ELKHORN , Neb. , Aug. 1. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Had blood engendered nt the recent
school election , between William Clark and
George Frost , two Douglas county plonecis
and highly respected farmers , culminated
this evening by Frost assaulting Clark with
an ax. According to Clark's story , ho was
en route from Elkhorn this evening , and as
ho was passing Fiopt's place , he was balled
by Frost , who was trimming trees by the
roadside and commanded to retract a state
ment he made at the school meeting or
abide the consequences. Clark refused and
was struck on the right side ot the head
with the ax by Frost. The blow knocked
Clark out of the buggy and one wheel of
the vehicle ran over his chest. While he
was lying on the ground he says Frost
grabbed him by the shirt collar and smote
him hip and thigh , but finally desisted , upon
the tearful solicitation of one of his sons.
Besides a bad wound near his right eye ,
Clark Is Injured Internally. However , no
serious results are apprehended.
Frost Is n school director In district No.
27 , and at the last annual school meet
ing , Clark , as a patron of the school , ac
cused Frost of falsifying the school records.
This evening was the first time they have
met since 'the school meeting. Clark went
before Justice of the Peace Hlckcy , and
swore to an information charging Frost with
assaultf with intent to kill. A warrant
was placed in an ofllcer's hands , but Fiost
eluded him. Frost's wife Informed the

SOUTH IS XOT SOLID FOR ' IIKVA.V.
Moxt of the Intelligent Voters Are
for Mclviiiley.
Henry M. Morrow , chief clerk In the
office of the county judge , returned yesterday
morning from an extended visit with
relatives in the south. Mr. Morrow has
always been an old line democrat and was
the only democrat In the court house out
side of the ofllco of the register of deeds ,
and It has been the custom ot the attaches
of the latter olllco to fly to Mr. Morrow for
consolation when they were worsted In a
political argument. But all is changed now ,
Mr. Morrow has left the democratic party
as was Indicated In his letter which was
published In The Bee about two
weeks ago. Ho stated yesterday morn
ing that the mail which carried
the aforesaid letter to the recipient
also bore his resignation as a member ot the
Jacksonlan club , one of the principal demo
cratic organizations. To still further
emphasize his determination to leave the
old party forever today Mr. Morrow filled
out an application for membership In the
Young Men's Republican club and handed
It to President Winter for presentation to
the club.
In speaking of the sentiment through the
south , as he had observed It , Mr , Morrow
said that ho had not been able to discover
any indication that the people of the south
were falling over one another In their efforts
to elect Bryan. The greater part of Mr.
Morrow's time was spent in Georgia , near
Atlanta , and ho had taken a number of trips
to neighboring cities. Ho said he had
talked with a large number of intelligent
democrats and had found that they were
not favorable to tha Chicago platform or the
Bryan ticket , and many of them expressed
their Intention of voting for McKlnley.
Mr. Morrow also said that ho was aware
that the Intelligent democrats wcro In the
minority In Georgia and that Bryan would
probably carry the state , but In his opinion
such straws showed that the sentiment was
not entirely one-sided.

Although the republican headquarters arc
constantly frequented by local republicans
and some democrats , nothing new has de
veloped In the political situation. The
leaders are occupying themselves In per
fecting the organization of the local clubs
In order that they may bo In a position
to do efficient work when the campaign
Is actively begun. Local sign painters have
contributed a couple of handsome portraits of
McKinley and Ilobart , which adorn the walls
of the headquarters and attract considerable
attention , They are not without genuine ar
tistic merit. An effort is being made to take
a strong delegation to Lincoln to tha state
league convention. It Is expected that from
500 to 1,000 OuiahH republicans will attend if
a special train can bo secured.
A movement Is also on foot to organize a
McKlnloy club without reference to poli
tics. A number of the democratic leaders
have visited the republican headquaiters and
they Infvo urged the county central commit
tee to form such an organization. They say
that while they do not want to join a re
publican club , that If the orgunlzatlpn may
simply ho known as a McKlnloy club , they
will join It. So many democrats have signi
fied their wish to affiliate with such an or
ganization that ono will probably bo formed
within a few days , It will bo u continuation
of the McKlnley club that was formed be
fore tlio St. Louis convention , of which Major
D. H. Wheeler Is chairman.

