'MEXICO’S SILVER SEESAW.
”Silver and Real \Vages Go Down Prices
- ’ . and Rents Go Up.
Consul General Donnelly at N uevo
Laredo, Mexico, reports to the depart-
ment of state: “I have the honor m're-
port a marked rise in the price of all
commodities in Mexico as the result of
This was to be expected of imported
goods, but domestic products and even
rents have risen. There have been no
corresponding advances, however, in
wages or. salaries. Labor stays on its
silver basis. "
Wages Before and Since 1873.
Thirteen years before the “crime of
”73,” according to the United States
census of 1860, the average wage per
annum paid to each person was $288.
Seventeen years after that catastrophe
the average had increased to $484. That
is, the wage earner of 1890 got 68 per
cent more than did the wage earner of
.1860. Not only that, but each dollar of
l890 would buy more of the necessities
and comforts of life than would each
dollar of 1860. Does the wage earner
think that he gets too many dollars or
that his dollars buy too much? How
many crimes like that of 1873 could he
stand?
Warmed Over Silver Arguments.
With the rising tide of prosperity
contradicting all of Mr Bryan’s the-
ories, and with the great flood of gold
that. is pouring into the markets of the
world from Alaska, from Colorado,
from Utah and from South Africa, the
silver fad appears to be doomed to an
flatly death. It will hardly survive an-
other year. In Ohio, Kentucky and
[owa the Democratic and Populist ora-
ltors already find it hard to get audiences
‘to listen to a repetition of their old,
warmed over silver arguments of last
year

Injured in is Mine éage.
Nanticoke, Pa., Sept. 16.—The cage in
which ten men were being lowered into
' shaft No. 2 of the Alden Coal company

of the shaft. Eight of the men were
severely injured, and the injuries of
four may prove fatal. The mine is 580
feet deep. The cage had started down
the shaft. and the engineer losing con-
trol of the machinery it dropped to the
.‘bottom at terrific speed.
Three Persons Killed by Gas In a \Vell.

man, a prominent farmer, and his two
sons were killed by gas while cleaning
out a well. One of the boys went down
and was overcome by the gas. When
the other we"! down to get him out, he
met a like fa :-. The father then went
down to see wl‘. at was the matter and
was likewise killed.
The Disabled Fireassia.
Queenstown. Sept. 15.—The Cunard
line. steamship Aurania when passing
Kinsale Head signaled that a careful
lookout had been kept for the disabled
Anchor liner Circassia, but no signs
were seen of the overdue vessel. The
owners presume that the Ethiopia has
overhauled the Ciscassia and has taken
her in tow.
Russia’s‘Gold Reserve.
’St. Petersburg, Sept. 16.—An imperial
ukase has been issued decreeing that
the gold reserve held against credit
notes must not be less than half the
value of the notes so long as this does
not exceed 600,000.000 rubles (about $160,-
000,000). Above this amount every ruble
.must be fully covered.
The Cause of the Lynching.
Louisville, Sept. 16.—-—For four or five
years the farmers of the county have
been the victims of a lawless gang who
lived an outlaw existence, robbing in-
discriminately and sometimes commit-
ting graver crimes. Farmers would
come into town with a. bunch of cattle
or load of farming products, and next
morning they would be: found robbed and
beaten by‘ the roadside. Old German
farmers have been visited, and both men
and women have been tortured to make
them give up their savings. Aged Ger-
man women have been forced to stand
upon a redhot stove in an effort to com-
pel them to disclose the hiding place of
some treasure in the house. These dep-
redations have continued unceasingly.
Arrests have been made, but the guilty
- parties have covered up their lawless-
ness, and it was seldom that conviction
followed.
During the past week robberies had
increased alarmingly.
On last Saturday word was received
by the sheriff that the store of Wooley
Bros, at Correct, Ind., ten miles from
here, was to be entered.
The information was given by one of
the gang’s confederates, who had been
.mder suspicion. Sheriff Henry Bushing
arranged that his informant should ac-
company them, and, securing five depl-
uties, they Went to the place, Where the
men were arrested. This crime is
thought to have been the final straw
which caused the lynching.
blurderer's Liberty Short Lived.
Atlanta, Sept. 16.—Edward C. Flana-
gan, who murdered three persons a lit-
tle over a year ago and who was sen-
tenced to be hanged next week, escaped
from the De Kalb county jail at Deca-
tur at an early hour. When his keepers
brought his breakfast at 7:30 o’clock.
they found only a vacant cell and a
note. He was afterward found secreted
in a room on the premises.

Thai is the Way They Ilo Things in
,. ' léorwalk.
Mrs. C. A. Mullings, 35 Van Zandt
avenue, East N orwalk. says: “Both
my son and myself have been bothered
with catai'rh, it troubling us very much
alike: the head being badly stuffed up,
while the matter dropping into the
throat caused continual coughing. I
procured a bottle of California Catarrh
Cure at Plaisted’s drug store in South
Norwalk, and we began using it W'e
didn’t have to wait long to learn its
value, it relieved at once. My head
and throat are now much clearer than
they have been for some time. I will
gladly recommend the medicine to any-
one who is suffering with cat-arrh.”
California Catarrh Cure is especially
prepared for the treatment of the inu-
cous membrane. It allays the inflam-
mation, checks the disease, and arrests _
and repairs the decay of this delicate
lining. The ravages of catarrh may be
increased by impure blood, but purify-
ing the blood \Vlll neither cure catarrh,
relieve hay fever, nor clean and purify
the nasal passages after a cold; while
no case of catarrh, even if the patient
has impure blood, fails to yield to Cali-
fornia Catarrh Cure.
In the case of a cold, the treatment
may be begun as easily as possible, but
should be continued till the last trace
has disappeared.
In nasal catarrh the directions on
each bottle have only to be followed
till a cure is effected, then, with care
of each cold, one may be free from
chronic catarrh forever.
Catarrh of the stomach presupposes
nasal catarrh, and is cured in the same
way.
California. Catarrh Cure is sold at all
drug stores. A big bottle for 50 cents
and one three times as large for one
dollar.

A Date Fixed For the Appeal From Judge
Chester's Decision.
Albany, Sept. 16.—Attorney General
Hancock has stipulated to the attorneys
representzng the coal railroads that on
Friday next at Saratoga he will ask the
appellate division of the supreme court,

day for hearing the arguments on his
appeal from the decision of Judge Ches-
ter vacating an order previously grant-
ed by him appointing a referee to take
testimony from the presidents of the
coal roads to see if there was sufficient
grounds to begin an action against
them for violating the new law against
combinations. The attorneys for the
coal roads asked that this date be set,
and as the appellate division is ready to
hear the appeal the motion of the at—
torney general on Friday will be grants
