Dempsey Must Die.

Butte, Sept. 4.--Peter Dempsey, wife
murderer, who had his trial last week as
to sanity and declared to be sane, was
sentenced to be hanged this morning by
Judge Clancy of the district court.
The death warrant is signed and date
of execution set for October 12.
1t is not likely that the execution will
take place on that date, however, as an
appeal from the judgment will be taken
and the supreme court will hardly be
able to reach the case before the timelset
for hanging.
Dempsey has a second time expressed
a wish to be hanged as soon as possible.

MURDER AND SUICIDE,
A Discarded Lover Takes Terrible Ven
geance-The Tragedy Occurs
Near Livingston.

opec1al 10 Jne bee.
Livingston, Sept. 1O.-A shocking trag
edy occurred at Rock Creek Sunday in
which Frank Forrest shot and killed
Willis Howard, probably fatally wounded
through his own heart. Forrest and
Howard were ranch hands and Miss
Lynn the 1G- year old daughter of John
Lynn, a rancher.
Frank Forrest, the central figure, has
been working at ranches in that vicinity
for the past three years and about a year
ago he fell in love with Miss Lynn and
for time was frequent visitor at her
home, but later was looked upon with
disfavor and was asked by both the
young lady and her parents to stop his
visits. Howard began to pay attention
to Miss Lynn shortly after this occurred
and as he was Industrious and quite we'll
to do he met with no objection. Forrest
was of very sensitive nature and was
deeply affected at the result ui his failure
to win the young girl.
For some time past Forrest has made
threats against the life of Howard and
on two occasions had been prevented by
friends from taking his own life. Sew
eral weeks ago Howard had him arrested
and brought to Livingston to be placed
under bonds for threatening his life, but
Forrest was released with the under
standing that he would remove from
Rock Creek. He Immediately left the
country, but only stayed away about two
weeks, when he returned to Rock Creek
armed with revolver, which was taken
away from him by friends. Howard,
fearing that Forrest intended to do him
harm, also armed himself with revol-
yer. Last night Howard accompanied
Miss Lynn and her parents to the Rock
Greek church. Forrest was also in at
tendance and Immediately after the ser
vices he followed Howard and Miss Lynn
out of the church. They had only pro
ceeded few steps when Forrest stepped
up behind them, whipped out his revol
yer and shot Howard through the heart
twice, killing him instantly. Miss Lynn
screamed and ran toward the church,
when Forrest turned the weapon upon
her and fired two bullets into her body,
the last of which will probably prove
fatal. Howard had no chance to use his
revolver, but had it partly out of the
scabbard when he fell. Directly after
the shooting Forrest ran to clump of
bushes beside the creek and put bullet
through his heart, dying instantly, his
body falling into the water.

BANKS AND THE GOVERNMENT
To the State Should Be Reserved the
Sole Power Of Making
Money.

A correspondent asks US: ''Is it not
the issue directly by the government of
the United States notes, or greenbacks,
that puts the government in the bank
ing business?' supplementing the in
quiry with the assertion that 1T is the
natural province of banks to issue cir
culating notes."
We answer that the issuing of paper
money is not banking, but the exercise
by the government of function like
that of coming metal money, the
usurpation of which by banks, under
any conditions, is wrong, and should be
prohibited. 1t is no more the mat
ural province of banks to issue cir
culating notes than it is for them to
run the post office, maintain an army or
navy, or exercise any other govern
ment power. That they have been al
lowed to do it in past years is no rea-
son why they should be allowed to do
it forever.
The way to provide the sound, stable
and unimpeachable currency that is de-
sired is to reserve for the government
the sole power to put the stamp of
money on metal or on paper-N. Y.

English Scientists in France.

In welcoming to Boulogne the Brit
ish and French associations for the ad-
vancement of science, the mayor of
Boulogne said their reunion repre-
sented the cooperation of Anglo
Saxon, Celt and Gaul in the service os
science and humanity at large. Sir
Michael Foster in reply said that the
one prominent characteristic of tie
English people is their power to hide
their feelings, but when the French
scientists visited Dover though the
Englishmen did their best to keep up
the national trait, they failed. There
was proverb in England, and all the
keep it in standing type,
that ''They do these things better in
France" He then made the confess
sion that though Dover did her best in
her reception of the Frenchmen, yet
they did these things better in France.

