Official Paper Sherman County Consul (ieneral Lee is already talked of by the democrats as can didate for president in 11*00. Tlie Spaniards are lamenting over a scarsity of coal, this hadn't ought to worry them we expect most of them to go where they use brimstone be fore long. One of the war developments is likely to prove quite embarrassing to tbe financial arguments wbicb the silver men are preparing to trot out again when the congressional cam paign opens. A natural inquiry as to tbe motbods likely to lie pursued in raising funds for a war in case of necessity bas brought out the fact that there is more money in circula tion in tbe United States today than ever before in its history, the total being $1,750,05*,045. This shows an increase of $2 40,000,000 in the 21 rnonbts since the Chicago conven tion declared that the money of the country could not materially increase without the free coinage of silver, a development which will be quite cm barrassing to the people who are ex pecting to burnish up their campaign arguments of 1898. A steady in crease of the money in circulation at the rate of nearly $ 12.000,000 per month has a somewhtt depressing effect upon the sili’er argument of 1898. The capitalists of Wall Street, N. Y. have notified the President, that they will raise a full regiment of one thousand men, and $100,000 to equip them with the bent modern equipments for the coming conflict. John Wannamaker, of Philadelphia, notified his army of employes that any who wish can enlist in the ser vice of the United States their pay would go on, and their places will be open for them when thy return, or in case they are killed or die their heirs will be paid $1,000 by him. Some of the eastern rail roads, have notified the President that all troops and munitions of war will be trans ported over their lines free of all expence to the government, and the express companies, have notified their employes that all who go to fight the common enemy will receive half pay and their job back when they return. Many large firms have extended the same patriotic offers, and it is hoped that the disgruntled dyspeptic dromadaries that have bowled for help for the past eight years to destroy the “conscienceless plutocrat” will be as patriotic now the opportunity is at hand. The Crowned heads of the old world can now heboid a spectacle that most of them hoped never to be realized, the deepseated popular love of liberty that tills the hearts and throbs through the veins at eve ry pulsation of the people of the United States. A more beautiful spectacle could not lie witLesaed. nor a more encouraging one to the wes tern world at least. From the At lantic to the Pacific, from the (lull to the Canadian line that aptrit of freedom, not only for ourselves, hut for the downtrodden of the globe, is manifesting itself in no uncertain term*.

A. For months you drilled regularity every Saturday afternoon under the leadership of populist bosses, and display ed a great amount of patriotism; you were ad dressed by advocates of reform, who instructed you how to make dyna mite bombs. Now we would like to know what has become of this organ ization. One of your lias been mem tiers said the other day that the last lie knew of your regulars was that j “you busted in the head of the bass drum and wauled him to replace it and upon his refusal you quit, but as that report is not official we do not accept it as facts. A little more j light on the subject will greatly in terest the people of this patriotic and loyal locality. We want some body to go to Cuba to fight, and Cap Win kclman's regulars ought to be that somebody for several reasons. First they are on to the dynamite manu-j faeturing racket; second, that they are well drilled and used to military ; tactics; third, that from the braverv j displayed in that campaign showed HH*III I/O ue CHUCK mil mi ugui/ nun of a daredevil disposition. Yes, w« want Sherman county represented in Cuba, and are surprised that these troops have not lieen drilling again since war and rumors of war has been rife. If you were brave enough to fight with those of your own na tion, why thedevil can’t you help lick Spain. If you want to make a record now is your opprotunity, or does the words of one of your mem bers as spoken in town the other day express the sentiments of your whole company, that he “would ra'.her lie a live coward than a dead hero”? or can it be possible that you are en tirely disbanded, and havn't got energy enough to reorganize, or is the rumor true that McKinley's ad ministration has knocked all the tight out of you, politically and otherwise. Information as to your whereabouts and future intentions will be thank fully received. The following account of the ter rable death of Frank Clary, brother of Mrs. VV. N. Sherman of Bristol township this county, is taken from the Akron, Col. Pioneer Press. The citizens ofAkrouwere horri fied and unnerved to a degree un known in the history of our little city, when on Wednesday evening the ru mor was veriefid beyond tjuestion that Frank Clary bad died while in the perfoimance of bis duty—that the cruel wheels of engine No. 244 had crushed the life out of him with in touch of his fellow switchmen, Chas. Ball ami John Humphry, who were powerless to aid him. Strong men wept in sympathy for the little wife who had bade her husband good bye in the morning on depart ing to visit her friend, Mrs. Fleming, in the country. Tears were shed for the man who hud been one of us so many years, and whose devotion to 5 X ‘ Children j They do not complain of 3 anything in particular.

The tragic method ol liis taking off w«is deplored, first, bo cause it seemed he hail everything to live for-appeurantly perfect do mestic relations, and i's attendant happiness; second, a good position, though not always enviable, and li iv mg the implicit confidence of the company: third, possessing a plnsie al manhood seldom met, that under natural conditions would tune brought hitn to an age of usefulness doubtless bound present antiiijei tion; fourth, his fraternal association were of the nature that hisi ice and counsel were songlit after and made a necessity. To particularize it about ii o’clock and soon ofter going on duly for the night, .Mr Clarv arul his assistants, Messrs. Humphrey and Ball, and Terry McAloon as engineer, began their usual opperattous of making up the freight trains. When in the east cud of the yards and after run ning a numb r of ears on the aiding. Mr. Clary stepped in between the engine and ear to break the coupling. The ears were moving slowly, and it is thought that in the effort to pull the connection Frank s right foot, resting on the rail, slipped uudet the wheel of the tender, fastening him there drew him down. He had thrown himself out. however, thus nrohubiv preventing mutilation of his body The wheels passed over lhe right. |. g and severed it at the body, and then across the arm at the shoulder. He requested those present to remove the engine, and without anolhr word he expired with Cha s Ball holding Ins bead out of the cinder* where he had fallen face down. The lifeless form was carried to Or. Brown's office and there prepared for removal home. Mr*. Clary and Miss Lon Bagiey had gone during the day to J. V. Fleming’s ranch, some fifteen miles out to stuy a couple of days during the absence of Mt. Fleming. A messenger, in tin- person of Hugh Black, was sent out to bear the un welcome tidings to the little gather ing of intimates at the ranch. It is useless and probably unnec essary to attempt to portray in cold type the grief of the distracted w ife on her return to the desolute home. Kind friends were present to console her the best they could. The great heart of the entire community go< s out to her in this hour of her great est affliction. “Thy will be done.’’ Frank Clary would have been thir ty-eight years old to-day; and had the promise of his wife’s return to celebrate the event in a small way. He was a native of Iowa, coming west and engaging in the service of the B. & M. railroad at McCook in 188j. On March 25, 18811, he was married to Miss May K. Saver, at Spring Hill. Warren county, Iowa.
