Ask a free silver orator how tcomes
thatin'lesa than three months silver has
lost about i've cents an ounce and wheat
has gained about ten cents bushei?
lie will probably reply that the money
power has forced silver down and
wheat Up, but that Is mot the reason.
Buyers are willing to give moro for
wheat and less for silver. That is the
reason.

that they are Democrats, will not sup

Isn't this a free country? Haven't

haven't they right to express their

The damage was very great. Many
small farmers who have a money rent
to pay will be broken up. They have
lost In the aggregate thousands of bush
els of corn that stood In the shock, and
they have nothing TO pay with except
their work animals and implements.
These people need help and ARE worthy
of IT, know of no more practical
charity than to help people who are
willing to do ill they can to help them
selves Any who may be disposed to
help these fellow citizens In Hampshire
and Hardy VIII have no trouble TO reach
the needy through proper channels. It
will give me great pleasure To- direct
them. The havoc has been appalling.
The time to'help Is now. In some parts
OF Hampshire and Hardy the flood de-
structlon hns never been so great.

We left the Forks of Capon to go south
through the eastern part Of Hampshire
and Hardy and just in time TO run
into the food that swept through those
two counties. Half an hour after we
landed ut Capon Bridge 1t was impos-
sible to get there over the road we had
Travelled. That night we spoke In the
school house across little run. The
rain was falling heavily and part of
the bridge over the run had been washed
AWAY. When we left the meeting more
of the bridge was gone Soon the whole
bridge was swept away. Through the
night the rain fell in torrents and the
Capon river was far out OF It's banks.
The stream was full of drift and corn
on the stalk. telling something of the
destruction. OF which we saw more as
we journcyed further. The Cover tan
merry at Capon Bridge was damaged to
the extent Of several, thousand dollars.
For sixty miles we were warned that
we could not get through on account
Of the damage to roads and the loss OF
bridges. Fourteen bridges were torn
away on our road. Great Eashes were
cut In roads that were the boast of the
counties and the delight of tho people
who drove over them. These roads were
"impassablc," but we had to get on and
we pushed ahead. Sometimes we
crossed stream by taking out the
horses and leading them over n closed
bridge. pulling the carriage after them.
Sometimes we got over by taking down
fence, driving through field and
crossing the stream where the banks
were low. t

GOVERNOR BUOO At TAHOE
Arrives on Horseback After In
specting the Old Placer
vile Road.
Delighted With His Trip and Is
Making Good Catches at
the Lake.

TALLAC, LAKE TAHOE, CAL, Aug N.-
Governor Budd arrived this morning. He
came on horseback, accompanied by
valet and c. E. Hobridge, Road Commits
sioner of Sacramento. Immediately upon
their arrival the Governor lunched with
Joseph Austin. appraiser of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, and John Nc
Laren, superintendent OF Golden Gate
Park, together with their wives, and spent
the afternoon resting. His route was
taken from Sacramento over the old Placer
vile road, recently purchased by the State,
which he personally inspected, and it is
the first occurrence in long while that
Governor ever came on horseback in per-
son to oversee work on State property.
With regard to the road he said:
~ have never seen better road in my
life. 1t must have been of wonderful con-
struction when new. Every three miles
are ruins of old watering places where the
road was kept wetted down and in good
condition. At present. however, and be-
fore the State purchased the road, these
places have been abolished and placed
over ten miles apart Even then some are
not used. The culverts are IN bad condi-
ton and in many places dangerous to
public safety. / came over the road and
personally supervised its reconstruction,
stopping here and there as the work pro-
crossed, and when finished | think we
shall restore it to its original condition"
Mr.. Hobridge was also interviewed and
expressed Che same opinion. The Placer
vile road was the old pioneer road from
Sacramento to Nevada over which all the
business was done in the early days of
silver mining In Nevada. 1t was built
substantially in 1862 and 10 serve its pur-
pose. which it has done until within the
last Jew years, when the toll was discon-
tinued The Governor arrived at Straw
berry, on the road twenty miles from Tai
lac August 8, where he has remained
since, visiting the mountains and taking
trips to the little lakes in the vicinity,
among them Echo Lake, twelve miles
southwest of Tallac, on the summit to
PIaceryille. which was restocked with
is. 900 samo-mykiss under his supervision
by e. w. Hunt, superintendent of the
Tahoe fish station. Among the places Wis
tied were the American River and Silver
Lake. situated near here, and where the
fishing is excellent.
The Governor reported fine luck, and is
we'll satisfied with his catches. OF Lake
Tahoe the Governor said: 1T is grand
pIace. and should be the resort of the
coast. Tallac is the prettiest resort 1 have
SEEN"
Howlong he will be at the lake is not
known. but he expects to remain at least
couple of days. Tomorrow a special
steamer will be chartered, and in company
with Mr.. Lawrence, DIR. Hall and Karl
Hermann of San francisco, the party will
have fishing trip around the lake.

