EGGS AND BULLETS.
Fired at Evangelist Frank Wells in
 Indian Territory.

PORTEAU, I. T., July 21.-Evange- list Frank Wells of Texas began a series of meetings here several days ago, which moved along well until last Saturday night, when four or five boys led by two married men, decided to break up the meeting by assaulting the evangelist with eggs while he was passing from the church to Hotel Austin. They missed their mark, but struck several ladies' Mrs. Dr. Green. an invalid, was badly hurt and had to be assisted home.
 Monday night following the boys made another attack, supposing the man to be Rev. Wells. But it was not. It was another man, who drew a six shooter and began firing. The boys yelled for dear life and ran away.
 These boys and men organized and decided to hang the preacher in effigy. This proved to be a greater failure than either of the former plans
 MT. Wells telegraphed for the United States judge at Cameron, and he is here with his deputies, and says he Will spare no trouble and expense to get the guilty parties. MT. Wells will hold several meetings in the territory, and Judge Harrison has promised to accompany him in his revival work when needed.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Adopts a New System of Debits and
 Credits.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-Man- ager J. A. Fillmore has decided to in- augurate new system of disciplining the employees of the operating depart ment of the Southern Pacific company. The new system is to be one of disci- pline by record, and debits and credits will be entered against the names of the employees as occasion requires.
 A bad record will eventually result in the dismissal of the employe. Good record, on the other hand, marked with credits for excellent conduct, deeds of heroism, loyalty, good judgment in emergencies, etc., will operate to the advantage of the employe
 The company is confident that the system will prove of great advantage alike to the company, the employe and to their families.

 ing Statement.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 21.-The trial of William Lamoreux and Frank Odell, charged with the murder of Jim Washable, grandson of the famous Shoshone chief, Washable, was con- tinued in the United States court.

She was being abducted by the defendants at the time when her husband followed the party and was a witness to the shooting by which he was killed. Her testimony, given through an interpreter, was extremely damaging to the cause of the defend ants.
 N. B. Kinnear, Wind river ranch man, at whose house the Indian Wash akie died week after he was shot, told of the dying declaration made by Washable. It was written by Kin near, after being interpreted from the Shoshone language, in which it was made by the dying man. Mrs. Kin near, a Shoshone woman, and Dick Washable acting as interpreters. When Jim Washable made his mark to the statement he lifted his head and looking upward, said: 1.-The Great Father knows that at this time I can tell no lie." The dying statement was produced in court and identified by Kinnear and several other witnesses who were present when it was made.

One OF the Few Truthful Politicians

Cincinnati. O., Oct. 3.-William
Jennings Bryan to day gave the fol
lowing signed statement concerning
the coming election:
j have no doubt of my election.
l base my confidence upon :he fact
that the free coinage sentiment IS
growing every day. The people are
studying the money question, and
the study of it is convincing the peo
pie generally that there can be no
permanent prosperity SO long as the
gold standard is maintained The
gold standard makes dearer dollar.
A dearer dollar means falling prices
and falling prices mean hard times.
The people who profit by hard times
are relatively so few in number that
they would amount to nothing at
ali, but for the fact that the, are
aided by a considerable number of
people, who, not having studied the
money question themselves. have re-
ceived instructions from few fnan-
ciers.
The number of republicans who
have declared for free silver out.
number the democrats who have de.
serted the ticket, and while the
number of silver republicans is in
creasing all the time, the number of
betting democrats is all the time de
creasing While I have no doubt as
to my election, 1 believe that
the advocat of free coinage
should work from now to
election day to make the majority
in the electoral college so large that
no party hereafter will ever dare to
propose submission to foreign
fpa' cial policy.
