RATIO IS AGREED UPON
Sixtean to One Is to Co into the
Platform o the Nation-

TEI-PAETT CONFERENCE IS HELD.
All Participants Agree on the Forego
in? No Settlement of the Vice
Presidential Question.
Kansas City, July 4. A conference
of three political parties was held at
the Kansas City club yesterday. From
the Democratic party there were Jones
of Arkansas, Tillman of South Caro
lina, Croker of New York, Johnson of
Kansas; from the Populists there
were Kdinlnston of Nebraska, Weaver
of Iowa, Pettigrew of South Dakota,
Allen of Nebraska, and Heitfeld of
Idaho, and of the Silver Republicans
thei c were Teller of Colorado, Dubois
f Idaho, Newlands of Nevada. There
were other representatives of the dif
ferent parties present. The object of
the meeting was to form the basis of
an' agreement between the three al
lied parties as to a vice presidential
candidate, and as to the platform dec
laration on silver.
No Hedging '" the White Metal.
The conference settled as definitely
as it is possible for a few representa
tive men to settle anything in advance
that the platform should contain a
positive and specific declaration for
free coinage at Hi-to-1. but there was
no equally positive development In the
settlement of the vice presidential sit
uation. The meeting lasted from 11 a.
m. until l:l." p. in. and was marked
by great earnestness. The entire ex
change of views was ujMdi the two
questions of the financial plank of the
platform and the selection of a man
for second place on the ticket. Croker
said his delegation was willing that
the silver declaration should be made
specific. lie expressed tlie opinion
that the New York Democrats would
vole for Bryan regardless of the plat
form declaration.
Spirited Talk on ituniilng Mate.
Tlien was a very spirited talk over
the vice presidency in which all par
ticipated more or less. Clayton of Ala
bama held out strenuously for a
Democrat, "a man who had the Demo
cratic brand upon him." He said that
Brvan himself represented sufficiently
the I'opulistic or northwestern idea,
and he thought no concession should
be mad' in. the vice presidential nom
ination. He added that he meant no
reflection upon Bryan, but only in
tended to say that the ticket did not
require to be strengthened in that di
rection. Pettigrew and others of the
non-Democratic conferVees replied tart
ly to tins speech. It was generally
agreed that the trend of opinionamong
Democrats as developed in the confer
ence was antagonistic to Towne, but
no sentiment was developed in favor
of any Individual Democrat for the
place. Another conference was agreed
upon for tomorrow morning.
liltVAN TO KK NOMINATED TODAY.
That Is the Scheme Proposed Candidate
To Ite on Hand.
Kansas City. Mo., July 4. Unless
plans pcrfcctd last night are upset
r.ryan will attend the Democratic na
tional convention after his nomination
if he is put in the field early enough
to render it practicable for him to do
so. A formal invitation has been ex
tended to him. and he has said that
he would accept. This fact was
brought out yesterday afternoon at the
meeting of the national Democratic
committee, as was also the intention
of the national committee to have the
nomination for the presidency made
t .tday if iossib!e.
The desire on the part of the mem
Wrs to accomplish this end was de
veloped at the close of the session and
it was brought to the surface by an
Invitation to the committee from the
citizens of Kansas City to take a tally-ho
ride this evening. This invita
tion was extended by ex-Governor
Stone, of Missouri. '"When it was pre
sented Clayton took the floor in op
position to its acceptance, saying that
there was a well defined and very
general wish that Bryan should be
placed in nomination on the Fourth of
July, making a fitting Democratic cele
bration of the national anniversary.
Senator Kenney spoke in the same
strain, and Senator Jones descended
from the platform to add his voice In
support of tlie proposition. All agreed
that such a nomination would add spir
it to the occasion and give the ticket
a seml-ofT such as it would not other
wise receive. The memWrs of the
committee generally suirported the
proposition, and as a consequence the
invitation of the Kansas City ieople
was declined.
The discussion developed some
points of the programme of the com
mittee. It is its puritose to have the
usual committees aptointed aspropmt
ly as possible after the convening of
the convention, and to them have them
get together Immediately, act as soon
as they can, and If possible report
and have the convention act upon the
reports before adjourning in the after
noon. Failing to secure action in the
afternoon they hope to get the com
mittee reports disposed of early In the
evening and still accomplish Bryan's
nomination before the adjournment of
the night session.

