LINCOLN , Sept. 28. ( Special Telegram. )
ier C. M Clark ot Lincoln and Dr. Bryant of
Norfolk were at 1114 0 street at 2 p. m , to
day for the ostensible , purpose of holding1 a
middle-of-the-road populist state conven
tion , pursuant to call published last week.
The hall was immediately taken possession
of by about n hundred free silver democrats
and populists , and nil attempts to conduct
the business of the convention were futile.
Air. Clark Raid that so long aa the straight
Bryan nnd Watson elector * and candidates
r * . * - , for state officers would have to go on the
ticket by petition any nay it would bo as
well to draw up the petition nnd name the
candidates at a conference to be held later.
'William Dcch's manager , Mr. Bouldlng ,
cald that Dccli will not participate In the
jnovomcnt for a state convention. Among
the populists present today who are opposed
to a Bryan nnd Watson movement were : E.
O , Rowlck , steward at the Insane asylum ;
O. O. Co6dcll , J , C. McNernoy nnd Warwick
Saundcrs. There were many free silver
democrats also who seemed afraid of a
straight Bryan and Watson ticket In Ne
braska.
When Mr. Clark had declared his Intention
th
to move by petition , Mr. Ooodcll seized the
Kavel and assumed the chairmanship of the
a't convention. He called on Mr. Clark for an
explanation ot his position nnd he got It
atralght from the ehouldcr. Ho was told
that lie , Clark , was in this movement for the
purpose ot securing the populist party of
or Nebraska from the clutches ot democracy.
an Ho said an attempt was being made to sell
out the populhts and ho stood against It.
Ho denounced the Ignoble fusion by which
Watson was to bo betrayed Into the hands
of democracy by Senator Allen nnd Governor
ru Holcomb.
nt In the course of quite a lengthy speech ,
J. C. McNcrney said that Bill Dech and Paul
Vandcrvoort were the Instigators of this
movement , and that they were almost alone
in wanting to put up another pop ticket.
. "Vandervoort , " he said , "Is the worst polit
ical blackguard In Nebraska politics , " and
the sentiment was loudly applauded.
It's Some ono made the remark that everybody
was n mlddlo-of-tho-roader. Upon this Mr.
Clark exclaimed , "You are about as near the
lot middle-of-the-road as you would bo If you
were In h 1. "
Having captured the "middle-of-the-road"
convention , the combination of free silver
democrats and pops passed a resolution en
dorsing the Holcomb-Allcn brand of populism
and the fusion btatc and national ticket and
adjourned.

FREMONT. Sept. 28. ( Special. ) Slrcno B.
Colson died at his residence on Nye avenue
at 1 o'clock this morning. Since his return
from the Black Hills , where ho went for
his health about a month ago , he has been
gradually falling and for the past day or
two has been very low. For over thirty
years Mr. Colson had been n constant suf
ferer from asthma , nnd was obliged for the
past few years to spend his summers at the
hot springs.
Ho was born In Now York state February
13 , 1828. His ancestors came from Sweden
to this country In the early part ot the
eighteenth century and his grandfather
served in the revolutionary war. Ho was
educated In the common schools and learned
the trade of n shoemaker. In 1S39 ho came
to Fremont and homesteadcd nn eighty-aero
tract of land on section 15 , Platte town
ship , which ho owned when he died. He
continued to work at his trade at the same
tlmo taking charge of his land until 18G3.
In 18CO , when the Union Pacific railroad
was built through Fremont , ho took charge
ot the station here nnd continued In that
capacity three years. Ho Ihen served two
terms as treasurer of Dodge county. Though
ot fiall physique nnd always having the
appearance of n man whoso days on earth
wcro few , ho was an active , energetic busi
ness man and amassed a comfortable
fortune. Mr. Colson was early associated In
the grain business with Thcron Nye , his
brother-in-law , the name of the firm being
Nye & Colson. They did a large and pros
perous business , having many elevators
along the line of the nilthorn road , and
their successor , the Nye , Schneider Co. ,
Is one of the largest concerns of the kind
In the west. January 21. 1SGS , he was mar
ried to Francis I. Reynolds. They had three
children , two sons and a daughter , all now

