remarked the angry dame, as she put
aside her irons and hurried to answer
the summons.
But the good woman had no sooner
drawn back the door, with.mouth al

Shrek of establishment that startled
the corporal in the back kitchen.

without ceremony into an armchair.
'.He's cleanin' hisself, he be-" Then
running out she broke the extraordi-

husband.
"Who dost thou think be a-settin' i
our house-rOom?"
''Elsle come back?"
t'No, indeed. There, thoult never

''Then all can say" remarked the
corporal slowly, as he dried his face on
the huckaback towel, sis that another

"Well, if the pills gilded had better
swallow it, though it goes against the
grain to welcome such dog in1o the

With this inhospitable speech the cor

the presence of his visitor, who little
knew how warm a reception he was es-

''Here he is" laughed Jacob jovially
extending both hands to his impassive

But the corporal's right hand was
behind his back and his features wore
no smile.
"Why have you left Elsie's board

brought the money in your hand now

''T didn't pay it because 1 couldn't,

nothing by treating all kinds of money

IN CASE OF FIRE.

"Trip provided myself with a knotted
rope 60 feet long. Anything like the
smell of smoke always weakens me,
and an unusual noise in the night
brings me out of bed. One night there
were four OF us boys occupying two
beds in a room in a southern hotel
which had a crush of guests. Our room,
was on the fourth story, and each one
of us got our ropes before going to bed
We also went out into the hall and To-
Gated the stairways, elevator, etc.
Eat one o'clock in the morning, with
the rain pouring down and the night as
dark as awolfs throat, the hotel caught
fire in the kitchen, and all the guests
were aroused. have always felt proud
~of the GOODNESS of our quartette. One
man whipped the sheets off the two
beds, tied them together and ran the
length of the hall and lowered himself
down to the opening of the freight
elevator. A second seized his trunk

into the hall and into room at the far

Danger from Damp Linen.

Damp linen is sufficient to account
for frequent colds, consumption and
premature death OF a whole family.

damp linen, develops into form

linen. shortly before putting on,
should be made dry by good fire.

that, but il cannot fall lower, for the
demand at the mint under FREQ coinage
is inexhaustible. ALI prices and values
in this country must rise with silver.
In other words, the restoration Of sil-
yer means the restoration Of better
prices for the products of factory and
farm. better wages for the working
people. larger profits for business mon
and general prosperity all around; for
good prices and fair profits mean pros
perity.
Sowing to the absolute scarcity of
gold. there may be small premium on
that metal, should the minis be thrown
open; but this premium would be .
bonus on American products Of all
kinds To state the case more simply,
a premium on gold in this country,
large or small, would represent .
premium on European products. and
rather than pay that premium our peo-
pie would buy the products of Ameri-
can industry. This would be great
stimulus to our own manufactures of
all kinds, and would work not q
particle of hardship to consumers, for
all classes would share in the general
prosperity. The man is blind who
does not see what the god premium is
doing for Mexico and JaNan. But with
our minis open to silver, the nations
of the east could no longer compete
with our cotton growers and wheat
producers The enhanced value Of
silver would wipe out the advantages
they have over us in the European
markets. Nor could the manufacturers
of Japan or China compete in our home
markets with our own manufacturers.
as they are now doing on a small. and
preparing to do on a very large scale. =

and more confirmed than ever in his in
tention 10 go to Zoar for a few days rest
this week. He has been working very
hard since his nomination, and from the
latter part of this week up to the very day
of the election he expects TO be occupied
all the while and to have no time for
recreation. Zoar is quiet and quaint re-
igious community, where the people own
the property in common and are law
unto themselves. There is a pleasant,
beautifully situated small hotel there,
which will be placed at the disposal OF
Major Mckinley. The drive to Zoar is a
pleasant one, and is a little less than
twenty miles. Major Mckinley SAID to-
day that he would drive to Zoar. Mrs.
Mckinley will go with him, and probably
Captain and Mrs. Heistand. Captain
Heis,and is an officer in the regular army,
who is devoted TO Major Mckinley, and
who, at the lattor's request, Is acting as
his confidential secretary during MS leave
of absence. Major Mckinley does not ex-
pect to remain longer than two or three
days in Zoar, as he has TO receive some
delegations the latter part OF this week.
Delegations are coming in large num-
bers from all parts OF the country, and no
day goes by without bringing letters of
inquiry respecting dates for proposed
visits. Major McKlnl Y said to the CORE
spondent OF the United Associated Presses
to-day that he is always exceedingly glad
to have delegations come to Canton to
see him, but it would be more convenient
in many ways if it could be arranged to
have not more than two parties of visitors
arrive on the same day. Delegations
which contemplate coming to Canton
should try to arran-e the time OF their
coming so as not to bring visitors from
too many places here on the same day.
This can be done by telegraphing to Cam
ton and ascertaining what dates are open.
Tuesday will be an interesting day here

They will also call upon Major Mckinley

will be the third editorial association to

ton. The others were the Michigan and
West Virginia associations.

