O Toed y eveolsg Henry Cleveland , a
man who lives In one of the bmtee beats
oo tb liver benk rmr Brwdway , saw a
man ttotuxderlag arotiud In the m d In the
jxrod Jast north of tbe motor bridge. The
water Is only a few Inches deep , but the
mad ie almo-t fathom ! es. and Clevelind
rcallced that the mm was In great danger.
He went to tbc rescue , and. after a great
deal et bard work , succeeded In dragging
tbe aid man from the mud. He appeared
to be In a dazed condition , and although
Cleveland tndratoied to induce the eld
men to give aa account of himself and
explain his presence la the dangerous
qultksends , tbe Interview was Tery unsat
isfactory. The stranger could speak but
little English , and refused to give his name
or tell where his home irss : , and made t ev-
eral apparent efforts to wander off Into the
mud again. Thli gave Cleveland and others
j > rttat an Impression that the man wanted
to commit suklde. He was watched closely
for a time , and every cSort made to In
duce hiia so tell the names of some of his
friends , but ho steadfastly refused. Cleve
land finally offered to share his home with
him. and the man accepted the offer for
the night- The old man passed a restless
nlslit , and made srveral attempts to get
up and go away , but was prevented.
Yesterday morning after breakfast the old
man said he wanted to go to Omaha , and
Cleveland spent some time In brushing the
dried mud from his clothes. In doing so
he discovered the fact that the old man
had a lasgc roll of money In his pocket-
When he was ready to go Cleveland started
to assist him on to the bridge , but the
stranger posithely refused to walk over the
bridge or take a motor car. He said the
only ay he would cross the river wts In
a boat. Cleveland finally consented to row
him across. The old man took a teat In
the stem of the beat and sal quietly until
j the boat bad teachcd the middle of the
stream. Then he suddenly arose and sprang
overboard. lie disappeared beneath the
water , and when tc came to the surface
again bewas being svept swiftly donn
.he stream. Before Cleveland could reach
ilm he disappeared the second time. When
head appeared the surface the thiid
time Cleveland caught him. The old Ger
man weighed over 200 pounds and Cleve-
and was not strong enough to pull him
nto the bost. He knelt in the stern of the
wat and held the man's head above water
nd called for help. Cleveland's brother
eoree , and another fisherman named Rob
ert Jones , happened to be on the shore
end they put In another boat to the rescue-
Cleveland held to the old man's shoulders
the others took the boat In tow and
irought It ashore. The man regained con
sciousness shortly after being taken from
the water. Whe-n asked why he wanted to
commit suicide , be answered nonchalantly :
"MeJn het vas dlzry. "
He was talen back to tbe boathouse and
the police notified. Officer Peterson was
sent to look after the old man. All the
officer could get from him was the expres
sion of a desire to go to Omaha. Instead
of taking him to the station , where he
could be cared for , Pttcrson put him on a
car sending him to Omaha , and all trace
of him has been lest ,

