Horrible Tragedy.

FRESNO. Cal, April pa triple
tragedy was enacted early this mor
ing at Redbanks, prne miles north OF
Sanger, tue result Of which is
that Mrs. John Qualls and her
daughter Lulu are dying and their
assailant, james Brooks, is dead.
Brooks vas formerly employed as a
laborer ON Qualls' ranch. but was
discharged for p~ersistently making
love to Miss Lulu. much to her an.
noyance. Email. Brooks threatened
to shoot the mother and daughter
unless the latter promised to marry
him. For this Brooks was sentenced
to six months in the county Jail, but
before the expiration Of the sentence
was released upon bonds furnished
bp Qualls, Brooks promising not to
trouble the girl again. Brooks then
secured work at another ranch ten
miles from Qualls, but instead Of
going to his new place, Brooks ap-
peared at Qualls at two this morning
armed with a Ratchet and a shot
gun.
Quail was absent in the noun
tains. and Lulu, hearing a noise,
rose. TO be confronted by Brooks, who
told her to say her prayers as she
must die. Her cutlery aroused Mrs.
Qualls, at whom Brooks fired, and
the old lady fell shot through the
breast. He then shot the girl, the
discharge almost severing her right
arm from her body. He then pro-
ceeded to finish the work Of killing
his victim, with the hatcht. but final

The Gold Democrats.

Chairman Jones takes a very sem
sible view of the future Of that di-
minutive political class known as
"Gold Democrats" That they will
continue as an independent political
organization he does not for a mo.
mept believe. "Some of them" he
remarks, will remain with the Re-
publicans and some Of them will
come back to u.s." meaning the regu-
laa silver Democracy, This is about
the size Of it. Every man who be-
lieves in n single gold standard and
proposes to fight free silver coinage,
belongs in the ranks of the Republi-
can party. Those who are in any
sense b~imetallists should remain
under the leadership of Bryan and
Jones. There is one other alternative
open to the "Gold Democrats" and
that is fusion with the "Middle.of
the rond Populists," or the Reform
Press Association. Both are factions
and both are working for the same
end. either ignorantly or covertly,
and that is the retention of the single
standard Republicans in power.
Stranger things have happened in
American politics than such a fusion,

How Manufacturers Test Blcyol...

How Manufacturers Test Bicycles.
Unless one has visited a great bicycle
factory it is not easy to appreciate the
many delicate operations that the pnrts
OF n bicycle are subjected to, the many
tests that must be passed, and the hun
dreds of careful inspections that the
many parts must pass before they gre
considered worthy or good enough TO
be assembled into a bicycle of standard
worth. Visitors to q big mandatory
are surprised at the extent of the plant,
the perfect appointments, and air of
discipline that prevails throughout.
1t does not take the most inexperienced
long TO see why it costs so much to build
q good bicycle. The most exacting care
is required; the very best materials are
necessary in every part; sliilledlabor of
the highest order is essential to obtain
the desired results, and If any part gets
through the insrcction-room and is
afterwards found imperfect, it IL moth
ing short Of marvellous.

Why 10 1t?

Why are the rocky and sterile re-
gions of New England rich aud pros
porous, while the fertile regions OF
the South and w EST are DEPRESSED
and Ianguish,ng? Because New
England c~ultvates legislation. while
the people OF the South and West
are fools enough to cultivate land.
Why did the Supreme Court de-
eide against the presidents OF hun
dred years that the rich ought not to
be taxed? Because they read in the
Bible. @For he that hath. to him
shall be given; and he that hath not.
from him shall be taken even that
which he hath"
Why did the Wilson bill fail to fur

loses more than he makes by such ar-
Communications by a constant fall in

Why is it that the merchants re-
joice because the goods they have on

Because the goldites tell them that a

Why do the merchants confuse the

Farmers As Lawmakers.

Il no good reason why this should not
