MCKINLEY AND SILVER.

AS William Mckinley. the gre at
protcctionist, is almost sure to receive
the nomination for President at the
Republican National Convention, his
views on the silver question have more
thou a passing interest to the people
or Nevada. In the Ohio campaign OF
1891, when he first ran for Governor,
his opponent was Governor Canspbel
who ran on platform that declared
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. In replying to an interview in
which Governor Campbell said "he
was willing to chance it on free coin
age" Mckinley in his opening speech
at Niles on August %, 1891, said:
Governor Campbell declared in one
OF his recent interviews that, while he
has doubts about it, he was willing to
chance the free and unlimited coinage
Of silver lam not willing to chance
it. We cannot gamble with anything
30 sacred as money, which is the
standard and measure of values. L
can imagine nothing which would be
more disturbing to our credit and
more ruinous to our commercial and
financial affairs than to make this the
dumping ground of the worlds silver.
The silver producer might be benefit
ted, but the silver user never. If
there is to be any profit in the coinage
of silver it should go to the govern
ment. 1t has gone to the government
ever since the Bland-Alllson law went
into effect. This new declaration
would take it from the government
and give it to the silver producer.
81 am in favor Of the double stand
ard, but | am not in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver in the
United States until the nations of the
world shall jain us in guaranteeing to
silver status which their laws now
accord to gold"

of which he was very proud. Some of
the enemy, when they saw their horses
giving out, had turned out of the road
and tried to escape through the fields.
Casey was far to the front when the
chase slackened. The Johnnies had also
checked up; some of them had faced
about. Casey, seeing two men in blue
overcoats across a field, rode up to
them. He saw his mistake when thew
told him to give up his arms and dis
mount. He hesitated, trying to look
over his shoulder to see if help was near.
Seeing none, he obeyed second sharp
command to dismount. The confeder-
ates, leading the horse, started toward
the road. Casey, excited. over the loss
OF his horse, was coming back on foot
across the field. Seeing sergeant, who
was trying to get the scattered men to-
gether. he called out as loud as his thin
voice would allow: Sergeant, those
DANCED rebels have got me horse The
sergeant, notwithstanding the orders
to fall back, called to two men near him
with: Let's get Casey's horse for him.
and started in pursuit. The confeder-
ates, seeing themselves crowded, let go
Casey's horse. The sergeant was lead
ing him back when Lieut. Lewis called:
Come back!' A squad of confederates
in blue overcoats had halted beyond
wide, shallow creek. The sergeant said:
Those men are rebels Lewis replied:
I want to bring those men back L
tell you they are rebels But he rode
through the stream and up the hill, call
ing out to the men to come back One
of them ordered him to surrender. He
quickly understood who they were then.
Wheeling his horse he came down the
hill and across the creek faster than he
had gone. A few shots were fred after
him, but he escaped unframed. AS he
rejoined the sergeant, who had watched
the whole affair, the latter said: I told
you those men were rebels so found

had cleared the main street one of our

porch of house. Chickens were pre-
cious, and he went after it. STOPPING,
he looked under the porch, and present
ly l heard him say: Come out of there,

linian in gray crawled out and stood up,
looking rather sheepish.
1.-THE soldier shouted again: Come out
of there, Johuny!' and another copfed-
crate emerged. This performance was
repeated until six of them stood in line.
They had not had time to get away, be-

town, and had only been able to crawl
under the porch. If it had not been for
the chicken they would have found
means of escaping later.

Peculiar Death,

Last Wednesday Nick Bauer, a
young man aged about 81 years living
near New Bavaria, went to Pleasant
Bend and became intoxicated. He
STARTED for home about 2 o'clock in
the afternoon and it is supposed
went to sleep and fell off the seat.
His head fell over the box of the bug
gy and struck on the wheel. The
horse knew the way home and upon
arriving there stopped in the barn
yard. The father, Peter Bauer, found
his son unconscious in the bottom of
the buggy and thinking him drunk
carried him into the house and put
him to bed. The next morning he
was still unconscious and the family
becoming alarmed sent for physi-
clan. Nothing could be done howev-
er to bring him to and he died Thurs
day afternoon from the blood rush
ing to his heart and sufficating him.
MFR. Bauer was a single man and lived
with his father one mile west of New
Bavaria. Funeral services were held
Saturday from the Reform church at
New Bavaria. His death cast q
gloom over the entire community.
