Bob's reportorial instincts took live
~ turn. --- ,.
"Who was hep" he asked.
"Jim Smith"
"Man of any prominence"
you bet he was. Owned half the

"Wealthy?"
Somewhat" menningly.

What induced the act?"
Can't tell you any more. Jest adj
wise you to keep clear o. Jack Doolan's

penalty. Good day, stranger"
But Bob was not to be frightened into
abandoning his trip; besides, here was
scoop for the Meteor, and the value of
scoop IT, that enterprising sheet was not
to be ignored. Bob resolved to go on and
trust to luck and his own adroitness
to save his neck. The stranger had
shown too much anxiety for his pence
full departure for him to give full
credence to the story, and before Bob
had ridden a mile he had thoroughly
convinced himself that he had con-
versed with the real murderer-pro-
vided- that the whole thing was not a
fake-and that by continuing his jour
ney he would be the means of the cap
ture and punishment of the escaping
criminal.
Another mile and he came to camp;
that part of the travellers information
was correct, at least, and inquiry quick
ly proved that 1t was Jack Doolan's.
Contrary to his expectations, Bob met
with an hospitable reception, without
any suggestion of suspicion. True, jim
Smith was murdered there that morn
ing, but Jim Smiths murderer had al
ready been apprehended, and from the
bootless feet Bob discovered dangling
in the breeze back of the camp, had evil
IDENTITY met with lofty treatment. At
any rate, some one had paid the pen
atty, and Bob had nothing to fear.
II made great story for the Meteor
Being on the ground Bob got all the de-
tails, and they needed no embellishing
He did not rest until he had the story
on the wires, though IL necessitated an
extra ten miles on horseback to jim
town. the nearest telegraph station.

The prisoner felt the rope slipping
towards his chin. Already the other
end was over a limb of the tree under
which he lay. He set his teeth firmly,
threw out his arms in final, desperate,
almost unconscious, struggle-then it
was over.
The Meteor went to press early. The
FREELY and Rocket held open late for
further particulars of mysterious
lynching that occurred in the Rocky
canyon district the previous night. The
Meteor knew nothing of the event until
the rival papers announced in loaded
lines that another horrible criIae had
been committed in the celebrated Rocky
canyon. a gentleman, whose narue had
not been ascertained, but WHO was
thought to be government official, had
been found by members of Jack Doolan's
mining camp hanging tn tree several
miles from Jimtown. Indications point

perpetrators of the deed.

STATE PRESS SENTIMENT.

There is no position on the state
ticket. next to that of governor. of
more importance to the taxpayers
than of auditor general. Among
/. those named for his nomination
none is more compctant or more
worthy than Hon. O. C. Tdmpkins.
The affairs of that Office have been
most ably and efficiently handled by
the present incumbent, Hon. Stan
ley w. Turner, who. in giving his
personal attention to the duties of
the position, has met all the require
mcnts, and more courteous and
accomplished body of assistants was
never called into the service of any
state official. Among these there
is none more compctam or more
worthy than Mr.. Tompkins, He
would make worthy successor to
the present chief. He is an expert
accountant, experienced in the du-
ties of the Office, urbine, considerable
of others, exact in his methods, at
tcntive to details, conscientious and
competent. He would be servant
of the people and would not imagine
that he owned them when vested
with little brief authority. The
auditor general S Office, so well ad-
ministered now, could not fall into
better hands than those of Hon. o.
c. Tompkins. -Ionia Sentinel.
Mr.. Tompkins will certainly receive
the nomination, and will be the
next auditor general.

SIXTEEN TO ONE.

A great many people are in the
dark concerning the meaning OF six
teen to one as il is contained in the
Chicago platform. Numberless
definitions have appeared in the
papers. but none of them states the
case more clearly than the follow
ing;
A silver dollar weighs about six
teen times as much as gold dollar.
When the ratio was established for
the coinage of gold and silver it APP
proximately represented the market
value of the two metals. An ounce
of gold was worth about sixteen
times as much as an ounce Of silver.
Under our law whoever owns gold
bullion can take il to the mint and
have il made into coin without any
cost to him. That is free coinage of
gold. The goll thus coined is worth
IA dollar, irrespective of the stamp,
all over the world. The silver men
demand that we shall do the same
thing for silver. without any change
of ratio-that is to say, that every
owner of silver bullion shall be per-
mitted TO take it 10 the mint and
have every fifty-seven cents worth
of it stamped as dollar, though it
would be worth only its bullion
value ffty-seven cents-outside the
United States.
That is what free coinage at six
teen to one means. SAUL Ste.
