A MONKEY FOND OF BEER.
He Belonged to n Chicago Barber
and Leared TO Rush the GrOwIer.


From the New York Sun.
Chicago. Aug. PA large number of
residents in the stock yards district have
been plunged into grief by the death Of
one who had long contributed to their fun
and enjoyment. This was a monkey call
ed Jocko, who, on reaching the venerable
age of 10. had passed away quietly and
peacefully.
Jocko was South American monkey Of
a large breed While very young he was
kidnapped by band OF sail
ors. brought to New Orleans,
ana offered for sale. Frank
Bradfsh, a German barber, bought him
at a bargain and christened him. A few
months later they Travelled together to
Chicago. Here Bradhsh opened a barber
shop on Forty-fifth street, near Wallace,
and kept Jocko in a hack room for the
amusement of his customers.
Across the street from the shop was
saloon kept by a man named Lynch. The
thirst inherited from his German ances-
tors caused Bradfsh to make regular
trips to the saloon, and for safety's saks
he always took JockO along with him. It
dtd not take Jocko long to learn the ropes.
soon he walked proudly by his masters
side. carrying the pail that held the foam

ance bought the beer himself
one day when business was brisk Brad
FISH handed the pail and money to Jocko
and conducted him to the door. lie
paused there and JOcko seemed to GRASP
the situation, for he rushed across the
street into the saloon and handed his pail
and money to the bartender. The latter
Allied the pail and looked toward the door,
expecting 10 see Bradfsh follow Jocko N.
But no Bradhsh came, and Jocko grabbed
the nail and raced back to the barber
shop with il, to the huge delight Of all
This was the first of many trips. Jocko

What do you now think of the 'tstock

are now together. did they come to you,
or did you go to thenf?
1t 1878 you denounced the conspiracy
to destroy silver as a gigantic crime"
Did you ever withdraw that language
before entering the cabinet? You then
said that "the consummation Of the
scheme would ultimately entail more
misery upon the human race than all
the wars, pestilences and famines that
ever occurred in the history of the
world" Do you now think the free coin
age OF silver could do any more damage
than that? Your record challenges you
to joint debate, will you accept? Are
you willing to take up your speech Of
1878 and answer it, one proposition at a
time? If you are, you will silence those
who doubt your sincerity and question
your motives. If you are not willing to
face your own arguments and overcome
them, you cannot complain if your OPP

a guilty conscience. Yours truly.

Say, You Democrat.

Say, democrats!
We mean democrats who have
sense.
What do you mean?
Why don't you stand on your own
platform and fight us?
Why don't you stand on what you
have done and strike square from the
shoulder?
What do you want with our cranky
Is to 1 plank?
What do you want with our income
tax plank?
What do you want with our thunder?
What in thunder do you want with
it?
If you want on u platform step on
to it like men to help us; not like pi-
rates to steal our principles and deliy-
er tried and true champions of silver
into the hands Of deadliest foes-foes,
who in the pride and arrogance Of a
beastly majority disgraced silver, stop
ped its coinage and rendered its pro-
duction worse than profitless.
You did it-made your own record
made IT a dot or lnlQulty.
Stand by it-defend your acts-or
cease to stab and strangle truth.
This is no child's play.
To save this republic will require
wisdom, honor, patriotism and nerve
Of steel.
Have you got those things by you?
If so, why didn't you send them to
congress; why didn't you give us a
president instead of a stuffed fraud?
It's because you could not.
Plutocracy is in your midst and on
top of you. 1t furnishes you with your

TO be square men, you must come
out from the den Of thieves and place
yourselves upon a platform which no
robber can endorse; and you must quit
fighting those who got on the platform
before you.

Beyond Recognition,

DUBOIS, Pa, March pa terrific OK
plosion of gas occurred at the Berwind-
White shaft in the eastern limits of the
city and II miners were killed.
The mine is now one which the
company has been opening up and work
ing crews in shafts to push the headings
ont in various directions for big work
later on. Eighteen men went on at q
o'clock, Id going into the north heading
and four into the south heading.
At about 10 o'clock the four men were
sensible of shock, and few minutes
later the mine boss came to them and
told them something had happened, and
that they should get out rs soon as they
could. When the party, then consist
ing of five, reached the foot of the shaft
they were nearly overcome by gas and
were hurriedly taken up in tho cage,
Assistance was Immediately sum-
moned and practical miners from the
Bell Lewis and Yates company mines
volunteered their services. As the work
of rescue proceeded it was found that
the shock III the north heading was so
terrific that some of the bodies were
mutilated almost beyond recognition.
Nearly all of the bodies had been found
at p. M, but up to that time they had
only been brought to the foot of the
shaft, where they were collected pre-
paratory to being hoisted to the surface.
