Aug. 23. In the Nebraska Democratic coavention Edgar Howard was made permaaent chairmaa without oppoaitioB and the nominations ware made by acclamation. After speeches of minor importance, babbling over with sUrer sentimeat and opposition to the A. P. A., thejeom Bmittee" reported the following resola- tioBs:' We, the Democrats of Nebraska, in coa vention assembled, reaffirm our faith ia those principles written in the Declaration of Ajaerican Independence and emphasised by Jefferson and Jackson, namely, that all men are created equal; that they are en dowed by their creator with certain in alienable rights, among which are life, lib .srty and the pursuit of happiness; that governments are instituted among men to secure these rights, and that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed; and we demand that .all of the departments of the government, leg islative, executivo and judicial shall be administered in accordance with these principles. We reaffirm the declaration made by the last Democratic state convention held ia Nebbraska on Sept. 26, 1891, Wo believe that the restoration of the money of the constitution is now tho para mount issue before the country, and insist that all parties shall plainly state, thelt respective positions upon the question, In order that the voters may intelligently ex-' press their preference. We, therefore, de clare ourselves in favor of 'tho immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coin age of gold and silver at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, as such coinage existed prior to 1873, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation, such gold and silver coin to be a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, We send greeting to our Democratic brethern throughout .the Union, who are making such a gallant fight for the restor ation of bimetallism, and congratulate them upon the progress mode. We deprecate and denounce as un-American and subversive of the principles of free government any Attempt to control the action or policy of tho political parties of this country by uecret cabals or organi zations of any character, and warn the people against the danger to our institu tions which lurks under any such secret organization, whether on religious, politi cal or other differences of .opinion. Recognizing that the stability of our in stitutions must rcst.on the virtuo and in telligence of the people we stand, as 'in the past, in favor of the free common school system of this state, and declare that the some must be perpetual and receive liberal .financial support, and that the management and control of said school system should be nousectarian .and non partisan. The Democracy of Nebraska approves and commends the declaration of Presi dent Cleveland in the past in' condemn ing the pernicious activity of incumb ents of federal offices under tho govern ment in attempting to control the policy and nominations of their parties, anil we hereby recommend the renewal of the policy of ills first administration in that regard. A delegate attempted to place the fol lowing before the convention as the minority report: We commend the administration of President Cleveland as being able, patri otic and honest; reaffirm the platform adopted by the Democratic National con vention at Chicago in 1892. Scarcely had the first word been' uttered when" there was such a roar that order was not restored for 10 minutes, when the resolution was tabled without comment. Hon. W. J. Bryan and other Nebraska Democrats addressed the convention on financial issues in the evening. CAMPBELL FOR GOVERNOR. BBckeye Democrats Toted Dow Free Silver at Sprieg-field. Springfield, O., Aug. 22. The ticket: Governor J. E. Campbell Lieutenant Governor Jotrx B. Peaslkv State Auditor. James W. Knott State Treasurer. William Sholt.r Supreme Judge William T. Mooxkt Attorney General George A. Fairbanks Member Board of Public Works. .H. B. Keeixr Clerk of Supreme Court . . . . J. W. Cruiksh akk The'Democratic state convention here made all its nominations without oppo sition. The convention was in session from 10:10 to 2 p. m. and nominations were completed in a half hour after ex Governor Campbell had been drafted for the standard bearei. The ballots were all on the minority report, on credentials and resolutions, and the time was consumed between the gold and sil ver men. The gold men, headed by Senator Brice, had claimed there would be less than 300, and probably not more than 200 of the 800 delegates vote for free silver. The silver men churned they would have no less than 300, and per haps 3.0 delegates for free silver. - It developed that there were 270 free silver delegates. It was a fighting minority, but would not carry the fight further than on .the platform. The nominee for member of the board of public works is said to be the only free silver men on the state ticket, although lines were not drawn ou the candidates. - - Qaay'a Opponents Ceandeat.. Harrisbcro, Pa., Aug. 27. Senator Quay and his followers made a bold dash in the fight for Republican su premacy in this state, by taking posses sion' of the state committee and depos ing B. F. Gilkeson from the chairman ship. The object in doing this was to place themselves in position to prepare the.rolls of the delegates to Wednes day's convention, so that they might appear before that body ' with a prima facie case. What tha effect of this move will be cannot yet be foretold, and the next move of the Hastings people is looked for with great interest. The situation in general is intensely ex citing and altogether uncertain. Both, .factions are claiming victory. Reeelrer Aecaaed ef Holdta- Oat. PtATTSMOCTH, Aug. 25.

