TOOK TOO MUCH MORPHINE
Probably Fatal Experiment of a Salida
 Drug Clerk.

SALIDA, Colo, July 3.-Tonight James Coleman, who came to this place recently from Denver to act as pre- scription clerk for the Salida City Drug company, is lingering between life and death as a result of an over dose of morphine. Last night MT. Coleman, not feeling well, took a small dose of morphine to induce sleep. It did not produce the desired effect and about daylight he took another dose. It is supposed that he was slightly dazed and took more than he realized. At 5:20 Mrs. Coleman attempted to wake him up and found that he was unconscious. From that time until this writing physicians and friends have been exerting every means in their power to keep him awake. For hours it was necessary to induce arti- ficial respiration. The patient is al most dead from exhaustion, but some faint hope is entertained for his recov- ery

Nearly Two Thirds Are for Silver.
Old Time Rule May Not Be
 Abrogated.
Enough Delegates Are Expected to Join the Silver Forces After
 the First Ballot.

CHICAGO, July 3.-1t being under
 sod that the territories are to be al- lowed six votes each, and that the Dis trict of Columbia is to have six votes also, the total number of votes in the convention will be SIS, then 460 would be a majority and 612 two-thirds majority.
 Of these votes the silver men today claimed total of 596. The gold stand ard people are left on this basis with a total of 334 votes. In connection with these figures it will be noticed that the silver men lack but sixteen votes of having the necessary two-thirds to nominate; but they claim that eight votes counted for gold in Ohio will come to them after the temporary or ganization, while the Michigan votes are also expected.
 A decision upon the abrogation of the two-thirds vote on nomination may be deferred until after the temporary and permanent organization and until the convention is ready to nominate. Then unless the gold standard men recognize | the superiority of numbers and sue- ! cumb to the inevitable the silver men | will force the issue and rescind the | long standing rule
 l It has been determined, as far as can l be in an advance meeting of the Ma l tional committee, to select for tempo rary chairman some man not identified with the silver movement, although he may have leanings toward silver It is apparent from the talk of members they feel the National committee l eh po+ ho tod tf, h,ya a11f side organization.
 l Ben TT. Cable, member of Illinois, said he opposed having the Democratic National committee swerVe from the usual custom in selecting the tempo

Victor Baughm of Mary land, proxy for Senator Goruan on the National committee, said the National committee has the interests of the par ty too much at heart to ssven attempt to take unfair advanage at such an important juncture of the paTty's his- tory.

AN UNKNOWN SUICIDE.
A Young German Strangles Himself
 at Cheyenne

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 3.-An un- known stranger committed suicide in a Sixteenth street lodging house here this morning by hanging. The de- ceased engaged his room yesterday and was last seen alive at last evening. At noon today he failed to answer to a call and his room was unlocked. He was found in sitting position along side the bed, a red surcingle knotted about his neck and fastened over the headboard of the bed. Ashes of burned paper in the stove indicated that the suicide had deliberately destroyed all means of identification. The man was apparently a Germon about 30 years of age and neatly dressed and of general good appearance. His effects were an empty valise, silver watch and a leather money belt containing $20 in currency.

TELLER MEN AT WORK Delegates to Chicago
 Are Impressed. Bryan and Harris for the Pre-
 siding Officers. Teller the Only Man That All the
Teller the Only Man That All the Silver Forces Can Unite
 Upon.

CHICAGO, July 3.-In all probabil- ity Hon. w. J. Bryan Of Nebraska will be temporary chairman and Senator Harris permanent chairman of the Democratic convention. The choice has not been officially made, but can- vass of the situation which has been in progress ever since the first meet ing of the representative of the silver delegates last Monday has resulted in a general agreement upon the superior availability of these two for the re- spective places. Bryan is believed to especially meet the requirements an nounced from the first that the tenn porary chairman must be man who can present the issues of the campaign from free silver standpoint in way that will command the attention of the country and sound the keynote of the campaign. Harris is generally accept ed as the ideal man for permanent chairman. He is regarded as the best authority in the country in parlia- mentary laws.
 The silver bolters from the St. Louis convention are working like Trojans to impress upon the Democratic silver leaders the great advantage of Teller's nomination in solidifying all silver el- ements of the west, and are being warmly supported by Taubeneck, chairman of the Populists; Dr. Mott, secretary of the silver party, and rep resentatives of the independent silver clements generally. Taubeneck, as- suming to speak for the Populist de- clares emphatically that unless Teller is nominated, the Populist vote will, oe cast for the nominee selected by tle Populists. Judge McConnfNs has writ ten a strong letter to A geld advo- eating Teller's nomination and the sil- yer Republicans believe it will have an effect on Altgeld. -~