Skim Diseases
When the excretory organs fail to carry off the waste material from the system, there is an abnor- J
mal accumulation of effete matter -which poisons and clogs the blood, and it becomes BOUT and ftCid.
This poison ia carried through the general circulation to all parts of the body, ana upon reaching
the skin surface there is a redness and eruption, and by certain peculiarities we recognize Eczema,
Tetter, Acne, Salt Rheum, Psoriasis, Erysipelas and many other skin troubles, more or less severe.
While the skin is the seat of irritation, the real disease is in the blood. Medicated lotions and
powders may allay the itching and burning, but never cure, no matter how long and faithfully
continued, and the condition is often aggravated and skin permanently injured by their use.
The disease Is more th&n s!iln deep; (lie ecilre clrccicilcn is poisoned.
The many preparations of arsenic, mercury, potash, etc., not only do not cure skin diseases, but soon ruin the digestion
and break down the constitution. .
S. S. S., nature's own remedy, made of roots, herbs and barks, of great purifying and tomcal properties, quickly and
effectually cures blood and skin troubles, because it goes direct to the root of the disease and stimulates and restores normal,
healthy action to the different organs, cleanses and enriches the blood, and thus relieves the system of all poisonous secretions.
S. S. S. cures permanently because it leaves none of the original poison to referment in the blood and cause a fresh attack.

Harry Barthold, accompanied by
his wife and two daughters, have re
turned from their trip to the former's
old home in Lancaster, Pa. Speaking
of their visit in the east the Manheim,
(Pa.) Sentineliaya:
-'Harry S. Barthold, son of our towns
man, Louis Barthold, sr., who resides
at Plattsmouth, Neb., is on a two
weeks' visit east, and ia accompanied
by his wife and two daughters. Mr.
Barthold is a representative to the na
tional council of the Junior Order
United American Mechanics, which is
in session Philadelhia this week, and
this accounts for his present visit. Mr.
Barthold, after finishing his trade at
cabinet making with Peter Wenger,
then in business, left for the west
twenty-two years ago, and has only
once since been east nineteen years
ago. He has been variously employed
in his western home, aod for a long
time run as a fireman on a railroad lo
comotive. He at present holds an im
portant and lucrative position in tbe
the finishing rooms of extensive car
shops and is getting along nicely.
"On Sunday there was a family re
union at the Barthold home, on North
Charlotte street. All the children
Louis, jr., John E. and Frank F., with
families, of Lancaster; Adolph A. of
Heading, Harry S. of Nebraska and
Charles and family of this place, were
present with their father and they en
joyed a good social time. A dinner
was served to which all did full justice
and the whole affair proved a very
pleasant one."
IS IT K1UHT
for an Kdltor to Kscommend Patent Med
icines? From Sylvan Valley News, Breva.d,
N. C. It may be a question whether
the editor of a paper has the right to
publicly recommend medicines which
flood the market, yet as a preventive
of suttering we feel it a duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have Known and used this medicine in
our family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many ca
ses a dose of the remedy would save
hours of suffering while a physician ia
awaited. We do not believe in de
pending implicitly on any medicine
for a cure, but we do believe that If a
bottle of Chamberlain's Dirrhoea Rem
edy were kept on hand and ad
ministered at the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence
of a physician would not be required.
At least this has been our oxperience
during the past twenty years. For
sale by all drugists.

Fourtn of July Jags.
There were quite a number of jags
on Main street last night, and several

prinoipal participants headed in the
direction of the jail, but the prisoner
and several of his frieods put up such
a smooth talk that Johnty consented
to let him go, providing he would put
