sILrERIrEs ISSUE MANIFESTO
Platform of the sound Money Convention
Denounced as Netarious.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 26.--The following
address to the public issued by the Cen
trail Bimetallic league OF Memphis, explains
itself:
To the People Of the United States-The
arch enemies of the agricultural and produc-
ing classes of our country, moved by greed
and encouraged by avarice, have conspired
to transfer the essentially governmental
function OF issuing and controlling the
money volume of the nation to a system of
banking corporations, full of the vice of
class legislation and void OF any virtue
which commends It to the consideration of a
patriotic citizen. Undaunted by the failure
to secure the sanction of the American
congress, the promoters of this nefarous
scheme have boldly taken the initiatory
step to attain the object of their conspir
acy. Backed by the great power of ex
haustess wealth and the influence of high
official position, they have publicly con-
vened in this city of Memphis and openly
declared their purpose. They demand that
the constitutional and inherently sovereign
right to issue money be delivered into their
hands.
They hope that the people will ignorantly
confound the sovereign prerogative and
the bounden duty of the government to
coin money and establish system of uni
lOTln weights anu measures WIN Ine DuSl-
ness of loans and discounts inherently ap-
proprate to the occupation of the private
citizen.
That the people may come together and
take counsel of each other 1t has been
deemed expedent to call together con-
vention to assemble at Memphis on the 18th
and 18th of June, 1895. Every community,
every city and town and every state in the
union are earnestly requested and cordially
invited to send delegates to that conven-
ton. Every vicinity is urged to organize
bmetallic clubs and every club should be
represented. 1t is proposed that this con-
vention shall voice the sentiments of the
people. The country needs their best
thought. their most careful deliberations
and energetic action. The object of this
convention is to formulate some definite
plan of future action to facilitate direction
to the overwhelming volume of public SEN
timent favoring a return to our own, and
establishing our independence of alien finan-
cial institutions; to devise means for such
a campaign of education that hereafter it
will be impossible to elect only such men
to the legislative and executive offices of
the nation as are unawed by power and un-
bought by spoils.

President Central Metallic League of Shelby
County.

Steamboat Springs, Colo, says: Excitement
over the sheep trouble continues unabated.
]. G. Edward, the representative of the

tected if the entire militia has to be called

determined. At present the sheep are held
in California park, the source of Fertilization

the cattle men whether the sheep shall be re-
moved into Wyoming now or wait until their
movement decides that the sheep men will

LITTLE MORE LIBERAL WITH WIDOWS
Assistant Secretary Reynolds Makes Il Rul-
ing Pension Claims.

WASHINGTON, May 26-Assistant Secre-
tary Reynolds has decided that in the alb
sence of conclusive evidence, showing the
dependent or nondependent condition of a
mother at the date Of her soldier sons
death, her claim cannot be rejected solely
upon the grounds that the soldier did not
contribute to her maintenance. Secretary
Reynolds also holds that the legal repre-
sentatives of a deceased claimant for bounty
land warrant may prosecute for the benefit
of the claimants heirs his claim for such
warrant pending an appeal at the time OF
his death; that the act of February II ,
1S47, applies only to soldiers who were liv-
ing at the date of it's passage and were in
the enlisted service, those who thereafter
enlisted and the family or relatives of such
only; that the act of March 3, 1855, applies
to those soldiers living at the date Of its
passage and to widows or children of those
who had died prior thereto; and that a GER
tifcate or warrant issued jointly to several
co-warrantees may not be recalled or can
celled after the death of any of them.

BLACKBURN REPLIES TO CARLIsLE
Confident of Winning In the Election In
Spite Of tho Admin Isl ration.

