SUFFERED DEATH. Van Looa, the Columbus Grove Murderer, Executed. Oolnmbus special: Thursday was the last day on earth for Frank Van Loon, the murderer, who has made such a fight for life. Early in the morningDavid Van Loon, the condemned man's father, Mrs. Van Loon, the prisoner's wile, and their attorney, iL L. Dewitt, were at the Governor's office. Other visits were made during the forenoon, but Gor. MeKinley kindly but firmly refused to interfere with the execution of the law's sentence. This fact was made known to Van Loon in his cell oy his brother-in-law, Oyler, and the prisoner at once became roaring wild and totally collapsed. He afterwards became quieter and engaged with Chaplin Dudley in prayer. He bade his wife and relatives farewell in a very cold and indifferent way. He was hanged in the prison at night. During the afternoon a telegram was received that Van Loon's child was dying at Galena, Ohio. It had been ill for some time. The crime for which Van Loon suffered death was committed at Columbus Grove, Ohio, August 8, 1891. That day he entered the Exchange Bank there, and, flourishing two revolvers, demanded the bank's money of Cashier Maple. Before that gentleman could do anything, Van Loon fired at him three times, two shots taking effect in Maple's arm and side. At this moment William Vandermark, an old farmer, entered the room. Van Loon started to leave, and meeting the old . man placed a revolver against him, fired into his abdomen and lied. Vandermark died the next day. The bank was then deserted and the bandit helped himself to the cash, taking about $1,200. He made good his escape as the people of the town were terrorized. William Roberts was arrested for the crime and positively identified by witnesses, but afterward released and Van Loon arrested. The latter, who had always been broke, displayed large sums of money to some relatives who disliked him. After a' hard fought trial Van Loon was convicted. The case was contested in the circuit and supreme courts, the sentence of death being confirmed in each. OLD PEOPLE ATTACKED. Three Masked Men Try to Extort Money From Them. The other night three masked men entered the residence of A. Beam, residing near Somerset, Pa., a retired farmer, 97 years of age. and finding Mr. and Mrs. Beam alone demanded their money. Mrs. Beam handed them a pocketbook containing less than a dollar. The robbers turned furiously upon the old couple and beat them in a horrible manner. A piece of firewood was forced down Mr. Beam's throat in an effort to extort from him the hiding place of his supposed wealth. The old gentleman lost consciousness, and the robbers, thinking they had killed him, knocked Mrs. Beam senseless with a club, and fled. Mrs. Beam finally recovered and rang the dinner bell to arouse the neighbors, several of whom responded.- Dr. Coude says it is doubtful whether Mr. Beam wfll recover. No trace of the robbers has been found. Mrs. Beam is unable to give a description of the Deadly Explosion. Berlyj special: A disastrous explosion occurred on board the German armor-clad steamer, Baden, at Keil. Lieutenants Oelsner'and Zembsch and seven seamen were killed and seventeen persons were wounded. It appears that some of the men had just removed from the magazine a grenade measuring twenty-six centimetres is diameter. Through some cause not yet explained the grenade exploded, killing or wounding nearly every person in the immediate vicinity. Drilling; for Gold. Ben Fulton, an oil well contractor of Portland, Ind.. is of the opinion that there is gold underlying Jay County, and with that end in view he is sinking a shaft in search of the yellow metal, in Jackson Township. He is doing his drilling on a small knoll and is backed by a minerologist, who feels confident that it can be found. (Matched for the Championship.

No banlo at New York or at other Eastern cities and no Eastern Arms of large Importance have gone down, but numerous banks failed at the West, Including some of high repute and largo bus ne-s. iiut through all tho strain tbo banks of New York have passed without trouble, and Imports of gold have commenced. From 51,1100,000 to $5,000,000 in money had bees sent West every day, and a largo decrease in bank reserves Is expected, as the Troasury has not been disbursing heavily. Few commercial loans have been negotiated, and at bl.h rates. At other cities the money markets have beon quite close. --John Cudahy, tbe great Chicago packer and famous speculator, failed Tuesday on the Heard of Trade. Ho had been hard pressed for sovorai days, but his resources were so lmmenso that It was thought he might poll through. It was feared thon that before the end of the session a greater sensation v as In store, and the fear j roved well grounded, Tho embarrassment of A. W.

The failures so far as now known are as follows: John Cudahy, J. G. Stenver & Co., F. W. Bailey & Co , A. lleinjholz & Co., Wright & Haushey, Northwestern Packing Company.

