SUICIDE, OR THE DEATH OF
FREE SILVER.
BY w. Il. Cummings.

BY w. II. Cummings.
The fight is on. The die is cast.
The party's will is known.
The great question came at last.
The news over the country blown.
The move was made, Twas very
bold,
And thousands stood aghast.
One said silver; the other said gold,
Their policies are known at last.
To die or live the parties will know
When November comes rolling in.
Whether Democratic or Republican
cock will crow,
Or who the victory will win.
1t looks like a Democratic suicide.
But sometimes you cannot tell.
There will be Republicans fighting
side by side
In the land where the Democrats fell.
To repudiate n nations trust
BY a policy that will not hold.
1t will surely that party bust.
For turning down nations gold.
Columns of silverites you can see,
But they will all be shut out in the
cold
The market says it is worth 80
And tire world cries out for gold
The Democrats have nominated
young Bryan
To lead the silver race,
But Mckinley, the Republican lion,
Will lead him hot pace.
The issue is of the greatest concern.
A nations life is jeopardized
Let every voter the lesson learn;
The full situation realize
Free silver. mans poverty and DESC
lution
A Reputation of our obligations;
Hard times to every one;
Excavations from everywhere will
come.
Weigh the questions. Give them full
thought
Before you plunge wildly in.
The contest will be stubbornly fought
To defeat this terrible sin.
To the laboring man is this silver
plank framed
To entice him for his vote,
And that is why Bryan was named
So the laboring men he could gar
rOte
1t is the nations greatest shame.
Such q course was never known be-
fore.
Besmirched you are fair Democratic
name.
You are not as you were of yore.
A dark cloud darkens your way.
The pale moon on you ceases to shine.
Phantoms of Jefferson will haunt you
every day,
Until you undo the great crime.
Wait until the Atonement day comes
around,
And that will be on the third of No
vember.
The fragments of your party will be
homeward bound
With defeat you will always re-
member.
We know that the masses will be led
eStray
BY oratory magnificent and grand,
But you will always rue the day
When you took silver for your stand.
The mighty shade of Lincoln stands
With uplifted hand to the skies,
Honor to every nation he demands.
Listen not to traitors and lies.
Remember the emancipation of 81,
When millions were enslayed.
Another slavery will surely come
If gold in this country is not saved.
Unfurl the banners! all fall in line!
Fight for sound money, Mckinley and
prosperity,
Then everyone will see good time
When we dance on the silver corpse
with hilarity.
The golden eagle will loudly scream.
His voice this land will girt.
A Republican victory will mean
Prosperity, With Mckinley and Ho-
bart.
There will be a gigantic funeral
They have died and gone back to the
giver;
Then to you sons the story tell
How death came to free silver.

JAILER MOORE is MISSING
He Is Supposed to Have Gone Beyond
the State Line
His Object Said to Be to Escape Paying His
Former Wife the Aiimony Allowed
Her by the Court

Jailer Moore, of the city prison, has been
CONSPICUOUS by his absence from his post
of duty for several nights past, officer
Phillips being in his place. The absence of
Moore has caused some comment, and last
night it was runored til at Moore had quiet
ly folded his tent, got his effects together
and moved beyond the jurisdiction of the
California courts.
The reason for Moore's unceremonious
departure, without even bidding his friends
goodbye, is said to be his aversion to pay
ing his former wife the alimony ordered by
the court. Shortly after Moore's divorce he
married again, and naturally objected to
dividing his rather limited income with the
former partner Of his joys and sorrows, es-
pecially when he wished to be particularly
agreeable to Mrs. Moore No. 2. AS re-
suit, Moore came in contact with the court,
as result of which he was locked up in
the county Jail for several days for con-
tempt in refusing to obey the order of the
court in the matter of alimony. He finally
patched the case up, and was released. He
returned to his work, and those i'll posi-
ton to know say that he at once COM
menced making systematic arrangements
to get out of the state. and thereby avoid
repetition of his unpleasant experience.

beyond the limits of the state, it is prob
able that he has gone so far that he cannot
again be troubled by the processes of the

just what direction Moore took when he
left. Some seem to think that he has gone
to Arizona, while others appear to be of
the opinion that he has gone south and is

