Polk county are to the effect that the
oat crop this year will in all prob
ability not average more than half a
crop on account of the rust. Seme
fields are utterly worthless and will be
plowed under. The corn crop , how
ever , never looked better and gives
promise of a bountiful yield. The
other grains are looking well and will
undoubtedly turn out all right

Hryan's Friends Very Con
fident of Winning Gov.
Stone on the Scene.
St. Louis , Mo. , July 20. Chairman
Taubeneck of the Populist national
committee returned from Chicago this
morning and his coming was the sig
nal for renewed activity on the part
of the middle-of-the-road Populists ,
who hope to prevent an indorsement
of Bryan and the Chicago platform.
His visit to Chicago , which was partly
due to his fear that the Illinois dele
gation would leave him in the lurch' ,
and not to make terms with the Dem
ocrats as was reported yesterday , was
apparently not productive of results.
This morning he was in secret confer
ence with the anti-Bryan leaders and
the national headquarters were prac
tically deserted.
Mr. Taubeneck , it is said , found
several stumbling blocks in his path
to Chicago. For one tiling , Dr. Tay
lor , one of the most noted members of
the People's party in Illinoisis openly

for Bryan and there are many other
Populists in Illinois who are believed
to hold the same opinion. To have
his own delegation go against him
would be very distasteful.
In their conference the anti-Bryan
men agreed on no definite plan of
action , but they seemed determined
to make a straight-out fight for a sep
arate ticket and platform. The Mis
sissippi , Rhode Inland , Conneticut ,
Michigan and Texas delegations will
help them.
At the Omaha-Bryan headquarters
there was much jubilation over indi
cations of the growing strength of
the movement to indorse Bryan and
Sewall.
GOVERNOR STONH OX THE SCENE.
Among the arrivals this morning
was Governor Stone of Missouri He
came , it is said , in response to a tele
gram from some of the Populists , who
are in favor of the nomination or in
dorsement of Bryan , and is to do mis
sionary work among the "middle of
the road" contingent. The latter are
to hold a mass meeting at the Lindell
hotel to-morrow afternoon to start the
movement against Bryan , and Gov
ernor Stone and other friends of the
Democratic candidate , will try to neu
tralize the efforts of the opposition.
NO GOI/D CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEES.
The silver people are .very quiet.
Few of them are here , and none of
the delegates are expected before
Monday. The leaders this morning
formulated a new demand , which
meets the approval of the Populists
who have been consulted. It is that
they shall insist upon the withdrawal
of all Democratic congressional nom
inees who are "sound money' * or gold
standard men. or , if they will not
withdraw , that the silver men and
Populists unite in putting up in every
congressional district a free silver
candidate. This , it is urged , should
be presented to the national Demo
cratic committee as an ultimatum.
The Populists , it is understood , are to
concentrate their work and attempt
to elect a congress which will favor
free silver and to accomplish this it
is necessary to have the co-operation
of the Democratic party.
The Populists who are opposed to
Mr. Bryan say that if he is nominated
the delegates of Massachusetts , Rhode
Island and Connpcticut , and possibly
Tenncee , will i t.
Secretary J. H. Turner of t"ie Popu
list national committee , who arrived
this morning , is outspoken in his de
sire that this convention shall indorse
Bryan and Sewali. "It is ti ; prac
tical and patriotic thing for. us to do , " '
said he. "If we fail to do it we will
jeopardize the vital issue of the cam
paign free silver an original tenet
of the Populist faith. I believe free
silver is going to win , anyhow , and if
we fail to indorse the only man who
stands any chance of winning for the
cause of silver , we will be shorn of
any of the glory except as individuals
and be classed as its enemy. The ma
jority of Populists are not going to
fritter iway a principle so dear to
them as has alwavs been the restora
tion of silver to its constitutional
function as a money medium. " '
Nebraska Populists Going In Force.
Omaita , Neb. , July 20. The official
train of Nebraska Populists , carrying
the fifty-seven delegates from Ne

Teller said yesterday : "My friends
and niy&elf will lend every energy to
bring about Mr. Bryan's indorsement
at St. Louis. Of course , there is go
ing to be some opposition. Senator
Marion Butler of North Carolina is
leading the opposition. I believe he
is making a mistake. I think he and
his friends will realize this before the
convention , and I am willing to make
this prophecy : 'Either the Popuiists
will indorse Bryan or they will fail to
make a nomination. ' There is no rea
son why they should not indorse him.
for the financial plank adopted by
the Chicago convention is all the Pop
ulists can ask for , and the other
planks of the platform are c rtainly
more than they had any reason to ex
pect from a Democratic convention. "
A New I'opullst Plan.
Terre Haute , Ind. , July 20 Mor
ton C. Rankin , treasurer of the nation
al committee , and a member of the
executive committee , says that in his
opinion , under the existing circum
stances , the practical thing for the
Populists and silverites to do at St.
Louis next week would be to nomi
nate Bryan , change the Democratic
platform in a few details , add the
referendum plank , then nominate
their own candidate for vice presi
dent. He thinks the second place
should go South , and suggests the
names of Judge Nimis of Georgia ,
Senator Martin Butler of North Caro-
lina.and Colonel Minimis of Tennessee.