man , nnd took an actlvo Interest In all that
tended to promote the welfare of the city.
He attended the first caucus of the re
publican party held In his town In New

zealous republican , having many times been
a delegate to state and congressional con
ventions and rendered efficient old on state
and county committees. He was very posi
tive and outspoken In his convictions and of
exemplary habits nnd character , which was
no doubt the reason ot his living so near the
allotted three score years and ten. He was
a member of the Nebraska society of the
Sons ot the American Revolution.

friends on the outside who furnish them
with the necessary tools , as a couple of new

searched. They had sawed the bar and pad
lock bolt almost In two. and but for the
Inspection of Jailer Ilalloway would have
escaped some tlmo during the night. When
the Jailer went In Into last night to look
around , he noticed the peculiar actions of
a couple ot other prisoners , who appeared to
be almost scared to death. He went to open
the door of the cage and the padlock fell
Into his hand , completely cut In two. The
prisoners have been securely locked up In
separate cells and as soon ns Judge Hani-
say passes sentence upon Glllcsplo they will
bo taken to the penitentiary.

TOKMONT , Sept. 28. ( Special. ) The first
load of roots for the American Chicory com
pany's drying kilns were brought to the fac
tory Saturday , and tomorrow morning the
work ot drying and preparfng for the fac
tory nt O'Neill the product of 1,200 acres of
chicory nlll begin.
Work was commenced on the building
six weeks ago and today It Is completed ,
the machinery In position and tested and
everything In running order. The main
building la five stories high , three stories
brick , 32x100 feet In size , anil tno stories
frame , 32x109 feet , extending out over a part
of the engine room which Is cast of the
mMn building. On the lower floor are three
largo coke burning furnaces which furnish
the heat for drying the roots and extend
Into the second story. From the tops ot the
furnaces extend ninety pipes for distribut
ing the heat , each four feel long and six
teen Inches In dlmactcr. The floor of thla
room Is brick , so there Is no danger of
fire. The third story Is where the roots are
dried and the door Is made ot perforated
steel plates. The roots are dumped from
wagons on cars Into hoppers and carried by
three elevators to the top of this fifth story ;
they then go over some slats where the dirt
Is brushed off and from there to slIctiM
machines which cuts them up Into thin
strips and are then carried to the drying
room. ' When properly dried , scrapers ope
ated by machinery carry them to the store
house which Is hack ot the main building
and has a capacity ot 5,000 tons.
The plant complete cost about $18,000. It
and the factory at O'Neill , which Is under
the same management , are the only estab
lishments ot the kind In the state. It will
necessarily have to run night and day nnd
will employ about twenty hands during the
season. The dried roots If properly cared
for can be kept for some tlmo and unlike
a sugar factory a chicory factory can run
the greater part of the year.
The company owns a tract of ground ad
joining the kiln which Is large enough for
a factory and Intends putting 0110 up ready
to use next season , so It will be able to
turn out the complete product. The chic
ory crop Is doing well and Judging from
what has already been dug , will run from
five to eight tons to the acre. The contracts
made with the farmers were executed be
fore It was decided to build a xlrylng kiln
at Fremont nnd call for n payment of $10.50
per ton delivered at O'Neill. The general
opinion among the farmers is that ordinarily
chicory will pay as well It not better than
sugar beets which moot the test of 12 per
cent saccharine content and SO per cent
cooillcicnt of purity.

alleged murder of one "Dutch John" several

became Implicated to some extent In al
leged crooked cattle deals and , according to
his own testimony In the trial , while rid
ing the range alone \ \ Itli "Hutch John , " the
latter threatened his life- for fear Herbert
would "blow" on him In regard to a car
of cattle that he ( John ) had rustled ana
shipped to Chicago. Some kind of alterca
tion followed In which shots \\ero ex
changed , culminating In the shooting of
"Dutch John" who was left dead on the
field. The plea of Herbert at the time was
self-defense , but the feeling was strong
against him on account of suspicions ot his
having been an accomplice of some of the
rustlers , and the trial resulted In his con
viction. Though somewhat wild and rcck-
less while here , no one suspected that he
was at all a dangerous character and the
petition Is being largely signed.

