If the people who are blaming Pres
ident Mckinley for sending commits
sioners to Europe to try to establish
International bimetallism look at the
St. Louis platform they VIII find that
he is simply carrying out one of his
party's pledges. He is not responsible
for the conditions which make the re-
turn TO bimetailism impossible More

they are now. The Republican party

GRAFT If return to bimetallism is i'm
possible, was it not duplicity for the
st. Louis platform to make any pledges
Of any kind regarding it2 And is it
moi mere folly for the president to have
sent the commission to Europe?

THE Bryan dollar yesterday pos
sessed an intrinsic value of 40 cents and
a fraction of cent. At the same time
the price of cash wheat went to a
dollar per bushel. The neiarious
money power is certainly working
hard to cradle the western farmers to
pay off their mortgages" says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. Still the
Bryan dollar, which was coined years
and years before he was born, pur-
chases just as much as any other dollar
coined or printed by the United States

"THE FORTY CENT DOLLAR. y

The Pfttsburg Post comments on the
forty cent" dollar in these terms:
Great stress is laid en- the fact that
the silver equivalent of a silver dollar
IS now worth only fraction over 40
cents. This as an attempt to dfscredit
the silver money so largely in use in
this country. and gives a false i'm
preston: for the fact remains that
the silver in a silver dollar is worth
exactly the same as the gold in a
gold dollar, although silver not in silver
dollars IS not worth so much as
gold not yet coined. The silver dollar
is q, legal tender for any amount of in

WAXING NIGHTMARES.

Oh, fears that tap at the window pane,
Oh, tears that fall when the world S
asleep,
Terror and anguish that crowd the brain
When night Hes dead and deep!
To the heart that lives on a memory
Or dreams in a JOY too great to last,
Night brings the COLLINS of Woe-to-Be,
The ghosts of Joy that's Past.
The bitterest sorrow is that befalls
To the heart that at midnight watches
and wakes
While shadows creep on the firelit walls.
And a Hand the window shakes.

SAVED BY BALDY.
Pet of Ringling Circus Rescued
From a Horrible Death.

Grand Forks, N. D, June IA
thrilling episode occurred here in the
menagerie tent of the Ringing Bro
thers' Worlds Greatest Shows, just
after the free street parade had return
ed to the grounds. A little girl. the pet
of the entire company, was saved, al
most miraculOusly, from a frightful
death, by the prompt action of her
huge friend and plamate, Badly"
said to be the largest elephant in the
world.
Little Bessie Dacoma, a petite, grace
full tot, the youngest of the famous Da-
coma quartet of aerialists, has through
out the season made a pet of big
to have formed a deep attachment for
his little friend and they are seen to-
gether every morning during the leis-
ure time Bessie has.
Owing to an accident in unloading
one of the animal dens it was necessary
to send it to the blacksmith shop for
repairs to its iron work. The four
black bears that live in this cage We're
taken out and chained to stakes in
the center of the menagerie, where a
great pile of baled hay had been placed
Little Bessie didn't know the bears
were there and in passing close to the
hay bales, to reach her big friend, one
of the bears snatched at her dress and
pulled her down. She was within ten
feet of Baldy when she fell, and of
course screamed. There was a snap
like a pistol shot as the big fellow
broke the great chain that held him
He whirled like a flash, his big trunk
whizzed through the air and descended
with crushing force upon the bear just
as he was in the very act of drawing
Bessie toward him with his claws in
her clothing. The bear was stunned
by the terrific blow and it was believ-
ed for some minutes that he had been
killed. 1t all happened in less than
a second and big Badly picked his little
chum up, unharmed, but almost scared
TO r,11 fr11T
of harms way and then moved his
great body carefully between the child
and the hay bales where the bears
were. Had it not been for Baldy's
quickness the child's life would have
been sacrificed long before any of the
attendants could possibly have reached
her. OF course Badly is the hero of
the show and he and Bessie are friends

Denver, June 11.-Four railway wash
outs, a $25, 900 fire, and a host of minor
losses, epitonize the evil results of the
storm, which prevailed in Denver and
the southeastern section of the state
generally from near o'clock last even
ing, until a little after midnight. A
cloudburst on the slope of Pixies Peak
shut off traffic on the Rio Grande and
Midland lines between Manitou and
Colorado Springs. Sixteen miles out of
Denver the Julesburg tracks were
washed out in spots for a mile in
length leaving the 1920 o'clock Union
Pacific train for Chicago stalled at the
Union depot.
The washout on the Burlington &
Missouri road occurred near Barr sta
ton, SO the $50 train over that line for
the east was not able to leave Denver
until this morning. Men were at work
all night repairing the damages done by
the storm.
From the time the storm reached its
height until travel ceased upon the
streets the car lines were either inOper-
ative altogether, or gave but poor ser
vice Many parts of the city were
flooded to a depth of several feet num-
bers of families having to abandon their
homes. 1t is feared that ranchmen liv
ing in the lowIands to the east of this
point have lost heavily in stock and
buildings, by the nights floods. The
storm was general all over southwest

GATLING GUNS.
Protect the Jail at Huntsville, Ala,
From the Mob.

Huntsville, Ala, June 1.-THE Madi-
son county Jail is surrounded with
two large companies of Alabama
guards to protect Thompson and Ne
vile, who committed an assault on the
LaWIeT child at Decatur. The Gatling
guns and the outlying pickets and full
uniformed soldiers lend a feeling of
slight security to the prisoners, but
they are still trembling for their safe
ty. Advices from Decatur indicate
that all is quiet and that the law will
be respected by the outraged pOpulace.
The ministers of this city are active in
their efforts to prevent a spirit of re-
venge from arising. The sheriff will
withdraw the picket lines this after
noon and permit the weary soldiers to
rest on the green sward around the
jail
Yesterday a mob of 200 boarded a
freight at Decatur to ride to Hunts
vile for the purpose of lynching the
negroes. Ten miles out of Green
brier station, the conductor sidetracked
the train and acquainted the railroad
officials of it by wire. The latter tele
graphed back to hold the train until
the mob left it. After two hours of
parleying, the member of the mob got
off and walked back to Decatur, but
swore they would go to Huntsville at
night and carry out their purposes.
Last night Gov. Johnson wired or
ders for so well equipped men to go to
Huntsville by special train.

Washington, June 11.-Broker E1ver-

of his term in the district jail last
night. His sentence expired at mid
night, but according to custom he was
allowed to remain till this morning.
He accepted this final courtesy at the
hands of Warden Woodward, laughing
ly saying he should be sorry to requite
the hospitality he had received by
seeming to hurry off precipitateIy.
He might, had he so desired, left in
time to breakfast at the Arlington, but
instead he breakfasted as usual in the
Jail and after finishing his meal spent
an hour or more looking over his mail,
while waiting for his friends who had
arranged to call for him with a carriage
in the course of the morning.
Chapman left the Jail at about 1880
a. m. His five children We're all with
him at the time of the arrival of the
carriage and with them he drove rapid
