We're the dead bodies Of his wife and her
niece, w. III. Shields, lighthouse keeper
at Squaw Island, was found in Lake
Michigan off Manitowoc, after having
been tossed about in the icy waters for
twenty-four hours. Both of Shields legs
were frozen. He had been rendered al
most unconscious by hunger and expos
ure, and delirious from the awful strain
of the double task of watching over and
trying to stimulate to further endurance
his dying relatives and Of trying to steer
the wrecked boat in the face Of storm
toward land I'VE closed the station on
SQuaw Island Friday morning." said
Shields, and soon afterward I, with Nc
Cauley, Lucien Morden, the helper,
Mrs. Shields and her niece, Mrs. Mary
Davis, with few belongings, embarked
in sailhoat for the mainland, seven
miles distant When out but short time
the boat capsized. BY hard work we
managed to all reach the upturned hull,
and dashed the women to it. McCauley
and myself also succeeded in securing
ourselves, but Morden, who had become
delirious, refused to do this. We did our
best to bind him to the wreck and had
almost succeeded when, because Of his
struggles, and the force of the waves, he
fell away from us and we did not see
him afterward. My wife and her niece,
McCauley and myself, dashed and cling
ing to the boat, were tossed about and
suffered terribly from the cold and seas
which washed over us. About seven hours
after the accident happened my wife sue
cumbed, beng unable to longer endure
the terrible exposure to winds and seas.
Mrs. Davis, after holding up for several
hours after my wife's death, also died,
and only McCauley and myself remained
alive, with the two dead women dashed
by our sides, floating around the lake
with no other human being in sight. We
were finally picked up by the steamer

CLEVELAND POINTS THE WAY.
Tells Democrats Return to the Old
Faith Is Necessary

800
Faith Is Necessary.
Former President Grover Cleveland
contributes to the Saturday Evening Post
OF Philadelphia an extended article ION
the plight Of the Democracy and the
remedy. Mr.. Cleveland begins by re
viewing the history Of the party, and he
discusses its defeats since 1864 in de-
tail. In taking up the question of the
present conditions of the Democracy he
says that the success of the party in
1892 was SO decisive and overwhelming
that long continuance of its suprem-
acy was anticipated. Then came 1.-The
fallacy Of free silver and populism.'''
Mr.. Cleveland says: .sThe elimination
OF Democratic woe was reached when
its compact with these undemocratic
forces was complete and when our rank
and file were summoned to do battle un-
der banners which bore strange symbols
and were held aloft in unfamiliar hands
The result of such betrayal was fore
doomed. This abandonment Of the prin-
ciples of true Democracy, this contemptu-
GUS disobedience Of its traditions and this
deliberate violation Of the law of its
strength and vigor were by decree as
memorable as those of fate followed by
the inevitable punishment of stunning,
staggering defeat.
'.The disaster Of 1872, invited by SINH
lar mad adventure, was quickly followed
by return to the professions and prac-
tees OF sane Democracy. But the extent
and persistency of our wanderings in
1896 is illustrated in a most astounding
way by the command, issued on the day
of our rout and discomfort, that see
ond battle should be fought on the same
field, with the same false war cries and
on the same leadership that had brought
us to the surrounding gloom of defeat
Mr.. Cleveland breaches the return OF
Democracy to its old faith, saying: Sin
cere Democrats of every condition and
in every part of the land realize that the
situation Of the party needs repair. Re
organization is not necessary, but a re-
turn from our wandering is absolutely
essential. Let us be frank with ourselves
and candidly acknowledge the futility of
attempting to gain Democratic victories
except in the Democratic cause and
through Democratic methods.
IF / should attempt to epitomize what
have written by suggesting plan for
the rehabilitation and restoration Of true
Democracy L should embody it in these
words, Give the rank and file chance !"

In Bryan,s State and County.

hO uCtd1AS VI TIE vote Ill NeUEdSkd,
as reportedfn dispatches from Lincoln,
present some interesting features. In
one precinct in Antelope County, for
instance, where in 1896 Bryan got 45
votes and Mckinley got only 2, in 1900
Mckinley got 40 votes and Bryan got
none. 1t looks as though they must
have been having some Mckinley pros
perity in that vicinity during the last
four years.
In Bryan's home county the farming
districts gave him in 1896 majority Of
nearly 800, while this year Mckinley
carried them by majority of pa. Per-
haps some of those Nebraska mort
cages which have been paid off since
President McKinley's election in 1896
belonged up that way. And when it
comes to a choice between voting for
a ''favorite son" or even for neigh
Dor and voting for ones own individual
prosperity and for the prosperity of the
whole country, the "favorite son. has
to take second place. 1t is hard on Mr..
Bryan, but calamity candidate usual
ly hasn't very good time in this coun-
try, where the people have so often
had an opportunity to see that it lies
entirely with themselves whether they
will have prosperity Or not. The pros
perity argument was, as Mr.. Bryan has
said, the most potent element in his
defeat, and nowhere was it more po-
tent than in Mr.. Bryan's own State and
ponpican Eoonnp1iSf
Took Effect Automatically.
The amazing thing about the indus
trial revival after McKinley's election
was it's suddenness. 1t seemed to take.
effect automatically, almost instantly,
without a decent natural interval for
the mere routine details of business.
The explanation of this, obviously, IS
the preparation of the business mind
for the event and the great number OF
contingent contracts. These took effect
on the day after election without even
the formality of contirmatory tele-
gram. and industrial establishments
could order work on them to begin at
once. Besides these actual contracts
contingent on the electlon, tnefe Aeen
to have been a great number OF ofders'
ready to send out in the first mail after
news of it was had on which work
could begin almost as soon. The sud
denness of the industrial movement DIS
tinguishes it from four years ago more

