The Independent Stage Driver.

Eastern tourists who cannot differen-
tiate between a California stage driver
and an eastern coachman meet with
many a rude shock in the wild and
woolly west, and they soon learn that
tho Californian is a knight of the reins
several grades higher in the social scale
than the mental OF the east.
There is an old driver at Monterey
who is determined that his patrons shall
make no mistake concerning his exact
status, and in a quiet way he checks all
attempts to make a servant of him. A
short time ago be was driving a party
of tourists about, when one querulous old
lady who had annoyed him not q little
by her air of superiority asked:
my man, do you know the name Of
that wild hower?'
"Yep," be replied and iicked ono Of
his leaders with his whip.
She paused a moment for him TO give
the name, but he merely clucked TO the
wheele-s.
Driver, do you know the name of
that ficwer?' she repeated in an imperi-
Gus tone.
"yep. Gil. up there. Bally!'
Again she waited and again demand

SLAUGHTER or DEER.

Game Killed In Montana by Sportsmen
JUS: For the Fun Of the Thing.
W.. II. Wright tells in Recreation
where much of Montana's game has
zone. He says:
81 have known two self called sports
men to leave Spokane for two days, and
on returning tell of having killed 63
deer, a story the ranchmen at whose
home they put up corroborated. That
was years ago. 1t would take a long
hunt there now to kill SO deer. I once
knew a man TO go and make a winter
camp and kill over 100 deer, which he
hung up. He tried to sell them where
they hung, but failed. He went east
somewhere, where he lived, and I've
never heard Of him since. He claimed
to have killed 100. but / counted $50
carcasses in sight near his camp the fol-
lowing spring.
"While going from Palmer's lake, in
Washington, to the Salmon river I pass
ed through Toatscoulee and stopped
overnight near a small lake on which
was camped a party of hunters. 1t
would have been easy to load a four
horse wagon with the heads of deer
alone that were piled up in one place.
There were deer carcasses all about the
camp.
"I could name more than so of such
hunters who have killed thousands Of
deer and left them where they fell. On
" last winter two men left Spokane
and killed 33 deer in Idaho, not bring
ing out 3 pound OF meat 10 show for it.
81 have seen many Indian hunts, enc
Of which resulted in the death Of over
400 deer, but not one of the deer was
wasted. The Indians hunt and then eat
the meat before they hunt again. They
kill to eat, but the whites kill for fun.
Last spring n man in the Bitter Root
valley killed seven elk without stirring
from his track. Not one was saved"

DEAF AND DUMB.
What 1t Means to BE Cut or From Speech
and Hearing.

To be deaf is TO be unable to hear,
and to be dumb is to be unable tc talk.
The lack OF hearing is remedied by
teaching the child to use his eyes and
understand either signs or the motions
of the lips, and the lack of speech is
remedied by teaching the child to use
his vocal organs or his hands to make
others understand, and. behold, the task
is accomplished, and he is lust like
other folks!" Not one thought is given
to language, to the wonderful medium
of exchange by means of which the bust
ness of life is carried on, that is sup
posed to come by nature, Or instinct, or
miracle, but never by teaching.
A cultured lady, a literary woman,
said TO me once, after seeing some deaf
children and hearing them go through
certain vocal exercises which included
every elementary sound in the English
language: NOW, if these children can
make all these sounds correctly. why
don't they go right on and talk? What
binders them?" She was a bright WON
an, and when a very short explanation
bad been given her the reason flashed
upon her, and she said: why, what a
fool Iaml / see! They We got something
to say, and the mechanical ability to
say it, but no language to say it in"
And in that n sentence she expressed
the reason for being of all the institu-
tions and schools for the deaf in the
country.
mo language to say it in" that ex
presses the condition of a deaf child's
mind before he is taught very well, but
perhaps "and no language to think it
in" should be added. Let the reader
try for himself and see how much con-
secutive thought he can accomplish
without words, and if with his mind
trained Ey years Of intelligent thinking
he a do little until the words come,
let him imagine, If ne can, the state of
a mind cut off from language.-Mabel
E. Adams in Popular Science Monthly.

renny,on and His wife.

