OF A SAD TRAGEDY.
Former Attempts to Swim with

Caught by Weeds.

Occur d'Alene, Idaho, Aug. 3.-Artih-
Ger George f. Zilhoffer of Company c,
at Fort Sherman, and John Hart, the
l0-year-old son of Musician Hart of
Company f, were drowned in a small bay
opposite the fort Sunday evening while
in bathing Zillhofrer is about % years
of age, athletic and a good swimmer.
With the boy on his back he undertook
to swim the bay, which is about 80
yards in width. When two-thirds of
the way across the swimmers legs be-
came entangled in the long, why weeds
that grow in the bay, and the more ne
struggled to free himself, the tighter
he was held by the weeds. He soon
strangled, lost self-control, and sank be-
meath the surface, carrying the boy,
who was unable to swim, with him. A
young son of Lieutenant George stood
on the bank, Mortified spectator to the
involuntary tragedy that was taking
place in the water. He Immediately gave
the alarm, but the bay is on the oppo-
site side of the river from the post, max
ing it necessary to secure boats, cross the
river, and walk several hundred yards be
fore assistance arrived, the first person to
reach the bay being a son of DIR. Breche-
min, post surgeon, who partially disrobed
and sprang into the water, recovering the
body of the boy with great difficulty
and danger to himself. DIR. Brechemin
did all he could to bring the boy back to
consciousness, but he was beyond human
aid. The body of Zillhofrer was recovered
half an hour after that of the boy. The
double funeral took place this evening at
6 o'clock. The services were conducted
by Chaplain Bateman and the remains
were laid at rest in Fort Sherman ceme-

CONVICTED sPAuLDlNe AT LAST.
Took Three Trials to Send Ex-Dapk
President to Penitentiary.

Chicago, Aug. Charles w. Spauld-
ing, ex-president of the Globe Savings
bank, was found guilty of embezzlement
Saturday and his sentence was fixed
at Imprisonment in the penltentiary.
The specific charge against Spaulding
was the embezzlement of bonds of Ma
coupin county, ILL.,, belonging to the
state university of Illinois, of which
Spaulding was treasurer, and valued at
$4,000. This was Spaulding's third
trial, and the evidence submitted to
the jury was practically the same as
on the former trials. In those he was
acquitted because the jury believed he
hypothecated the bonds without I'm
tent to embezzlement."
The jury found him guilty on the
same grounds on which he was twice
acquitted, the only difference being that
they took the different view of Spauld-
ing's intentions. The prisoner took the
verdict very hard and sat with bowed
head while the clerk read the findings OF
the jury. He will make hard fight be
fore he goes to the penitentiary and will
carry the case up to the highest court.

NO STANDARD DOLLARS COINED.
The MINIS VIII he Busy This Month
Coming Accumulated Gold.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The monthly
statement issued by the director of the
mint shows that during July, 1897, the
coinage executed at the United States
minis amounted to $780, $50, as follows:
Gold, 1897 900; silver, $260,000; minor
coins, $23,S50. No standard silver dol
lars were coined. 1t is stated. however,
tnat there is no significance in this.
All of the minis were closed from Is to
20 days during July for repairs to ma
chinery and the annual overhauling, and
in consequence the coinage was unusually
light. In explanation of the fact that no
standard dollars were coined, it was said
that the supply on hand is sufficient for
all needs and, further, the stock of minor
coins has run very low. In order to meet
the present and prospective demands of
trade, the minis were occupied in coming
subsidiary silver and probably would so
contiue through the month of August. In
addition, there has accumulated large
stock of uncurrent subsidiary silver,
which must be recoined as promptly as
possible.
During the month of August the large
accumulation of gold bullion at San
Francisco, which now amounts to about
81 100000, will be worked off as rapidly
as the capacity of the mint will permit.
The coinage of standard silver dollars
probably will be resumed about Sep
tpmber |

Supreme Court Renders Decision
in n Spokane county Case.
Olympia, Wash, Aug. LIN the case
of Kizer, respondent, VS.. Garfield, ap-
pellant, from Spokane county, the SUI
preme court established a precedent in
matter for the first time brought be-
fore them. This was an action to fore
close mortgage in favor of the plain
tiff, and Garfield was made a party by
reason of a certain interest because
of the fact that he purchased the mort
gagged property at sheriff's sale Febru-
airy 3, 1898. This fact was admitted, but
respondent claimed there was no legal
or proper levy, and no taxes levied by
any authorized person. The lower
court found for Kizer, and appeal was
taken. The supreme court holds that
although the judgment be erroneous
and subject to correction on error or
appeal, it is not void, and having been
rendered by a court having jurisdiction
of the person and subject matter, the
title of a purchaser of property bought
at execution sale under such judgment
is not affected by such error.

LAW is DEMOCRACY.
IL stands for Equal Justice md Good
Order.


Mr.. Bryan performed beth a patriotic
and political duty in calling attention
in a recent speech to the democratic
position on the great questions which
are now fretting labor and causing
needless alarm in some unusually calm
minds.
After pointing out that the party took
strong ground in its last national plat
form against the too free and hasty use
of the restraining power by the courts,
Mr.. Bryan said: Those who have sug-
gested the burning Of property and the
destruction of life as a means Of settling
labor disputes do not understand the
genius of our institutions. The Ameri-
can pople are law-abiding. When the
laws are bad they change the laws"
In this observation the Nebraskan
gave expression to the conservative force
which is a guarantee of the perpetuity
of American institutions. That unfor-
tunate class OF persons who see danger
to these institutions in the acts of
judges who may interpret the laws un-
Justly or in the errors Of other officers
who may misuse their power. display,
as Mr.. Bryan says, a lack of understand
ing of the spirit and active force Of our
governmental machinery.
The ballot is in the hand Of every
American citizen above the age Of 81
years. He can use IL 10 correct every
abuse of power and every injustice i'm
posed by the strong upon the weak.
II it be government by injunction"
TO which he objects he can say 30 at the
polls II enough people agree that his
objection is well founded, the cause Of
complaint win be soon removed. The
party doctrine on this question was in
tended to emphasize the fact that this
is a government of the people and that
they have not only the right but also
the power TO apply the remedy to any
wrong use made of their machine by
those intrusted with its management.
The declaration is only in line with the
contentious and teachings of democracy
from the days OF Jefferson. There Is no
anarchy in democracy. There is moth
ing in its traditions or inits creed which
counsels violence for the correction Of
public or private wrong. There is Meth
ing but equal justice and good order in
democracy, and those who interpret its
character in airy other way do not un-
derstand the genius of the party of JET
ferson and Jackson.-St. Louis Repub.
