DEATH OF c. H. JENNISCH.
One Of the Old and Respected Citizens
of Decorah Passes Away.

Charles Henry Jennisch was born
December 8, 1880, at Koennischreich,
Wurtemberg, Germany, and died at his
home in this city last Friday morning
at AS o'clock, of cancer of the stomach.
Mr.. Jennisch came to DecOrah 3S
years ago and was engaged in the
blacksmith shops of the M. o. Walker
Stage Company, for whom he worked
eighteen months; then he purchased
the shop and has since conducted the
same business. He was married Jan.
l, 1860, to Mary E. Folliard, of Dubu-
que, Bishop Smith officiating. In
March 1859 Mr.. Jennisch sent to Dubu-
que for Jacob Haas, who came and
worked in the shop with him. He had
been in good health until early in the
spring he began to complain, and
gradually grew worse despite the fact
that everything possible was done to
relieve his suffering.
Mr.. Jennisch has been one of the
enterprising citizens of Decorah for
over thirty years, and has held a pro-
minent place in political and business
circles. He was well known over this
section of the state, and the news of his
death was shock to the community
and all who knew him. His wife died
March %, 1882, his daughter Kate June
26, 1894 and his son Charles Apr. 2S,
1896, while three daughters, Anna,
Grace and Mrs. Frank Hutchinson and
two sons, Harry and Will, remain to
mourn his loss.
The funeral services were held at st.
Benedick's Catholic church Sunday
morning at ten o'clock, Rev. Father
Garrahan officiating, and were indeed
impressive. A very large number of
friends were present, the large church
not being able to contain nearly all
who attended the funeral; and an un
usually large number followed the re-
mains to the Catholic cemetery, where
they We're inferred.

A STABBING AFFRAY.
Pat Delaney, of Freeport, Stabbed in
the Shoulder by Mons Olson.

On last Wednesday afternoon Mons
Olson, an old soldier who has been
boarding in town for some time, and
Pat Delaney, of Freeport, were in
fuckers saloon, and Olson stabbed De-
laney in the shoulder. The particulars,
as near as we could learn, are these:
The two men were in the rear of the
room, talking in angry mood. Some
say that Delaney was "joshing" Olson,
and others that Olson claimed that De
laney had stolen a pocket book contain
ing ten dollars from him. Delaney
arose and walked to the front of the
saloon and was looking outside, when
Olson walked up behind him and drove
large knife blade into his shoulder.
He was about to stab him again, when
John Mizener saw the knife and took
it away from him, himself receiving
two slight cuts. Delaney tainted at
once. and DIR. Mohn was called in, and
stitched up the wound. The doctor
said that had it not been from the fact
that Delaney tainted, thus decreasing
the flow of blood, he would probably
have bled to death. Olson was i'm
mediately arrested and lodged in Jail,
and Thursday Mayor Daubney SEN
fenced him to Jail for twenty days for
drunkenness.

A REACTION ALREADY.
The Remarkable Free Silver Sentiment
Gradually Changing to Mckinley
and Sound Money.

A strong reaction is already set
ting in against the free and unlimited
coinage of silver vagary. The wild en-
thusiasm created at the Chicago con-
vention by the oratory of Mr.. Bryan is
not so very strange if we interpret it in
the light of the fact that the American
pie are radical and enthusiastic in their
which created such a stir in the con-
Arc' was the chief actor, furnishes
another illustration, for it produced
such scene as would rarely be seen in
any European country outside of Italy,
France or Spain. Moreover, when we
take into consideration another fact,
viz: that we are people who demand
frequent changes not only in politics
but in nearly, if not quite all other di-
rections, the otherwise unaccOuntable
attitude of the populists and their allies,
the silver dem ocrats, is measurally ex-
planned.
1t is not strange, therefore, i'm view
of these facts, that the white froth of
the "free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer" illusion should even at this early
day begin to pass away, and to reveal
underneath 1t the golden cream of
moral and financial integrity.
In personal letter from friend who
is a prominent business man of a
northern Nebraska town, and who has
been making a visit in western Iowa,
is contained the following con-
elusive evidence that the strong senti-
ment for free silver, even in Mr.. Bryan's
own state, is steadily changing, and
that many silverites, when informed as
to the actual situation, readily renounce
the doctrine of the pOpulists. He says:
81 thought that everybody had turned
over and began talking silver, but be-
fore came away could see that the
sentiment had changed greatly. That
is the case here, I think. Of course the
"pops" are in the majority, but they
seem to be studying the question and
many of them will vote for Mckinley
and sound money. 1 heard ''pop"
newspaper man say that in case Bryan
should be elected he could take his gold
dollar to any bank and exchange it for
sixteen silver dollars. Others think
that sixteen silver dollars will be coined
and put into circulation for every gold
dollar in circulation and in the reserve
These are the ideas they have now, and
I think that after little intelligent
discussion, they will be slow to risk
anything on the "boy orator of the
Platte"

TOADYISM AMONG AMERICANS.

1t is surprising that people who
have spent so many lives, so much
blood and treasure in the cause of free
dom, should still have such an insati-
able desire to ape royalty. Many of
the girls who have money enough pass
by men of merit in our own country, buy
title and marry dummy with boots
and spurs thrown in. This worship of
in the sickening fawning of the people
upon office holders. When will our
people learn that they are the sover-
eigns and that office holders, from the
highest to the lowest, are merely our
hired help and the higher the office
and greater the pay the less work to do,
giving theincumbent more time to hunt
and fish, with free transportation at
the expense of the government. Sup
pose responsible farmer should hire a
hand who had spent his life in work by
the day and after he had been engaged
for a year or two should suddenly be-
come instead of plain Bill Jones the
Hon. VIM. Jones; should wear q stove
pipe hat, sport a small cane, q brilliant
piece of paste in his shirt front, and
wear 8 yellow watch chain. And sup
pose that while the Hon. Jones was
taking his after dinner nap the farmer
or some of his family wished to inter
view him about crops, stock, etc., or
the farmer might want him to go to
work and he should send back word by
his servant that he was resting, and
wished not to be disturbed.
This, as the writer sees it, is bird IS
eye view of the position assumed by
prominent officials and who are no
more nor less than hired help. 1t is
gratifying to see that the people-the
bone and sinew of the land-are wax
ing up to a realizing sense of the re-
spOnsibility resting upon them. X.
