The populist Btate convention will meet hero tomorrow for the purpose of nominating a state ticket and selecting delegates to the national con- vontlon at St. Louis. The delegates-at-large will probably bo : Thomas Fletcher , W. S. Morgan , J.V. . Uolllson , 14. H. Arnold , Charles T. Foster and J. H. Sovereign , mas ter workman of the Knights of Labor. There- Is a strong sentiment In favor of endorsing Bryan and the Chicago platform , but on the other hand there are those who say that such an endorsement .would tend to disrupt the populist party. Mr. W. S. Morgan , one of the leaders. Is In favor of making no nomination at all , leaving populists free to vote for their choice and In order to pro- Borve the organization , formulate and adopt a strong platform along the lines of the Omaha platform. This plan Is meeting with n great deal of favor. Many of the popu lists assert that Mr. Ilryan Is a populist In everything but name , and declare their In * tcntlon 16 support him. There Is a strong sentiment in favor of endorsing Hon. Dan VV.

( Special Tele gram. ) Webster county democrats are much cast down over the political situation. The leaders of the party have been for sound money all the time , although there has been some disaffection on account of the alleged "bosslsm" of the adinlnlstiutlon fuvorltes nnd the sliver fad was used to down them In the state convention. But now that the party has declared for silver and been cup- turcd by Ilryan and the populists serious threats of n bolt are openly made by nearly nil 'the influential leaders. It Is a fact that scarcely n single merchant can bo found on Fort Dodge's main thoroughfare who ad- Yocntes free silver. In the county the sit uation Is still mystifying. There Is much silver talk. The low price of oats C cents greatly aggravates It. It Is believed that a campaign of education will hold the repub licans In line here , although there will not bo the gains from the democratic ranks that the towns will give.

Turner , for the last four years secretary of tbo national people's party , In < signed statement urges populists to support Ilryan for president. Ho writes' "Tho result of the late national lemoeratlc convention Is undoubtedly the triumph of populism. A largo portion of the voter * In the populist party In the south and west were originally democrats and left the old party because It was dominated In every national convention by the eastern democrats , who represented Wall street and the monopolists of New York nnd New England. It lecame gulte evident to every thinking man that as lone as Now York was allowed to make tin platform and name the candidate of the democratic party HIP ; reat plain people would have no show and their rights and wishes would always be Ig nored. Ih-Hevlng thli. the thinking men among the rank and flip determined to quit : he old party and organize a new party , [ lento the existence of the populist party. * * The democratic party at Chicago simply purged Itself , reorganized Itself , and came out for true democracy and to all In- ents and purposes substituted the populist ilotform for the old platform that the party las been using for jears and which was llctated and folitcd upon the people by he goldbugs of the east. "Mr. Ilryan , the nominee of that conven- lon , Is n man who fits the platform. I lave personally watched his course for a lumber of yeais nnd know that his every mpulKe ban been against the oppiesnors of he'people and In behalf of the great masses , [ "or more than two years ho has acted with tin' populists of his own state. "It cannot be successfully denied that the irlnclplcs advocated hy the populist party mve captured the democratic party and iave driven out of Its ranks the element which has nhvujs been opposed to true democracy ami which from the beginning has been amitatcd with the republican party at Its natural home. All populists In the United States should rejoice that their prin ciples have tnken xucli a hold upon the American people that one of the great po litical parties of the nation has been corn- palled to adopt those principles and nonil- nato a ticket pledged to carry them Into execution. "If the populists think more of their principle ! ) than they do of mere party or ganization they will be compelled to unite with the forces going in the same direction and thereby rescue our country from all the dire calamities which wo have predicted woulci befall It should the gold standard bo permanently fastened upon UK , "An Hecretary of the national committee of the people's party for the last four years , I have labored In season and out of season for the upbuilding of our party. I love the associations which I have formed In Its ranks ; but while these are dear to me the principles of the populist party are much dearer. 1 feel that I would bo one of the worst enemies of the people's party and of Its principles should I not take the step at this time that I believe will culminate In the complete triumph of every demand of the party. We have advocated a iintou of the south and west In order that wo might bring about the necessary financial reforms. Now we have a chance of bringing all our hopes and desires to a grand consummation. * * The truth of It Is that the only point the popullbts now have to decide Is whether or not they will take Mr. Ilryan , whom every goldbug In the country has de nounced as a populist , for our next presi dent of the United States , or whether they will take Mr. McKlnley , who represents everything that the populists have de nounced and Juat the opposite of everything that they have advocated since they hav.e been a party. "Looking at It from this standpoint and feeling that In the election of Mr. Hryau populism has triumphed , and when I say populism , I menu the gieat common people of the United States , the masses , have tri umphed against the clabses ; and should Mr. McKlnloy be elected the classes have tri umphed , the English gold standard has been permanently fastened upon the lines of In dustry In this country , there will be noth ing left for us but serfdom and that will undoubtedly bring on a bloody revolution in the near future.

