Pass, Oregon.
AN OLD MANS JEALOUSY
Begged His Wife to Return to Him and
Quarreled With Her on the
Way Home.

Grants Pass, Or, May 19.-Charies
Fleister. aged 6S. living near here, is in
Jail charged with an atrocious murder.
He and his wife had been separated for
some time and yesterday he went to her
home and asked her to live with him
again. He wanted to be put on proba-
ton and asked that she try week in
his company Mrs. Fleister agreed to
the proposition, and the united couple,
with three children, started to walk to
Fleister's logging camp, three miles dis
tant. On the way the couple quarreled.
1t is said he accused her of having writ
ten letters to another man. This his
wife denied and Fleister finally became
so enraged that he knocked her down
and dragged her into puddle of water
by the road. The water was about three
feet deep, and he held the head of the
unfortunate woman underneath until
she drowned.
The three children, who were fright
ened and Mortified spectators of the
murder of their mother, were then told
by their father to go to the house of an
older brother living at Merlin, and in
form him of what had occurred. When
the brother reached the fatal spot the
old man was sitting on the edge Of the
pool. He claimed to have attempted to
commit suicide, but was unable to ac-
complish his purpose.
The elder Fleister came to Grants
Pass and surrendered to the authorities,
saying he was guilty of murder and
wanted to die.

General Warner went on:

dark and the future dreary, hoped
for life that / might see the end. Now
it is my greatest desire to live and to
see whether the country is to be saved
or not"
That was General Warmers summing
up Of practical politics" of the battle
that is now on. 1t was brief resume
following an argument that was logical,
convincing and complete.
On the stage during the evening were
$50 prominent citizens, officers Of the
city, county, state and nation. Senator
John L. Wilson and Congressman Hyde
were in the first row. Behind them to
the right and left sat the others. Mayor
Belt presided and introduced the speak
ers.
Fifteen enthusiastic citizens of Rear
dan were in that gathering. They had
driven all the way with a siX-horse
team. They drove down Riverside av-
enue during the afternoon with an
American flag of huge proportions to
designate their race. The party carried
a banner on which were emblazened the
words: ."Reardan for free coinage of
silver at 16 to 1. without international
| agreement"
1t is unnecessary to add that the ban
ners were cheered as they moved down
the avenue or to add that the visitors
were cordially welcomed to the eXer-
! cises of the evening.
There was a little surprise in store at
the close. Congressman Hyde arose
after General Warner concluded and in
a short speech presented each guest
a watch chain of II links. Sixteen OF
them were of silver and one was of gold
Mr.. Sibley accepted the tokens in a
witty postlude to the silver symposium
while General Warner smilingly bowed
his thanks as the audience dispersed.

speaker added, but you'll find if you

Turning over the pages of history rap

it will be so great that it can only be
settled in one of two ways-repudiation
or revolution"
Then with an eulogy for General War

sat down amid deafening applause.

DAMNABLE. DAsrARDLY CONSPIRACY
Mr. Sibley's characterization OF the Act
of 1873 Applauded.

MIR. Siblcy's Characterization OF the Act
of 1873 Applauded.
Mr.. Sibley went into his subject Wig
orously from the start, after his intro
duction to the audience by Mayor Belt.
Two years of gold monometallism had
proved a magnificent object lesson to
the people, ne said. 1t had been punct-
uated by 5000 suicides each year since
it started, and it had given rise to a new
subject of discussion in the literary an
nails of the day. the theme, us Suicide
a Sin?" He held that such evils as
had resulted in the wonderful increase
in the suicide list were the direct out
come of the vicious financial system"
conceived in 1873 and consummated in
1S93-if not consummated then soon to
be consummated by the issue of at least
$500, 900 of bonds, or more. That, he
said, was the presidents conception of
Sound money" as against bimetallism.
People should never have concluded
that because England prospered under
that system all other nations would.
Eminent economists had foreseen that
when the supply of gold ran short
strikes and lockOuts and bankruptcies
would follow, but the hardest element
to combat of all was that which per-
sisted in ascribing the panic that did
come to those strikes, and lockouts to
overproduction, and from that on.
The speaker referred to the words of
John G. Carlisle uttered in 1877, "be-
fore his eyes had become dazzled by the
golden glitter of Plutos palaces" when
he foretold the destruction that would
| follow the defeat of bimetallism. Car

! damnable and darkest crime ever com
mitted in our nations history. Nong

sized in the Hamburg canal this morning
and two or three men are thought to be
drowned The accident occurred at the
Michigan street bridge, which is being re-

to carry workmen across the canal and to-
day there was a large crowd of Polish
laborers who sought conveyance TO THEN
work They clambered aboard like q
flock of sheep. The Trilby took three
loads across safely, but when she returned
for the fourth the Poles made rush for
her and, all jumping simultaneously on
one side, caused her to lurch, capsize and
go to the bottom. For several minutes
the canal was alive with the half-crazy,
terrified human beings, few Of whom
could swim, but all of whom were strug-
Cling and clutching at each other or any
thing within reach. Many climbed out
on the lock and others were seen to sink
and were not seen again The canal Is

all escaped. and it is believed that two
or three Poles are missing.

ST. LOUIS INITIAL TRIP.
Pioneer of the Modern Merchant
Marine Starts on Test
Voyage.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 25.-At 11:43 a.
m today the pioneer of the modern mer-
chant marine, the giant steamship st.
Louis, cast off her hawsers at Cramps
shipyard and started down the Delaware
river on her initial ocean voyage. As
the big steamer pointed her nose down the
stream she was greeted by whistles from
all kinds of craft in the river, the noise
being simply deafening. This continued
until the St. Louis had passed League ISL
and the extreme lower end of the city.
The St Louis is the largest vessel that has
ever sailed down the Delaware river.
She is in command of Capt. William O..
Randle and the crew of 400 men who
sailed away with her today will take the
big vessel on her initial voyage across the
Atlantic.
There are no invited guests on board the
steamer, the men who represent the build
era and the American Line Steamship com>
pany being on board for business only,
THE st. Louis will anchor tonight at
Reedy island. Tomorrow morning be-
tween 2 and 4 o'clock she will weigh
anchor and run down to the Capes, where
her compasses will be adjusted, and the
trial trip will be on. 1t is expected that
she will remain at sea from four to five
days and then 90 to New York. The con-
tract of the st. Louis calls for speed
of twenty knots an hour. but it is thought
she will easily surpass this speed.

this district have practically given up the
strike for 50 cents per ton and will go

morning when Col. Rend, the Chicago
operator, appeared in town with fifty men
to 90 to work in the mines the officials of
the union recognized that the fight was
lost. Col. Rend had held Il conference
with his men and gave them until We1nes-,
day to go back to work at 60 cents They
did not return and today he brought in
fifty nonunion men from the East. He
says he will bring more if his old miners
do not come back soon.
The strike will not be declared off, but
will be allowed to die natural death and
the strikers will try to get their old places.
