tinued at the navy yard the investigation OF

Attenlpted Suicide.

A n.iddle-aged man, jefferson d. Norris,
a wood turner by occupation, was taken to
Freedmen's Hospital last evening in a semi
conscious condition, suffering from dose
of laudanum. Norris resides at 2l5 llth
street southwest, but he was found late
yesterday afternoon at 18th and V streets
suffering from the effects of the drug. The
friends of the sufferer have declined to dis
close any of the facts of the case, but 1t
would seem that Norris visited an uptown
drug store, and. being acquainted with the
proprietor, secured possession of and swal-
lowed the laudaEum with suicidal intent
while the other persons in the store were IN
ignorance of his act.
At Free1nen's Hospital today Star re-
porter was Informed that the condition Of
Norris was much improved, and the ply
sicians are of the opinion that he will re-
cover.

posed of so cents worth of gold and 80
cents worth Of silver, and that this
shall henceforth be the standard OF
value in this country. In this way, he
claims, gold and silver men would
both be satisfied They would, in fact,
have nothing more to say because one
metal would always be used at the same
time. That beautiful thing, perfect
equality, would be gained.
Under Mr.. Wilson's plan the coinage
of the United States would be gold and
silver inseparably united. This would
be true bimetallism. The fratricidal
strife between the two metals would be
ended. All bills Of course, would rep
resent gold and silver dollars Is 1t
not a beautiful idea?
Mr.. Wilson is conducting a campaign
on behalf of his idea. He gives away
and sells medals which suggest, asnear-
ly as the law will permit, the design
of the new dollar he would have coined.
It is of about the same size as the
present silver dollar and the so cents
worth of gold is neatly inlaid on one
side. An eagle is stamped on the gold.
One of the great merits which he
claims for his scheme is that 1T would
abolish parity. A circular which he is
sues briefly states its objects as fol-
lows:
"The object Of this invention is to
overcome the great difficulty and eX-
pense of maintaining the parity of two
fluctuating standards Of value by sub
shutting for them single standard
more definite, stable and reliable, that
will secure to gold and silver equal
rights and advantages and to all class
es a medium Of the same value.
"To prevent Spectators from taking
the best money out of circulation and
shifting the poorest money on the peo-
pie, by combining the two currencies
into one so that they cannot be sepa-
rated without more loss than gain.
ITO secure sufficient redemption mon
ey for the increasing large volume of
paper obligations used in banking car
rency and exchange by safe and more
extended use of silver in connection
with gold.
"To prevent a panic by providing an
equitable compromise for the settle
ment of the present disagreement be-
tween gold and silver and other oppos-
ing interests. And to secure other adj
vantages too numerous to mention in
this circular"
If any fnancier thinks he sees any
practical objections in the scheme, Mr.,
Wilson will endeavor to explain them
away.

CLARA sHANKs.

recent drought the Shanks family has
been carrying water from the Keller
place, ana it usually fell to Clara
shanks to do this. These frequent
trips to the Kellers led to a suspicion
on the part of Mrs. Keller that a firta-
tation had sprung up between Clara and
her husband. Her jealous nature be-
came excited, and her opinion was soon
magnified to such an extent that she
believed there had been improper rela
lions between her husband and Clara.
The latter's two youngest brothers had
an idea that their sister liked Dan Kel
Ter, and whenever they would see him
out in his barnyard they would taunt
their sister with such remarks as
"Clara, there goes your Teller"
Daniel Shanks, the oldest brother,
heard Of Mrs. Keller's allegations, and
on the evening of July he went over
to their place to investigate. Mrs.
Keller told him of her suspicious and
that Clara must not be allowed to come
for water. Other members of the FAM
lily could come, but she must not come
into their yard. Next morning about
II o'clock Mrs. Keller, her sister, Miss
Emma Cox, and her husband, Daniel,
went out to the rail fence at the road
separating the two houses to make up
the difficulty. They called for Clara
to come to the door, but her brother
Dan would not let her go. Mrs. Shanks
responded, and there in the open door
yard the charges were told the mother,
who declared that she did not believe
them. To this Mrs. Keller turned to
her husband with this: will you let
them deny what l say?"
This scene ended, the Shanks family
went back into the house. At II o'clock
the family sat down to dinner, and
there for the first time the father, Fred
erlck, was told of the allegations made
by Mrs. Keller. Mrs. Shanks turning
to her daughter said, CLARA, What
about this?"
The daughter denied all the charges,

Statistics showing the amount of the
government receipts and expenditures
per head Of population over a period Of
decade and half are given in the
last report Of the treasury department.
According to the figures compiled by
him, the receipts for the year 1894 show
the lowest amount per capita for the
entire period, being only $4.455. The
highest figures were reached in 1882,
when the amount was 1864. The ex-
penditures per capita, on the other
hand, reached high figure last year,
viz, $5.S46, the largest amount for any
year with the exception of 1891 and
1893, the latter year furnishing the
larger amount, namely, $3.50. The
low-water mark was reached in 1886,
when the expenditures were $4.21O per
capita The expenditures on account
of pensions reached the highest amount
per capita in 1898, but with the excep-
ton of that year, the year 1894 fur
nished the highest amount per capita
under that head.

head at the base Of the skull. The
larynx and lungs were free and there
were no signs of strangling A careful
examination disclosed the fact that the
dead girl had no cause for secret shame,
which had been the basis for all suicidal
theories The unanimous verdict of the
seven physicians was; 1--WE find that
Clara Shanks met her death by VIC
lence; sources unknown"
The weight of the evidence brought
out by Attorney McCabe and the Kellers
was to fix the murder of Clara in her
own family. They all stated that they
believed the girl had been murdered,
but by whom they did not know. 1t
was held that the Shanks family To-
Gated the body entirely too easy not to
know something Of how it came there.
The dream of Mrs. Shanks was thought
to be too realistic to come from sleep
ing brain. Also the Kellers testified to
having seen young Shanks cross the
field to the Wolf Creek thicket twice
during the afternoon, once on a run,
and at night all retired as though moth
ing had happened.
Here this strange mystery rests. At
torney Thomas says there is evidence
which cannot be given out yet, but
will come out soon. The Shanks, the
Kellers, the citizens all talk freely and
all cry for justice, and all firmly believe
light will be soon thrown on the dark
plot. No more fitting place in all Parke
or Fountain counties could have been
found for such deed than this weird
Mace called Wolf Creek Falls. The en-
tire valley is book of romance and
mystery. Named by the red man Wolf
creek, it has come down LOADED with
traditions. More Indian relics have
been found here than any place in the
country; Indian kettles can be seen at
every turn in the rocky gorge, while
an old Indian grave is to be found on
the high cliff overlooking the falls
Last Sunday 500 persons visited the
scene Of the tragedy, and one week be-
fore 700 persons drove down the hol-
low to see the pool where the body OF
Clara Shanks was found. The interest
grows as the case is being unraveled

, There is q new fad in bicycle riding
that is rapidly gaining in rural popu-
larity although 1t is not likely that it
will ever be introduced in the larger
cities. The problem that confronted
the country SWANS was how to take a
lady with them for a spin without her
riding an extra wheel, or putting them
to the expense Of bicycle built for
two" Inventive minds have solved the
difficulty. Two young men owning
bicycles join forces and fasten their
wheels together by a board that serves
as a seat for the lady Of their choice.
The disadvantage of this system is that
each fellow is obliged to be content
with half girl, but despite this its
use is growing.
