E. Mason, of Chicago, ami Hon. W. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, are in the city today prepared to meet in platform debate on the money quesiiou at the park auditorium this afteruoon.

They are both at The Logan. Mr. Bryan arrived last night and Mr. Mason arrived this morning Before going to the park they were seen at the hotel by several prominent local politicians. At the auditorium this afternoon Boies occupied a place on the platform and introduced Mr.

Bryan, who took the affirmative in the debate on the question-, "Resolved, that the United States should open its mints to the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1." Mr. Mason, on the negative, was introduced by Judge Tolerton, of Cedar Falls, whoso views on the question coincide with those of the ex-congressman from Chicago. In addition to the debate being one of great interest the occasion was the opening of the Chautauqua, and a great throng of people went to the park. The auditorium was filled with interested listeners anxious to learn of the merits of the silver question from both points of view. On account of the paper going to press at an early hour a report of the debate cannot bo given until tomorrow.

The Chautauqua opens auspiciously.

A buttermilk mine has been struck near Algona at a depth of 150 feet. The milk stands 120 feet deep in the, well and a steam pump working for tin entire day and night failed to lower it. Peoplo drink the lluid and hogs consume it as though it were a genuine article. The phenomena is a wonder and puzzling the scientists. Maybe a butter mine would be found near, by further prospecting, perhaps a herd of cows, also.

This is no joke. It is thought the fluid comes from shale a sort of rock formation, giving the water the color of milk and a milky taste. i AVake up your system by waking up your liver Simmons Liver Regulator will do it-and a twenty-five cent package at that.

A Blackhawk County Man Goes to Dubuque to Sell Horses and Kills Himself Dubuque- Telegraph: Men pulling lumber at the foot of Third street extension this morning about 8 o'clock found the body of an elderly man floating in the river. It proved to be that of Joseph Saco, who lived in Blackhawk county, three miles from Fairbank. He drove to Dubuque last Saturday with three horses, all which ho endeavored to sell. He had high hopes of selling one of them to Marshal Morgan but the latter would not buy and the old man seemed much discouragod. Ho drove to Galena biter, tried to sell the horses there, failed and returned to Dubuque.

He drank freely Sunday and Monday but was sober last evening when at o'clock, remarking that he felt very tired, ho went to his room at the Jell'erson house. Mr. Gehrig saw him iu his room at midnight but at o'clock found the door of the room open and the lodger missing. It is presumed that he committed suicide. He had visited Third street extension the previous day.

He was about 55 years old and told the marshal that he had a wife and several step-children at homo but no children of his own. He said he was the owner of a farm of 80 acres. The body was turned over to Coroner McDonald who held an inquest this afternoon. Joseph Saco was known in Waterloo. He was of a pleasant and jovial disposition and those who knew him think it rather doubtful that he committed suicide.

It also seems strange that he should have been intoxicated as ho was not a hard drinkor. He was a German Republican and nearly always figured in the county convention as a delegate from his township. Mr. Saco was originally a peddler and married the widow of Wm. Finch, of Lester township, about fourteen years ago.

He was well-to-do, owning an 80- acre farm, and no reason can be assign ed for his self-destruction, if such it was--, lie was not addicted to drink and his friends are inclined to think that foul play may have had something to do with his taking off.
