A NARROW ESCAPE.
An Attempt to Wreck Last Nights In
ternational Passenger Train.

A diabolcal attempt was made to
wreck the international and Great North
ern nerth-bound train n few miles this
side of San Antonio last night by some
fiend or fiends, at present unknown. Had
the attempt been successful the results
would have been frightful, as the train
was composed of thirteen coaches load
ed to the guards with Christian En-
deavor people returning from the con-
vention at San Antonio.
About twelve miles this side of San
Antonio the engineer observed what
seemed to be an obstruction ahead, and
Immediately applied the air brakes. The
speed of the train was thus somewhat
reduced before it crashed into the OBJ
struction, which proved to be number
of ties fastened into cattle guard:
Quite stretch of track was torn up and
the passengers were jolted about the cars
sufficiently to produce quite scare, but
this was about all the damage that re-
suited.
The train was delayed over two hours,
arriving here about . o'clock this morn

A Firm stand for silver.

The popular colored cartoon paper
Up-to-Date, which has heretofore been
neutral politically, in its present issue
announces to the world its purpose to
hereafter give it's pages heartily to the
cause of Bryan and bimetallism. This
Endorsement of the silver party is od
much Importance, since Up-to-Date is
high-class periodical, ably edited, and
has circulation of over 100000, ex-
tending to all parts of the country
Being conducted and edited by western
energy and brains it will no doubt
prove a worthy competitor of the east
ern goldbug cartoon papers, its present
circulation being greater than that Of
any other cartoon paper in the United
States. In the cause of American
financial independence and the election
of Bryan it will certainly prove pow
er and a vote winner.

The glorious results of this season s
harvest of golden grain will pour a
stream of sound money into the peck
cts of every Dakota farmer.
South Dakota has thousands of
acres of choice farming and ranch land
lying east of the Missouri river, and
within one days ride from Chicago OF
Milwaukee which can now be bought
reasonably cheap, but which before
the end OF another year may be adj
vanced in price.
The stock-raising industry in South
Dakota is profitable, and Eastern cap
ital is now being invested in cattle
and sheep growing in that state.
Diversified farming, the growing of
live stock, and the products of the
dairy, are placing South Dakota fore
most in the ranks of the successful
Western states.

chase land, are requested to cores

Bryan Tells What He said In speech

Bryan Tells What He said In Speech
in 1891.
Mr.. Bryan in recent speech, said:
"And in 1891, on the 18th day of Feb
ruary, in Memorial hall. at Toledo, o..
at the Lincoln day banquet, the pres
ent candidate for president upon the
republican ticket used the words
which ] shall now read to you. have
found these words published in a To
ledo paper, and they have been pub
lished so long without correction that
we may safely assume that he was cor
rectly reported.
"These are the words which he is
said to have used: During all OF
Grover Cleveland's years at the head
of the government he was dishonor'
ing one of our precious metals, one OF
our great producers, discrediting sill
yer and enhancing the price of gold
He endeavored even before his inaugu-
ration to office to stop the coinage oil
silver dollars, and afterward, and to
the end of his administration, persist
emily used his power to that end. He
was determined to contract the circu-
lating medium and demonetize one OF
the coins of commerce, limit the vol
ume of money among the people, make
money scarce and therefore dear. He
would have increased the value of every
thing else-money the master, every
thing else the servant
Following these same lines the re-
publican convention in 1892 declared at
Minneapolis that the American peo-
pie from tradition and interest were in
favor of bimetallism. That is the
language Of 1s92-that the American
people from tradition and interest are
in favor of bimetallism. Have tradi-
tions changed in four years? Have in.
terests changed in four years? No, my
friends, and yet, forgetting the plat
form of 1883, forgetting the denuncia-
ton uttered by their distinguished
leader in 1891, forgetting the platform
of 1892, the republican party in con-
vention assembled declared that the
American people must forego the adj
vantage of the bimetallic system to
which tradition and interest endeared
them until foreign nations should bring
those advantages to them"

Mckinley says that we can make a
tariff law and all other laws for our
own country without consulting any
other government, but on q coinage
law we must have an international
agreement"
In all of his speeches from in front Of
his residence he has not declared that
he is in favor of submitting the tariff
question to an international agreement,
but is in favor of submitting the finan-
cial affairs of this country. A manly
American would resent foreign inter-
ference in any legislation intimately
affecting his country.
