Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as a money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue OF money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and a
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, news
paper which the combined power of
money has failed to muzzle or buy.

TALE OF A TALL HAT.
How n Scotch bridegroom Turned n
Trick on One OF the Guests.

How n Scotch bridegroom Turned n
Trick on One OF the Guests.
At Scotch weddings some years ago
it used to be the custom to batter the
hat of the bridegroom as he was leay-
ing the house in which the ceremony
took place. On one of those occasions,
says the London Weekly Telegraph,
newly married couple (relatives of the
bridegroom determined to carry out
the observances of this custom to the
letter. The bridegroom heard them dis
cussing their plans and dispatched n
messenger to the carriage, which was
waiting. with his hat some time previ-
Gus to his departure. Then, donning
the hat of male relative who had plot
ted against him, he prepared to go out
to the carriage. No sooner had he got
10 the door than his hat was furiously
assaulted and almost destroyed. He
walked out of the house amid the
laughter Of the bystanders and entered
the vehicles then, taking the battered
hat from his head, he threw it into the
hands of its proper owner, exclaiming:
"Hey, Mr.. Dougall, there's your hat"
and donned his own, amid the cheers
of all present. Mr.. Dougall was the un-
happiest looking man in Scotland for
some time after that

MFRS. MARTIN wEINGARTL DIS
CHARGES A BULLET FROM A
BIG REVOLVER
RIGHT INTO HER LEFT BREAST
TORE IT'S WAY THROUGH HER
LUNG AND LODGED IN THE
BACH.
SHE DIDN'T LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS.
Some Little Domestic Trouble Be
lieved to Have Led the Woman
to Attempt Suicide

Mrs. Mary Weingartl, little frail
looking woman who lives with her hus-
band, Martin Weingartl, at AZ West
Fairfield avenue, became discouraged
at the turn her domestic affairs had
taken, and last night attempted to end
her tired life by discharging the con-
tents Of one barrel Of an old-fashioned
thirty-eight caliber revolver into her
left breast. That she did not die IN
stantly from the shock itself is little
short Of miraculous. AS it is, she did
not lose consciousness, and even in her
pain refuses to say aught against her
husband, whose Indifference to her Is
alleged by the neighbors to have been
the cause Of her attempt to end her
existence.
Last night Mrs. WeingartI, whom her
neighbors say Is a good, patient, hard
working little woman, who does MILL
merry work and washing, both at home
and ON this side Of the river, sat down
to a modest supper with her husband,
who has been out Of work since he
quit the employ two weeks ago of the
st. Paul Roofing and Ornamental cem-
pany. At the end Of the meal Vein
gartl went into the front room and
picked up a newspaper. His wife, who
had been washing the dishes In the
kitchen, entered the room and taking
up pad Of paper said she intended
writing to her parents. He picked up
his hat and started to tell her that he
was going out. She faced him for a
moment and picked up from the table
the revolver which she must have TAX
en- from it's place in the washstand
drawer, and, aiming it at her left
breast, pulled the trigger, remarking:
TITS getting so now that am pretty
nearly supporting you, so here goes"
Her husband jumped to catch her
and, with the aid of Mrs. Golfers, a
neighbor, who was attracted by the
shot, carried her to her bed and some
one was sent for DR.. Hawkins. The
doctor found that the ball had entered
the left breast little above and to
the left Of the nipple, had ploughed
through the left lung and lodged some
where in the lower part Of the back.
The woman suffered considerably from
the shock, and DR.. Hawkins deemed
it unwise to probe for the ball. The
wound was dressed and stimulants adj
ministered to the unfortunate woman,
who, even in her weakened condition
Z talked to the neighbors who surround
ed her bed. Asked by reporter for the
q l o b for some reason for her act,
Mrs WeingartIs said that. she some
times had little trouble, but was pos
sibly too quick tempered and regretted
her rash act.
- Her husband, who seemed consider
ably upset by the shooting, could as
sign no cause for his wife's wish to erd
her life and said that they two had
lived happily together for ten years.
Father Kotouc, of St. Matthew'S
church, administered final sacranents
to the woman, although Dr. Hawkins,
seen later, expressed the opinion that
since the shock had not caused death,
Mrs. Weingartl had fighting chance
for her life. She is thirty Weight years
old and OF comely appearance.

URI LAMPREY AND MRS. WILLIAM
BICKEL PRESENT THEMSELVES
AS SURETIESs
FORMER WAS ACCEPTABLE
BUT THE LATTER UNCERTAIN
ABOUT THE TITLE TO HER
PROPERTY.
Another BOndsman VIII Accordingly
BE Procured, Meanwhile Bickel
Remains In Jail.

| William F. Bickel spent another night
| In the county jail. He endeavored to
secure his release on bail, but was I'M
successful.
Shortly after o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon Mr.. Bickel appeared before
Judge Lewis, in court room No. 1. pre-
pared to furnish a bond. The sureties
presenting themselves were Mrs. Eliza
| A. Bickel, the mother Of William f..
Bickel. and Uri Lamprey.
The bail was fixed at $500. Mr.. Lam
| prey was first sworn and examined as
to his property qualifications. Mr..
Lamprey testified that he owned several
Thousand acres Of unencum bered real
estate in Otter Tail and other counties.
The court accepted Mr.. Lamprey as a
| surety.
Mrs. Bicke1 was not accepted. Upon
| the stand, Mrs. Bickel said that the
homestead property on Ninth street,
which was mortgaged for $500, stood
i'll her name, but she was not positive
| that it did not also stand in the name
| of her husband. Mrs. Bickel was in
a similar state of doubt as to her own
ership of some SIS acres Of land, known
as the Forest lake property, that is she
could not recall whether she was the
sole owner or owned it jointly with her
husband.
Attorney Barnard, representing Mr..
bond, inasmuch as Mr.. Lamprey had
shown himself to be eminently qualified
to serve as a surety. In reply, Judge
| Lewis said:
$50 far as any personal consider
ations are concerned, the court would
| be very glad to do so-in fact to re-
quire no bond but in view Of the law
and requirements Of our office. it hardly
seems to the court that the bond is
sufficient for the purpose for which it
was designed, especially the surety
certain as to the present state of the
title Of the property at Forest lake and
the homestead. I think you had better
offer another surety
Court then adjourned for a recess Of
five minutes, during which Attorney
Barnard sought to find another surety,
but failing to secure one, Judge Lewis
! continued the matter until 10 a. M, and
Mr.. Bickel was conducted back to the
| Jail.
| Barney Ryan, who, with Patrick Con-
ley, is on the $4,000 bond given by Mr..
Bickel under the Hulda Peterson in
| dictment, was in the corridor outside
Of the court room yesterday, while Mr..
| BickePs bond was under consideration.
AS soon as Judge Lewis announced that
| the bond would not be accepted, Mr..
Ryan departed.
