We advanced in two rows to the OPP

the two confederates stepped leisurely
to the table and scooped the gold into
couple of little sacks which they pro-
duced from their pockets.
Having secured the money on the ta-
bic, the brigands proceeded to rob our
persons. With a great show of politeness
they requested us to give up our watches.
money and weapons. The fellow tossed
my revolver and my few silver dollars
into his sack and grabbed at my watch.
Just then there was crashing, ex-
plosive sound, deafening in the narrow
confines of the room-then another-an-
other-and another. Then came dark
ness. a quick rush of feet, tumult Of
shouts and groans.
It was the deacon, of course. I knew
it before the welcomed hurried arrival
of men from outside, with lanterns. He
had turned loose' at the leader. They
had exchanged three or four shots before
the light went out, quickly and mystic
riously.
Tho men with the sacks and the mon
ey were gone, but the deacon was bend

the floor.
The fellow tried to lift himself upon
his elbow.

HE WAS FOND OF OYSTERS.
And Having the Chance Bargained For
Full Square Meal of Them.

And Having the Chance Bargained For =
Full Square Meal of Them.
There was a man who lived in the far
west. He had never eaten any oysters
except canned ones, and after eating
those he said;
Il would much rather eat the cans.
They taste just the same and are cheap
en-"
He was q western business man, but
enc night his chief competitor held up
a straight flush. So the man became
bankrupt and went to live with his un-
clio in Baltimore. The first night he was
there his uncle gave him "a dozen
raws." Tho man took up the first one
on his fork and tasted it gingerly. Then
look Of perfect bliss came over his
face. At that moment he half believed
himself i'll heaven. But his eye fell up
on his uncle and he knew that that
could not be-for he knew his uncle
very we'll.
From that day the man lived for
nothing but oysters. He threw away the
little cabinet where be formerly kept
his whisky and put an icebox in its
place. He would wake up in the night
murmuring, SADDLE rocks,'' and when
he admired woman very much, he
would call her ga perfect blue point. I"
But he never could get as many oysters
as he wanted. There was always some
thing which interfered with his eating
his fill. So one day he slipped away
from his friends and went down to an
oyster boat. He hailed the captain and
asked:
"How much will you charge for as
many oysters as can eat?''
The captain looked at him, and saw
that he was not large man, and that
outwardly he bore no resemblance to a
cold storage warehouse.
"Cae dollar and half, he said
The man gave the captain the money,
and sat down at table. Then the cap
tain opened oysters for him. All the
morning the captain opened oysters,
and great crowd of people gathered
about to watch the man eat and to bet
on the result Atnoonr the captain faint
ed from overexertion, and the first mate
took his place. AS the dusk of early
evening was creeping over the water
the man arose from his seat, and with
the help of admiring bystanders stag
gered across the heaps of shells and van
ished in the crowd, which opened for
him to pass.
Then the captain opened his eyes and
gazed wildly about the deck. He rose,
and leaning weakly against chair back
surveyed the scattered remnants of his
stock i'll trade.
IT am ruined, ruined, ruined!'' he
said hoarsely.
"You have dollar and half on
which to begin life again." said the
first mate. ''My wages for today amount
to one dollar and half. Begin life
honestly by paying your debts. -
The man from the far west died that
evening, but he died happy. His last
words were:
Perhaps = in heaven-I-shall-
sleep-on an oyster bed. Chicago

Its edges curved around the hills that rise
Outlined against the west. Far off and free

With rush and rumble winds across the plain,
Invisible, beneath the airy veil, to me,

a man named Phair was attacked by a

the shooting Of moose was prohibited by

Prayer Against Silver,

Louisville, Ky, June 6. The
Republican State convention ad-
iourned tonight. The feature Of
the session today was the remark
able anti-frec silver prayer by
Rabbi Adolph Moses of the Temple
Adas Israel. Moses prayed as
follows:
The eyes of the whole nation
are i'll this hour turned with anx-
ious expectation upon this assem-
bly,. for the fatal delusion has
takien possession Of members of the
American people. National dis
honesty is by many held to be a
national wisdom. Debasement Of
the coin of the land, it is believed.
will insure our countrys prosperl-
ty. Dense Ignorance. reckless,
se!fshness. overvaunting greed
have perverted the Judgment of
hundreds of thousands in the land.
False prophets have arisen. corrupt
ors Of the peoples heart and mind.
They call evil good. Breach of
faith with individuals and nations
they commend as highest public
virtue. They laugh to scorn the
worlds experience. The wisdom
Of the wise is folly i'll their eyes.
20. Lord. dire disaster is threat
ening the American people. Ma

ruin, the misery and degradation
Of those who work for hire are
lying in ambush. We beseech,
Thee. protect the American people
from the errors and wile;; OF those
who would lure it from the path Of
honesty and safety.
MAY the delegates here assem-
bled speak out iii no uncertain tones
for national honesty. May they
declare in clarion notes that there
shall be no false weights and false
measures, no fraud and no breach
of faith in the land Of ashington
and Lincoln. May they give assur-
ance to the whole country that 4

THE League of Republican Clubs,
which held a convention at Clcve-
land last week. did wise thing
not to commit the Republican par
ty on the financial question so far
in advance Of the national conyen-
ton 1t is well understood that the
party favors sound-money policy
and will boldly declare for such
when the time for doing SO arrives.
Any other course, at this time,
would have tended to disturb the

not have been productive of good

THE free silver cause received
its s<first black eye in Kentucky the
other day. Kentucky holds an
election for State officers this fall,
and, the free silver men made an
aggressive fight to get control of
the Democratic nominating conven-
ton, and, although the silver men
had their best campaign orators in
the field, majority of the dele
gates elected at the primaries last
week are for sound money. The
Democrats are consequently badly
split up in Kentucky, and the elcc-
ton Of the Republican ticket is
generally conceded.
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1895-06-26

Missouri Democrats seem bound
to have their free silver conyen-
ton whether Chairman Mat..t likes
it or not. The latest move is to
get majority of chairnlen Of the
county committees to declare in
favor Of a convention and thus
force Mr.. Mafitt to acquiesce. As
hearty all the leaders Of the party
are opposed to committing it in
favor Of free coinage. a beautiful
prospect for family row is loom
