The People’s Paper
ASHLAND.Or. ...Thursday. April 25,1895
COST 900,000,000 BUSHELS.
In the administration ofFrank-
lin Pierce—and it certainly never
was accused of severe economy
—the total cost of the national
government was not quite 40,-
000,000 bushels of wheat per year.
For the fiscal year 1805, during
which the government expended
much more than in any other
year of the war, the total cost
was not quite 700,000,000 bushels
of wheat. Last year it was more
than 800,000,000 bushels, and
what it will be for this fiscal
year God alone knows, for on
the day I write this the export
price of wheat in New York is
56 cents, and the market is noted
as “dull.** It cannot fall below
300,000,000 bushels in any event,
or 30 per cent more than in the
most expensive year of the civil
war.

The Silver Conferences.
There have been three of them al
ready. The one now in prospect will be
the fourth. The peculiar feature about
the conferences gone before is that they
were every one called by the United
States. This time Germany does the
calling. The report of the most careful
observers is that there is a trend in
Europe toward silver. The first silver
or bimetallic international conferenoe
was held at Paris in 1878. The conclu
sions of that conference, from which
Italy and the United States dissented,
were that each country should settle for
itself the question of bimetallism or
monometallism, and that the differences
of opinion were so wide and so bitter
that there could be no international
agreement on a common coinage ratio
between gold and silver.
Again the United States called a bi
metallic conference, in April, 1881. It
also met in Paris. Germany had taken
no part in the first conference. In the
second one she was represented, as also
was India. But the delegates reached no
conclusion whatever. Then came the
third conference, called by President
Harrison in 1892. It met at Brussels.
All the powers of western Europe and
those of Tnrkey, Roumanla and Mexico
besides were represented. The delegates
talked an unconscionable quantity and
again adjourned without making any
recommendations^ It looks now as
though, if they meet again, they will
do something.

DURRANT-WILLIAMS
MURDER.
An inquest was held on the body of
Minnie Williams and every scrap of
evidence was carefully inquired into.
Three days’ time was consumed in the
investigation. A verdict reciting the
causes of death and charging Theodore
Durrant with the murder was rendered
by the jury and was approved by the
coroner.
Durrant’s Nerve.
Durrant, the accused murderer, is a
man of wonderful self-control. All j
through the trying ordeals of the case
he has maintained the greatest compos
ure and appears cheerful and light
hearted. Even if he is innocent this
sang froid is remarkable, as an innocent
man charged with such terrible crimes
would in all likelihood show some nerv
ousness and apprehension.
Minnie Williams was buried at San
Francisco. An immense crowd at
tended the funeral of the little victim.
Blanche Lamont’s body was sent to her
home in Montana.
All the wearing apparel of Blanche
Lamont which was hidden in the garret
of the church by the murderer has been
found. Articles of her dress were scat
tered in remote crevices and pushed un
der the floor of the belfry. Blanche’s
school books which she had with her
when last seen were also found in the
church attic.
So far no suspicion has attached to
any other person than Durrant in con
nection with the most fiendish crime in
criminal annals.
Every phase of the murders at Em
manuel Baptist church as San Fran
cisco were gone over and over by the
newspapers last week. Theodore Dur
rant, the young medical student who is
in jail charged with the murder, as
serts his innocence and says he will get
ciear of all suspicion when the case is
tried. On the other hand, the police
state they have evidence enough against
Durrant to secure a conviction. All the
evidence is circumstantial, but it is
nevertheless very strong.
Durrant’s statements of his where
abouts on several occasions, and espec
ially on the days on which the girls dis
appeared, have been proven false. He
was positively identified by three young
lady classmates of Blanche Lamont as
the man who met the girl after school
the last day she was seen alive. Dur
rant says the girls are mistaken. Two
hours after Durrant was seen with
Blanche Lamont, George King, the or
ganist at the church, saw him come
from the belfry where Miss Lamont's
body was found. Durrant had his coat
off and was pale and agitated and weak.
He told King he had been repairing the
gas fixtures in the loft and was over
come by gas and asked King to get him
a stimulant. It is certain that Durrant
did not repair the gas or electrical fix
tures as there was no necessity for such
work to be done. Durrant will attempt
1
to prove an alibi in the Lamont case.
In the Williams case, the second mur
der,
the evidence agaiust Durrant is
1
i equally strong. He has failed to ex
plain where he was between 8 o’clock
and 9:30 the night the girl was killed.
' She was murdered during that time. At
I 9:30 Durrant appeared at a reception and
.
asked
to wash his hands before joining
'
the other guests. He went to the bath
: room, washed, combed his rumpled hair
and arranged his clothing. The dead
girl’s purse was found in his overcoat
pocket the following day.
Everything seems to point to Durrant
as the guilty man. The whole detective
force of San Francisco and a small army
of newspaper men have been searching
everywhere for matter bearing on the
case. It would seem that every possi
ble effort has been made to ferret out
the fiend, and everything relevant to
the crime points to Durrant.

Christopher Columbus Ritter, who ar
rived from Germany in the winter of
1831, and through J. Wilkes Booth’s in
fluence secured a position in Ford’s the
atre at Washington, tells the story of
Lincoln’s assassination, claiming that
Boston Corbett shot Edward Fuchs, the
actor resembling Booth, and not Presi
dent Lincoln’s assassin. Ritter, who
lives at Newark, O., is well educated
and his character is above reproach. He
declared that he assisted Booth to es i
cape and that they sailed for Brazil on
May 2, 1865. Ritter soon left Brazil,
but says he met Booth by appointment
in Hamburg 11 years ago, and on that
occasion Booth gave him pictures of his
children born of a South American wife.
These pictures, bearing a strong resem
blance to Booth, are now in Ritter’s
possession. Ritter says he heard from
Booth last winter and he was then on

poisonous germs which enter the system.
Just so surely as the liver regulates the
system, so do Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets
regulate the liver. Keep this in mind, and
you solve the problem of good health and
good living. The “ Pleasant Pellets ” have
a tonic, strengthening effect upon the lin
ing membranes of the stomach and bowels,
which effectually cures Biliousness, Sick
Headache, Costiveness, or Constipation,
Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Bad Taste
in Mouth, Sour Risings from Stomach,
and will often cure Dyspepsia. The “Pel
lets” are tiny, because the vegetable ex
tracts are refined and concentrated. Easy
in action, no griping as with old-fashioned
pills. As a “dinner pill,” to promote di
gestion, take one each day after dinner.
To relieve tbe distress arising from over
eating, nothing equals one of these little
“Pellets.”
Mrs. M elissa A twater , of Steuben,
