OSCAR APPELQUIST DEAD.
Expires This Morning AFTER Long Suffer
ing With Consumption.

Death relieved the sufferings OF
Oscar N. Appelquist at 9:17 this
morning after an illness of almost
two years with that dread disease
consumption. The deceased came
home at the advice of physicians
from the west, where he had been in
search of health. about a month
ago, very weak and a physi.
ical wreck, and it was apparent
that it would only be question of a
short time until the disease would
have done its worst. He steadily
weakened until the end, not uneX.
pected, came this morning.
Oscar was the eldest son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Frederick Appelquist, of

in this city and reached his 22d year

public schools. he began to study
pharmacy at +. II. Thomas drug
store. which he left in 1892 to com.
plete his studies at the Northwestern
university, Chicago, from which he
graduated in March, 1898. He again
resumed his duties with Mr.. Thomas.
His health began to fail, and in De-
cember he went to San Antonio,
Texas, with the hope of lettering his
condition. He improved there. and
last fall went to Paxton, Neb., where
he contracted severe cold which
superinduced relapse, from which
he never recovered, returning home
| to die.
He was bright young man, full
of promise. and his demise is a sor.
rowful affection to not only his par
ents. but to the deceased's friends,
who are many. Oscar had drug
gist diplomas in Texas, Illinois and
Nebraska. The date of the funeral
has not yet been decided upon.

A Point on Wool Prices.

American Economist: During the
campaign which preceded the elect
ion of President Cleveland wool was
selling in New Mexico at IL cents
per pound, and the free-trade orators
were loudly denouncing the McKin-
ley act for bringing it down to that
low figure. "Give us free wool,I
they exclaimed, "and we will soon
have higher prices
The wreckers were elected and
prices went down to 8 cents. "Oh,
that is caused by the Mckinley act;
just wait until we repeal the iniquity
and then you will see where the
prices will 60" they said. Thefol-
lowing, from the Albuquerque Citi-
zen of April II shows where prices
have gone under the German law:
Y. p. Edie, on account of Primrose
& Co., Trinidad, has paid 8 cents for
5000 pounds of wool shipped this
season. Large lots are in sight, but
prices are not likely to run as high
as the above inquire.
Now the same veracious free-trad-
ers are Boosting that prices have
actually advanced. Thus we see
that II cents was low price under
the Mckinley act and 6 cents is a
high price under the democratic act
according to free-trade arithmetic.

HOWEVER the Cleveland cookoo
democrats may strive to avert 1t, the
democratic party is bound TO 20 to
pieces In 1896 on the financial ques-
ton, as II did on the question of
slavery in the territories in 1860.
The unequivocal declaration by the
democrats Of Illinois in convention
last week, in favor Of unconditional
free coinage Of silver at the ratio Of
l6 to |, settles it that the mass of the
party in the south and west can
never harmonize with the gold
standard element led by Cleveland,
Carlisle, and the money kings Of the
east. All the republican party has
TO do Is to reafllrm its loyalty to
safe and rational bimetallism, point
TO its successful adjustment and reg
ulation of questions of finance in
the past, and pledge itself to correct
the errors Of the democracy in re-
lntion TO tariff measures, and step
into full control of the government.
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1895-06-13

The Cleveland brand of the demo-
cratic press insistently assert that
the business and industrial depres-
sion Of the country is being relieved,
and claim il to be due to the Cleve-
land tariff policy. It is true that
wages in a few instances are higher
than they We're in 1891, but in the
main they are far below the wages
Of 1904 and 1882. All over the coun-
try there have been strikes for the
purpose of securing even the wages
Of ls03. The volume of business has
increased over that Of 1884, but IL is
only so per cent of that of three
years ago Business failures in the
last tew weeks have been over 600,
against less than 500 in the CORES
ponding period Of 1872, and this, too
in spite Of the fact that the weaker
firms went under long ago. Exports
have decreased, although the mar
kets of the world are open to us.
We have been selling bonds instead
Of redecming them, rs We did under

An Entire Family Lose Their Lives
by Being Struck by u l'asseageF
Train.

Minneapolis, Sept. 1S.-Another ac-
cident occurred on the $40 line yester-
day, and this time another member Of
the Washburn family has been in
juled. w. ID. Washburn, Jr., was on
the train together with ten or fifteen
other passengers, and came out Of the
wreck somewhat the worse for wear.
1t is almost impossible to obtain satis-
factory details concerning the acci-
dent. The wreck occurred at AMMAN
dale, Mtnn., on the West division Of
the 500. Young Washburn returned
to the city and went directly home.
His most serious injury seems to be
confined to his hand, but he escaped
much easier than several other pas
sensers. A reporter called ut the
Washburn house and ascertained that
the story told the family by young
Mr.. Washburn was us follows: He
left the city In the morning to obtain
the hunting dog which his father had
been obliged to leave up country on
account of the accident which ,oc.
CURED last week in which the senator
was injured. In the makeup of the
train We're two sleeping cars. A
spreading of the rails Is given as the
cause Of the accident. The sleeping
cars left the track and rolled over
twice. The engine was demolished.
According to Mr.. Washburn's esti-
mate between ten and fifteen people
were injured, but he knew Of no one
being killed. The accident, lie said,
occurred very near trestle work,
where the elnfnnkment was high. and
it was down this that the cars rolled.
Six People Killed.
Lynchburg, Va. Sept. 1S.-Six per-
sons We're killed as a result of a rail-
road crossing accident at Lawyers
Station. eleven miles below here to-
day. A vehicle containing six per-
sons, supposed to be Joseph Callahan
of Rustburg. Campbell county; two
women, girl about ten and two small
children was crossing the tracks of
the Southern railway when it was
struck by the engine of No. 35, south
bound passenger train. Eve Of the
occupants of the vehicle were killed
outright. and the young girl was so Sc
verely injured that she died shortly
afterward. The parties We're unknown
in the vicinity of the accident, and it
was only with difficulty and some un.
certainty that they were identified as
the family of Callahan of Rustburg.
The railroad officials are at q loss to
understand how the accident occurred
at the place named, as they say the
track Is visible for distance of 200
yards or more, and the occupants of
the vehicle should have been able to
learn of the approaching train.
