An Outpouring of the People to lira
Hon. John L. M't'lmtvr and Other Klo
fluent Speakers A Larce Overflow
Meeting Addrenned by Dr. KicketU a
the Conrt Houimv Kally Notes.
There huve been rallies of both io
litical parties in Pl'ittsmouth on num
erous occasions ever since it has been
a town, out the demonstration Tuesday
nigrht capped the climax of all pohti
c:tl gatherings iu its hitorj'.
Between GOO and 700 people were in
the parade, including the Seventh
ward military band and the Webster
flambeau club of Omaha, which came
down on a special at 8 o'clock.
The speakers for the occasion were
IJon. John L. Webster and Dr. Ilick-
etls of Omaha. A large crowd of jhjo
pie had gathered on Main otreet to
watch the marching of the McKinley
club and Railway Ellipses' Sound
Money league, over 300 iu all, which
wa headed by the City band. They
carried colored lanterns and appropri
ate transparencies and entertained
the large crowd until the arrival of
the special, after which tho Seventh
ward military band and the Webster
flambeau club, followed by tho Platts
moulh clubs marched up Main street
to Seventh, from Seventh to Fearl
and down to Sixth, thence north on
Sixth to Vine, east on Vine to Fifth,
then back to Main, where some de
lightful music was listened to, after
which tho speakers went up into
Waterman hall, but it was soon found
that the hall wne inadequate to hold
a half of tho crowd, consequently an
overflow meeting was held in the
court house yard and the largo crowd
was addressed by Dr. Ricketts of Om
aha. Ti.e meeting in Waterman hall was
presided over by President II. N.
Dovey. He introduced Mr. Webster
in a few well chosen words, and the
large audience gave the speaker their
uninterrupted attention.
Mr. Webster showed to tho satisfac
tion of every candid listener that the
fail iu tho price of silver had nothing
to do with the fall in tho price of
wheal, but that in four years the ex
port and consumption of wheat had
fallen off about 300,000,000 bushels,
lie tho wed that democratic tariff tin-,
kering was responsible for the de-T-reased
consumption of wheat and that
what we need is a job for every work
ingman, when increased consumption
would bring back the former good
prices.
A. N. Sullivan intoduced Dr.
Ricketts to the audience. Notwith
standing tho noine of the small boy
outside Mr. Ricketts succeeded in
quieting them and petting the atten
tion of all. The speaker gave a con
cise and intelligent review of the
money question, showing that he had
given the question much study. Mr.
Ricketts represented Douglas county
in the legislature two years ago and is
a gcntletmn of rare intelligence. He
is one of the most prominent colored
men in the state.
ALLEN IN THE TOILS.
Who
He Attempts to Shoot the Man
Foreclosed on Ills Farm.
W. T. Allen, lammariy Known us
"Wave" Allen, who has resided on a
farm near Ashland for several yearp.
yesterday performod an act which will
result in either landing him behind
the prison bars or in tho insane
asylum.
Allen was formerly a stock buyer
and prosperous farmer near Ashland
and ownea a good farm, but became
addicted to the liquor habit, and bv
poor management a mortgage was
plasteied on the farm which he was
never able to raise. Last soring tho
mortgage was foreclosed, and when
tne officers attempted to nerve notice
on him they were met with shot guns.
but no fatalities resulted. A. B,
Fuller, secretary of the Ashhud Mill
tnd Electric Light compmy, held the
m rtgage and tho matter preyed upon
Allen's mind to such an extent that he
became desperate and yesterday ho
walked into tho olllce of Secretary
I ullr and drew a revolver and fired
two shots at him, tho first only missing
his head aliout two inches. Mr. Fuller
s a man sixty years of age, but he
managed to get the revolver away
from Allen, but in so doing It was dis
charged, the ball lodging in Fuller's
hand. After he had seqiured the
weapon he pounded Allen's face to a
pulp and it is thought would have
murdered him had not citizens ap
peared on the scene.

the halucination that the people were

The trr)?parfcncits carried by
the local club were winners and enught
the crowd in the i igbt place. Matthew
Gv-'riiig and Colonel Sherman were
heard to expr ss their admiration for
them, especially ihe one which re
feried to the silver hcok as the only
means to catch a vote. ,
Many democrats were heard to ex
press their surprise at the republicans
getting so large a crowd on such short
notice.
ThoSoventh ward band of Omaha
is the best in the city. It rendered
some beautiful selections which were
well received.
Some of the hangers-on from Om-iha
loaded up on hilarity water and went
to a certain house of ill-repute in tho
city for the purpose of constructing a
rouh hou-e, but failed to gain an ad
mission in the uuul way, so they
thought to even up by breaking tho
windows. No arrests were made.
The sm ill boy was in evidence dur
ing the arade, and some who were
not so small carriod their hi'.! ritv
iitile too far by trying to trip some of
the members of the Flambeau club.
Some of them were sorry they epoke.

Hliigged 'With a Sandbag;.
Last night during the parade a lot
of boys thought to show a little of
their "good training" by walking
along b3" the side of the Flambeau club
and attempting to trip them. The
fun was kept up until some of the
members became quite vexed, to say
the lenst, and when one fellow got a
kick on the leg he turned quickly
around and struck the supposed of
fender, but, from what can be
learned, an entirely innocent boy
was the victim. Nattio Schultz

Dee ring Roller Bearing Ideal Mower, 4 1-2 and 5 -Foot Cut,
A. Round of Startling Victories
Has mirked tho path of the Deering Ideal Mower. No grass is too heavy or too light, no land is too rough and do
service is too-severe for this plucky little Ideal hero. Instead of friction bearings it has rollers and balls; the crank
shaft is parallel with the ground so that the SELF-ADJUSTING PITMAN moves steadily BACK and forth in work
man like fashion: the separated ledger plates hold the grasses like the roller of a feed cutter, and nothing can escape
or draw in under the sickh?; the adjustable drag bar pays the interest on the investment.
The driver of tho Ideal Mower can cut as slow as he likes and it is never necessaqj to back when starting.
The use of roller and ball bearings, has eliminated friction, and instead of grinding the bearings all the power
is used in cutting grass.
Drop in for a Catalogue.
We are headquarters for the best Buggies and Wagons. Also the
best hand-made Harness made from Oak Tanned Leather.