At the regular quarterly church meeting

was to request the pastor , Hov. J. II. Hur
ley , to withdraw his resignation which was
endered several weeks ago. No 111 feeling
of any character has existed between the
pastor and flock , butjtho former had arrived
at the conclusion that his Incumbency was ,
by ninny of the parishquers. considered a
burden , owing to the scarcity of money ,
and ho appears to have qffcrcd his resigna
tion so that no obstacle might bo placed in
the way of making any changes the churcii
thought desirable. The general Impression
now is that his services will bo retained for

of states was called and some representa
tive of the state was expected to respond.
Mr , Yotes responded for Nebraska nnd the
Chronicle hud this to say concerning his
remarks :
"Nebraska Henry W. Yatcs , president of
the Nebraska National bank ot Omaha , spoke
ot how well the state had done lu politics ,
hut said It had not done so well In banks.
The banks of Nebraska in the last thrco
years had lost $25,000,000. The loss was at
tributed to the low price ot grain and real
estate , rather than to currency agitation.
He hoped the dark clouds ot repudiation
would roll away at election and prosperity
return to Nebraska. "
Instead ot spreading , as Indicated by the
Chronicle , Mr. Yatcs said :
"Mr. President , Gentlemen of the Amer
ican Bankers' Association : It was not my
expectation to be called upon to answer the
call for Nebraska. In fact , I must admit
that until I came here this morning I had
not received Into my mind any clear un
derstanding of what the 'call ot state'
meant. It seems now that It Is a kind of
'experience' meeting In which bankers Join
In the good , oldfashioneday , by delivering
what conies nearest to their hearts.
"I regret to say that our state has
r. very small representation here , but It Is
seldom that the name of Nebraska can be
called , without some one being- present ho
Is willing to respond , and so I shall not hesi
tate to say something upon this occasion.
"Nebraska has done fairly well In politics
this year. Wo have been able to supply
the nominees of two of the presidential
tickets , one of whom Is making considerable
nolso In the world just now. Wo wcro also
able to furnish the presiding officers for two
of the great conventions and I have not the
slightest doubt but what we could have
filled nil the offices to bo voted for In an
equally satisfactory manner.
"While we have done so well In politics ,
I regret to > say thct I am not able to make
so good a report In respect to banking. Only
recently I have had occasion to Investigate
the statistics of Nebraska banks , by compar
ing the reports of July , 1892 , with those
of July , 1S'J5 , according to the published fig
ures ot the comptroller of the currency in
respect to deposits. Here It Is shown that
the Omaha banks lost during this period
about $7,500,000 ; the banks outside of Omaha
about $11,500,000. making a total loss of
J19,000,000 for the National banks alone.
To this should be added not less than
$0,0000,000 for the state banks , which In
creases the aggregate loss to $25,000,000 ,
which Is about $30 per capita.
"We have heard a great deal concerning
the quantitative theory of money , by which
It la claimed that prices are regulated en
tirely by the volume ot the circulation. If
there Is any basis ot truth whatever In the
theory , It can apply only to the \olumo of
money In actual circulation at any given
period , which It would be Impossible to es
timate. But In the figures I have mentioned
there would seem to exist an excellent ob
ject lesson In the campaign of education
which Is now being so energetically pressed
throughout the country. In Nebraska espe
cially we have more financial theorists and
teachers ot the science of money to the
square foot than exists in any other section
ot the United States.
"Some things we all agree upon. Wo all
know that real estate and all other values
are very much depressed. Now , Instead of
favoring legislation which would add a de
preciated currency to the volume of that
now exMstlng , and of which wo could receive
no portion as we possess no silver , It would
scorn much better for us to Investigate the
causes which have led to the disappearance
of the money we once had and by assisting
In the removal of these causes wo might
again receive our full measure of capital
circulation. To what extent the loss of de
posits by our banks may Indicate some re
lation to the low prices of agricultural prod
ucts cannot he definitely shown , but when
It Is seen that the money conditions which
oxlst In Nebiaska , also prevail In other
states which produce the same commodities ,
It Is not an unreasonable conclusion to form ,
that the withdrawal of this capital Is the
primary cause of the low prices , not only
of real estate and other securities , but also
of farm produce.
"It is certainly evident , that when these
western states produce large crops as they
have done this yen and the farmers are
unable to obtain the money with which to
purchase cattle to feed their corn to , this
enormous crop must bo thrown upon the
market tn bring what it will , and thus ntlll
Further depress the existing low prices.
When the true facts are clearly reasoned
out and recognized , which I believe Is now
being done by our people the dark cloud
of repudiation nnd dishonor which now over
hangs us will roll away and the sunshine of
prosperity will again gladden our homes
and fireside0 "
VISIT TO LINCOLN'S TOMB.
At the close of the convention the bankers
went on an excursion to Sprlnglleld. Ills. ,
visiting the tomb of ex-President Lincoln
Whllo there , Mr. Yates was called upon for
an address , and In speaking , he said :
"Mr. President and Ladles and Gentlemen :
To bo called upon to deliver even a five-
minute address at the tomb of Lincoln Is a
irlvllego which cannot bo too highly prized
although within the brief time allotted no
ndcquato expression can bo made of the
Bentlmcnt which the occasion Inspires. But
wo are reminded that the great patriot who
Ios hero has himself limited and circum
scribed the scope of all that may be uttered
wlthjn these hallowed precincts for using
its own words which proved so singularly
unprophetlc when applied to himself we
may well say , 'The world will little note ,
icr long remember what wo say here , ' but
t can never forgot what this man was who
lea dead hero.
"It is a circumstance which has no
> . " , rallel In history , that the memory of Lln-
: oln is revered and perpetuated , both by
hose who fought and believe with him ,
and by many ot those who fought upon the
stlverso side , or who , during Ills lifetime ,
did not approve of all ot the acts of his
Thore'H that sntlslled feeling that
you know that If KOIIIU accident happi'im
whereby your clothes have to bo
ripped ofT the bystanders will see Unit
you wear mighty good underwear If
you have Dr. .lacger's on recognized
as the only real underwear to wear.