A few weeks since the board addressed a personal letter to the governor complaining In a general way that It had been Ignored by the Board of Public Lands and Buildings. It now presents some rather startling allegations , facts and figures. Accompanying the letter of the Visiting and Examining board Is a statement from Dan Althen , adjutant of the Grand Island Soldiers' and Sailors' Home , In which he shows that one H. H. Wood , for the year ending June 30 , 1838 , drew the sum of $ .1,093.23 without the approval of the Vis iting nnd Examining Board.

As an ex ample , It Is noted that on January 25 , l$3u , a voucher for $50.00 was paid. The voucher ian to the Western Electric Supply com pany nnd was originally drawn on the elec tric light connections and maintaining fund. This was changed to the fuel and light fund. A number of similar Instances nro noted. Land Commissioner Russell was seen by a representative of The Bee. and said : " 1 can assure you that every dollar appropriated for the Graiid Island Soldiers' Homo has been honestly expended , correctly accounted for and for the best Interests of the state. On several occasions the Board of Public Lands and Buildings has invited the Visiting and Examining board to meet with It and go over these accounts , but It has always failed to respond. On one occasion ono of the membsrs of the board was present , ami every Item expended was checked over In her presence , and she expressed herself as sat isfied. This member was Mrs. Abbott.

The graduates were eight In number , six women and two men. At 2 o'clock a long proces sion was formed and headed by children carrying flowers. Arches representing lit erature and science had been erected and of course typified their entrance Into those departments of learning The last bar to the procession was a little yellow gate. Here the children throw their flowers down and the graduates passed through over the flowers. The procession , the arches , gate , flowers and children arc an allegory which each ono can Interpret to suit himself. The procession filed Into the auditorium and Prof. Grlggs addressed the graduates and alumnae. The subject of his address was "The Use of Literature and Its Effect on the Individual. " Dr. Scott's lecture on "Tho Inspiration of Llfo and of the Scrip tures" showed the agreement among all scholars worth speaking of on the subject of Inspiration. Ho said theologians used to begin the study of the bible by asserting Its Inspiration. Its value to the Individual nowadays depends on the truth which he finds In It for himself. Christ Himself never wrote Mid never directed others to write. Neither did the early church. The necessity of having something beside oral tradition Induced the disciples to write a biography of Christ. That God dictated the words Is no longer believed by any one. Dr. Scott's faith In the divinity of Christ Is as firm as that of any of the older the ologians and his belief In His power to re generate greater. Deendir People KiltliumlaNllc. DECATUR.

