LINCOLN, Juno 27. (Spcclnl.) Kansas
City Is not f.atlBfled with havlnp tho na
tional democratic convention. It now wants
Mr. Ilrynn for nn additional attraction,
either during or after tho convention. The
announcement of tho arrangements for tho
after-convcntlon celebration in this city has
let tho Knnsas Cltylans to thinking and
they have decided that they arc bcltiE de
prived of a portion of tho big democratic
how.
Thin afternoon It. H. Llndscy of Kansas
City, chairman of the convention press com
mittee, called on Mr. Aryan and urged him
to visit the .Missouri city at the close of
tho convention. Mr. Bryan has tho mutter
under consideration and will probably not
dccldo whether to accept tho invitation or
not until after ho confers with tho demo
cratic leaders of the cast, who arc to stop
hero on their way to Knnsao City.
KnnniiN ( lly Wilt He Hcntly.
Mr. Llndscy announced while here that
tho convention hall would bo completed In
tlmo for tho big meeting. "Tho opera
Chairs on tho lower floor of tho Auditorium
wero In pluco when 1 left," he Bald, "and
the cntlro building wilt bo finished In time
for tho convention. Wc have had no trouble
with the labor organizations, notwithstand
ing the fact that tho contractors urged the
workmen to Btrlko. All men employed on
tho building wero paid the highest wages
and they had practically all they could nsk
lor. They struck on other buildings, but
made nn exception of tho Auditorium.
"We expect an attendance of between 30,
000 and 40,000 pcoplo nt the democratic con
vention. There will probably be at least
IK, 000 from Missouri, tho samo number
from Kansas, 3,000 from Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, 1.G00 from Iowa and from
fl.OOO to B.000 from Nebraska. The esti
mates of attendance vary and some place
It as high as C0,000."
Kx-OovornorOlick of Kansas called on
Mr. Ilryan this nftornoon and discussed tho
political situation. Mr. Click has tho dis
tinction of having been the only demo
cratic governor Kansas ever had. Ho Is
now tho democratic nominee for congress In
tho First Kansas district, but from reports
received hero tho chances arc against him.
Tho district In which ho Is a candidate was
recently reorganized, the counties having
tho largest democratic majorities being
placed In nnothcr district. Those that now
comprlso tho district aro all republican.
(Hick served as governor of Kansas, de
feating In 1882 Governor St. John, who was
then a candidate for third terra.
(ilvcn nn Object I.enn.
Conditions havo changed very materially
In this county, as well as In every other
county In the state, during tho Inst four
years. In 1806 tho unemployed In Lancaster
county nlono could bo numbered by tho
hundreds. Today employment Is looking for
help and tho unemployed are not to be
found. Mr. Ilryan realizes what a chango
1ms occurred In this respect slnco ho was
last n candidate. For several days ho has
been searching for men to assist him in
harvesting his wheat crop, but has been tin
able to find them. Tho work was com
menced yesterday, but with tho force now
employed will not be finished for several
days.
Illchard Crokor and Congressman Sulzer
of New York will arrive here Saturday,
coming via Omaha, where they will be
met by members of tho democratic state
central committee, who will escort them to
Lincoln,

SCANDAL AT SOLDIERS' HOME
Grand bland Drutrpift Makes Complaint
to Eximinins; Board,
CHARGES OFFICIALS WITH UNFAIRNESS
llr. SwlKnrt I Snlil to ttnc Openly
Stnteil Thnt He Did ot Wuiit
Hiiehliclt to lime the
Contract.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Juno 27. (Spe
cial.) A. W. Buchlielt made n complaint
cstcrdny afternoon beforo tho visiting and
examining boards of the Soldiers' and
Sailors' Homo over what he considers un- I
fairness In the furnishing of supplies to the 1
home. Mr. Buchlielt had never been able to !
securo the contract for drugs and stntes that
tho last tlmo ho mado an unusually low
bid. Ills "spiel" was n success, theoretic
ally, and for tho flrst tlmo under the pres
ent management of the homo ho was given
n chance nt tho business. Beforo tho vis
iting board yesterday Mr. Buchlielt asked If
It wero not truo that tho appropriation for
medical supplies had been exhausted. Mr.