Sc-iitlineiit of tin' Sixth
AVnrilei'M Knvoi'nlile ( o It.
There was a roiibinc meeting of repub
licans la the Sixth waul last evening. Ihc
liall at Twenty-fourth and Franklin streets
proved all too small to contain tlioso who
wcro anxious to enroll themselves as sup
porters of McKlnley nnd Ilobart. The re
cruits from other pai tics wcro received with
open arms , and wcro allowed to vote In the
election ot ofllccrs.
After a brief contest the following ofllcors
were elected for the cn&ulng year : Miles D.
Hauck. president ; F. W. Fitch , vice picU-
ilent ; Duncan S. Lowile , secretary ; Thomas
Davis , assistant secretary , and Carr Axford
treasurer. The following committee was
appointed on the revision of the constitu
tion , with Instruction to report to the club
next Saturday night : F. W. Fitch , 11. C.
Smith and George E. Collln. The following
commlttco was nppoluted to secure perma
nent quarters for the club : Edward Taylor ,
D. R. Uall and Albert Bugh.
The meeting then took up for consideration
the Crawford system of conducting primary
election , and much Interest was manifested
In the explanation ot the system and the
discussion that followed. John Wcstberg
explained the practical workings of the
system and pointed out Its many advantages.
Ho said the republican party had always
been a party of reform and that It now had
an excellent opportunity to make on Im
portant addition to Its record. He urged
the adoption of the system , because ho be
lieved that the chances for the use of cor
rupt methods would be lessened , the mem
bers of the party would feel better satisfied
with the results , while the public at large
would feel n great deal more satisfied. There
were many Inquiries as to the operation of
the systin. and , In the main , the sentiment
of the club appeared to be friendly to the
adoption of the system.
The club unanimously endorsed Charles E.
Winter for president of the State League of
Republican clubs.
The following delegates to the Lincoln
meeting of the republicans clubs of Nebraska
were then elected : Dclcgates-at-large : H.
T. Leavltt. John T. Yatcs and John M. Mc

WYOMING IIUPUIIMCANS FIRM.
Furor Free Coinage liut Will Stand
liy the Party.
Senator F. E. Warren of Wyoming
stopped off in this city last evening on his
way through. Concerning the political situ
ation In his state , the senator said : "A
majority of the people ot Wyoming are
sliver men regardless of what party they
belong to , but the republicans of Wyoming
are republicans fiist. Senator Wolcott ex
pressed the position of the republicans of my
state In his address of yesterday as well
as It could bo said. While they are for free
coinage , the republicans of Wyoming realize
there arc other Issues at stake In this
campaign which arc vital to the prosperity
of the country. For Instance AVyomlng Is
a great sheep raising state and the policy
of frco wool has been ruinous to that In
dustry.
"Above all the general sentiment of the
republicans of my state IH that In splto of
the democratic platform and the protesta
tions of Its candidate , the republican 'party '
Is after all the best friend of silver and
It it is ever recognized at the mints of
the country again it will be through the
medium of the republican party.
"Thero have been no defections from the
party of prominent workers at least. There
are always some changes noted in presi
dential years , hut the working force of the
party bus remained Intact for the reasons
stated. What isolated defections there have
been have been made up by accessions
from tlio other parties and wo anticipate
that McKlnley will carry Wyoming by fully
the usual party majority If not a little more.
We are surrounded on every side but one
by states whoso delegations bolted the St.
Louis convention and on that ono side we
are up against the populist end of Nebraska ,
but In spite of this Wyoming will remain
steadfast to the republican party. "