administration. The most eloquent tribute
to his llfo nnd character , which has been
produced , Is contained in n lecture written
and delivered by a gallant soldier who once
'wore the gray. ' I myself never voted for
Mr. Lincoln when ho was twice a candidate
for the presidency , and I never voted for
any of those who followed him as the nom
inee of the party at whose birth ho assisted ,
but I do not hcsltatu to declare In common
with others like myself , that the character
of Lincoln as it has been brought down to
us free from the embellishment which flat
tery might confer , If It dared bo applied to
such a character as his Is the embodiment
ot most of what Is good , noble and attractive
in American citizenship.
"He was a true representative of the cause
ho upheld his love and devotion for the
union dominated with him all other de
sires , but It Is not this which most endears
tils memory to the American people. It Is
Ills personality which carries the attraction.
In this , he Is more truly a typo of the com
mon people of this country the 'plain
people' as ho himself 1ms termed them , from
whose ranks he came. Boasting of no aris
tocratic ancestry , he manfully claimed his
placed In the ranks of the laboring class ,
and demonstrated in Ills own person , the
absolute freedom of our democratic insti
tutions , by rising from this low station to
the highest position any man can occupy.
"But It may well hero bo asked who are
the common people from whom Lincoln ,
sprang , and Is It trUe that \vc as bankers ,
according to the edict delivered by one of
the contesting sides in the present political
upheaval , are to bp excluded from this class ,
and to be counted as aliens and enemies
thereto ? The common people are those who
rule and direct the destiny of this nation.
They are the men who toll In shops and
stores , In counting rooms nnd offices , In
lields and factories but among these must
bo included the men who bundle the re
sults of all thcso activities when they ma
terialize ns money.
"Tho bankers are as much n component
part of the great mass as are any of the (11-
rlslons of human labor which join to form
it. We arc only the servants and stewards
of the people who toll and save , and we are
is necessary to them as they are to us. Wo
lave done nothing to Injure the Interests
of thcso people If for no better reason
than that In Injuring them wo should Injure
ourselves , and wo protest against the
Icmagoglsm which strives to make political
: apltal from the peculiar character of the
nislness In which wo are engaged. We deal
n money , as others deal In merchandise ;
ind we have learned , by Instinct It not by
experience , to know and realize that an
exact measure is absolutely required 7n
noney affairs just as It Is In all other busl-
icas affairs. Wo naturally object to the ar-
iltrary change which It Is proposed shall
jo made In this measure , to which we have
always been accustomed , and which we
mow Is the only recognized and standard
ueasuro all over the world.
"It Is the holding of those opinions with
almost entlro unanimity which constitutes
ho sum and substance of our offending.
olned with the additional fact , that every
irlnclple of business honor and Integrity
nrbld our joining In the repudiation
schemes of the men who assail us.
"The war with which the name of Lincoln
vlll bo forever connected was n terrific con-
llct between men of the same family and
Inrago. There can never again be another
uch sectional warfare , let us not only hope ,
but believe that there can never be a strife
of any kind between our own people which
vlll set neighbor against neighbor , friend
against friend , brother against brother , and
hat the Insidious poison of class hatred and (
iverslon which Is now being so Industri
ously distributed. Let us who have here
gathered together from all parts of the
mlon pledge anew , In the words of the
great man who lies entombed hern , our love
.ml devotion to our country which 'under
Qod' received Its new 'birthright of freo-
lom * In a union restored and solidified for
vhlch union he rendered the last full meas

