olden times. perhaps. Remind me of it,

! shall pass over my preparations for
departure. my sad and fearful parting
from my sweetheart. my last interview
with Mr.. Forsythe, and, in fact, my
voyage to Bonita. since nothing oc-
CURED therein to bear upon my story.
AS the steamer puffed up to the little
quay I got my first look at the rocky
point of land whereon the mines of
Bonita were located.
There was one little clump Of cocoa
palms about half mile inland. and a
few scattered shrubs here and there;
but for the most part the promontory
was one mass of gray rock, broken
and shelvy, and wearing an intensely
dismal aspect. Toward the mainland
there lowered a row of bare cliffs
reaching high into the air, and SEEM

rest OF the world.

was a large enclosure. the walls formed
mostly from the prevalent gray rocks.
and encircling huddle Of unpainted
wooden buildings somewhat discolOred
by the weather.
Such was my first view of Bonita and
you can guess that 1t conveyed no
very pleasurable sensation when / re-
flected that here was to be my home
for some time.
A few lightly clad natives and per-
haps a dozen rough-looking white men
stood curiously awaiting our landing
and watching the decentralization OF
the stores the steamer had brought.
I was the only passenger for this port.

glancing now and then carelessly at
the busy scene about the landing place.
I walked toward him. regarding him
attentively as ! approached.
He was large, heavily built man.

Harrison and the New Woman.

From the Kansas City Times.
President Harrison may not be out
of politics yet, but he will be before
long if a statement attributed to him
receives his sanction. 1t is said that
speaking of bicycles during a recent
hunting excursion, he remarked that
it twas ungraceful in women to ride
bicycles" and that "the time of late
when he most wished he had his gun
was when he saw a woman riding a
bicycle and chewing gum"
Now, no man deserves to be elected
President of this progressive country
once, mot to speak of twice, who would
make as ungracious a remark as that
regarding woman riding bicycles. 1t
may be possible that he will set up in
extenuation of his crime, because it
is nothing less, that he referred par
ticularly to chewing gum. But that
won't do. Women don't chew gum.
Girls may do that, but women never.
But why should General Harrison
want a gun when he sees a woman
riding a "bicycle and chewing gum?"
Does such a spectacle move his heart
to thoughts of murder? If so, he is
unfit to bepresident. Even if a woman
should so far forget her obligations to
her sex as to chew gum, there should
be some other punishment imposed
than shooting her down. The new
woman will have to suppress Harri-
son. He is q dangerous man.

STILLWELL MURDER CASE.
Grand Jury Adjourned Without Find
ing a True Bill-Dr. Hearne's
Libel Suit.

HANNIBAL, Mo-, July s.-Contrary
to expectation, the Grand Jury adj
journed to-day without returning a
true bill in the Stillwell murder case.
During the forenoon Elijah Hawkins,
foreman of the jury, requested Circuit
Judge Roy not to adjourn court per-
manently, which action would disband
the Grand Jury, but to adjourn until
August II, which was done. The the
DRY is that they want further time to
secure testimony in the noted case.
The taking of dispositions in the case
of Hearne against DeYoung of the
San Francisco Chronicle, an action
based on a charge of libel, for which
100000 is asked by plaintiff for de-
famation of character, will begin in
this city Wednesday morning. DIR.
Hearne is still in the city and will re-
main until the conclusion of this work.
A. l.. Clarke, of Chicago, DeYoung's
correspondent in that city, is here and
will remain while the dispositions are
being taken. Hon. George Mahan of
Hannibal is the attorney for the de-

COUNTY JUDGES IN CONTEMPT,
The Missouri Supreme Court Acts
Sharply Against Montgomery
Officials.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July Dbl
vision No. 1 of the Supreme Court
ordered a writ of attachment for con-
tempt to-day against I. A. Elkins, Fred
Lichte and II. j. Porter, judges of the
County Court of Montgomery county,
and they will be allowed just ten days
in which to square themselves for
overruling a Judgment of the Supreme
Court and paying no attention to its
writs.
The trouble is over the location of
the county seat of Montgomery county.
A vote vas taken on a removal prop
osition at the last general election, the
competing towns being Danville, the
seat since 1884, and Montgomery
City. Although in the opinion of the
Supreme Court the requisite number
of votes were not cast in favor of re-
moval, yet the County Court moved
the records and has since held a term
of court at Montgomery City.

NO GOLD BUGS WANTED.
Only Those Who Favor Free Coinage
are Expected to be at the Meet
ing July 10.