ATLANTIC CITY , N. J. , AUG. 1. Contu
sion exists hero regarding the oxnct num -A
ber of persons killed In the accident of * \
Thursday night. Forty bodies have been n
Identified and four unidentified , .but relatives
nnd frlvnils of about four others who wcro
known to have been on the excursion have
not been able to find these persons or to
recognize them among the still unidentified.
As the wieck has been cleared nway and
no additional bodies found the probability
Is that they are among these unidentified
and that the relatives and fi lends have been
unable to recognize them because of their
mutilated condition. This would place the
total killed at forty-four.
The body of Thomas Kelly of Elmer , N. J. ,
was Identified today. Several of the In-
lured are still lying In a critical condition at
[ ho sanitarium. Mrs , Fauncc Frallnger ot
Philadelphia , whose right leg was amputated
yesterday afternoon , Is still very low and
Ihcrc Is no hope of her recovery. A young ;
woman about ID years old who has been
lying senseless at the hospital slnco the acci
dent recovered consciousness for a few mo
ments this morning , but Is too 111 to admit
of questioning as to Her Identity. There la
a strong probability that shu Is Miss Lizzies
Branln of Mlllvlllo , N. J. , who was knowu
to have been on the excursion train , but
has not since been heard from.
There is much perplexity hero over the dls- _
patch from Mlllvllle to the effect that S. P. .
Murphy.yho has been numbered among the
dead from the tlmo of the accident , is alive
and well at his homo. The body supposed to
lie his was identified as such by fully fifteen
people.
The unidentified arm has been found , to
bo a part of the remains of Mrs. Trenchard
of Drldgcton. The corpse supposed to bo
that of Samuel P. Murphy ot Mlllvllle was
today shown to bo the remains of Patrick
Welgau , a retired liquor dealer of this city.
Frederick Cheyne , one of the Injured , died
last evening , and the body was sent homo 4.
without proper notification to the coroner.
An Impression prevails that the responsi
bility for the accident rests upon the dead
engineer , Cdwln Farr. There Is no dispute
that the signal to come ahead was given to
the West Jersey excursion train , and If so\
the danpcr signal must necessarily bo given
to the Heading track by an automatic ar
rangement. The signals then became locked
nnd cannot he released until both trains
have cleared the point. Ileforo the signals
are manipulated the red signal is constantly
displayed on both tracks , indicating to all
engineers that they must slow up on approaching
preaching the crossing. The theory Is that
Farr did not slow up and could not do so la
time when ho saw the West Jeisoy train ap
proaching.
It Is said that Farr had been laid off for
two weeks not long ago for not making good
tlmo and It Is supposed that ho was trying
to male up for his lost tlmo by running at a
high rate of speed.
The coroner's Inquest will begin at 10:30 :
Monday morning and Fireman O'lloulllian ot
the Reading train who saved his llfo by
Jumping will probably bo the principal wit
ness.

When a man has suffered for many yearn
with a weakness that blights his llfo and
robs him of all that really makes llfo worth
living ; when after years of doctoring with
all horts of ( latent medicines and alleged
specialists , ho discovers a remedy that brtngu
back to him the power and physical encigy
that seemed to him lost forn\er , ho naturally
feels generous. Ho wants his fellow men to
know about It , He feels that his mission on
earth Is to lift out ot bondage the thousands
of young and middle-aged men who are to
day battling with a shattered nervous BVH-
turn , just us ho did ; men who , by their owl >
secret follies , arc suffering a mental torture
that words cannot adequately describe ,
The world has come to look at such suf
ferers In a different light from former days.
It now regards them ua unfortunate , not
criminal , They have lacked moral courage.
They may bo victims of Inherited passion ,
or they may have acquired secret habits
from evil aKsoclates. ilut whatever may
have been the liuentivo that causes a man

It Is wrong to denounce ) him for his folly ,

sands of men have written 1110 to cay how
glad they wcro to get the prescription , and
every mall brings encouraging report of
severe cases ot physical debility cured and
