MR.. ROWAN'S VIEWS,
He Talks About Municipal Ownership
and How He Stands.

l
Hon. Thomas e. Rowan, a candidate
| for the Democratic nomination for
mayor. was seen yesterday and submit
ted to the following interview:
| Are you in favor of municipal owner
| ship of the water works and are you op-
posed to any extension of the present
lease that company has with the city 2"
Il am" said Mr.. Rowan, ''in favor of
municipal ownership of the water works
and of the lighting plant. The city IS
now paying out thousands Of dollars ev-
cry year to the Lighting company that
could be saved, and the municipality
could be given better service by owning
it's own lighting plant. One could be
erected at a very low figure, and l
heartily favor this proposition"
But upon the water question, Mr..
Rowan?"
Il see that steps have already been
taken to advertise for bids for the con-
struction of a city water plant. Now our
contract with the water company does
not expire for two years yet and then the
city is under contract to purchase the
plant of the water company. The city
is to appoint one arbitrator, the water
company one and the two third party
to fix the price. When the time arrives
these arbitrators will fix the price and
then the city can purchase ~ :
Il cannot exactly understand why
there is SO much haste just now about
paralleling the pipes of the City Water
company If the city starts in TO do this
there will be endless litigation and moth
ing will be accomplished for the whole
matter vii be tied up for years. But the
city should own its water works by all
means
The above statements made by Mr.
Rowan were prepared after an inter-
view. and in order to be sure that no
misstatement had been made they We're
submitted to Mr.. Rowan for correction.
The interview as reported Mr.. Rowan
announced to be correct.

speech was spicy and to the point. The

He was followed by few pointed re-

white metal, but q reform government

Then, to be fair, the club gave the

exercised by Mrs. Maynard, who pre-
sented logical and eloquent arguments
in support of the cause of woman suf-
frage, which, the able speaker contend

An enthusiastic Bryan meeting was
held Friday evening in Lees hail. Sew

address was made by Judge Phillips
which was both instructive and con-
vincing. The speaker was frequently
applauded as he made his telling argu-
ment against the Inconsistencies and
stultifying sophistries of the Republic

troll of the money syndicates. He cited
the evidences of that noted Republican

loused and heartless policy of the money
grabber at the expense of the producer,

ALL FOR SILVER
Over Four Thousand People at the Wig
wan to Listen to Bryan Speeches.

The union meeting at the Silver Wig
wan last evening packed that popular
peoples forum and fully 1900 who were
anxious to become auditors were turned
away.
All of this was brought about by a
limited amount of advertising. The
meeting was not doomed in any way.
There was no parade and no band to
awaken enthusiasm. The enthusiasm
was already around, and no artificial
methods were required to bring it out.
The people came to listen and to learn.
They wanted to hear the true doctrine
expounded by some of their neighbors
who had given the subject some study
and thought.
The meeting was presided over by a
Silver Republican, the Hon. ]. L. Muir
ply, and an excellent presiding officer
he made. The applause that greeted the
speakers was frequent. Bryan's name
caught them. and 80 did every point
made for silver.

SILVER SPECULATION SPIKED.

Editor Herald: 1t has been alleged
that the silver mine owner and the spec
ulators would be the only gamers in the
free coinage Of silver in the United
states. To cure this anticipated vice,
and to make harmony, I suggest that
our lawmakers give us free coinage OF
silver, at the ratio of 16 to ], with this
prov!so: That the government retain
for the privilege and cost of coinage the
difference between the face value of the
silver dollar and the market value of the
silver bullion at the time of coinage. and
that gold and silver coin of the United
states shall be legal tender for all debts.

Gagged Like a feast.

Bound to iron rings anchored to the
walls, and Gagged like wild beast, Grace
Solomon, the daughter of a wealthy
pawn-broker of Denver, has raved for
seven months, in condition and under
surroundings the most terrible, says a
Denver correspondent of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. When Secretary
Whitehead, of the Humane Society,
visited the store at 165 Larimer street,
he was conducted upstairs and found
the young girl in l6-foot ring, utterly
nude, under the care of a young man.
No effort was made to shield her from
view. She was for a time under the
care of her mother, reported partly de-
mented, who declined to attend to her
most simple wants, and the result is
that the girls nails have grown to such
a length that they are used as weapons
of defense. The filth of the place beg
garded description.
Her condition is the result of investi-
CATION OF spiritualism, it being charged
that her mind was affected by demon

been exposed 'in various parts of the

room, and when she became violent was
chained to the wall, where her condition
became worse, and where the most
common wants of humankind were de-
MED her.
What to do with her is question, for
the insane asylum is overcrowded. j.
Solomon, her father, is one of the
wealthiest men of the West, an old time
pawn-broker, who counts his cash by the
thousands. The case is the most terri
