THE SUMMER GIRL.
Now Days She Burns Her Lovers Name
Into the Whitcncss Of Her Arm.

The season has not advanced very
far yet. but stories of queer capers cut
up by the summer girl are beginning
to arrive. The best I've heard up TO
date, comes from that Democratic re-
sort-Peaks where hitherto the young
ladies have refrained from the silly
affections of such places as Old Or
chard or Bar Harbor, says a writer in
the Portland Sunday Telegram. From
10 o'clock in the morning until noon,
so the story goes. a handsome and de

Island. Those that have approached
her declare that one fair and plump
arm is Away exposed TO the bentle
hreezes and rays of Old Sol. This pc
cuIiarity and the fact Of the girls con-
slant appearance at the time mentioned
have aroused much curiosity on the
part of other young ladies', and they
have sought to discover the whyfore
Some said the girl was lovesick. and
moped thusly upon the rocks while
dreamily gazing out to sea. But in
the afternoon she always appeared
about the active scenes of the isle and
appeared to be the gayest of the gay.
"Pshaw," she's only getting a beauti-
full tan on one girl. however. claims
to have discovered the secret and
eagerly imparts for the benefit of hui
manity. The girl who sits upon the
rocks is having the initials of her
lovers name tattoed upon her arm.
Not by the process practiced by old
salts. but by the aid of the sun. The
initials are cut in a band of leather
which is placed about her left arm,
and thus the suns rays will penetrate
through and photograph upon the deli
cate flesh the letters which stand for
her young mans name. Isn't that Il
brilliant idea? 1t has an advantage,
too. over the old method of tatooing.
If the young lady sees fit to be off with
the old love. she can by the vigorous
use of cucumber juice and sand soap
erase the initials. In ease of India ink
that would be impossible and might
lead to much embarrassment when the
new love was on

STAGING FALLS.
Three Men at Work on the Opera
House, Painfully Injured.
Were Given Prompt Attendance Bad
Breaks. or Internal injuries.

| An accident occurred, Tuesday after
noon. about AIS o'clock, in the Opera
house block, three men being more or
less badly hurt. They fell with a
staging a distance of Is feet, the lat
ter coming on top of them. The won
der is they weren't hurt more.
1t seems that the staging had been
| built in the Interior yesterday morn
ing. preparatory to the preliminary
work to be done in repairing the
| building recently burned out. With
out warming while the three men were
at work, the staging gave way and
they fell to the floor beneath. No
the accident, the trouble being from an
imperfect piece in the staging.
George W. Fletcher, Charles Chase of
Gardiner. and Redington p. Morton
We're the men injured. None. it is

Mr.. Fletcher was found in bad shape
He seemed to be internally hurt. He
was taken to the Office of DR.. r. j.

Hill made an examination. No bones
shaken up. He was taken to his home
on the West River road, about four
miles from the city proper, in one of
Il. w. Soules teams. by his father
c. w. Fletcher. The doctors think
there are no internal injuries.
Charles Chase was taken to Hotel
North. He suffered much pain from
his chest and ribs. He was attended
by Drs Friend and Tuell, who were
called to the spot. His left arm and
left ankle are sprained, but no bones
We're broken. He will probably be up
When he fell he caught hold, half way
down, onto a stay lathe, where he re-
manned for half a minute or more. 1t

let him drop. Mr.. Chase is in hard
luck. He has been working only five
days. having just recovered from a
bad cut in the foot received from
working at the Hollingsworth & Whit

MIR. Norton broke Il toe, but other
wise was unhurt. He was able to
walk home. the extent of the injury
to his toe not being realized. He Will
be up in a day or two, but it will be a
month or more before he can do much

The men We're given prompt attend

anticipated. 1t was a narrow escape
for them.

