BRYAN RETORTS.
Commoner Returns to the Attack of
Underwood's Ugly Record.
Lincoln , Nob. , Aug. 19. In the cur
rent issue of the Commoner W. J.
Bryan again takes up the Underwood
Incident. Referring to the Congres
sional Record containing the speeches
of Underwood and Kitchln , Bryan con
tinues :
"First , both ask for Mr. Bryan's nu-
thorlty. Mr. Bryan has given It , the
Omaha World-Herald , owned by Sen
ator Hitchcock.
'Second , Mr. Kltchln admits making
the speech attributed to him. He ex
presses surprise that n democrat would
use It. Thnt Is the partisan view , that
it is proper to criticise an opponent
but improper to criticise one of your
own party. Mr. Kltchln Is now con
vinced that Mr. Underwood was right
in favoring delay in reporting n bill
reducing the iron nnd steel schedules.
Mr. Brynn is not convinced. The ac
tion of the senate on other bills should
have no influence on the house pro
gram. There Is no good reason why
the house should not proceed to re
port bills as long as it is in session ,
the more the better.
"But the most notable thing about
Mr. Underwood's speech is that it
does not meet the real point at issue.
Did some one offer a resolution in
structing the committee to proceed
to report other bills and did Mr. Un
derwood oppose to defeat It. The
World-Herald dispatch says he did
and that is the basis of Mr. .Bryan's
criticism. Mr. Underwood admits that
some one offered such a resolution
and that he opposed it. Did Mr. Clark
offer or support such a resolution ? If
so , why did Mr. Underwood not so
state ? If Mr. Clark did not introduce
or support such a resolution , why did
Mr. Underwood not specifically deny
the report ?
"The fact that In the beginning ho
asked for immediate reduction on iron
and steel has weight but it does not
outweigh his opposition to immediate
reduction now. His reasons for his
present attitude are proper subjects
for discussion.
"Finally it will be noticed that he
did not answer the criticism of the
secret caucus. Does he stand for
dark lantern methods ? Docs he be
lieve that members should be per
mitted to hide behind a caucus which
furnishes no record vote as a mem
ber of congress ?
"Mr. Underwood can avail himself
of his personal privilege to denounce
a criticism but his explanation docs
not explain If Mr. Underwood's an-
swer is satisfactory to the democratic
members of congress Mr. Bryan ap
peals from their judgment to the judg
ment of their constituents. "

Twenty Years a Dope Fiend.
Because n physician has told him ho
will die within n short tlma unless ho
akcs treatment at n hospital , Angus-
us M. Lowthor , nrst class printer , for
wenty years addicted to the use of
norphlne , called on n local attorney
'cstcrdny nnd asked that the attorney
nnko a complaint against him to the
board of insanity at Madison , In whose
lower It Is to send him to the state
dipsomaniac hospital for treatment.
Lowthcr was found lying in front of
n cigar store on Norfolk nvonuo n few
days ngo , In n bnd condition. Thurs-
lay night he came to his normal senses
n the city Jail , where ho endeavored
0 kill himself. Fire Driver Trulock
summoned n physician , who declared
lint unless Lowthcr be given mor
mine , ho would very probnbly die.
Throughout the night the fire driver
sat by the unfortunate , and occasion
ally he Injected into the man's arm
enough morphine nt one shot to kill
Ivo ordinary men. Both of Lowthor's
arms nnd even his chest are covered
with marks of the morphine needle.
[ Io was nllowed to lenvo the Jail yes
icrday morning and ho immediately
icld n conference with the physician ,
who broke to him the news of his
coming death.
Lowthcr lost no time In seeking an
attorney and making the following re
west :
"I am from n good family , but I have
> eon taking morphine for about twen-
: y years and also have been drinking
nore or less booze. The doctor says
1 will die in n few days if I don't got
cured. I have no one to look after
me when I get those attacks when the
dope' wears off nnd I want you to
send me to the dlpso hospital. My ear
nest desire Is to get cured nnd if I do
; et cured I will never touch a drop of
iquor or use n grain of dope again In
my life. I have always had good work
ind nm n good printer. I have always
paid my bills and want to do what Is
right. "
There wns no wav for the attorney
: o help the man without making n
complaint against him and this was
done. A constable took Lowther be
fore the board at Madison Saturday
ifternoon and later ho will bo taken
[ o Lincoln for treatment. That the
man will suffer terribly during his
ireatments Is taken from various ex
periences had with him In this city.
Result of An Operation.
His body , clear of morphine , Is n
mass of quivering flesh and It Is 1m
possible for Lowther to steady him
self. At midnight last night he found
his way to the fire station , where ho
aroused Fire Driver Trulock.
"For God's sake , help me , lad , " he
exclaimed.
"Who the deuce are you ? " asked
the driver sleepily.
"I'm the dope fiend , " answered Low
thor. "I want you to help me. I'm so
nervous that I can't possibly help my
self. "
The driver under the direction of a
physician accommodated the man with
a "few shots" and shortly Lowther
wns again steady nnd feeling "good.1
"You see , it all started when I was
sick. They gave me the 'dope' when
I had the appendicitis and they kept
on giving It to me.
"I started to drinking and the drink
ing hurt my ailments. After the op
eration I found I could not do wlthou
the other , so I have been at it for
twenty years.
Lowther is a fine looking man and
from his appearance it is not easily
seen that he is a dope fiend. He has
worked as a printer in this city for
some time.

Flames Cause Loss of $150,000 , Cov
ered by Insurance.
Omaha , Aug. 21. Fire originating
In the car building and repair shops of
the Cudahy Packing company's plant
at South Omaha at noon caused n loss
of $150,000 to the Cudahy property
and less than $5,000 to the Union stock
yards. The loss Is fully covered by
Insurance.
In the Cudahy plant the departments
destroyed or damaged embrace an
nrea of 375 by 175 feet. The car shop
Is a total loss as nro the lumber nnd
supply yards. Two storage rooms and
the car Icing shed were- partially de
stroyed. The damage to the machine
shop is uncertain , the building Is of
fire proof construction but the ma
chinery Is believed to have been se
riously damaged.
In the Union stock yards the flames
were confined to a small area , includ
ing four hog sheds.
The origin of the fire is believed to
have been in a waste pile which may
have been ignited spontaneously. The
wind was blowing from the south at n
forty-mile rate , directly toward the
new $8,000 sheep barns of the Union
Stock Yards company , and it was with
difficulty the latter were saved.
A peculiar coincidence occurred
when another fire started nt another
point in the stock yards district whllo
the larger fire was burning. This is
the third fire within n week in the dis
trict , the first of which partially de
stroyed the L street viaduct last Wed
nesday. This viaduct is the property
