college laboratory this morning. and
although not positive that the result

previously performed by Mr.. Grumpy,
by placing articles on the sensitive side
of the Photographic plate and enclosing
the plate in an ordinary plate holder
and interposing the holder between
two plates of brass. The upper brass
plate was then connected with one pole
of induction coil, to an electric battery,
and the lower brass plate to the other
pole.
The electric current was then turned
on and left for Is minutes. The articles
photographed were three Yale keys and
four coins, the plate turning out a fair

DRuNKARD SHOOTS HIMSELF
Refore His Aged Noticeable VIII Proha-
by Die

Vancouver. b. c., Dispatch About s
o'clock this morning j. Tapley, the con-
fectioner. made a deliberate attempt at
suicide by shooting. The deed was Of
the most sensational nature, as Tapley
went into his aged mothers room and
shot himself through the breast before
her eyes.
Tapley was a native of Quebec, and
served some years in the Canadian ar
tillery at Kingston. At the end of his
term of service he removed to Winni-
peg, and thence to this city, where he
conducted the business of a baker and
confectioner. For a time he prospered.
but domestic troubles between himself
and his wife occurred. which caused
him to commence drinking. The breach
between them widened, the business at
the same time decreasing. Last fall his
wife left him. and is now believed to be
in San Francisco. A few weeks ago
Tapley started up again in business,
and, though he did fairly well, he al
ways seemed brooding over his trou-
bles. Last night he went up to his
mothers house and slept there. This
morning he called his mother and said
he loved Flossie, his wife, yet, and re-
GREETED that she had gone. His mother
said he could send for her. Tapley re-
pied: It's too late" He then shot him
self. He just missed his heart, but is
sinking fast, and the doctors hold out
small hopes of his recovery.

Dolly watkins Troubles

Caldwell, Idaho, Tribune: Last Mon
day morning Miss Dolly Watkins. a
pleasing girl of Is years, was alive and
apparently in good health. In the morn
ing she attended school as usual and
remained until the afternoon dismissal
She came home in the evening and
complained to her mother of certain
charges against her chastity ami APP
peared to be considerably disturbed in
consequence. However il would appear
that the charges We're well founded
and that the fact of her being enciente
was commonly known among the peo-
pie of Middleton. The matter had been
called to the attention of the school
board with view of having Dolly
taken out OF school, and one member OF
the board had approached her on the
subject. Shortly after arriving home
on the fatal evening Dolly proceeded
to write some letters, one of which, as
was afterwards discovered, to a firm in
Philadelphia; the other, on the same
subject. was never completed and as
bt contained no superscription, II Is not
known for whom II was intended. While
the girl was writing she was called to
supper, but excused herself on the plea
of indisposition. She withdrew to her
bedroom, but had been there only
short time when her parents were
alarmed by noise which they thought
was occasioned by dogs on the outside.
A. Z. Watkins. Dolly's stepfather,
started out to investigate, when he dis
covered that the disturbance came
from Dolly's room. The door leading 10
IL was slightly ajar. and groans pro-
ceeded from the inside. Mr.. Watkins
stepped into the room, and found the
girl lying upon the floor, face down. He
raised her upon the bed, where she
expired in a few moments. This is all
that is absolutely known concerning
the affair at this time and the coron-
er's jury which was Immediately sum-
moned found that Dolly Watkins came
TO her death by some cause unknown 10

case. and time may develop some
startling truths. There are many ru-

Indian Marries a White woman.

Lewiston, Idaho. Teller: A full-blood-
ed Indian was married last week to a
white girl. This is perhaps the first in
stance of the kind in the history of
this section of the country. The In
dams are coming TO the front upon the
strength of their improved financial
standing. The better class among the
Indian maidens scorn the idea of mar
rying white men. Colonel McConville
says the girls of his school consider
themselves far better than white trash.
A marriage with an ordinary white
man would be regarded as a disgrace.
The father OF the groom in the event
last week realized the Importance of
the relationship with the white race.
He remarked that his people were be-
coming civilized and cited the marriage
OF his son to a white girl as evidence
in support of his position.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: To-day we
are under bimetallism. A silver dollar, .
paper, or a gold dollar have exactly the
same value Why? Because the Govern
ment pledges gold redemption for all silver
and paper dollars issued by it under our
present laws The contention of the Bryan
followers is that the Government shall mint
and stamp all silver bullion taken to the
mint, and return to the holder of bullion a
United States silver dollar for each 31l4
grains of pure silver, and that silver dollars
so issued should be without redemption;
j. e., silver is to become the redemption
money of the country. Let us carefully
note some of the effects of this proposed
financial earthquake. First, all gold ana
other money based on gold would dlsap-
pear from circulation at once, and silver Ger
tifcates would simply be worth their bull
lion value, which at present would repre-
sent about 80 cents on the dollar. An IN
crease of the output of silver would still
farther widen the difference between gold
and silver, and a man retiring to rest at
night could only guess as to what would pe
the value of his money in the morning.
The cruelest blow struck by this wild
scheme would fall upon the wage-earners OF
the country, because they cannot determine
the wages they are TO receive. The mer-
chant who has laid in his stock of goods on
bimetallic basis would Immediately raise
the price of his goods to meet the decline In
the price of silver, and the wage-earner ana
pensioner would, at one blow, find their In
come reduced by one-half. But blow
greater than any loss of money would fall
upon us as people-the loss of National
credit and honor Comrades, can we by our
own act or consent submit to such condl-
tion of affairs by and through the dictatlon
of Tillman, Altgeld and company?

be million times, No.
Our flag, shot-torn and blood-stained on