Tennyson was devoted to his wife,
but, like a man Of true taste, he wrote
very little about his feeling for her.
That beautiful dedication beginning,
"Dear, near and true" is that bit Of
his writing which will be most often
associated with her name. She was q
shrewd critic Of her husbands work.
Tennyson has been accused of inability
to fuse the different portions Of a long
poem, and the difference in style be-
tween THE Coming Of Arthur and
"The Passing Of Arthur" and the other
'.Idylls of the King has been cited in
illustration Concerning this difference
Lady Tennyson said TO her son only
two days before her death, lie said
THE Coming of Arthur and The Pass
ing of Arthur are purposely simpler in
style than the other idylls as dealing
with the awfulness of birth and death"
and she wished this statement of the
poet to be put on record in her sons
biography Of his father. New York

HON. L. T. 0ENUNO.

Hon. L. T. Genung of Hastings, demo-
cratic candidate for congress, made his
first appearance before an Audubon au-
dience Thursday afternoon at the demo-
cratic county convention. In spite Of
the unpleasant weather a good crowd,
filling the court room, greeted the speak
er. Mr.. Genung is an entertaining, tho
not pleasant speaker. He has long
had reputation as rare story teller,
and his speech was sufficient to keep
this reputation at par.
His address was, we suppose, a good
demo-populist speech. He followed the
usual lines OF argument set forth in the
published speeches of the leading free
coinage campaigners.
He announced that he was a democrat
and insisted that Hill, Whitney md
Villas were something else. He also in
formed the audience that he was con-
sistent, that he was Of the same mind
when he was in Audubon county two
years ago. That was right too. He
came here to line up the democrats of
this county for Weaver but the Audi
bon fellows failed to line, because, as one
of the leaders in this county said: "The
wheel horses of democracy believed that
fusion should not be tolerated, that $500
populists should not dictate to 1000
democrats" Oh yes, Genung is per
fectly consistent, at least as to his posi-
ton two years ago. Then the democrats
nominated Weaver. This year Weaver
welcomed the Iowa democrats to the
populist party.
Mr.. Genung's chief stock in trade
seems to be a calamity howl, and another
howl about the "crime of 49," and its
secrecy" and its conspiracy" etc.
He tells the farmers that they can not
stand another five years under the gold
standard like the past three years, say
ing nothing of the years from 1879 to
1893, during all of which time this
country was under the gold standard
and enjoying the best and most pros
porous times any nation ever had.
He took the usual shot at banks in
general, and at national banks in par
ticular and thought it an awful thing
that "two by six bankers" as he called
them, should take part in politics and
try to induce people to vote one way or
another. 1t is to be supposed that Mr..
Genung thinks it is all right for two by
twice lawyer to travel around over the
country asking people to vote for
Bryan and for Genung, but it is dread
full deed if some man engaged in the
banking business takes part in politics.
That speech of Candidate Genung
was a good thing for every republican
who heard it, and mgde every republican
stronger in the faith of the G. o. P.

All these forms of money have been
maintained by the government at par with
gold, and they travel the circle of the world
without diminution Of their purchasing
power. Though silver bullion has fallen
to nearly half it's former value yet wo
have used it and maintained silver coin
made from it at parity with gold at the
ratio of 16 to !.
Silver Monometallism Threatened.
But now we are brought face to face
with proposition which If agreed to will
make silver the sole standard of value for
all debts and credits, for the wages Of labor
and the purchase and sale Of property. The
Democratic party ut its recent convention
at Chicago adopted q resolution in favor Of
the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
parts of silver to l Of gold. We know
that in the United States and in all cou4-
tries in the werld 80 ounces or more Of sill
yer can be purchased by l ounce Of gold.
With the free coinage Of silver gold will be
demonetized. Nothing can be more Ger
tain than that the cheaper money only will
circulate The United States has thus far
maintained Its silver coins at parity with
gold coins only by its exclusive monopoly
Of coinage, and by limiting the amount,
but with free coinage Of silver there could
be no limitation. Silver bullion in every
form will be pressed upon the minis and
with the mandatory duty Of free coinage
silver dollars will soon I'LL the channels of
circulation and the gold dollar will be
boarded or will be quoted and sold as a
commodity at about 1914 cents of the silver
coin. Silver will stand as the par value
and gold will be quoted at its commercial
value.
Let us contemplate for awhile the inevi-
table result of the free coinage of silver even
if I repeat what say. 1t would violate
every contract for the payment of money
made since Jan. 1, 1879. The resumption

