worth today, 10 attend the preliminary

Dover, n. H., April "a Kelley had a
very good rest last night and this morn

hearty breakfast. It was the first good
meal he las enten since he was captured,
and he appeared TO enjoy It, About 2 80
O'Clock he changed his prison clothes and
donned White shirt, corduroy vest, light
trousers, black coat ana black oyercoat,
ana wore the gray soft felt hat which he
bought in Milton on the day of the muir
der. he was driven 20 Somersworth at
o'clock In company with Sheriff Hayes
ana the other officers. On tho way over
he was very quiet The only words he
spoke during the whole trip of five miles
were: :" cannot believe that commit
ted the crime" He returned TO Dover
from Somersworth at 10 10 o'clock and
was Immediately dressed in prison garb
ana placed III the revolving cell. Kelley
appeared to have perfectly regained his
oomposure, and the only evidence of his
breaking down at the hearing was "A
slight redness and swelling about the
eyes. As soon as he entered his cell he
asked II be might send TO his boarding
house at Berwick and get some of his
things. This request was granted and
he wrote to Mrs. Wilkinson, his landlady,
stating that he wanted his small clock,

An Organization Of Mountain Climb.
ers to Ascend Mount Rainier

ers to Ascend Mount Rainier
The famous Mazama club, which takes
its name from a peculiar goat discov.
cred 200 years ago by Spanish settlers
along the North Pacific coast, is COM
posed Of 200 members, 75 Of whom are
women. This club was organized In
July, 1894, on the summit of Mount
Hood, in Oregon. The principal objects
of its organization are the exploration
Of snow peaks and other mountains, es-
pecially. of the Pacific west; the collec-
ton Of scientific knowledge and other
data concerning the same; the preser-
walton Of the forests and other features
Of mountain scenery in their natural
beauty. and the dissemination of knowl-
edge concerning the beauty and gram
deur of the mountain scenery of the
west. No one Is admitted to member
ship who has not actually climbed a
mountain capped by perpetual SHOWS.
The members of the club will leave
Portland, Ore, July 10TH, for the ex-
press purpose of climbing to the summit
of Mount Rainier, in Washington state.
Twelve scientific men from the national
capital, representing the various de-
partments of the government, will ac-
company them. The weather bureau
has sent instruments to be used in fly
ing kites from the summit of the noun
tain, and Gilbert T. Woglom of New
York city has volunteered to fly his
kites and take aerial photographs He
iiographlc observations will be taken,
and by the aid Of kites the American
flag will fly from a greater height than
The herald., 1897-05-26

our national emblem was, ever flown
before. With the heiiographs, commu-
nication will be had with Portland, Ia
coma and Seattle. Altogether, it Is ex-
pected to make the expedition one of
great scientific value to the world at
large. The party will be accompanied
by J. c. Russell of the geological survey
who has succeeded thus far in reaching
the highest point attained on Mount
St. Elias. They will also entertain the
members Of the Appalachian Mountain
club OF Boston, who, in company with
Prince Louis of Savoy, will attempt the
ascent of Mount st. Elias in June,
Albert E. Yerex Of the law firm Of
Yerex & Meyers, this city, is full

From Our Regular CORRESPONDENT.

SALTPETER WOULD NOT SAVE THEM.
Probably the firm referred to in the
following clipping knew just where
they were drifting, no matter how ma
tional politics ran, but they used it as
a bugaboo to frighten people all the
same. The Labor Journal says:
The firm of Knowles & Poole, shoe
manufacturers, OF Pittsfield, N. H., who
informed their employees that business
would be suspended if Bryan was elected,
have made an assignment for the benefit
of creditors for SIS, 900.
They could probably have informed
their employees that suspension was
just as probable, if Bryan was defeated,
but with the perversity that charac.
terizes frail humanity they made their
misfortune stepping stone for their
party associates to cross over to the
promised land. Very little sympathy
can be accorded to such purblind poll
ticians when adversely claims them for
victims.

INDIAN HosTILITIEs. A Denver
(Col.), dispatch of Monday states that
the Cheyenne Indians have gone on
the warpath and killed dozen men
including five U. S. soldiers. These
Indians have no reservation, but make
Lame Deer Agency their headquarters.
A sheep herder was lately killed by
them for the reason that he caught
several of them stealing sheep. The
presence of two companies of colored
cavalry from Custer does not seem to
have quelled the war spirit, for two
citizens and five cavalrymen were
killed, and it was reported that they
had sixty armed cowboys surrounded.
At this juncture the deputy sheriff was
ordered off the reservation by Capt.
Stouch, military command, who OBJ
jected to arrest of the Indian murder
ers for fear that it would incite to
further trouble. The deputies OBJ
tanned at Miles City warrants for ar
rest of Capt. Stouch for interference
with an officer in discharge of his duty
and the apprehension of the Indian
murderers. A Winnipeg dispatch of
the same date states that four Indian
murderers, including the desperate
Almighty Voice have been killed at
Duck Lake by the Prince Albert Vol.

The Issue Clearly Defined.

The keynote of true Democratic
sentiment was struck by the State
Central Committee Of Ohio, which
met at Columbus lately and issued a
call for Il State Convention to be held
in that city, on June Goth and 30th.
The Chilacothc AdreHiser, from which
We quote, states that much interest
was manifested i'll the coming contest,
and that all parts of the State were
represented by prominent Democrats,
to counsel for an active campaign.
The call, in fixing the eligibility of
delegates, states
/. All who vote for VIM. j. Bryan
for President OF the United States.
,. All other persons who are now in
accord with the position of the Demo
cratic party as set forth i'll the Demo-
cratic platform adopted in Chicago.
July 9th, 1896 and especially those who
favor the free and unlimited coinage of
of both gold and silver at the present
legal ratio of IL to |, without waiting for
the aid of consent of any other nation,
and who, if called on, at the time of
offering to participate in the selection of
delegates, publicly pledge themselves
to support said declarations and we here
by invite all such to testify their devo-
ton to the cause OF the people by taking
part in the selection OF such delegates.
In this connection it is well to note
that the National Republican League
has served notice on the League in the
Western silver States that the dele.
gates to the National Republican Con-
vention, to be held at Detroit, in July,
must be in accord with the party
platform adopted at st. Louis.
This shows that the issue on cur
rency will be we'll defined in future
contests, and that all true friends of
silver must act with the party that
has made it its leading issue.
