WEDDING FROLIC
Ends in the Death of the Groom and
Three Guests.


-Four people were suffocated in two
story frame dwelling consumed by fire on
Elm street, Cincinnati. During the fire q
gasoline stove exploded. The names OF
the victims are: Ezra Rouse, Arthur
Guth, Nellie Bennett, Roy Carr.
Otto Adler kept an all night restaurant
in the lower story of the house. There
were seventeen men and women in the
second story. None of the dead were
burned. They were suiIocated by smoke
from the fire in adjacent rooms. The only
exit for escape was blocked by a bath tub
set up on end, at the head of the stairway.
The smoke came from an adjacent room
where the fire was soon ext n.uiShed. 1t
seems that it was a wedding frOlic, in
which Guth, one of the dead men, was
the bridegroom, and the daughter of
Landlord Adler was the bride. The cele-
brantS of the wedding used beer and ci-
garettes Freely and it is supposed cigarettes

FLYER WRECKED.
Kansas Pacific Railway the Scene of
the Disaster.

Kansas Pacific Railway the Scene of
the Disaster.
The fast flyer on the Kansas Pacific
Railway was wrecked about forty miles
cast of Denver. Two trainmen were
killed outright, and five passengers are
said to be fatally injured, and many 9TH
ers badly hurt.
The wreck was caused by washout.
The heavy rains flooded the streams and
carried out a portion of small bridge
which spans Somanche Creek between
Byers and Strasburg. The train was
running at the usual speed, and when ap-
preaching the point of accident, without
warning, the engine plunged into the
abyss, followed BY the mail and baggage
cars, and the other cars were piled about
in confusion.
Instantly there was the widest cOnfu-
sion. The fatally injured passengers
were riding in the forward ear. Some of
the sleeping passengers in The Puilmans
were thrown from their berths and more
or less hurt, but not seriously.

More Destinations in Iowa,

More Decliuations in Iowa.
Another candidate 70" the Republican
nomination for Governor of Iowa has
pulled out of the race. Congressman j.
a. L. Hull of Des Moines is the latest
victim of the withdrawal epidemic. Mr..
Hull is now serving his fourth term in
Congress and has been in office during
nearly all the years of his mature life.
Captain Hull came home from Wash
ineton a few days ago, about the time
when Governor brakes declination had
taken effect, and produced something
like Il panic. He Immediately began to
think that the Office of Governor would
suit him-tO be elected. to run again in
1879 and then to succeed John III. Gear
as United States Senator. But it ap-
pears that the more he thought of being
candidate the more his apprehensions
increased on the subject. The two
term precedent had been so completely
broken that the prospect of a re-elec-
tion, even if successful this year, was
exceedingly remote. The only two Re
publican Governors of Iowa in recent
years, Jackson and Drake. were driven
out of the political field after one term
in office and finally relegated to private
life. So Captain Hull abandoned the
race. The shadow of the hoodoo rest
ing over the Governors chair repelled
him from the scene of competition.
which an effort to get the nomination
would create. He formally announces
that he is not '.in it,
In the meantime there was an at
tempt to bring out George Il. Roberts
of Fort Dodge as candidate. The
delegation from Webster County was
instructed in his favor by unanimous
vote. But he would have none of it
and declined the compliment. From
Dubuque also comes the report that w.
III. TOrbert, who had been talked of as
Il candidate, has withdrawn. His eX-
cuse is not i'll health, like that of Drake,
nor that he prefers to stay in another
office, like that of Hull. He says there
are too many candidates, and he gets
out of the way in the interest of har-
mOny. If the panic continues and
spreads for few days longer and the
destinations keep coming in there will
not be too many candidates" and loss
of harmony need not be feared.-Chi-

licans as there is in Ohio between the
Hannaites and the FOrakerites. 1t is

THE AssAssIN's BULLET.
Canovas Del Castillo, Premier O
Spain, Shot to Death.

Canovas Del Castillo, Premier of
Spain, Shot to Death.
Senior Antonio Canovas del Castillo,
Prime Minister of Spain, was assassinated
by Michele Angino Coli, a Neapolitan
anarchist, at Santa Agueda, Sunday.
He was shot to death. The murderer
fred three times at the aged Spanish
Minister. One bullet passed through his
forehead and another penetrated his
chest.
He fell dying at the feet of his wife, who
was with him. For an hour he fingered
IN terrible agony, struggling against the
rapid approach of death.
With the cry of "Long live Spain" on
his lips, the grim old patriot, the fierce
monarchist and leader of the Alfonsist
party, and the head of the Government
that tried to crush the Cuban rebellion by
policy of extermination, passed away.
Spain was in love with his life. His
country was his idol and its progress his
pride. He fought for the monarchy that
now rules in Spain. He fell by the hand
of one to whom all monarches are de-
testable and all men in power are tyraRts
ft only for the knife or the bullet.
Like President Carnot of France, he
was assassinated by an alien. In each
case the murderer came from Italy and
followed the victim from the seat of Gov
ernment to spot where the crime would
be made easier by the absence of guards.
In each case the crime was committed on
Sunday.
The terrible news swept over Spain and
the people went into mourning for the
victim of the awful crime. Europe was
shaken by the story of the assassination,
and words of sorrow and sympathy were
flashed from every court. The Revolution
lists in Spain were silence and the Liber-
ais, who had fought the monarchist lead
er, were Mortified at the crime.

