' , . ' The democratic national con- vention adjourned late Saturday night after a stormy and some- \\1h.at ' sensational session. Judge Parker of New York and Henry 'I Davis of West Virginia are the nominees. Thc platform adopted - , ed indicates that democracy , has gone back to its first Jove. No _ _ reference is made to the money . - question , neither is an income tax made a part of the pJatform. . 'rh Kansas City. and Chicago platforms are entirely ignored. . The platform is essentially an eastern one. That Belmont , Hill , Morgan and men of like kidney are its authors there can be no question , , ; Those who expected Bryan to . . be ignored were mistaken. Without - out him a gold plank would have ' . . . " . been incorporated and right here \ is where the sensational tri k of the politicians was pl yed. Bryan was willing to make some concession in the interest of harmony if the other wing of . democracy would do likewise. Consequently he agreed to the omission of the income ta to plank if HIll would agree to' leave the gold standard plank out. The smooth David readily f . agreed and the platform was . adopted as reported from the sub committee. After the adoption I of the platform and the nomi- nation of Judge Parker Mr. Bryan who had been seventy two ' hours without sleep , collapsed and went to the hotel a sick man. Then Judge Parker telegraphed ' 1f'- the convention that he would not . . . rev. : : accept the nominatiOl unless the : , ' . platform could be construed as a gold standard platform. Of course this was a tnck. Judge Parker was a candidate on any old platform. He had remained . silent on every question of policy A Worthy Enterprise. . "t ; . ' , . - . . . . . . Father Bex of the Catholic " church has succeeded in raisin I f subscriptions to the amount of 814,000 for the purpose of erect ing a new h01\se of worship for his congregation. Though their . rt ' present building has , as large a seating capacity as any church in the city , it does not at all 1 . times accomodate the increasing . . . . . l- , _ : : - . . _ - ' , , -.t < ' , . . . ) . .d ! & : - : : " - ' " - ' and not five delegates in the con- vention knew his position. After practically lying to Bryan to keep the income tax out of the platform , and after he had been nominated , he pursues a course that resulted in nulifying every concession Hill had 'l made. , In other words they kept every thing out of the platform which Bryan wanted in , and put every thing in it that Bryan wanted out , and they did it by ring 1 , for the convention , rather than go through the work of nominating ancther candidate telegraphed Parker to put his own 'construc- tion on the platform. After the receipt of the Parker telegram the convention became disorganized. Speeches pro and con followed in rapid succession and Bryan got up from his bed a worn out man to continue his fight for the principles in which he believed. There is something about Bryan's sick face as he stood before that unfriendly gang from Wall street , fighting with all of his old fire for the lost cause , that takes hold of one who loves courage and principle. Bryan is today the leading democrat - ocrat of America and is stronger in his hour of defeat than ever before. That his party has for- saken him is but the result of the manipulation of those men who put the dollar mark on everything - thing in this life. The republican - can party may as well recognize the situation as it is. The same gang that have humiliated Bryan is today prepared to throw count- less thousands into the balance to defeat Hoosevelt. Eternal vigilance is the price of success , and it remains to be seen whether money can so corrupt a people ate S to elect a man like Parker over a man like Ropsevelt. membership. The work upon the new church will be begun next winter and it will be located at the corner of Fulton and Second - and streets. The enterprise of Father Bex is to be commended Not only has he the interest of his people at heart at all times , but he is a. worthy citizen who is i very popular with the entire community. . . . . . - . . . ' r 11 rS .u. ! . . " ' .J. C , , 1t Broke His Leg. Bert Baker , who is employed in the First National bank , was the victim of a painful accident on Monday evcning. Mr. Baker had made arrangements to go to Bonesteel , S. D. , to register for land and was leaving ] the car after having placed his baggage in it. Thinking there was one more step he came heavily to the ground upon his feet , and broke the large hone at the ankle. Dr. Fast was called and set the in- jured member. It will be some time before Bert will have the use of it. In the meantime he has the sympathy of his friends and no doubt he is regretting the loss of the land he expected to draw. Obituary.

Ladies Base Ball Gall1e. In a recent issue of a Sioux City paper a graphic account is given of a base ball game playcd in that city Methodist and Presu"terian"ladies. . . The thought suggested itself , why couldn't Falls City have a ladies l base ball game ? Why r coul < 1n't funds for a side walk to the cemetery be procured in this way ? 'l'here is plea ty material in the cemetery auxiliary and ( . the Sorosis club.Vhy wouldn't Mrs. D. C. KirJcpatrick and ] 111'1& : ; _ \V. H. Kerr make an ideal bat- tery ? And we'd be willing to to bet a ball wouldn't get past 1\1rs. Stockton as short stop. 'rho- , - Sorosis club could ] be represented J by such athletes as Mesdames. L. C. Mauger , G. C. Jennings and John Gillig-an. Such a worthy cause added to the popularity of the players could be the source of much profit. Think of the fun we'd all have. Now the 'rribune suggests that Mrs J. W. Holt , who has done so much toward the improvement of the cemetery property , master the two nines and get them into training. A Fast One. Lovers of the national game certainly got their money's worth at Poteet's ball part last Sunday when the Falls City Colts and Sterling crossed bats. Both teams were evenly matched and it waR a fine exhibition of scientific ball playing from the start Falls City run in one score in the sec- end inning and Sterling two in the fourth ; then both sides drew - blanks until in the seventh Falls _ City run in two more scores and Sterling one in the eighth , tying the score. Then it was a battle royal , for it took twelve innings to decide the game , when the home team , by a series of timely hits run in a score , making the score 4 to 3 in their favor. 'raken all in all it was the best game played here this season. The Sterling team is composed of , a gentlemanly lot of players and will always receive a hearty wel- come at the hands of our base ball enthusiasts. A feature of the game was a catch by Cornell in the fourth inning when all bases were full , thus keeping Sterling from running in several scores. The score by innings is as follows : ng-0-0-0-2-0-0-0-1-0-0-0-0-3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - Falls t-0-1-0-0-0-0-2-0-0-0-0-1-4 w . Ja ; m. . M oM. ; ' , M : . - ' _ . , . CO ! .
