PERSONAL. AND SOCIAL
Bryan Club Meeting Speech.
The city hall was well filled with an
audience of earnest men and women last
Saturday night, assembled to hear Hon.
W. M. Colvig, of Jacksonville, discuss the
political issues under an invitation of the
Bryan club of Ashland. The speaker
was introduced by the president of the
club, Mr. Loucks. He began bis speech
by a statement of the history of the early
attempts of the money power of this
country to influence and shape financial
legislation ; dwelling particularly on the
contest begun in 1828 bv thé United
States bank, with Nathaniel Biddle at its
bead, for a recbarter of that institution,
against the forces led by Andrew JackBon
who opposed it, and showed that the
methods of intimidation and oppressive
conspiracy of organized plutocracy prac
ticed then to attain the purposes of the
United States bank were precisely like
those being worked now by the single
gold standard party, only differing in the
greater magnitude of the power of the
latter and their greater capacity to
oppress the people. There was a sub
sidized metropolitan press in those days
using its influence to give organized
capital control of the currency of the peo
ple just as it is being used today to fur
ther the wicked purposes of the gold con
spirators of the world. He showed that
the silver dollar of 37B4 grains of pure
silver bad never been changed since its
adoption in 1792, though the gold dollar
bad been changed twice to preserve a
stability of the ratio.
All important reforms in legislation
bad, a6 a rule, originated with the peo-
pie, lhe desire for the changes being ex-
pressed through the agencies of their
political primaries and conventions, ex
cept in the case of the legislation of 1873
which struck out the silver dollar from
our coinage laws, Tnere had been abso
lutely no movement among the people to
demonetize silver, and as a matter of fact
it was done without their knowledge,
without discussion, and without the
knowledge of the great majority of the
members of the congress which passed
the law.
He quoted some of the political plat
forms affirming fidelity to bimetallism
and read the Oregon state republican
platform of 1890 pledging the party to the
free coinage of silyer and among the
names of the committee on platform
signed to this resolution were those of
B. B. Beekman, H. B. Miller, C. B.
Watson and Tbos. Tongue. All these
men who were “anarchists” then are
true gold bugs and patriots now, filled
with zeal and solicitude for the interests
of the laboring man.
Mr. Colvig closed with an urgent ap
peal to all citizens to avail themselves of
the opportunity afforded this year to rise
above old party ties and vote for their
own interests and the independence of
their country. Mr. Bryan was not simp
ly the candidate of the democratic party;
nor of the populist party; nor of the sil
ver party. He was the standard bearer
of the great masses—the producing
classes against the gold monometallic
conspiracy and the rule of plutocrats.

Arrested for the Waldo Murder.
Grants Pass, Sept, 1.—Thealleged slay
er ol Charlie Perry, was arrested by
Sheriff Fred Ferguson, of DelNortecoun-
tv, Cal,, and lodged in jail. His name is
Melson, not Nealson, as at first reported.
An inquest was held at Payne, near
Waldo, Or., and the coroner’s jury
brought in a verdict of willful murder
against him.
When Perry quit work at the Waldo
copper mines, Melson followed him to
Grants Pass, and after Perry received his
wages from the office of the copper com
pany, Melson then induced him to go
back to Waldo, saying that he (Melson)
would give him an interest in a rich
placer claim. When W. H. Wood, who
was in charge of the smelter, was getting
on the train at this place to go home to
Portland, Perry went to the station to
bid him farewell, and Melson was then
with Perry. That was the last Mr. Wood
saw of him. Two months ago, Mr. Wood
went to Crescent City to examine some
copper claims for parties in the East, and
on passing Waldo he made inquiries
about Perry and found that Melson had
sold Perry’s watch, as reported. When
Wood reached Creacent City, he reported
the matter to the sheriff, who immedi
ately made inquiry about the murdered
man’s watch and found it in Humboldt
county, Cal. Sheriff Ferguson had
searched for the missing man. but failed
to find him. About three weeks ago Mr.
Wood was ordered to go and examine
the copper mines again, and on this
occasion he again made inquiry after Per
ry. Wood talked the matter over with
the prosecuting attorney of Del Norte
county and the sheriff, who came to the
conclusion that Perry had been murder
ed and that Melson was his slayer, and
that robbery was the motive.
Some two weeks ago Frank Gay, who
did the teaming at the copper mines, was
ordered by Ferguson to take as many
men as be required and go to Payne, on
the Oregon line, and look for the body of
Perrry. Gay and his party tramped the
mountains from daylight till dark, and
tired out in the beat of the sun, they
beaded for an old well to get a drink.
When they got to the well one of the
party saw an empty rifle shell on the
ground, and be said, “Boys, let us ex
amine the well.” They discovered the
shoes of a man just covered by the water
and closer examination revealed the
body, head downwards. Gay reported
immediately to the sheriff, who lost no
time in arresting Melson for the murder
of Perry.
When Perry’s body was taken from
the well by the sheriff and coroner it
was found loaded down with rocks, and
a bullet wound was found under the
shoulder, passing through the body and
shattering the right arm, showing that
he was shot from behind. His watch was
missing, and his money and purse gone.
When Perry was working at the copper
mines on Illinois river he got bis watch
repaired at Grant’s Pass, so the number
cannot be found, but Mr. Wood and oth
ers can swear positively to the watch.
The body of the murdered man was in no
way decomposed, so identification was
easv.