Senator Thurston has returned from hU
eomowliat arduous campaigning trip through
the cast. His volco Is much wearied by
continual speaking , but ho has renewed
confidence In the success of the republican
ticket In November next.
"I "regard It an obsoluto fact/ ' said tin
senator yesterday morning , "that every
state cast of the Mississippi and north of
Mason and Dlxon'a line will bo
for McKlnley. There Is no longer
room for doubt. The majorities will
not be close , but they will bo dccistvo
enough to settle the cheap money fallacy
for at least another generation to come. I
think it may bo said with perfect confi
dence that since the first ten days after
Mr. Bryan's nomination there have been no
desertions from the Konnd money ranks , but
instead the tide Is ( lowing flteadily toward
them. Every week from now to election
will show the same gain and I bcllevo the
time has como when the result is not In
doubt. "
In speaking particularly of Illinois , In
diana and other middle wpstcrn states , which
the Uryan managers have placed In the
doubtful column. Senator Thurston declared
that they would be republican by tremendous
deus majorltlra. There was no way lu which
they could be considered as doubtful , and
ovun the democratic managers knew It. Ho
believed that Bryan still cherished a hope
of election , but he was convinced that the
democratic steering committee had given up
hope and was simply making what It knew
would bo a losing fight.
"There Is strong ground for the expecta
tlon that Kentucky will go republican , "
added the senator. "General Buckner will
carry a big vote to the sound money demo
cratic ticket and the democratic vote will
bo so equally split that the McKlnley
electors stand an excellent chance of clo.tlcn.
Kansas Is also likely to go for McKlnley
and will nt least elect the republican con
gressional candidates. "
After his meeting at the Coliseum this
evening Senator Thurston will spend the
remainder of the campaign In this atate.
Ho will go to Des Molncs for one speech
nnd to Kansas City for another , and pos
sibly ono each In North and South Dakota ,
but ho will spend n solid month In actlvo
campaigning In Nebraska.