SILVER MEN FROM FORTY-TWO STATES MEET. They Deelnre for the Itcstoration of the White Metal to Its Place as Part of the Money of the Nation Kight Hundred and Ten Delegates In Attendance. Demands Made by the West. Chicago Special: Tho attendance at the National Silver Convention which met in Chicago was lai'fjor than that of any previous assembly of like character in tho history of financial agitation. The army of delegates assembled overcrowded the First Methodist Church auditorium an hour before the mooting; was called to ordor, and it was early apparent that a larger hull would, have to bo sought for future sessions. Eight hundred anil ten delegates from forty-two States and Territories, representing all political parties and every shade of political bolief, rallied to discuss silver. It was an enthusiastic body of men. They had met for a single, purpose, and they kept thut purpose steadily in mind'. A grave crisis, as they viewed it, had called them together. When Chairman Warner of the Bimetallic League called tho convention to order, scores of delegates were obliged to stand in the aisles, but all took tho inconvenience good naturcdly, THE CONVENTION IN SESSION as the convention was so largely attended. After a few opening words, Chairman Warner introduced Mayor Harrison of Chicago, who welcomed the delegates to the city. Among other things he said: In almost prehistoric times we know that gold and Bilver were the money metals of the world. (Jold is found in pockets, it is the fralt of chance, hut silver is worked out ot the roekH by hard, methodical, inevitable labor. They say that those who believe In bimetallism are crazy. If the act of l":l eould be blotted from the axraaln of American political action, I believe that silver would he worth Viit cents an onnce. lie wise in yonr deliberations, but be fearless. Congress is about to meet, (iive the benefit of your deliberations to Congress, and tell tirover Cleveland what the people of the t'nited .States want. 1 welcome you all. Thomas-M. 1'atterson. in responding to Mayor Harrison's address, said: I know that the Mayor of ChieaKo is heart and eonl in the cause. Chicane is not a "goldling" city. Those who so assert know only the opinions of the bankers of t liis city. The bimetalllsts are the conservative eleimnt of the country. Thev call us lunatics: eray lunatics. Do we ask for anything new? Allwea.sk for is that tiie law of lT-.i-. the law trained byAlexander Hamilton, the law approved by Geortre Washington, shall be restored to tho statute books without blottiug out a letter or the omission of a line. When the Chicago Clearing House Association bankers meet, let them recall that it. Is not the tariff inea-ure that adds to the circnlat ing medium ot the country, but that it is their policy that has struck down silver and has caused those who have lost part of t.heir money to fear for the remainder and to withdraw It from circulation. Gen. AVunier Aluker. His A,l,lceSH. Gen. Warner called .lodge Miller, of Illinois, to the chair while he delivered his address as President of the Bimetallic League. The address was an exhaustive discussion of the causes of the present linancial depression, tracing them directly to the demonetization of silver in l'-, which he characterized as a crime. By it the money of the world had been decreased onehalf, thereby reducing the value of everything but the evidences of debt. These it had enhanced. During the course of his remarks he said: How the United States conld ever have been ensnared into such a plot as that of ls73 J cannot understand. My only explanation of if, is that they were taken unawares. Nobody at that time knew that 'he Sherman act demonetized silver. The President did nut know, the Senate dl n't know it. tin presiding oilteer didn't know it there was only one man who knew it, and he has not been hanged or Int IIA1HMAN W. TUCttMAS. dieted fortreason. If ever a sepuleher stalked abroad It is the perpetrator of that measure. That act will lie known in history as "the crime of ls7:t." Let the names of those who are con- ! nected with it rot in oblivion. 1 he compromise we ofter is to put us back under the laws that obtained prior to i-7a. At the. close of (ion. Warner's speech the delegates jumped up in their seats and gave three wild hurrahs for him. A committee on credentials was then appointed, consisting of one member from oach State. On motion of exCongressman Svmes, of Colorado, tho Chal rman was authorized to appoint a committee of five on permanent organization. As this committee, the Chairman named Hymen of Colorado. Reagan of Texas. Washburn of Massachusetts, and Fullinwider of Illinois. A committee consisting of one delegate from each Btnte was authorized to lie appointed on rules and ordor of business, this appointmi nt to be made by the various State and Tei-vitorial delegations. The Commttti'e on Permanent Organization was also authorized to select a larger hall in which to hold the sessions of the convention. Tho convention then adjourned until 2:30 p. m. The afternoon session was held at Central Music Hall. The various State delegations filled Ihcentii c lower floor. Colorado, with its big delegation, took up a position in front and to the left of the stage. 1 m mediately back of Colorado sat the Nebraska men, and behind them a goodly iHUnbi'i' from California, Iowa and New Mexico sat side by sido to the right in front. Hack of them Illinois' big delegation kept up its quarrel during most of the meeting. Indiana. Pennsylvania, and Washington had to lind seat back of the railing. The committee on jH.riuaneut organization I'. porti.'d loiiuiM-nding Alien W. Tliiii-man, of Ohio, son of the "Old Roman," as permanent hairinau of the convention. The report was ratified by a unanimous vote, and Chairman Tnurman, being introduced by the retiring Chairman, was received with great applause, and spoke in substance as follows: MB.

