con srEEp rHE DAY.

About . o'clock yesterday after
o o the INDEPENDENT received a
dispatch from Reno stating hat the
jury In the Durant ease had brought
in "a verdict Of guilty, after being out
but twenty minutes. The news
spread like wildfire and gave general
satisfaction to the people. All
that justice had been done to the
State, the defendant and the memory
OF Blanche Lamont.
All honor to the jury for setting
aside all bubbles and tearing the
mask, from the lecherous villain that
choked the life out ola pure. innocent
girl. All honor to them for putting
him on the high road to the gallows.
District Attorney Barnes deserves
the highest praise for forg
links in the chain Of evidence so
strong that the ingenuity o. the de.
PENDANTS attorneys could not break
them. The much abused police force
of San Francisco also deserves praise
for hunting up the evidence that the
prosecution wove into n hangman's
moose.
Moro c%owardly, brutal murders
than those OF Blanche Lamont and
Minnie Williams in Emanuel Church
never sullied the fair name Of IN
State. They called for the swift
punishment OF the murderer. The
trial court has done its duty and il
the Supreme Court OF California will
brush aside all t~echnicallities and
uphold the verdict OF the jury, the
lifeless body of William Henry
Thedeore Durrant will soon dangle
from the end Of the hangman's rope.
When that scene in the drama is
over, virtuous girls, just budding
INTO womanhood, will be more secure
in the streets Of our great cities
Then will the sanctimonous hypocrite,
who smiles on virtue only to seduce
it, be taught that the avenging arm
OF the law will bear him to the
scaffold il he takes the life OF his
victim in attempting to rob her OF
her virtue. God speed the day.

Mysterious NInke-Up.

The Virginia Chronicle OF Wednes
day evening says: The town was
convulsed with excitement at about
l o'clock this afternoon by the arrest
in n room at the Molinelli House Of Il
mysterious stranger who was dis
guised in the most elaborate fashion.
The maj WAS arrested OIL suspicion,
and his makeup, which was startling
to behold, caused his arrest. He
wore Il curly dark brown wig. which
covered his head and concealed his
light hair completely, and the lower
part of his face was hidden by Il pirat-
ical brown beard. His heavy nous
tache and his face were blackened
with cork. and TO the most careless
observer was evidently -made.up- in
iLe most artificial manner.
His suspicious actions in scanning
the California Bank building aud
peeping i'll at the windows caused his
arrest. He was brought to Jail and
searched and a very strange outfit
was found on him.
His false wig and beard were first
removed, and then his pockets were
emptied. When his disguise had been
taken off lie was greatly changed in
appearance. In his pockets were
nine iron types or stamps, each with
n numeral cut on the end, such as are
used to stamp bullion. There was
also a small bar of bullion, a Ratchet
without a handle. a box of material
like shoe backing, three or four bot
ties containing liquids, papers peck
ct book, mirror, a candle and several
other small articles.
The man gave his name as Melon
ala, said he was 4 Portuguese, though
he spoke good English. and refused to
explain his business, further than To
say that he vas watching for a woman
He declined 10 talk about himself.
but the outfit found on him leads
some people to think he is a bullion
thief and used the stamps to mark
bullion before selling it.
From the Enterprise of this morn
ing it is learned that one John Rosa
of Silver City was an accomplice of
Mcdonald, and during the day had
Il bar OF bullion to the Bank Of
for Sl.0SS.OS. receiving the
customary advance OF 81 900 thereon.
it was discovered that the bar
was n bogus one, and that the stamp
thereon, IS. l.. Bowling. Assayer, No
1855 was a forgery.
Deputy Sheriff Burke, accompa-
MED by Mr.. Bowling, started for Sill.

in, which is near the Ophir mill. Rosa
was found i'll his cabin eating his
meal and was placed under
He didn't seem To be much
perturbed, but was anxious TO know
why he was arrested. Mr.. Bowling,
who has been long acquainted with
explained the situation. and
Rosa went to a crevicc in the stone
wall Of the Ophif mill and produced
n tin ran which was found to contain
the $1,000 in coin he had received
from the bank in the forenoon. Rosa
was brought TO town and lodged in
Jail.
1t is almost certain that the iron
types fonnd on Mcdonald were used
to stamp the bogus bar Of bullion.

INGERsoLL,s HOBBY.

Now, have got hobby. / do not
suppose any of you have heard of it. !
think the greatest thing for country
is for all of it's citizens to have home.
| think it is around the freside Of a
home that the virtues grow, including
patriotism. We want homes. Until a
few years ago it was the custom to put
men in prison for debt The author
tiles threw man into jail when he
owed something which he conld not
pay, and by throwing him into Jail they
deprived him of an opportunity to earn
what would pay it. After little time
they got sense enough TO know that
way and that it was better to give him
something if he could. Therefore the
system of failing was done away
with AT another time, when man
owed anything, if he were carpenter
a blacksmith or shoemaker and not
able to pay it, they took his tools, on a
writ of sale and execution, and thus
incapacitated him SO he could do moth
ing. Finally they got sense enough to
abolish that law, to leave the mechanic
his tools and the farmer his plows,
horses and wagons, and after this debts
were paid better than they ever were
before.
Then we took to the emancipation of
home builders, and we said, I'VE will
have homestead exemption. We will
put roof over wife and child, which
shall be exempt from execution and
sale, and SO we preserved hundreds of
thousands and millions of homes, while
debts were paid just as much as ever
before. Now, / want to take step
further. | want the rich people of this
country to support it. | want the peo-
pie who are well off to pay the taxes.
| want the law to exempt a homestead
OF a certain value, say from $4,000 to
$4,000, and to exempt it,not only from
sale on judgment and execution,
bnt to exempt ii from taxes of all sorts
ana kinds. ] want to keep the roof
over the heads of others when the man
himself is gone | want that home
stead to belong not only to the man.
but to the wife and children. | would
like to live to see roof over the heads
of all the families of the republic.
tell you it does a man good to have a
home. You are in partnership with
nature when you plant hill of beans.
Wheh you set out tree you have new
interest in this world. When you own
a little tract of land you feel like you
and Jehovah We're partners. All these
things dignity human nature.

It was quiet campaign and great
victory in Iowa. There was little
apparent enthusiasm in the entire
state. and many feared that it would be
detrimental to the Republican cause,
but the organization was so perfect
that defeat was almost impossible
The Republican party has accomplished
one good thing-it has won ii victory
without catering to the prohibition
cran1s. If it is wise it will keep out Of
the clutches Of men who are never
satisfied. Legislate on prohibition for
the best interests of the state and it's
people. There is no danger of the
Republican party being defeated in the
state or nation If It will only be frank,
manly and JUST. There should be no
rest taken until after the election of
1896.

ments to baptize some children There
was large crowd and a Southern ma
tron brought her fnHr eh- -ldren to the
altar.

preacher, laying his hand on the child's
head.
Simon Bolivar Buckner," was the
reply, which caused smile to come
over the congregation; but the brave
preacher went on with his duty.
Name this child" taking the next
in order.
Pierre Gustav Toutant Beauregard. !
and the smile grew into a snicker,
while DR.. Savage became red in the face.
He baptized the young namesake OF
the engineer soldier and went on with
the ceremony.
Name this child" he gasped. reach
ing for the child.
ALBERT Sydney Johnson" came the
answer.
The smile grew audible. Heaving
sigh of relief he took the fourth, little
girl, whose gender he fondly supposed
would preclude continuation of heroic
reproductions, and said:
Name this child"
Mary Stonewall Jackson Lee, came
the response that set the congregations
into roar, while the union parson
thought he had held in his arms the
whole Southern confederacy.