( Special Telegram. ) County Coroner MacFarland nirhcd from Mondamln on the 9 o'clock train , which was about two hours.late , and Immediately set to work making arrangements for the Inquest on the bodies of the dead caused by the wrecked train. County Attorney Ktllo g of Missouri Valley was nlso sent for , and upon arrhnl was consulted by the coroner and Mayor Berry. After the consultation It was concluded best to hold an Inquest , notwithstanding the fact that the code of Iowa expressly states that Inquests arc essential only when the cause of death Is a mysterious one. There seems no doubt but all know well enough the cause that led up to the sad disaster. William Kddle , sheriff of Harrison county , has1 papers In bis hands and has subpoenaed Station Agent Shaffer of this place , as well as all papers or oiderx that may be In any way connected with the affair , and also wired the sheriff of Iloone county to hold Montgomery and Reid , the engineer and conductor of the excursion train until they can bo reached by Harrison county officials. The coroner's Jury Is composed of Albert Loss , ona of the city council , Mayor Berry and Dr. J. Knowlcs , It has been reported that both Montgomery and Held arc at Iloone In a demented condi tion , hut , however that may be , It Is the intention of the coroner to have them hero If possible. At 2 o'clock the work of holding the In quest has begun and will beyond doubt last several days. Many dispatches are being sent from tbo Logan station and newspaper men as well as the people are highly pleased with the excellent service the agent here Is rendering. AGENT SHAFFER'S STORY. Station Agent Shaffer testified as follows : "I am agent and operator of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway company at Logan. The excursion train left Logan about 0:12 : p. m. , July 11. The conductor of tbo train was A. L. Reid and the engineer J. D. Mont gomery. These officials received orders as follows : 'Reid run special Logan to Coun cil Bluffs and can have until 7-10 p. in. to go to Lovelnml against No. 11. ' Train No. 38 , which was the regular train , was the one which collided with the excursion train. The conductor nud engineer of the excursion train were , according to general rules , not to leave Logan until No. 3S had reached Logan. The excursion train pulled out some minutes before No. 3S arrived. On July 11 the conductor and engineer were in Logan. I talked with Reid after the ac cident and he said he had forgotten about No , 38. I handed two copies of the order to Conductor Reid. If these olllcers had fol lowed the rules of the company the accident would not have occurred. " Dr. Knowlcs testified that he did not go to the wreck , as he was sick. Some wounded persons were brought to his office and as soon as he supplied their wants ho went directly to the opera house. In which the ailllctcd and dead were taken , and helped In caring for them. He did not know any of the dead or Injured. He had a conversation with the "iiglneer of the special. J. D. Mont gomery , while attending his wants. The engineer seemed restless. The doctor said he should not worry about himself , but ho should look to the Interests of the others ; that he was not to blame. At that the en gineer said : "My God , man , that is what is the matter with me , " The engineer said It was his fault and seemed to realize the enormity of the responsibility. This state ment was made In the presence of Al Gros- venor and William Ehrburdt. It was not later than 7 o'clock when these statements were made. ENGINEER WAS NOT DRUNK. Dr. Knowles wns of the Impression that the englne-r hud not been Indulging In the USB of Intoxicating liquors that day. The engineer did not cay whether the conduc tor had been drinking or not. At the conclusion of Dr. Knowles' testi mony the coroner adjourned Investigation until ! ) a. m tomoirow , nt which time Wil liam Ehrhardt and Al Grosvcnor , the two who heard the engineer moke the remark concerning the accident , will be celled to substantiate the statement The report has boon pretty extensively circulated here that two bodies were stolen , but Inquiry falls to substantial ! ? the rn- port , yet it la plain to bo Keen that the au thorities are not yet fully satisfied that the bodies now accounted for cover the full list of thn missing. As Dr. Knowles waste to art as a witness T. F. Vanderhoof was substituted as juror In his stond. It Is probable that th conductor and engineer of the eNcurslun train will ultimately be arrested and brought to Logan for trial on the charge of criminal uegllgenco. Logan people are much dissatisfied with the report of some of the eastern papers , which stated that the dead bodies at the wreck wore piled up like cord wood , * lien In reality they were carefully cared for until sent away on the train bearing the dead to Omaha. A C'nril from Mr. t'ltiMli-d. WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH COM PANY , OMAHA , Neb. , July 14. 1S9G. To the Editor of The Hoe , Omaha : Relative to the local and odltorlal articles In last even- Ing's Bee , charging the Chicago & North western Railway company with refusing to allow our operators to ride on their relief trains Saturday night , I beg to suy In Justice to the railroad company that transportation was cheerfully given our operators togethur with a permit good nn all trains going to Logan , and that but for the fact that our operators did not have time to catch tli > 10- llef train they would have gone to Logan on that. As It wax , the men went on a spe clal freight a couple of houra later , The special freight referred to was sent east from Missouri Valley on another route. Theio being no other train going to Logan , our operators drove from Missouri Valley to Logan , bume twelve miles distant I make the above statement In Justice to the Chicago & Northwestern Railway com pany and entirely without solicitation from them.
