"Silver and wheat fall together" has
been the hobby argument of Bryan and
followers like Riley, Eddy, etc, for the
past two months. We have been told
in the popocrat speeches in our city how
'dear dollars mean cheap wheat" And
the only medicine that could restore the
price Of wheat, said these demo-pop
physicians, was the free coinage of sill
yer at the government minis. When
this kind of reasoning was started back
in August by Mr. Bryan, the price of sill
Yer was 6S8 cents, of wheat IS cents.
On October 10Th the price of silver had
fallen to 65B cents and the price of wheat
advanced to IS cents. The bottom has
fallen clear out of this wheat and silver
argument. III fact rise in prices in
nearly all agricultural products has
taken place and silver has not had the
slightest part in the boom. Evidently
these free silver doctors prescribed
quack doses that didn't even hold good
until filled. Riley in his recent speech
spent much time advancing this mis-
taken notion, but silence is golden
among them now.

MAY BE CONDEMNED.
The Board of Health Will Take Ac
tion on the Hog Ranches
To-Day.

At special meeting OF the Board of
Health to be held to-day the most impor-
tant question to be discussed will be the
hog ranches which have caused SO much
complaint among the residents of the Bay
View, Excelsior and Spring Valley home
steads. It is not improbable that some of
the most odorous and filthy of them VIII
be condemned as public nuisances and or
dered closed or removed.
The board partially decided to take this
action some time ago, but concluded to ask
the Supervisors to extend the hog limits
SO as to include the tracts mentioned and
thus settle the matter.
The Supervisors when the subject came
up for action failed to agree on a time
when a regulation that was drawn up
should go into effect and the matter was
dropped, when a tie vote, at last Mondays
meeting. lost the friends of the protesting
property-owners the opportunity of NOV
ing the ranches.
The members of the Board of Health
are unanimous in the belief that the
ranches are nuisance and unless those
who conduct them can show some very
valid reason why action should be deferred
the law that gives the board the power to
condemn obnoxious habitations or .nui
sances will be called into play.

'This morning Deuss made all prepara-
tions to end his life. He went to his place
OF business, took number of watches that
had been left with him and returned them
TO their respective owners. His friends
prevented him from carrying out his pur-
pose, and after / had talked to him for
some time he promised me upon his word
of honor that he will not end his life. He
declared that he had nothing to live for,
yet believe he will keep his promise.
During the afternoon he expressed a
desire that the bodies of his dead family
should be cremated and in accordance
with his wish the bodies will be cremated
at 2 O'Clock on Thursday afternoon at the
Odd Fellows Cemetery
At clock last night Deuss returned to
the Valencia-street Hotel, and broken
hearted and tired out, he was taken to
room and induced to retire. Before doin g
so he frequently expressed the hope that
death would come to him, as there was no
further life or happiness for him in this
world. At last nature asserted herself and
he fell into a slumber, and at midnight
was still sleeping. Two friends remained
in the room to watch him to see that he
did himself no harm should he awaken
again and be taken with the notion that
he ought to end his days.

lngs, and they wept too with the bereaved
Messersmith managed to tear the un-
happy man from the corpses into another
room, where he cast himself face down
ward on the bed so recently occupied by
his wife and youngest child and sobbed as
though his heart were breaking.
Deputies Hallet and McGinnis, from the
Coroner's office, arrived shortly afterward
in their matter-of-fact way with the grew
some wagon to convey the dead. They
carried the receiving boxes up the stairs
to the rooms where lay the corpses. They
had not expected such a sad scene, and as
they glanced on the three little babies in
their snow-white gowns clustered about
their mother, and saw the heartbroken
father standing by, calling on the Almighty
to also take him, those two deputies
thought of their own wives and children
and wept as they performed their sad
duties.
AS the bodies were about to be removed
Deputy Hallett called the attention of
Officer Murphy to the actions of Deuss.
He was CARRYING on like an insane man,
his bloodshot eyes were popping out of
their sockets, and he seemed on the verge
of doing something to harm himself.
He suddenly darted for the bureau,
where he fumbled in trying to open the
top drawer. This gave the policeman time
to reach him as he opened it and attempt
ed to take razor from its sheath.
II don't want to live! | can't stand
this any longer!" Deuss cried.
The keen blade was carefully put away,
and Deuss, looking around, picked up one
of his own business cards, giving his occu-
patton as matchmaker and ieweler at 126
Kearny street, in the Thurlow block. On
! the back of it he wrote:
GEORGE F. KUEGER,
199 S. Clart street,
Chicago
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-01

Turning to Deputy Coroner Hallett, he
said:
''If anything happens to me let this man
know, and he will know what to do"
Another friend of Deuss, hearing of the
tragedy, called at the house.
well, Frick," the unfortunate man
said, ''see what has befallen me. What
an unhappy man l am. My poor wife and
babies, all gone. !"
Deuss began to act stranger than ever
after that. Taking gold watch from his
pocket he handed it to the nearest person
to him.
''Take this" he said, sit belongs to
Shirfeld."
Then, reaching into his pocket again he
pulled out s12 in one hand and handed it
to Deputy Hallett saying:
'That belongs to Olga"
In another hand he held little bundle
of coin, about 81 80, wrapped up in a piece
of paper.
This" he said, "beiongs to -" He
did not finish the sentence, but went off
at ram bling and unintelligible wordy
gait.
The address of George II. Kueger, Chi
cago, is that of Mrs. Olga Deuss' brother,
to whom she left her belongings in the last
note she wrote on earth.
Deuss insisted upon accompanying his
wife and babies to the Morgue, where he
viewed their bodies on the slabs. He
acted in a comparatively rational manner
while weeping and kissing his dead.
Shortly after noontime he was duced
by his friend Frick to leave the place, an d
both went out to arrange for the funeral.
Late in the afternoon an attempt was
made to have Deuss lie down and get some
rest in the Valencia-street Hotel His
friend remained by him until shortly after