let's. TWenty-four hours later the two
men were captured by posse of 500 men
in neilhboring county and taken to
Glencoe. The Jail was surrounded by
several hundred men and a lynching
would have occurred but for the promp
action of Governor Clough, who sent out
a company OF militia from st. Paul. The
prisoners were Immediately taken to st.
Paul and put in jail there.
The trial of the two men for murder in
the first degree opened here about two
weeks ago, with w. W. Erwin for the de-
fense. Erwin moved for separate trials,
and the case of Musgrove was taken up
first. The trial closed on Thursday and
at l O'Clock Friday morning the jury re-
turned with a verdict of murder in the
second degree after being out eight hours.
This, together with the fact that Cinque-
mars trial would have to occur in an
other county owing to the difficulty OF
securing jury, incensed large portion
of the community, who are not backward
in expressing their commendation of the
action of the mob.
The mob consisted of about a hundred
masked men. They came quietly upon
the Jail, overpowered the turnkey and the
guards and soon had the men. The guards
were tied and gagged and did not know
which way the mob went, but it is evident
the murderers were taken directly to the
bridge in the eastern limits of the town.
The ropes were made secure TO the railing
or crossbeams and the TWO were thrown
over, one from one side of the bridge and
the other from the opposite.
When the men were discovered Cinque-
mars feet were touching the water. fifteen
feet below. The bodies were taken down
at an early hour this morning and are at
present in the city morgue awaiting the
action OF the Ccroner's Jury tomorrow.

A Sackful of Dynamite Found
Near Outlaw Morgan'S
Body.
HIS CONFEDERATEs STILL AT
LARGE.
Believed TO Have Remained on the
Train and Been Carried Into
Sacramento.

SACRAMENTO, CAL.,s Sept. Gall
night long parties of keen-eyed, vigilant
men secured the street and byways of the
little town of Washington, opposite Sacra-
mento, in Yolo County, in the hope that
some trace might be found of the COM
panions of the train-robber who met his
death at the hands of brave Engineer
Insles. All night long the huge wooden
railroad bridge which spans the river at
this point was closely watched and the
local police force secured the drinKing-
dens of the water front and dives of the
city, searching for some clew which might
lead to the capture and conviction OF those
who made such a desperate attempt to
gain an entrance to the Golfers OF Wells,
Fargo & Co., but all in vain, and as the
gray of early morning appeared across the
eastern SKY BODY OF man-hunters, many
of whom had achieved more than n local
fame, gathered in tie railroad depot pre-
paratory to a start for the scene of last
nights attempted hold-up, from which
point a systematic search was to be insti-
tuted.
The party consisted of Sheriff Johnson,
Detectives Al Gibson, William Ahern,
Enoch Dole, Frank Shook, Policeman
Talbot and a CALL representative. All
were armed with messenger shotguns,
rifles or revolvers.
Shortly after the assembling of the
party an engine and one coach backed
into the depot. The party boarded it, the
engineer pulled the throttle and the little
special soon was speeding along over the
rails almost as fast as Engineer Ingles'
iron horse had traYersed it a few hours be-
fore.
Running to within two miles of the spot
where the body of the dead robber had
been found, the party left the train, which
pulled out for the Swingle switch, mile
beyond the scene of the attempted hold
up, in order TO leave the main line clear
for the passage OF trains, and the search
began.
The men separated in pairs and paced
along the track, slowly and carefully
scrutinIzing every inch of the embank-
ment on either side to locate the spot
where the outlaws. who had supposedly
sprung from the rapidly moving train on
the previous evening, had alighted. Even
the thick mass of willows and under
brush which lines the railroad for miles
was carefully searched in the hope that
some broken branch or twig might mark
the resting-place of a wounded man, for
it was matter OF certainty to the railroad
officials that no living being could have
jumped from train going fifty miles az
hour without sustaining some injury, per-
haps mortal, perhaps only to cripple and
make more desperate the man who sus-
tanned it.
The first piece of evidence obtained was
one OF the masks of the robbers, which
had caught on and lay partially concealed
beneath bunch of weeds beside the iron
track. This was found by The CALL rep
resentative, who was walking in the lead

GLENCOE, MINI. Sept. 5.-At twenty
minutes after l o'clock this morning
Charles Cinquemars and Dorman Mus
grove, murderers OF Sheriff Rogers, were
hanged to the railroad bridge, less than a
quarter of mile out of town. One OF the
men was hanged from the north side OF
the bridge and the other from the south
side. The deed was done by about 100
citizens OF Mcleod County, who thus ex-
pressed their disapproval of yesterdays
verdict sending one of the murderers to
State Prison for life instead of being sent
to the gallows.
The murder was one of the most cold
blooded in the annals of Minnesota.
Cinquemars and Musgrove, two tramp
desperadoes, were travelling northward,
according to their own story, to the wheat
fields of North Dakota. A few miles below
Glencoe they accosted g farmer, took pos
session of his team and drove into town.
On the way up they beat the farmer for
trying TO handle his own team.
The farmer reported them to the officers
at Glencoe and warrant was issued for
the arrest of the men. who by this time
had disappeared. Rogers took the papers
himself and started in pursuit OF the des-
peradoes. Just at dusk on the evening of
June % he overlook the two men five
miles south of Glencoe. Riding up TO
