Robert Mante1l and His Talented Com
pany P1eases Small Audience.
Robert Mantell, who has been known
to the play goers of America for the
past twelve years as star in the. line
of romantic acting, appeared at Rhode
opera house Saturday evening and
gave a production of "The Secret
Warrant" in a very satisfactory man.
ner. The fact that the house was only
about half filed was great disap
pointment to the lovers of the legiti-
mate drama in this city.
Mr. Mantell assumed the character
of Louis De Beaumont, captain of
the kings guard, and he gave it such
touch of real life that it made the
story exceedingly interesting. Mr..
Mantell is fortunate. to have as his
leading lady Miss Charlotte Behrens,
who assumed the role of Marguerite
Bertrand. The splendid stage APP
pearance of Miss Behrens, together
with her vivacious manner won her
warm friends early in the evening.
The work of Harry keenan, as CASTOR
and Stuart Robertson as Henry De st.
Victor also deserve special notice. The
costumes of the actors were a special
feature and added much to the interest
of the play.

ROME was-not built in a single night
although it required less than week
for Nero to almost utterly destroy it.
It must needs be some time before
financial system based on credit can
recover from so severe a shock as ours
has recently experienced. The free
silver scare was, with its immediate
results, alone able to undo much that
it had taken years to accomplish. The
present state of affairs is, therefore.
f1attering to the republican admins
ton when considered in the light of
conditions just past. Consequent upon
the election of President Mckinley,
and in evidence of restored confidence
trade Immediately loosened and money
moved much more freely. This was
manifest both in government reports
and bank clearings. The gold reserve
has felt no strain like that of year
and a half ago, but has, on the con-
trary, steadily increased and without
artificial aid. The bank clearings
show a growing business, significant
of q general revival of trade. Other
evidences of improved conditions are
found in the railroad reports, the
opening of new industries, the rise in
prices and increased wages. Accord
ing to statistics the number of business
failures throughout the United States
is rapidly diminishing. Though not
entirely, these evidences of prosperity
are largely the results Of a feeling of
security brought out by the assurance
that our currency would not be the
object of reckless experiment.
Notwithstanding the statements of
its enemies to the contrary, the effects
of the Dingley law, as visible during
the last four months, are gratifying in
the extreme. 1t was launched in the
face of exceedingly adverse conditions,
resulting from the enormous importa-
OIOuO JuSU plAO1 W 1CO OnoOCuIOuUs
The statistics on imports at the port OF
New York clearly show that while the
imports tor the last four months are
less than the same time ast.year, those
for the months since January, are far
in excess of the preceding year. This
is the effect of the vast shipments in
anticipation of the law. In spite Of
this, however, it began with treasury
receipts $19,O23,614, in the second
month $21, 1886, O98, in tho third month
$24, 291 ,415, and in the fourth month
$25, 100000, thus redeeming the prom
ises of its friends that as business
approached normal conditions it would
increase it's earnings until it would
supply. ample revenue for the running
expenses of the government.

HAD HIS HAND SHOT OFF.
Chicago Man Meets With Horrible Acct
| dent While Hunting at Twin Lakes

dent While Hunting at Twin Lakes.
4 horrible accident occurred Mon
day at Twin Lakes which caused
Joseph Klock to be MANNED for life.
The circumstances of the accident
were brought to this city this morning
as follows: Joseph Klock and family
moved to Twin Lakes from Chicago a
few weeks ago to spend the winter in
one of Mrs. Lovejoy's cottages about
tie lakes. On Saturday :the unfortu-
nate Klock purchasedssa shot gun and
on Monday decided to try it. He went
several miles awayI from home, and
after hunting awhile he started to re-
turn home. On his wayne was forced
to climb fence, and in order to- do it
he laid the gun downgon the ground
near the fence. After he was over the
fence he attempted to pull the gun
through a hole in the fence, taking
hold of the barrellwith the left hand.
In some manner the hammer of the
gun was cooked, and striking piece
of the rail of the fence the gun was
discharged, the entire load striking
Klock in the right arm just above the
wrist. The hand and a part of the
wrist were almost completely severed
by the explosion. When he got home
doctor was at once summoned and it
was found necessary to amputate the
arm at the elbow. The familyiare very
poor and County Agent Gonnermann
was notified Tuesday morning that it
would be a necessity for the county to
provide medical assistance for the in
jured man and some support for the
family. Klock is spoken of as a good
natured, hard working man, and this
serious accident is greatly lamented by
his friends and neighbors.

The Presidents Message.

1t is notable that the conjectures
made prior to the publication of Presi-
dent Mckinley S message on the proba-
BILE spirit of that document were for
the most part correct. Owing to Mr..
McKinley's consistency and the dis
tinct stand he has invariably taken on
all the questions involved in the mes
sage, it was no difficult task to forecast
his suggestions. On the whole, there
fore, his first paper to congress is up to
the public expectation and satlsfac-,
tory production. In the matter o.
currency reform he agrees in all essen.
tial points with Secretary Gage. lie
emphasizes the great evils arising from
the continued issuance of bonds and
redemption Of greenbacks, reaffirming
that sucha procedure constituted the
socalled enless chain, which has been
sapping the financial energy of the
country by perpetually drawing gold.
from the nations treasury. He eX-
pressed himself as favorable to Mr..
Cages recommendation that national
banks be allowed to issue notes to the
face value of the bonds which they
have deposited for circulation and that
the tax on circulating notes secured
by deposit of such bonds be reduced to
one-half of one per cent. per annum;
that the authority be given for the
establishment of national banks with a
minium capital of $4,000, and that
the issue of national bank notes be
restricted to the denomination of $lO
and upward. On the Hawaiian ques-
ton, as on that of the currency reform,
President Mckinley has assumed
definite position and presents a clear
cut policy. His message leaves no
doubt in the mind of the reader that
the president strongly favors the an
nexation of the islands and that such
legislation will soon be consumated.
On Cuba, however, he speaks more
conservatively. This will undoubtedly
meet with considerable opposition, as
he openly advises cautious treatment
of this subject, and hints that congress
had best leave that question in the
hands of the executive. He questions,
avon in Cuha's regard. the advisability
of intervention which would result in
her independence, and then goes on to
show that Spain has exerted herself to
conciliate this country, and that Cuba
has not the qualifications recommend
ing her as belligerant.
Whatever action congress may take
in this direction it is certain that their
work will be tempered by the safe and
conservative spirit of the chief execu-
tive.