LAWRENCEBURG, KY, May Ex-senator
]. S. c. Blackburn, replying to Secretary Car
Isle in his speech here yesterday, declared
that the administration was not satisfied to
let Mr.. McCreary, Mr.. Buckner. Mr.. Brown
and himself fight this battle on its merits,
but they imported a man who is greater than
John the Baptist to drive back this silver
craze as they call it."
Continuing, he said: Nov, understand
that what l am going to say about Mr.. Car
Isle will be said in the kndest terms posi-
ble,' and he went on to prove Carlisle's in
consistency, in view Of the secretarys record
in congress The speaker then said: Nov
know you will say that showing his incon-
know that, and | am now going to answer
his argument every point of it. l thought
when the mighty Carlisle appeared they were
going to throw new light on this subject but
they did not. He did not advance a single
new idea. First, he makes the assertion that
II you have a free coinage of silver you will
put the country on silver basis and would
drive all the gold out of the country. This
is not true. We have tried II once, and when
we quit we had three dollars TO one dollar in
gold more than when we began, He says
this country would be the dumping ground
for all silver bullion. He is off there, for
ours is the only nation under the sun which
has silver bullion" -
The speaker went on to answer every point
of the Carlisle speech-to -his bwn satisfaction.
Mr.. Blackburn then attacked the administra-
tion, saying: 81 am greatly handicapped,
but let Mr.. Cleveland, Carlisle and all the
rest take the stump, ana ] Will still win this
race in spite of the whole combination"

YOLCANIC DIsTURBANCEs IN MISSOURI
Fissures Opened In the Ground from Which
Smoke POurs Out.

OZARK Mo-. May 26.-Relable informa-
tion from the neghborhood of Foardland, in
the southwestern part of Webster county,
tells Of a remarkable phenomenon in that
locality, resembling a volcanic disturbance.
A short time ago the family of w. C. Sitz
was startled by a strange sound which
seemed to be accompanied by trembling of
the earth Going into his meadow, where the
noise appeared to come from, the farmer
found a huge, smoking hole where a few
minutes before the surface Of the field had
been unbroken, and around this sink the
ground was split and torn up for a con-
siderable distance. The earth had sunk
about twenty feet and the area
Of the surface depressed was fully a
quarter of an acre Looking around over the
meadow, Mr. Sitz found further evidence of
the singular disturbance. Large rocks that
had been thrown out of the ground when the
convulsions occurred were buried in the
meadow several hundred feet from the hole.
These ponderous masses OF stone must have
been hurled to a great height in order to
strike the earth with the force indicated by
their new position.

Special Report from Nearly Every CountJ
in Nebraska.
GOOD PROSPECTS FOR A ElG HAkV. ST
Largely Increased Area Planted to Corn aud
Smaller Grain.
RECENT FR0STS DID LITTLE DAMAGE
Many Counties Need Rain but There is No
Drouth.
CENT FRoSTS DID LITTLE DAMAGE
FARM WORK FAR AHEAD OF The S-fS0N
Carefully Gathered Data Showing the COM
dition OF tho Great Staple Crops OF
Nebraska-Farmcrs Encouraged
over tho Outlook.

The Bee herewith presents reports of the
present seasons crop conditions from its
own correspondents in nearly every county
of Nebraska, every section being fully cov-
cred. The reports have been received by
mail within the past three days and since
they were mailed many counties have been
visited by heavy rains. This fact should ba
borne in mind in the consideration of the
entire report. While probably every county
needs rain, many of them badly, a perusal
of the bulletins will show that Nebraska
may fairly look forward to harvest far in
advance of last years and nearly IL not quite
up to the average Corn the great staple
product of the state, gives promise of nearly
a full crop. The condition of small grain
is not so favorable Winter wheat will prove
a disappointment, while spring wheat will
not show up with anything like an average
crop. Oats are better than wheat, but even
under the most favorable conditions will
not yield a full crop. The potato crop gives
promise Of being large one. There has been
largely increased area sown to alfalfa
and favorable reports of it's condition seem
to be general.
The recent frosts have resulted in no serl-
Gus damage to field crops The only
favorable effects of the frost are noted in the
orchards and gardens. The greatest injury
to corn and small grain has resulted from
the continued dry and cold weather, but the
return Of normal temperature will easily en-
able the retarded growth of all crops to
reach its normal condition.
Farm work Of all kinds seems to be from
two to three weeks in advance of the season.
No especial effort has been made to gather
reports from irrigated sections for the rea-
son that water has been abundant in all
bitches this spring and therefore the irri-
gated crops are fully up TO the average as
a matter Of course.

MoREAU CARROLL A DEF4ULrER
Prominent Iowa City Man Disappears and
Trust Funds GO with Him.