VERY COMPLICATED
Jesse Hunters Marriage Was Unfortunate /
More Ways Than One

Jesse Hunters Marriage Was Unfortunate in
More Ways Than One
Jesse Hunter has brought a suit against
the woman he formerly lived with and
whom he believed to be his wife to have
two deeds set aside. declared void and can
called which cover property valued at
$4,000.
Hunter married Jane Elizabeth Milan.
who was, as he supposed, the divorced wife
of Joseph Milan. He lived with her for
years and then became satisfied that she
had never been divorced from her first
husband. He therefore left her.
Mrs. Milan, by which name she is now
known, brought suit against Hunter for
divorce, and after an interesting trial she
secured decree.
Hunter, in the complaint which he filed
yesterday with the county clerk, gives his
reasons for asking for the cancellation of
the deeds in question. He refers 10 the
romantic separation OF his wife and him
self. 1t is shown that they were married
July 3, 1862, although the venerable plain
tiff calls 1t pretended marriage. He AYERS
that he thought Joseph Milan was dead,
but that Mrs. Milan knew that he was
alive when he married her. He alleges that
in 1873 he was 50 sick that his physician
advised him that he was going to die, and
under that condition of affairs his wife set
about to persuade him to deed her his val
liable property, which he finally did, but
instead of diving, he got we'll.
In 1883 Mr.. Hunter states that his wife
confessed to him that her former husband
was still living. although she claimed not
to have known it for certain until about
that time. separation followed, and the
divorce suit alluded to.
After the divorce there was consultation
about the property. In order to make
some provision for his wife, he proposed to
give her a second deed under the name of
Milan if she would agree not to try to
claim it under the first deed. He alleges
that Mrs. Milan consented and agreed
to this arrangement. and in pursuance
of the understanding he gave her second
deed.
Mrs. Milan, he asserts, in violation OF
that agreement, is now trying to assert her
claim to the property in question by the
first deed. He claims that by SO doing she
has rendered of no account the considera-
ton in the second deed, and that both are
Illegal and void. He asks that they both
be declared so by the court and ordered
Cancelled.

MECHANICS LIEN LAW

A Case On Before Judge Mckinley In
voivng Some New Points
A case has been on before Judge McKin-
ley in department six in which some new
and important points are made in connec-
ton with the mechanics lien law. There
are two cases in fact. but as they relate to
the same property they we're consolidated
and tried together; w. 2. Fuller & Co. VS..
Fitch ct al. and J. I. Purdy VS.. Fitch ct
all. tie first being for material furnished a
painter who had contract amounting to
$145, with $50 for extras. and the other
being claim for carpenters wages at
$3.50 per day under employment by the
owner.
The property, after completion of the
building, was sold by the owner to the
ants. One of the questions of fact is
whether this sale occurred thirty days
after the completion of the building, and
whether the claims of lien were not filed
more than thirty days after the compile
ton.
ing the present owner, ,and also a mortgage
of the property, raised the point that where
the circumstances showed the purchaser to
be a bona fide purchaser for value. without
notice, his legal title would prevail against
claims of lien by material men and
mechanics OF laDOrerS,Wlere the contracts
amounted to less than $1,000.
In the Fuller case, the painter had
given receipt in full, which was, with
other receipts and waivers, exhibited to
the purchaser before he made payment of
the purchase money, and the painter tes-
titled that he did not get but $50 on ac-
count, but had trusted the agent of the first
owner with the receipt to enable him to
make the sale and bring back the balance
of the money. Defendants contend the
payment of the purchase money by the
present owner was in effect payment to
the painter by the purchaser, and as the
contractor may be paid in full by the
owner unless notice has been served as re-
quired by section l S4 of the code, where
the amount is under $1,000, such paym ent
will defeat the material mans lien.
The provision of section 11S7, to the
effect that trivial imperfections in the
work or structure or alteration, etc., shall
not be deemed such lack of completion
as to prevent the filing of any lien, also
became involved in the case, there being
strong contradictory evidence upon the
point as to what was done or required to
be done to complete the building after a
certain date. the purchase having been
made. as defendants claim, thirty days
LITER the building was completed.
The case certainly involves some inter-
esting points. and was taken under ad-

CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE?
Have Men and Women Been Grow
ing Weaker and Losing
Vitality?

Have Men and Women Been Grow
ing Weaker and Losing
Vitality?
Men are generally supposed to be the
stronger and women the weaker SEX"
1t was professor connected with one of
our leading colleges who recently made
this strange remark. He explained it in
the following words:
But is this really the fact at the present
day? Isn't it more true that the two sexes
are both deteriorating in strength and
vitality? We live more rapid, wearing
lives than people did fifty years ago, and
are showing the terrible effects of it in
health and constitution. Ii YOU doubt my
words, try to think of how many people
you hear complaining of tired feelings and
other miserable symptoms that show they
are suffering from some form of disease.
You will certainly be surprised to find how
many you can remember"
That the professor is right, and that
these dangerous symptoms are far more
common than we generally suspect, seems
to bo clearly proved by the opinions of
many people who speak from actual ex-
perience. The following is a case in point:
