1456 Hampshire street, the swell portion of the city, were shocked this afternoon by the suicide of Ralph, the 13-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Turner, who reside at that number. Ralph was playing in the wet grass and his mother called him in and made him change his clothing and take a warm foot bath. Ralph was angry because he was not allowed to play out doors, and went into the attic, where he had been in the habit of reading.

His mother noticed that he was sulky and in an unpleasant mood, and about twenty minutes later she called to him and asked him to come and see something she had. He made no reply, and she went into the attic. She found him banging to a post. Her screams attracted Miss Lora Brooker to the house, and the two cut the boy down and summoned medical aid, but it was too late. The boy used a large United States flag twisted to end his life with.

His playmates say that he told them that he bad tried to hang himself once and would try it again. His parents knew of no former attempt that he had made. Mrs. Turner is of the opinion that her son did it to frighten her for calling him in to the house, but she does not believe that he intended to commit suicide. She thinks that in trying to scare her he went too far.

INVENTOR IS KILLED AT A TEST. Fatal Trial of Machine Made to Separate Milk from Cream. Pittsburg, June Telegram. -Some days ago Philip Diehl, Martin Winterhalter, William Calteryahn, and James D. Linn secured a patent on a machine that they claimed would separate milk from cream.

The machine is a steam cylinder-shaped vessel, and held only four quarts. It was built to revolve 8,300 times per minute. Today, when this was increased to 13,000 revolutions, the fly wheel burst. Diehl was killed by a piece of the wheel, tearing a large hole in his abdomen, and Winterhalter and Calteryahn were badly injured by flying pieces of the broken milk machine.

PRICE TWO CENTS. CHICAGO, MAY MOVE CITY HALL.

Plan on Foot to Locate It on the West Side. UNION PARK FAVORED Aldermen Are Talking of the Scheme. President Healy Says They Must Either Vacate or Pay Rent. There is a serious plan on foot to move the City Hall. The aldermen are talking of it, and before the summer vacation is taken en ordinance to that effect will be introduced in the Council.

It is not the intention to put the huge pile at the corner of Washington and La Salle streets on rollers and push it away, but to erect a new and more commodious building in some other locality in which to provide space for the transaction of city business. There are many reasons assigned for the mooted The extreme West Side aldermen say the center of Chicago is in the vicinity of Union Park, while the aldermen from the southwest and outlying wards want the new building put somewhere in the vicinIty of Twelfth and Halsted streets. Another reason for the proposed change is that the city may soon be forced either to move or pay rent. The county claims the land upon which the City Hall stands. A is now pending in the Supreme Court in suit regard to the title.

It was fully argued at the March term, and one of the Supreme Judges is to deliver the decision this month. County Claims the Land. From a very reliable source it was learned yesterday that this decision had been fully prepared. A certain Circuit Judge has seen it and is authority for the statement that it decides the City Hall ground belongs to the county. This will place the ownership in the hands of the County Board, which will demand a high rental for the property.

Rather than pay something in the neighborhood of 000 a year, it is said, the aldermen will either purchase a new site or erect a modern building in one of the near-by West Side parks. This question has been quietly agitated among the aldermen for some time. Alderman O'Neill, a few weeks ago, introduced an order for estimates as to the cost of renovating the building. It is now said that in going over the City Hall, preparatory to making the estimate, City Architect Watson has found that it would take almost as much money to put the huge pile in thorough order as it would to erect a new structure. Cracks in the West Wall.

In the west wall, just at the mayor's office, and extending from the roof cornice to the basement, are two large fissures, and in several other places the stone has spilt and chipped off. To properly correct the settling of the building, it is said, the entire underpinning and superstructure must be rebuilt, and this, it is claimed, will cost a fortune. City Architect Watson refused to say anything on the subject yesterday, as be said his report was uncompleted. Alderman Campbell, chairman of the wharves and public grounds committee, said: "I am in favor of putting up a new City Hall on the West Side. Union Park is the center of the city, and it should go out there.

The present locality is too congested. We need a new building and the West Side wauts it." Want It on the West Side. Alderman Utesch, of the Thirty-First Ward, said he had been approached on the scheme and favored removing the city's business. "The City Hall is too far north," said he. "Business is rapidly running south and west, and the city should take the initiative.

I am in favor of placing the new building on the West Side, south of Madison street, and near Halsted street. About Halsted and Twelfth streets would be the proper location. If the hall is moved the present congested condition of this part of town would be removed. It would spread out the business and relieve some of the pressure on the building of sky-scrapers." Alderman Noble said: "I would favor a plan to move the City Hall. I think all of the aldermen except those of the South and North towns would also be with the proposition.

We need a new building, and I am with the West Side." President Healy, of the county board, said: "The City Hall will have to move. The county owns the ground, and has the title deed beyond the shadow of a doubt. I think we will get a decision from the Supreme Court in a few days, and I believe it will confirm the county's ownership. Then if the city doesn't want to move it must pay rent." A similar plan for locating the City Hall was agitated about fifteen years ago. It was then proposed to build at the corner of Madison and Sangamon streets.

PEACH- Craft GINGER POLICY DR FOUNT HE NEEDS IT The New the kid to have, ma'am Columbia- straight!" silver movement is dying out is not true. It is reported so by gold-standard papers for effect, During the heated season less interest is manifested on the surface on any subject claiming public attention, and this -may be true In part as to the national campaign of 1896, that may be said to have already begun west of the Allegheny Mountains.

The movement is growing constantly and reSects a deep-seated conviction among the people that an increase in the primary or redemption money of the government is necessary to restore prices and save the property of the debtors from passing into the hands of the creditors. The question has assumed an importance with the people far beyond mere allegiance to parties, and the feeling is such as results from a conviction that the Republic itself is in danger. It Is Among the People. Political leaders as a rule, however, in the two old parties are trying to keep the question down and save their parties from disruption. The silver movement is among the people and not to any great extent among politicians.

vote taken here by the Morning Record of legally authorized city voters, closing yesterday, at which about 13,000 votes were polled, showed nearly two to one in favor of free coinage and independent action of this government. The agricultural -papers published in this city are all for free coinage and independent action, and claim that a vote outside of the large cities will give result of four to one in favor of that policy. Congressman-Elect Towne, of Duluth, Minn, who passed through here yesterday en route to the Cleveland convention, tells me that he and other Republicans of Minnesota will at an early date call a convention in his State similar to the Democratic free coinage convention that was recently held in this State. He further says that the movement is spreading in the Northwest, that nothing can stop it, and that he and his people: believe that liberty itself is involved in the issue. Similarly reliable Information indicates conventions in all the States from Indiana west.

A mass meeting to continue for one week is being arranged for at Nashville, for September. My mail indicates the greatest number of conversions of any one class to be among the clergymen, and in the next six months with a large number of people the movement will assume a religious form. This is to be accounted for when you understand that those who have gotten at the bottom of this question consider that a great moral wrong was committed when silver, the money of the people, was deprived of its legal tender and redemption qualities, and these powers given to gold alone, which has since been cornered by the money changers, who are responsible for what is regarded as a crime in destroying silver as real money. It is a blow at the integrity of the Nation, and is regarded as a national crime. Prominent Republicans and Democrats from several States in the central West and South, who expect to be delegates at the next national conventions, tell me they will bolt their conventions if a platform is adopted that straddles or compromises on the subject.

Our people will understand that the money power acting in concert is making money easy purposely and doing all it can to boom business, and will keep it up till the election next year it can keep the Rothschild gold syndicate behind the government that long. And the people also understand that the same power that is doing this can crush business by making money tight whenever it sees fit to do so. We intend to free ourselves from such a financial system. The strength of the silver movement is that the people are generally educated on the subject and cannot be again deceived by the usual stock arguments or any sharp practice that may be resorted to for the purpose of misleading them. The question also has a deeper significance.

A majority of the people regard it as a choice between an English and an American policy. That the success of the gold standard means the introduction into this country of the most harmful features that accompany a moneyed aristocracy in control of the government. As a summary: You may expect in the next six months numerous conventions and mass meetings in the West and South, including a national Democratic convention and a national Republican convention. The movement will not down till we have freed the United States from the influence of plutocracy, re-established the Republic on the foundation intended for it by Jefferson and Lincoln, and extended a friendly hand to all the liberty-loving people of the Western Hemisphere.

CALLS EXTRA SESSION Governor Altgeld Summons Legislators to Meet Again. DATE NEXT TUESDAY Eleven Topics Named for the Members to Act Upon. REVENUE BILL IS FIRST. Tax Levy Also Said to Be Short of the Requirements. Prospect That the Majority May Decide to Take a Recess Until Next Fail.

Springfield, June -Governor Altgeld today surprised nearly every one connected with the State administration, and nearly every citizen of the State as well, by issuing a proelamation calling an extra session of the Legislature, to meet June 25 at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The document is one of the most important ever issued by an executive of this State, and the extra session, it is said, will have more work to perform than any previous extra session since Illinois became a State. The call mentions eleven subjects upon which the Legislature can act. Beyond these do nothing. The proclamation is as it can follows: State of Illinois, Executive Department, Spring-To the members of the Senate and field, Ill.

the House of Representatives, constituting the Assembly of the State of Illinois, and General to all other persons whom it may concern: the Tax Levy Is Too Low. Says Gentlemen: Aside from the $2,000,000 which the law requires to be levied and collected for school the General Assembly has made appurposes, propriations for various purposes to be expended during the next two fiscal years amounting to about $7,600,000. The income from the Illinois Central Railway and from the various State offices and other sources during these two years will be about $1,600,000, thus leaving about 000 to be raised by taxation. Yet in spite of this fact the General Assembly has authorized a tax levy of only $2,500,000 a year, or $5,000,000 for the two years, thus forcing a shortage of 000 in the State treasury and doing so by legislation. I cannot understand this method of financlering, and I submit that the good name and credit of this great and wealthy State should not be thus trifled with, neither for partisan nor for any other purpose.

If any of these appropriations are for improper purposes then they should not have been made; but having been made both the honor of the State and good business methods require that the money be raised to pay, them. So far as I am advised, the appropriations as a whole are all right, and are necessary to promote the welfare of the State; and considering the fact that $500,000 had to be appropriated to pay the expense of suppressing the riots of 1894 and of rebuilding the Anna asylum they are not extravagant, but compare very favorably with those of prior sessions. In fact, those made for State government purposes are lower in proportion to the work to be done than they ever have been in the history of the State. At present the affairs of the State are, as a rule, in splendid order, and, notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary for partisan purposes, the State treasury is in excellent condition, and can be kept so if the General Assembly will permit a tax levy for a sufficient sum to meet the appropriations which the General Assembly has itself made. Toples to Be Considered.

Again, when the last General Assembly began early in January, there were a number of questions vitally affecting the welfare of our people which demanded legislation. After being in session upward of five months the General Assembly has adjourned without taking action on these important measures. 2. The State has demanded a revision of the revenue law, because at present a very large proportion of the wealth of the State escapes all taxation and the burdens of government tall heavily on the people of moderate means. 3.

The people demanded a State board of equallzation that would not shield certain great corportions from taxation. 4. A class of abuses has grown up in the justice and police courts of larger cities which have for years been called infamous. 5. Chicago has over 1,500,000 inhabitants, is one of the great commercial centers of the world, and has one of the most expensive judicial systems to be found, and yet its citizens have practically to submit to a denial of justice because it takes almost half a generation to get through with a lawsuit because of a bad system.

Since the recent decision of the Supreme Court relating to the factory inspection law thousands of children under 14 years of age are being crowded into factories and stores, often doing the work of adults for a pittance, stuntIng their lives and growing up to be inferior men and women, and yet nothing has been done to prevent this degeneration. In the Interests of Labor, 7. A year ago one of the large employers of the State went to the sea shore and the Thousand Islands while his men were on strike, and it cost the city of Chicago and the State a very large sum of money to protect his property, and the State could not even inquire into the cause of the trouble. As we have one of the greatest industrial States in the world and similar conditions constantly arise the public demanded some measure of conciliation and inquiry in regard to the cause of the trouble in such cases. A mild measure was proposed, but the corporation lobbyists objected and the public, which pays the bills, is left helpless.

heavy enough to reduce the general average of 8. Sleeping cars are as much of a necessity to the business traveling public as are railroads. While railroad charges have fallen more than third, with a reduction of business, and while the prices of other things have fallen, sleeping car charges are practically as high as they ever were, although the business has increased more than fivefold. Justice calls for relief from this extortion and for a reasonable regulation, such as exists in regard to railroads, but the monopoly objected, and no relief has been given. 9.

