Lightning coff-emaker. 70 "
The new improved lightning coffee,
maker for which E. w. Jones is agent
is certainly a wonderful invention, and
the beverage it turns out is just a lit
tie more delicious than that made by
any other process. 1t saves at least
one-third of the coffee. 1t makes
coffee or tea by the distiling process,
allowing no evaporation, and thus re-
tains the entire strength and aroma
of the coffee or tea. 1t makes coffee
as clear as wine. No sediment or
powdered coffee is found in the bev-
erage. All bitterness is removed, and
the pot is so simple in construction
child can use it. 1t will last longer
than other pots because it need not
90 on the stove 1t will always keep
bright, because it does not come in
contact with the SCOT. 1t makes cof-
fee or tea in from one to five minutes.

RESULT OF SILVER CRAZE.
Creditors Already Demanding Gold Pay
ment Of Obligations.
GOLD BOND AT THE COURT HOUSE
Was Entered by Prothonotary
Woolley.

prothonotary Victor B. Woolley on
Friday entered up the first gold bond
that has come into his Office. This is
one of the expected results Of the free
siiver agitation and is a case OF the
creditor making such arrangements as
TO assure his receipt in the future of
equal value for the loan made now.
Previously the bonds filed at the pro-
thonotary's Office have specified that
the principal and interest shall be pay
able in D.current lawful money OF the
United States. y Under policy OF
repudiation and free coinage OF silver,
bond Of the current lawful money"
sort may be liquidated in silver, whose
bullion value at the time of payment
may be much less than the present
purchasing power of money.
The gold bond entered up by Mr..
Woolley Friday is only for $500, but il
opens the way for more to follow. The
bond specifies that principal and in
terst are made payable In Hgold coin
of the United States of the present
standard of weight and fineness. y The
gold clause was written in In place oi
the current lawful money! clause,
which is printed in the blank form.
Several lawyers are having bonds
printed with the gold clause incor.
porated in them. This fact indicated
that creditors will insist upon receiv'
ing proper return for their loans.

A FATAL SHOOTING AFFRAY

Sheriff..
The Tragedy the Result OF Remarks Made
by Platter in Court, Which SeIfart Com
strued as u Reflection on His Character
Both Men Prominent Citizens.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. LII. ii.
Platter, a widely known attorney and
Democratic politician was shot and
almost instantly killed in the corridor
OF the Court House last night by
Henry Seifert, restaurant proprietor
and sporting maB.-
The tragedy resulted from remarks
made by Platter in court, which Seifert
construed as reflection on his charac-
ter. Seifert had been pressed before
estate oil Rudolph Gerknw, a rich
brewer who died here this week, Plat
ter had represented some Of the bene-
ficiaries of the will who were opposing
Seifert, and it had been insinuated tnat
Seifert's relations With Mrs Gerkow
were not of the proper nature.
When court adjourned the two men
met in the corridor. Seifert claims
that Platter struck him with cane.
Seifert then drew a revolver and fred,
the shot passing through Platter's
heart. Seifert then walked into the
sheriff's office and gave himself up.
Platter came from Defiance, o., to
this State nine years ago and was
elected prosecuting attorney of Whit
man county. In 1888 he was the
Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor and in 1892 was candidate
on the Democratic ticket for Presi-
Dental elector. Before coming 70
Wash ington he was for three years
prosecuting attorney Of an Ohio county.
He was sc years of age. His wife. ia

terrible disaster involving great loss
of life, has Just reached here.
A tidal wave. estimated to have, been
about five milee In length, swept in
from the sea last Sunday and in
undated the coast of Haichau, in the
northeast of the Province OF Kiang Su.
The damage done was very great.
Many villages were destroyed and it
ie estimated that at ieast' 4, 600 people
We're drowped. -
In ADDITION an Immense number OF
cattle persisted and the rice fields were
submerged and almost totally de-
stroyed, with the result that a famine
is feared in that district during the
coming autumn.
fIaichau is situated opposite Yu-
Chau Island, on the coast OF the Kiang-
Su province, which is on the Whang-
Hal or Yellow Sea. The surface Is
mostly level, which may account for the
loss of life. KiangsSu is one Of the
most fertile provinces Of the empire
and exports more silk than any other