IN THE ENEMY'S COUNTRY.
Palmer and Buckner Get a Bad Re-
ceptfon In Mississippi.

ceptfOn in Mississippi.
NEW ORLEANS. La. Oct. 17-Gen Palmer
and Gen. Buckner arrived here at noon after
stopping along the gulf coast In Mississippi
to make brief speeches in the various towns
which are free silver strongholds, and when
they spoke unsympathetic crowds greeted
them. At Scranton they were met by g
party of sixteen little white maidens and one
bright yellow coiored tot, and by banners
bearing the device Free silver and prosper
ity."
Gen. Palmer said there were many laboring
under the same erroneous belief. Cutting
the dollar in half would not bring prosperity
nor would dangerous financial experiments
benefit the country. The reception at other
points was somewhat friendlier. At Ocean
Springs the train stopped again and speeches
were in order. The generals had little to
say here. Flowers for the ladies Of the party
were handed aboard by the ladies of the
Springs. A Mississippi sound money deiega-
ton accompanied the party to this city. A
reception committee awaited them here and
accompanied the party to the hotel. where
a reception was held In the afternoon. AT
night there was a mass meeting in the open
air, at which 5000 people were present. and
Charles F. Claiborne acting mayor OF the
city presided.
There were a large number of Bryanites
in the crowd, as well as some Mckinley
shouters, but after the first expression OF
rival enthusiasm, few remarks from Il. r.
Farrar quieted them. Gen. Buckner spoke
first, at his own request, in order to escape
Gen. Palmer's fattering Introduction, which
Buckner did not think appropriate in his own
South country. Gen. Buckner made a speech
of an hour. painting the old new for the
South, and showing that the sound money
plank was the trpe Democratic principle, and
for the best interests of the American people,
irrespective Of section or party.
Gen. Palmer closed the meeting with
speech on the money question, and made
good impression, although he could not be
heard from any great distance The crowd
asked him a number of questions, and he
answered them readily. He said that the
fact that the Chicago platform was regularly
adopted was not sufficient for Democrats who
did not conscientiousy believe in it to vote
for it, for the Democratic party was party
of principles, and not of men.

HOW RAMBUsCH OPERATED.
He Expunged Both County and Court
Records.

JUNEAU. Wis, Oct. 1z-Another small
sized sensation was created today by the
discovery of the means by which Rambusch
made erasures from the county records and
the further discovery that he had tempered
with the records of the circuit court as well
the register Of deeds records. This morn
ing q bottle and a sponge were found and
a trial showed that the liquid contained in
the bottle would wipe out ink marks. 1t
was evidently the liquid that he used to make
the erasures discovered some days ago in the
county records and the discovery leaves no
doubt Of Rambusch's guilt.
Up to this morning it was supposed. that
Rambusch confined his tinkering with the
records of the register of Deeds but it was
discovered that he made use Of the dupli-
cate key to the court house which he pos
sessed to visit the Office when nobody was
around and change the records there. That
disclosure is even more startling than the
others and there is no telling what mischief
he may have done.
During the day kilograms we're received
by the officials from Philadelphia, but they
decline to say anything of their contents. 1t
is believed that some track of the fugitive
has been obtained. The people who are in
vestigating Rambusch's affairs continue to
find defalcations. and it is said that today's
discoveries swell the total by several thou
sands of dollars, but such developments are
getting to be an old story and the finding
of another swindle of a few thousand dollars
does not create a sensation any longer