At present a few individuals can select and thus practically pack a grand jury in Chicago, so that a few men have it in their power to shield some offenders, and also to cause a grand jury to carry out partisan schemes. Consequently the grand juries of Cook County have been used repeatedly in recent years to influence public sentiment with reference to a prospective election by indicting upward of one hundred men on sensational charges, and when the elections were over and the public had lost interest in the matter the cases were all thrown out of court because nothing could be proven. This method of prostituting the machinery of the court should be stopped and the law should be so changed that it will not be in the power of a few men to name and control a grand jury.

Now, it the New York system, or any other, Is really better than ours, then steps should have been taken to adopt it.

Promising Gold Fields Are Discovered In Oklahoma. Guthrie, 0. June Stories of remarkable finds are still coming in from the new gold fields. John Ennis and R. A.

Gregory, claimholders in Washita County, came in today from the scene of the gold find there. They state that along Boggy Creek there is an outcropping of a vein of ore from two to four feet in thickness, and that all of the tests known to assayers show there is gold in it. One man has made assays running from $200 to $1,500 per ton. An area ten miles square is now staked off in mining claims, and there are indications of the deposits for over forty miles. The town of Golden has been laid off at the edge of the field and lots are reported to be already selling at tremendous prices.

Hundreds of wagons are taking in lumber and buildings are going up and stores are being started. While the excitement is intense, there has been no trouble, and as yet but little work is being done. All seem to be waiting for the report of an official assayer, as everybody is suspicious of his neighbor and afraid the thing is too good to be true. If the official assays show anything like the local assays, the rush into the country will be beyond all precedent. ORDER IS GAINING GROUND.

Report of the National Councilor of the American Mechanies. Omaha, June The twenty-fifth national convention of the Order of American Mechanics began business with a rush today. The morning session was devoted to passing upon credentials and admitting new representatives sent through the increase of the order and of the basis of representation. Iowa's delegation was temporarily refused seats, owing to question whether the requisite number of councils existed in good standing in that State to entitle it to representation. Judge Archter, national councilor, submitted his report setting forth that despite business depression the order had in the last year gained instead of lost, and had now thirty State councils and subordinate councils in ten other States.

Maine, Minnesota, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana are the States where the flag of the order has been unfurled last year. The report in detail touches upon the Western States, and reports Nebraska gained six councils, making eleven, but lost 150 members; Colorado showed the largest gain of any Western State, having 900 new members; Iowa shows a slight loss; Missouri shows gains in councils but loss in membership; Kansas has gained 350 members.

Osborn, who a few days ago purchased the certificate. This plece of property has been the cause of a prolonged litigation, and is still in an unsettled state so far as Patrick H.

It Is Now Said the Luning Estate Was in the Enterprise, San Francisco, June Special Telegram. -The Fair wheat deal has had sensational sequels, but if rumors on the street today can be confirmed all previous stories will be cast in the shade, for the talk among wheat brokers today has been that the Luning estate was equally involved with Fair in the deal and should have stood half the loss. On the surface it appears that Fair borrowed 000 from George Whittell, who is manager of the Luning estate, and that interest on this brought the whole amount of his debt up to $1,400,000. Those who claim to have inside information declare that Whittell was Fair's agent in the deal when Fair was away from the city, and that Fair induced Whittell to go in with him as partner. If any papers were executed between Fair and Whittell pledging the Luning estate to stand half the loss and reap half the profit no one has seen them.

There are sensational stories as to the methods employed by the alleged living partner in the deal to silence clerks, brokers, and others intimately connected with the big deal.

J. Bryan, of Netraska. and Richard H. Clark, of Alabama, the silver question being the subject. Cleveland, Ohio, June -The following is a draft of a declaration which has been considered by leading delegates to the national convention of the League of Republican.