Several prospectors and miners have dis-
sappeared in Southern Oregon during the
past few years. A Mr. Richards left Waldo
tor Gold Basin about four years ago with
another man on a prospecting trip, and a
few days later Richards’ companion re
turned to the camp, saying that Richards
went on to Idaho. Richards had $700 on
him, and 41,000 at Interest with a man
named Thompson, living near the mouth
of the Rogue river. Foul play is suspected
as he has never called formoney or interest.
This time twelve months ago a man named
Reed lost his life near the Illinois copper
mines, on the Geld Basin trail, under sus
picious circumstances, and six weeks ago
a man named Young, one of the two men
who saw Reed lose his life, was murdered
near the same place. Reed was an Irish
man. He was a steady and respectable
man. He had some money and nothing
was found on him but his go.d watch. If
Reed met with foul play it will come out
yet. About three years ago an old miner
on Evans creek committed from eight to
twelve murders, all for wages, before he
was killed by twe men whom he had hired
and whom he attempted to murder at the
dead of night that he might save their
wages. This hend’s name was Wyones,
and the parched bones of his victims tell
only a part of his record.

Valuable Patent Right Sale.
Earneet A. Carter has filed a caveat for
a patent in Washington through the
Wedderburn Agency on a tombstone
made.of a composition in which ground
glass is the basic element, that is attract
ing considerable attention and is likelv
to prove very profitable. The inventor
characterizes the process by which the
stone is made as “granitizing” and claims
that in finish and durability when shaped
into monuments and simple headstones
it surpasses granite, marble or other
natural ornamental stones. It is made
in beautiful colors and designs by acid
stains and is inexpensive as compared
with cuttings in marble or granite and is
therefore a formidable competitor with
these stones in cemetary demands. Mr.
Carter has received letters from parties
in the East and in Europe seeking imor-
uiation respecting this invention, iaclud-
ing one from a patent firm requesting bis
photograph and a sketch of his personal
history. He is also recently iu possesion
of a “Reward of Genius Medal” from
Washington.D.C. Compliments are pour
ing in upon this fortunate inventor in a
way that seemB to justify bis wearing a
medal of this kind and gives strong assur
ance that fortune’s favor will be dispensed
to him with a liberal band.
This week be has sold to the capitalist,
George W. Stephenson and Eli Ellis of
Ashland the exclusive right to this patent
over the states of Oregon and Washing
ton, except seven counties, which carries
the privelege of both manufacture and
sale of the stone,for the sum of $4000. As
will-be seen by an advertisement else
where in this issue, Messrs. Stephenson
and Ellis are offering for sale sub-districts
witbin their territory for exclusive or
partial privileges over this patent.
