.
CLEVELAND, Sept. lS.-Judge Delen-
baugh of the common pleas court hand
ed down a decision Of unusual interest,
being probably without n precedent in
Ohio. A man named Collins Ross
struck child, Bertha Rosenberg, with
an empty crock, the girl hauing acci-
dentally thrown water from a hose upon
Ross. He was arrested on the charge
of assault and battery and fined in po-
lice court, but the fine was never paid.
Later the child died and Ross, who was
again arrested for manslaughter, set up
the defense that he had stood the trial
oncs and had been fined, and could not
be tried again. Judge Dehenbaugh de.
cides that Ross must stand trial TO,
manslaughter. The attorneys for the
defense have noted an exception.

Believed the Grand Jury Will Release
Mrs. Perkins.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 1.-THE lndlca-
tions are that Mrs. Lora Perkins, who
stands accused Of the murder OF Mrs.
Lola Hawkins, will not be held for trial.
So far as can be Learned from observa-
ton and desultory oonver ttion with GER
tain of the witnesses VINO have been
called into grand jury r ON, the i'm
preston prevails that tn jury is OF the
opinion that not suffici' mt evidence to
convict could be adduceo
Realizing this, and nc caring to put
the county to the expei SO K lengthy

discharged from custody in the very

The Supervisors.

The board of supervisors is still
tusseling as q committee of the
whole with the seven plans presented
yesterday by the building committee.
While the star-chamber action of the
board meets with anything but the
approval of the public, especially
when the county office-holders are
given privileges which are denied
our heaviest taxpayers, it must be
said that the most wise and just
thing the board has done is to ex.
clude Chairman Collins, for whom
up to the present time the building
committee has had such extreme
fondness. Indeed, the plan, as set
up by the committee, was to con-
tinue to give Mr.. Collins the inside
track. and to have him explain the
plans, but Supervisor Hasson, who
posses ;cs something OF practical
knowledge himself. was chosen to
perform this duty. The public,
however, are awaiting with interest
the boards most gracious pleasure.

Pursuant to the call of Chairman

telligent representative gathering OF
democrats assembled last evening at
Turner hall to discuss matters rela-
tive to the coming spring election,
the prospects of which are encour-
aging. The expressions of the COM
mitteemen and others were favorable
to holding the caucuses and conven-
ton about the middle of March, the
dates being fixed at Saturday, March
16, for the primaries and Monday the
18th for the convention.
Mayor MedilI Complimentcd.
In the discussion as to probable
and available candidates, there was
but one sentiment, and that, that
Mayor Medill should bear the party
standard to victory again this spring
as he did two years ago. Aid. Will
liam Roth and Robert Wagner were
also mentioned as suitable men for
the candidacy. The mayor most en-
phatically merits the confidence his
party has in him, for his administra-
ton of municipal affairs stands as
one of the ablest and best the city has
had in its history. 1t is this fact
that has brought words of COM
mendation and praise that have not
been confined to his own party, the
public generally recognizing in him
an executive who has been in every
way worthy of the honor and OF the
confidence placed in him two years
ago. Quite contrast is such a man
with his leading opponent and imme-
date predecessor, whose chief claim
to the Office out of which the people
turned him two years ago, is tore
place the present appointees by those
who were there under the former re-
gime. The argument is one that will
not carry weight.
The present city clerk, A. d. Hues-
ing, will be presented for reelection

THE FINAL SESSION.
The Knox County Candidate Wins the
HOnOrs.

The Knox County Candidate Wins the
HonOrs.
GALvA, Feb. 2S.-At the opening
of the convention this morning there
was a general feeling that something
was going to happen. There seemed
to be more of disposition to yield
on the part of all counties except
Rock Island and Whiteside, who APP
peared determined to die by their
arms and stick it out for their men
until the end. The following poetic
injunction was received from j. w.
War;, of Moline:
Sages On the field Of Galva,
Do cur farther suferings spare,
Valiant patriots, do, for Gods sale,
Try and fl l that vacant chsir.
1t took effect, as we shall see.
The counties except Rock Island
complimented each other, and at one
time Mckinney might have been nom-
mated if Knox had not weakened.
There was now suspension of hostili-
ties and combinations were formed
that appeared on the surface favorable
to Gest. But it broke down, Gest be-
ing able to command only seven votes
from Henry. Mercer offered her
votes to Rock Island if the rest could
be had. Failing in this, she went to
Knox, when Henry, which had given
seven each to Prince, Gest and RAM
say changed her vote and went solid
to Prince. The house was wild.
Rock Island and Whiteside stayed
with their candidates, but Stark
went to Prince.
The Decisive Ballot.
This all happened in the 1.47Sth
ballot, the decisive one, the result
being:

moved that the nomination be made
unanimous, and Brookfield, of White
side, seconded the motion. 1t went
with a shout. All the candidates
were called to the platform and
pledged the support of their counties
to the nominee.