No mntK-r what may be nnl to the contrary, thin means, fur years and yearn to come, its reduction to 1 oken money, alter which i he issue ienolv-s itself down simply to the question whether j aper money of the country is to he issued by oaiikintr corporations upon the debts of the reople or upon other kinds of (Torpnrute securit ies, or whether it is to ret npn the broad and safe basts of Rold and silver. This is so because told alone certainly cannot afford a sufficient basis upon till! ai AT CENTRAL MI'HC 11 A I. which the amount of circulating medium required by the people of this country can safely rest. Not a (JUeitloil of l'olltles. Chairman Thomas, of Colorado, stirred up a hornet's nest when he suggested that three men from each State, one representing each of tho great political parties, be selected for the Committee on Bosolutions. Cries of "No parties here" a" so from all over tho house, and Donald Fletcher, of Colorado, jimi ed up. shouting: "This convention will lie branded as a tool of one of t ie t hree great parties if we do t'iat, 1 et us stand together and we'll make a new parly the American pat ty of free coinage.'' Paul Vandervooi t, of Nebraska, caught tho chairman's eye. "The People's party is the only party that advocates free coinage," sird !o'. "and we won t call it back for anything. We are tint here to form a new p:trty. If that is the object, and if an attempt is made to carry it out, there will lie a good many vacant seats in this convention." Senator Reagan of Toy as was called up, n to smooth over the trouble that wa- brewing. "We came here as citizens for the purpose of arresting the rule of the bondholders," ho declared, "and restoring the country to a emidition of prosperity. The vorv moment we introduce the question of politics we cau.se strife and dissension, and we injure our power. Don't do it." The Senator's speech had a good effect and Mr. Thomas withdrew his motion, while the delegates yeliod. Tho committce on resolutions was then announced. T. V. Powderly. the labor leader, was called upon to speak. Mr. Powderly said he was here to represent labor. '"Being an American, i believe we are capable of managing our own affairs and making our own currency without heeding any demands from across the water, '' said he. "Covernor Waite has lieen criticised because ho referred to the people across the water. He was right. If there ever was a time wh'?n there was need of cool and calm deliberation now is the time.

StomachLiver Cure

The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred Years. It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced j into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great j South American Nerviue Tonic, and yet its great value as a curatfve j agent has long been known by a few of the most learned physicians, i who have not brought its merits and value to tho knowledge of the j general public. j This medicine has completely solved the problem of the cure of indi-' gestion, dyspepsia, and diseases of the general nervous system. It is ; also of the greatest value in the cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by the great nervine tonic qualities which it possesses, and by its g:'"b curative powers upon the digestive ; organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares j with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strength- j ener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great renewer of a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in I

the treatment nnu cure ot diseases oi the lungs tuan any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to use this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for the space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over the danger. This great strongthener and curative is of inestimable value to the aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each year. IT IS A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF

Nervousness, Nervous Prostration, Nervous Headache, Sick Headache, Female Weakness, Nervous Chills, Paralysis, Nervous Paroxysms and Nervous Choking, Hot Flashes, Palpitation of the Heart, Mental Despondency, Sleeplessness, St. Vitus' Dance, Nervousness of Females, Nervousness of Old Age, Neuralgia, Pains in the Heart, Pains in the Back, Failing Health,

Summer Complaint of Infants.

All these and many other complaints cured by this wonderful Nervine Tonic. MEBTOUS DISEASES. As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired diges tion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal 'marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become strong when the right kind of food is supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As the nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of the body are carried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food does not contain a sufficient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous derangement.