AT his hand, he needed no light to find
it, lay little packet that had been
passed in to him. with the mail while
the council was still in session. It was
stoutly wrapped, tightly corded, and
lrofusely scaled, but with the sharp
point of an eraser the general slit the
fastenings, tore off the wrapper, and
felt rather than saw that bundle of
letters, rolled in tissue paper and tied
with ribbon, ribbon long since faded
and wrinkled, lay within. This he care
fully placed in a large-sized military
letter envelope, moistened and pressed
tight the gummed flap, slowed it in the
inner pocket of the overcoat that hung
at the rear tent pole, reduced the wrap
per and its superscription to minute
fragments, and dropped them into the
waste-baslzet, all as carefully and meth
odically as though life knew neither
hurry nor worry; then bowed his lined
face in both hands moment in utter 81
lence and in unmistakable sadness.
Presently his lips moved: "Can you
look down and see that have kept my
word, Agnes?" he murmured. "God
help me to find him and save him-yet."
Once again the laughter, the gay
young voices, rang from the other tent.
All over camp, far and near, from the
limits Of the park to the very slope of
the height at the north, the evening
bugles were calling by thousands the
thronging soldiery to mess or roll call.
Slowly the general rose, drew on his
overcoat, and in another moment, un-
der the sloping visor of his forage cap,
with eyes that twinkled behind their
glasses, with genial smile softening
every feature, his fine soldierly face
peered in on the scene of light, of merri-
ment and laughter under the canvas
roof of the only home he knew in the
world-the soldier home of one whose
life had been spent following the flag
through bivouac, camp or garrison,
through many march, battle and cam
paign all over the broad lands of the
United States until now, at the hour
when most men turned for the placid
joys of the freside, the love of devoted
and faithful wife, the homage and af-
fection of children, the prattle and play
full sports of children's children-home-
less, wifeless, childless, he stood at the
border of the boundless sea, soldier
duty pointing the way to far distant,
unknown and undesired regions, con-
tent to follow that flag to the end of
the world if need be, and owning no
higher hope or ambition than to follow
and uphold it to the end of his life.
There was nothing in such face as
his to put a check to fun and merriment,
yet, all on a sudden, the laughter died
away. Three young galiants in soldier
garb sprang to their feet and faced him
with appeal and explanation in their
speaking eyes, although only one of
their number found his tongue in time
to put the matter into words. There
were only two girls when the general
left that tent to meet his officers at four
o'clock and now there were four, and
the four were having fve-o'clock tea.
At least anyone would have said they
were four blithe girls, innocent of

CONTRACTING THE CURRENCY.
Coincidence That Is Significant
Single Gold Standard Fathers
Panic.

Apparently the republican money
tinkers have taken an unfortunate
time to place this country on the gold
basis.
Coincident with the discussion of
the gold bill in congress panic RACES
in New York and Boston, banks and
commission houses fail and all for
the lack of money to float their enter
prises.
Explanations Of the cause of this
panic are being made and all of them
point to the fact that the price of
money for the last three months has
been abnormally high. This being the
case, to contract the currency one-half
by establishing the single gold stand
ard is to force the price of money so
high that these local panics will be
followed by a general financial tor
nado.
Speculation has been fast and furi-
Gus. Trust stocks, more than half
water, have been sold at or near par,
the fictit:c*ls value has gone out of
these stocks, owing to the scarcity of
gold, and panic has resulted.
Demand for gold has increased.
Europe has called for it. South Al
rica has ceased to send in its supply
of $S,00o,000 a month. American Sc
curities are being liquidated abroad
and gold is flowing eastward across
the Atlantic.
And yet the gold maniacs insist on
contracting the currency. The Bank

TIE MONEY QUESTION.
A Clear Issue for the Voters to Decide
Upon During the Coming
Campaign.

