a SPECIAL telegram from: Boston on
Monday tells q tale which will interest
many il New Ulm. threads as follows:
Mary y. Collins and Samuel p. Putnam
of Chicago were found dead to-day up

were both completely clothed. A whis-
Ky flask was also found in the room.
The indications are that the couple COM
mitted suicide last night. Miss Collins

accompanied the woman home last night.
A further dispatch from Chicago says:
"Samuel p. Putnam Of Chicago, who
was found dead in Boston to-day, was
we'll known as one of the most promi-
nent officers of the American Society of
Free Thinkers and noted as fiery advo-.
cate of agnotism. He was warm friend
of Robert G. lngersoll. Miss Collins, in
| whose room Putnam was found, lectured
at Central Music Hall about three weeks
ago on "Free Thought and .The New
Woman After her meeting with Mr..
Putnam, a joint lecture tour of the east
was arranged, and they left here about
two.weeks ago. She was regarded as a
very brilliant speaker" 49,.

in this city few months aso. He was
an eloquent talker, and made many
strong friends. ''
| A ticket seller in theatre once owned
parrot that was quick at learning to
repeat the phrases he heard. Thus.
among other things, he was soon able to
exclaim: "One at time, gentlemen
One at a time, pleased" for this sentence
was constantly in the mouth of his mas
ter. The ticket man went to the coun-
try for summer vacation and took the
educated parrot along with him. One
day the bird got out of his cage and dis
appeared. His owner searched all about
for him. and finally. toward evening,
found him despo1led of half his feathers,
sitting far out on the limb of tree,
while a dozen crows were picking at
him whenever they could get chance.
And all this time the poor parrot, with
his back bumped up, was edging away
and constantly exclaiming: Zone at a
time, gentlemen, one at time, nlease!!"

THOUSANDS DIE
From Exposure to Infectious
Disease and Impure Air.
Important Points About 'Purifne," the
Great DSinfGCtant,
Is. F. Post.l

In these enlightened DAYS of the nine
teenth century it is an acknowledged
fact that San ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" and that ounce
of prevention was never better exempli-
fled than in the use of the great disin-
fectant known as "Purifne." The public
has had many disinfectants brought to
their attention. Some were good, some
were bad, and some were simply lndif-
ferent, but none ever yet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of "Purifine.' In the first place
it was left to the manufacturers of
"Puriine" to compound a disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, a
most important matter, as users of disin-
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant, especially when in constant
use, becomes sickcning and disagreeable,
oftentimes as much so as the odor or
NELL to be killed.
In word, "Purifine" is odorless, and
ITS work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluted
with two parts water there is not the
slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In the bath
room, sleeping room or about the house
generally 1T Is Indispensable.
Then again it is non-poisonous, an all
important feature, for if used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results. and it is absolutely safe
to have around the house.
As sample of it's harmlessness it can
even be used in in refrigerators, and, if
accidently spilled no harm is done, and
it is particularly adapted for this use

almost limitless, and to enumerate them
would fill pages of The Post. For flush
ing sewers. and for cleansing sinks,
drains, barns, urinals, water closets,
floor cloths and the bed clothes from
sickness or infection it is invaluable.
Then again the price is so low that it
can be used lavishly, and for hospitals,
asylums, public buildings. hotels, restau-
rants, school rooms, laundries, diaries,
markets, stables, packing houses and
canneries where disinfectant is used in
large quantities, this is a point to be
considered. One gallon is used TO bar
rel of water, and for general use one
tablespoonful to pint of water.
"Purifine" is sure preventive against
cholera, la grippe, small pox, diphtheria,
all fevers and contagious diseases.
AS an antiseptic and healer "Puriine"
is invaluble, for it relieves and cures
sore throat, catarrh, stings and bites of
insects, burns and scalds, chilblains, sore
eyes, pimples, and for the bath it is a
delightful adjunct. 1t will instantly
stop any flow of blood, and physicians
will understand its full value from its
principal constituents, bromine and
chlorine. 1t is prepared only by the

HANA||'S INTEREST TOOL
STRONG APPEAL IN BEHALF OF
THE NICARAGUAN CANAL
From the San Francisco Chamber of
Enterprise--Wil Be Relief.

A circular letter has been sent out
signed by the trustees of the Chamber
of Commerce of San Francisco, calling
for united action i'm the interests of Sc
curing the construction of the Near
aqua canal. 1t is in part as follows:
Congress has been adjourned with
out enacting the legislation insuring
the construction of the Nicaragua
canal. although with "A favorable re-
port from the committees on com
merce of both houses.
at the neglect of n great public bene-
fcence because it has not the propul-
sion of private interest, must not per-
nit us to abate our eXertions and de-
mands for favorable action during the
last session of the Fiftyfourth con-
gress. We have five months for active
propaganda, and general election in
which to press our demands.
1--WE have powerful friends in the
while the Atlantic coast is with us
on account of the great impetus the
canal will give to American shipping.
Even the inland transportation corpor-
ations that have opposed us, are grad
ually recognizing that the canal is II

vested interest, but will increase their
traffic. We have no doubt of the great
future in store for the port of San

''Let every citizen on the Pacific
coast write to friends all over the
broad land, asking in the name of pa
triotism and as proof of their per-
sonal good will that they will urge
their senator's and Representatives to
demand legislation which will secure
us this urgent necessity before the ter
mination of the Fifty-fourth Congress.
"Opinions may honestly differ on
questions of tariff and free silver, but
we all know that the canal is the So
luton of the great questions of cheap
transportation for the products of the
Pacific coast On this all parties can
unite have, in fact, already and re-
peatedly united but failed us when
the time for legislation arrived, be-
cause of the absence of selfish inter-
ests insisting on fulfillment of party
pledges.
and so we urge you in the name of
our suffering farmers, our stagnant
industries, our hampered commerce. to
agitate, to demand, and to never to
cease an insstance on such legislation
as will secure IAN American canal
under American CONTROL for the ben
eft of our people under conditions
which shall prevent discrimination
and secure us short, cheap waterway
to the Atlantic ocean.

