Will Ohlingor and Andy Sim
mons, two rough characters, who
have no respect for law and order,
were again before the Mayor yes
terday afternoon, charged with as
sault and disorderly conduct. 1t
was renewal of tho attack upon
Mr.. Wegner, peaceable and law
abiding citizen, to whom they had
taken a dislike, and at noon yester-
day, assaulted him upon the public
highway, and he only saved him
self from harm by drawing n re-
volver upon tho ruffians. The tes-
timony was all against them. The
Mayor fined Ohlinger $50 and
costs, and told him if that would
not make him conduct himself
properly, the next time he would
give him long Jail sentence.
Simmons got fine of 50 and costs.
Both wereNturned over to the Street
Commissioner, who was ordered to
work them on the streets with ball
and chain, until their fines were
liquidated. This dose ought to
satisfy them that it is not best to
defy the law or its officers.

We would like to have informa-
ton of returning prosperity to give
to our readers, but we can't do it.
Everything looks blue in business
circles, Confidence has been re-
stored" but not business. Times
seems to be growing worse and
worse every day. The papers are
full of assignments, shut downs of
factories, and reductions of wages.
This is "the present gold standard
for YOU" The prospects is that
times will be but little better and
prosperity with a big "P," will not
come to this country again, until
there is free coinage of silver.
Many voter will regret the day
when he voted to defeat that able
champion of free coinage of both
gold and silver, and of the peoples
rights, and when four more years
rolls around, will find them Sat.
Ting on the side of the people.

And places at our board untitled.
And our ear is panied for the coming

And voices that are forever stilled,
There's the hush of sorrow upon us

And we wait in vain for the ones
Who never again to our yearning
hearts,
O'er the threshold of home can come.
