BAPTIZED in Chains.

A MurphysborO, Illinois, dispatch
says that a novel baptism by INNER
sion in the Big Muddy attracted over
1000 people to the river bank. There
were only two candidates, but they
were in chains, and the solemn cere-
mony was held 10 the presence OF 40
armed guard in command Of the
sheriff. The two repentant sinners
seeking forgiveness were Jeffreys and
Henderson, convicted Of murder, and
unless the governor shall interfere
they will be hanged May 81. TIE
men have prOfesSed repentance and a
request to be baptized was granted by
the sheriff.
The prisoners were driven to mid
stream. There were two sets of
shackles, one on their feet and one
set claiming their hands to each otherl
Rev. Mr.. Mcbride and Rev. Mr.. Bag
well, Baptist evangelists, waded out
in the stream, while Rev. Mr.. Gordon
and his choir sang hymn on shore.
Jeffreys first stepped from the car.
rage into the stream and was baptized.
Then Jeffreys and Henderson, in
clanking chains, but with clearly
shaven faces and serene countenances,
stepped in and knelt. One preacher
took hold OF each shackled man and
in a loud voice said: upon profession
OF thy faith; my brethren, and in
obedience to the command Of my
Heavenly Father, l baptize thee, in
the name Of the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost"
Both conylcts went under and came
up together. Then, still in chains
they crawled into their carriage be-
tween the officers and were hurriedly
driven back to their quarters in Jail.
They spoke no woIds during the cere.
mony except TO the ministers.
Many expected an attempt to escape
or a rescue, but the sheriff stood on
the carriage front, surrounded by a
well armed posse, and everything
passed of quietly.

The Bond Deal.

Six hundred and sixty-six thousand,
six hundred and sixty-seven wagon
loads Of wheat. 30 bushels to the load,
allowing so feet for each team and wag-
on to save end-gates and tongues, would
make procession $500 miles long. This
vast procession of wheat at 80 cents
per bushel represents the profit made
given to the bond syndicate on the last
sale Of bonds by the United States. II
will be remembered that President
Cleveland's former law partner nego-
tiated the purchase and sale, and that
while there were many persons desir-
Gus Of buying the bonds at s1.2OM, they
were barred out, and private sale was
made at s1.O41z. The difference be-
tween what the president could have
gotten for the bonds and what he did
/ get was 16 cents on the dollar amount
Ing on the bond issue to 100000 in
round numbers. A small circle of men
made profit In day representing the
procession Of wheat above mentioned.
Last year subscriber residing in the
state Of Washington wrote us that
wheat was selling in his market at 19
cents per bushel. At this price II would
take a procession of wheat nearly en-
circling the earth east and west at this
latitude. In the procession would be
l,75s,377 persons as drivers. There
would be S,5OS.754 horses. This vast
procession enables US to grasp to a GER
tain extent the magnitude of the clear
profit made by the syndicate on the
bond sale. 1t should be borne in mind
that none Of this profit is interest. Ex-
Partner Stetson arranged the private
sale to the syndicate at s1.O41s, when
others wanted them at s1.2Oh. The
bonds are now selling at s12O1s.-Mls.

a disgraceful straddle. Coins School
of Finance" has reached an edition Of
over 100000, and recently another book
of the same kind has been issued. They
pretend to quote eminent fnanciers of
Chicago and elsewhere-as for instance,
Lyman j. Gage, Joseph Medill and
Others-as injecting objections en-
bodying their most formidable argu-
ments, and then proceed to answer

fully understands the subject. This
book has been purchased in large num-
bers by silver people and distributed
gratuitously. The banking interests
should take steps to publish reply in
equally attractive form, and put it on

ITO show the effect Of this book, a

said later he had talked with some, who
had passed it over lightly and did not
reply.
my judgment from the present out
look is that eastern conservatives Of
both parties are likely to unite, and
possibly renominate Mr.. Cleveland,
who would carry the east and south, no
doubt. The East, on his able, honest
conservatism, and the south because
they could never vote other than the
democratic ticket, thus insuring a vote
which would elect, and the west would
undoubtedly support Populist or free
Silverite, unless there is a great change.
If this is not done, feel the election
will be thrown into the house
as the result Of three tick
cts being in the field in which
case the balance Of power would be with
the free silver interest. believe vote

Mr.. Buchanan seems to think that the
eastern representatives of both parties
are likely to unite, and possibly re-
nominate Mr.. Cleveland" Recent de-
velopments 90 to show that there Is
more Of the public attention than any
jother phase of the money question, it
is not because Of its own Importance,
but on account Of its involving the
question as to who shall issue and con-
troll the currency, the banks or the gov
eminent This is the bone of conten-
ton. The banks are fighting to retain
their grip on the currency system and
the free silver question is only a STRAIT
egic point which they feel they must
combat. II we have free and unlimited
coinage of silver it effects the bankers
control of the currency that much. As
strategic point it is well for the Peo-
pies party to fortify this position, not
as sole issue, but as one to be de-
Tended whenever attacked.