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
THOMPSON, Mo-, July S.-lf you will
have the kindness to allow me the
room in your paper would be glad to
try and correct some wrong impress
sions that have got into the minds OF
some persons about a mass meeting
that has been called in Mexico, Mo-,
on the 10Th of July, 1895. OF all men
in the Ninth Congressional District,or
elsewhere, who favor the free coinage
of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to
/, we members of the F. & l.. L. are
not partisans and cannot deal with
any partisan measures, and knowing
the money question to be nonpartisan
from the fact that all the old parties
are at war within themselves and have
no settled policy on this question, and
believing that there is large majority
of the voters of the United States that
favor the tree coinage of silver, and
also that no class of men knows this
to be the case better than the single
standard gold men, their only hope of
success in forcing the single standard
OH the people is to keep them just as
they are to-day divided into factions
and thus neutralize their strength
and defeat them in detail. The F. &
l.. L. knowing all this, and not favor
ing any particular political party, but
favoring any measure that will ad-
vance the interests of a majority OF
the citizens and give them an oppor-
tunity to publicly express on this, OF
any other national question that af-
fects their interests, whetherthe party
bosses are willing to it or not. You
all can see by the call that no particu-
lar party is especially asked to be
there, but if you are a r silver coin
age man, whether you be Democrat,
Republican, Populist, Prohibition or
Woman's Suffrage, or of any other
| political tribe or complexion, the call
is to you. But if you are a single
standard goldite then you are not in
Guided i'll the call. The object is to
get the free coinage men together and
have them vote together and defeat
and wipe out forever the gold alone
money idea and this a only be done
by concentrating the entire silver
vote. And the principal objecto of this
meeting, as we understand it, is to de-
wise some e by which this a be
done. The report that it is a Populist
meeting called by Irv. Sims is another
gold bug scheme to keep the people
from coming together. | with the
other members of the committee have
done all that was required of us. We
saw the great efforts of the rank and
file of the Democratic party to hold a
convention and give expression to
their views on this question thwarted
and baked by a handful of single
standard bosses and the silver Repub-
licans are in the same box and every
effort to be heard is stified and
smothered with champagne, horse
races, big suppers or something. But.
| assure you there will be nothing of
this kind to draw your attention from
the main question on the 18th at Mex
leo. l. j. SIMS.

The Mistakes of the Gold Bugs.

To the Editor OF the Ledger
MEXICO, Mo-, July 9.-In a CONVEX
sation yesterday on the street a bank
er of this city said: "Why don't you
silver men talk about the value of the
silver dollar when it was worth $3.50
in 1859 instead of its value in 1872"
and insisted on it by repeating it sew
eral times. For his benefit and all
others who are willing to be guided by
the truth / will refer him to the United
States Mint report as found on page
434 of the Coinage Laws, where it may
be seen that the silver dollar in the
year 1859 was worth just S1.05.22 in
gold and the relative market value
was l to 1919 between gold and silver.
The same banker at the same time
said the silver dollar was worth a dol
lar now, only and simply because Car
Isle had put a gold dollar behind it,
thus putting the dictates of Carlisle
ahead of the expressed will of Con-
gress and the laws of the land, which
makes the silver dollar a legal tender,
and when everybody knows that Car
Isle violates the law in attempting to
redeem the silver dollar with a gold
dollar.
The same banker was asked at the
same time that if it is true that a sill
yer dollar is good only when a golt
dollar is behind 1t, how could he keel
the vast amount of paper dollars gooC
without a gold dollar back of eacf
paper dollar, and he replied: awe
have the promise of the Government
back of it." Thus showing the golC
bugs are perfectly willing to take
fiat paper dollar, although they know
it will never be redeemed, but are no
| willing to accept a silver dollar as
dollar of final payment when the,
know it owes all its degradation to thu
infamous laws made in the interest o
the gold gambler.
The same banker declined to answe.

the amount OF $1,000, her complaint
being that i attempted to caress her,
from which she had suffered both
mentally and morally. / wish to call
the attention of the people to the fact
that the suit was dismissed on the
18th day of May for want of prosecu-
ton and that this matter has never
been compromised, as thought by
some. | further state that her com
plant as to me insulting or trying to
kiss her, in any way, is false and
manufactured for a money-making
scheme. | have her deposition and
will gladly show it to anyone wishing
to make further investigation. As to
me being drunk or crazy, as stated in
her testimony, ] leave the people to
Judge as to its veracity.
