SILVER AND GOLD MONEY.

The supporters OF the Chicago nominees
must be getting alarmed when they try to
strengthen their cause by charging that
the Republican party is the enemy of BIZ
metallism. Bryan himself says the St.
Louis platform declares for bimetallism,
only that it does not provide for direct
enough way to secure it. The fact is the
Chicago platform does not mean bimetaI-
ism by either direct or an indirect wav.
1t means silver monometallism pure and
simple; whereas the declaration of the
Republican party is emphatic in its de-
mand for the employment of both gold
and silver by commerce.
1t may be SAID without fear of success

publican party 10 make the silver dollar

sessed with the idea to tear the bandages
from his eyes and scratch at them.
The same evening another bullet was
found in the bedroom which is suppos-
ed to be the result OF the second shot,
but which did not take effect in his
body. The theory is that after the first
shot passed through his heads his
hand fell by his side, still retaining the
revolver in his grasp. 1t is presumed
that twitching of the muscles in his
hand and arm caused the revolver,
which is self cooking, to be discharged
a second time. One of the sheets on
the bed had hole in it and was DOW

easier of acceptance than the plan un-
der which the company was working.
Mr.. Champeny asked donation of 5000
in cash, and that farmers haul the ma
terlal. such as stone and sand free.
The farmers readily agreed to do their
share and it remained for the citizens
and business men to fulfill the rest of
the requirements. Messrs Walrath
and Weller started out with subscrip-
tlon paper Monday and Tuesday
finished, having secured the amount of
money required with but little effort.
Champeny Bros. were ready to begin
operations as soon as they were assured
that their proposition would be accept
ed and fulfilled. at noon the soliciting
committee assured the firm that the
money was all subscribed and that the
farmers were in readiness to- haul the
material. That was sufficient for
Champeny Bros. for at | o'clock they
had force OF men at work digging the
trenches for the foundations and the
work will be pushed to completion lust
as fast as possible. The creamery
building will be erected on the vacant
space in the rear Of Champeny Bros
store and the rear wall of their build
ing will be used for the creamery. The
creamery will be erected with stone.
this being considered to be the best
material for use in the construction of
a creamery building. The structure
will be 40x50 in size and will be large
enough to handle the business for some
time to come. Mr.. Champeny stated
to IHE REPUBLICAN that their cream
cry, when completed, would be the
largest and best in the state, as it was
the intention to fit the creamery out
with the best machinery with capacity
sufficient to handle about all the milk
that could be brought to them. Mr..
Champeny owns four large creameries
IN Wisconsin every one of which are
paying institutions, both to himself and
the farmers who patroniZe them. This
creamery will be one of the best things
that ever happened to the farmers in
this vicinity for we believe it will be

feet 1t means also revenue through
the entire year, when heretofore at
least four months was spent in enforced

all will receive more or less benefit

The Suicide Seemingly Planned.

There was hardly any change in the
condition OF Mr.. Knowles Wednesday
and he passed the day in much the same
manner as he did Tuesday. He had a
slight touch of fever Wednesday, and
so far but little Inflammation is notice
able. The physicians made another
critical examination of Mr.. Knowles,
eyes and they state that should he re-
cover his eyes will be entirely sightless
That Mr. Knowles had evidently plan
ned taking his life some two or three
weeks ago IS brought out by the fact
that he had slipped many of his house
hold goods and pictures to parties to
whom he had promised them in case
anything should happen to him. His
pet horse, which was used on the de-
livery wagon, was recently turned out
to pasture and it is said that Mr..
Knowles made arrangements to have
the horse killed as he did not want the
animal to suffer after he was gone.
Another incident was the mysterious
killing of Mr.. Knowles two black cats
which continuously hung around his
store and of which be was very fond
1t is now presumed that they were
chloroformed on the same theory.

ination Of the wounds about 9 occock
in the morning. There were two
wounds in the head, being made by the
shot, the ball entering the right tenn
pie aud passing through his head and
making wound on the left side. The
second shot which was heard evidently
did not take effect on his person. The
surgeons probed the wound for the ball
which was supposed to be lodged in the
head out were unable to locate it. The
bullet was found on the floor having
fallen from the plaster on the wall
with small pieces of flesh and bone at
rached to it. The bullet was OF unusual
size being fired from a No. 30. The
brain was affected by the bullet as
portions of it protruded from the
wounds. The first shot severed the op-
tic nerve and caused the eyes to bulge
out and in case Mr.. Knowles should
recover he will forever be sightless and
mental wreck.
Mr. Knowles has been a resident of
Mitchell since 1881 and has been in bus
mess during the time. He was man in
whom the greatest confidence could be
placed and by his honesty and integri-
ty won the respect and esteem of a
large circle Of friends. He was very
quiet man and possessed sensitive ma
ture. 1t seemed to many that he would
be the last man TO attempt to take his
own life and the fact thai he did at
tempt it has brought sorrow to many.
All day yesterday and up to mid
night Mr.. Knowles remained in semi
conscious condition.. When spoken to
he understood sufficiently to comply
with the request, but other than this
he has shown no signs OF consciousness.
The physicians say that the chances
are largely against recovery and the
end may come at any moment.