While some of the editors are Won
dering if the money question will fig
ure in the next campaign Hon. J. &.
johnson, chairman of the executive
committee of the democratic national
committee, calls attention to the fact
that the proposed currency bills of
the republican party in congress have
already fixed the issue. By proposing
to fix the single gold standard upon
the country, the republicans have
shifted the issue from that which was
before the country in 1896, to con-
test over the gold standard pure and
simple. In the last campaign the dis
cussion was between those who fav-
| ored the free coinage of silver at the
ole ratio and those who were opposed
to the proposition.
At that time the republicans re-
fused to make the gold standard the
issue. They fought shy of it and evad-
ed it. They admitted in their plat
form that bimetallism was better for
the people than the single gold stand-
ard provided it could be reached as
the result of international agreement.
And now Mr.. Mckinley was so keen
for the introduction of international
bimetallism that he took it upon him
self, even before he took the oath of
office, to arrange for a commission
whose duty it would be to visit Eu-
rope in order that the evils of the sim
gle gold standard might be mitigated
as promptly as possible.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
| many voters who were utterly opposed
to the single gol! standard were won
over to the republicans by the con-
servative stand which they conceived
that party had taken on the money
question. The impression left upon
| the more thoughtful voters by the re-
publican leaders was that these Lead
ers were equally opposed to the gold
standard and to the independent free
coinage of silver; they were supposed
to occupy the safe and conservative
| ground midway between; they feared
independent free coinage, and so they
turned to international bimetallism.
| But now, since they have thrown
off all disguise they have changed the
issue. The contest will now be, not
only for and against silver, but for
and against the gold standard. Tho
main question will be whether the
gold standard shall be permanently
fastened on the country, with all the
evils admitted by the republicans in
their efforts to secure international
bimetallism.
| For the first time since the question
Of the standards has been agitated
the people will have an opportunity
of deciding whether they want bimet-
allism-the free coinage of both mon-
ey metals-or the single gold stand-
ard. Always, heretofore, the issue has
been ccnfused; the republicans have
been shifty enough to evade it. But
now they cannot escape the results of
their efforts to make the gold stand-
ard the permanent measure of all the
values in this country.
This is a question which the people
must decide for themselves and they
will be given an opportunity in the
coming campaign.

graver responsibilities than social calls
and dinner or dance engagements, for
never looked four young women so free
from the cares of this world than these
who were picturesquely grouped about
the generals camp table and under the
brilliant reflector Of the generals lamp;
but the plain gold circlet on the slender
finger of the merriest and noisiest and
smallest of the four, and the fact that
she had nothing to say to the senior of
the four attendant officers except in
the brief, Indifferent tones of assured
proprietorship, and very much to say
to the other three, told different story.
The generals manner lost none of it's
kindness, even though close observer
would have seen that his face lost lit
tie of it's light as he recognized in the
evident leader of the revels and mistress
of the situation the wife of his senior
aid-de-camp. An hour before he
thought her thousand miles away
and so did her husband.
"Bless your dear old heart!" ex-
claimed the little lady, springing to her
feet, facing him with indomitable
smiles and thrusting forward two slen-
der, white, bejeweled hands. ''No-
don't say you disapprove! Don't scold!
Don't do anything but sit right down

Gcious tea-(Frank, some boiling wa
ter)-that no one makes for you as I

And by this time, resolutely pulling,
she had towed the general to chair,
and into this, his favorite leather
armed, canvas-backed. hickory-framed
companion of many a year, she deftly
dropped him and then, giving him no
chance for a word, gayly pirouetting,
she seized one after another upon each
member of the party present-an ac-
complished little mistress of ceremon-
les, encased in a tailor made travelling
suit that rendered her proof against
dozen minor ills, so beautifully was it
cut and fitted to her pretty fgure-and,
with inexhaustible flow of merry words,
presented her or him to the veteran in
the chair:
''This, my honored general, first
and foremost, is Miss Mildred Prime,
daughter of thousand earls is she,
yet one vastly to be desired, though
I say it who should not, for she halls
from New York, which is enough to
make me hate her, whereas we've lust
sworn an eternal friendship. You've
only casually met her and her folks
before, but I can tell you all about
them. You should have put Frank at
the head of your intelligence bureau,
general. He'd never find out anything,
but would. We came on the same
train together all the way from Og-
den." ".- ~---

Wonders of the Ring Ncbula.

With the Crossley rejecting telescope
at the Lick observatory photographs
have recently been obtained which
show a surprising structure in the eel
ebrated Ring Nebula in the constella-
ton Lyra. With an ordinary telescope
this nebula appears only as delicate
oval, hanging like little smoke ring,
with faint stars sprinkled about it on
the dark sky. The photographs not
only reveal star situated in the center
of the ring, but they show that the ring
is made up, to use Prof. Keeler's express
sion, ''of a number of narrower rings
interlacing somewhat irregularly." The
space within the ring, which is covered
with faint nebulosity, is seen in the
photographs to be crossed by three
dark and two bright bands. Near the
ring is small independent nebula
