The state is making every effort to
convict Grove of murder in the first

Witnesses have frequently referred to

the former was shot. and who has
since disappeared The defense has
been particular in questions about this
third man, and considerable comment
has been excited concerning his con-

The witnesses for the state to-day

the shooting; Daniel McKenna, Peter

England That Is Interesting.
Des Moines, Iowa, June 5.-General
]. Il. Weaver and other leaders of the
silver party in the West were present
at the state meeting to-day. There was
large general attendance and much
enthusiasm manifested. The confer
ence to-day was non-partisan, and il is
understood no effort will be made to
nominate a ticket.
The silver wing Of the democratic
party has a conference scheduled for
tomorrow. Most -of those here to-day
will remain over for ii.
A letter from United States Cir
cult Judge Henry c. Caldwell of Lit
tie Rock, Ark, was read. in which he
says:
so long as we proclaim to the world
that our purpose is to adhere to sin
gle gold standard till England agrees
to abandon it, the free coinage of sill
yer at any ratio will never come. Sup
Tlications in this direction will be I'm
vain. She spurns them with arrogance
and insolence,= and such cowardly and
pusillanimous action on our part de-
serves that she should. What is more.
England's action is courageous and ar
gressive action, not cowardly supplica-
ton. The issue is sharply defined.