LEARNED CONTEMPLATING.
Bad Effect of Attending Court on an
 Oklahoma Farmer.

WICITA, Kan, July 3.-Walter N. Owens, prominent farmer of Okla homa, was sentenced yesterday to serve a term in the state penitentiary for counterfeiting. The case to some ex- tent is remarkable one Previous to his arrest he had always born a good reputation. Two years ago he was on the jury in the United States court here and tried counterfeiter. Dur ing the progress of the trial counter feiters' tools Iere exhibited and evi- dence introduced showing how false money is coined. Owens examined the tools closely and listened to the evil dence attentively. After the conclu- sion of the trial he went home and made counterfeit tools himself and proceeded to work. Owing to his good reputation he made and passed a great deal of spurious coin before he was de- tected.

PROFITABLE PLEASURE.

Phoenix has been accused of being deficient in places of amusement and perhaps justly so at one time, but not now since the park swimming baths have attained such a high state of ex- cellence. Under the direct manage ment of she street railway company this year the service and patronage have constantly improved. The water is kept always fresh by frequent changes, while the temperature is care fully maintained at the "just right" mark. Courteous employees are always in attendance and every care is given to bathers who may enjoy the luxury of a dip from early forenoon to late at night For either pleasure or profit or both no one can do better than to patronize the park swimming baths.

 "Just now it looks as if Bland or Boies were in the lead with Bland lit tie ahead if anything" said Senator Teller today when asked regarding the situation at Chicago. "I believe that the Democratic party will declare for silver at 16 to 1. The silver people are too much in earnest to allow a strad- dle. I do not think the gold Demo- crats will bolt the convention, but they will knife the ticket at the polls. The gold forces of the country will be unit in November"

ARRESTED FOR DEBT.

OMAHA, July 3.-The only arrest for debt in Nebraska the past twenty years was made today. Arthur Johnson, of this city, a contractor, who built the agricultural building at the world S fair, was arrested on an execution against his person issued on judg- ment for alimony obtained by his for mer wife, who charged him with con- cealing property. Johnson was taken before Judge Keysor, who permitted him to give bail in the sum of $1,OO0 The judge said it was the first case of the kind within his recollection, the impression being that the old statute had been repealed.

 we now have forty-four senators who are nominally Republicans, but of these five-Senators Teller, Dubois, Carter, Mantle and Cannon-refused to act with us in the passage of the Dingley emergency tariff last winter, and 1 suppose we must now add to them Senator Pettigrew of South Da- kota, because he left the St. Louis con- vention with other seceders. This re- duces us to thirty-eight straightout Republicans who are for protection as against protection yoked with free sill yer, and we shall need seven more to enable us to pass the revenue bill which the country demands.
 Some of our gains are already made as in Maryland and Ohio, and we shall elect in New York, Illinois and Wisconsin.

THE GOOD 1TMPLARS.

