folly to think she would ever give her
consent to the marriage of her grandson
in-law SO soon after the death of her
treasure.
The story the neighbors tell, and they
told it under oath before the Grand Jury,
is that Saturday afternoon after the death
of his wife Paul was with Grandma
Dulin. They talked about the death Of
his wife and how lonesome he would be
without her. The noon hour came and the
old lady, feeble as she was, moved herself
around and prepared dinner for the two.'
Paul was with her in the kitchen and she
had his sympathy. They partook of the,
meal. "Jim, this tea doesn't taste right"
she said. "There is bitter taste to it
that 1 don't like. can't drink any more
of t." She had only finished half of the
cup, but two days afterward she died in
spasms. Paul's arrest followed. and then
commenced the unraveling of the chain
of circumstances which makes the outlooh
gloomy for the accused. He was brought
to the Webster City Jail. where he has
since maintained discreet silence. He

GOLD MINES SEIZED.
Canadian Surveyors Arrange to Com
fiscate Alaska Fields.

fScatG Alaska Fields.
Interest has been aroused at the State
Department by the recent action of Cana
dian Government surveyors in so locating
the one hundred and forty-tirst meridian
as to throw 300 gold mines into Canadian
territory. This is likely at any time to
precipitate such conflict of authority az
cannot be ignored by the Governments of
the United States and Great Britain.
These mines are now operated by Amer
leans, thousands of whom have gone to
the Alaskan fields since the discovery of
gold. The miners will not readily submit
to the rules and regulations prescribed by
the Canadian mounted police. The Off
cials of the State Department do not in
any degree recognize the survey. A con-
vention, joint committee and treaty will
be required before this Government can
acknowledge that the work has been per-
formed. Negotiations are now pending
with Great Britain for u convention to
have joint commission of astronomers
appointed to survey and locate the one
hundred and forty-irst meridian from
Mount ST. Elias to the northern limit.
The expectation prevails that in view of
threatened disturbances. which may ne
cessitate the sending of troops by both
Governments to that region. the pending
negotiations OIL the subject will be press.

WANT SILVER DOLLARS.
Treasury oaacial. Receive . Large
Number of ReQuests Daily.

Number Of ReQuests Daily.
A Washington correspondent says that
the treasury officials are in daily receipt
of q large number of reQuests asking tor
silver dollars of this years coinage In e1-
change for silver certificates or other law
full money. Many Of these requests come
from persons who seem to doubt the truth
of the monthly coinage statement, while
others ask for shipments Of 1896 dollars
with view to refuting statements that
no silver dollars are now being coined.
These requests have been complied with
as fast as received, and the treasury Off
cials desire to call public attention to the
fact that when silver dollars are ordered
in sums of or multiples Of $500 they are
shipped at the expense Of the Govern
ment, but when smaller sums are or.
dered, the shipments are made ut the ex-
pense of the person ordering.
There is now in the treasury $40, ,606,-
390 in free silver, that is, silver which
may be obtained in exchange for any
lawful money, but the demand just now
10 30 keen for 1895 dollars that it seems
probable that by the beginning Of October
the department will be compelled to de-,
cline to pay out silver dollars. except in:
exchange for silver certificates or treas:
ury notes of 1890.
The law requires certain amounts Of,
silver to be held in the treasury to cover
outstanding silver certificates and treas
ury notes. and when the minimum IL!
reached silver payments would be re-
fused even in exchange for gold or in pay
ment of warrants on the treasury.
The number of standard silver dollars
coincd last August is shown by the off,
cial statement to have been 1850, 600;
sin. Feb. last, $11, ,212,412, and since
November, 1893. SIS. ,491. The COIN
age value of the silver bullion now on
hand and on which the mints are now at
work is $166, 745.2OO, and it is said to be
altogether probable that coinage will be
continued at least until the stock on hand
of standard dollars of 1890 has been
increased to about $3O,OOOOOO, where IL
stood when the present administration
went into Office.

Would Debauch the Courts.

1t assails the judicial monuments reared
by the Constitution for the defense of indi-
vidual rights and the public welfare, and it
even threatens to destroy the integrity Of
the Supreme Court. which has been consid-
cred the last refuge Of the citizen against
every form Of Outrage and injustice.
In the face Of the serious peril which these
propositions embody, 1t would seem that
there could be but one sentiment among
right-thinking citizens as to the duty of the
hour. All men, of whatever party. who be-
lieve in law, and have some regard for the
sacredness of individual and institutional
rights, must unite III defense Of the endan-
gered interests OF the nation.
While the financial issue which has been
thus considered. and which has come, as the
result of the agitation Of recent years. to
occupy peculiar conspicuousness, Is ad-
mittedly OF primary Importance. there is
another question which must command care
full and serious attention. Our financial and
business condition is ut this moment one of
almost unprecedented depression. Our great
Industrial system is seriously paralyzed. Pro,
duction In many important branches Of man
ufacture has altogether ceased. Capital Is
without remunerative employment. Labor