The Democratic party and its great
leaders, from jefferson and Jackson to
the statesmen of today, have always
stood for sound money No paper money
has ever been made and issued by any
Democratic administration.
The platform means deprecated cur
rency of silver and government paper
money worth the value of the silver
necessary to redeem it.
1t means monometallism, as the coin
age of silver at a ratio double its value
would of course, expel gold from the
currency, it being worth twice as much
to send abroad to purchase silver; as to
coin. none would be coined.
1t means the reputation of 30 per cent

other-the savings of toil-and ! am not

1t means a stain upon the character and
credit of our republic. and ] love her too
well to fail to enter my protest against it.
1t means the reduction in an hour of

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

The following from the Kansas
City Times has reference to former
Baxter boy:
Carl G. Craig drank nearly an
ounce of laudanum at 1408 Oak
street Friday night in an attempt to
commit suicide. He was discov-
cred when life was almost extinct,
but by the laborious efforts of Po-
lice Surgeon Landon his life was
saved.
From letter that Craig sent to
his wife it seems that family trouble
together with i'll fortune, were the
causes of his dependency. His
wife aud children reside at 300 East
Eighteenth street. They have not
been living together for some. time,
and Craig has been boarding at the
house on Oak street. Before taking
the poison he sent letter to his
wife by a colored boy. In the letter
he told her that she didn't love him
as she should. that he had repeated
eddy requested her TO come and
bring his children to see him, but
she had refused. THE bearer of
this note" he said, doesn't know
anything, aud as soon as he leaves
down goes the drug" He con-
cluded by intimating that n third
party had come between his wife
and himself.

QUOTES FROM HARRISON.

In his speech at Seymour, Ind,
Wednesday. VIM. J. Bryan quoted
from Benjamin Harrison as follows;
~ want to call your attention
here in Indiana to portion of
message sent to Congress by MIR.
Harrison when he was president in
1890. Let me read You what he says
about the effect of Legislation on
silver. You will remember that
this was just after the passage of
the Sherman law. IL was signed by
President Harrison, aud after it's ,
passage the price of silver rose to
Sl.2l an ounce. On the LIST of De.
cembcr he sent his message to
Congress, aud in that message you
will find these words:
"The enlargement of our cur
rency by the purchase of silver
bullion undoubtedly gave an up
ward tendency TO trade aud had
marked effect on prices, but this
natural and desired effect of the
silver Legislation was by many err
roneously attributed to the tariff"

don't believe Harrison said II, you

AM Advertlser,s Dream,

A certain merchant believes thor
oughly in advertising, and the re-
suit is he has the biggest business
in his town. Indeed, he works so
much on week days that when he
goes to church on Sunday, as he al
ways does, he generally goes to
sleep as soon as the preacher gets
we'll started into his sermon.
Not long ago visiting clergy
man filled the pulpit, and our
friend, being unaccustomed to him
slept rather uneasily, starting up
every now and then as the minister
grew emphatic aud almost shouted
the words OF truth at the congrega'
ton. When the preacher called
out:
Brethren, why stand ye here all
the day idle?"
Because they don't ADVERTISE"
sung out the half-awakened mer-
chant, and the way his wife grabbed
at him and shook him into sense
of his situation almost broke up

GUS number Of highly colored lith-
ographs which they have posted up

quite evident that they "won't stand

They picture out on this litho-
graph laborcr buying groceries
with free silver dollar, for which
the merchant will only give him SO
cents worth of goods. Now, that is
a very good argument If they had
only stopped at that. But like the
parrot, they talk too damn much
by proceeding to illustrate on the
same piece on paper how the silver
miner is going TO profit by free
silver. He is shown as handing in
to the United States mint 50 cents
worth of silver bullion and receiv-

ANOTHER KILLING AT iBUDoE.
Hank Pangborn Meets Death In q
Drunken Crowd.

ssss>~s-
On Sunday afternoon, as usual, a
number of dissolute characters
congregated at one Of the dives on
the state line east of Galena, and
during the afternoon man died
from the effects of a wound received
while being in the drunken crowd.
1t seems that colored man
named Clifford Majors, better known
as "Maje," was at the joint. which is
owned by n man named Chester. "A
white man named J. G. Kelley con-
ceived the idea that il would be II
good scheme to make "Maje" dance.
This "Maje" refused to do, saying
he didn't have time. Kelley then
seized shotgun, which was stand
ing in q corner, cooked IL and lev
eled il at "Maje," but the latter no
ticing the "gun play" grabbed the
muzzle of the gun and pushed it
aside. In doing so the gun was
discharged and the load took effect
in the knee of Hank Pangboril, who
was standing close by. Pangborn
was put into buggy and quickly
taken to his home in East Galena,
but died before medical aid could
reach him.
Kelley was arrested and taken TO
Carthage, the killing taking place
OH the Missouri side of the line.