Vainly Implored the Physician
to Kill the Baby at Its
Birth.
A CoRoNER's INQUEST IS HELD
The Woman Will Be Arraigned for the
Crime as Soon as Her Condition
Will Permit.

OROVILLE, CAL, Aug. N.-The rumor
on the street this morning that mother
had strangled her newborn baby on in
vestigation proved true. Miss Mary Alb
bott, half-breed Inoian seamstress, who
occupies two rooms of house owned by
B. Russell on Montgomery street, called
a physician on Wednesday evening and
informed him she would soon give birth to
a child and desired his services. She
stated that no nurse would be needed, as
she did not wish the public to know her
condition. The doctor refused to have
anything to do with her unless nurse
was secured. She refused, and he left.
Thursday evening DR.. Wilson was sent
for. To him the woman made the same
statement, adding that her sister was
coming from the mountains and would
arrive that evening. The doctor called
twice during the night. Early this morn
ing heavy ten pound boy was delivered
all right.
While the doctor was removing the
mGcus membrane from the baby's mouth
and nostrils the mother said: do not do
that, but let the child die" He refused
to be connected with any such crime. and
carefully wrapped the baby in sheet and
placed it at the foot of the bed. few
minutes later the baby cried, when the
mother ried to kill it with her foot. The
doctor lnterfered, when she raised up in
bed, caught the child by the head and
shoulders, and tried to wiring its neck
The doctor seized her by the throat, COM
polling her to release her hold of the baby,
threatening her with arrest if any harm
happened to the child.
After completing his work and having
her assurance that no further attempt
would be made to take the child's life he
left, thinking that she would keep her
promise Later he called and found the
mother doing well. On inquiry for the
child she replied: The baby wen t to
sleep and placed it under the bed"
Her appearance indicated that all was
not right, aud the doctor hurriedly pushed
the bed aside, finding the baby wrapped
in a sheet and lying on quilt. On closer
examination he found the mother had tied
a towel around the ehild's neck and stran-
g.ed him to death.
The doctor asked if she had murdered
the child and she replied: Eyes. and it is
none of your business. You had no right
to remove the membrane from the nostrils
so the child could breathe; yeu ought to
have let it die"
DIR. Wilson informed the Coroner, Sher-
iff and District Attorney. They visited
the sick woman and found the child as
above stated. The Coroner's jury brought
in verdict charging Miss Mary Abbott
with having murdered her infant. A war
rant was sworn to before Judge Leonard
charging her with murder. A watch will
be kept on her until her condition is such
as to permit trial.

VACANCIES AT HHlTTIER.
The Recent Investigation Resulted IN
Several Resi0nafions.

The Recent Investigation Resulted IN
Several Resi0ndfions.
LOS ANGLES, CAL, Aug. 2L-The State
School at Whittier, according to current
rumor here to-day, has been left in the
lurch and Indignantly deserted by three
very important officials, viz. the matron
of the institution, a lady relief officer and
Miss Vesta 0mstead, the lately deposed
principal who on sundry occasions in
months agone made vigorous use of a
leather .'cat" on the bare backs of refrac-
tory girls.
Miss 0mstead resigned" the other two
have been deposed, but were to remain in
the institution until Trustee Keyes had,
with the consent of his associates on the
board, selected three competent successors.
Miss Omstead, it seems, organized re-
volt and leading the way made her dress
skirts fairly crack In her haste to quit the
institution. The other two. equally deter
mined to create vacuum, followed Miss
Omstead. The resolution abolishing cor
paral punishment was passed at late
meeting. Just what will be done next
Professor Keyes has not indicated, but it
is fair to presume that the places will be
easy enough to fill. Mrs. Mary R. Threl-
keld, a philanthropist, builder of the
Newsboys' Home here and splendidly
equipped lady for Miss Omstead's place,
was rejected by majority of the board,
although championed by Trustee Adina
Mitchell and indorsed by Governor Budd.
