be badly infested by Indians who
made raids on emigrants to kill

We met Is men on their way to the

nice oilcloth coat, which, no doubt,
belonged to some one of the many
travellers who were going from
California, and probably had lost
it that day.

Simple Question For Silver Leaders.

Who would be benefited by adultera- tion of the currency? Not the farmers. They could not be better off if they got two 50 cent dollars where they get now one 100 cent dollar, and that is the ut most Til1man would be able to give them. But the fearful contraction of the currency caused by 8 collapse of standard money to the 50 cent cheap sil- yer standard would create such hard times ti1at for years workingmen would get hardly more 50-cent dollars than they get now 100-cent dollars. How would that benefit them? Neither Alt geld nor Tillman has ever explained this simple question. Chicago Tribune

FEATHERED THEIR NESTS WITH BRIGHT NEW CRISP
 TWENTY DOLLAR BILLS.
But They Were All Bad and It Looks
 Like They Knew it, Too.

The arrest of Getzener and dark Virginia, who would be his wife, has lead to some startling discov- cries concerning a green goods game that has been worked here. It turns out that Getzenger was not the man who passed the bad bill at Broekway's Monday night. The fact is A. J. Owens and Dob Jacks, now the guests of Jailer Gibson, have confessed, only Jacks says he was a tool in the hands of his more industrious, but sadly cratic partner. It is the story of old dog Tray again, which, though forcible. has never been thoroughly impress ed upon the human mind.
 Last night one of the little En- glish sparrows who know so much put acting Chief of Police Stewart on to thing or two and he repaired to the Mansion when the objects of his suspicious were enjoying to the fullest extent their roll of green. It was not long before one of the new twenty dollar bills was pro- duced for beer. The Chief and Patrolman Craig took the men and the money, but not the beer. At the police headquarters Owens made q break for freedom but officials who can plan an arrest can also chase that which they ha !e arrested.
 Connected with this affair is another tale unfoIded. Bill Smith, en route to Texas, is in town and tells of a man who accosted him on the road from Star City to Corners. vile and wanted to lend him money. He stated that he had plenty of if and knew where to get more. This man's' name was Gentry and advised Smith to work for Owens. This advice, however, was not taken. It seems that the green goods men and their az ents, and in fact counterfeiters in general would get enough of good thing in time. Their operations have never been successful in this section. The U. s. detective was telegraphed for and arrived this morning. Deputy Constable Creed Taylor also left this morning for Lincoln county in the hope of securing the rest of the gang.

MARYLAND DEMOCRACY
The Cleveland Administration IndOrSed--A Sound Money
 Plank Recognized.

BALTIMoR June l0.-No lack of enthusiasm was manifested by dele gates and spectators in the opening proceedings of the Democratic State convention which was called to or der n few minutes past noon by Chairman H. w. Talhott. The lower floor of the pera-house, in which the convention was called to order, was occupied by delegates and alter mates, while in the galleries and boxes was packed an enthusiastic audience which cheered vOciferonsly for the Democratic party and sound money and the Cleveland adminis- tration. In calling the convention t0 order Chairman Talbott made a vigorous speech and among other things said that Maryland was still to be found enrolled under the ban- ner of sound currency. The roll was then called and the usual commit tees appointed after which brief recess was taken to enable the com mittecs to report. Upon reassem- bling the convention will proceed to elect four delegates and as many al- ternates to the National convention. A strong gold standard plank will be incorporated in the platform and the Cleveland administration up- hOl1

HERE AND THERE.

Dumas, whose books are thrilling, to say the least of it, even if his lan- guage is not as well chosen as that of other writers, was a man of inf nite good heart and possessed the most delicate sensibilities. The fol- lowing story, although probably not authentic, illustrates his nature:
 While writing a serial story for one of the Paris papers man came to him and said:
 "M. Dumas, will you be kind enough to tell me what becomes of your heroine9"
 "She dies of consumption" he re- piled.
 "In the last chapter?"
 "In the last chapter"
 "My dear NJ. Dumas, l beg of you to change that chapter. -
 "Impossible. A woman could nor do otherwise who has lived as have made nay heroine live
 LA human life depends upon it.
 How so?"
 My daughter is so carried away by your, work that if your heroine dies of consumption my daughter will die of consumption"
 That last chapter was changed, so the story goes, and ten years later the author was presented to a woman who looked like the statute of Germania.
 .This is she whose life you have saved" said the urbane father, "she ia married and has four children" l,
 And my book has had four editions" replied Dumas; I've are quits.

4 CHANGE OF VENUE. WILEY GOODE ARRAIoNED
 PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
A Change of Venue Granted to the Warner District of the Lin.
 coin Circuit Court.

An unusually small crowd gathered ln the eourt-room this morning when court was opened. The case on the docket was that of the State of Arkansas vs. Wiley Goode. charged with the murder of Frank of Frank l.. Howe. Goode was brought in few minutes after $ o'clock. He was a little pale and wore full beard. He also wore hand cuffs, which were removed at the outer door. He was arraigned, the Prosecuting Attorney reading the indictment, during which time the prisonsr stood squarely in front oi the judge, his right hand raised and his left resting in his hip pocket. He entered his plea of not guilty after which his attorneys, Messrs. W. B. Sorrells and 0. c. Porter, filed a mo- tion for change of venue which motion was sustained. The case was set for Wednesday, August I9, at the Warner district of the Lincoln Circuit Court.
 Quite large number of witnesses have been subpOcned, both for the prosecution and the defense, among the former were Quong Wah and Tom Tom, the Chinese restaurant keepers
 1t will be remembered that at the time of the shooting Goode claimed that it was merely case of mis- taken identity. He thought Howe was # Chlnaman.

George Vanderbilt can ride loo miles on macadamized roads over his estate at Biltmore, near Ashe- vile, N. c. Surrounded by all the pomp and splendor of the million aires possessions is little log cabin which money can not buy. The owner, a simple mountaineer, like his forefathers, has grown old in that hut, and there he intends to die. It is currently reported that an incredibly large sum was offered and refused. Certain it is that Mr, Vanderbilt would like to get rid of that cabin, which he eonsideres an eye-sore.

California Must Re.nain Gold State.

California was a gold state when it was admitted and has remained gold state since. None of it's debtors has anything to gain by radical change of standard, not even the banks, which, under silver standard, would be able to pay all depositors 50 cents on the dol lar. The derangement of business and temporary destruction of credit that would result from such a change would probably break most of the banks in California. including perfectly solvent institutions.

What Do They Care For Experience.

To open the hoodgates and permit the worlds volume of silver to flow to our hints to be coined at l6 to 1 i'll the hope and belief that the market value of sill yer would be thereby advanced to $1. 29 an ounce seems to me to be dream so extravagant as to be beyond the possi- bility of realization. If free coinage by this country alone would not only ar rest the decline of silver, but restore its market value, why is it that such a re- suit has not been attained in the coun- tries where free coinage is permitted? The hints of Japan, Mexico and several of the countries of South America-Pe- I'll, Bolivia and Equador-are today open to the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver, yet in no single instance can it be shown that the bull lion value of silver has been kept at a parity with it's coinage value. More than this, no nation on the globe today has it's hints open to the free and un- limited coinage of both gold and silver that is not confessedly on silver basis with gold at premium. What reason have we, therefore, as nation to ex- pect any different results if we should venture on such an experiment? From reason and experience l am forced to the conclusion that to open our hints to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to 1 without the CO., operation of the leading commercial na- tions of Europe would quickly plunge the nation to silver basis and create such disturbance in our monetary sys tenn as to involve it's total destruction.