held with less confidence. But there
was less certainty of the event IN ad-
vance in 1896, and the machinery OF m
dustry was idle and rusty. t took
some time for 1t to get in motion after
feeling the new impulse. This year y
took the impulse like a powder fuse
and leaped ahead under it with almost
explosive force.-New York CONNER

ANTIsEPTlCRRooM car s. Kulman, OF
Savannah, Ca, has designed the anti
septic broom here shown. 1t consists
of bag to be attached to the end Of
the broom handle before the straws are
wired In place, with hole drilled In
the handle to a point above the straws
for the insertion Of the chemicals, ETC.,
which form the microbe destroyer The
anti-septic is preferably made in the
form of hard balls, which readily roll
into the bag through the channel, and
to promote the dissemination Of the
compound through the straws guam
tity of water, alcohol or other solvent
may also be introduced through the
agency Of can, or the balls and liquid
may be replaced by a semi-fiuid anti
septic, which will slowly filter through
the fabric and dampen the broom.

CrulIers.


One pint of sour milk, two eggs, four
teaspoonfuls Of melted lard, two tea
spoonfuls of soda, one teaspoonful of
cream Of tartar, one and one-half cup"
fuls Of sugar, one-half teaspoonful Of
salt, nutmeg or other f1avoring to taste,
and add -four to make as soft batter
as can be handled. If allowed to stand
on the ice until thoroughly chilled and
only part of the mixture is put on to
the board at time, softer paste can
be used than If used while warm, and
the crullers will be proportionally light
er and more delicate. Roll into sheets
cne-half inch thick and cut into rounds
with hole in the center. Fry In deep
fat and keep them turning with long
toasting fork. Fry to golden brown.
II too many are added at one time the
fat will be cooled, the cooking will be
slower and the cakes will absorb the
fat.

WALLIS DISCUSSES
ALLEGED ISSUES
Addressed A:Large Audience at Opera
House.
PRESENTED ARRAY OF FIGURES.
Covering the Fourteen Years in
Which Fielder Was Mayor-Prom-
ised, if Elected, an Economical Ad-
ministration.

Col. w. p Wallis, one of the three
candidates for the office of mayor of
Americus, addressed quite large au-
dience at the theatre last night upon
what he termed the issues in the cam
paign. The audience was made up of
friends of all three candidates, many
going through curiosity to hear what
was to be said as we'll as to be informed
as to what constituted the tissues !"
This was, In the main, presentation
of an array of figures representing re-
ceipts and expenditures of money dur
ing the fourteen years Mr.. Fielder was
mayor. The several boad issues were
discussed at great length. the speaker
undertaking to show that no adequate
provision for the retirement of these
bonds had been made by the existing
administration, though it is said that,
in reality, some of these bonds are be-
ing cancelled annually and have been
for many years past.
Mr., Wallis thought that the personal
success of man should receive con-
slderation in the selection of the city
officers and briefly sketched his career
since coming to Americas in 1889,
promising, if elected mayor, an econo'
mical and business like administration.
He was given an attentive hearing, and
while portion of his audience, per-
maps, may take issue with him the sin
certify and earnestness of the speaker
could not be doubted.

PERRY WILL SWING FOR CRIME.
Death Sentence Is Passed Upon Ameri-
Gus Negro.

Late copies of Philadelphia papers
received in Americus contain accounts
of the passing of the death sentence
upon Charlie Perry, an Americas ne
gro, CONVICTED of murder in that city
quite recently. The court denied the
petition for new trials in the cases of
Perry and Henry Ivory. his accom-
plice, and both have been sentenced to
death upon the gaIlows. It is said
that Perry broke down and wept CO.
piously when sentence was passed
upon him, and spoke feelingly of his
family here in Americas. Unless the
case of the negroes is appealed to a
higher court there they will be execut-
ed in short while.

AMERICUs MAN GIVEN FORTUNE
If Willing to Care For Relative Over
In Spain.

Whenever any great fake is perpe-
trated there are those in Americas
whom the fakirs attempt to draw into
it, though usually without success.
What appears to be plausible attempt
upon this line was letter received
Yesterday by citizen of Americas
from an alleged cousin in Spain in
which the latter very generously offers
to place a half million dollars IN the
hands of his Americus cousin in pay
ment of a trifing favor. The Spaniard
Gains to be in prison (uniustly, of
course) and wants his Georgia cousin
to care for and educate a beautiful
young daughter, who will eventually
inherit his entire fortune of one mil
lion dollars. The plans OF procedure
are very carefully marked out, and if
this fake had not already been attempt
ed in Georgia someone might have
been caught. It is safe to say, how
ever, that the Americas man will not
be victim and will let his cousin"
stay in jail, where he doubtless ought
to be.