IOWA CITY, Ia, May 26.-(Special Tele-
gram)-one Of the most prominent business
men OF this city, Moreau Carroll, is now
definitely known to be an absconder and de-
faulter to the extent Of several thousand dol
lars of trust funds. He was man Of ex-
emplary personal habits, so far as known,
prominent in the democratic party, treas
urer OF the County Fair association, partner
In >an old business firm and had been audi
tor OF Cedar county, Iowa. In state con-
Ventions he took an active part, and al
though his party was in the minority he
has several times shown his great popularity
in the vote given him. In church and all
social movements he was a leader. Among
the old soldiers he is well known. Formerly
he was bank cashier here.
About ten days ago Carroll informed his
family and partner that he had to go to
Upton in Cedar county on business and
would return in a few days. The week
passed and he did not return. The family
made inquiries and ascertained that he had
not been in Upton, but that he had gone
to Rock Island and had been seen there
and observed on account of his nervous
conduct.
All trace then disappeared. Meantime
the banks here had been investigating and
the attorneys for an estate in Cedar county
arrived on the scene looking for Carroll
and some $4,000 the latter held as trustee
for an estate In that county, where his
standing was the highest. 1t was found
that Carroll had the securities belonging
to the estate pledged for loans in a bank
here, and that just before his departure he
called at the bank and requested to look
at his notes and the collaterals When he
returned the papers he distracted the secur-
tiles without detection, so that the bank
holds his naked notes Carroll's homestead,
worth 1000, has been levied upon by the
bank on the ground that the house was
purchased with the money raised on the
colaterals. Other evidences of rascality
have been unearthed.
The city has not had such a sensation
for years, but deep sympathy is felt for
Carrol's excellent family.

Delegates Gathering for the Convention
Which Meets Today.
GAINESVILLE, o., May 26.1Of the repub-
lican state convention which meets Tuesday
and Wednesday, the candidates and their
workers, ex-Secretary Foster was among the
rustlers today. Senator Sherman will be here
tomorrow. There are a dozen candidates for
governor, the favorites being General A. s.
Buchnell, Judge Nash and James H. Hoyt.
The delegations from Cincinnati had badges
for Buchnel for governor, the ones from
Cleveland had Hoyt for governor. All were
alike in hosting Mckinley s. banner for pres
ident and Foraker's for senator5SThe Toledo
delegation had their cars DECORATED with the
inscription Mckinley for president, Foraker
for senator and Guy Major for governor
Today factional feeling was intensified
among the advance guard here by hearing
that McKinley's name had been torn from the
banners on the special cars at Toledo on the
order of Mayor Guy Major. The friends of
Major here say that Governor Mckinley IS
friends got up a delegation to contest the
seats of the Major delegation and that Nc
Kinley's name was torn down because of that
action. They announce that they will begin
the fight at this convention against Mckinley
by opposing a resolution endorsing the gov
ernor for president and starting a movement
to get ant-McKinley delegates 1t is not
probs BILE that there will be material opposition
to a resolution endorsing Mckinley for pres
ident, but 1t is already apparent that fac
tional feeling VIII be strongly developed in
the convention. The Foraker men are con-
Centrating on General Buchnell for governor
and the Mckinley men are on Judge Nash If
there should be any formidable opposition to
endorse Mckinley for president there would
then also be opposition to the endorsement
Of Foraker for senator, and the old factional
feeling in the party in this state would break
loose in all its fury. The leaders in both
factions are exercising all possible discipline
to prevent any outbreak, but it is not improb-
able that the contest will get beyond con-

Claimed to BE Entitled to Their Benefits.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Representative
Hermann of Oregon has raised a very i'm
portant question before the Interior depart
ment in relation to Indian schools on reser-
vations, where allotments in severalty have
occurred. He has presented the right Of
the state to extend its common school sys-
TEN over the Indians, and with the right to
establish school districts in the reserve and
for the Indians the right to choose teachers
according to the school law and to be under
the law for taxation purposes, except as to
the lands held by allotment only. The In
dian bureau is inclined to take this view
and further to hold that 1t may aid such
schools from the fund out of which 1t al
ready contributes to some district schools
certain sums for each Indian taught in
them. Mr., Hermann has formally presented
the matter to the secretary and 1t will likely
soon be submitted to the attorney general,
as the department says 1t is the first time
the question has come in his shape before.
Indians on allotments being now citizens
assert their right to enjoy a common school
education,