The Man of One Idea.

Mr.. Mckinley was never known as
a man of towering abilities in the field
of politics or craftsmanship. But he
had the perseverance and faith of the
fanatic. In his very limitations men-
tally reposed the secret of his success.
He was never beset in his way by those
qualifying and obstructive suggestions
which trouble minds dwelling possibly
in higher realms of fancy or thought.
He was deeply possessed Of one idea,
and that an old one. and there he
stood, come what might.-Springtield

THE ROBBER TARIFF.

The great tariff bill for trusts and
deficit has become law.
When GrosvernOr of Ohio was asked
in the House if the tariff did not give
SS,500,UOO worth of protection to the
lead trust. he flippantly replied: u
don't know and don't care"
This was not an ingenious reply. he
publican legislators have taken great
care that the trusts should receive the
extreme limit of protection. 1t is PROB
ably quite true that these tariff rob
bers would be glad to suppress discus
sion of their gifts to trusts, but the
facts are too fragrant and the indlSn,
ton of the people cannot be escaped.
AS the tariff law stands. it will ell
able the one hundred and three pro-
tected trusts to rob the citizens OF the
United States of $3.50. 100000 annually
and all that the men elected by the peo-
pie for the purpose of protecting the
people have to say about it is: Il don
know and / don't care"
New trusts will now begin 70 DE
formed under the benefcent protection
of the Dingley tariff, and old trusts
will be revived. a syrup and jam trust
is already under consideration. The
cordage trust. that had to go out OF eH-
istence when binding twine was placed
on the free list. will surely be reorSan-
lied. for the tariff for trusts is now IN
operation.
The duty on hides is going to be a
tax of % cents on every pair of men S
shoes. Can the tariff robbers explain
how the foreigner will have to pay TINS
tax? When the voters of this country
are forced to put down an advance OF
% cents on the accustomed price OF
every pair of shoes they buy. let them
reflect that this is only small part
of the debt they owe to the RepuDii-
can party and its robber tariff.
What is the Dingley tariff going to
accomplish? 1t is going to rob the
people of the United States; it Is going
to enrich the already Opulent trusts; 1t
is going to leave the treasury of the
nation without sufficient revenue; it is
going to destroy competition and en-
courage eXtOrtion; it is going to create
foreign complications and excite re-
prisals: it is going to prohibit trade
and challenge commercial warfare.
The bill is full of absurdities, inequall-
ties and crime 1t is vicious, unfair,
eXtravagant and oppressive.
But with all its evil and, indeed, be-
cause of its evil. it will bring about a
great reform. The intelligent voters of
the United States will rise against the
hosts of plutocracy and in 1900 the YER
dict of 1896 will be reversed and those
who mock at the sufferings of the peO-
pie will be turned out of the offices
they have prostituted and their places
will be filled by those who have the
welfare Of the masses 1t heart

Discr minating Against American

Consul General Dekay, at Berlin, writes
to the State Department at some length
concerning the efforts that are being made
in Germany TO prevent the importation
and sale Of American bicycles in that
country. Several schemes have been de-
vised and the probabilities are that in
creased tariff rates, 10 be imposed in some
form, will be adopted to carry out the de-
sires of the Germans. Mr.. DeKay also
suggests that some International plan
should lie adopted TO protect the Ameri-
can bicycle trade in Germany.

Silver and the Law,

The 50-cent silver dollar of the gold
ite press is myth. The stamp of the
government, combined with the intrin-
sic value of the coin, makes the silver
dollar worth 100 cents.
The bullion value of silver has been
deprecated by law. and if gold had
been treated as silver has been treat
ed, gold bullion would have a decreas-
ed commercial value. When the use
of any article is limited the price of
that article must fall. When the use
of any article is enlarged the value
must rise.
That is exactly what has been
brought about by the laws which dis
criminate against silver and in favor
of gold. Remove the ban which the
government has placed on silver; open
the mintS to the free coinage of the
white metal; enlarge the use of silver
money and the commercial value of
silver bullion will at once rise.
With the enlarged use of the bicycle
there came a corresponding decrease
in the price of horses. If new use for
horses were to arise, the price of these
animals would correspOndingly in
crease.
So it has been with regard to silver
Hostile legislation has lowered it's
bullion price; friendly legislation would
send that price upward. There is moth
ing more certain than the fact that
law can make value, and all conten-
ton to the contrary is insincere or ig-
nOrant