Clubs, and which will te submitted tomorrow to the committee on resolutions, consisting of an important statement of Republican doctrine, reciting the Democratic record, reaffirming the principles of the Republican party, and pledging the convention to aid in their adoption by the people of the United States in 1896: Address to the People of the United StatesFellow Citizens: While this convention of Republican League clubs is not assembled to formulate new doctrines for the Republican party, but to maintain and perfect the organization of its working forces and to help prepare the way for its certain return to power in 1896, It seems to be proper to congratulate the country on the magnificent achievements of the last campaign, and to note some of the causes which led to the political earthquake of 1894. Worst Predictions Verifed. Two years more of Grover Cleveland, with Democratic Congress to help him, have been sufficient to verify the very worst predictions of Democratic incompetency, and to give the people an object lesson in national disaster which cught to suffice, at least, for the present generation. This Democratic party, while impudently declaring that it is the only one that has ever given to the country a foreign policy consistent and vigorous, compelling respect abroad and confidence at home, has, in fact, achieved a policy which, beginning in secret attempts to restore dethroned queen and re-establish an overturned monarchy, so continued as to make our traditional Monroe doctrine laughing stock for the world; a policy which ordered the Amerlcan flag to be hauled down at Honolulu, and consented to have the English flag hoisted over Nicaraguan soil at Corinto; a policy which repealed reciprocity treaties without the courtesy of notice to friendly powers, giving just cause of offense to our fastest friends; a policy commanding contempt abroad, and execration at home. This Democratic party has adopted a financial policy the bare announcement of which, with success at the polls, was sufficient to shut the doors of our factories and workshops, and to stop the wheels of our commerce on land and sea, producing the most widespread and protracted disaster and ruin the country has ever experienced, and before which it stood in helpless imbecility, a disaster before which the Democratic panics of 1857 and 1837 were but child's play.

And yet with a blind obstinacy it persisted in its declared purpose, repealing a tariff which has afforded sufficient revenue and protected American capital and labor, substituting law avowedly drawn upon free-trade lines and creating a deficiency of $70,000,000 a year. Bonded Debt Vastly Increased. In so doing it has already accomplished an increase of the bonded debt of $165,000,000, entailing a burden of interest for thirty years which will amount to over $200.000.000, in addition to the principal, and this with the certainty of a further issue of bonds before relief can be obtained. This has been accompanied with such management of the treasury as openly confesses inability to protect the gold reserves, and pays tribute to a foreign syndicate to secure exemption from further raids. This Democratic party, after having for years denounced the continuance of "war taxes in time of peace," notwithstanding the war debt and war pensions required their continuance to supply the needs of the teasury, no sooner comes into complete legislative power than it changes front, announces its purpose to reverse the policy which the country has pursued for a hundred years, to abandon dependence on the tariff AS the permanent source of revenue for current expenses, and to adopt the internal system of war taxes instead; and it gives earnest of its purpose by adopting a purely sectional, odious, and unconstitutional income tax, as declared by our highest judicial tribunal.

Publie Office a Private Snap. This Democratic party, with a national platform declaring that "public office is a public trust," supports an administration which distributes public offices as a bribe to induce members of Congress to vote against their own personal convictions, and in defiance of the wishes of their constituents, thus demonstrating that its real stand is that "public office is a private snap," and justifying the descriptive phrase of George. William Curtis that It is simply an organized appetite." This Democratic party, with a national platform declaring in favor of Just and liberal system of pensions," inducts an administration of the pension bureau which treats every soldier who applies for pension as a dead-beat, only intent on plundering the treasury, exacting from him, in support of his claim, evidence more rigid than in a court of law is required to convict a murderer; which treats every widow as a mistress, requiring her to prove otherwise by evidence such as was never demanded in a civilized court, and which shows love for and liberality toward Union soldiers by in one year striking off the pension roll 30,000 names, on the ground that they were placed there by a Republican administration under a too liberal interpretation of the law. Debauching of the Ballot. This Democratic party, denouncing national election laws as outrages on local rights of suttrage, manifests its own disregard for fair elections and honest returns by keeping up a solid South through infamous State laws, and more infamous election methods, as exemplified in the returns of the last Presidential election, at which returns were made of only 60 per cent of the legal vote of Georgia, 43 per cent of that of Mississippi, and 30 per tent of that of South Carolina, at which seven States elected sixtynine Presidential electors with 29 per cent of its legal vote.

No wonder it deprecates national laws for the prutection of freedom and honesty of the ballot box, especially when the penitentiarles of nearly every free State has furnished cella for more or less of its election officers. This Democratic -party pursties a monetary policy which, promising in its national plat-.
