column indicated for that purpose, and
also write in the column indicated for
that purpose, the cause of his disaffec-
ton from his former political party.
Now, 1 will repeat; first, make a
straight mark in the column indicat-
ing what his former political party
was; if he is an old soldier indicate the
same by making straight mark in

1T OPENS EYES,
An Attempt to Collect a Gold Mort
gage in Missouri.


Mansfield, No, Aug. Am incident
occurred here yesterday which caused
the farmers to scratch their heads and
study as they have never done before.
A foreign loan company with local Off
ces at Springfield, this state, held
mortgage on a farm near here. The
mortgage fell due recently and the
agent came down and demanded pay
ment in gold. AS the mortgage read
payable in gold,'' the mortgage was
made to believe that nothing but gold
would suffice.
AS not enough gold could be found in
town to satisfy the Indebtedness the
farmer was advised to make a tender in
silver dollars and such other legal ten
der money as could be had at the
banks. This was done, but the offer
was refused. The only alternative left
was to find the gold, which was done by
making a trip to Springfield of over
fifty miles. This is the first incident
which has occurred here showing the
practical workings of a gold standard
system as now in force in the United
States.
A great many had read of like occur
rences elsewhere, but this incident right
here in their homes has already caused
many persons who were formerly gold
standard advocates to change their po-
sitiOn and come out unqualifiedly for
free silver.

Although Morrill, Appointees Led and
Won the Fight at Wichita.

Wichita, Aug. 4.-The hottest pri-
mary election in the history of Wich-

from any quarrels, although trouble
was feared. The heat of the fight was
on district clerk. S. N. Bridgeman,
who beat Mayor L. NJ. Cox, carrying
all the wards in the city but the Third
1t is probable that at least three of the
wards will be contested.
The delegation to the state conven-
ton, judging from the result of the
fight, will be for S r. Peters for gov
ernOr, although it is claimed and pre-
dicted they will vote for the renomina-
ton of Morrill,. At least, Mr.. MORRILL,
appointees in the police department
led and won the fight.

The man was nearly wild.
He could not contain himself.
1t seemed an outrage to him that he
should have paid so much money, and then
that he should be obliged to part with
what he had bought.
Others around him were happy and for
getful of care.
Some pitied him.
There were not few who Stunned him.
Another two or three minutes of almost
iatolerable torture, during which he cared
not whether he lived or died, and then he
looked up.
He saw nothing but an expense.
The same in front, behind and on both
sides.
Nothing to relieve the eye.
AS a matter of fact, it was not for the
eye that he sought relief, but even that
would have been something.
1t exasperated him to see his fellow pas
sengers preserve their equilibrium and
health.
As for him, he leaned once more over
the side Of the ship.
1t was his first voyage.
Truly, he could not contain himself

PRAISE FOR BRYAN.

Ex-Gov. Crittenden Entreats General
Shelby to Support Chicago Ticket
Kansas City, Aug 4-United States
Marshal J. o. Shelby recently wrote a
letter to Colonel Corey of Fayetteville,
Ark. in which he declared his inten-
ton to bolt the Democratic ticket. The
Times today prints an open letter to
General Shelby from Ex-Governor
Thomas T. Crittenden, United States
consul general to Mexico, who writes
from Mexico City:
Il am not in full sympathy with the
16 to ratio" says Mr.. Crittenden, my
life here having somewhat modified my
views on that question; although there
are many countries in worse financial
conditions than free silver Mexico"
Mr.. Crittenden goes on to say that he
is not altogether satisfied with the Chi
cago platform, and he condemns the
abuse of President Cleveland in the
Chicago convention, but he speaks in
the highest praise of Mr.. Bryan, as "a
tried, true, patriotic and honest man, -
and urges General Shelby and other
Missouri Democrats to remember the
principles of their party. Speaking of
the majority in the convention he says:
They believe in the virtue of silver,
al a TaIlO OF 10 70 L, anu since they con-
stituted a majority they had a right
to control. That is Democratic and We
should take our medicine like good
soldiers and partisans."
Ex-Governor Crfttenden refers to
General Shelby as a friend of forty
years standing and says to the ex-con-
federate: zone time you wandered off
for four years after a dream and after a
shadow, under the nobIest impulse that
ever inspired a brave, true man, and
now let me entreat you not to wander
again into the wilderness of unrest and
uncertainty for four years.

HOW THE STORY STARTED
That DR.. Hamilton was Against the
Bridge, Which is Untrue.

DR.. Hamilton said he never had a
thought of enjoining= the building of the
new Melan bridge and the people who
started the report We're mistaken.
The information first reached a Jour
nal representative through Police Com
missioner A. K. Rodgers, who gave T.
G. Shillinglaw as his authority. Mr.
ShilIinglaW confirmed the report but
said he had not seen the remonstrance.
An effort was made to find DR.. Hamil-
ton, but he was not to be found
Mr.. Shillinglaw said today: Il am
sorry that the report was started if it
is not true. would not have repeated
it if I had not thought it was true. 1
heard the story from Mr.. Landfs the
fruit man next door, and I understood
he saw the remOnstrance."
Mr.. Lands said he had not seen the
remonstrance, but had heard that such
a paper was being circulated.
DR.. Hamilton is indignant at the re-
port. Il never thought of such thing"
said he. I want to see a bridge built.
I am a friend of Topeka and want to
see everything done that will help the
city. I have done all I could to help
Topeka and I would not now try to
throw water on the bridge or anything
else in the way of progress