THE CLEAR DIFFERENCE.

During the running discussion of
the Minneapolis platform that followed
Mr.. Carriers recent senate speech, John
Sherman tried to have 1t appear that
he is bimetallist. Mr.. Teller would
not permit this assertion to stand un-
challenged. He insisted that Mr..
Sherman is not a bimetallist under the
definition of that term given by any
good authority in the world.
standard definition Of bimetallism
given in the report of the English
royal commission is this: "A bimetal-
lie system of currency, TO be complete
~ effective must, in the view of those
who advocate it. include two essential
features. First, an open mint ready
to coin any quantity of either gold or
silver which may be brought to 1t; sec
ond, the right on the part of debtor
to discharge his liabilities at his option
in either of the two metals at a ratio
fixed by law" Essentially this defini-
ton of bimetallism is accepted the
world over.
How far Mr.. Sherman is away from
this definition is made clear by his own
words. He says: II believe that the
policy of the United States, adopted in
1853, of coming fractional silver coins
in limited quantities from silver bull
ion purchased at market price, and
making them a legal tender for small
sums, is the only way to preserve the
parity of gold and silver coins at a
fixed ratio. This is properly called BIZ
metallic money"
A newspaper reader does not need to
be a master of the money question in
order to see that Mr. Sherman is no BIZ
metallist. Yet he ranks as the fore
most authority on the currency ques-
tion in the republican party.

HIS INSULTING WORDS.

Within five days a good many men
in public life have assured Congress
man Hartman that, in their opinion, he
had full warrant for the earnest words
he uttered in the house in answer to
the presidents grossly unfair slurs on
the West and on Western people-in
instances the expressions that have
reached Mr.. Hartman come from east
ern men.
newspapers have been wondering
whether some hidden motive prompted
the president in consenting to make
the New York address that is at the
bottom of the trouble. Surely the
president ought not to have been actu-
ated by any Interior purpose-there was
manifest propriety in a fair-spirited
speech before the Presbyterian home
missionary society. The presidents
father was Presbyterian minister.
At one time two of his sisters were
missionaries at Ceylon. His brother is
the pastor OF a Presbyterian church in
the state of New York. There was
therefore propriety in his presence at
the meeting; there was plenty for him
TO say that suited the occasion; the
went far out of his way to insult the
West.
Speaking with approval of the course
pursued by Mr.. Hartman, Senator VIII
son said last week in an interview:
MIR. Clevelands words are wholly I'M
warranted. There is more immortality
and more need of mission work in the
region which was within the sound of
the presidents voice than there is in
ten times the territory in any western
state" Talking with a newspaper re-
porter. Senator Hansbrough said:
THE trouble with the president is that
he does not know the people of the
West. he has never seen the West"
Said Mr.. Teller: The president says
what is untrue of the West simply be-
cause he does not know any better"
The trouble is that the presidents
ignorance does not plead excuse or fur
nish satisfactory explanation. The
methodical effort in eastern communi-
ties has been 10 hurt the cause of sill

HIS SPECIAL PLEA.

Mr.. Huntington added a dramatic
finish to his testimony before the SEN
ate committee. In his opinion 1t sis
hard that, after nearly thirty years of
effort" he should not be allowed to en-
joy the benefit of the many millions
which he has managed to get into his
own possession as the result of grab
bling everything in sight. Those are
not Mr.. Huntington's words-he would
have 1t appear that the investigation
is a wicked attempt to block the wheels
of commerce and dog the heels of an
industrial army like that which works
within the ranks of the Central Pa
cific railroad company"
Mr.. Huntington is dealing with men
who will not easily be moved by his
special pleading. The fact remains
that the properties which have made
him rich are notorious in the financial
world chiefly because they are monu-
ments to systematic pIundering. Mr..
Huntington has been a valuable wit
ness in his own behalf, for the reason
that he is familiar with the inside facts
anu ne can niue nc
convince some Of his hearers in Wash
ington that his local rates on the Pa
cific coast have been as low as railroad
rates are in any other part of the
world; he may assert that the policy
of the Pacific management has been
public spirited and generous; but with
all his talking he cannot persuade the
people of California that their own ex-
perience sustains him in his assertions
The charge openly made by Mr..
Huntingtons critics is that he is at this
moment conducting his operations in
Washington through the agency of a
lobby that is rich and powerful. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether he can in
fluence the conclusions to be reached
in Washington, as hitherto he has con-
trolled or crushed those who have un-
dertaken to have an opinion of their
own respecting his gigantic operations
along the Pacific coast.
