An Interesting Case,

District court is the scene of an in
teresting case this week. 1t is a suit
for damages brought by Mrs. Julia
Harris of Guelph township, against
VIM. Weekly, A, H. Kincaid, S. L.
Jones, B. F. Wicker, Robt. Thorpe.
Mrs. Harris claims that she has been
damaged by malicious prosecution.
She was arrested and tried one year
ago for disturbing church services, but
was acquitted. She now alleges that
this prosecution was malicious, that
these gentlemen formed a conspiracy
to damage her character and prays a
Judgment Of $1,000 for said damage.
About 40 or 50 witnesses have been
snbpened, and the trial will run
pretty much all week. 1t grows out

Simpson-Long Debate.

The committees have finally agreed
that the joint discussion between
Jerry Simpson and Chester l. Long
shall be held on the commons north
of the wigwam. Seats will be pro.
vided for about 5000 people. There
will undoubtedly be an immense
crowd here. 1t is hard to find a man
who is not coming to the debate. 1t

next Saturday than have ever been
here before or will ever be here again
soon.
The committees of the two parties
have agreed that during the debate
there shall be no Kissing or other
manifestations of diSapproval, and

asked, comments or other interrup.

those on the platform. 1t has also
been agreed that there shall be no
parades or other public
demonstrations during the day in the
city, by any political party, and that
no other political meeting at which
political speeches are delivered shall
be held in Wellington on said date.
1t is further agreed that there shall
be 70 brass bands, glee Clubs or other
music. No banners, mottos or horn
blowing will be allowed on the
grounds.

for the speakers, their friends,
accompanying them, the presiding
officer, the members of the congress
siOnal committee, the chairmen and
secretaries of the county committees,
editors and reporters Of associated
press newspapers. No other PERSONS

San Diego, Cal, Sept. l7.-Jesse R.
Grant, youngest son of the late presi.

letter containing the reason for his
recent declaration that be had left
the Republican party to join the Pop
ulists. This letter is fac-simile copy
of one which was mailed today to Mr..
Grants father-in-law, W. S. Chapman
of San Francisco. 1t is in part as fol-
lows:
Having lately had aspirations to
the United States senate, | had been
in conversation with friends aud ac-
quaintanceS as to what chance | had
of success, aud what course to pursue
to attain that end. l had been a Re.
publican for years, but the matter was
thus brought seriously before me that
| was declared from the Republican
party by reason o. my convictions,
both upon the silver question and the
government ownership of the rail-
roads aud telegraph lines, and finding
that the platform of the Peoples Par
tycame nearest to coinciding with my
views as the wisest course to be pur-
sued by the United States senate, l
took tie occasion at recent conven-
Lion OF my party to announce my al
iegiance TO its principles.

Vim. Swan Shoots Himself in Seven.
ty-Six Township B." >


The community surrounding Seven
ty-Six center school house were start
led Sunday afternoon by the report
taat Nm. Swan had committed sui.
eide.
VIM. Swan is son Of J. NJ. Swan,
who lives half mile north Of Seven
ty-Six center. He was 3S years of age
and unmarried. He was just recover
ing from a siege of typhoid fever.
He was in Wellington last Thursday
aud purchased some medicine. He
had taken cold aud was threatened
with relapse.
About o'clock Sunday morning
he arose and left the house. His
folks thought nothing strange until
he had been gone some time. Then
they became uneasy, and went out to
look for him. At daylight theySwere
Joined by neighbOrs and followed a
trail to a point south of Wellington
were they lost it.
Swan left in his stocking feet, and
the trail had every appearance of
having been made by man without
shoes.
The superstition was that William
had become temporarily deranged
from his sickness aud was wandering
away from home.
Discouraged at not finding him
they returned and made a search of
the premises. About p. m. they
found him lying dead in the corn
field about 100 yards west of the
house. He had a SO calibre Reming-
ton SiX-ShOoter in his hand, with
which he had shot himself in the top
OF the forehead.
he had the appearance Of having
died instantly. His arm was curved
just as he would have held it to have
pulled the trigger with the muzzle
against his forehead.
After he was found his sister re-
membered of having heard gun shot
before daylight in the morning.
The Coroner and County Attorney
we're sent for; Sheriff Heskett and
County Attorney Woods went to the
scene of the suicide at once. The
evidence was so plain that he had kill
ed himself that they decided an
inquest was unnecessary. His tracks
showed that as he went out in the
cOrnfeld he stopped every few rods to
see if anyone was following. Then
he would dodge three or four rows
and 60 on.
Sheriff HeSkett brought the revol-
yer to town which dill the fatal
work. 1t had five loads and one
empty chamber. Swan had traded
for it few days before from George
johnson.
The funeral took place Monday

BISMARCK THINKS 1T WISE.
Thinks He'd Like to See the United States
Try Free Silver On

Dallas, Tex, Sept. 19.-In a speech
here tonight Governor Culberson read
the following significant correspond
ence between himself and Prince
Bismarck on the money question:
prince Bismarck-Dear Sir: The
great question of finance is now of
supreme interest to the people Of
the United States. 1t is presented
in various forms but in a general
way it may be said TO be:
First, whether the United States
shall adopt the single gold standard;
or, second, whether they shall adopt
bimetallism, with gold and silver as
the standard, or primary, money.
The argument In favor OF each is well
known to you, but it is insisted that
we should adopt the policy of bimet-
allism because the supply of gold Of
the world for coinage is insufficient to
meet the demand, and because such a
standard will still further depress the
values OF all property.
(Which, in your judgment, is the
best policy to adopt, the gold stand
ard or bimetalliSm, giving your
reasons?
what effect. 10 your Judgment,
would the immediate adoption of
bimetallism by the United States
have on the cause of bimetallsm in
Germany aud other great commercial
nations?
(Signed. sc. CULBERsON.
Governor or Texas"
In reply, Prince Bismarck said:
FREDERICKSBURG, Aug. "a. 1895.
"Honored Sir: Your esteemed
favor has been duly received. | hold
that this is the very hour that it
would be advisable to bring about
between the nations chiefly engaged
in the worlds commerce, a mutual
agreement in favor Of the establish
ment Of bimetallism. The United
States are freer by far in their move.
ments than any nation Of Europe,
and hence, if the peopleOf the United
States should find it compatible with
their interests to take Independent
action in the direction of Dimetallism,
l can but believe that such action
would exert a most salutary influence
upon the consummation of an inter-
national agreement.
