the latter sailed for Spain. The death
of General Ochando's nephew, who was
q lieutenant IN the Spanish army. was
the cause Of the trouble. There were
ugly umor il circulation rejecting III
the young lieutenant. who was accused
of conducting a reasonable correspond
ence with Maxine Gomez, the insur.
gent chief. When Weyler heard of the
rumors he summoned the young mar
to the palace aud questioned him.
Weyler was apparently satisfied of the
young mans suilt and told him that if
he did not commit suicide in "A hours

his room, and i'll six hours was a corpse,

Shot Himself Through the Heart.
The affair was hushed up and the Span
ish official report said the young man
died of yellow fever. Shortly after
wards General OchandO arrived in
Havana and learned the true story of
his nephew's death. He was greatly
enraged. He Immediately went to the
palace to call Weyler to account. The
meeting of the generals was most SELL
~sational. Ochando denounced Weyler
in the bitterest terms, alleging that the
lieutenant was guiltlcss and had been
driven to his death. Ochando termed
Weyler a murderer and butcher and
challenged him to q duel. The men
drew swords and would have fought in
the palace but for the interference of
other officials. Two days later General
Ochando sailed for Spain. He is greatly
enraged and says he will make the
affair public when he reaches Spain and
demand Weyler's recall.

HINTsFoR THE HOME LAUNDRY.

The difficulty experienced by house
keepers generally in having washing
done at home causes many who can i'll
afford the expense to send their clothes
to laundries, where inferior soap and
injurious washing fluids are used,
while if proper attention is given the
work it may be done quite as satisfac-
torily in the home laundry.
Assert the clothes, divide the table
and bed linen from the wearing apparel,
and the fine garments from the colored.
First immerse the white articles in
hot water and wash carefully with
Ivory soap. After all are taken through
the suds, put in a tub, pour boiling wa
ter over them, let cool, wash out in clear
water, rinse in blue water, wiring,
starch and hang the line. The col
ored clothes should then be washed
il the same way, without scalding-
When all are dry they should be taken
from the line. sprinkled, folded evenly
and laid in the clothes basket The
ironing must be done with hot, clean
irons, and the clothes hung up to air.

Railroads Refuse Grain Shipments to Gall
weston and other Points.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Sept. s.-Reports
have been coming for some days of a
grain blockade at New Orleans and
Galveston and yesterday the situation
took a more serious turn. The NJ, K
& T. railway gave notice that it would
sign for no more grain for Galveston
until further notice, with the state
ment that it now had 900 cars of grain
on its tracks in and about Galveston,
and it is said the Santa Fe road
has 500 cars more, making 1,7oO
cars in all. And it is under
stood that they are all big cars,
loaded 1000 bushels to the car,
which would make 1,7OO, 600 bushels
awaiting export. New Orleans is also
suffering from a rush of grain. and
has for the past week been unable to
handle its receipts. This is serious
matter for the west as well as the
south, as it closes the southern mar
kets to US until the blockade is re-
moved. If the Gulf ports expect to
handle the western grain trade they
must prepare for it

Failure of the Elliott Paper Firm Of
PHILADELPHIA.

The old paper house of A. G. Elliott &
Co., of Philadelphia, has passed under
the juggernaut of the the gold standard,
sacrifice to appease the greed of the
gold trust that nothing can satisfy.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has suspended all construction on the
main line. The goldbug press charge the
Chicago convention with the stoppage.
The Company know better. 1t is the
scarcity of money among the people
They are not able to pay fares and
freights, and cars run empty. The Chi.
cago convention did not make them have
less money in their pockets. Ifthere was
such a calamity as the election of McKin-
ley, railroads will not only suspend new
work but the greater part of them would
go into the hands of receivers. They
cannot survive a money famine among
the people. That is what's the matter
The railroad management and great
firms that are breaking up every week
and going into the hands of receivers
know this, but what can they do but grin
and bear it till the people come to their
rescue? If they resist the money trust
will throttle them instantly.

An Editor in a Box.

The editor of the Vest Gr00e Mdeben
dent quotes paragraph from the MID
LAND JOURNAL in relation to the influ
ence of free coinage OH Building an(
Loan Associations, which appears to have
puzzled him so that he wrote to Mr.. w
H. Collect at Knoxville, secretary ant
general manager of the Southern" B.
L. Association.
The pith of Mr.. Collects reply is con
tanned in the following sentence,
eve have no desire to cash our stock
in any other way than by paying money
therefor which is worth 100 cents to the
dollar
The following contains the pith of the
quotation from the MIDLAND JOURNAL.
''What ever tends to the general pros
perity of the country rebounds to the
advantage OF depositors in Savings Bank:
and Building and Loan Associations
General prosperity is shared in by every
honest enterprise"
Between the two the Independent mar
confesses he is sorely puzzled, gives it VI
i'll despair and exclains,
"Here are two statements-one from {
silverite and the other from gold stan
dard-but we defy any one to point out {
line of logic i'll either. They simply
make assertions, but advance no argu
ment leaving the reader to draw his ow1
deductions"
Sitting on the fence at this stage of the
battle, there is no doubt our IndePenden
friend feels uncomfortable. It was no
necessary for either the MIDLAND JOUR
MAI. or Mr.. Collect to resort to '1ogic'
when they had two plain facts to state
The secretary of the Building and Loar
Association says he desires to pay the
associations stock in "money which i:
worth 100 cents to the dollar" which i:
all right.
The MIDLAND JOURNAL says whatever
tends to the general prosperity etc, bene
fits all. There is no logic required tc
prove that. 1t is simple fact Sucl
condition will enable the association te
pay 100 cents to the dollar. That the
free coinage of silver would produce
general prosperity, as compared with ex
listing conditions. has been proven by the
free coinage champions most conclusively
by comparing conditions, by statistic:
and by the most convincing logic. Theil
arguments have not been answered, bu
persistently avoided. That the editor O
the INDEPENDENT does not know these
facts is his own fault. He could have
known. And like the five foolish virgins
he has been slumberiug and sleeping til
now when the cry is heard the bridegroom
cometh he is in search CT OIL to light hr
lamp, and he had better be warned by the
fate of the foolish virgins and hurry up