On Monday evening Garden Valley lodge will celebrate the glorious Fourth in it's hall. in a patriotic programme after the business of the session has been transacted There will be songs and reeitations and speeches appropri- ate to the occasion. The mem bers of this lodge will go out to the Creighton district tonight on hay rack to cele- brate with Unity lodge, which holds public meeting. Floral lodge from down the valley will also join, having adjourned for the occasion. Of course everybody will have good time. The "hay-seed" party will start from I. Q. G. T. hall about 7 o'clock and return when they get ready.
 The Minute social last Monday night was bowling success judging from the bowling that took place. Next time we think some of the members will be prepared to furnish entertain ment to the lodge instead of standing
 on the floor sixty long seconds We
 wonder why more of the leaders in
 church work do not take an interest in the lodge in Phoenix, as they do back in the United States. Our organization is the only one in the territory outside of the churches that is making an effort to reclaim the fallen and to save oth-
 CTS from falling, and it does seem that it should receive more help from the churches than it does.
 Garden Valley lodge has an excellent class of members, who take great in- terest in its work, but more good could be accomplished if more old heads | were present to plan and direct. The attendance last Monday night was fifty. CLEOPATRA.

The Chatham Record suggests that
on next Sunday every church in
Chatham county take up a collection
for the same good purpose. At those
churches where no services will be
held next Sunday it is suggested that
such a collection be taken on the first
Sunday when services are held. 1t is
earnestly hoped that all the pastors
and other officers of all the churches,
not only in Chatham, but in every
other county in the State, will act on
this suggestion. A very small con-
tribution from each church would re-
leye all suffering and send the widows
and orphans to their friends and rela-
tives.

GETTING WORSE AND WORSE.

The Houston, Texas, Post has drawn
a truthful and terrible picture of the
decadence in public morals in our great
cities, taking for it's text the expressed
admiration of the New York audiences
and New York papers in regard to
Yvette Guilbert and the naughty
French dance. The Post lays bare
the new fashion without reservation:
New York, a representative city,
has been tested, and found wanting
in bushes. New York has hitherto
worn for names sake a mantle--a very
thin mantle-of pruderyi Frohman
respected it; Palmer respected 1t;
DAILY thought it was there. Ham
merstcin put Yvette Guilbert upon the
stage; snatched off this thin mantle,
and New York said 'ahem,' and raised
it's opera glasses. American prudery,
if it exists at all except in fiction, lies
low.
The spectacle presented is that of
Il tail, rather angular French woman
who has succeeded in giving unmis-
taxable expressions 10y means of mean
ing looks, winks, facial gymnastics
and gestures, to every form of vice
and Partisan vice at that-that has
come within her cOgniZance. The
manager has hung up his pruning
knife. Everything now goes. New
York has swallowed Guilbert. An aW-
full question arises. New York has a
habit, when it approves of an attrac-
tive. delectabIe vice, OF asking for
more. Suppose GuiIbert should not
satiate? 1t means despair for Ham
merstein and others, for in Guilbert
they have struck bottom.
"Yvette Guilbert sings little French
songs and acts them as she sings. She
is dressed decorously, but she makes
up for that. Her songs are about
things that, if mentioned to the au-
dience at their homes, would lead to
somebody being kicked out of the
house. Delivered from the stage they
have the effect of gaining the widest
applause and highest approval. She
handles subjects that an associated
press dispatch would blush to be
caught relating, in manner compar-
ed with which n Midway dancers most
siren-like suggestiveness appears a.
bout as riotous as the smile of Bos-
ton school ma'am. The newspapers
print Guilbert's songs in French, and
explain that the English translation
is too utterly naughty to be given. To
prove this assertion they print the
English translation Immediately un-
der them"

A great New York paper is offering
a prize for the best answer to the ques-
ton, How far shall woman go dur
ing 1896 to encourage man to propose
marriage?" All replies will be use
less for practical purposes. Every
thing depends upon the individuals
concerned.

New Jersey is a good State for young
men who do not desire to get married
to keep away from this year. The
new State census shows that the
women greatly outnumber the men.
When the girls come to understand the
awful meaning of this fact they may
make up for the deficiency OF men by
extra personal efforts during the time
when ancient custom allows them to
propose.
For the first time in the history of
Colorado the gold output has exceeded
that of silver. The year 1895 showed
a wonderful increase in the gold ac-
count, while the figures on silver were
almost up to the record of 1894. In
'94 silver led gold in the mining race
by over So 900. Last year gold
jumped up to $17,340,495, and silver
remained almost stationary with
credit of $14,259,049.