Names of Delegates to the St. Lonls
Convention.
The Nebraska 1'opulitts.
Grand Island , Neb. , July 10. The
populist state delegate convention con
vened here yesterday with a good at
tendance. The convention was called
to order at 2 o'clock.
Rev. Mr. Jordon invoked divine guid
ance. Mayor Thompson welcomed the
delegates to the city , where two years
ago the present governor was nomi
nated. W. L. Green responded in be
half of the convention. D. Clem
Deaver was unanimously chosen tem
porary chairman. George F. Corcoran ,
B. R. Carpenter , J. L. Clafin and B. S.
Allen of Cass were made secretaries.
The list of delegates , as prepared by
the state central committee , was
adopted , after which the list of coun
ties and representation was read , doing
away with the credentials committee.
A committee of five were appointed on
permanent organization. It recom
mended General P. 11. Barry for chair
man and the temporary secretaries as
permanent
A telegram was received from the
populist convention of South Dakota ,
sending greetings to the populists of
Nebraska. A motion was promptlj'
made and hurriedly carried that the
secretary reply , returning greetings.
Senator Allen moved that the reply
should present the compliments of the
Nebraska populists and say they are
Bryan for the next president. He then
made his position very plain and made
no effort to conceal the fact that he
was for the endorsement of the demo
cratic candidate , first , last and always.
William Dech insisted that the con
vention could not now say what dele
gates were to say when they came to
St. Louis , especially not before it had
permanently organized. He urged th&
convention to be careful to act in ac
cordance with the principles of the
party as founded , as early a s 1SG0 , with
such men as Peter Cooper. He de
manded a call of the roll.
Senator Allen urged that the action
proposed would tend to perpetuate the
party and not to disintegrate it.
The roll was called after considera
ble delay. The result was G99 for Mr.
Allen's motion to send the telegram
and 34 against.
A motion was then made that the
vote in favor of Bryan be made unani
mous. The motion was subsequently
withdrawn.
The committee on permanent organ
ization had reported that the order of
business be calling the roll of congres
sional districts , these replying by pre
senting the names of delegates to be
selected by them at their various cau
cuses held this morning. Senator
Sprecher protested against the carry
ing out of any action taken before 2
o'clock , as that was the hour the con
vention was called , and anything
agreed to before that hour was illegal.
His county was not represented at all
at any caucus. The selections made
were , after a few changes in the first
district , ratified by the convention.
Senator Sprecher is against the nom
ination of Bryan , holding that if the
populist party has no principles on
which to select its own candidates , it
virtually gives up its right to exist and
appeal for the suffrages of men.
The delegates chosen are as follows :
First district , Beardsley. Spamp , Mor
gan , Briggs. Swan , Cornell. Abbott ,
Lancaster , Plummer. Second district ,
Thomas , Nownes. McAardle , Cowles ,
Magney. Buck , Keeney.CurtisSpra rue.

Beall , Dameret Mundy , Wilson , Pow
ers , Walker , Schafer. Sixth district
Green , Deal , Adams , Barry , Eberson.
Elizker , Kautzman , Butler , Luther-
man.
Senator Allen and Governor Holcomb
were chosen deiesrates-at-larce by ac
clamation. For the third delegate-at-
lanre the fiarht was between J. A.
Edgerton of Lancaster and Joe Edger-
ton of Grand Island. The roll call re
sulted : Joe Edgerton , 412 : J. A. Edjrer-
ton , 300. J. A. Edgerton , John Quinn
and Father Snyder of Valley were
elected alternates-at-large.
Resolutions adopted declare free sil
ver to be the paramount issue in the
campaign , and that the time has come
when one of the cardiual principles oc
the party could be chrystalized into
legislation by a union of reform forces ,
and declare it the sense of this conven
tion that the delegates to St. Louis use
all honorable means to secure Bryan 's
endorsement.
Mr. Dech again deired to object , but
was drowned out by the convention
and not given a hearing. Governor
Holcomb , Senator Allen and W. L.
Green addressed the convention.
Harrity Declined Second PI ce.
Chicago , July 13. It is authorita
tively stated that free silver leaders
declared some of them to W. F. Har
rity himself that if he were willing
to stand upon the platform adop'ed
he would receive their support fo- the
Vice Presidency and be nominated.
Mr. Harrity promptly advised the n
that it would not be safe for them to
nominate hi in. He might als > have
been re-elected national chairman had
he desired.
"Will Not Permit His Name to Be Con-
Hidered at StLoul * .
Denvek. Colo. , July 16. Senator
Teller has returned to Denver from
Manitou , where he has been in con
ference with Senator Duboise of Idaho ,
and Congressman Hartraan of Mon
tana , as to the course the silver Re
publicans shall pursue in the approach

their conference until other silver'
Republicans can arrive. They will j

IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT. I
Des Moines , July 9. John Miller , I
assignor of one-fourth to E. E.
Gatchel , ( both of Stuart. Iowa , ) has
been allowed a patent for hardening r H
t
copper. The primary object of the J ' B
patent law is not for individual benefit , \ 9M
but for the public good and a monopoly
of any patentable discovery or inven- il
tion is granted in view of getting it on H
record so it cannot become a lost art. I
Mr. Miller's invention consists in a f
composition and a process for hardenJ , jfl
ing copper , ( covered by separate claims ) 3
and is an important improvement in
metallurgy. A razor and other edge " " '
tools exhibited show that ductile B
copper has been hardened to adapt it H
foi making edge tools that require
strength and durability. Mr. Miller 9
claims that his process also prevents H
oxidation and detonation , and B
consequently there will be no H
verdigris to poison persons who H
inaj' be wounded by tools made H
of copper. Valuable information about * H
obtaining , valuing and selling patents - " " H
ents sent free to anaddress. . Printed * > .M

tions of anj- United States patent sent

is not confined to Iowa. Inventors in fl
other states can have our services up- fl
on the same terms as the Hawkeyes. fl