The populists of Wisconsin are keep
ing right along with the procession. At
Wausau at the late municipal election
the peoples party poll was s19; last fall
22O, an increase Of nearly 300 per cent.
At Stockbridge the old parties fused,
but the peoples party whaled the hide
of the combine. The town Of Auburn
in Chippewa county elected a populist
ticket from top to bottom. Many other
towns in the state were carried wholly
or In part BY the populists. This Is the
story that comes from many states in
the union.

Some people, all old-party voters,

in part or in whole their railroad sys-

THE Pension Office states that the
number of pensioners has fallen
from 1,O1l,794 in 1894 to 9S7,S15 in
1895. The official estimate is that in
1900 the figures will be s54,4 ,461, and
FIVE years later 7O1 ALB. The esti-
mate of the pension appropriation in
1905 is SAL, 100000 less than that of
the present year, This prospective
surplus is viewed with great satisfac-
t:OD by the Administration since its
failure to save money by suspending
pensions in haste and searching for a
cause of suspension at leisure. The
Republican party will achieve a sur.
plus by another road long before the
year 1905.

 tended For His Victim.

tended For HIS victim.
 Paris, Aug. 4.-News has been received here of an attempt to murder M Vuil- emin, managing director of the coal mines at Aniche, eight miles from Douai department of Nord. A monster banquet had been prepared for the cele- bration to-day of the caption of the fiftieth year of M Vuilemin's connection with the mines.
 After mass had been celebrated this morning M. Vuilemin, surrounded by party of engineers and shareholders in the mines, was standing under the church porch, when an anarchist miner named Camille Decoux, who had been dismissed from the service of the com pany after the strike of 1893, approached and fired five shots from revolver at him. Three bullets took effect, one striking M. Vuilequin In the cheek, ,anoth- CT in the hand and onother in the back, infiicting serious, but not dangerous wounds.
 After emptying his revolver Decoux was preparing to throw bomb, when by some means the internal machine exploded prematurely, disemboweling the would-be murderer and hurling his body distance of seven feet. After the bomb exploded, Decoux's father, who was among those gathered about the entrance to the church, became greatly excited and rushed to the spot where his son lay and began to kick him, all the time screaming "Canaille, assassin" and the combined efforts of several wit nesses of the assault were necessary to restrain him. The force of the explosion threw down several bystanders, but only four persons were injured. All the windows in an inn in the vicinity were shattered. Decoux was carried to the mayorality house, but died immediately after his arrival there. The attempt upon M. Vuilemin's life created the most intense excitement throughout the district. Decoux was twenty-six years old and unmarried. He had recently been working at Waziers, a short dis tance from Aniche.
 M Vuilemin was removed to his home in a carriage immediately after his wounds had been dressed, and is now making favorable progress toward re- covery.

 Rev. Mir. Gallaher, n Temporary Pastor,
 Breaches to a Large Audience-The
 Church Filled Despite the Weather, Despite the sultriness of the evening Calvary Baptist church was filled last night with a large audience, anxious to hear Rev. Dr. H. M. Gallaher a for mer pastor of the church
 Dr. Gallaher spoke on the subject, Fire on the Seashore," the lesson being drawn from PauPs life,
 He said that Paul was the foremost rlan of the men of his time in usefulness, in courage, in cheerfulness and in help fuiness. In speaking of an incident in Pauls life, he said: The barbarians at first thought that he was criminal, and then when he did not die, they thought he was a god. Man is the only animal in the world in which kindness is generally inherent The herd of deer chases the wounded deer from their midst. Ducks do the same thing, and all animals but man are devoid of a sense of kindness. Man is always kind to his fellows, and especially to his suffering fellows. It is not just to think because man is suffering that he Is bad. We often think if man Is unfor- tunate that he is victim of punish ment from God, but this is not neces- sarily true Happiness and cheerful ness should have a great place in our lives. He, in whose breast happiness hoc ic indaoIf I1r fo,. .tt,r, "a and loses one of the great joys Of life. Paul found these three things lacking in the barbarians, and when he looked about among them for comfort and warmth, he got poison,
 The czar of Russia can hardly be cheerful when he nightly goes to sleep with the fear that his enemies may assassinate him before the morning, i and" said MT. Gallaher T would rather be a poor preacher talking in Calvary Baptist church than that czar | with his wearing load of care"
 | Various lessons were then drawn by the preacher from the example of Paul among the barbarians. and those things l were pointed out which are essential to mans well being, illustrations being taken from Old Testament incidents. l All the irony in these lessons, 2 l said MT. Gallaher, "is not directed against bad men, some is against good men. It teaches us that this life is not our real life. We seek another and better one in that immortal coun- try where irony ceases and sarcasm Is at an end and where Jacob no more | goes down in sorrow to the grave ! Dr. Gallaher is most eloquent speaker and the large audience was kept interested through every moment of his discourse by his graphic illus trations and by his vivid portrayal of | humanity.
