Candidate Frank keeps himself SO far
away from the daily newspapers That but
little of what he is telling the Eastern
farmers leaks out. But once in while
we get an inkling of his teachings. In
one Of mis- speeches in Aroostook, accord
ing to one of the weekly papsrs, he pro-
posed some sort of a combination between
the United States and Mexico, and the
passage Of law by our Congress fixing
the price ef silver at S1.29 an ounce.
"And thus" said Mr.. Frank, 1--WE
should hold it there against the world. +"
No doubt Congress can Tx the price OF
silver at 81. 29 an ounce by offering to pay
that amount of money for all that is
offered, and as long as it continues to
buy the silver presented to it it can keep
silver at that price. But that Is the only
way in which it can 90 so. The market
price Of silver today is 6S cents an ounce,
and at this valuation there are about
$l41, $50, 900. 900 worth of it in the world.
If Congress will pay 81. 90 an ounce for
it it can raise it all to that valuation.
This would involve an expense to our
government of only about So, 800, 900. 600.
but mere bagatelle like that should not
be considered an obstacle to the glorious
work Of raising silver to parity with
gold.

Eicyclcrs' Bruises.

The moro common injuries OF bicycle
riders are sinrlo coutusions, says The
American Cyclist A bruisc or confusion
consists of an injury 10 the tissues in
which the small blood vessels have been
broken, allowing the escape of blood into
the flesh and under the skin. Can IL bc
obtained, the very best treatment for n
bruisc Is With water as hot IA can be
borne and a lttlo hotter than the patient
usually thinks necessary. Curiously
enough when hot water is not obtainable,
the next Rest treatment is cold water. Tho
dispute between hot and cold water in tho
treatment of such injuries has arisen from
a lack of knowledge OF tho fact that both
are good, though we are strongly OF the
opinion that hot water is better than cold.
II there Is great pain, the clothing may he

Willie Chace Assaulted by
W. B. Davis.
Wrinkle In Formers Clothing
Prevented Murder.
A Trial OF Great Interest---N0tes
Gathered at North End.

William q. Davis of West River street,
though but - years old, has already ac-
qnired a reputation as a bold bad boy,
and last night he used razor on William
Chace, lad about s years old, and mar
rowly escaped cutting the jugular vein OF
the latter.
The Chace lad was ut home with his
mother and a young sister and Davis
went there and thew mis- arm around
the boys neck and pushed tie edge of
the razor, which WAS keen one, through h
the starcRed shirt waist that Chace wore.
1t was wrinkle la the cloth near the
collar OF the waist that turned the edge
of the razor and left only a slight scratc n
on the boys neck. The cat-ltke moye-
ment of Davis prevented Mrs. chace from
discovering what had been done until
the assailant of her son had got away,
and then she informed the police and
officer j. L. Flynn invest igatsd the affair,
which took place about y o'clock.
Davis has been in many scrapes be-
fore the one at Mrs. Cbace's house at Ill
West River street last evening. A couple
of months ago II is.stated he robbed q
young lad on the highway after knock
ing him down with stone and threw
the knife found on the boy that was
robbed into The yarn OF the boys home
that he tried last night to badly injure.

IL accused of ooirg arc the tearing OF
the clothing of N girl just TO annoy her
and the stoning OF the mem bers of quiet
home while they were eating their even
ins.meal, aud more than one OF the in
nocent dwellers came near being seri-
ously hurt.
Mrs. Davis, the boys mother, is a
widow and she has begged her boys
freedom when charges were made against
HIM and many times promised to send
him to some State school where he might
have a chance to reform. She never kept
anv OF these promises. and now the boy
Will be prosecuted and put in a place
where he will be kept from doing further
harm to the peaceful people of has
nelg hborhood. The STORY OF Davis act
last night created coDsidera bic excite
ment when IL became known.
Davis was arraigned in the Sixth Dis
trict Court this morning on charge of
assault with a dangerous weapon, plea ded
not guilty and was held in the sum OF
$500 for trial on next Tuesday.

anyone else but Wanskuck resident in
the court room tomorrow. The dought
politician says he never yet showed the