Kittel of Washington, D. C.,' shot and instant-1 ly killed himself at Hotel Wylie, on Sixth street, at 8:55 Monday morning. Mr. Kittel was probably U0 years of age. Little is known about him. It is believed that he was connected with the war department at Washington. A telegram from Washington says that W. W. Kittel was a clerk in the record and pension division of the' war department.' There seems, says the telegram, to be some melodramatic mys tery behind, his death, which cannot be cleared up at present. The record of the department shows he was appointed in 1891 from Nebraska. . -Kittel was engaged to Miss Olive Wylie, the wedding to have -occurred last 'Saturday. Kittel surprised his sweetheart very much on Friday night by telling her that the wedding would have to be postponed for a short time, because he was broken down in health' and had obtained a seven dayY leave of absence from the office and intended going away for a short time to try and recuperate. Miss Wylie is prostrated and can throw no light on the tragedy. Runaway Boya Hart. Sedaua, Mo., Aug. VI. Charles A. Van Sinlo and Frank Knell, each 15 years old. ran away from their homes in this city and went to sleep on the Missouri Pacific track near Centretown.

People Weald Net Pntrentee the Dfaft-natlns-KzhlhRieaa, Cripple Cheek, Cola, Aug. 27. Not to exceed 200 people went to Gillett to see the bull fight and on account of the slim attendance no killing was done. The socalled fiesta is at an .end and the people are heartily glad. Financially the "show has proved a flat failure.. Those connected with the management of the affair have been arrested three times since Saturday afternoon, charged with cruelty to animals, but all have settled by the payment of comparatively small fines, 95 and costs being the amount 'women' in' nearly all the cases. It is not likely there will be any fur ther prosecution in connection with, the affair. The prise 'fight arranged be tween George Hall and Frenchy Os borne failedto come- off, the pugilists being disgusted at the prospects of drawing a crowd. Denhy Detng Evetjthlae; WASEfrxcrrox, Aug. 27. Minister Denby has not yet advised the state de partment concerning the present situa tion in China. Acting Secretary Adae said the minister was not the kind of a man to report what he intended to do or to report progress at certain stages of business he has in hand,- but he would be more likely to. report an accepted fact. He has no doubt that the min ister was doing all that was possible to do. Sak Francisco, Aug. 28. The at torneys for Theodore Durrant have two witness, Marias Burnett and Edward McPherson,by whom they expect to prove that their client was on Market street at the moment when the prosecution in sists that a fiendish murderer was mutilating the body of the dead in the library of Emanuel church.

Taylor was argued on habeas corpus be. fore the supreme court Monday" At torneys for the state contended that the sentence was valid aad that if the five years' sentence was not valid, but the court exceeded its jarisdictioa, then it was invalid only in so much as it ex ceeded the jurisdiction of the court.

