MRS. MANNING Is NOT GUILTY
So Her Neigbbors Think and She IL Re
leased at Once.

Guthrie, o. T., Aug. 2s-The Capital
says: In the preliminary examination
at Crescent City, Grover Huntley was
discharged Of the charge Of the murder
of Dell Manning, who was so mysterious
ly shot at hi ahome. There was not
enough proof present to implicate him,
although the neighbors still think him
guilty.
Mrs. Manning was released without
a trial and the neighbors think her per-
fectly innocent of being implicated in
her husbands murder. She IL said to
have been a loving wife, and her hus-
bands mother, who lived with her, tes-
titled to that fact, and they say also his
two brothers Gnover Huntley. II is
said might have been infatuated with
her on his own account without her
realizing the fact or its seriousness.
He is said to be a religious fanatic.
Mrs Manning left for Kansas this morn
ing. The murderer, whoever he Is, is
still at large.

ASSAULTED BY THREE MEN
Robbers Who Took Revenge for Not Bein z

Ottumwa, Ia, Aug. 2S.-Three men

and bound and gagged Warmers daugh-
ter, Nellie, 20 years old, who was alone
I'M the house. They found nothing and
got angry. Each one Of the three men
consummated an assault upon the girl
and left her bound and gagged. She
managed to loosen the ropes, released
herself and went to the house Of q neigh
Dor, where She fell unconscious. A
posse Of 300 under Sheriff Black OF JEFF
fer>on county started in pursuit and
caught three men believed to be the
ones wanted, at BIadensburg. With
difficulty the sheriff protected the pris-
oners and got them safely in Jail at
Fairfield The girl is In a critical con-
diton. She Is not able to identify the
men If the angry farmers were sure
the prisoners were the parties wanted
the three men would surely be lynched.
Later reports say circumstantial evil
dence is accommodating against the men,
and indications are strong that they
will be summarily dealt with. The
three men are strangers, well dressed
and Travelled in a buggy with q team.
They refuse to give names.

GOLD STILL COMES
BIG WADS OF THE YELLOW METAL
ARE LEAVING ENGLAND.

Much Diversity Of Opinion Among the

1T is Raising the Price of Money Ap-
preciAbIy.
New York, Aug. ga special to the
Evening Post from London says: There
win be further heavy Withdrawals or
gold this afternoon from the Bank of
England for America The bank has
raised its selling price for bar gold
TO a S. HID. Money rates are rising
here, which. if continued, may have
some influence on prices Of stocks. A
quarter Of million pounds sterling
will go by the American line tomorrow,
while between 100000 and $500. oo0--per-
haDs more will go by the Campania.
TO PERMIT EXPLORATIONS
London, Aug 2S.---The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon says that the
Bank OF England is beginning to feel
the gold Withdrawals and therefore re-
duced the price of eagles and raised the
price of bar gold with the object of in
ducing shippers to take eagles.
The paper mentioned adds that IL
is probable, however. that the bank will
be forced to further raise the price OF
bar gold in order to retain 1t, but the
newspaper further states that IL Is
likely enough that gould would be with
drawn to cause a rise in the banks
rate Of discount. With gold at the pres
ent figure, it is further stated, it IS
probable that the bank will permit
a further withdrawal of seven and even
ten millions before taking protective
measures.
SYS 1T IS NATURAL.
Washington, Aug. 2S.->-A telegram
received at the treasury department
from the sub-treasury at New York
states that the firm of Lazard Freres
today deposited 100000 in gold coin
in exchange for United States notes 1t
is stated at the department that the
continued expectation of gold has result
ted in a considerable contraction in
the circulation in this country and that
gold importations profitable. The de-
mands for currency are coming largely
from the west and 1T is the general opin-
ion in official circles that the present
movement of gold to this country is
perfectly legitimate and natural and
will result in recouping the reserve in
the treasury and at the same time relax
the money stringency.

The distinguished traveller chatted for

DEMOCRATS MUST ORGANIZE.

IN some of the counties of this state
the Democratic party is without that close
and compact organization that is essential
to party success at the polls. 1t is i'm
possible to completely martial an army
unless every soldier is known. 1t is true
that changes from plutocracy to the ranks
of the party Of the people have been so
rapid and frequent that there would
necessarily have to be frequent changes
made in any poll of the voters, but it is
very important that the secretary Of every
county committee should be constantly
advised Of these changes.
There is no use to disguise the fact that
the Republican organization in this state
is more complete today than ever before,
and it will be so maintained The Demo-
Gratis can learn valuable lesson from the
enemy in this regard. There is no need
for any county committee to wait upon
the state committee or any other body.
Each county committee will he held re-
sponsible for its work and for the part 1t
takes in the fight, and eaoh committee
should see that a good report III made.
Much of the work in the campaign must
be done by Democrats who are willing to
work for the good of the cause. The
money in this campaign is on the other
side--the trusts and corporations have no
use for the Democracy in this campaign.
But there are enough of the honest,
conscientious masses who will do the
necessary work Let there be silver
club organized in every county and town
ship In the state.

WARRINGTON GUEST.

The death Of Washington Guest re-
moves another old landmark In Stark
county. For nearly seventy-seven year:
he lived in one township, In one neighbor
hood and on one place. In fact, he died
substantially on the same spot that he
was born. He was an honest, industrious
intelligent and useful man. Industry
was hi, guiding star, and the fine farm
he owned Pike in township eloquently
testlfies TO his thrift and economy. He
was an eloquent msn-not in words, but
in deeds. He was of an extremely
charitable disposition. No man was ever
turned away from his door cold OF
hungry. He no doubt had bis faults, but
where is the man without themP He
lived In Stark county ali his life, and
against his character for honesty and fair
dealings, suspicion never dared to breathe.
His death is an irreparable loss to hi,
community.

ONE WAY To CHECK GOLD EX.
PORTS.

There is only one way to prevent the
continued export Of gold, and the ulti.
mate, and not far distant, suspension OF
gold payments, and that is to check the
depreciation of the things that go to pay
debts. The spectacle of the New York
bankers and others striving to postpone
unit! after the election the export of gold
and defer another bond issue, is not a
strange one. Bent on securing the cleo.

to derive unearned profits through the
appreciation of gold, which adds to the
burden of all debtors and consequently
