HOOD CANAL, Sept 6, 1896.
| Died, at Union City, Aug. 18th, Alice,
infant daughter Of F. Pharris, aged
two months and twenty-three days.
She was sick but two days. DIR. Beach
was called, but ali help was unavail-
| ing. and what rendered the trial more
severe, was the fact that Mr.. Pharris
has been away from home for the past
two months fishing, and it was not
possible for him to return even to the
funeral, as he was about Port Angeles
or between there and Neah bay. She
was buried last Sabbath. She blossom
ed to die, or rather<t6sbe transplanted.
o. Godkin and family are spending
a week or two ON their ranch opposite
Hoodsport, having recently come FROM
San Francisco. They expect soon to
go to Tacoma to live.
Henry Lathans moved his family
from his ranch at the Upper Skoko-
mish to the Purdy place last week,
where his home will be in the future.
1t seems too bad to see so many desert
ed farms in the Skokomish valley.
Four or five years ago there were in
that settlement about sixty-five persons
including seven families and two log
ging camps, now there are only about
twenty persons left, not a logging
camp, aud only four families. one of
which expects to move before winter.
On the Canal many families have
moved away from their ranches about
as soon as they have proved up. be
cause their places were on gravelly
land, but very little of which would
produce very much, and it was
perfectly reasonable that they should
move to some place where they could
make living, but the Upper Skoko-
mish valley is so rich that It does not
seem right that it should be so desert
ed.
The bark Canada. finished loading
with piles at Union City and left on
the 9th for San Francisco. She ex-
poets to return again for another load
as soon as she can.
Miss Maud Latham, who was visit
ing her cousin, Miss Nellie McReavy,
went home to Tacoma short time ago
and Miss Annie McReavy Of Shelton,
another cousin, is now visiting her.
Mrs. DIR. G. W. Kennicott, who left
Union City last year,-has returned for
short visit.
]. c. Youngblood, formerly superin-
tendent of the Indiai, boarding school
at Neah bay, has been transferred to
the Skokomish as day school teacher
With his family he arrived last Friday.
He is in charge of the reservation and
plans to begin day school at the
agency boarding house very soon. He
expects also to sell good share of the
Agency cattle in the near future. ].
Hawk, who has been in charge for the
past month, returned with his family
to the Puya1lup reservation last week.
H. L. Bryan was elected as teacher
of the school in the Webb district last
week, he being the successful candid
ate out of three applicants. It is ex-
pected that the school will begin next
week. The directors at the same time
voted to buy flag for the school. S.
TOO late for last week.

AN ANXIOUS SOUND
Runs Through the Whole Of the Fol-

In which They Beseech Every Democrat 10
Turn Out and Vote.

Washington Oct. 29.--The following
call was issued. tonight, from the Demo-
cratic headquarters:
.,ro the voters of the United States.
"In the preliminary battle OF the peo-
pie against the plutacracy. the people
have already won. In spite of the ex-
pediture of money 80 large that the
civilized world stands appalled, at its
magnitude. today, a large majority of
the people of the United States are in
open revolt against the merciless gold
standard and the domination of the
country by the syndicated wealth of
Europe and America Interested in Sc
curing or preventing legislation and in
controlling the execution of the laws
in their interest.
"All that is necessary to secure the
registering of the peoples will be is to
see that every voter comes to the polls
and casts an Impoverished ballot, Many
of the millions collected by syndicates
have been reserved for election day
Beaten at every point. the last resort
of money Is to buy the ballot of the
voter by purchasing his absence from
the polls or coerce his vote by intimi-
dalton. TO prevent this is possible If
every patriot will do his duty.

Rockford, H.. Oct. 29.-Many gold
badges were displayed at Rockford and
a number of young men who wore the
orange followed Mr.. Bryan's carriage
shouting for Mckinley, but the Repub-
lican colors disappeared when the cam

10000 people made him forget in their
enthusiasm the opposition he had en-
countered.

Mr.. Bryan, who said in part: IF you
ask why it is 50 many Republicans are
joining with us in the restoration of BIZ
metallism, l reply that we are simply

tinguished Republicans of this nation
have taught in years gone by. Let me
read you what one Republican once
said on this gold question: There is no
organized party yet risen so bold as to
advocate the adoption of the single gold
standard. The owners of promises to

dollars. The masses of people are not

William Lathrop of Illinois, made in

1879. Let me read you another extract
from that speech which he will never
be able to answer if he talks gold from
now until dooms day, (Cheers).
Make the most favorable assump-
ton, and yet the fact remains that the
proposition to demonetZe silver is to
deprive the world of well-nigh half Of
all its actual money and deprive it of

the result of full execution CT the pro-
ject would be it is not necessary tocon-
lecture. States organized upon an au-

fundamental rule, such an injustice