Four marder- en were taken from the county a mob of 350 man at 1 o'clock aadlynched. A band of cJrhtias, fear iag that the law would not be carried out and angered over the atrcrity of re cent crimes, determined to take rashers into their own hands. 'Xalynching was a ghastly climax to '.V reign of lawlessness which has prev.iasd in Sis kiyou county for soma months past. One of the victims was Lawrdnoe John 'son, who, on the evening oT July 2K, stabbed his wife to death in the town of Etna. Another was William Null.' who shot Hnry Hayter in the back with a rifle near Callahan's on April 21. Louis Moreno and Garland Soomler, who are supposed to have killed George Sears and Casper Meirerhans at Bailey HiH on Aug. 5, were also hanged. At 1 J at night farmers from all parti af the surrounding country began to drive into town, and by midnight the mob was ready to march to the county jail. Before taking a step, however, every precaution was taken to prevent the plans of the lynchers from being frustrated by the officers of the law. The sheriff and one of his deputies were decoyed to another part of town by two members of the mob, who were engaged In a sham fight, and the fire bell muffled to prevent an alarm being gi in that way. When, the jail reached the mob, all r of whom were masked, awakened Under Sheriff Red ford and demanded the keys to the lail. He positively refused to open the door or give the keys up, telling them that if they broke in the doors he would blow their brains out." - The mob got on top f the stone wall which surrounds the jail. Deputy Sheriff Henry Brahtlacht, who has been sleeping in the jail since the commit ment of so many murderers, thinking some one-was :escaping from the jail, fired two shots out of the window to alarm City Marshal Parks and Deputy Sheriff -Radford. He then opened -the doors and was immediately held up by the mob, who took the keys from him and entered the jail. Having no keys to the different cells they were com pelled to burst the locks with a sledge hammer, which they proceeded to do at once.. Lawrence Johnson, who brutally stabbed bis wife, wss the first to receive, the attention of the mob. They broke the lock from the door of his cell and placing a rope around his neck, led him out of the jail across' the street to where an iron rail had been laid be tween the .forks of two locust trees. Johnson pleaded for mercy, but the silent gathering gave no heed to him and he' was quickly strung up, dying from strangulation in .a few .minutes. The mob returned to-the jail and next broke into the cell of William Null, who shot Henry. Hayter at Callahan's on April 21 in a. dispute over a mining property. Null desired to make a state ment, but time was too valuable to per mit any such preliminaries and he was soonl hanging alongside of Johnson. Louis Moreno, who was charged .with having killed George Sears on the 5th of this month, was then taken from bis cell and was soon swinging with John son and Null. The last and youngest of the four murderers to pay the penalty of his crime was' Garland Seemler, aged about 19, who, in company with Moreno, was charged with having killed Casper Meircbans. A rope was placed around his neck and he was led from the jail in -his bare feet. He begged for mercy and his last words were: "Tell my dear old mother I am-innocent of thecrime.'r About this time Sheriff Hobbs, hav- ing been notified, arrived on the scene and starting for the jail door, wa3 com manded to halt, the command being emphasized by the display of several re volvers. He was told that. the "job" had been done. By this time the greater part of the mob had disappeared, leav ing only about 30 or 40 men on guard, who soon left after the sheriff arrived. The bodies were taken down by Coro ner . Shofield and Marshal Parks, who removed them in a wagon to an engine house, where they were laid side by aide. The coroner has summoned a jury to hold an inquest. Trekaisa little mining town and years ago was frequently 'the scene of mob-violence. Jee Fetches Won the Chicago. Aug. -24. Joe Patchen won the great race . against John R. Gentry in straight heats. The race took place on the famous Washington park track, but as a wind that amounted almost to a gale blew all afternoon, a sensational time performance was out of the ques tion. The three heats were- covered in 2:05J, 2:07 and 2H)7J. Nevertheless the contest is regarded as one of the soost important that has taken place on the trotting or pacing turf.

PARIS POLICE ARE PERPLEXED, Anthers ef the Attempt to) Kill RethsehlM Paris, Aug. 27. The efforts of tho police' to discover the authors of tbejrt tampt upon the life of Baron Alphonse de Rothschild on Saturday by sending him an infernal machine disguised as a mail package, which exploded when opened by the banker's confidential clerk, M. Jodkowitz, badly maiming him, have proved unavailing up to the present time. The authorities, how ever, are confident that it was tha work of anarchists, and 90 suspected anarch ists have been arrested, examined and obliged to give the police specimens of their handwriting. They were subse quently discharged. M. Jodkowitz con tinues to improve. ' An anarchist was arrested at Vie Syr Cere, department of Cantal,"upon the information of the postmistress of that place, who declares that the man taken into custody posted a letter similar to the one received at the Rothschild's bankiag house on Saturday.
