Dr.. Cunningham at sullieent.

Sulligent Lightning. fa3
DR.. r. NJ Cunningham of Birmingham
(no charge for the rhyme) delivered one
of the most powerful free silver speeches
Saturday night that has ever been ut
tered here. He is an easy, forcible
speaker, and caused persons who favor
free coinage to be more emphatic in their
beliefs, while those of the golden belief
can't answer his arguments at all.
He discussed the question in all its
phases, and paid his respects to the
populists and republicans. and upheld
democracy in an eloquent manner clos
ing with a silver dollars most earnest
appeal for legal protection.
Dr. Cunningham has undoubtedly done
much good, and many have highly COM
plmented his speech.

her father, DR.. j. W. Rice, to escape the

The proceedings to have Il guardian ap-
pointed were reinstituted by Mrs. John Wood

A few hours after the court had appointed

guardian of Miss Rice, the young woman and
her father suddenly disappeared A week
later they were found in Montreal, to

Natural Fat.
Getting Fat is Only a Question

Thin people who to get fat should eat
proper food and digest it.
That is the only natural way.
The trouble with most thin pc ople Is that
they suffer from indigestion.
They don't digest their food. They don't
get enough nourishment. They are slowly
being starved. They are poisoned by the
products of fermented and putrid food.

OFFICIALS swoRE FALSELY.
Citizens Implicated In Fraudulently
Admitting Chinese Into Oregon


Astoria, Greg, May 22.-Thirteen promi-
nent citizens of the city have been indicted
by the Federal grand jury on a charge OF
falsely witnessing affidavits declaring that
certain Chinese were entitled to admission
at this port as merchants, who had pre-
viously resided here.
For several months the steamer Signal
has been running regularly from British
Columbia to this port, and on every trip has
landed from ten to fifteen Chinese. Fully
four-fifths of these men have been ad-
mitted fraudulcntly. and among those who
will be arrested today for completely are
two ex-mayors of the city and banker.
1t is believed tlat the investigation will
not stop at these people. but will reach
officials OF the department itself, whose ex-
aminations of Chinese that applied for ad-
mission have been remarkably loose. The
affair has created a great sensation here. =.

Tel1er's Patriotism.

The leader in the dramatic scene that
eliminated in the republican conven-
ton when the silver forces walked out
Of that assemblage, is widely spoken of
as the natural candidate Of the advo-
Gates Of true bimetallism. For twenty
years in congressional life, Teller has
been firm advocate of gold and silver
coinage on terms of exact equality for
both metals. A statesman of wide ex-
perience and commanding ability, he
has the confidence of all classes Of our
people. In the south his name is re-
vered for the heroic and patriotic posi-
ton he took on the Lodge bill. In the
west, whore he is personally known, he
is beloved, while in the north, even
among those of opposite political views,
he is honored for his sterling integrity
and uprightness. Whenever an emer-
gency has arizen, we have always found
the man for the occasion. The Fevolu-
tionary war produced a Washington,
the nulifcation days brought forth an
Andrew Jackson, while secession was
killed by an Abraham Lincoln At no
time in our history have we been more
in need Of leader than now. At the
command of a foreign power one Of the
metals which formed the circulating
medium Of our country was unconsti-
tutionally struck down. The contrac-
ton of our medium oe exchange thus
resulting has been productive Of untold
misery, suffering and destitution. An
other Andrew Jackson or an Abraham
Lincoln is needed. In the Colorado
statesman, who led the friends Of an
American financial system out Of the
republican convention, we believe, is to
be found the man for the emergency
that is upon us. The Sentinel would
like to see ell friends OF silver unite on
Teller, There is a time when we should
lay partizanship aside and all should
become patriots. To win the silver
men must unite, they must put country
above party. IF this is done, with such
a man as Teller for a leader, tie coun-
try can be redeemed. Boise Sentinel,

About the only partizanship rancor
that will be displayed in the coming
campaign, viii be against persons who
go back upon the financial views which
they have professed to hold in the past,
but which we're not strong enough to
induce them to break away from old
party ties. This rancor, will, in this
state, be exhibited chiefly against the
republicans who profess hankering
after Mckinley goldbug crow. Cover

ing it to bein at the patronage feast,
