SHOCKING DEPRAVITY.
Another Overharling of the Silver
lock rIarSiOn.

Dan Healy, officer of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
has unearthed another case that calls
for action. Sheriff Johnson has made
him a Deputy, and armed with his new
authority he is roofing about among
dens of squalor and crime.
Yesterday he found an old woman,
sick and alone in the place lately oc-
cupied by the Silverlock family, and
he says she is a most pitiful object. The
old woman is named Jeffries and the
mother of Mrs. Coachman, now in the
County Jail. The latter's daughter is
supposed to be looking after the old
woman but is too busily engaged in
her debaucheries to pay much attention
to her.
Chief Drew has decided to have Mrs.
Jef1ries removed to-day to the County
Hospital.
The young woman, who is about 20
years OF age. has child less than a
year old. She is in the habit of spend
ing much of her time on river scows,
and when she does go home she is gen
orally escorted by hobos who manage
to get beer and drink it there.
The child has little or no sustenance
except what it's beer-soaked mother oc-
casionally imparts to it by natures pro-
cess for infants, anu AUS quality may
easily be imagined. When visiting her
river boathouse friends, it is said the
woman sometimes takes the little one
by the feet and souses it in the river to
punish it for interrupting the orgies
with it's cries.

mean to say that the farmers gathered

No. No. They have earned the epi-

they menace law and order, not be-
cause they are going to inaugurate in
justice, but because they say, Thou

FOR PROTECTION.
Lively Meeting of the Ninth Ward
rlckiniey Club.

The Ninth Ward Mckinley Club held
a meeting at it's headquarters at TWen-
tieth and 0 streets last night. There
was a good attendance and much inter-
est was manifested.
The meeting was called to order by
DR.. F. NJ Shields. The other officers
present were Vice-President A. l..
Frost, Secretary r. w. Parker, Treas
urer N. j. Toll and Corresponding Sec
retary Silas Chance.
After reading and approving the min
utes of the previous meeting, an hour
was devoted in discussing club topics.
Coco. Bates made a speech, saying he
felt a deep interest in the campaign and
hoped to see the club increase until, in
stead of the 100 names now enrolled,
there would be 800. He was an out-and-
out Mckinley man, believed IN protec-
ton and was against free silver. He re-
membered when silver was at discount
some twenty years or more ago. he
lived in Sacramento and was in busi-
ness. He employed ten or fifteen men,
and when Saturday night came he took
his gold. went to the bank and bought
denreciated silver coin with which to
raw them. other people did it, and If
free silver carried they would do it
again.
A. L. Frost thought that no reasona-
BILE man could read McKinley's letter of
aceptance and not be convinced.
VIM. Cranley said he had fought for
his country under Major Mckinley. He
was a true standard-bearer, and would
aeain lead his party to victory and re-
ctore r,roSperity
Mr. Breddie thought free silver the
most deceptive of issues. Silver would
sink to it's bullion value, and all the leg
islative bodies in the world, without in
| ternational agreement. could not pre-
vent it.
Henry Heilbron saw much that was
encouraging in the present outlook.
Drumers from the East, who four years
a go reported that everyone was talking
| cleveland, said that to-day it was all
Mckinley. The silver mines, as he un-
derstood it, were largely owned by Eng
lish capitalists. They are the men who
would reap the harvest if free silver
prevailed. AS fast as they coined their
silver they would exchange it for gold,
which would be shipped to England.
What people want is a chance to earn
both silver and gold, but some people
are so infatuated with the free silver
boom that they imagine they would yet
find silver dollars floating in the air.
The club concluded to hold regular
meetings each Friday night at 1:3O
o'clock. transparency bearing the
name of the club will be placed in front
! of it's quarters.