Beltzor, tho commandant, admitted that It
had. Mr. Buchlielt then asked for light on
tho matter, saying thnt ho has bad tho con
tract for furnishing drugs nnd supplies for
tho past threo months, thnt tho bill was
$11., that this would make nbout $G00 n
yenr. But the entire appropriation of $1,
500 had been expended In about fourteen
months.
Why lluchhelt Complain.
Mr. Buchlielt was nsked If ho was not
paid for everything that ho delivered nnd
replied that ho was, hut that was not tho
milk In tho cocoanut. One of the first
Items In the bill were n number of gallons
of such and such medicine which was pro
vided for In tho bid, but Dr. Swigart upon
hearing thnt Buchlielt had the contract satd
that ho would not need that mnny, Mr.
Buchhelt hnd also been told that Dr.
Swigart openly stated thnt ho did not want
Buchhelt to havo the contract and, while
Dr. Swigart denied having said this, ho
admitted thut ho felt more easy In dealing
nt other places. Ab far as the unrequited
medicine mentioned is concerned, Dr.
Swigart denied having said he would not
want It and It became n question of veracity
between tho two. Tho argument became
very personal for a few moments nnd there
was ovldcntly considerable feeling on both
sides. Dr. Swigart onco questioned the
quality of goods sold by Mr. Buchhelt and
tho lnttcr Insisted that ho could leave that
matter to any physician in the city.
Mr. Buchhelt asked If any other drugs
wero bought excepting on his contract and
was told thcro were. He asked why they
wero not bought of him, as had been the
custom to buy the "extras" where the con
tract goods were bought. Dr. Swigart stated
that he "felt more at home" at another
place, where, ho said, ho had been treated
better thcro from the start. The first time
ho had gone into Mr. Buchhclt's, he stated,
the latter had shown his extreme Inde
pendence. Concerning Some I'rlce.
Buchhelt was asked by Dr. Swigart
whether he did not charge a dollnr a gallon
for a certain drug and he admitted thnt he
had said that was tho regular price for tho
puro article. Dr. Swigart thereupon slated
that others mado It cheaper. This led Mr.
Buchhelt to call for the bills of Tucker
Farnsworth for the "extras" nnd he read
to the board several Items which ho stated
wereat prices higher than he would retail
them for. lie also asked Dr. Swigart what
he did with so much "wood alcohol," thl3
Item appearing frequently on tho bill, nnd
tho total being some seven or eight gallons.
Dr. Swigart replied that he had used It for
burning In n lamp during the smallpox
cases. The price on this, it was charged by
Mr. Buchhelt, was aUo exorbitant.
Commnndant Beltzcr explained to Mr.
Buchhelt that he had told Dr. Swigart that
In his (Beltzer's) opinion the drugs not
specified should be bought of the contracting
druggist, but it appears the doctor Insisted
on having his way.
Mr. Tucker of Tucker & Farnsworth
stated this morning that the extra buslnes
had simply come to them and they ha I
accepted It, as any ono else would, He
did not believe there over had been n con
tract under which some extras had not, nt
bomo time or other, been bought el cahcro.
Tho board laid the wholo matter on t Ix -
table for tho present and piobably no ac
tion will be taken.
Tho exhausted condition of tho appio
prlatlon of $1,500 In a little over 11 year,
when tho former medial department of
the homo was run two years on a $1,000
appropriation and that then 30111c mon y
was turned back, has tesn tho BiibJcH o"
Enmo comment. It Is further stated on
good authority that one of this city's physi
cians has done $IC0 wo th of bus!nc-B
among the Inmates of tho home for medical
attendance, this being paid by them Indi
vidually, In tho Inst threo months.