held Wednesday at Cfaeyraae ao4 tbe < J n- <
ocratlc on Thursday at Reek Springs. The ' 1
ruminations to be raide by these cenvea- ' I
' '
tlons are candidates lor a representative
In congress , three presidential electors and
one justice of the state supreme court. Tb
retiring congressman Is F. W Mcmdell. the j
retiring Justice H. V. S. GroesbecV. both
republican * . It IE pretty -definitely settled
that the republican convention will rcaom-
inate both of these gentlemen without op
position. Among democrats .SaaueJ T. Corn
of Evaatton Is UU.cd of for the Domina
tion for the Justiceship and if he will ac
cept the nomination It will probably be
tendered him. Judge Corn wts for several
years on the Wyoming territorial bench
and In 15.S4 . served out tae uneipired terra
of Justice Clark on the state supreme
bench. He Is a Jurist of ability and if
elected will be an acceptable addition to
the supreme bench with all parties.
For the congressional nomination ex-Gov
ernor John E. Osborne of Rawllns and Tier.
A. A. Johnson of Laramle are considered
candidates. Governor Osborne is a young
man of considerable -wealth who enjojed
the distinction during 1SS3 and 1WM"of
being the youngest governor In the United
States. He declined a renomlnatlon for the
governorship in 1H. but Is now ready to
re-enter pollt'cs and is willing to try the
race for concrcss. He has always been a
consistent advocate of the free silver Ide-a
and Is a forceful debater on that and the
tariff question. The other candidate for the
nomination has for four years been presi
dent of the Wyoming SUte university , resigning -
signing the position on the first of the presI
eat month. Until the St. Louis convention
he had been one of the leading republican
workers of the state. He publicly withdrew
from the psrty when It refuted to endorse
the siher ideas of the western delecates
and has since been speaking and working
for Bryan and SewalL
AS TO THE PLATFORM.
The two conventions will also adopt plat
forms. The democratic convention will
adopt the Chicago platform without a dls-
scntlnc voice or vote and on state affairs
will condemn the republican administration
for reducing taxes of railway and other
corj-orations , while other taxes have been
Increased. The question of adopting a
financial plank is the only embarrassment
which tht , republican convection hts to
face. In 1E94 at Casper the state conven
tion adopted a radical silver "plank and
again at Sheridan In June of th'is year re
affirmed the Ctsper plank. " The question
now arises of standing by thli declaration
or facing directly about an4 adopting the
gold plank of the St. Louis convention. It
is probable that a middle course will be
pursued and a financial plank adopted not
quite so radical In Its desasirtijor silver as
tbe Casper-Sheridan declarations find not so
pronounced for gold as the St. I/rais finan
cial plank. The leaders of Uhe.-republican
party In the state recognite the embar
rassing position in which they .are placed
on the financial question and JsfJpit that if
the election were to be h ld Curing the
present month the state w ujd be against
them. They do not , however , concede that
tbe republican party will. be defeated In
November. The campaign on tie part of the
republicans Is belnc managed ( by United
States Senator F. Warren , . , o'ne of the
mpst adroit and skillful political workers
in the west , and it Is expectedDr the party
leaders that with bard work and ample
financial aid the stale will be saved to Mc-
Klnley and at the same time the congres
sional and legislative tickets carried. While
the legislature to be elected this year does
not elect a United States senator , ten cf
the state senators to be elected -will be hold
overs and will narticipate with the suc
ceeding legislature in a senatorial election.
On the other band , democratic leaders
and workers feeard tie success of the Bryan
and Sewall ticket in the state as absolutely
certain and expect to carry the congres
sional , judicial and legislative tickets by
fair ms'rrities.

WASHINGTON . Aug. 11. The police thus
fsr have failed to secure any clue as to the
mystery surrounding the death of A. H
Pyle. a son of ex-Representative Pyle of
California , who has been in temporary
charge of the silver national headquarters.
"When the body was found in the Potomac
tbe shoes snd hat were missing , and these
are being searched for. There Is a theory
that he w-as the victim of a knockout drop
at some of tbe up-river gambling resorts ,
but this is in rtrt overcome by the fact
that his silver watch wts found on him. It
is staled that Pyle bed been drinking when
last seen on Tuesday night a week ago. He
was fond of games of chance.
"While no evidence of foal play has been
foand , the. police have found nothing to
' indicate that the dead man committed sui
cide. They are generally inclined to the
belief that his death was accidental. H
may be that because of the excessive ieit
he went over to tbe river front and removed
his shoes aid hat in order lo gei cool , and
accidentally fell into the -water.

THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEL
A KEW AFRICAN STORY.
By RIPER HAGGARD.
It Began August 2d and Will Hun 12 Weeks ,
w w
IX this story .Mr. HagfjarJ relates the terrible eiperi-
* cnces of ihe Keverend Thomas Owen , who , persuaded
that Faith , if strong enough , could accomplish all things
even to the performance of miracles , gave up a comfort
able living in the Church of England to pracuce his
, preaching among the Children of Fire.
He went knowing that this savage African tribe ,
under the sp ll of the AVizard Hokosa , had put to death
the last " \Yhite \ Messenger" because he could not prove
his religion by raising from the dead his companion
whom they had slain before his very eyes. This he
learned through a third missionary whom they sent
b ack to hispeople with this message :
"Tell them that having prove ! you to be liars they
dealt with you as all honest men seek that all liars
should be dealt with- Tell them that they desire to
hear more of this matter , and if one can be sent to them
who has no false tongue , who in all things fulfills the
promises of his lips , that they will barken to him anl
treat him well ; but that for such as you they keep a
spear. "
It was this challenge that the Reverend Thomas
Owen accepte.1 ; and in this serial is told the wonlerful
story of his single-handed conflict with the Children ol
Fire and his almost miraculous success in baflling their
prophets and confounJing their Wizardry converting
first the king and then the sreat body of his people ;
among others his son and rightful heir to the throne.
